This point has always been a thorn in Zhan Yun’s side.
This time, with Chu Kuang challenging the world, Zhan Yun couldn’t help but make a move.
Didn’t you all say that my Galaxy Award’s gold content isn’t as good as Chu Kuang’s?
If I beat Chu Kuang, wouldn’t that prove my merit?
Zhan Yun had a little scheme in mind when he made his move.
That is, he has always been considered the number one in sci-fi on the Qin Continent.
Until Chu Kuang won the Galaxy Award with "The Martian Rescue," many started to believe that Chu Kuang was the real sci-fi number one on the Qin Continent.
That certainly won’t do.
Zhan Yun didn’t want to admit defeat so easily.
But what Zhan Yun didn’t expect was:
Just after he posted his dynamic, two other sci-fi writers picked by Chu Kuang also chose to take action alongside him.
Chu Continent, Lingmu!
The number one sci-fi writer from Chu Continent, won the Galaxy Award ten years ago. Although his works have been fewer in recent years, his strength is certainly not weaker than Zhan Yun’s!
Yan Continent, Zhang Ao!
Zhang Ao is considered a top sci-fi writer on Yan Continent, known as one of the "Three Giants of Sci-fi" on Yan Continent, fully qualified to represent Yan Continent’s sci-fi!
Their literary duel works are also short stories.
After all, it’s easier to create short sci-fi stories.
Zhan Yun was instantly pleased; he wasn’t confident about beating Chu Kuang, but with three people making a move, the chances were much greater.
Chu Kuang only needs to write one novel to fight against one person, but against three, he would need to write three novels at once, which would certainly divide his attention!
Zhan Yun smiled slightly and decisively published his work on his blog, eagerly anticipating the reaction from readers.
Lingmu of Chu Continent and Zhang Ao of Yan Continent also published their works on their blogs for free, allowing people to read them.
This is the advantage of short stories.
Long stories might be inconvenient to post on blogs, requiring publication channels, which would take a lot of time; short stories don’t have such concerns, as they consist of just tens of thousands of words, and can be freely released, attracting readers with the buzz of this literary duel!
Netizens have been jumping around the comment sections of the top ten sci-fi writers for ages, closely monitoring their every move.
As soon as these three made their move, the interest of netizens was instantly piqued, and each was eager to spread the news across the internet!
"Someone made a move!"
"Zhan Yun from Qin Continent!"
"Zhang Ao from Yan Continent!"
"Lingmu from Chu Continent!"
"Three against one from the start!"
"Hahaha, I thought today at most one or two people would make a move, but unexpectedly, three came up together!"
"What’s the old rascal saying?"
"The old rascal might be crying soon."
"These three only need one story each, while Chu Kuang needs to write three; even though seven others haven’t made a move yet, these three big shots are already enough of a challenge for him!"
"Cheer for the three teachers!"
Excited netizens eagerly clicked into these three works.
The literary duel compares the overall reputation and quality, and everyone is happy to be the judge!
Besides, short stories are just tens of thousands of words; they’re light and easy for netizens to read!
Over on the Qin Continent writer Zhan Yun’s side.
"Indeed very wonderful, but Chu Kuang has also written short sci-fi before; Zhan Yun’s work is slightly inferior to Chu Kuang’s ’The Heartbroken.’"
"It’s also a bit inferior to ’Wandering Blue Star.’"
"You can’t compare it like that."
"Chu Kuang is now fighting on three fronts, spreading his energy thin; it’s unlikely his short stories will surpass those two works."
"Did any of you read the works of the other two, are they good?"
Over on Chu Continent writer Lingmu’s side.
"Reading the whole work was very smooth and not at all dull, slightly stronger than Zhan Yun’s work!"
"The beginning setup is quite striking."
"The only regret is the climax didn’t lift off."
"Overall, it’s already an excellent sci-fi work."
"If you want to beat Chu Kuang, this one looks solid!"
"I’m off to read Zhang Ao’s work now."
Over on Yan Continent writer Zhang Ao’s side.
"This is the strength of one of the three giants of Yan Continent’s sci-fi; I think Zhang Ao is already regarded as the number one in Yan Continent’s sci-fi!"
"This one is too stunning!"
"It has depth, visuals, and plot."
"A rare sci-fi masterpiece for Yan Continent in recent years!"
"The one to beat Chu Kuang will definitely be Zhang Ao from Yan Continent!"
"Any of these three could defeat Chu Kuang; Chu Kuang is really presumptuous this time, challenging top sci-fi writers from each continent. If he picked a slightly weaker opponent, he could’ve won gloriously against three, considering his sci-fi might not stack up as well compared to his achievements in other fields."
Each with better reviews than the last!
The comment sections of the novels are filled with netizens praising them!
Not only netizens, but also many sci-fi writers who weren’t picked by Chu Kuang, who are somewhat less skilled, are providing detailed analyses and interpretations of these stories to help everyone appreciate their highlights!
The reason is simple.
Because Chu Kuang stirred up the entire Blue Star sci-fi circle!
Almost every sci-fi writer on Blue Star, strong enough, felt underestimated.
This time the sci-fi circle must win!
If Chu Kuang really wipes out all ten, every sci-fi writer would lose face!
Nobody truly believes Chu Kuang can wipe out all ten.
