Chapter 198 Literary Battle

He must prepare well for this competition and win so he can stay here. He needs to thoroughly investigate these issues.

Dean Zhang kept glancing at Chen Feng, as if Chen Feng were incredibly important to him. Chen Feng retorted without backing down, and Dean Zhang on the stage snorted and turned his face away. Dean Zhang was thinking to himself, "This kid, huh, he's about to die today, and he's still so arrogant."

The competition then began. There were 300 participants, which wasn't a huge number, considering the large student body of the academy. However, many were just there to make up the numbers. The truly skilled participants weren't many, let alone those who could compare to Chen Feng. Therefore, Chen Feng wasn't afraid of anyone he couldn't handle even with his full strength. This allowed him to continue concealing his true power and easily secure first place, giving Teacher Zhang a slap in the face, especially since that person had so provoked him on stage, convinced Chen Feng lacked ability.

However, Chen Feng was unaware that he would run into Teacher Zhang in his next match today. The academy was packed with people today, more lively than usual, probably because this competition was held only once a year and was taken very seriously. Therefore, there were quite a few participants. Needless to say, the number of spectators was even greater.

The match was about to begin, and the tension on the field had increased to about 70%. Everyone was looking forward to the upcoming match, but some were nervous because they felt their skills weren't up to par and were still preparing. Chen Feng, on the other hand, sat there leisurely, waiting for the match to start.

The little girl asked him, "Aren't you nervous at all?"

Chen Feng didn't answer her, but the girl could tell from his actions that he was genuinely not nervous at all. Sigh, the girl was nervous for him in her heart, but then she thought, with his martial arts skills, why should she be nervous for him? However, the next event was a literary competition, so she was still quite worried for him. After all, she hadn't heard anything about his literary talent, and despite studying together for so long, he didn't seem to have been exposed to many academic subjects. So the girl then secretly worried and said to him, "The next event is a literary contest. How's your writing? But don't worry too much, the dance is still the majority, so it won't matter too much if you lose."

Chen Feng looked down at the young girl. Sigh, this girl really loved to worry about him. "You don't need to worry too much. After all, I'm capable. There's no need to be so tense. Just watch."

The girl next to the young girl was even more surprised. The young girl, on the other hand, said that if Chen Feng had said it, he wouldn't lie to her. The girl next to her nodded in agreement, still unconvinced. She thought Chen Feng was a newcomer who hadn't been here long; how could he possibly compare to a teacher? This wasn't just the girl's thought; presumably, most people in the academy thought the same way.

As the gong sounded, the first match was about to begin. First, there was a draw, and everyone was assigned a number to compete against each other. There were over 300 people, and Chen Feng was surprisingly drawn to sit next to Teacher Zhang. There was no doubt that there was something wrong with the draw. Teacher Zhang must have secretly arranged for him to sit with Teacher Zhang. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? So Chen Feng wasn't too surprised. However, he thought that Teacher Zhang was really asking for trouble this time.

Unlike Chen Feng, Teacher Zhang was talking about how he finally had a chance to kick out those who had gotten in through connections, like Chen Feng. He felt it was unfair that he had worked so hard and earned his place step by step, while others could get in using tricks. Teacher Zhang was very resentful, but he didn't know that today he would be ending his career as a teacher. The two sat down peacefully together.

Chen Feng also said, "What a coincidence, Teacher Zhang."

The little girl was very worried to see the two of them sitting together. After all, Teacher Zhao had been targeting him, and she was afraid that he would use some underhanded tricks to frame Chen Feng. So, standing next to Chen Feng, the little girl looked at Teacher Zhang with hostility and said, "You have to be careful, some people have bad intentions." She gestured with her eyes, indicating that she was referring to Teacher Zhang.

Chen Feng sensed the girl's deep concern for her, but he couldn't offer any reassurance, so he could only comfort her by saying it was alright. "I believe that under the watchful eyes of everyone, Teacher Zhang will uphold fairness and justice."

"As a teacher, I will certainly be impartial. With my abilities, you will accept your defeat wholeheartedly," Teacher Zhang said disdainfully.

Chen Feng disagreed, saying, "Then I'll wait and see what you've got to offer, Teacher Zhang."

The competition was very exciting. Although it lacked the grand scale of a martial arts contest, the literary competition still attracted a lot of interest.

Many of the participants in this competition are teachers. Although very few SS-level individuals participate, being a teacher in this academy is already a great honor. That's why Teacher Wang doesn't take Chen Feng seriously; he believes he deserves more respect. The academy also upholds the principle of meritocracy; the higher the rank, the more respect one receives, regardless of age, gender, or gender—everything is judged by strength.

First, there was a competition between two literature teachers. Being the most talented among teachers, they certainly had exceptional skills, so their exchange was quite exciting. The students cheered and applauded below. They posed question after question, each sentence testing the other. Their erudition flowed freely. Because of this, although the students were watching a battle of wits, it was also incredibly entertaining.

With the last person unable to continue the poem, the competition came to an end, with another teacher emerging slightly ahead.

Several other well-known pairs of players then joined the competition.

The little girl next to him was also very happy, introducing everyone on stage to Chen Feng. Occasionally, she would mention some of the more famous or better performers, explaining them in detail to Chen Feng and urging him to pay attention. After all, this competition was about to determine a winner.

Next up was his turn. Chen Feng and Teacher Zhang stood up and walked onto the stage together.

Chen Feng went on stage and bowed to everyone, but Teacher Zhang didn't seem to care. He proudly held his head high, considering himself a teacher. Chen Feng wanted to bow back, but seeing his attitude, he realized there was no need to be polite or show any courtesy; after all, Teacher Zhang wasn't exactly a respectable person.

As the gong sounded, the competition began. The two exchanged blows. Originally, Teacher Zhang was better at martial arts than academics, so his talent wasn't anything special. However, he didn't expect Chen Feng to be a person with genuine talent. He had thought that Chen Feng had only entered the academy with some tricks, but he never expected that his own talent was inferior to Chen Feng's.

He felt extremely strained, but he gritted his teeth and used all the knowledge he had acquired to cope.
