"The key is not the literary duel, it’s that Chu Kuang is going to release a new book!"
"It’s just after the new year and his new book is about to co out, Master Lu and Xu Ping are crying in the restroom."
"Nothing more to say, cheering for Duanwu Ming!"
"Duanwu Ming is a top sci-fi writer in Qi Continent, he’s pretty skilled, there’s hope he can take down the old rascal this ti!"
"Certainly."
"Although the old rascal writes good sci-fi, compared to other genres, this is currently his weakest point."
"Duanwu Ming must be jumping for joy!"
"Hahaha, other writers must be so jealous, especially those sci-fi writers dreaming day and night of taking down Chu Kuang!"
"By the way, has the old rascal ever participated in a literary duel before?"
"Regarding this question, Mr. Leng Guang the mystery writer has sothing to say."
"No."
"This question should be best answered by the people of Yan Continent."
"What do you an?"
"I suggest you learn more about Chu Kuang’s life, and find out when this old rascal beca the Fairy Tale King of Blue Star."
"I’ll check it out now!"
"Is it another marvelous old scandal, like the Shadow incident?"

On the other side.
Writer circle.
"Chu Kuang is actually going to have a literary duel with Duanwu Ming?"
"Why is it Duanwu Ming, I’ve been asking for a literary duel with him, for two years now!"
"Two years is nothing."
"A few big-na writers have been keeping their invitation to a literary duel with Chu Kuang pinned on social dia for years, just waiting for this old rascal to respond."
"Duanwu Ming hit the jackpot with this move!"
"Not to ntion that he has a chance to win the duel, even if he loses he’s gained enough fa, without Chu Kuang, people outside Qi Continent aren’t really familiar with him."
"Jealous!"
"Hoping the old rascal will pick next ti!"
"Oh my!"
"Your dream may co true."
"What do you an?"
"Go check Chu Kuang the old rascal’s new status on the blog, sohow he’s suddenly gone mad!"
New status?
The writers across Blue Star’s continents felt a jolt in their hearts and eagerly opened the blog.
So writers who didn’t use the blog even hastily downloaded one.
And then.
Everyone was shocked by Chu Kuang’s new status, this old rascal has indeed gone mad!
...
Chu Kuang’s new status is:
"Including Teacher Duanwu Ming, I will select at least one sci-fi writer from each of Blue Star’s eight continents to accept the literary duel invitation, everyone is welco to co to the blog and challenge , I’ll take on ten."
As soon as the ssage went out!
The comnts section exploded!
"Is the old rascal crazy, or am I crazy, is sothing wrong with this world, how does he dare?"
"There’s nothing in this world he doesn’t dare to do!"
"The netizens from Han Continent, Zhao Continent, Wei Continent, and Zhong Continent might not be aware, back then Chu Kuang the old rascal took on nine in fairytales, single-handedly sweeping the Yan Continent fairy tale circle!"
"Right!"
"I rember it was during the nine-in-one challenge that Chu Kuang wrote ’Fairytale Town’, thereafter known as the Fairy Tale King of Blue Star!"
"Is there really such a story?"
"It’s true, I just checked!"
"Wasn’t the previous nine-on-one challenge enough?"
"I want to fight ten?"
"So there was such a feat as taking on nine, and he actually succeeded?"
"Have you all forgotten sothing?"
"Chu Kuang the old rascal’s feats aren’t just limited to his nine-on-one challenge in fairytales, he also published eight shocking short stories consecutively, known as the Super Octakill!"
"Monster!"
"Eight kills, nine-on-one, now looking to fight ten?"
"Is he completely disregarding so many sci-fi writers around the world?"
"If I were a sci-fi writer I’d absolutely confront him, even if you could take on nine fairytale writers, sci-fi isn’t a fairytale novel!"
"Do you still have to say that?"
"Those guys are already triggered, totally contemptuous, treating heroes all over the world as nothing!"
...
Just as the netizens predicted, the eyes of countless sci-fi writers across Blue Star turned red on the spot!
Provocation!
This is provocation!
Chu Kuang you bastard!
Who do you think you’re looking down on!?
We aren’t part of the Yan Continent’s fairy tale circle!
No matter how many writers you’ve taken down with fairytales, at least in the sci-fi turf, you Chu Kuang don’t have the qualifications to make such big talk!
They moved!
Countless sci-fi writers mobilized!
On the blog, countless sci-fi writers are ntioning Chu Kuang, so directly forwarding, and even running with their main account to his comnt section to leave ssages:
"Pick !"
"I’ll fight you!"
"No need for ten!"
"One person is enough!"
"Dare you to pick !"
"Afraid of you?"
"Co on co on co on co on co on!"
"I pinned my post for two years just to duel with you, now I sincerely ask you to teach a lesson, writing anything else is fine, but writing sci-fi I’m not afraid of you!"
"Arrogant!"
"Presumptuous!"
Many sci-fi writers are infuriated, Chu Kuang’s attitude is indeed very irritating, no wonder his readers hate him so much!
This includes sci-fi writers who have accounts on the blog.
Many sci-fi writers don’t even use the blog at all.
