Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 58 Pick up the scriptures! Pick up the scriptures!!!

Anyone with a modicum of temper watching the live stream was practically jumping up and down. ☜🍪 ➅❾ѕн𝓤Ж.Cσ๓ ♣💝

The strategist Gongsun Shengxie, a master of diplomacy and strategy, is talking to you, a Taoist master of logic and strategy!

No matter what questions you ask, they will answer them calmly and give you all proper and satisfactory answers!

But in the end, you still came up with some ridiculous and unreasonable arguments. You actually wanted to consider conscience and justice. What's the difference between that and demanding that others demonstrate martial virtue and righteousness?

Whether it's conscience or natural law, these are genuine abstract intellectual crystallizations, not physical objects. If you play around with them like this, you're asking for a beating!

At this very moment, countless comments are flying across the live stream video on the mainstream channel of Da Qin Xianyang.

"Damn, this is outrageous! How can I tolerate this? Now I finally understand why Confucius agreed to let scholars settle scores with their fists! This is infuriating, he has to be beaten up!"

"This is intolerable! If it were me, I'd beat that brat of a famous person to a pulp!"

"Don't rush, a fight is about to break out, isn't it?"

"Do you think it's possible that Gongsun Shengxie deliberately provoked 'Sheng Tian Ban Zi' to make him attack, thus depleting his energy and allowing the other experts to use a series of attacks against him?"

"Damn, are you serious? The Hundred Schools of Thought weren't this shameless!"

"Is the person upstairs new to this scene? Don't they know that there are no rules to follow when dealing with the School of Diplomacy? It's not the first or second time that all the schools of thought have joined forces to deal with the School of Diplomacy! This is definitely a scheme! Gongsun Shengxie is provoking the School of Diplomacy to deplete their energy and strength, and then at the last moment, [The Sage] will come out to collect the heads!"

"This is an unsolvable situation. If the strategists don't accept, they will lose face and have to withdraw from the competition. But if they accept, it's tantamount to accepting a gang attack. [Sheng Tian Ban Zi] should know this inside story, but he chose the latter!"

"I suddenly realize that the strategists of the Warring States period really have guts! The guts of the greatest heroes of the Mohist school—no matter how many of you there are, I'll fight you to the death! If you even flinch, I'll admit defeat!"

"..."

At this moment, a golden lotus blooming in the arena is exceptionally dazzling, and is as big as two basketball courts!

Qin Feng stood on one side of Jinlian, and Gongsun Shengxie stood on the other side.

Scholarly combat, also known as "civilized fighting," is all about exchanging punches, with no dodging or using martial arts techniques! It's all about raw, unadulterated energy! Whoever can't take it gets out!

At this moment, both Qin Feng and Gongsun Sheng were shirtless. Compared to Qin Feng's muscular physique, Gongsun Sheng looked slightly weaker, but he still had a V-line and six-pack abs!

With a resounding clang of a gong, the two threw punches simultaneously!

Qin Feng punched Gongsun Shengxie hard in the kidney area!

Gongsun Shengxie punched Qin Feng hard in the chest!

After exchanging a punch, Qin Feng took a few steps back, looking unsteady, but ultimately did not sit down.

A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of Gongsun Shengxie's mouth. He stood up straight, seemingly victorious, but he was even faster. He had just turned around and hadn't taken two steps when his figure suddenly plunged into the lotus pond with a splash. Water splattered everywhere, and Gongsun Shengxie was out of the game!

From the high platform, Master Meng's voice rang out, "【Winning by Half a Move】wins! 【Master of the School of Names】exits!"

As the voice faded, the jade platform where Gongsun Shengxie was located sank into the water, dragging the group members with it as they left.

The nine stone platforms present have been reduced to eight!

At this moment, on the resplendent golden lotus, Qin Feng swayed precariously, clearly unable to hold on for much longer. (New 69 Bookstore)

But Qin Feng seemed to remain stubbornly defiant, looking around with high spirits, "Who else?!"

Soon, the three Dao Lords stood up together.

"I, [Farmer Daoist], would like to seek guidance from [Sheng Tian Ban Zi]!"

"I, [Mo Family Daoist], wish to seek guidance from [Sheng Tian Ban Zi]!"

"I, [Daoist Master], wish to seek guidance from [Sheng Tian Ban Zi]!"

The phrase "Let's have a chat" implies that debating is pointless; let's just start fighting!

As soon as he finished speaking, the three Dao Lords boarded the Vast Golden Lotus together!

The golden lotus flowers bloomed brilliantly, and the three people surrounded Qin Feng, forming an encirclement.

