Chapter 1056 -967: The First Scholar of Zhao Continent
Lin Yuan had originally planned to participate in the poetry conference and greatly boost his reputation, but unexpectedly, he became a judge for the conference.
Once a judge, he could no longer compete.
Lin Yuan was disappointed, but he could only accept this outcome.
According to the chairman’s analysis, choosing to be a judge was presumably more rewarding than competing directly.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
As the date of the Mount Lu Poetry Conference approached, the participating poets became increasingly active!
Many conducted high-profile media interviews!
The media reactions from various continents were interesting—they obviously favored the literati from their own continents!
It can only be said.
No matter how much Blue Star is integrated, regional biases across continents cannot be completely eliminated in just a few years.
Perhaps the higher-ups wanted to see such a scenario as well?
After all…
Progress only comes with competition.
The slightly competitive spirit across the continents was quite appropriate.
Online.
Netizens tirelessly began discussing who would be the ultimate winner of this edition of the Poetry Conference.
Some enthusiasts even made various popularity rankings.
Many of the most famous literati were among them, deemed by everyone to be the seed players expected to win the Poetry Conference.
Among them.
Xian Yu’s name, although not highly ranked, also appeared in many rankings.
Mount Lu and the program “Fish Walking with You” had already announced that Xian Yu would participate in this Poetry Conference.
Though Xian Yu wasn’t considered part of the cultural circle, he had written quite a few poems!
Among them, “Song of Water” was still being talked about with relish to this day!
Therefore.
Some people believed Xian Yu had a chance of ranking well!
Apart from Xian Yu, another individual also gained widespread attention, quickly becoming famous across continents!
This person’s name was Shu Ziwen.
A renowned poet from Zhao Continent’s Blue Star!
In the literary circle of Zhao Continent, Shu Ziwen carried the title “Number One Talent”!
He came from a distinguished literary family in Zhao Continent, his father being a renowned poet of the region.
It was said that this child was intelligent from a young age, perfectly inheriting his father’s literary talent, capable of composing poems at the age of seven—a child prodigy, and upon growing up, he had continuously published numerous splendid literary works!
There were even rumors:
A young literary talent from Zhong Continent had once approached Shu Ziwen in private for a Literary Duel, only to be thoroughly defeated!
And that was not all.
Besides his proficiency in poetry, Shu Ziwen also possessed many other skills.
For example, he was very skilled at various classical instruments, having performed the guqin at large-scale performances;
Then there was his calligraphy, also exceptional, standing out even in Zhao Continent, where calligraphy education was highly valued;
And there was more…
He simply excelled in many aspects!
In one word:
A high-quality male of humanity!
Not to mention, aside from his own excellence, Shu Ziwen also had a face comparable to that of a movie star!
There are many handsome men.
But few are as talented, handsome, and distinguished as Shu Ziwen.
Therefore, Shu Ziwen became popular!
Videos of Shu Ziwen himself accepting interviews spread widely across continental forums, gaining countless fans!
Because Shu Ziwen was interviewed in his own study.
The background wall of his study was filled with amazing honors, certificates, and trophies that were too numerous to count!
The interview also revealed a lot of personal information about Shu Ziwen.
For example, he had been pursued by all the girls in his middle school; he ranked third in his college entrance examination in Zhao Continent; his father once couldn’t complete a magazine contribution due to illness, and Shu Ziwen ghostwrote for his father, with no one discovering any discrepancies…
Of course, Shu Ziwen eventually confessed to the magazine.
Not only did the magazine understand, but they also used this opportunity to promote it widely, turning the story into a delightful narrative.
Currently.
Riding on the influence of the Poetry Conference, Shu Ziwen became famous across continents—the entire internet praised him!
“Shu Ziwen is simply a born protagonist!”
“Only a place like Zhao Continent, which focuses on nurturing arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age, could produce a male god like Shu Ziwen!”
“Such experiences are simply legendary!”
“The perfect male lead in period dramas is always talented in both letters and martial arts, who would have thought such a person truly exists in reality!”
“Where’s the martial arts?”
“Didn’t you see the trophy for fencing on Shu Ziwen’s wall? It’s from a youth fencing championship—I also practice this sport, I can’t be mistaken.”
“Are the paintings and calligraphy on the wall also Shu Ziwen’s works?”
“I heard one of his paintings once sold for a million!”
“His calligraphy is also good, with one piece being purchased by a wealthy person for eight hundred thousand.”
Suddenly.
Someone came to a realization:
“Why do I feel like Shu Ziwen is a bit like Fish Papa’s template?”
