Du Ning said very disapprovingly: "Young Master Tang has done all the bad things. Even if he is a man of literary courage, he will be as brittle as a piece of fried tofu. The result will be the same whether he uses it or not."

Tang Hao suddenly showed anger: "Arrogant! Do you dare to underestimate my literary courage?"

"I allow you to use literary style, so as not to accuse me of bullying you."

Du Ning looked proud, as if he didn't take Tang Hao seriously.

"Presumptuous!"

Tang Hao was furious. He was a noble man, but he was so despised by Du Ning. This really hurt his self-esteem too much.

"This is a courtroom. If you dare to yell again, be careful and I will ask the yamen to slap you in the face." Du Ning sneered.

"Are you just going to rely on your title of seventh-grade Viscount? Shameless!" Tang Hao scolded.

"Aren't you also using Hedao Mansion to roam the countryside? Now you know how shameful it is?" Du Ning retorted.

"Haha..."

The people burst into laughter.

Tang Hao suddenly became angry from embarrassment. He looked at Du Ning with his eyes and burst out with anger.

In public, he was laughed at by the people.

Tang Hao was filled with hatred.

Wang Yang ordered: "Come here, bring a pen and paper, and sign a document for you two."

"Yes, sir."

The yamen servant immediately took out paper and pen, signed the fighting documents for Du Ning and Tang Hao respectively, and stamped their respective merit seals.

After the two signed the fighting letter, the government servant immediately backed away.

The scholars who were kneeling on the ground also stood up and stood back.

"Master Du really wants to fight with Tang Haowen. He fights with the rich and powerful for our common people. We have to cheer for him."

"That's right! Mr. Du stood up for us, and we should give him the greatest encouragement."

"Come on Mr. Du! Come on Mr. Du!"

Countless people shouted.

"Brother Li, can Mr. Du, with his strength as a ninth-rank scholar, be better than Tang Hao, an eighth-rank scholar?" someone asked Li Changsheng.

"I don't know, but Mr. Du seems to be very confident in his talent."

Li Changsheng said solemnly: "Du Ning has written many excellent works, and his talent and strength should not be weaker than that of Ju Ren, but if Tang Hao uses literary boldness despicably and shamelessly, Du Ning will have no chance of winning."

"If Tang Hao dares to use literary courage to win, I will give him a 'polite greeting' once I see him."

"You're right! The winner is determined by fighting with literature. If he wins without using force, no matter who he is, he can be blamed."

Others echoed.

Wang Yang was still sitting in his official position, looking at the two people with a slightly serious expression.

Behind the screen, Governor Tang He quietly poked his head out, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a deep look of contempt and disdain.

"In today's battle, we must let these humble scholars know how powerful our powerful people are!" Tang Hedu thought proudly.

Du Ning and Tang Hao stood opposite each other.

Tang Hao chuckled and said to Du Ning: "Master Du, I once heard that you established Mingzhou with your poems and subjugated the country with your articles. You even wrote the "Thousand-Character Essay" and it was used as an enlightenment textbook in the National Academy of Sciences. It is also a well-known teacher in Nanping Mansion.

Number one, but I didn’t expect that you would be so overestimating your capabilities and dare to fight with me. If I, Tang Hao, can’t beat you today, I can just kill you with a piece of tofu.”

"You really can't defeat me." Du Ning smiled.

"Arrogant! Today I will let you know the talent and power of the Eighth Grade Juren!"

After Tang Hao finished speaking, a powerful force of talent emitted from Wen Palace, turning into an invisible blade and slashing towards Du Ning.

"Du will wait and see."

Du Ning stood there, his talent turned into an upright bamboo, and he remained unwavering despite the impact of Tang Hao's talent.

"Talent leads to bamboo! This must be the power of Du Gongzi's "Bamboo and Stone"!" Li Changsheng said in surprise.

"Okay!"

The students of Hanyi Club are very energetic.

"Is this the only extent of Mr. Tang's talent? It's really eye-opening." Du Ning sneered.

Tang Hao was even more angry: "You do have some ability, but don't be too happy too early. I am an eighth-rank scholar and I will definitely beat you!"

"Really!"

Du Ning took a step forward, and his powerful talent and power burst out, instantly suppressing Tang Hao's talent and power.

At this moment, Tang Hao felt that Du Ning's talent turned into a strong wind, constantly attacking his Wen Gong.

Tang Hao's expression changed greatly.

"Impossible!"

"Your talent and strength cannot possibly defeat mine!"

"You cheated!"

Tang Hao let out an angry roar, unable to believe that his talent and strength could not compare to Du Ning's.

"It's ridiculous! To deal with a guy like you, do you still need to cheat?" Du Ning said scornfully.

"That's unreasonable!"

Tang Hao said loudly: "My Lord, Du Ning must have used some method to cheat. I will crush his Wen Gong with his literary courage and give me justice!"

"What did you say! You want to destroy Mr. Du Wen Gong!"

"Beast! You really still have to use the power of literary courage!"

"Despicable and shameless!"

The expressions of many Hanyi Club students changed drastically. Wen Gong is the foundation of Confucianism and Taoism. Once it is destroyed, Du Ning's Confucianism and Taoism will most likely stop here.

Because it is impossible for a half-saint to sacrifice his holy power to rebuild Wen Palace for Du Ning.

"Well said! Du Ning cheated first, and it is only natural to use his literary courage to destroy his literary palace!"

Tang Hedu was secretly excited. Although it would be cruel to do so, the two of them had already signed a letter of struggle. Even if an accident occurred, they could use their fame to offset most of their guilt.

Wang Yang did not speak, but stared at Du Ning with his eyes.

He found that Du Ning was still confident and not in any panic.

"Does Du Ning still have some tricks up his sleeve?"

Wang Yang's heart skipped a beat, and a bad warning surged up.

"Haha..."

Tang Hao laughed loudly and said: "Du Ning, anyone who opposes me will not have a good end. Your Confucianism will stop here!"

As he spoke, he gathered his literary courage and crashed into Du Ning's literary palace.

The corner of Du Ning's mouth raised, still looking at Tang Hao with contempt, "You're asking for trouble!"

Tang Hao's laughter stopped suddenly. He felt as if his bile was smashed by an egg on a stone. There was a "click" sound and the bile cracked.

"Poof!"

Tang Hao opened his mouth and vomited blood, and kept walking backwards, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You...you also have literary courage? And your literary courage is stronger than mine? How is this possible!"

"What! Du Ning actually has literary courage!"

In the dark, Governor Tang He was shocked and pale.

Just a ninth-grade scholar has condensed literary courage.

This kind of exception is very rare. Only scholars from semi-saint families or semi-saint disciples can gather their literary courage in advance when they are scholars.

But how could Du Ning, a student from a poor family, be able to gather literary talent in advance?

This is simply impossible!

"It turns out that Mr. Du also has literary courage, no wonder he dares to fight with Tang Hao in literature."

"Haha... Du Ning is a noble son from a humble family. He has accomplished many things that the rich and powerful can't do!"

"Du Ning is arrogant because he has the capital to be arrogant, but Tang Hao does not, so he will definitely fail."

The students of Hanyi Club turned from anger to joy, and many people clapped their hands and applauded when they saw Tang Hao vomiting blood.

Make a decision!

"So this is Du Ning's trump card!"

Wang Yang's expression was even more ugly. Du Ning was playing a trick of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, making Tang Hao unable to guard against it.
