Kong Chengyun smiled proudly and said: "It is indeed remarkable that Mr. Ye Jinghong can carve his name on the nine-foot-tall sword test monument. I, Kong Chengyun, also admire it, but I, a scholar of the Kong family, can't place his name on the sword test monument."
The name that remains is higher than his."
After finishing speaking, he held his head high and looked at the students from all countries present almost with contempt, with a very confident smile on his face.
Scholars from all over the world also looked with admiration at the names of the Kong family engraved on the sword test stele. It would be an honor to have one's name clearly engraved on the sword test stele, which is more than nine feet high.

The sword test stele ten feet high is blank, and no one has yet carved a name on it.
The entire Sword Test Monument is like a small mountain peak. The blank area at the tenth foot high is not large, but it is the strongest place of the Sword Test Monument.
With the cultivation level of a Confucian and Taoist scholar, it is difficult to completely carve his name in that blank area. He can only leave a few incomplete sword marks.
Many people have tried to carve their names on the tenth foot area, but they have all failed.
Du Ning could see that there was also the word "叶" on it, and next to the word "叶" there was the radical of the word "Jing". Ye Jinghong must have tried it before, but he could only carve half of it. p>
If you want to engrave words on the ten-foot-long sword test stele, you must not only have the scholar's Wen Gong ancient sword be sharp enough, but also have enough talent and strength, otherwise this very embarrassing situation will occur.
"Master Du's talent is far beyond ordinary people. Maybe he can try carving his name on a height of ten feet and break the record of the Holy Academy again." A Ke family member said with a gloomy face.
"It's a joke. Even I, a student of the Confucius family, has never carved his name on the top of the sword test stele. Who is Du Ning? He deserves to have his name carved on the sword test stele that is ten feet tall? Ridiculous!" A Confucian student sneered.
Make a sound.
"Even if Mr. Du has difficulty leaving his name on the ten-foot sword test monument, his cultivation will definitely be among the best. We must be careful." The Ke family student said fiercely.
Kong Chengyun said proudly: "Du Ning has just become a Jinshi not long ago. How can his Wen Gong ancient sword be compared with ours? In terms of talent, we can't compare with him, but the power of Wen Gong ancient sword is better than mine.
Double!"
"Well said!" Confucius students shouted one after another, very confident.
The students from the Confucius family and the students from the Ke family sang in harmony, and the words they said made the Yun students feel very unpleasant, but they were quite reasonable.
Du Ning looked at the blank space ten feet high, with a burning light flashing in his eyes. He also longed in his heart to carve his name on the highest sword test monument. That would be an unprecedented feat that would be unprecedented. p>
Although Du Ning had just become a Jinshi not long ago, he began to nurture his talent and ancient swords during Confucianism and Taoism, and his starting point was earlier than that of ordinary students.
After Du Ning was promoted to a Confucian and Taoist Jinshi, he continued to sharpen ancient swords with Kunlun grinding stones, and combined with his profound talent and strength, he wanted to carve his name on the ten-foot-tall sword test tablet. In theory, it was possible.
It makes sense.
Du Ning's ancient sword power may not be much different from that of most students, but in terms of his own talent, strength and literary courage, Du Ning is much deeper than any Confucian and Taoist scholar.
This is a condition that students from other countries cannot compare with him.
Du Ning was eager to move, thinking that his conditions on the Sword Trial Monument were more favorable than any other student's, and he might really be able to leave his name on the ten-foot-tall height of the Sword Trial Monument.
Seeing that Du Ning's eyes were lingering on the top of the sword test monument, everyone guessed that Du Ning really planned to carve words on that place, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Du Ning doesn't really want to leave a name on the top of the sword test monument, right? Isn't this a joke on us?"
"In the past hundred years, countless people have left their names on the Sword Test Monument, but no one has carved their name on the top of the Sword Test Monument!"
"Does Du Ning want to break the record and be the first person?"
Students from the Confucius family and students from the Ke family looked at each other for a moment, then laughed at each other.
They are members of aristocratic families, and they are well aware of the difficulty of leaving their names on the sword test monument. So many people have failed, and it is absolutely impossible for Du Ning to do it.
In the audience.
Kong Chengan and Kong Chengmo also laughed, showing extremely sarcastic smiles to Du Ning.
