Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 46: Peaceful Elephant Coming from the Sky
On the Temple Square.

The atmosphere was as hot as fire, as if it was exploding.

When the holy temple sang that there was another man with great literary talent, the students could not believe their ears. When did people with great literary talent become so easy to find?

Too much growth is a genius, too much struggle is a saintly talent.

In the past decades, it was rare to see two saints in pairs.

But now, there are eight people on the Tianxia Wenhua Ranking who have fought. There is also one person who has a talent of two dou and one sheng, and is far ahead of the others.

The faces of students such as Helianshan, Rongtao, and Yuyuan turned even paler.

The literary talents of Yuntian and Xu Ping are so high that it makes people a little despair. How did Guo Dou learn such literary talents?
At this time, even the instructors and teachers were shocked. They did not expect that two saintly talents would pass the exam in succession. This year's spring exam was really unexpected. It seemed as if there had been dozens or hundreds of years of accumulation before, and it burst out all at once.

"Those who are good at fighting will surely become ministers of literature in the future, and even great scholars are not impossible."

Some teachers exclaimed that they were somewhat shocked by the Mikami Academy and the ten major academies.

Taihe Academy, one of the ten major Confucian academies, is one of the academies that can compete with Sanshang Academy.

If Xu Ping and Xu Anzhi.

"The student of Bailu Academy, Wang Xuan, Wang Yuanzhi, has great literary talent."

As soon as the chanting in the holy temple ended, the students were excited again, and yet another person with outstanding literary talent appeared.

This made those famous students extremely desperate.

"Hey, why isn't it on the Wenhua list?"

A student suddenly noticed and asked in surprise.

"Yes, with such a great literary talent, he should be ranked second on the Wenhua list. Why?" Another student explained.

"This Wang Xuan is probably past his twenties."

"The Wenhua List only accepts students under the age of 20."

A student explained.

"Which academy is this Bailu Academy?" Another student asked, "It doesn't seem to be a top three academy. It actually produced a talented person. It's really not simple."

Every student knows clearly about the three major academies and the ten major academies.

However, students may not be able to remember all the academies after the top three, nor is it necessary to remember them. If students were asked to memorize the names of the 81 academies, I'm afraid half of them would not be able to memorize them all.

Although Wang Yuanzhi was over 20 years old, no one dared to look down on him.

Although the academy mainly enrolls students under the age of 20, there are also many students in their early twenties, so Wang Yuanzhi is not too old, probably in his early twenties.

After the top three academies, there were few outstanding literary talents.

It was already dark.

The students in the square became increasingly restless, looking up at the night sky from time to time. No sound had been heard from the holy temple for more than half an hour.

"Is the academy the last place to call for literary talent?" a student asked anxiously.

"Yes."

Some students nodded.

"It's almost midnight now, why isn't it the academy's turn yet?" another student asked, having watched the fun for most of the day and becoming increasingly impatient.

"It should be soon."

Amid the anxiety of the students.

A white elephant came from the horizon across the night sky, and it seemed that every step it took made a "boom" sound. It grew bigger and bigger, its body as white as jade, emitting a soft white light in the night, and walked step by step to the top of the head.

"Taiping Elephant!"

Some students pointed at the Taiping Elephant and shouted excitedly.

At this time, everyone looked up, and Feng Qingyan also looked at it curiously. Although the white elephant looked lifelike and roared to the sky from time to time, it was not a real white elephant.

"The Taiping elephant is coming, the Taiping elephant is coming."

The people outside the academy stared with wide eyes, looking on with great curiosity.

"This is the Taiping Elephant..."

"Amazing."

Some people are disappointed, while others are satisfied, with the famous Taiping Elephant.

At this time, the Taiping Elephant came to the sky above the holy temple, and after letting out a long roar towards the sky, a long white jade staircase came out of its mouth, connecting to the square of the holy temple.

"There are signs of peace, and it can be called literary talent!"

An old man's voice seemed to come from the sky, "All students just need to walk up the white jade stairs." "Which student will start first?"

The great instructor Baili Kun stood in front of the white jade stairs and spoke to the students in front of him.

The students in the front looked at each other, and then one of them stepped forward, bowed to the head teacher and said, "Students come first."

"good."

The great teacher nodded and said, "The higher the stairs you climb, the higher your literary talent will be. You should strive to move forward."

“Students understand.”

The student said, and walked towards the white jade stairs.

At this time, all the students stretched their necks to look, and saw that as soon as the student stepped onto the white jade stairs, rolls of books suddenly appeared above his head.

The higher you go, the more books will appear.

But after the student walked up a flight of stairs, he could not go any higher no matter how hard he tried.

At this time, the white elephant rolled up its long trunk and rolled the books that appeared above the students' heads into its mouth.

After a few breaths, the old man's voice appeared again: "Literary talent nine combined."

"There are actually nine combinations?"

Some students were amazed.

However, the student who was known for his literary talent was somewhat disappointed.

Because one needs to pass one level of examination to be able to enter the academy, and he failed all the examinations in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The great teacher Baili Kun hesitated for a moment and said to the student who came down: "You can be admitted to the academy."

Because the number of students who passed the exam in three days was really small, we had to relax a little and allow the top nine students to enter the academy.

In fact, students under the age of 20 who have the talent of Jiuhe are also considered to be talented.

"Thank you, Grand Master."

The student was extremely surprised and saluted excitedly.

The students were stunned when they saw this, and many of them became excited.

Students walked up the white jade stairs one after another, but only three or five of them were considered talented, and no one had yet been promoted.

At this time, many students' eyes fell on Mu Yu, Yan Shan, Rong Tao and other students, and even the instructor was a little expectant.

Most students call themselves literary talents just to join in the fun.

After a while, there were fewer students who wanted to claim to be talented writers.

"Yanshan."

The chief instructor couldn't help but shout when he saw Yan Shan hiding behind the students again.

The students made way for them, and Yan Shan saw another bitter look on his face. Under the gaze of the great instructor, he had no choice but to walk forward.

As he walked up the white jade stairs, volumes of books appeared above his head.

After a moment, it turned into a mountain of books, leaving the students in the square stunned. There were so many books that appeared.

Moreover, Yanshan continued to move upwards.

The mountain of books above my head is getting bigger and bigger.

Students like Mu Yu, Yu Yuan, Mei Lan, etc. looked at Yan Shan in shock, but when they thought of Yan Shan's reputation as a standing bookcase, it didn't seem strange...

After a while, Yan Shan finally couldn't walk anymore.

However, a huge mountain of books had appeared above his head, and even the teacher was shocked and seemed a little excited.

"Zi Zhong never lets me down." The great teacher could not help but praise.

At this time, the white elephant rolled up its long trunk and swallowed the mountain of books into its stomach, unexpectedly making the white elephant, which was only three meters long, become a little bigger.

"Literary talent is as good as a bushel."

As soon as the old man's words came out, there was a commotion in the square, and another literary talent appeared to win the fight.

Feng Qingyan was also a little surprised when he heard it.
