That's interesting!
On the Cloud Terrace, Yang Zhen, who had his eyes closed, gradually became interested. No wonder so many people wanted to paint on the Cloud Terrace; it was a place where one could communicate with heaven and earth and feel the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Breathing.
At this moment, Yang Zhen's breathing was in harmony with the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Breathing, and with each breath, he seemed to completely merge with the world.
Beside the Cloud Terrace, countless people were watching, and more and more people began to gather. When they saw Yang Zhen sitting in front of them without rushing to paint, they were all stunned and looked at Yang Zhen with surprise and uncertainty.
The image in Gan Bailin's hand had already taken shape, and a fierce tiger, the king of the forest, roaring to the sky, seemed to leap out. Even though it was just an outline, it already gave everyone a sense of oppression.
"As expected of Young Master Gan, such talent truly surpasses all others. With just a few strokes, he was able to evoke such a celestial phenomenon!"
"Lifelike, this is true lifelike! With just a few strokes, it already exudes power. Once this painting is completed, what kind of terrifying impact will it have on everyone?"
"What you all may not know is that, according to legend, Yang Zhen caused quite a stir on Turtle-Snake Island using a Tiger Roaring in the Mountain Forest Painting!"
"What?!" someone exclaimed, excitedly looking at Gan Bailin with eyes full of fervent admiration. "So that's how it is! Young Master Gan is going to completely defeat Yang Zhen in the Tiger Roaring in the Mountain Forest Painting! It turns out he hasn't underestimated Yang Zhen at all; on the contrary, he values him extremely. This competition is going to be very exciting!"
Buzz--!
As Gan Bailin's brush fell, a terrifying gale suddenly appeared out of nowhere, howling in mid-air with mournful cries, giving one the feeling of being alone in an endless mountain range!
"This... what terrifying Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions! It can actually summon howling winds!"
With a single stroke, Gan Bailin's " Tiger Roaring in the Mountain Forest Painting was completed, even depicting the continuous mountain forests, forming a rough sketch.
A terrifying gale swept across the entire Cloud Terrace, making Yang Zhen's clothes flutter wildly. Although Yang Zhen appeared unaffected, everyone present knew that under such circumstances, it was impossible for Yang Zhen to remain completely unaffected; his State of Mind must have been in turmoil.
Tian Rou's expression hardened, and she looked at Yang Zhen with some tension. In this situation, Yang Zhen was already lagging behind in every aspect, and State of Mind he was already at a disadvantage.
Great Master Su nodded, glancing at Gan Bailin with some surprise. " Gan Bailin truly lives up to his reputation as a painter renowned throughout Tieling City. To still be able to produce such talent under such circumstances, he truly deserves the top spot on the Literary Brilliance Rankings."
Tian Rou was startled by what she heard, and looked nervously at Great Master Su, hesitating to speak.
Great Master Su seemed to sense Tian Rou's worry, smiled, and took Tian Rou hand, saying, " Xiao Rou, don't worry. Although Gan Bailin is quite accomplished in painting, what I value most is Yang Zhen's calm and composed character. If Gan Bailin were to rashly paint without understanding the Cloud Terrace ), he would already be at Lower Vehicle!"
Tian Rou's expression brightened, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, are you saying that Brother Yang Zhen is comprehending the Cloud Terrace?"
Great Master Su nodded, her bright, deep eyes sparkling. "But..."
Upon hearing those two words, Tian Rou's expression suddenly hardened, and she looked at Great Master Su nervously.
Great Master Su glanced at Yang Zhen and said leisurely, "It's not easy to comprehend the Cloud Terrace, and you can't interrupt it halfway. Otherwise, you'll not only lose your original insights, but you'll also lose the chance to comprehend the Cloud Terrace forever!"
"What?" Tian Rou was shocked and looked at Great Master Su in disbelief.
Great Master Su gave a wry smile and said, "It's not that I didn't want to tell Yang Zhen beforehand, it's just that these kinds of things require him to figure them out himself. Once he has a mental burden, it's too difficult to get into the right state of mind. This... is what my master told me!"