Seeing Chu Kuang’s new status, they must use the blog otherwise Chu Kuang may not hear their voices.
Register!
Register!
Register!
Many top sci-fi authors rushed to the blog to register accounts, and even used their main platform accounts to prove their identity in order to find Chu Kuang!
The entire internet was in an uproar!
...
At this mont.
The ones who understand these sci-fi authors the most, are the fairytale circle of Yan Continent.
Back then, the fairytale circle of Yan Continent was defeated by Chu Kuang alone, and they still haven’t gotten over it.
Seeing Chu Kuang’s declaration this ti:
I want to take on ten!
All the fairytale authors of Yan Continent felt the sa:
"History is repeating itself."
"What did he say when he had a literary duel with us back then?"
"He asked: Who else?"
"Awwooo!"
"Stop talking about it!"
"Even thinking about it now makes my head buzz. This guy is really sothing, he humiliated our Yan Continent’s fairytales so badly for so many years."
"Now, it’s the sci-fi genre’s turn."
"Does he dare to be so arrogant in sci-fi too?"
"Not only arrogant, he added people this ti!"
"Now he’s dood. He’s attracted many sci-fi authors who are even better than Duanwu Ming. Let’s see how he ends this!"
"Take on ten?"
"I think it’s ten people ganging up on him!"
Back then, Chu Kuang, with one fairytale, challenged nine, and it was almost as if he was saying to the entire Yan Continent fairytale circle:
You all co at together.
Today, Chu Kuang is using the sa old trick, as if saying to countless sci-fi authors on Blue Star:
You all co at together!
Sci-fi authors from various continents will surely tear him apart, won’t they?
...
They’ve already started!
All the sci-fi authors were howling with anger!
"Get him!"
"Can’t stand it!"
"If we endure this ti, it will be a great humiliation for all sci-fi authors!"
"I’ve never seen soone so arrogant in my life!"
"Let’s follow the literary duel rules."
"First, announce your work and na!"
"Let’s make him lose convincingly this ti!"
"Let’s make sure he never dares to write sci-fi novels again after this round!"
"It’s up to him to choose who, sci-fi authors from Wei Continent and Zhong Continent are participating, all top-notch masters!"
...
Choose who?
That is indeed a problem, there are too many sci-fi authors shouting to have a literary duel with him, Lin Yuan was stunned.
Why is everyone so worked up?
I’m not provoking you, aren’t you the ones who want a literary duel with ?
At this mont.
Jin Mu called again, his voice excited and breathless:
"Are you crazy?"
"Didn’t you say, Uncle Jin, that a new book should have so hype?"
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
Jin Mu was almost choked by this statent: "I ant sothing worth promoting in your new book, like making the emotional scenes or sothing else a major selling point, not for you to directly provoke the entire Blue Star sci-fi circle!"
"I didn’t provoke."
"I want to take on ten!"
Jin Mu was anxious: "Are you saying that?"
Lin Yuan was wronged: "Last ti it was nine, this ti it’s ten, there’s nothing wrong with that sentence."
Jin Mu was silent for a mont: "Say it again, I want to take on ten."
Lin Yuan was helpless: "I want to take on ten."
Soft and dull.
Completely lacking in montum.
Jin Mu knew what the problem was. It was like the misunderstanding from that ti with "who else", where the tone and context each expressed different anings.
Just like soone saying "haha" can be sarcastic, while soone else is just being friendly.
Lin Yuan was clearly the latter.
There have been too many misunderstandings caused by such reasons, just like early Prince of Lanling’s "unfiltered speech" effect.
"Alright, it is what it is, now think about how to end this."
"Isn’t it just a literary duel, ten people, I’ll write ten novels."
"That simple?"
"Not simple, writing ten novels, even if they are short stories, is very exhausting."
"I an, can you write them?"
"I probably can."
Lin Yuan was confident in his writing speed.
However, choosing the opponents is quite crucial.
Lin Yuan planned to write ten sci-fi stories, and there would definitely be differences in quality.
Luckily, this group of sci-fi authors also had varying levels of strength, so Lin Yuan planned to save his strongest sci-fi for the most powerful authors.
With this in mind.
Lin Yuan quickly took out a notebook and started selecting works.
"First, use ’The Country Teacher’."
"Then, ’Morning Road’."
"And ’With Her Eyes’."
"Definitely can’t forget ’Ball Lightning’."
"Oh right, ’One Day Prisoner’ is also good."
"Hmm, ’Supernova Era’."
"Big Liu’s work is plenty, like ’Full Spectrum Barrage Jamming’ and others."
"This wave can help clarify the Three-Body series, so it won’t feel abrupt when I bring it out later."
"Also need to find so from abroad."
"List more as backup options."
"Consider so of Asimov’s works."
Ten sci-fi stories.
Lin Yuan wanted to choose so shorter ones, and later release a complete Chu Kuang science fiction collection or sothing.
The opponents were also easy to choose.
Because these authors wanting a literary duel introduced their works clearly.
That was the rule of a literary duel.
You can’t submit a short story, and I submit a long one.
The genre and length should match for a direct comparison.
Lin Yuan sighed: "It’s decision paralysis, it’d be great if soone could give so advice."
