The scholars on the mountain were striving to climb and think, while the scholars at the foot of the mountain were engaged in heated discussions. Like Fang Yun, they had also deduced that this year's climb to Book Mountain was more challenging than usual, and they were speculating how far Fang Yun could go.

"In the past, geniuses like Yan Yukong only reached the third mountain and the third pavilion. Given the increased difficulty of Book Mountain this year, even if Fang Yun's talent equals Yan Yukong's, I'm afraid he can only reach the first pavilion of the third mountain."

"You're right. I admit that in terms of talent, Fang Yun can be compared to our Yan Yukong from Qing Nation. But don't forget, Yan Yukong, although a native of our Qing Nation, is a collateral descendant of Yan Zi. After becoming a child scholar, he was sent to the Yan family for cultivation. What he learned is beyond Fang Yun's reach. I doubt Fang Yun can even climb the third mountain."

"You people from Qing Nation are really impressive. Just now, our Jing Nation's 'Courage to Write' shocked you, killing more than ten of you. How impressive! At this year's Dragon Boat Literature Conference, it seemed that Yan Yukong was completely suppressed by Fang Yun. Truly, no one can compare to Fang Yun."
