Chapter 1545: Chapter 1248: I Bet Your Gun Has No Bullets

The next day.

Media across the continents.

"The Literature and Art Association states that several of Xian Yu’s new dances will become official competition events in a few years!?"

"Remember this historic moment!"

"Xian Yu ranks eighth on the Blue Star dance chart!"

"Music and dance flourish together!"

"Dual charts top ten? He’s in the top eight of both charts!"

"Genius? Prodigy? Legend?"

"The first celebrity in Blue Star’s history to be in the top eight of both charts since the establishment of the rankings!"

"Xian Yu’s journey in the dance world will continue!"

...

While news about Xian Yu could be seen everywhere across major continents.

Netizens from various continents were also passionately discussing this matter.

"Top eight on both charts is so fierce!"

"I previously thought Shadow could top the painting chart, making him the strongest among the Three Bros, but now it seems Xian Yu is not weaker than Shadow."

"Indeed."

"Shadow ranks first on the painting chart, Xian Yu is in the top eight of both charts, both of their achievements are highly valuable."

"These two are both prodigies!"

"Have you all forgotten about old rascal Chu Kuang?"

"Old rascal Chu Kuang seems almost invisible in the Three Bros these days."

"Chu Kuang’s achievements aren’t lacking, but he’s still just a gatekeeper in the top ten of the Blue Star writer’s chart. Compared to the other two’s ranking results, he indeed falls a bit short."

"Isn’t Chu Kuang taking on the world with his pen?"

"Aren’t there still two literary duels left to fight?"

"If he can win the next two matches, perhaps Chu Kuang can regain some respect."

"Hahaha, are the Three Bros competing with each other now?"

"Even if Chu Kuang wins one against ten, it’s just to regain some respect?"

"By the way, old rascal hasn’t made any moves for two months now."

"Where’s that one against ten literary duel he promised?"

"Why aren’t the last two opponents continuing to fight?"

"I suspect old rascal has run out of tricks. Defeating eight opponents in a row drains a lot of creative energy, and the remaining two opponents not taking the initiative to challenge him is precisely what he wants."

No one forgot about Chu Kuang’s global writing challenge.

Eight consecutive exhilarating victories made Chu Kuang unstoppable.

Many people were looking forward to the follow-up of the literary duel, hoping to see Chu Kuang take down the last two opponents.

Who would have thought.

Chu Kuang seemed to have disappeared in the past two months.

Even though he still had two opponents left unresolved, he hadn’t made any moves.

This was very unlike Chu Kuang’s decisive style.

As time went on, some couldn’t help but wonder.

Could Chu Kuang have run out of inspiration?

After all, defeating eight opponents consecutively isn’t easy.

If it weren’t for that reason, why else would Chu Kuang leave the last two opponents alone?

...

At home.

Lin Yuan naturally didn’t know the various speculations of netizens until Tong Shuwen specifically called to remind him.

"Boss."

"What’s up?"

"Has your new science fiction book been written? If it’s ready, you should publish it. This matter shouldn’t be delayed too long."

"What’s the situation?"

"It’s nothing major, just some trolls online spreading rumors, claiming that after your eight consecutive victories in the literary duel, your inspiration is almost exhausted, and you don’t have confidence to deal with the last two opponents from Zhong Continent, which is why you’ve been silent for two months."

"Ha?"

Lin Yuan chuckled at these words.

Chu Kuang indeed had been silent for two months.

The main reason was that he had been busy with dancing lately, and his writing time was heavily compressed.

Additionally, the base series was too lengthy; the prequel, main story, and sequel totaled seven parts, which inevitably delayed the process.

However, if he hadn’t recently transformed into Xian Yu and participated in "Our Song," coming up with so many dances, he would have finished writing the Galactic Empire Series and dealt with the last two literary duel opponents.

It’s a pity he can’t explain this to the outside world.

Lin Yuan could only prepare to publish the recently completed base series while checking the online situation.

As expected.

Just as Jin Mu had said.

Many people online had made similar remarks, saying that Chu Kuang’s inspiration for science fiction had run dry.

Not only that.

These folks were also urging Chu Kuang’s remaining two literary duel opponents to seize the opportunity to strike a fatal blow!

...

The last two literary duel opponents of Chu Kuang were from Zhong Continent.

One was called Chen Shi, and the other was Wen Shao.

At this time.

The comment section on Chen Shi’s blog.

"Charge!"

"Teacher Chen Shi, don’t be afraid!"

"Strike when he’s weak, take his life!"

"Chu Kuang hasn’t shown up for two months straight; it’s definitely because he doesn’t have any new works. If you act now, you can end his winning streak!"

"What are you afraid of!"

"Chu Kuang probably only has eight bullets!"

"The previous eight opponents have used up all his bullets!"

"Between you and Wen Shao, whoever strikes first will achieve the feat of defeating Chu Kuang!"

...

On the other side.

In the comment section of Wen Shao’s blog.

Not just people who disliked Chu Kuang.

Even Wen Shao’s own fans were instigating.

"Teacher Wen Shao, if you don’t strike, the meat will be eaten by Chen Shi. Now is Chu Kuang’s vulnerable period!"

"Take advantage of the opportunity!"

"Let me analyze it for you: with the old rascal Chu Kuang’s temperament, if he had any tricks up his sleeve, would you two have survived these two months?"

"Definitely not, right?"

"He must be out of tricks."

"Defeat Chu Kuang, and you’ll be the hero of all sci-fi writers on Blue Star!"

"Chu Kuang has never lost in a literary duel, aren’t you tempted to break this record yourself?"

"If you keep delaying, Chu Kuang will have new inspiration for his book!"

...

Temptation!

Instigation!

Appealing to emotions!

Reasoning!

All the netizens who disliked Chu Kuang saw Chen Shi and Wen Shao as the last hope. They truly believed Chu Kuang’s inspiration had run dry, which is why he hadn’t shown any action for the past two months.

Chen Shi was tempted.

Wen Shao was also tempted.

The two got together to chat.

"I think these people’s analysis makes a lot of sense; Chu Kuang hasn’t bothered with us for two months, could it be because he has no tricks left?"

"It’s possible."

"Then should I make a move?"

"Or should I go first?"

"Let me test the waters for you."

"I appreciate your kind offer, but if someone is destined to fall first, let me fall before you!"

Wen Shao said this.

Chen Shi rolled his eyes.

This dignified statement of Wen Shao’s was just a lot of talk, wasn’t it because he believed those netizens’ analysis and thought this was the best opportunity to defeat Chu Kuang?

Heh.

The honor of directly defeating Chu Kuang in a literary duel, do you think I’ll let you have such a good opportunity?

Thinking this.

Just as Chen Shi was about to say more, he suddenly saw Wen Shao’s blog update directly: "My new long-form sci-fi book ’Thunder’ will be published in a few days, please give your guidance!"

What the hell!

This guy!

No sense of fairness!

Chen Shi cursed, surprised that Wen Shao suddenly challenged Chu Kuang while he wasn’t paying attention!

On the other side.

Wen Shao’s smile bloomed: "Hesitation leads to defeat, strike when you should, old rascal Chu Kuang, I bet you’ve run out of bullets!"

Just then.

Wen Shao suddenly saw Chu Kuang posting a new update: "Galactic Empire Base Series is being uploaded."

Huh?

What’s this?

Wen Shao’s smile froze.
