Chapter 331 - 338: So Fresh and Refined! (First update)
In the air, spiritual energy was pressing!
A piece of paper resonated violently amidst a surge of talent, adorned with eight glowing words.
The characters were well-crafted, bearing the resemblance of dragons, looking steel-like, resounding with power.
Yet, everyone present was dumbfounded, their faces filled with horror as they stared at Yang Zhen.
“This… This Yang Dingtian was far too audacious, daring to write such vulgar words on the Palace Master’s birthday.”
“Yang Dingtian is finished!”
“Basking in the favor of two spirit ladies, cherished by both Palace Masters, if Yang Dingtian had followed their wishes, he could have potentially bypassed the norm and joined the Spiritual Studies Palace, his potential limitless, but…”
“But he essentially committed suicide. With these words revealed in this situation, under everyone’s gaze, who could save him?”
“Who could save him?” Everyone shook their heads in sorrow: “In this situation, even the Palace Master might be infuriated, let alone the other Palace Master. The entire Spiritual Studies Palace will be offended by Yang Zhen’s eight words. Even with the favors of the two spirit ladies, could they salvage Yang Zhen’s face in this situation?”
“Everyone, I’m not well-learned, are these eight words really ‘seizing a toad and squeezing out urine’?”
“That… Who knows!”
Ning Wuque burst into hearty laughter, looking both delighted and chilled. Everyone’s mind shook, terrified yet thrilled.
By writing these eight words, Ning Wuque took this opportunity to thoroughly suppress Yang Zhen, leaving both Palace Masters speechless.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with apprehension, staring at the man they felt was bringing his own doom!
Hu Tao was completely stupefied, sitting down with a look of disbelief staring at Yang Zhen.
Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling exchanged a glance, seeing the confusion and worry in each other’s eyes.
The scoundrel cat and the rooster exchange a glance, chuckling wickedly: “Catching the toad and squeezing out urine, damn, this kid is daringly playing!”
“It’s bad!” Concluded the serious rooster.
The whole birthday banquet gradually fell silent, leaving only the resonating sound of the eight words in mid-air.
Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, casting a sideways glance at Ning Wuque. He turned to look at the ‘Three Lotus Seats’, and said teasingly, “Did the ‘Three Lotus Seats’ recognize these eight words?”
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief. Could it be that these eight words, ‘seizing a toad and squeezing out urine,’ held another secret?
Everyone’s eyes widened, and necks stretched, riveted to the eight words in mid-air.
Ning Wuque’s expression changed, then relaxed and sneered at Yang Zhen. Although these eight words were written wildly and hard to recognize, Ning Wuque, familiar with various books and texts from an early age, understood various fonts like the back of his hand. Now as a strong man on the verge of the Tribulation Crossing Period, would he misread a few words?
The ‘Three Lotus Seats’ exchanged a glance with Ning Wuque, then said gravely, “Yang Dingtian, no matter how you argue, these eight words can’t be interpreted other than ‘seizing a toad and squeezing out urine’. Unless you altered the structure of the characters, you’ll undoubtedly die today. On the Palace Master’s birthday, you’ve been so presumptuous, can anyone present let you off the hook?”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, looking at the ‘Three Lotus Seats’ as their killing intent emerged.
Yang Zhen smiled and stared deeply at the ‘Three Lotus Seats’, waving his hand and said, “The Confucian’s disciples? Haha, open your eyes wide, did I change the structure of the characters?”
Buzz !
In an instant, a wave of inscription energy flashed through heaven and earth, surged wildly, blocking the sun in a blink of an eye. As if in a roaring wind, the eight characters suddenly ignited in an ochre talent flame, causing everyone’s heart to throb, wondering if Yang Zhen was going to destroy the evidence.
Just then, the ‘Three Lotus Seats’ were struck dumb, staring disbelievingly at the eight characters in mid-air.
The characters were still the same, only now they burned passionately, radiating a grand demeanor.
Under such circumstances, almost everyone was moved by this great power within them, their faces changed dramatically.
