On the square of the Imperial City.
Because of Wang De's announcement, the audience had already become an ocean of joy.
Li Mo's poem was announced as the advantage.
After the six local elites admitted defeat, they left the high platform dejectedly.
"Congratulations to the champion!"
"Congratulations to the champion!"
"Congratulations to the champion!"
The enthusiastic cheers lasted for a long time.
After the six scholars were defeated.
Out of the ten platforms, only four were occupied.
Li Mo, Dieluozhi, Zhangsun Chong, and Fang Yiai.
Zhangsun Wuji stood up once again and walked to the edge of the city wall, standing solemnly.
This time, there was no need for the yamen to maintain order. The commoners quieted down at the same time.
The scene was silent again.
"Next, the second round of the theory examination, pair up!”
"The four of you will take turns to form the first half of the couplet, and then choose someone to match the second half.”
"If the first half of the couplet is matched by the next player, one point will be deducted. If the next player matches it within ten breaths, two points will be added.”
"In order to prevent others from saying that our Great Tang bullies outsiders, we will start with Dieluo's couplet!”
Zhangsun Wuji loudly announced the rules of the competition.
Below the stage, the atmosphere became lively again.
The commoners were eagerly waiting for Li Mo to shine again.
In the VIP seats, the guests with basic knowledge were shocked by this method of answering questions.
At the same time, he was extremely excited!
In such a competition, no matter how talented you were, you would still be able to win.
Without sufficient reaction speed and quick wits, he would die!
One could imagine how intense the battle would be later!
Just as the VIP seats were still sighing at the cruelty of the competition system,
Die Luozhi read out his couplet,"Looking at the river from the Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river from below the Wangjiang Tower, the river tower will last forever, the river will last forever!”
Then, he looked at Li Mo provocatively.""This King chooses Li Mo to answer!"
Everyone in the VIP seats gasped when they heard the first half of the couplet!
This couplet was not only long, but also complicated.
Moreover, if he wanted to answer first, he would still be stunned for a while.
If his mentality was a little unstable, he might not be able to answer!
Thump!
The gong and drum sounded.
Clearly, the timer had started.
"Moon Seal Well, Moon Seal, Moon Seal in Moon Seal Well, Moon Seal for ten thousand years, Moon Seal for ten thousand years!”
Li Mo sneered and answered on the spot!
He even mocked,"Silly bird, it's for three-year-olds to play with. Can you not take it out and embarrass yourself?"”
Die Luozhi widened his eyes in disbelief.
This was the most difficult couplet he had come up with based on his knowledge.
Li Mo answered instantly!
The audience exploded.
" Alright, the champion is mighty!"
"Champion Marquis is skilled in both martial arts and martial arts, number one in the world!”
The commoners below the stage immediately roared.
The VIP seats fell silent again.
The second-generation civil officials and the young literary elites of the Great Tang sitting in the VIP seats pondered for a long time before they were shocked.
"Good, the champion has completely understood the meaning of the first half.”
"That's right, the second half of the couplet is not only perfect, but he also answered immediately!”
"Champion Marquis is a great talent, he's really a role model for our generation!”
The crowd was filled with admiration.
Li Mo chuckled.
"Li Mo, add two points. It's your turn to play the couplet!”
"One point will be deducted from Dieluo Zhi!"
Zhangsun Wuji announced that Li Mo had won first place.
"You!"
Dieluo Zhi was instantly enraged.
Li Mo was now leading by six points.
Die Luozhi, who was originally in second place, was now tied with Fang Yi 'ai in third place after one point was deducted.
Zhangsun Chong, on the other hand, won the second place while lying down.
This made Die Luozhi fly into a rage out of humiliation.
Below the stage, hundreds of thousands of people cheered.
Li Mo suddenly said," I'll come up with the questions. You guys can come up with them together. Don't waste time."”
"Whoosh…"
There was an uproar below the stage.
Crazy!
He was simply too arrogant!
"Marquis Champion, I know you're skilled in martial arts, but aren't you a little too proud?”Zhangsun Chong said angrily.
Zhangsun Wuji also said angrily," If all three of them get it right, you'll be eliminated. Do you dare?"”
Li Mo smiled faintly." If they can't answer, they'll be eliminated together. How about that?"”
"Hmph, if you want to die, how can I not fulfill your wish!”
Zhangsun Wuji said angrily,"Go ahead!"”
Li Mo sneered and said slowly,""Smoke locks the willows in the pond. Yes, go!"
This Smoke Lock Pond Willow was a super difficult pair left behind in history.
The Internet of the future could not be solved even with the wisdom of more than a billion people.
A few natives from a thousand years ago wanted to solve it? It was superfluous!
"Hiss…"
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes widened.
On the high platform, Li Shi Min stood up in shock after pondering for a while.
For this couplet, not only did it have to match the artistic conception, but it also had to match the vocabulary.
Even the freaking division leader had to have five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!
"This…"
Xue Shou, the Grand Scholar who represented the top level of the Great Tang's national studies, exclaimed," It's actually the Five Elements Absolute!"
"Whoosh…"
Seeing Xue Shou's loss of composure, the VIP seats were also in an uproar.
Absolute, which meant that even Xue Shou couldn't match it!
Instantly, everyone's jaws dropped!
"Hey, Lord Zhangsun, ten breaths is already several times over, right?”
Li Mo rubbed his ears and said impatiently.
" Li…Li Mo…wins. The other three will be eliminated…"
Zhangsun Wuji was so shocked that he could not even speak properly.
Below the stage, there were even whispers.
Anyone who could read was racking their brains.
In fact…he was caught in a huge dilemma!