Kong Yu said with a smile: "This Du Ning is really too arrogant. He really wants to carve his name on the top of the sword test monument. If he can't do it, it will consume a lot of talent and strength, which will affect the rest.
If Du Ning's performance is limited by the number of times, the good results that Duning could have achieved will probably drop a lot."
After hearing Kong Yu's analysis, both of them were very happy.
In this scene, they were ready to laugh at Du Ning at any time and make him a joke that attracted everyone's attention.
Want to leave your name on the top of the sword test monument?
You can think so, but you absolutely can't do it.
A Jingguo bachelor said slowly: "To be fair, no one thinks that Du Ning can carve a name on the top of the sword test stele, but let's think about it. Before, we all thought that it was impossible for Du Ning to memorize a hundred.
This book, but he used facts to prove that he has indeed memorized the contents of a hundred books. Therefore, I think that Du Ning is a scholar who cannot be judged by common sense. What we think he cannot do is actually very difficult.
It's possible."
A young man next to him whispered: "We are from Jingguo, why do you need to say such words that make other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige? You are not afraid of being laughed at by others."
"It's true that I'm from Jingguo, but I'm also from the human race. As a human race, can't I long for someone who can carve his name on the top of the sword test monument? No matter who can break this
Records are a symbol of the continuous progress and growth of human scholars, and they should be happy. We cannot be as short-sighted as the students of the Ke family of Liao Dynasty, and we do not expect others to do things we cannot do."<
/p>
"That's right! The tenth foot of the sword test monument is also empty. If someone can really carve his name perfectly..."
The words of Bachelor Jingguo immediately made the people around them feel very reasonable. If someone could leave their name on the ten-foot-tall sword test monument, it would naturally be a blessing to the entire human race.
A very good thing.
For a time, countless eyes fell on Du Ning, all of them showing expressions of great expectation.
Kong Yu's smile froze in place, and Kong Chengan and Kong Chengmo were also dumbfounded.
The students of the Confucius family were so angry that they were obviously students of the Holy Family, and they were also the geniuses who had the best chance of leaving their names on the top of the Sword Trial Monument.
But now, scholars from all over the world have pinned their hopes on Du Ning, which is simply ridiculous.
The Ke family students on the other side also felt very uncomfortable. They were accused of being short-sighted in public, and they were accused of not wanting others to do things they couldn't do. There is no greater insult than this.
"Obviously it is a sword test that can determine the ranking of various countries, but everyone hopes that Du Ning can break the record on the sword test monument. This is the name of the novel, a real literary name." Tian Feipeng said enviously.
Fu Yue said: "Because everyone recognizes Du Ning's ability and hopes that scholars can continue to break the highest records of their predecessors. This is the manifestation of the progress of the human race. If one cannot outperform one's predecessors and is always stuck in the same place, then
It would be a very sad thing."
"Brother Fu is right..."
"That's right..."
Others echoed.
Xia Jiang Huailang said: "Please prepare yourself, students, and leave your names on the sword test tablet."
"Yes." All the students said in unison.
Everyone looked at the sword test monument together, and no one took action easily. After all, there were only three opportunities.
The first two opportunities can be used to measure the hardness of the sword test monument at different heights, but the third time will directly determine the score.
"Everyone, Nie is not talented, so I would like to give you some advice first."
Nie Yinghua suddenly spoke, and an extremely pure talent and power gathered in the Wen Palace. It turned into a white light and shot out of the sky. It swelled into a three-foot-long ancient sword in the wind, and there was a clear and crisp sword cry.
A fierce coercion emanated, causing many people to change their expressions.
"What a powerful Wen Gong ancient sword! This talent and power is so strong!"
"How can a descendant of a historian hone such a powerful ancient sword?"
"Really, people cannot be judged by their appearance..."
Some students who originally looked down upon Nie Yinghua were in awe at this moment.
"Bang!"
With a loud sound, Nie Yinghua's ancient sword struck the sword test monument at a height of more than six feet, and then he used his sword as a pen to slowly draw on the sword test monument, while rocks and sand fell down. p>
But after just a few strokes, he stopped and stopped engraving.
The first opportunity was wasted by Nie Yinghua, but fortunately it was just a test and he was not willing to waste more talents.
Xia Jianghuai nodded silently, Nie Yinghua's test was very clever.
"Hugh!"
Nie Yinghua's ancient sword suddenly exerted force and hit the eight-foot-tall sword test monument, making an extremely difficult stroke on it.