At this moment, even the viewers in the live stream could see that this was going to be a group attack, and the live stream on Xianyang was going crazy.

"Holy crap! They were right! Gongsun Shengxie, one of the Four Great Dao Lords, was just bait. He was traded one [Sheng Tian Ban Zi] for a cripple, and then the other three Dao Lords ganged up on [Sheng Tian Ban Zi]!"

"That's utterly shameless! The four Dao Lords teaming up against someone called 'Half a Move Ahead of Heaven'—even if it's a civil war, a civil war can still kill!"

"Verbal combat is more brutal than martial arts combat. Martial arts combat can utilize techniques, but verbal combat relies solely on physical strength and defensive/offensive capabilities!"

"You can only blame 'Sheng Tian Ban Zi' for being too arrogant. You should have just finished your match and gone to rest, instead of being so cocky and spouting threats, like 'Who else dares to challenge us!' Well, now that they're here, they've got what they asked for!"

"..."

At this moment, on the Vast Golden Lotus, Qin Feng looked around and felt an unprecedentedly powerful sense of oppression!

Just now, Gongsun Shengxie, the [Master Daoist], had nearly reached 500 in blood energy! And now, the four guys standing in front of him each have blood energy exceeding 500!

Their power generation techniques can basically unleash eight or nine times the explosive power!

Eight or nine times the explosive power, roughly equivalent to a normal attack with 800 HP!

In other words, if you can withstand three normal attacks with 800 HP each at once, you must increase your HP to over 1000!

But if I really improve to the level of over a thousand, wouldn't my secret of having over a thousand blood qi be exposed?

Qin Feng's most feared opponent, the old monster [One Saint], has yet to make a move. It's unknown how much Qi and Blood he has accumulated after Confucius modified his meridians and body!

But the situation is now beyond my expectations. The three Dao Lords are shamelessly attacking together, and I have no choice.

In Wen Da, there is no one-on-one rule; group fights are allowed.

In this situation, all Qin Feng can do is face it calmly and take it one step at a time!

Qin Feng looked at the three people around him, his eyes gleaming. "What are you all waiting for? Are you waiting for me to collapse from exhaustion?"

"I'm sorry, but my strength is recovering rapidly. If the three of you don't hurry and defeat me in one fell swoop, then you really won't have another chance to defeat me!"

Qin Feng's arrogant and domineering provocation instantly enraged the three of them, and the three Dao Lords simultaneously assumed a fighting stance!

[Taoist Master] Like a white crane spreading its wings, he ran swiftly and punched Qin Feng in the temple!

[Farmer Daojun], like an old farmer wielding a hoe, simply kicked Qin Feng in the waist.

[Mo Family Daoist] manipulated the clouds with his palm, using a special technique to strike straight at Qin Feng's back!

These three moves all struck vital points, seemingly aiming to lift him down.

Qin Feng dared not be careless at this moment, as even a thousand units of Qi and Blood might still cause injury!

If you injure yourself by hiding your true abilities and it affects your performance in the martial arts exam later, then it will be a loss!

Since that's the case, then let's go all out!

I don't want to think about that anymore!

Let me show you my true strength!

2039 Qi and Blood!

Wake up all!

Qin Feng lowered his head, raised his right hand, and aligned his index and middle fingers with his brow. His left hand was held out in front of him in a gesture of supporting the wind. For a moment, the solemn ceremony seemed like a ritual of life liberation!

At this very moment, both on and off the stage, some experts had already realized that something was wrong!

On the highest platform, closest to him, the Master couldn't help but exclaim, "This... this is the liberation of life, the awakening of blood energy! He was actually fighting Gongsun Shengxie while suppressing his blood energy!"

Below the Confucius Terrace, on a jade platform, stood a masked scholar in a white Confucian robe, speaking in a gentle voice, "Finally, you've used your full strength! Let me see just how much vital energy you have, exactly a little over a thousand!"

In front of the live stream camera, a middle-aged swordsman drank and laughed, "Haha! They've really angered Junior Uncle! He's about to unleash his berserk mode! Hahaha!"

After laughing for a while, the middle-aged swordsman looked at Qin Feng's posture and muttered to himself, "But Junior Uncle's Qi Awakening gesture looks so familiar! It seems to be Jing Ke's Qi Awakening gesture! Did Jing Ke teach him, or did he learn it after watching Jing Ke use it?"

No sooner said than done.

The three Dao Lords attacked simultaneously!

Right in the center of the majestic golden lotus, Qin Feng closed his eyes, his body bent like a bow, his mind focused, his knees bent, one fist held in front of him, and the other blocking behind him!

