"start."
Without much thought, Ye Qiu began to write.
It took Ye Qiu eighteen minutes to finish writing this article.
After finishing writing, Ye Qiu read it through and was very satisfied.
The entire text, consisting of 600 characters, is written in classical Chinese and quotes from more than a dozen poems, vividly and passionately expressing the author's patriotism and love for his country.
That's it.
After writing the six large characters "Ye Qiu of Jiedao Academy" at the beginning of the scroll, Ye Qiu stood up and asked, "May I ask where the scroll is submitted?"
His words immediately attracted widespread attention.
"He's about to hand in his paper? There are still more than ten minutes left."
"This guy didn't even check; he's a bit arrogant."
Many people were whispering among themselves.
At this moment, a female assistant from the competition walked over and said with a smile, "Give me the exam paper, and I will submit it to the three masters for grading and enter it into the system for you."
"good."
Ye Qiu handed the exam paper to his assistant and then walked straight to Wu Daofeng and the others.
"Boss, how's it going? Are you confident?" Tian Hao asked hurriedly.
"It should be alright," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Big Brother will definitely crush all the contestants in the first round," Zhang Dekao said with a smile.
“I agree. These oddballs, whether in a martial arts contest or a literary contest, would be no match for Brother Ye,” Gu Si also said.
"That's hard to say," Wu Manman said calmly. "We'll only know when the results are out. Let's wait and see; we'll know the results in two hours."
"Teacher Wu, you have to have some faith in me," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Ha, with your mind always on your female assistant, what good grades can you possibly get?" Wu Manman mocked.
Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback, then grinned mischievously: "Are you jealous? Teacher Manman, you're a teacher, you know. If you like a student, that's against human ethics."
"Pah, who likes you? Get lost."
Wu Manman blushed and glared at Ye Qiu.
"Alright, alright, you two calm down. You're both grown up, yet you act like children. Quietly wait for the results to be announced," Wu Daofeng said calmly, closing his eyes to rest.
The wait was long, but as all the students handed in their papers, the three masters began grading them.
Meanwhile, the female assistants on site immediately entered the test papers into the system one by one for the computer to score and record the results.
Finally, two hours later, all the exam papers were graded.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The results of the first round are in, and we will announce the results of the next round."
On stage, Wang Xiaocao held a microphone, and her beautiful voice resonated throughout the venue.
Everyone looked up at the platform and saw that the three masters had also ascended it.
Furthermore, a huge screen behind the platform lit up.
"Your scores will be displayed one by one on the big screen, including detailed answers. Please note that if the computer's rating is higher than the three masters' rating, then the eighteen literary seniors present will vote on the controversial exam paper."
Now, let's invite our three masters to reveal the secret to everyone." Wang Xiaocao gestured to the three masters.
"Then I'll go first." An old man in purple robes stepped forward, holding a stack of test papers in his hand, looking somewhat excited: "Hello everyone, I am Li Yuanxiu. It is an honor to announce the results for you here. In this year's literary competition, a dark horse has emerged among our participants, and we will reveal the answer to you in a moment."
Now, I will announce the results. The first contestant is from the Chang family, named Chang Tao. He was evaluated on all three questions and his score was C, which is below B. He is therefore unqualified and eliminated.
Now, let's take a look at his computer rating.
Li Yuanxiu turned around and pointed to the big screen.
On the large screen, Chang Tao's overall rating was displayed in a timely manner: Grade D.
Grade D, which is even lower than the ratings of the three masters.
This also means that Chang Jia and Chang Tao's fate of being eliminated is already sealed and cannot be reversed.
In the crowd, a young man clenched his fists, his face grim, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.
"The second person, Ma Si from the Ma family, achieved a Grade B overall score, which is satisfactory. Please check the computer's rating."
Li Yuanxiu then announced the second person's score.
On the big screen, the second person's rating was quickly displayed, and it was the same as the three masters' scores, both being Grade B.
"Congratulations, Ma Si! Your computer rating is B, the same as the three masters. You've successfully advanced to the next round. Your poetry is excellent, very good. Congratulations!" Wang Xiaocao, the host, spoke up at the right moment.
The audience members below the stage were also observing Ma Si's poems, and many nodded in agreement.
"I didn't expect Ma Si to actually have some talent."
"I heard that Ma Si has been studying literature since childhood and could compose poems at the age of ten. His reputation is well-deserved."
"His poem 'Ode to the New Moon' is indeed extremely good."
Praises rang out continuously, and many people cast envious glances at Ma Si.
Twenty minutes later, Li Yuanxiu had finished reading the exam papers and handed over the task of announcing the results to the second master, Xin Qubing.
Xin Qubing was a famous battlefield poet during the Long Dynasty and was very popular.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a cheer erupted from the audience.
Xin Qubing, with a serious expression, didn't say anything else and went straight to the point, quickly announcing the scores of each contestant.
Of course, if a contestant achieved good results, Xin Qubing would pause the session, read the contestant's work aloud on the spot, and interpret the poem and article together with the other two masters.
Soon, forty minutes passed, and Xin Qubing finished reading the exam paper in his hand. It was the turn of the third master, Zhao Mo.
Without a doubt, Ye Qiu's achievements were also in Zhao Mo's hands.
