Chapter 498 The Great Melee!
If it is the Ghost Scholar, then the human race will suffer a great blow, but if the human race wins, it will probably give the human race an unprecedented boost in morale.
After studying the answers to the questions, the judges gently put down everyone's papers. Finally, Xie Ming stood up and, under everyone's watchful eyes, scanned the contestants below:
"This year's competition is not bad, as thirty people have made it to the next round. Ten scholars need to be eliminated in this round, so according to the rules, the last ten will be eliminated from the next round."
As soon as the words were spoken, the hearts of those scholars tightened. They all knew that their exam papers were not perfect and would almost certainly contain mistakes.
If they are discovered by the other side, they will find it difficult to escape being eliminated.
"Alright, let's announce the champion of this year's Six Arts competition!"
"First place, Ye Ru!"
As Xie Ming finished speaking, countless people turned their shocked gazes toward Ye Ru.
Their eyes held shock, astonishment, and admiration.
Because, in the entire history of the Jin State Scholars' Conference, there has never been a person who has achieved six consecutive wins!
However, as everyone looked at Ye Ru with various expressions, Shi Tianze's face grew increasingly gloomy.
Because at that moment, he suddenly had a feeling that he had killed Shi Yu!
"what happened?"
Seemingly noticing something amiss, Mr. Kong turned his head and asked.
He was also surprised that Shi Tianze could unleash such a powerful killing intent in such a short time.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."
Shi Tianze also realized his loss of composure, and immediately withdrew the killing intent emanating from his body, and slowly said.
"How is this possible! He's actually number one!"
Yan Jin looked incredulous, his heart churning like a stormy sea. He had been mocking Ye Ru for being nothing special, and he had even thought that Ye Ru had really failed to solve the problem. But now it seemed that Ye Ru ignored him because of his disdain and his arrogance!
"That's impossible! There must be something fishy going on. Maybe the judges gave him the championship because they didn't want us to win it."
Yan Feng's eyes were filled with killing intent as he spoke in a deep voice, which made Yan Jin nod.
"Second place, Kong Ling."
"and many more!"
Before Xie Ming could make another announcement, a voice suddenly rang out in the hall, causing everyone present to look in that direction.
There, Yan Jin reached out and interrupted Xie Ming.
"What are you doing?"
Xie Ming looked at Yan Jin, frowned, and slowly said.
"I have the right to suspect that you are cheating. I don't believe that Ye Ru could get all three questions right in such a short time!"
“These questions are all very difficult, and none of us have seen them before. We have no idea who is right and who is wrong, so I’m asking for the results to be made public. Is that too much to ask?”
Yan Jin took a deep breath, a look of madness on his face. If he lost here, he would probably lose his life when he returned to his demon clan.
The demon race is far more cruel than the human race.
As soon as he finished speaking, the unsuspecting onlookers began to discuss among themselves. Although Yan Jin and his group were their mortal enemies, scholars have always been prone to mutual disdain, and they could not believe that such a perfect person could exist in the world.
Looking around, Xie Ming's face also darkened, and then he slowly said:
"Alright, since that's the case, then show Ye Ru's exam paper, so that no one among you will be dissatisfied."
"Hmph, now you're going to show your true colors."
With a glint in his eyes, Yan Jin thought to himself, then looked at Ye Ru with a cold smile, anticipating Ye Ru's defeat in this match.
"Now it seems that if these ghost scholars lose, even if we don't have to lift a finger, they will probably face considerable punishment when they reach the demon race."
Mr. Kong stroked his beard, looking at the furious Yan Jin and Yan Feng, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Hmph, these people deserve to die."
Mr. Meng clenched his fist and said in a cold voice.
Afterwards, Xie Ming took out all the test papers written by Ye Ru, pondered for a moment, and then used his talent to enlarge them, finally placing them together with the answers to the arithmetic problems.
"Now, does anyone still have any objections? To verify whether this answer is correct, I have specially obtained the original copy of the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. Under the guidance of the classics of the sages, if I were to check for errors, I am afraid a holy lightning bolt could strike me dead."
Xie Ming looked at Yan Jin with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and then slowly said.
"Well, in all my years, this is the first time I've seen someone get all three questions right. Besides, I personally selected these questions with Brother Xie Mingxian. So, if others don't believe me, surely they won't believe me?"
An elderly man stood up, walked shakily toward the stands, and then spoke in a deep voice.
This person silenced the people of Jin, and Ye Ru was also somewhat taken aback. Who was this person? He had never seen him before.
"As a person of the Yanhuang Kingdom, you naturally do not know about the people of our Jin Kingdom. This old man is named Liu Jing, a descendant of Liu Hui. This 'Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art' is a commentary written by Liu Hui."
Kong Ling whispered to him.
"So you are a descendant of that senior."
Ye Ru suddenly realized and said.
"Therefore, the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art is above, and I am a descendant of the Liu family. Thus, the solution provided by this young man named Ye Ru is entirely correct. If anyone still does not believe it, we can request the Emperor's judgment. However, if the Emperor's judgment fails, you all know the consequences."
Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, the faces of those watching the competition were filled with astonishment. Then they realized that Liu Jing was an expert in mathematics and had the support of the classics of the sages. It was impossible for him to cheat. If he did cheat, he would probably be struck by lightning.
Upon hearing this, Yan Jin's expression grew even more gloomy. Since the other party had said they would use the Holy Judgment, his only chance was gone, and he could only try to turn the tide in the next round of the thesis.
This time, we must kill him! To avenge this humiliation!
Gritting his teeth, Yan Jin retreated and waited for Xie Ming to announce the rankings before the final competition was completed.
Once the competition rankings were all completed, everyone's spirits soared to a new level. Fiery gazes were fixed on Ye Ru and the others, because after this competition, the entire Scholar's Gathering would conclude, and the first scholar would emerge.
With burning eyes, Ye Ru and the others took a deep breath, their faces becoming extremely solemn. This was the first time they had heard of this paper, and judging from everyone's expressions, choosing the first place would be extremely difficult.
Do you know what this paper is all about?
Ye Ru turned to Kong Ling and said, "The papers are different every year. I really don't know what the competition rules are for this year."
While everyone was pondering the competition, Xie Ming stepped forward and said:
"This final round of essays is different every year. This year, we're using a free-for-all format. That means we'll put all twenty of you in one place and let you fight it out yourselves. Whoever can last until the end will be the winner of this final round. The first six rounds are all about academic knowledge, but the final round is about the strength and power of your talents!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire arena erupted in an uproar. No one expected that the final round would be a contest of talent and strength, and in such a chaotic manner!
