When the host finished announcing the challenge of the Flower Flying Order, Yuan Yuan’s heart immediately relaxed.
Thankfully, she had prepared for this.
So next, she quickly responded, "When flowers fall, we meet again!"
"River in spring, flowers at dawn, autumn moon at night!"
Naturally, those who had come to compete had prepared for this segment.
Soon, everyone took turns adding their lines in rapid succession.
However, there were still twenty contestants, and after each had contributed a line of poetry, three or four rounds had quickly used up most people’s reserve of poetry.
Finally, in the fifth round, a contestant repeated a line and lost a point.
After that, even more people made mistakes.
Not only did they have to come up with a corresponding poem, but they also had to ensure it hadn’t been used before, which was a real test of the contestants’ memory.
Even though Yuan Yuan had prepared early and memorized many poems related to the Flower Flying Order, she too eventually made a mistake and accidentally repeated a line.
As time passed, many contestants simply couldn’t think of a suitable poem within five seconds and chose to pass directly.
Therefore, as the contest progressed, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more tense.
Sun Ze, sitting in the audience, held his hands tightly on his knees and silently chanted, "Go Su Qianxun, go! Another poem, another one! Hold on! We can win!"
But compared to Sun Ze’s current tension, Qianxun was utterly calm.
The Flower Flying Order was child’s play to her, what was there to fear?
Yanzhi had once hosted a wine order contest among the literati that lasted for several hundred turns.
Run out of memorized poems?
Just make one up on the spot!
However, the production team apparently didn’t say that self-created poems counted, so she had used only those written by others.
As the Flower Flying Order continued to circulate, the contest gradually narrowed down to a competition between two or three people.
It wasn’t until Qianxun’s turn ended that Yuan Yuan also failed to follow, and the Flower Flying Order came to an end.
The next second, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Spectacular! It was just spectacular!
At this point, the host Wen Wan also expressed her admiration, "This round of Flower Flying Order was simply splendid! Now, let’s see the final scores of our twenty contestants!"
"From Nanyang High School in S City, Su Qianxun, who is only 16 years old, recited a total of thirty-two poems!"
It was supposed to be a competition where everyone showcased their talent in poetry and exchanged knowledge, but now, it seemed to have turned into Su Qianxun’s solo performance!
Her performance was just too eye-catching!
"Contestant number three, Yuan Yuan also did very well, reciting a total of twenty-eight lines! Of course, the other contestants performed excellently as well. Thank you all for presenting us with a wonderful competition!"
Following Wen Wan’s words, the audience again applauded warmly.
At this time, Wen Wan regretfully asked the ten eliminated contestants to move to the elimination zone to continue watching the battle.
The final round then began.
In the quick response challenge, contestants often buzzed in after hearing only half of the question, which led to much controversy over this segment.
To make this phase fairer and to encourage the contestants to be more cautious when buzzing in, the quick response became a matter of the host completing the question and prompting with "begin answering" before allowing contestants to buzz in.
Moreover, a new rule deducting two points for a wrong answer made this segment even more exciting to watch.
