The Way of Letters: Who Says Scholars Are Weak? Poetry Subdues Ghosts and Gods!

"Who says scholars are useless? I'll crush them with poetry!"

"Slay a man every ten paces, travel a thousand miles without leaving a trace! Kill!" - Knight Errant's Journey

"The world is filled with righteous energy, taking myriad forms! Suppress!" - Song of Righteous Energy

"Drunk, I raise my lamp to gaze upon my sword; in dreams, I return to the camps where bugles sound! Charge!" - Battle Formation Song

"The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things! Exorcise the demons and gods!" - Dao De Jing

Yang Xuan transmigrates to a world overrun by monsters and plagued by ghosts and gods, where he becomes a scholar.

Here, Daoist arts blot out the sky, and Martial Sages roam unchecked.

But Yang Xuan has neither a martial constitution nor a spiritual root.

Fortunately, this world has a path of literary cultivation.

It's just fallen into decline, and people call scholars "useless at everything."

Yang Xuan, however, has countless classic writings and poems in his mind.

Knight Errant's Journey, Song of Righteous Energy, Battle Formation Song, Dao De Jing, Yin Talisman Classic.

When ink and brush stir up wind and thunder, poems move ghosts and gods to tears!

If all the world's literary talent amounts to ten bushels, I, Yang Xuan, claim nine!
