The air was thick with Spiritual Qi!
A piece of paper rustled fiercely amidst the fluctuations of Literary Talent Qi, its eight large characters shining brightly.
The characters are beautiful; the strokes are like dragons, strong and powerful, like steel and iron.
But everyone present was completely dumbfounded, staring at Yang Zhen with horrified expressions.
"This... this Yang Dingtian is far too audacious! How dare he write such vulgar words on the old palace master's birthday celebration."
"It's over, Yang Dingtian is finished!"
"Two spirit maidens are both favoring him, and both Palace Master Liu and the old Palace Master value him highly. If Yang Dingtian goes along with their wishes, he might be exceptionally admitted to the Spirit Learning Palace, where his potential will be limitless. But..."
"But he actually brought this upon himself. With those words uttered in front of everyone, who can save him?"
"Who can save him?" Everyone shook their heads in regret. "In this situation, even the old palace master might be furious, let alone Palace Master Liu. The entire Spirit Learning Palace will be offended by those eight words from Yang Zhen. Even if two spirit maidens are favored by him at the same time, can they possibly save Yang Zhen's face under such circumstances?"
"Gentlemen, I am not well-educated, but do these eight characters truly mean 'catch a toad and squeeze out its piss'?"
"Well... who knows!"
Ning Wuque laughed heartily, looking thoroughly satisfied, as if he had finally vented his anger. He stared coldly at Yang Zhen, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat, filled with horror and dread.
By writing these eight characters, Ning Wuque seized the opportunity to kill Yang Zhen in one fell swoop, leaving Palace Master Liu and the old Palace Master speechless.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with some worry, the person they had caused to die!
Hu Tao was completely stunned, slumped onto the stool, and stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling exchanged a glance, both seeing the suspicion and worry in each other's eyes.
The Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken exchanged a glance and cackled, "Catch a toad, squeeze out its pee, damn, kid, you're something else! You dare to play this game?"
"Oh no!" Flirtatious Chicken concluded in a serious tone.
The entire birthday celebration gradually fell silent, with only the eight large characters resounding loudly in the air.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yang Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, glanced sideways at Ning Wuque, turned to the Third Lotus Seat, and said with a playful expression, " Third Lotus Seat, do you recognize these eight characters?"
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Could it be that these eight characters, instead of "catch a toad, squeeze out its urine," contain some hidden meaning?
Everyone craned their necks, widened their eyes, and stared intently at the eight characters in mid-air.
Ning Wuque's expression changed, but he quickly relaxed and sneered at Yang Zhen.
Although these eight characters resembled wild cursive script and were extremely difficult to decipher, Ning Wuque been well-versed in various books and artifacts since childhood, possessing an intimate knowledge of all kinds of characters and patterns. Now, as a powerful expert who had stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, how could he possibly misread even a few characters?
Third Lotus Seat and Ning Wuque a glance, then said in a deep voice, " Yang Dingtian, no matter how you try to argue, these eight words are none other than 'catch a toad and squeeze out its piss.' Unless you change the structure of the words, you will surely die today. How can the people present let you off so easily after your insolence at the old palace master's birthday celebration?"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the murderous intent emanating from the Third Lotus Seat, and they all trembled.
Yang Zhen smiled, gave the Third Lotus Seat a deep look, and casually waved his hand, saying, "The Master's successor? Heh, open your eyes wide and see if I've changed the structure of the characters?"
Buzz--!
Suddenly, a wisp of Literary Qi flashed across the sky, rising to the heavens and instantly becoming so dense that it blotted out the sun, like a howling wind. On the eight large characters, dark golden flames of Literary Talent Qi suddenly ignited, making everyone's hearts pound with fear, thinking that Yang Zhen was about to destroy the evidence.
At that moment, the Third Lotus Seat suddenly trembled violently, staring in disbelief at the eight large characters in mid-air.
The characters are still the same, but now they burn fiercely like fire, exuding a righteous and noble spirit.
Under such circumstances, almost everyone was moved by this overwhelming power, their own righteous energy surged, and their expressions changed drastically.
