Chapter 382: The battle for the top spot
Tian Yu, this is a very ordinary-sounding name, at least compared to sword masters such as Duan Yue and Yan Bei, it is not so loud.
But in the Wushuang Academy, no one dared to despise this name, even in the middle of the summer when the Lost Swamp was invincible, Wu Tong, who was carrying the Chixiao Divine Sword, had to call him a senior brother when he saw Tian Yu.
I don't care about the position, but the strength!
It is true that Su Wen's opponents in this session of the Ten Nations Joint Entrance Examination are only scholars, but for the students of Wushuang Academy, the academic position has never been the first criterion to measure the difference in strength between the two sides.
If you talk about it for a long time, the Sword Saint Duan Yue back then also had no literary position, but no one dared to question his position as a sage.
If you talk closer, the current Yasheng Yanbei is just an ordinary person who practices swords, but the sword in his hand is stronger than the four half-saints such as Lu Sanjiao and Zhou Ji combined!
Among the ten kingdoms of the human race, the only one who cannot judge its strength by virtue of his position is the Wu Kingdom.
And Tian Yu is a native of Wuguo.
Moreover, his teacher is Yasheng, Yanbei.
Now Su Wen has learned from Mu Xi about the tragic battle outside the Yellow Crane Tower that day, so he already knows that the Yanbei swordsman who taught him a sword is Yasheng.
No one knows better than Su Wen how terrifying Yanbei's sword is.
At the beginning, Yanbei just taught Su Wen a sword in the middle of Lin Huaju, and Su Wen was able to use it as a hole card across the entire Southern Frontier Demon Domain.
And this Tian Yu is a genuine disciple of Yanbei!
Then his sword. And how terrible is it?
Su Wen couldn't imagine it, but he could be sure that this person. It will definitely be his biggest opponent in the martial arts test!
But until this time, this Tian Yu was only the second name in Mu Xi's mouth, that is to say, at least in Mu Xi's heart, there was another person who was even more threatening than Tian Yu brought to Su Wen!
Who is that person?
The answer is actually very simple, so simple that Su Wen guessed the name of this person at the beginning. He just didn't expect that Mu Xi would put this person last.
Sure enough, when Mu Xi raised his third finger. I didn't make too many introductions as before, just three words.
"Ouyang Ke. ”
Yes, it was Ouyang Ke, who was from the same sage family as Mu Xi, and Ouyang Ke who almost killed Su Wen in the Lost Swamp.
This is perhaps the most underestimated name. But Su Wen didn't think so.
Lost Swamp aside, the battle is aside. Ouyang Ke's other deeds during this period can't be avoided.
That was the Battle of the Yellow Crane Tower.
It is true that from the beginning of ascending the tower, Su Wen has never encountered Ouyang Ke in the Holy Tower, but from the final result, it seems that Ouyang Ke has also successfully escaped from the Yellow Crane Tower and has become one of the few survivors left in the battle of the Yellow Crane Tower!
If this alone is not enough to attract Su Wen's attention. So before he came to the Holy City, Mu Xi's words in the carriage. But it made him extremely wary of this Ouyang Ke.
"Liu Shishi is a matter of the demon clan, not from us, but Ouyang Ke!"
To be able to know that Liu Shishi is a demon clan, one condition is required, that is, he has met him in the Yellow Crane Tower!
In other words, at that time, Ouyang Ke was not only attacked and killed by the demons before Su Wen and the others, but also successfully escaped and survived to the end!
Such a feat is a miracle!
You must know that although the final winner of the battle of the Yellow Crane Tower is Su Wen, it is not by his own strength, but by the time that Mu Xi, Yu Mo and others fought hard for him, and by the rescue of Sima Qian, the last Shi Sheng, otherwise, before Su Wen can control the Yellow Crane Tower, I am afraid he will already die.
So from a certain point of view, Ouyang Ke has done this qiē, which is difficult for even Su Wen to achieve!
However, even so, in Su Wen's heart, Ouyang Ke's weight was still not as heavy as Tian Yu's, so he asked Xiang Muxi puzzled: "I don't understand, why is Ouyang Ke ranked last?"
Mu Xi seemed to have expected it, she sighed softly, and said: "You are not from the Holy Dao family, so of course you won't understand how strong Ouyang Ke is, don't look at him as just a scholar now, but don't forget, he is one of the candidates for the new four talents." ”
Su Wen was noncommittal about this, just waiting for Mu Xi to continue.
"Or to put it this way, do you know why the Tianlan Empire is stronger than the other nine kingdoms of the human race?"
Su Wen nodded: "Because in addition to having a Dean of Tianlan Academy, the Poetry Saint Liu Zhongyong, there is also a Wen Saint, Ouyang Xiu. ”
Although this answer is not the whole reason for the transcendent status of the Tianlan Empire, it is the most important reason, so Su Wen's answer cannot be said to be wrong.