“Eh?”
“Now that you mention it, it does seem quite similar.”
“If you talk about proficiency in instruments, Fish Papa, as a Maestro, is well known for his piano skills; if you consider calligraphy skill, Fish Papa’s calligraphic achievements are also widely recognized, having been acknowledged by professional calligraphers; as for being well-versed in both letters and martial arts, Fish Papa’s literature is unquestionable, and ‘Tai Chi’ is martial enough; as for Shu Ziwen’s good looks, to be fair, in terms of looks alone, Shu Ziwen is at a star-level, whereas Fish Papa is beyond star-level.”
“Wow!”
“If we’re talking about the protagonist template, Fish Papa definitely deserves it more.”
“But Fish Papa hasn’t written any novels, right? Shu Ziwen’s novels are also quite popular in Zhao Continent.”
“Is there a fundamental difference between writing a screenplay and writing a novel?”
“Besides, can Shu Ziwen compose music, is he Maestro?”
“Alright, no more arguing. Fish Papa is indeed excellent, but we can’t just dismiss Shu Ziwen either. Calling him Little Xian Yu isn’t too much, right?”
“Pfft, Little Xian Yu?”
“Lu Sheng: No way, are they competing for this too?”
Shu Ziwen had suddenly become famous. Speaking of influence, he definitely couldn’t compare with Xian Yu.
…
Zhao Continent.
Shu Ziwen lay back in his calligraphy chair, flipping through various comments about him online, his lips gradually curving into a smile.
He knew he had become popular.
Though he was also quite surprised. freewebnoveℓ.com
But it felt pretty nice.
Suddenly.
He saw a comment: “This Shu Ziwen got famous too abruptly; it must be a marketing trick.”
Shu Ziwen curled his lips.
Firstly, he hadn’t done any marketing, and secondly, his achievements weren’t fake — they were genuinely earned.
Moreover…
His rise wasn’t abrupt.
It had just been limited to Zhao Continent before.
But now, thanks to the poetry congress, his influence had spread to other continents.
So.
For such comments, Shu Ziwen didn’t even get angry, he just found them amusing.
Frogs in a well love their wild imaginations.
Continuing to scroll through comments.
Another message popped up in Shu Ziwen’s view:
“I declare Shu Ziwen is officially my No. 2 male god as of today!”
This message had three replies:
“Let me guess, your No. 1 male god must be Fish, right?”
“Hahaha, everyone really likes Shu Ziwen.”
“Little Xian Yu rocks!”
For the first time, Shu Ziwen’s brow furrowed.
Little Xian Yu?
Second male god?
He felt slightly uncomfortable.
Of course, he knew about Xian Yu.
But he didn’t think he was inferior to Xian Yu!
Being called “Little Xian Yu” annoyed him.
He was a favored son of the heavens.
That pride wouldn’t allow him to concede to any of his peers.
Yes.
He and Xian Yu were peers.
Xian Yu was twenty-five.
Shu Ziwen was twenty-eight.
They weren’t much different in age.
“Good.”
Shu Ziwen suddenly raised an eyebrow: “Meeting at the poetry congress should be interesting.”
Unexpectedly.
Aside from that monstrous talent from Zhong Continent, there were also other young talents who could be compared with him.
“Ziwen.”
His father’s voice came from the side: “The poetry congress has finalized some of the rules. Each continent will have ten literati participate, totaling eighty contestants. I hope you can bring a good ranking home for our family.”
“Top three.”
Shu Ziwen held up three fingers.
His father chuckled: “You’ve really surpassed me now.”
He also felt proud of his son: “There’s someone at this poetry congress you should watch out for…”
“Xian Yu, right?”
“It looks like you’ve been paying attention.”
“He’s indeed talented, but I will beat him. By the way, have the judges been confirmed?”
“They said they’re going to officially announce it soon, but it’s obvious without guessing. They’ll definitely be those old men from the Literature and Art Association.”
“Right, need to research the judges in advance.”
Shu Ziwen said with a smile, then searched up the official account of the Literature and Art Association on his phone.
Sure enough.
The judges had been decided.
An Long…
Yu Chang…
Qin Xiaotian…
The first eight were literary elders from various continents, all holding positions in the Literature and Art Association, so their credibility was solid.
Then there was the ninth.
Shu Ziwen smiled as he looked on, then his smile suddenly froze, his eyes widening!
“Xian Yu!?”
Shu Ziwen was instantly dumbfounded!
The opponent he was preparing to defeat was…
a judge!?
