Florian then scanned the surroundings before he smiled and said, “Only those with good literary skills can pass to the next round!”
The contestants then frowned and were deep in thought.
‘F*ck, this is a little similar to the imperial examination in ancient times.’
Darryl muttered secretly at that moment. He did not know whether to laugh or cry! He was still alright with writing but was unfamiliar with the ancient writing style.
‘Yes!’
Darryl suddenly thought of something amidst his conflict as his eyes brightened. He spoke to Pang Tong in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, “Pang Tong, can you write such essays?”
“Haha…” Pang Tong laughed relaxedly. “Master, don’t worry. This is a piece of cake to me.”
A simple essay piece was but a simple matter to him as a famous strategist par with Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms.
Pang Tong pondered for a while before saying, “Let’s write a piece on… Formations then.”
“Hmm!” Darryl nodded before immediately instructing and said, “By the way, just write something ordinary so we could just pass the preliminary. It doesn’t need to be too great!”
‘F*ck!’
The New World Emperor was watching from above and he could not show off too much. Darryl’s true identity might be exposed if he wrote too well and was noticed by the Emperor.
“Yes, Master!”
Pang Tong responded and thought for a while before starting to dictate the essay. Darryl wrote as Pang Tong spoke at a time.
“Wow…”
He was halfway through when the audience screamed again.
“Kilenc has handed in his paper!”
“So fast! No wonder he’s a genius!”
“I’m sure he’ll stand out among the rest…”
“Only such a talented genius will be a match for the beautiful Princess…”
‘Heh!’ Darryl sneered in detest upon hearing their discussions.
Even if Kilenc was talented, it was still uncertain whether he would be the literary competition’s champion.
Darryl had the help of Pang Tong after all.
Many contestants started handing in their essays soon after. Darryl followed suit and handed in his.
Of course!
Even though Pang Tong wrote the essay casually, he still easily passed through the preliminary as Darryl expected.
