Chapter 179: Engraving and leaving a name(1/2)
Kong Chengyun smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Ye Jinghong was indeed extremely capable of engraving his name on the ninth-high sword test stele. I, Kong Chengyun, also admired it very much, but the name left by my scholar in Kong's family on the sword test stele is higher than his."
After saying that, he held his head high and looked at the students present with almost contempt, with a very confident smile on his face.
Students from all countries also cast admirable eyes on the name of the Kong family engraved on the sword test monument. Being able to clearly engrave their own names on the sword test monument more than nine feet high will be an honor on the sword test monument.

On the sword test monument at the tenth stairs high, there was a blank space, and no one had engraved a name on it.
This entire sword test monument is like a small mountain. The empty area at the tenth meter taller is not large, but it is the most solid place in the sword test monument.
With the cultivation of a Confucian, Taoist and Jinshi, it is difficult to engrave your name completely in that blank area, and it can only leave a few incomplete sword marks.
Many people have tried to carve their names in the tenth zhang area, but they all ended in failure.
Du Ning can see that there is a word "ye" on it, and there is a radical with the word "jing" next to the word "ye". It should be that Ye Jinghong had tried it back then, but he could only carve half of it.
If you want to engrave letters on the tenth stairs of sword test, you must not only require the scholar's Wengong Ancient Sword to be sharp enough, but also have strong talent and strength, otherwise this very embarrassing situation will occur.
"Mr. Du's talent is far superior to ordinary people. Maybe you can also try to engrave his name at the height of the tenth zhang to break the record of the Holy Academy once again." A Ke family member said with a gloomy face.
"Just, even my Kong family student has never engraved his name at the highest point of the sword test monument. What is Du Ning? He is also worthy of engraving his name at the tenth wing of the sword test monument? It's ridiculous!" A Kong student laughed out loud.
"Even if Mr. Du finds it difficult to leave a name on the tenth-foot-foot sword test monument, he will definitely be among the best in his cultivation. We must be careful." The student of the Ke family said viciously.
Kong Chengyun spoke proudly: "It's not long since Du Ning became a Jinshi. How can his Wengong Ancient Sword be compared with me? We can't compare with him in terms of talent, but the power of the Wengong Ancient Sword is twice as powerful as his Kong family!"
"Well said!" The students of the Kong family shouted, very confident.
The students of the Kong family and the Ke family sang and reconciled each other. The words they said made the students of Yun feel very bad, but they made some sense.
Du Ning looked at the blank part at the tenth ft. A burning light flashed in his eyes, and he also longed to be able to carve his name on the sword test monument at the highest point. It would be a feat that would never come before.
Although Du Ning had just become a Jinshi, he began to nurture talented Gu Jian when he was a Confucian and Taoist juren, and his starting point was earlier than that of ordinary students.
After Du Ning was promoted to Confucian and Taoist Jinshi, he used Kunlun grinding stone to continuously sharpen the ancient sword, and combined with his profound talent and strength, he wanted to carve his name on the tenth-high sword test monument, which was theoretically feasible.
Du Ning's ancient sword power may be almost the same as that of most students, but in terms of his own talent and literary courage, Du Ning is much deeper than any Confucian, Taoist and Jinshi.
This is a condition that other students from other countries cannot compete with him.
Du Ning was ready to move, thinking that his conditions on the Sword Test Stele were more favorable than any student, and he might really leave his name at the tenth highest point in the Sword Test Stele.
Seeing Du Ning's eyes keeping back at the highest point of the Sword Test Monument, everyone guessed that Du Ning really planned to engrave words in that place, and they were talking for a while.
"Dun Ning doesn't really want to engrave letters and leave his name at the highest point of the Sword Test Stele, right? Isn't this kidding us, right?"
"In the past century, there have been countless people who have left their names on the Sword Test Stele, but none of them have engraved their names at the highest point of the Sword Test Stele yet!"
"Does Du Ning want to break the record and be the first person?"
The students of the Kong family and the Ke family looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed at each other.
They are from a noble family and know the difficulty of leaving a name on the sword test monument. So many people failed, so Du Ning would never be able to do it.
In the auditorium.
Kong Cheng'an and Kong Chengmo also laughed loudly, showing a sarcastic smile to Du Ning.
Kong Yu smiled and said, "This Du Ning is so arrogant. He really wants to engrave words and leave a name at the highest point of the Sword Test Stele. If he can't do it, it will affect the performance of the subsequent times because of the consumption of a lot of talent and strength. Then Du Ning could have achieved good results and may have a lot of decline."
Both of them were very happy to hear Kong Yu's analysis.
In this game, they have already made a joke to mock Du Ning at any time, making Du Ning a joke that everyone is paying attention to.
Want to leave a name at the highest point of the Sword Test Stele?
You can think so, but you absolutely can't.
A Grand Secretary of Jingguo said slowly: "To be fair, no one thinks Du Ning can engrave letters and leave a name at the highest point of the Sword Test Stele, but we think about it the other way around. Before, we all thought that Du Ning could not memorize a hundred books, but he used facts to prove that he had indeed memorized the content of a hundred books. Therefore, I think Du Ning is an unreasonable scholar. What we think is impossible to do is actually very likely to do."
