Everlasting Immortal Firmament Book 04 Chapter 064: Strong Wind and Rain Accompanying the Brush Strokes, the Poem Manifests Crying Supernatural Beings

When the first four lines of “Chivalrous Legends” appeared, they immediately overwhelmed “The Army Returns on Arriving in the Han Nation.”

Even those not familiar with the calligraphy Dao could tell. The noble spirit from “The Army Returns on Arriving in the Han Nation” dimmed, appearing like a brooklet trying to compete with a large lake in volume. It simply overestimated itself.

However, the people who understood the calligraphy Dao experienced it on a deeper level. This was especially so for the lines that said, “Even with an enemy every ten paces, they continue killing these enemies for great distances. They brush off their clothes and leave after accomplishing their goal, not claiming credit or fame for their role.” The moment these two lines appeared, these people no longer wanted to look at “The Army Returns on Arriving in the Han Nation.”

As the saying goes, there is no first in culture, and there is no second in the martial arts. In a martial competition, one could determine a winner. However, it was difficult for one to determine a winner in a cultural competition, as everyone had an appreciation for different things. Some people might like a particular essay, while others might prefer another. Judgment was subjective, and a clear victor could not be determined.

[TL Note: This saying says there is no second for the martial arts because everyone only has eyes for the winner and none for the second place. It is not saying there is no literal second place. Essentially, it is saying that a martial arts competition is objective while a cultural competition is subjective.]

“Chivalrous Legends” described a vivid image of the chivalrous legends in merely four lines.

Just the first four lines already utterly crushed “The Army Returns on Arriving in the Han Nation.” However, it was not over yet. Gu Hai was still reciting.
