The War Between Two States

Ma Feifei pursed his lips and said, "Why did Zhang Ke run so fast just now? Turns out there's something wrong with that."

According to the rules of a writing contest between authors, the loser must give the winner the book they wrote during the contest as compensation.

These are the rules of book-writing contests, which all authors must abide by.

Therefore, since Zhang Ke lost the calligraphy contest with Ma Feifei, the Yellow Quality book he wrote should be given to Ma Feifei as a trophy.

However, Zhang Ke didn't. Taking advantage of Ma Feifei's ignorance of the rules, he didn't take the initiative and planned to just slip away.

If Liuli hadn't appeared in time and explained the rules to Ma Feifei, Ma Feifei might have actually been fooled by Zhang Ke.

"Shan Zhu." Zhang Ke sighed. It would have been fine if Ma Feifei hadn't known this rule, but now that he did, as the author, he had to abide by the rules of the book battle. Of course, he could choose not to, but in that case, the Book God would strip him of his ability to perceive the Book Spirit.

Once the ability to sense the Book Spirit is lost, the so-called author becomes a joke.

"Yes, young master." Shan Zhu slightly squatted down and bowed, holding the Yellow Quality book in both hands as she slowly walked to Ma Feifei's side, bowed deeply, and presented it with her hands clasped.

"Hehe, Father, you're amazing." Liuli came to Ma Feifei's side, took the Yellow Quality book from Shan Zhu's hand, and praised Ma Feifei with great satisfaction.

Ma Feifei's smug little eyes narrowed. He never expected that writing a book would earn him the equivalent of earning another book. It was like buying one and getting one free, a complete win-win situation!

"Sir, we'll meet again sometime!" Zhang Ke felt a pang of regret that the other party had taken his book. He uttered a harsh remark and hurriedly left, wanting to avoid seeing it again.

"Take care, brother! Welcome back next time!" Ma Feifei waved to Zhang Ke's back, his smile unchanged.

"Oh! Refined people are so different, unlike those vulgar ones who only know how to settle things with fists."

Ma Feifei took the Yellow Quality book from Liuli's hand, intending to see what it was about, but as soon as he touched the book, a series of golden lights pierced out from it, and finally, to Ma Feifei's astonishment, they transformed into a beam of light and entered his body.

"Boom!"

Ma Feifei felt a surge of energy flowing into his body, which filled him and continuously improved his cultivation level.

He progressed from the Spirit Saint First Stage realm, directly reaching the Spirit Saint Third Stage realm.

Not only that, all the contents of the book were displayed in Ma Feifei's mind, and he learned all the techniques and martial arts skills in it to a perfect degree.

These are all benefits gained from absorbing the Book Spirit Yellow Quality books.

"Great! This book battle was definitely worth it." Ma Feifei patted his belly happily, he couldn't be happier. This trip to the Great Wilderness not only cleared the Great Desolation Relic, but also defeated Zhang Ke, a first-class author who appeared out of nowhere, and even obtained the book he wrote. It was a great harvest.

"Let's go back." Ma Feifei walked off the stage with his hands behind his back, followed by Yun Qingyang and the others.

The journey through the Great Wilderness thus came to a perfect end. The cultivators who were watching witnessed once again the power of the magical book and a new way of fighting.

Before long, it is believed that this kind of "book battle" competition will soon spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent. As for whether it will become popular, that remains to be seen.

In late October of the 351st year of the Great Chu Dynasty, Ma Feifei and his group returned to the Mysterious Bookstore. On that very day, a large-scale battle broke out between the Qin and Yan states at Changping on the border of the Yan State.

Qin and Yan each commanded an army of 500,000, with tens of thousands of Spirit King participating, thousands of Spirit Venerables, hundreds of Spirit Emperors, and even dozens of Spirit Saints.

This great battle lasted for seven days and seven nights, causing the earth to shake and the Huai River to collapse. The casualties were heavy and the battle stretched for hundreds of miles.

The news shocked the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

It should be noted that since the establishment of the five states, there has never been such a large-scale war between the states. In fact, at the beginning, the onlookers of the states, including the Yan State, believed that Qin State was just trying to scare the other side in order to gain more benefits for Qin State.

However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Shi Huang was so decisive that he directly ordered an attack on the Yan State, showing that he would not withdraw his troops until the Yan State was destroyed.

However, with the help of the Northern Liang nomads, the Yan State was capable of fighting the Qin State. In the end, they fought with fierce determination and refused to back down, which led to the seven-day and seven-night battle.

On the walls of Changping City the Yan State, Crown Prince Yan, clad in full armor with blood smeared on his face, stared solemnly into the distance.

There, black, red, and white dominated the entire sky and earth; those were the soldiers of the Qin State, Yan State, and Northern Liang armies, their chariots and carts covering the ground in a crimson hue, their blood surging through the air.

The ravaged army, their armor shattered, lay dead across the field.

"Qin Shi Huang has really gone mad." Yan Xun stood next to Crown Prince Yan, his face also full of heaviness. He was somewhat terrified by this battle.

"What should we do now? If we continue fighting like this, more taxi drivers will die in this war." Crown Prince Yan sighed, his tone somewhat desolate.

"Then what do you want?" Yan Xun asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Yan hesitated for a moment, but remained silent.

"Ha, coward," Yan Xun sneered.

"How am I a coward?" Crown Prince Yan retorted defiantly.

Yan Xun shook his head, pointed to the vast battlefield before him, and said calmly, "You feel afraid because so many people have died, and you don't want to fight anymore. You feel sorry for them. But have you considered what will happen once the Qin Army enters Changping City?"

"The Qin Army is known for its strict discipline, Qin Shi Huang is a man of great talent and ambition; he would never do something so heinous," Crown Prince Yan said softly, clearly lacking confidence himself.

Yan Xun sneered, shook his head, and didn't bother arguing with Crown Prince Yan Duo. He looked at the vast black army stretching a hundred miles away and said in a low voice, "We have no way out. Put away your immature ideas. If you're afraid, then give me the throne and let me Protect the legacy left by our ancestors."

Crown Prince Yan remained silent, looking at the tragic scene before him with a sorrowful expression.

"Perhaps I am truly unsuitable to be the ruler of a nation," Crown Prince Yan said dejectedly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xun was secretly delighted. He remained silent, but his eyes shone brightly as he awaited what Crown Prince Yan would say next.

"If..." Crown Prince Yan had just finished speaking when Dafeng blew by, and the two of them turned to look.

The clouds churned, dispersing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and a figure sped towards them.

"Is Crown Prince Yan here? The Investiture of the Gods requests his presence!"