A young man next to him whispered: "We are from Jingguo. Why do you need to say such words that make others more ambitious and destructive? You are not afraid of being laughed at by others."
"It is true that I am a native of Jingguo, but I am also a member of the human race. As a human race, can't I long for someone who can engrave and leave a name at the highest point on the Sword Test Stele? No matter who can break this record, it symbolizes the continuous progress and growth of human scholars. We should be happy. Our eyes cannot be as short as those of the students of the Ke family in Liao Kingdom, and we do not want others to do what we cannot do."
"That's right! The tenth trough of the sword test monument is also empty. If someone really can perfectly engrave their name..."
The words of Grand Secretary Jingguo immediately made the people around him feel very reasonable. If someone could leave his name on the tenth-high sword test monument, it would naturally be a good thing for the entire human race.
For a moment, countless gazes fell on Du Ning, and each of them showed a very expectant expression.
Kong Yu's smile froze in place, and Kong Cheng'an and Kong Chengmo were also stunned.
The students of the Kong family were so angry that they were obviously students of the most holy family and the genius who had the most hope to leave their names at the highest point of the Sword Test Monument.
But now, scholars from all countries have placed this hope on Du Ning, which is simply absurd.
On the other hand, the Ke family students were also very uncomfortable. They were accused of being short-sighted in public and did not want others to do what they were accused of not being able to do. There is no greater insult than this.
"It is obviously a sword test that can determine the rankings of the countries, but everyone hopes that Du Ning can break the record of the sword test monument. This is the name of the literary name, a real literary name." Tian Feipeng spoke 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 a manifestation of human progress. If you cannot surpass the top and stay in the stage of standing still, it will be a very sad thing."
"Brother Fu's words are reasonable..."
“Yes…”
Others agreed.
Xia Jianghuai said loudly: "Please be prepared and engrave letters and names on the sword test stele."
"Yes." The students spoke in unison.
Everyone looked at the sword test monument together, but they didn't take action easily, after all, there were only three opportunities.
The first two opportunities can be used to measure the hardness of different heights of the sword test monument, but the third time will directly determine the results.
"Everyone, Nie is not talented, so he is willing to throw a brick and attract jade first."
Nie Yinghua suddenly spoke, and a stream of extremely pure talent gathered from the Wen Palace, turning into a white light and breaking out of the air. The ancient sword that rose into three feet long in the wind sounded an extremely crisp sound of the sword.
A sharp pressure emanated, causing many people to change their faces.
"What a powerful Ancient Sword of Wengong! This talent is so powerful!"
"How could it be that just a descendant of a historian who could have sophisticated an ancient sword?"
"You really shouldn't behave like a person..."
Some students who originally despised Nie Yinghua were all in awe at this moment.
"Bang!"
With a trembling sound, Nie Yinghua's ancient sword slashed at a height of more than six meters high in the sword test stele. Then he slowly slashed on the sword test stele with the sword as a pen, and stone sand fell.
But after just a few strokes, I stopped and stopped engraving.
The first opportunity was wasted by Nie Yinghua, but fortunately it was just a test and was unwilling to waste more talents.
Xia Jianghuai nodded silently, Nie Yinghua's temptation was very clever.
"stop!"
Nie Yinghua's ancient sword suddenly exerted force and hit the eight-foot-high sword test monument, slashing it with great difficulty.
After a moment, Nie Yinghua felt an extremely difficult feeling.
I am afraid that even if I use all my talents and strength, I may not be able to engrave my name.
"I would be great if my father named me 'Nie Hua'..." Nie Yinghua whispered.
The students around him turned red, their mouths kept twitching, and they looked very uncomfortable when they could not make laughter. They could not make any laughter and affect Nie Yinghua's performance.
Nie Yinghua gave up the second test and controlled the Ancient Sword of Wengong to lower the height, and finally engraved the blank part about the seventh trough of the sword test stele.
Soon, the three big characters "Nie Yinghua" were engraved on the sword test monument.
"good!"
There were bursts of applause everywhere.
Nie Yinghua wiped the sweat from his head and then bowed politely to everyone.
"It's only seven feet high, and the performance is mediocre."
Kong Chengyun raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then quickly disappeared. Such a result was not worthy of being his opponent.
"Let me try it!"
Tian Feipeng sacrificed the ancient sword and turned into a ray of light and flew onto the sword test monument. For the first time, he chose to test it at the height of the eighth zhang, and found that with the power of his ancient sword, he could slash on it with difficulty.
So without thinking, he used all the power of the ancient sword to engrave words on the sword test stele.
A few minutes later, the three words "Tian Feipeng" were engraved on the sword test stele, not only higher than Nie Yinghua, but also higher than "Ke Changzheng".
The Ke family was furious. Although they had no grudges and grudges with Tian Feipeng, Tian Feipeng was Du Ning's cohabitation. They did not allow anyone who was closer to Du Ning to have the ability to surpass the Ke family's scholars.
Tian Feipeng's ancient sword power was just exhausted, so 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 chance to test, so he directly engraved his name at the eighth-foot high.
Many people in Jingguo expressed their joy and were able to engrave their names at the eighth zhang height of the Sword Testing Monument. Such results are already very outstanding.
"Congratulations to Brother Tian, and Brother Tian, you are expected to be among the top four in today's sword test." Du Ning said with a smile.
