The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 665 - 666: The Literary and Martial Duel

As for the martial arts competition, Liu Zixuan didn’t mind. Since the situation had already developed to this point, it had to continue in this direction.

The so-called fair and square meant standing out among the crowd. When Liu Zixuan became the most dazzling person here, that would be truly fair, and even the Willow Association would have nothing to say. They could only acknowledge Liu Zixuan’s strength!

At the same time, Liu Zixuan would also have the capital to stand shoulder to shoulder with these so-called top powerful families!

Bai Jingjing smiled and said, "I’m really looking forward to seeing what the scene will be after it starts. I just took a walk around the manor, and almost every young genius about our age is eager to try, all hoping to marry the Princess of the Willow Association."

Liu Zixuan grinned and said, "Some people want their families to become stronger, and some just want to take this opportunity for a meteoric rise to success."

"No matter the reason, as long as they can get connected with the Willow Association, there will be a qualitative change, whether it’s for the individual or the family power. You know, the Willow Association is a super powerful existence in the Star Sea."

At this point, Bai Jingjing paused, "But from what I hear, those families from abroad seem to have other intentions!"

"That’s not within our consideration for now!" Liu Zixuan said.

As they were chatting, the second Patriarch of the Willow Association, Liu Qianyun, appeared.

He walked past the crowd, nodding slightly to everyone, and stepped onto the large platform.

Taking a microphone from the manager’s hand, he cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, quiet down please!"

The people who were talking all turned to look at Liu Qianyun.

Liu Qianyun smiled at the crowd, "Distinguished guests are all present, so we, the Willow Association, will not waste any more time. First, we want to sincerely thank everyone for giving face to our Willow Association by coming to attend such a grand banquet!"

With that, he bowed to the crowd.

"Secondly, you all might already know that besides gathering everyone together before the festive season, there is one more important matter. That is to choose a prospective groom for the eldest young lady of our Willow Association!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Of course, the Princess of our Willow Association cannot be married off casually, and her future groom must be a paragon among men and a genius with boundless prospects."

"I won’t say more. Today we have talents from all around, even from abroad, and these family offspring are known geniuses in their respective fields. It will all depend on their own abilities to see who can stand out!"

Liu Qianyun took a deep breath, "Lastly, I’d like to discuss the arrangements for this competition!"

"Our Willow Association’s Princess cannot marry just a martial artist, nor only an intellectual, so he must be well-rounded, hence we have both literary and martial competitions!"

"Second Patriarch, is it like ancient exams?" someone asked.

Liu Qianyun laughed, "Not that strict, if it were like ancient times, it would take too much time. Everyone is busy, so who has that kind of leisure?"

"The literary competition won’t have you write essays and such; it will be simple, just duel with couplets and poems in a one-on-one PK to decide the top five. The martial competition is similarly straightforward and direct, one-on-one matches in the arena! The winners of both will get to go to the main hall and face the tests of our Patriarch and the two young misses."

Listening to him, everyone started discussing.

Bai Jingjing smiled and said, "It seems simple, but there’s hidden meaning, I’m afraid the preliminary matches are to weed out the impostors, the real challenge is after entering the main hall."

"Of course, otherwise with so many people, it’s impossible for Ruyan and Ying Qingning to test them one by one, that would take forever." Liu Zixuan shrugged, "But this also shows the Willow Association’s boldness, gathering so many talents to PK, if you win that’s fine, but losing would really harm relationships."

"The Willow Association doesn’t care about that; those reaching the end are geniuses among geniuses, who the Willow Association will support and nurture, becoming terrifying figures in the future, so they don’t care about others’ opinions." Bai Jingjing paused, "For now, let’s not think about the rest, you better concentrate on standing out in the literary and martial competitions. The literary competition might be fine; they won’t ask your names, but in the martial competition, if they know you’re Liu Zixuan, those talents will scramble to kill you!"

"Remember, there are only two spots to marry the Willow Association’s eldest young miss, and not everyone is getting a share. But the Willow Association said earlier that defeating or killing you will also earn a generous reward, making many eager for the reward."

Liu Zixuan shrugged slightly, "At this point, what else is there to fear? Fight if they want to fight, if they want to kill Liu Zixuan, it depends on whether they have the ability, and they might end up getting killed by me instead!"

Just as Liu Zixuan finished speaking, Liu Qianyun spoke again.

"The martial competition will happen later, let’s start with the literary competition to see everyone’s talent. Think of it as an appetizer."

Pointing with a smile to the right, Liu Qianyun shouted, "Tables and chairs are prepared over there, feel free to find opponents to compete with. I hope everyone can be conscious; losers should automatically withdraw to rest here, retaining the right to participate in the martial competition, but if those who lose the literary competition cause trouble, their martial competition qualification will be revoked!"

"Young geniuses, we’re looking forward to your performance. The set time is two hours, start now!"

With that command, everyone headed toward the tables and chairs on the right side of the lawn.

After all, being talents from various families and major powers, none behaved like ruffians or thugs, but rather found opponents and sat down with composure.

Liu Zixuan smiled at Bai Jingjing, "Wait here, this young master will leave none of them in one piece!"

"Better not let the first opponent stump you!" Bai Jingjing teased.

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "No one born yet can stump this young master!"

In about five or six minutes, most were seated at tables of four or three. Liu Zixuan glanced over and saw over twenty tables, estimating seventy to eighty people.

With a grin, he said, "Not a small competition, picking five out of seventy or eighty people, this will be interesting to watch."

"Of course, always boasting about being geniuses, today with this competition, we’ll see who’s who for real. The first round will eliminate many impostors." a nearby man coldly snorted.
