After listening to Li Pingyong's second couplet, Huo Xuesi was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he looked at Li Pingyong with anger: "Hmph... Li Pingyong, Li Pingyong, you are so brave, you dare to insult the gentleman lineage in front of the emperor and so many literary celebrities.

I see that water is in your head. I have really misunderstood my eyes before. I thought you were a talented person. I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant and vulgar. You are really a rotten wood that cannot be carved. If you retreat, you will be eliminated."

When Li Pingyong heard that he was eliminated, he was so angry that he was about to squirt blood. If Liu Hua hadn't thought of a second couplet with him again and again, he wouldn't have created two second couplets every time. If Liu Hua hadn't read the second couplet in front of him every time, then his time would not have been so nervous. As a result, Liu Hua has advanced and he has been wiped out.

While depressed and upset, Li Pingyong was also surprised that what happened today completely subverted his perception of things. Until now, he has not figured out what happened to his second couplet? Why did it become such a word?

Li Pingyong was very unwilling to give up and wanted to make a few words of excuses, but when he saw Emperor Kangxi sitting on the steps and the majestic inner guards around him, Li Pingyong did not dare to move. He rubbed his heart that was about to stop beating, and left the arena with a depressed expression.

The students next to him were all surprised to hear that Li Pingyong was actually eliminated. Looking at Li Pingyong with a look of distracted look, everyone couldn't help but point fingers at him and spoke out to discuss the reasons for his failure.

After retreating aside in shame, Li Pingyong had no time to take care of the eyes of the students around him. He carefully recalled the bad things he had done since childhood, and then identified them one by one to see if something offended the ghosts and gods, so he was retribution today?

Because Kangxi was sitting in the upper head, Huo Xuesi was worried that Li Pingyong's last second couplet would arouse Kangxi's dissatisfaction, so he did not hang out the second couplet, but used the reason for timeout to determine that Li Pingyong was eliminated.

After layers of competition, the eight people who finally passed the preliminary round were Liu Hua, Bai Xiaoyu, Wang Di, Li Xiaofeng, Duan Shiwen, Jia Mingshan, Wu Feiyu and Lu Jun.

Looking at the eight people in front of him, Huo Xuesi nodded with satisfaction: "You eight people can stand out among the crowd, which is enough to show your excellence, but the following competition will be even more cruel. I hope you can prepare.

The rematch will be held below. The questions of the rematch come from the classics, history, sciences, and collections. There are four questions in total. Later, you eight of you draw lots to choose your opponents and divide them into four groups to compete. The eight people eliminate each other. The remaining four people advance to the semi-finals. Now the draw will start. After determining their respective opponents, you will choose the topics in the order they sign."

After introducing the rules, Huo Xuesi instructed a book boy to take a wooden box. There were eight pieces of paper inside, and each piece of paper had a number written on it, namely one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

After the eight people pulled out the paper, they determined their opponents based on the numbers on the paper. The rules set by Huo Xuesi were: No. 1 vs. No. 8, No. 2 vs. No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6, and No. 4 vs. No. 5.

Seeing that everyone had heard the rules clearly, Huo Xuesi asked everyone to draw lots. Liu Hua was the fourth one. The piece of paper he drew had a "seven" written on it. It seemed that his opponent was number two. When everyone finished drawing, Liu Hua finally confirmed his opponent, and Wu Feiyu was the one who drew the second.

The lineups of the eight-player team are Wang Di vs Lu Jun, Wu Van Yu vs Liu Hua, Bai Xiaoyu vs Jia Mingshan, and Duan Shiwen vs Li Xiaofeng.

After the lineup was divided, Huo Xuesi began to assign the competition questions in the order of the first four digits. Huo Xuesi put the letter paper containing the questions in an envelope, and each envelope contained scriptures, history, science, collections, and several words respectively.

The topics assigned by Wang Dina's group are related to "Classic", the topics assigned by Liu Hua's group are related to "History", while the topics assigned by Bai Xiaoyu and Duan Shiwen are related to "Si" and "Collection".

Seeing that his opponent was Liu Hua, Wu Feiyu smiled contemptuously and said, "Young Master Liu, you are not very lucky. You are actually an opponent of me. I will eliminate you in front of everyone. I want everyone to know that I am better than you."

"You don't have that ability." After saying this, Liu Hua looked at Wu Feiyu with a smile: "Wu Dazi, did you match the couplet I used to test you before? Your famous Wu Feiyu wouldn't be stumped by my first couplet, right?"

When Wu Feiyu heard this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face: "Hmph... that first couplet is very simple, but I don't have time to unblock the couplet now. After the game is over, I will inform you of the second couplet."

While the two were fighting here, Huo Xuesi spoke: "Now you eight have been divided into four groups. You can open their own questions at this moment. Because your questions are different, there is no time limit for this round of competition.

Among your four groups, the first player who gave the answer will win. I would like to remind you that players who are knowledgeable, quick-witted and quick-study will have the advantage, so you have to be careful and start answering questions now."

With Huo Xuesi's order, the four groups of contestants opened the envelopes containing their respective questions. After reading the questions on the letter, all contestants frowned and looked at them with thoughts.

The title of Liu Hua and Wu Feiyu is to let the two write down the dynasties in Chinese history in the shortest time, and the person who writes it out the fastest will win without missing the dynasty.

After seeing this question, Liu Hua fell into memories. When he was in school in his previous life, he learned a dynasty song about ancient history in his primary school history class. However, because the time was too long, he couldn't think about it for a moment, so Liu Hua was recalling the dynasty song carefully.

After Wu Feiyu saw the title, he thought for a moment and began to count dynasties in his heart. While he was silently counting dynasties in his heart, he wrote records with his pen, Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Western Zhou Dynasty, and Eastern Zhou Dynasty. When he wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period, he saw Liu Hua still frowning and thinking.

Seeing this, Wu Feiyu was secretly happy and said to himself: "It seems that this Liu surnamed Liu is stumped? He has not started writing yet. Judging from this, this victory must be me."

But Wu Feiyu had just been proud of her for a moment, and the smile on his face suddenly stopped because he saw Liu Hua pick up his pen and start writing about the dynasty.

After Liu Hua picked up the pen, he wrote directly on the paper based on his memories: Xia, Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou were divided into two sections. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, unified Qin and Han Dynasties. Three parts of Wei, Shu and Wu, and the two Jin Dynasties were established before and after. The Southern and Northern Dynasties were established, and the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties were passed down. The Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the dynasty was formed here.

After writing, Liu Hua raised his hand to signal his answer. At this time, Wu Feiyu wrote about the Jin Dynasty. Seeing Liu Hua raise his hand and handing the paper, he was immediately panicked and kept praying in his heart, hoping that there would be any mistakes in Liu Hua's answer.

Kangxi, who was sitting on the steps watching the game, saw Liu Hua raise his hand and hand over the paper in such a short time, then asked Yuan Hai curiously: "Who is this boy?"

After hearing Kangxi's inquiry, Yuan Hai chuckled and said, "This boy is also a wonderful person. I was deceived by him once before. It was not until this morning that I learned that his true identity was from Qingshi County, Yangzhou Prefecture, with his surname as Liu Minghua, and he was fifteen years old this year."

"Oh? He is Liu Hua? Haha..." After responding with a smile, Kangxi stopped talking, but his eyes stayed on Liu Hua a few more times.
