Chapter 254: Chapter 238: Chu Kuang’s Outcome_1
I got the wrong account!
Lin Yuan felt a little bit sad.
Falling off the horse because of this little thing would of course be too much.
Whether it’s Chu Kuang or Admirable Fish coming up with the lower couplet, it’s not a surprising thing.
After all, these two aliases both have a reputation for being talented now.
But the problem is gaining followers!
Because it’s Admirable Fish who came up with the couplet.
Wouldn’t all the fans then go to Admirable Fish?
What does Admirable Fish need so many fans for…
There’s no mission…
While Lin Yuan was caught up in his sadness, the netizens had already started commenting.
However, many people didn’t know what was the deal with Admirable Fish’s lower couplet.
What the hell does this lower couplet mean?”

You can’t tell at all from the surface.
“Did Teacher Admirable Fish screw up?”
The upper couplet clearly has some hidden meaning.
Hahahahaha, I’m gonna die of laughter, The King of Kings is from the movie ‘Flirting Scholar’, it can be said without Admirable Fish there hasn’t been this couplets craze, as a result, isn’t it funny that the couplet game got too hard it even stumped Admirable Fish himself?”
I feel like I could give it a shot.
This can’t be considered a mess up. The upper couplet clearly has a deeper meaning. Not to mention that Teacher Admirable Fish couldn’t come up with it, even the literary giants in the tribe currently can’t come up with anything either.”
And in the midst of everyone’s discussion.
The official Weibo of King of Kings even (©Lin Yuan, posting a thumbs-up emoji and accompanying it with text.
As expected of Teacher Admirable Fish, we invited a few professionals in the industry for a discussion, and this lower couplet just barely made the cut.”
The netizens were all stunned.
This lower couplet, made the cut?
Immediately after, a teacher named Feng Changsheng from the Literature and Art Association also (©Admirable Fish, and praised.
This lower couplet is awesome, I just solved the riddle of the upper couplet, Teacher Admirable Fish has already thought of the lower couplet, the reading of the upper couplet, should be [sea water tide, tide by tide, tide falls tide after tide], this is a typical homophonic couplet, and the reading of Teacher Admirable Fish’s lower couplet should be [drifting cloud rises, always rising, always rises always fades].”
The bystanders were stunned!
So this is how you read the upper couplet?
At this moment, many netizens felt a sense of their IQbeing crushed, so we didn’t even figure out how to read the upper couplet, but Teacher Admirable Fish already came up with the lower couplet, this is too terrifying, isn’t it?
Wait.
Barely made the cut?
Everyone knows that a couplet needs to be a perfect echo, Teacher Admirable Fish’s couplet is both neat and symmetrical, but King of Kings’ official Weibo only considers this lower couplet to have barely made the cut, then may I ask, does the official have a better lower couplet?”
Yeah.
“Is there anything wrong with Teacher Admirable Fish’s couplet? According to Teacher Feng Changsheng’s interpretation, I think this lower couplet is already very perfect, each sound rhymes perfectly!”
Netizens couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
Since it’s a perfect match, why does the official say that Teacher Admirable Fish’s lower couplet is barely satisfactory?
Many people went to ask under the official’s post.
Some also asked Feng Changsheng, but Feng Changsheng’s response was: “I don’t know either.”
Feng Changsheng doesn’t know either?
The netizens began to suspect that the official was up to something.
In the face of the netizens’ confusion, King of King’s official Weibo responded again: “We didn’t mean to offend Teacher Admirable Fish, it’s just that our upper couplet actually has another reading, and Teacher Admirable Fish only got the first reading correct, The second reading is [sea water tide, tide day by day, day by day the tide falls], additionally, we also admit that this upper couplet is indeed very difficult, because after we came up with the upper couplet, we couldn’t even come up with a matching lower couplet.”
Netizens: “…
Are they going to rub our intelligence on the ground?
The reading and word choice of the official’s upper couplet has changed, and the artistic conception has undergone a dramatic change immediately. It’s clear that the upper couplet is still ‘The sea water rises day by day’, but in actuality, it has formed another couplet!
This upper couplet is dope!
Admirable Fish did his best.
To be able to decipher the first reading and come up with a responsive lower couplet, Admirable Fish is already very impressive, after all, this upper couplet has stumped many professionals in the literary world, let alone the fact that even the officials said they couldn’t come up with a matching lower couplet.”
Admirable Fish is still awesome.
The couplet that the officials couldn’t match, Admirable Fish was able to come up with something, which is enough to prove Admirable Fish’s literary talent. Can I just say, worthy of the screenwriter who wrote the classic poems and couplets in ‘Flirting Scholar’?”
Although the official rating for Lin Yuan’s lower couplet wasn’t very high, everyone already thought this lower couplet was awesome enough. However, what dazzled all the netizens was that Chu Kuang appeared at this time!
Where is the mistake?
In front of countless netizens, Chu Kuang (© the official account of King of Kings: “Your lower couplet can change, Admirable Fish’s lower couplet naturally can also change, this lower couplet can also be read as [drifting cloud rises, rises long and long, long and long rises and fades].”
Holy crap!
You can play it like that?
The netizens were initially convinced by the official, believing that Admirable Fish’s lower couplet was indeed less than perfect. They did not expect that Chu Kuang would actually step into the arena and directly move the perfect interpretation to slap the official’s face with a loud pop!
Motherfucker!
That works too?
They match again?”
Is it neat this time?
This lower couplet from Admirable Fish is freaking awesome. After Chu Kuang’s explanation, it’s freaking perfectly matched again. Only Chu Kuang can keep up with his thinking in this wave. We just can’t react.”
Did the officials just get slapped in the face?
Clearly, the officials had no intention of admitting it.