Three figures simultaneously struck Qin Feng!

At that moment, the three men's hands and feet that were attacking Qin Feng made a cracking sound, and their bones shattered instantly!

But then they saw a surge of golden light erupt from Qin Feng's body, followed by a crimson rainbow bursting forth from his pores, and the vast blood energy suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, however, three figures were seen screaming as they tore through the air and fell into the water from within the bloody mist.

Looking again at the very center of the blood-red mist, a giant figure, a full two zhang tall, was faintly visible!

Everyone present looked up at the giant before them!

Around the giant's back, visible humanoid crimson lightning ripples appeared!

Along with the burst of crimson blood energy and thunder, there was also the sound of drums!

The drumbeats of liberation for life!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump-thump—

That's the sound of a heart beating!

No human being has ever been able to transform the sound of a heartbeat into the thunderous roar of a drum!

The sound of his heart pounding echoed around, and an unimaginable surge of life filled the entire arena!

The drumbeats break free from constraints!

It resonates deeply within the hearts of every human being!

As the heartbeat of life's liberation resounded, the giant's silhouette solidified, and his long, blood-red, lightning-infused hair surged forth, billowing and flying across the sky. Every inch of air in the arena was filled with visible, blood-black lightning arcs and electric sparks!

At this moment, the crimson mist dissipated, and Qin Feng left the Vast Golden Lotus. His body transformed from 1.8 meters tall to about 20 feet tall. Each muscle no longer had the exaggerated swelling of before, but instead became much more restrained. However, crimson lightning arcs drifted between every muscle line, making him look as if a god had descended!

Powerful, invincible, fierce, arrogant, the embodiment of power, a rebirth of human mythology, a new direction of human evolution, a martial arts combat form never before seen by humankind!

At this moment, countless words describing power are perfectly suited to Qin Feng!

They looked up at the martial arts god before them, whose long, flowing hair cascaded down his shoulders and who stood over six meters tall. Every inch of his flesh seemed to be in the perfect golden ratio of the human body.

Looking up at him, it's as if you're looking up at the powerful vision of our ancestors in ancient times, looking down on all living beings and crushing the starry sky with a single thought!

This is a powerful sense of oppression that comes from the very source of life!

This is also a sense of distance that comes from the same kind of life!

The live stream chat on Xianyang was buzzing with excitement.

"Holy crap! Is this some kind of divine intervention?! Martial arts godhood is real?!"

"Mom! I saw a god! He really became a god!"

"The Analects once said, 'The Master said, "A craftsman who wishes to do his work must first sharpen his tools." It is said that Confucius would clean his sword (責) before reasoning with people. I used to think it was a joke, but now it seems to be true!'"

"The true interpretation of the Analects has emerged. The interpretation that Confucian scholars once scorned is the real one. Look at the physique of this scholar! His terrifying physique is two zhang tall, and his forearm is thicker than my thigh! Confucius must have been like this to be able to travel around the states and preach to the rulers of each state, and those rulers were all willing to listen to his teachings!"

The Master said, "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits." This means that Confucius, without uttering a single word, could drive people insane!

"Confucius said, 'At thirty, one stands firm; only thirty men are worthy of my standing to fight! At forty, one is free from doubt; even if forty men come, I will fight without hesitation! At fifty, one knows the mandate of Heaven; even if fifty men come, I can show them who their destined benefactor is! At sixty, one's ears are attuned to the truth; perhaps only when all sixty men persuade me will I stop!'"

According to the "Lüshi Chunqiu," Confucius was proficient in the Six Arts, could carry a star gate on his shoulder, lift a spaceship with one hand, and even at over 500 years old, he could tear apart a mecha with his bare hands. Now, thinking about it, he's no more than a giant who has "conquered the heavens by half a move"!

Facing Qin Feng, the novelist, Qin Feng's opponent, dropped the scriptures in his hand in fright.

The next moment, a crimson light pressed down on them!

The giant's shadow looked down at the novelist "Seven Heroes" like a god, pointing at the scriptures in the water, "Pick up the scriptures! Pick up the scriptures!!!"

A series of sharp shouts!

But then they saw the novelist covering his ears, blood gushing from his mouth and nose!

Around the novelist, the eight oddballs of the farming family were also being attacked by sonic waves. With one hand covering their chest, they manipulated the jade platform to begin sinking!

Only two opponents remained on the field.

【Immortal Haoran】!

[One Saint]!

A colossal crimson shadow roared in, its six-meter-long crimson hair flying wildly, resembling a demon god, looking down upon the [Immortal Haoran] below.

