Did you forget to draw the halo?
The group of people exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes twitching. What use was a halo to a painting like this? Even if it were, what good would it do?
While everyone was bewildered, Yang Zhen solemnly drew a circle on the head of the phoenix and added a few points of light.
"Yes, this definitely looks much more high-end!"
Yang Zhen muttered to himself, seemingly quite satisfied, which made Sun Yushi's smile vanish. He stared blankly at Yang Zhen and said angrily, "Are you kidding me?"
Where's the promised ferocious tiger roaring through the mountains? Where's the promised Divine Sense Phoenix Proud Intent Painting? This... this round thing and this chicken-like thing, are they really the ferocious tiger and the divine phoenix?
Although Ji Shulin didn't speak, he looked at Yang Zhen with displeasure, his expression exactly the same as Sun Yushi's.
Yang Zhen shook his head, somewhat disappointed, and said, "Indeed, there's no one in this world who understands how to appreciate art!"
Everyone's eyes twitched. Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen, both amused and exasperated. If this could be called art, then wouldn't there be far too much art in the world?
Yang Zhen carefully and lovingly held up the "Tiger Roaring in the Mountains" painting, showing it to everyone. He explained, "Look at these lines, so beautiful yet powerful! And this expression, this movement—it brings a fierce tiger to life, perfectly capturing its essence. This is truly the king of the mountains!"
When everyone saw the Tiger Roaring in the Mountain Forest Painting" that Yang Zhen showed them, they wanted to laugh but dared not. Yang Zhen was the kind of person who could help Tian Rou Ning Hua with just a few strokes of his brush, so it was impossible for him to have no achievements or attainments in literature.
Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously looked at Tian Rou. Sure enough, Tian Rou was looking at the painting in Yang Zhen's hand with a shocked expression, her face showing a thoughtful look that made people suspicious.
Although the crowd didn't understand, they dared not make any comments. They were all very cautious, and many even nodded subconsciously, as if this round, cute creature was truly a real tiger of the mountains and forests.
"Let's look at this Divine Bird Phoenix Painting. In my hometown, this priceless painting has a name: 'Phoenix Pecking at Rice Painting '!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd could no longer contain themselves and turned their heads away, no longer looking. This... isn't the image of a chick pecking at rice the most fitting description?
"Look at these lines..."
here we go again!
For some reason, everyone suddenly felt a restless urge to fight. Turning their heads to look around, they found that not a single person present was pleasing to the eye, and even Sea Pavilion seemed unusually irritating.
Before Yang Zhen could finish speaking, Ji Shulin said in a deep voice, " Yang Zhen, stop acting recklessly!"
Everyone was shocked, looking at Ji Shulin with some excitement. Finally, someone was going to deal with Yang Zhen, this scoundrel.
Sun Yushi was the most excited. With Ji Shulin by his side, as long as the old man stood firmly on his side, he would be invincible!
Now that Ji Shulin is starting to dislike Yang Zhen's unreasonable behavior and can no longer tolerate it, even if Yang Zhen really has potential, he probably won't be able to gain Ji Shulin's approval.
Yang Zhen looked at Ji Shulin with a strange expression, somewhat puzzled. "How is this nonsense? Can you even understand these two pictures?"
Hearing that Yang Zhen dared to question Ji Shulin, everyone gasped and stared in horror at the two confronting each other.
Among the crowd, Hua Youyue was no longer worried. She had been somewhat concerned about Yang Zhen's actions at first, but after so long, it was clear that Yang Zhen wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of. However, Hua Youyue couldn't understand why Yang Zhen was so confident and dared to challenge Ji Shulin.
Ji Shulin sneered and said, "If I can't even understand your scribbles, you're not worthy of being the Grand Elder of Turtle Turtle-Snake Island!"
Yang Zhen said "Oh," turned to Tian Rou, and asked, "Can you understand these two pictures?"
Tian Rou's body trembled, and after a moment's hesitation, she nodded thoughtfully and said, "Brother Yang, I understand some of it!"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, gave Ji Shulin a deep look, ruffled Tian Rou's hair, and said, "Explain these two pictures to our Turtle-Snake Island's Grand Elder!"