The Old Palace Master suddenly rose tremblingly, looked at the eight big characters in the mid-air, let out a slight sigh, his unsettled look turned into gratification, and he said loudly, “Bright prospects, forging ahead, good, good, our Spiritual Studies Palace has a broad future ahead, we should stick to our heart, keep moving forward. These words and characters spoken by young Yang really resonate with this old woman’s intentions, only individuals with an open mind, full of this powerful energy, can comprehend the profound meaning within, indeed very rare and truly good…”
Seeing Ning Wuque, who was sitting in the lotus seat, with a changing face that began to doubt, hearing the words of the Old Palace Master, his face shook with shock, he staggered backward three steps, staring at the eight characters in the mid-air, and gritted his teeth said, “This can’t be!”
Whoosh !
The crowd was in an uproar, with everyone looking at each other in surprise.
“So that’s it, I thought so, Yang Dingtian, even if a bit foolish, would never write something as vulgar as catching a toad and squeezing it to make it pee, but ‘bright prospects, forging ahead’.”
“Ha ha ha, oh my goodness, it’s so funny, even though we’re not cultured enough to make out what these words are, we also know that Yang Dingtian wouldn’t be so stupid. He is the successor of the Beigu Institute, incredibly strong and unmatched in talent, but doesn’t he have the most basic common sense?”
“Exactly, these people must be the so-called ‘reading makes one silly’, catching a toad and squeezing it to make it pee, how could Ning Wuque even think of that, haha, I can’t hold back anymore.”
“So it’s ‘bright prospects, forging ahead’, good words, good words!”
A group of people suddenly realized and woke up, all of them cursing Ning
Wuque and the three lotus seats.
Damn it, you’re so talented and unmatched, yet you deceive us like this?
Catching a toad and squeezing it to make it pee, if it weren’t for the Old Palace Master to read these words, everyone present would have been fooled by these
two sanctimonious guys.
If it hadn’t prevented everyone from making a big mistake, they would have loved to catch Ning Wuque and squeeze him into peeing.
The gloomy look on Master Liu’s face completely disappeared, and he looked at Yang Zhen with an expression that couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling looked at each other blankly. Hua Youyue was fine, just lightly laughing. Mo Xueling directly burst out laughing, leaning on Hua Youyue’s shoulder, laughing so hard she couldn’t lift her head, and struggling to say, “I…I knew it, that bastard Yang Zhen must be setting a trap for Ning Wuque to jump into, I…I just didn’t expect, this bastard is so incredibly cheeky!”
Just like Mo Xueling, Hu Tao in the crowd also had her eyes suddenly shining, laughing so hard she bent over and straightened up, the two small walnuts on her chest even swung up a great vibe, making the crowd around her swallowed hard.
Everyone laughed, at Yang Zhen’s shamelessness and Ning Wuque’s ignorance. Almost everyone’s gaze fell on Ning Wuque and the three lotus seats.
The two lost all face today.
At this moment, Ning Wuque suddenly looked furious, pointed at Yang Zhen
and said, “No!”
Everyone was startled, not knowing what Ning Wuque was up to.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ning Wuque was no longer the spirited person he was, he was furiously ashamed, almost insane, staring at Yang Zhen and said, “Just write a few characters, and you think you can surpass my Half Mountain Map, do you think that’s possible, will people accept this result?”
Upon hearing this, everyone paused, nodding their heads with strange expressions.
Although Ning Wuque was a bit shameless, what he said was the truth.
No matter how you look at it, Yang Zhen’s few characters can’t compare to the value of the Half Mountain Map.
Everyone watched Yang Zhen with uncertainty. Even a touch of surprise flashed across the Old Palace Master’s face.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to fall into a dire situation again, Yang Zhen returned to the table, slapped the tabletop hard, and muttered to himself, “Won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin, boy, open your eyes wide, and see clearly!”
Boom– !
Waves of dark gold energy surged to the sky, almost instantly, the heavens and earth darkened, in the mid-air, it seemed as if there were countless stars sparkling in the sky, sparkling, with dazzling light.
Within the surging waves of energy, there was a kind of magnificent, vast power.
“Stellar Talent!”
Someone cried out, unbelievably looking at the incredible scene before their
eyes..