They surprisingly changed the reading of the upper couplet for a third time: [Sea water rises, day by day it rises, day by day it falls!]
My God!
It can still change?
Just as netizens were stunned, Chu Kuang once again made a move: [Drifting cloud rises, long and long and long it rises, long and long it fades!]
Netizens: “.
Are you guys playing snake?
The officials responded a little slower this time. This is the fourth change in reading: “Sea water tide, tide day by day, day by day it falls!”
Continue on.
Chu Kuang wasn’t showing any signs of stopping, “The cloud grows long, it grows and grows, then it grows and fades!”
What the hell!
Was this the fourth time?
How many variations could there be?
Indeed there were more, both sides kept coming up with new variations. The spectators online felt like they were watching the scene from a movie where Tang Bohu and Dui Chuanchang engage in a couplet battle. No one had a chance to comment. They were stunned by the showdown, their eyes couldn’t keep up…
Actually…
Not only the netizens…
On the King of Couplets’ side, they were also stumped. They thought no one could respond to their endless variations of the upper couplets, yet they found that Teacher Admirable Fish’s lower couplets varied just as much and could easily dismantle each move they made!
The official channel of King of Couplets conceded defeat.
Up to this point in the battle, the officials of King of Couplets still had some variations of the upper couplet that they hadn’t used. However, it was clear the lower couplet also had many variations that could cancel out each upper couplet, so continuing the battle was meaningless.
Simply put…
Teacher Admirable Fish won hands down!
Realizing this, the officials of King of Couplets stopped posting variations of the upper couplet and instead posted a gif.
Yes, it’s that gif…
The one from the movie “Flirting Scholar”, where Dui Chuanchang coughed up three liters of blood after being defeated by Tang Bohu…
That’s the signal — King of Couplets’ official account conceded defeat!
By the time the officials conceded defeat with a gif of “Dui Chuanchang coughing up three liters of blood”, netizens were already worked up to the max!
Holy shit!
A real contest of immortals!
My brain can’t handle this!
What a joke, I’m dumbstruck!
Teacher Admirable Fish is the ultimate King of Couplets!
Even though it was shocking, that final gif made me laugh so hard.
Was this a re-enactment of the movie scene?”
King of Couplets, weren’t you guys supposed to be formidable?”
Remember this intense couplet competition had already drawn a lot of attention, tons of people were just here to watch the show. The fact that Teacher Admirable Fish was a part of the competition and his lower couplets pushed the atmosphere to a whole new height.
And when Chu Kuang entered…
The atmosphere of the couplet battle was taken to the absolute peak, grabbing the full attention of the spectators!
However…
In comparison to the excited bystanders, fans of Chu Kuang and Teacher Admirable Fish were thoroughly overjoyed!
Ha-ha, is this a hero saving the damsel in distress?
Chu Kuang: Little Fish, they don’t understand you, but I do.
Teacher Admirable Fish: Damn, I was the one who wrote the lower couplet, how did you get all the credit?”
Ha-ha, they gave you all the credit?!
Chu Kuang didn’t even give Teacher Admirable Fish a chance to say anything, he directly shut the officials of King of Couplets up!”
Both Teacher Admirable Fish and Chu Kuang are awesome!”
This round obviously goes to Teacher Admirable Fish, but Chu Kuang is probably one of the few people who can keep up with Teacher Admirable Fish, a normal person would never know he could have so many variations.”
Wait, what are you insinuating?”
You’re all putting on a show! The officials were questioning Teacher Admirable Fish’s dark horse lower couplet and Chu Kuang came to his aid.
Teacher Admirable Fish and Chu Kuang were made for each other!
Should I call for the local registry office?
Who knows if Chu Kuang and Teacher Admirable Fish are male or female, they never revealed their gender.”
Does gender matter?
I think they are both male, a match made in heaven, like a double positive!
For the hardcore fans who made fun of them daily, this couplet competition was extremely exhilarating!
Even many renowned figures from the literary circle, who witnessed the competition, couldn’t resist secretly following Chu Kuang and Teacher Admirable Fish.
Even though Teacher Admirable Fish was outstanding with his perfect lower couplet, Chu Kuang was not bad either, because he was the only one who understood all the variations of Teacher Admirable Fish’s lower couplets!
This meant…
Chu Kuang’s skills were frighteningly good as well!
Whew.
Inside the studio…
Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
Though there was a major mishap when he posted the lower couplet using Teacher Admirable Fish’s account, he had a quick idea and managed to turn it into publicity for Chu Kuang’s account.
Yes-
Lin Yuan deliberately remained silent as Teacher Admirable Fish and then replied using Chu Kuang’s account.
Doing so allowed Chu Kuang to gather all the remaining attention.
Anyway…
By being able to write the lower couplet, Teacher Admirable Fish already gained a lot of attention.
In fact, Chu Kuang coming forward also helped recognize Teacher Admirable Fish’s achievements.
Because the quicker Chu Kuang analyzed the lower couplets, the more he demonstrated the sheer brilliance of Teacher Admirable Fish’s lower couplet…
It’stime to end this…
Right when Lin Yuan was about to shut down his computer, a notification echoed from the computer.
Lin Yuan froze for a moment, then looked down to find someone had mentioned him on Tribe.
Wait…
This account did more than just mention him, it also tagged Chu Kuang.
The one who tagged both of them was Feng Changsheng, who had noticed the first variation of the couplet.
Turns out, Feng Changsheng had made it to the final level of the “King of Couplets” game.
And the couplet for the final level was [Admire the plum blossom sweeping up the snow].
I reached the final level of ‘King of Couplets,’ but found I couldn’t come up with a match for it. The officials really know their couplets, don’t they? @Chu Kuang (©Teacher Admirable Fish, do you want to give it a try?”
Lin Yuan: “.
Meow meow meow?
Another couplet from Earth?
