Book Battles Are All About Copying

"A book-writing contest?" Ma Feifei frowned. This was the first time he had ever heard of this kind of competition. However, judging from the literal meaning, the so-called "book-writing contest" should be related to writing books.

The young man just made it very clear that he is a book author, and in the Azure Dragon Continent, Ma Feifei knows of only one book author, and that is Zhang Ke, a first-grade book author.

Since they are authors, the so-called "book battle" is naturally self-evident; nine times out of ten, the winner is determined through the act of writing books.

It sounds quite sophisticated, but writing a book, especially a high-quality one, takes a very long time. And since we're not in Bookstore, it's questionable whether Ma Feifei's book will even reach a certain quality, which puts him in a bit of an awkward position.

However, when you're out in the world and encounter someone who's being difficult, the most important thing is courage. So what if you're writing a book? Laozi running a Bookstore for over a year, and I don't believe I can't even take down a native from another world like you.

What, you think you're Liu Xiu, the chosen one of this world?

Even if he were, so what? Ma Feifei isn't Wang Mang.

"Although I don't know how a writer like you came to exist in this low-level plane, that's not important. As long as you beat me, I won't care about your existence in this world. If you lose, you'll leave here obediently, how about that?" The young man always had a gentle and pleasant demeanor, making it difficult for anyone to feel any ill will towards him.

Ma Feifei didn't answer him directly. Instead, she subconsciously turned her head to look around. It seemed that they hadn't heard her words. They were all still looking at Ma Feifei and the young man with expectant expressions, anticipating their duel.

Authors, book-writing contests.

A mysterious young man is about to challenge the owner of Mysterious Bookstore.

This is something that everyone should learn more about. Throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent, no one has ever heard of such a duel method or such a profession.

Moreover, whether it's the mysterious young man or the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, they are both exceptionally mysterious figures in the Azure Dragon Continent, as if they suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In particular, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, Ma Feifei, has a Bookstore that possesses various magical effects, allowing cultivators to gain various benefits from reading.

This completely overturned everyone's expectations.

"Quality determines victory or defeat?" Ma Feifei looked at the young man on the stage, his face also full of seriousness. He didn't know how good this so-called first-class author was at writing books. What if he started with Yellow Quality books? Then this competition would be in serious trouble.

"Of course!" The young man smiled slightly, waved his folding fan, and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he wanted to invite Ma Feifei to the stage to begin the competition.

Ma Feifei glanced at the young man, nodded slightly, and strode towards the arena.

Yun Qingyang naturally followed behind.

Luan Feng thought for a moment and then followed.

Ba Jiu, Zhang Caicai, and Lian Yi remained standing, watching the three of them walk onto the arena and stand on another empty table.

"To ensure fairness, the brush, ink, and paper used in this calligraphy competition will be identical. Rest assured, I, Zhang Ke, never use external forces to gain an advantage." Zhang Ke pointed to the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on his table, indicating that Ma Feifei could send someone over to check.

Ma Feifei was not polite at all. He gave Luan Feng a wink, and Luan Feng nodded and ran over to check the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on Zhang Ke's desk before returning to nod to Ma Feifei.

It wasn't that Ma Feifei lacked confidence; it was mainly because after the conversation at the Vast Academy and Wan Jianshan, he realized that seemingly useless materials like paper, ink, and pen were actually the foundation for determining whether a book could be of high quality.

Don't underestimate this quality. If both of them only produce Yellow Quality books, and the other person uses better paper and ink than Ma Feifei, then their quality will definitely be higher than Ma Feifei's.

"In that case, let's begin." Zhang Ke put away his folding fan, straightened his clothes, and a wisp of white mist began to swirl around him.

The maid beside him bowed her head and stepped forward to begin grinding ink for him.

Looking at Zhang Ke's pretentious demeanor, Ma Feifei's mood also became heavy. Although their duel was rather artistic, it put a lot of pressure on Ma Feifei. Ma Feifei even wondered to himself, if he lost the "book duel," would his opponent then be able to do whatever he wanted to him?

Even if a book battle is just a form of duel, and the loser can't do anything to the opponent, there are important figures watching from below the stage. If the book battle is lost to Zhang Ke, it will have a significant impact on the Mysterious Bookstore.

From now on, at least the Mysterious Bookstore will no longer be the most powerful force on the continent.

Even Bookstore may be affected to some extent.

Therefore, no matter what, Ma Feifei cannot allow herself to lose this calligraphy contest.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei let out a deep breath.

"Shopkeeper, Luan Feng is grinding ink for you." A voice came from beside him, Luan Feng stepped forward to begin grinding ink for Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei didn't speak, but glanced at the inkstone. Inside the inkstone was a mass of white, solid Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, not black ink.

This kind of technique of condensing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy can generally be done by cultivators who have reached the Spirit Saint realm or above. The condensed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy can be used for many purposes, such as creating powerful arrays and using it as the array eye. However, using it as ink is a first for me.

Even Ma Feifei used the spiritual energy contained within Spirit Crystal as ink to create books.

Under the manipulation of the Luan Feng, the solid Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy gradually emitted wisps of gaseous spiritual energy, which slowly drifted into the writing brush lying on the brush holder.

Ma Feifei took a deep breath, picked up the calligraphy brush, and stared intently at the yellowed paper on the table.

What to write? That's the most crucial question.

Original content is definitely not an option. Putting aside the final quality, the risk factor is very high just for this one aspect.

Well, not very high, extremely high. Original content? In this lifetime, I can only write Human Book and the like; it's not something that can be presented to the public.

The best way is to copy a book; only by copying books can you survive in this world.

But which book to copy is the problem.

"Let's check the quality of these books in the System Shop first." Just to be on the safe side, Ma Feifei decided to check the System Shop first. After all, having a reference point meant that the difference between his own writing and the books wouldn't be too great.

"I wonder what kind of books they can actually write." Ma Feifei flipped through the dazzling array of books, somewhat uncertain.