"You bastard!"
Ji Shulin roared, clearly enraged, and pointed at Yang Zhen, saying, "Boy, don't think you can act tough in front of me just because you have some capital. Writing as a Vehicle for the Dao is the most profound and mysterious principle in the world. How can you be so arrogant with just two rough sketches?"
Yang Zhen was too lazy to even speak, and gestured for Tian Rou to speak.
Tian Rou hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the enraged Ji Shulin, cleared her throat, and said crisply, "These two paintings are the two most precious paintings in the Sea Pavilion, including... including the one hanging in the Sea Pavilion!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Sea Pavilion was shocked. They stared at Tian Rou in horror, their expressions extremely complex.
Even Hua Youyue was stunned for a moment; it was too late to stop it.
I never expected Tian Rou to say such a thing, and I never expected Yang Zhen to be so arrogant.
Yang Zhen himself was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Tian Rou to be so bold as to openly challenge Sea Pavilion. This... this young girl is too good at getting things done!
Hua Youyue's heart was in turmoil, but she didn't know what to do.
The painting hanging in the Sea Pavilion was created by the master when he was young. It contains the aura of a Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions, which is why so many people come to the Sea Pavilion to create and learn.
This picture is the most precious thing in the entire East Sea coast. For this picture, all the cultivators on the East Sea coast are willing to do anything.
Now, Tian Rou actually claims that Yang Zhen's two casual sketches are more valuable than the inscriptions containing Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions that the master created when he was young. Little does she know that with just this one sentence, she has offended everyone on the entire East Sea coast, including the master himself.
How can someone who has offended even Mr. Lian survive on the shores of the East Sea?
This is almost impossible, because no one would give such a person a friendly look.
"Absurd, utterly absurd, Miss Tian Rou, you... you... you are so absurd! Although Yang Zhen has some skill, you absolutely cannot learn from him!" Ji Shulin was heartbroken, then turned to look at Yang Zhen with fury.
Without a doubt, Tian Rou is exceptionally talented in Writing as a Vehicle for the Dao principles, even surpassing Sun Yushi in potential. No one wants such a gifted person as Tian Rou to be led astray by Yang Zhen.
Sun Yushi watched Yang Zhen with schadenfreude as he gathered his True Essence Literary Talent Qi to fight his Heart Demon. This time, he was sure to win!
However, at this moment, Tian Rou shook her head and resolutely approached Yang Zhen. Although she didn't say anything, her actions spoke volumes, which made Ji Shulin's beard stand up in anger.
Yang Zhen suddenly took a deep breath, picked up the two pictures on the cutting board, and shook them violently!
Boom! Boom!
Two beams of heavenly Literary Talent Qi surged forth, instantly enveloping the entire sky Sea Pavilion.
In mid-air, the winds and clouds gathered, and amidst the surging and turbulent air currents, bolts of lightning pierced through the heavens and earth, shining brightly, and a radiant light illuminated all things in the world, surging and boundless!
roar!
A deafening roar echoed, accompanied by Thunderclap applause. A round, adorable tiger appeared, its body radiating golden light. The Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions brightly, and streams of spiritual Literary Qi surged forth from it.
Phew!
A cry that pierced through gold and shattered stone followed, and amidst the rolling dark clouds, a large bird wearing a golden crown spread its wings and cried out. Inscriptions flowed on its body, and its violent golden light, like a sun, evaporated all the dark clouds and air waves around it!
boom!
The aura formed by the two Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions collided, and the entire world seemed to change color, with towering waves of energy that made it impossible to look directly at them.
"This..." Sun Yushi spat out a mouthful of blood, stood frozen on the spot, and fell straight backward.
Ji Shulin let out a strange cry, his eyes suddenly widening in disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "Inscription, Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions... How is this possible!"
It's so ugly! This tiger and the phoenix are so ugly! Yet, these two ugly things are emanating terrifying waves of Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions, as if they were composed entirely of Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions. Compared to the one on the Sea Pavilion, it is indeed much more powerful.
