"Then what next?"
"Isn't it the same even if they continue competing?"
"Yea, there's no meaning to it if they continue to compete based on poetry."
"Why not tweak the rules a little and compete based on some other standard?"
"Master Zhou, let's not keep doing poetry. The opponent's advantage is too unfair. We are in the calligraphy field, so how could we possibly defeat someone in literature studies through poetry?"
"Right, we should change the format."
"As long as it isn't poetry, anything else is fine."
"Right, anything except poetry. He definitely won't be able to do well in other topics."
Everyone was convinced of the literary skills of the youth in shades. Since this was a calligraphy competition, they were unconvinced. Many of the calligraphers were embarrassed by this and were disputing the issue.
Master Zhou smiled, "If you want to continue competing, then please draw a lot from the box. There are still other topics in there besides poetry."
"Alright."