Upon hearing that Great Master Su actually mentioned her master, Tian Rou's face immediately showed respect, and she asked hesitantly, "Can Brother Yang Zhen comprehend the Cloud Terrace?"
Before Great Master Su could answer, Tian Rou suddenly exclaimed, her face pale, "If Brother Yang Zhen can't comprehend the Cloud Terrace, won't he have to sit like this forever? Then this competition..."
Doesn't that mean we'll lose the competition?
In Tian Rou's view, she didn't take Gan Bailin's mockery or contempt seriously. In fact, Tian Rou knew in her heart that Yang Zhen didn't take it seriously either.
Yang Zhen's goal has never been Gan Bailin, and Tian Rou's concern is not whether Yang Zhen can defeat Gan Bailin.
Does Gan Bailin have a chance to beat Yang Zhen?
That's utterly delusional!
No matter how much Gan Bailin mocked Yang Zhen, in Tian Rou's eyes, he was nothing more than a clown. What Tian Rou cared about was whether Yang Zhen could comprehend the Star Literary Talent Qi on the Cloud Terrace.
Did Great Master Su activate the Cloud Terrace for Gan Bailin's sake?
This is a complete joke.
Actually, after the Shameless Cat secretly climbed onto the Cloud Terrace, he somehow blurted out that this thing was nothing but child's play in the eyes of the Shameless Yang, and that Great Master Su's so-called talent was unparalleled, even to the point of being Yang Zhen's bed-making maid—when Great Master Su and Tian Rou made such absurd remarks, they had already agreed that once Yang Zhen came to Tieling City, they would let him try the Cloud Terrace to see if he could successfully comprehend the Star Literary Talent Qi.
Now, the painting contest with Gan Bailin is merely something that Great Master Su and Tian Rou are doing as they please.
What is Star Literary Talent Qi? It is a powerful force that can move the heavens and earth and even the myriad stars. It is not so easy to comprehend. In fact, even Great Master Su, who had already comprehended Star Literary Talent Qi, has fallen into a bottleneck and has not made any progress for a long time.
No one understands better than Tian Rou why the Great Master Su organizes a grand competition every month—it's to find someone with the potential to comprehend the Star Literary Talent Qi and together explore its mysteries.
Now that Yang Zhen has arrived, the expectations in the hearts of Great Master Su and Tian Rou are beyond the comprehension of anyone present.
But now, Yang Zhen actually sat directly on the Cloud Terrace, making Great Master Su and Tian Rou, who didn't care about Gan Bailin at all, worry.
If Yang Zhen were to actually remain seated on the Cloud Terrace indefinitely, wouldn't Gan Bailin ruin Yang Zhen's reputation?
Even though Yang Zhen didn't create any drawings, Gan Bailin could still surpass Yang Zhen by simply scribbling something!
Tian Rou and Great Master Su exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
Great Master Su stared blankly at Yang Zhen, muttering to herself, "Did I do something wrong? Should I have let you go up to the Cloud Terrace?"
At this point, a hint of sadness flashed in Great Master Su's eyes as she said, "I just wanted... I just wanted one more person to comprehend the Star Literary Talent Qi and explore its profound principles together. If... if you fail, I..."
Just then, a loud boom suddenly came from the Cloud Terrace, followed by a deafening roar. A fierce tiger with piercing eyes materialized in mid-air, roaring and howling at Yang Zhen. Streams of celestial Literary Qi soared into the sky, gathering in mid-air and forming a series of oppressive forces that rushed towards Yang Zhen.
Everyone was taken aback, watching in horror as waves of violent energy surged toward Yang Zhen, utterly astonished and shocked.
However, at this critical moment, Yang Zhen suddenly looked up, his eyes snapping open, a smug smile playing on his lips. He muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. This big cat is not bad, but you don't understand the flirtatiousness of this ' Sage of Saunter,' and you... haven't experienced it yet!"
"He's awake!" Tian Rou exclaimed in surprise, then overjoyed, grabbing Great Master Su's hand and excitedly saying, "Sister, Brother Yang Zhen is awake!"