The old palace master suddenly stood up shakily, looking at the eight large characters in mid-air. She let out a soft "hmm," and the uncertain expression on her face turned into satisfaction. She said loudly, "A bright future awaits, carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future. Excellent, excellent! Our Spirit Learning Palace has a limitless future, and we must adhere to our original intentions and carry on the past and forge ahead into the future. Young friend Yang's words and calligraphy deeply resonate with this old woman. Only a person with a broad mind and a righteous spirit can understand the profound meaning within. It is indeed rare. Truly excellent..."
Seeing the drastic change in the expression of the Third Lotus Seat and the growing suspicion in Ning Wuque, he was utterly shocked upon hearing the old palace master's words. He staggered back three steps, staring intently at the eight characters in mid-air, and gritted his teeth, saying, "This is impossible!"
Whoa--!
The crowd gasped in astonishment, exchanging bewildered glances as everyone was shocked.
"So that's how it is. I knew it. Even if Yang Dingtian were stupid, he wouldn't write such vulgar words as 'catch a toad and squeeze out its piss.' It turns out it means 'a bright future and carrying on the past.'"
"Hahaha, oh my god, this is hilarious! Although we are too ignorant to recognize these characters, we know Yang Dingtian would never be so stupid. A successor of the North Maiden Academy, huh? Powerful cultivation and unparalleled talent, yet he lacks even the most basic common sense."
"Who says otherwise? These people are the legendary 'bookworms' who've gone stupid. They even managed to squeeze pee out of a toad. Ning Wuque think of that? Hahaha, oh dear, I can't hold it in anymore."
"So it means 'a bright future and carrying on the past to create a better tomorrow'—what beautiful words!"
The group of people suddenly realized what was happening and simultaneously woke up to the truth, and they all angrily cursed Ning Wuque and the Third Lotus Seat.
Damn it, you guys are so talented, unmatched by anyone, and you're just trying to fool us like this?
They even caught a toad and squeezed out its urine. If the old palace master hadn't seen through the words, everyone present would have been fooled by these two hypocritical fellows.
If they hadn't yet caused any major mistakes, they would have loved to grab Ning Wuque and squeeze him until he urinated.
The gloom on Palace Master Liu's face completely disappeared, and she looked at Yang Zhen with a wry smile.
Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling stared at each other blankly. Hua Youyue was alright, only letting out a soft chuckle, but Mo Xueling burst out laughing, leaning on Hua Youyue's shoulder, laughing so hard she couldn't lift her head. She said with difficulty, "I... I knew it! That bastard Yang Zhen must have dug another trap for Ning Wuque to fall into, but... I just didn't expect that bastard to be so refreshingly shameless!"
Like Mo Xueling, Hu Tao in the crowd also suddenly lit up her eyes and laughed so hard that she bent over backwards. The two little Hu Tao on her chest were actually swinging around in a magnificent way, making the people around her swallow hard.
Everyone was laughing, laughing at Yang Zhen's outrageous Heavenbreaker and Ning Wuque's ignorance. Almost everyone's eyes were on Ning Wuque Third Lotus Seat.
Both of them have completely lost face today.
At this moment, Ning Wuque suddenly became fierce but weak-willed, pointing at Yang Zhen and saying, "That's not right!"
Everyone was startled, wondering what Ning Wuque was going to do next.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ning Wuque his former smugness. Enraged and practically maniacal, he glared at Yang Zhen and said, "You think you can surpass my ' Half-Mountain Painting ' just by writing a few words? Do you think that's possible? Do you think everyone will accept this result?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and nodded with strange expressions.
Although Ning Wuque was somewhat shameless, what he said was true.
No matter how you look at it, the name Yang Zhen is not as valuable as the Half-Mountain Painting.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty, even the old palace master's face showed a hint of surprise.
Seeing that Yang Zhen was about to fall into a desperate situation again, Yang Zhen returned to the table, slammed his hands heavily on the table, and muttered to himself, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin, kid, open your eyes wide and see clearly!"
boom--!
Waves of dark golden energy surged into the sky, and in almost an instant, the world was completely darkened. In mid-air, it was as if thousands of stars in the sky were shining brightly, their light dazzling the world.
Amidst the surging and turbulent air currents, a vast and majestic aura permeated the scene.
" Star Literary Talent Qi!"
Someone shouted, staring incredulously at the unbelievable scene before them.