After a while, Nie Yinghua felt an extremely strenuous feeling.
I'm afraid that even if I use up my talents and strength, I may not be able to finish carving my name.
"It would be great if my father named me 'Nie Hua'..." Nie Yinghua whispered softly.
The face of the student next to him turned red, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and he looked very uncomfortable holding back his laughter. He really couldn't let out laughter that would affect Nie Yinghua's performance.
Nie Yinghua gave up the second test, controlled the Wen Gong Ancient Sword to lower its height, and finally carved words in the blank space about seven feet away from the sword test stele.
Not long after, the three characters "Nie Yinghua" were engraved on the sword test stele.
"Okay!"
There were bursts of applause everywhere.
Nie Yinghua wiped the sweat from his head, and then politely handed over his hands to everyone.
"It's only seven feet tall, and its performance is mediocre."
Kong Chengyun raised a sneer on his lips, and then quickly disappeared. Such achievements are not worthy of being regarded as his opponent.
"Let me try it!"
Tian Feipeng sacrificed the ancient sword and turned it into a ray of light and flew up to the sword test monument. He chose to test it at a height of eight feet for the first time and found that he could slide on it with difficulty with the power of his ancient sword.
So without thinking, he used up the power of the ancient sword to carve words on the sword test tablet.
A few minutes later, the three characters "Tian Feipeng" were engraved on the sword test stele, which was not only higher than Nie Yinghua, but also higher than "Ke Changzheng".
The Ke family was furious. Although they had no enmity with Tian Feipeng, Tian Feipeng was Du Ning's roommate, and they did not allow anyone who was close to Du Ning to have the ability to surpass the scholars of the Ke family. p>
Tian Feipeng's ancient sword power had just been exhausted and he returned to the Wen Palace to rest.
Tian Feipeng was sweating profusely, but he didn't expect that he didn't even use the opportunity to test it, and directly carved his name on the eight-foot-high place.
Many people in Jingguo expressed joy. Being able to carve their names on the sword test monument at a height of eight feet is already an outstanding achievement.
"Congratulations to Brother Tian, congratulations to Brother Tian, you are expected to be among the top four in today's sword test." Du Ning said with a smile.
"It's best to be so natural." Tian Feipeng was also very happy.
The expressions of the students from the Liao Kingdom changed several times. Looking at the height of the words "Tian Feipeng" on the sword test monument, they felt an invisible pressure.
"Yeah, but nothing."
Ke Hongwei dismissed this and even found it very ridiculous.
"Let me do it this time!"
After speaking, Ke Hongwei took out the Wen Gong ancient sword and tested it for the first time at a height of nine feet.
"Bang!"
Ke Hongwei's ancient sword exerted great power, but it was still difficult to mark the characters on the sword test tablet, and his face became very ugly. This showed that the power of his ancient sword was not enough to leave a name on the nine-foot-long space. p>
Therefore, Ke Hongwei could only choose to carve his name in the space of the eight-foot-high Sword Test Monument, slightly higher than "Tian Feipeng".
"I must beat Tian Feipeng, and I will never lose to him!"
Ke Hongwei strengthened his belief and carved the words with difficulty.
But not long after, Ke Hongwei discovered that even if he used his talent and literary courage, it would be difficult to completely carve his name on the sword test monument.
His name has too many strokes.
"Hongwei, hold on!"
"Brother Hongwei, come on!"
The Ke family students shouted one after another.
Ke Hongwei was sweating profusely and found that it was difficult to finish writing his name with his remaining talent. If this continued, even if his talent was exhausted, he would only be able to finish writing the word "红".
This shows that Ke Hongwei's ancient sword is not as powerful as Tian Feipeng.
"This is impossible!"
Ke Hongwei looked at Tian Feipeng in disbelief and became furious. He didn't expect that he couldn't even compare to Jingguo students. This was simply a shame.
"Useless things have brought shame on us Liao people!" A Liao university student cursed angrily.
Ke Hongwei's face turned green and white, and he could feel the very disappointed looks of many people in the Liao Kingdom, especially some of the great scholars of the Liao Kingdom, who sighed in disappointment.
"Nothing." Tian Feipeng sneered.
"You..."
Ke Hongwei was so angry that he almost vomited blood. What he just said to Tian Feipeng was actually returned by Tian Feipeng, and he was so embarrassed and angry for a moment.