Mu Xi smiled, and then asked, "So, have you ever thought about why Ouyang Ke is considered to be the first person of the younger generation of the Tianlan Empire since the two Great Saint Dao families are stationed in the same country, and the Lord of Poetry is still the dean of Tianlan Academy?"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, and asked reflexively, "Why is he?"
Mu Xi shook his head: "It's not only the Ouyang family that has geniuses, in the bloodline of the descendants of Lord Shisheng, there are also people who are not inferior to Ouyang Ke, but in the end, only Ouyang Ke is listed as the new four talents." ”
"This shows that the Ouyang family has concentrated almost all its resources on Ouyang Ke's body, and the power of the clan is exerted, I'm afraid even I can't imagine, after all, my maternal ancestor has passed away......"
Speaking of this, Mu Xi's feelings seemed to be a little low, but he quickly regained his calmness and continued: "And the most important thing is that now the Canglan Emperor intends to start a civil war, so he needs Ouyang Ke to win the top spot in this joint entrance examination, so as to boost morale and strengthen the confidence of the rest of the allies!"
"So you know why this year's 10-nation joint entrance examination was advanced to after the New Year. ”
Su Wen's expression was solemn, and he said with some surprise: "However, even if Ouyang Ke won the top spot in the joint entrance examination. In the end, it is just a royal book, what impact can it have on the situation of the civil war?"
Hearing Su Wen's question, Mu Xi couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. In her opinion, Su Wen's sensitivity to current affairs is really a little dull.
"Emperor Canglan wants to start a civil war, and what he is targeting Qingguo and my defense of the country, but do you know whose attitude really determines this internal victory?"
After Mu Xi's guiding question, Su Wen immediately fell into a long silence.
A moment later. He raised his head and asked with some uncertainty, "Is it the rest of the countries that remain neutral?"
A hint of relief flashed in Mu Xi's eyes, and then nodded.
"Not bad. Although now the Tianlan Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom have formed an alliance, even if they add the strength of the Yan Kingdom, it is still less than half of the strength of the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race, so after this. The Canglan Emperor needs to be wooed the most. It is the support of neutral countries such as Jiguo and Liao!"
After a pause, Mu Xi then said a very important speculation: "And I think that Tang Guo has remained silent so far, and he is also looking at the final results of this joint examination!"
"Huang Longshi, the chess saint, is an old fox, and he is more willing to invest in the future than in the present, so if Ouyang Ke really shows his potential to become a saint one day, I think. I'm afraid that even Tang Guo will defect at a critical moment!"
Su Wen gasped, and then he suddenly thought of something.
I still remember before he left the Southern Demon Domain. Yu Ge told him that after he returned from this trip, he didn't have to think about anything, he didn't have to do anything, he only needed to win the top three in the joint entrance examination, and he would be able to solve the crisis of the civil war of the human race!
Now Mu Xi has come to almost the same conclusion.
The only difference is that Yuge's judgment is still conservative, while Mu Xi believes that even if Su Wen gets the top three on the list, it will not be enough, because if Ouyang Ke gets the top spot, then Su Wen's top three will be meaningless.
Therefore, in this ten-nation joint examination, Su Wen must win the first place!
As long as Su Wen can get the first place in the joint entrance examination, it will affect the decision of the chess saint Huang Longshi, and the decision of the chess saint Huang Longshi will affect the attitude of the entire Tang Kingdom, and thus the entire civil war situation!
If Weiguo, Qingguo, and Tang can form an alliance, although it is weaker than the coalition army led by Emperor Canglan, at least it has to be fought!
Moreover, Su Wen's name at the top of the list may also shake the neutral position of Jiguo, Liao and Loulan, and even if it can borrow the power of a country, it can also play a key role in the success or failure of the final civil war.
This is the deep meaning of Yuge's original construction of Su Wen.
For this reason, Yuge even did not hesitate to give his sword to Su Wen, in order to ensure Su Wen's advantage in the joint entrance examination.
You can't use Wenbao in the joint entrance examination martial arts test, but you can use a blade!
At this moment, Su Wen finally understood everything, and seemed to have guessed the truth that Yuge gave him the sword.
If this civil war is finally won by the Canglan Emperor, then in fact, for the human race itself, the loss is not great, it is nothing more than letting the coalition forces carve up the territory of defending the country and Qingguo.
But if this civil war were turned into a fierce battle between the two forces, the outcome would be very different!
At that time, the ten nations of the Terran race will all be dragged into the quagmire of war and will never be able to pull it out again.
To put it mildly, the Terran civilization will be set back by at least fifty years in this internal strife!
At that time, wouldn't it be the opportunity of the demon clan?
But in the face of Yuge's sinister intentions, Su Wen had to go along with his wishes, because he couldn't just watch the country fall like this.
So in the next moment, Su Wen let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "I know, I will do my best in this joint entrance examination." ”
After a pause, Su Wen picked up the book in his hand again, and smiled at Mu Xi: "However, before that, let me finish reading these books......