【Haoran Zhenxian】looked up at Qin Feng, showing no fear on his face. Instead, he spoke confidently, "Is this what a human with over a thousand units of Qi and Blood looks like?"

One of the Saints chuckled, "You're ignorant! This is the ultimate battle stance only achieved after breaking through two thousand Qi and Blood!"

【Haoran Zhenxian】 glanced at the masked 【Yisheng】 and said, "So, it seems you're confident you can defeat 【Shengtian Banzi】!"

[One Saint] seemed to ignore [Immortal Haoran], instead looking at Qin Feng and saying, "You're quite good; your qi and blood are on par with mine! If it were a one-on-one fight, whether it's a literary or martial arts battle, you might not be my match! But today's situation is unfavorable to me! That stubborn mule [Immortal Haoran] will definitely oppose me; in his eyes, defeating me is more valuable than getting first place in the liberal arts!"

"If I were to fight you at all costs, it would give [Immortal Haoran] a huge advantage!"

"If that's the case, then why don't you be number one!"

[Immortal Haoran] angrily said, "[Sage Yi], is it appropriate for the Confucian school to let the strategists take first place in the literature exam?"

[One Saint] said, "In our hearts, personal conflict outweighs factional conflict! Heretics deserve to die, but traitors deserve to die even more! If I give up competing for first place this time, you won't get first place either!"

Faced with such a public and fierce confrontation between the two, even someone as strong as Qin Feng was filled with admiration.

You two don't hide anything at all!

They are all genuine and open-minded people!

People say that the internal strife within our School of Diplomacy is fierce, but little do they know that you Confucians fight even more fiercely. In order to claim your own correctness, you actually gave me the top spot in the humanities exam. My two gentlemen have extraordinary magnanimity, and I, Qin Feng, deeply admire you!

At this moment, the masked [One Saint] turned to look at Qin Feng, lazily clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist [Sheng Tian Ban Zi] for achieving first place in the liberal arts! May our friendship endure forever, and may we meet again in the martial arts!"

Subsequently, the jade platform on which [One Saint] stood slowly sank into the water.

At this moment, only two jade platforms remain: one is called "Great Immortal" and the other is called "Half a Son Who Surpasses Heaven".

Qin Feng glanced at [Immortal Haoran]. The young man seemed somewhat unwilling, but ultimately bowed and gave himself a dignified exit, saying, "The world of martial arts is not far off, see you at the martial arts school!"

But behind [Immortal Haoran], a young man in a blue robe sighed, "Damn it, so I've just been a spectator? Can't you experts find a secluded place to fight? I prepared for this debate all night, and before I even finish, I'm leaving? Can't you two consider my feelings? Has this whole year been a waste of my time?"

The [Immortal Haoran] beside him said irritably, "You're so great, why don't you go and fight Qin Feng one-on-one! Let me tell you, he has at least two thousand health points! Yours are less than two hundred at most! He can take on a hundred of you by himself! No! At least a thousand of you! And he'll kill them all with a single punch!"

The young man seemed to have come to terms with reality, and sighed, "So be it, so be it. I'll just be a runner-up. Anyway, the Confucian competition has little to do with my Legalist school."

Qin Feng looked at the young man in the blue robe with a sour expression and smiled. "How should I address you, sir?"

The young man said, "Han Fei."

Qin Feng glanced at Han Fei, then pointed to his teammate Shen Buhai behind him, "You are Han Fei! I've long admired your name. My teammate, Shen Heifu, told me that he greatly admires your legal knowledge and wants to compete with you in law. He hopes you will have the opportunity to guide him!"

Han Fei's eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Shen Buhai, repeatedly saying, "Don't worry, I love any kind of argument! As for who I argue with, that's not important! Shen Heifu, right? I've got my eye on him. I'll go and ambush him next time!"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "In that case, farewell, everyone!"

【Haoran Zhenxian】 cupped his hands in greeting, and the jade platform fell down, leaving only the 【Shengtian Banzi】 stone platform.

The curtains on the high platform in the middle fluttered, and Master Meng struck the golden gong, the sound of which shook the heavens!

Master Meng's voice was melodious: "In this year's civil service examination, the winner has been decided. Qin Feng, the strategist known as 'Half a Move Ahead of Heaven,' has emerged victorious, ranking first in the civil service exam with a total score of 170!"

"We won! Haha!"

"I knew it! My brother Feng is invincible—haha!"

Dongfang Laoying hugged Shen Buhai with great joy, but while Shen Buhai was happy, he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Just now, why were Qin Feng and a young scholar pointing and whispering at me?

Shen Buhai felt a chill run down his spine, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
