Duan Yu was unconvinced.
Feeling that his martial arts were inferior to Ding Ling's was normal, as he had never practiced martial arts. But for Ding Ling to surpass him in Buddhism, Music, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting was unbelievable.
Stirred by youthful arrogance, he immediately thought of competing with Ding Ling in these areas, yet the various Buddhist scriptures and theories were easily countered by Ding Ling, leaving him almost 'defeated'.
In Music, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting, during breaks for meals and barbecues, he was completely crushed with not a scrap left to show.
Duan Yu was disheartened, frustrated, and incredulous:
"Brother Ding, you're not much older, how are you so versatile! Impressive!"
Mu Wanqing, Ling Yanqiu, and Zhong Ling watched in awe, deeply shaken.
Zhong Ling, naïve and innocent, admired Ding Ling even more.
