Chapter 681 Two Major Events, the Battle of a Hundred Schools of Thought Begins
For the next period of time, Bai Ye and Zhong Chang followed Yan Zheng and learned the character formulas, and Yan Zheng taught them without reservation.
Although Zhong Chang had studied various character formulas, he was not proficient in most of them. Now that he got Yan Zheng's guidance, he suddenly felt like he had seen the moon after the clouds and mist were cleared. Bai Ye's understanding of the way of calligraphy was already quite profound, and his understanding of the character formulas was also quite unique. The two of them verified each other, learned from each other, and learned from each other.
Ci Song and Mo Yao, the couple, have been studying the use of the Tongxin Ring. According to the records on the paper, if a man and a woman each hold a Tongxin Ring, if the two want to exert the power of the Tongxin Ring, they need to practice a special set of exercises. After the practice is successful, the two will be in tune with each other, and they can use the Tongxin Ring to attract the talents of heaven and earth and exert powerful combat power.
As for the set of exercises, it can only be understood, not explained.
In this way, Ci Song spent most of his time practicing in the room during this period, and he didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
During this period, major events did happen in the outside world. For example, after the Tianguan students entered Tianwaitian, they clashed with the Tianwaitian students. A large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides. During this period, the Xianshi Hall also came forward to mediate, but neither side could give in, so they selected 30 students each to fight a life-and-death battle.
The Tianwaitian students relied on their own literary realm being one level higher than the Tianguan students, and subconsciously thought that they had a greater chance of winning this life-and-death battle. However, after the two sides fought, the Tianwaitian students just found out that they were wrong, and they were very wrong.
Although the Tianguan students were at a lower level in literary realm, they had extremely rich combat experience and cooperated well. Everyone could exert combat power far beyond their own realm. On the other hand, the Tianwaitian students, although their realm was high, had very little combat experience. They fought on their own and soon fell into a disadvantage in less than half a minute.
Maybe they were really angry. The Tianguan students showed no mercy when they attacked. Every move was fatal. In the end, the Tianguan students easily killed thirty Tianwaitian students without any serious injuries.
This incident also refreshed the understanding of the Tianwaitian students about the secular world students. Although most of them had heard from their families that those students who grew up in Tianguan would be sent to the Tianguan battlefield for training as long as they entered the ink, they had been stained with the blood of foreigners since childhood.
They originally thought that their families were just exaggerating. Tianguan students are also human beings, and they are also human beings. Everyone also studies literature and Taoism and comprehends the thoughts of the sages. They, the Tianwaitian students, are all descendants of saints, with noble bloodlines, and enjoy the best resources of the entire Tianwaitian. Even if the scattered Tianguan students are strong, how strong can they be?
But after this life-and-death battle, the students of Tianwaitian realized that their families had not lied to them. Once the students of Tianguan started killing, it was as easy as drinking water and eating. Those people did not look like students at all, but more like soldiers, soldiers who killed without blinking an eye.
After this incident, the students of Tianwaitian also became completely honest, and never dared to trouble the students of Tianguan again, for fear of provoking those evil stars again and losing their lives.
In addition to this incident, another major event happened.
The Zeng family of Tianwaitian announced that after the battle of a hundred schools of thought, Zeng Xiangteng, a student of Zengsheng Academy in the secular world, would be returned to the Zeng family, and announced that Zeng Xiangteng would have the qualifications to compete for the position of the head of the family like other students of the family.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
You know, accepting a student from the secular world into the family is already considered breaking the rules. What is even more unacceptable is that the Zeng family actually allows a student from the secular world to have the qualifications to compete for the position of the head of the family, just like other students from the family.
You know, even in Tianwai Tian, many direct descendants of Zeng Sheng who have not been included in the family do not have such qualifications, let alone a student from the secular world.
You know, the Zeng family has a high status in Tianwai Tian. The current head of the Zeng family broke through to the semi-saint realm at the age of 108. Now he is only over 300 years old and is at his peak. Therefore, he has a very high voice in the Hall of the First Master.
This decision of the Zeng family is enough to show how terrifying the talent of this secular student named "Zeng Xiangteng" is, and he can even make the Zeng family break the rules for him.
In a moment, the name Zeng Xiangteng surpassed the previous Ci Song, Bai Ye and others in Tianwai Tian. Many scholars in Tianwai Tian wanted to see whether Zeng Xiangteng had three heads and six arms to be so favored by the Zeng family.
In a blink of an eye, it was March 1st, the day when the Hundred Schools of Thought began. All the students of Yansheng Academy gathered in the square of the temporary residence.
Yan Zheng stood at the front, looking at the 52 students below, and slowly said: "Today is the day when the Hundred Schools of Thought began. I won't say anything extra. You are all students from the secular world and students of my Yansheng Academy. No matter what hatred you have, at this moment, I hope you can put aside your prejudices and unite to face the outside world. Don't let those self-proclaimed noble people in Tianwai Tian look down on us."
"Each of you is the pride of my Yansheng Academy."
"We understand." The students responded in unison.
"Let's go."
After saying that, Yan Zheng led everyone to the Sage Square in Yuncheng. When the students of Yansheng Academy arrived at the square, the students of Zilu Academy and Zigong Academy were already waiting in the square.
Four middle-aged men in luxurious Confucian robes stood in the center of the square. They were the semi-saints of the First Master Hall who led everyone to Lingyun Pavilion.
Yan Zheng led everyone to find an open space and asked everyone to wait there. He went to the center to talk with the semi-saints of the First Master Hall.
Not long after Yan Zheng left, a figure appeared in front of the students of Yansheng Academy.
"Why, you are addicted to Yansheng Academy and decided to quit Zilu Academy, right?"
The figure was wearing a blue dress with golden silk embroidered on his chest. The pattern embroidered with the golden silk was a carp. He was none other than the dean of Zilu Academy, Zhong Bo, Zhong Chang's father.
"Father, I don't mean that."
Zhong Chang walked out from the many students and bowed to Zhong Bo.
"Hmph, you didn't mean that? The battle of the Hundred Schools of Thought has already begun. You didn't follow me to the gathering place of Zilu Academy, but came to Yansheng Academy instead. Do you still have me, your father, and Zilu Academy in your eyes?"
Zhong Bo looked at Zhong Chang. Although his face was calm, his tone was full of anger.
Zhong Chang did not make any other moves, but knelt on the ground in front of everyone: "Please punish me, father."
