Chapter 378: Chapter 379 All Eyes on Us_1

So under these circumstances, the only thing that could be done was to admit defeat.

"Ah, what a pity!"

"But Brother Changlin can still be proud, after all, he graduated in music and only encountered traditional Chinese studies for a while in high school. Losing isn’t a disgrace."

"Fortunately, he has already advanced to the next round, haha, my Brother Changlin is still very impressive!"

In the live broadcast room, many people were not optimistic about Li Changlin.

As for Qian Ziwei and Zhou Ziyu, both of them appeared extremely nervous and were no longer in the mood to pay attention to the comments in the live chat.

"Brother Changlin, you must come up with a response, my Little Meng Mei..." Zhou Ziyu prayed over and over again in her heart.

And Qian Ziwei, she was holding her mobile phone in one hand and clenching her fist with the other, silently cheering for Li Changlin.

"The young fellow probably won’t be able to respond."

"Ah, Elder Gu’s couplet is really marvelous!"

"If it were so easy to come up with a response, we old folks wouldn’t have been struggling with it for nearly five years!"

The other four judges standing opposite Li Changlin all had a flash of complex emotions in their eyes.

Honestly, they really hoped Li Changlin could come up with a response.

This unique couplet had been tormenting them for nearly five years!

"Young man." To tell the truth, at this moment, Elder Gu’s heart was quite apprehensive, but he was not the type to deliberately make things difficult for contestants. Seeing that Li Changlin had not immediately responded, he was ready to inform Li Changlin that it was okay not to force himself if he didn’t have an answer.

After all, this unique couplet was one that even the experts from the National Federation of Literary and Art Circles were at a loss to answer!

"I’ve got it, elder." Hearing Elder Gu’s voice, Li Changlin was jolted back to awareness.

Actually, he had been lost in thought moments before.

He truly admired the couplet presented by Elder Gu from the bottom of his heart.

Yet, he admired the "God Tycoon Cultivation System" from Earth even more.

This System was truly a treasure; it was even capable of solving such a unique couplet.

It was because of these considerations that Li Changlin had become distracted.

Now awakened by Elder Gu’s voice, he hastily smiled and said, "Elder Gu, please listen to my response: ’The sea, dawn after dawn brings the tide; the morning tide, dawn after dawn recedes.’"

"What?"

"That works too!"

As soon as Li Changlin finished speaking, the four judges who had been somewhat disappointed suddenly widened their eyes.

They looked at Li Changlin in amazement, their hearts filled with tremendous shock.

The response that Li Changlin had just given was indeed perfect, matching exactly the variation that Elder Gu had spoken of.

Marvelous, isn’t it so incredibly marvelous!

All four judges were internally exclaiming; they didn’t need to ask for Elder Gu’s opinion because in their circle, they themselves were big shots, standing at a very high position at the top of the pyramid.

So, after a bit of reflection, they had already recognized Li Changlin’s response as fitting.

However, the four of them certainly would not presume to have the final say.

After all, this unique couplet had been presented by Elder Gu, and for various reasons, it was certain they should respect him.

Therefore, the four of them did not pronounce whether Li Changlin’s response was acceptable or not but instead turned their heads together to look towards Elder Gu.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Elder Gu was actually shocked as well, and seeing the four people looking at him, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Actually, you already have the answer in your hearts, so there’s no need to mock me anymore."

"Haha, congratulations Elder Gu, cheers to Elder Gu," said the Half-Old Dame, who was the only female among the five judges and naturally spoke with much more ease. Then she raised her eyes to Li Changlin, "Contestant number ten, congratulations, you have once again successfully dealt with Elder Gu’s third twist."

"What, he really managed to counter it?"

"Damn awesome, right, my bro?"

"So amazing, my idol, you’re incredible, I like you."

"I love you, my idol."

Originally, many people had concluded that Li Changlin could not possibly match the third change, but to their surprise, reality slapped those people with a loud smack.

Li Changlin paid no heed to the jeering and mocking words, he picked up his weapon and let the facts speak for themselves.

Thus, after the female judge announced that Li Changlin had once again met the challenge of Elder Gu’s third change, the stage and the audience immediately became lively.

Many people, especially the women, were waving their slender hands and shouting words like ’my idol’ and ’handsome guy’.

The sight, the scene, was truly exhilarating.

Even the contestants on stage were infected by this atmosphere, standing up one by one.

It wasn’t clear who took the lead, but about a dozen contestants started to applaud, cheering for Li Changlin.

Whether they had already passed the finals and advanced, or failed and lost their right to advance, or even those contestants who had yet to compete, all clapped their hands sincerely and earnestly.

Many people had heard of Elder Gu’s peculiar couplet, but in all these years, no one had managed to counter it.

This couplet may appear simple on the surface, yet the response must carry a deep meaning, and, what’s more, the variations in Elder Gu’s couplet are just too numerous.

Hence, after a slight attempt, many lost the drive to continue countering it.

Only those genuinely interested in the essence of literature would spend days and nights studying this peculiar couplet.

But then, since it’s a peculiar couplet, how could it be easily countered?

However, today, Li Changlin had given everyone hope, and so they were all looking forward with anticipation.

"All right, then I will continue with the fourth change," Elder Gu naturally had no objections to what the female judge said.

As the surrounding noise subsided, he spoke up again.

Upon hearing this, Li Changlin hurriedly bowed with his hands in front and said, "Please speak, Elder Gu."

"This fourth twist is: ’Floating clouds swell, Changlin swells, Changlin’s swell fades away.’" Elder Gu did not hesitate, promptly giving out the couplet for the challenge.

After all, this peculiar couplet had been settled in his heart for many years, and having finally encountered someone who could match him today, he was very excited.

Hiss!

Hearing Elder Gu’s twist, regardless of whether they were on the stage or in the audience, everyone drew a sharp breath.

Only a few judges showed no change in expression, as they had already heard about this twist from Elder Gu; hence, although they couldn’t respond to it, they were not surprised.

"Can contestant number ten still come up with an answer?"

"My idol, please don’t let me down,"

"Brother Changlin, keep it up."

"Brothers, let’s send gifts, let’s use our actions to support Brother Changlin."

On stage, in the audience, and in the live broadcast, many were silently watching Li Changlin.
