Chapter 1199: Masterful Artwork

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Fine! Let the results speak the truth! Since you claim that that you have brought your master’s Sumukhwa, show it to us! I believe the crowd will then know who the amateur here is!” said Tao Qianli in a confident manner.

If Chen Xiaobei took out an ordinary Sumukhwa, Tao Qianli would definitely criticize it as much as possible. And that would slap Chen Xiaobei’s face tightly in front of everyone. However, if Chen Xiaobei did manage to take out something that was as good as his Sumukhwa, Tao Qianli would then have the intention to scrutinize it. By doing that, he would not feel so embarra.s.sed by it even if he lost the bet later. No matter what, Tao Qianli would never allow others to call him an amateur.

“Lady Fei Xuan, could you kindly ask two people to come up and help me?” asked Chen Xiaobei.

“Of… Of course…”

Clearly, Fei Xuan had not yet recovered from the shock that she experienced earlier. Considering that Fei Xuan had worked as an auctioneer for years, she had seen all kinds of people at an auction. However, she had never encountered someone as crazy and as wild as Chen XIaobei.

Soon, two young ladies walked to the front stage.

Chen Xiaobei then took out a scroll from his Infinite s.p.a.ce Ring and pa.s.sed it to the ladies.

“You must open the scroll slowly! The length of this scroll is rather long. Please be really careful! Do not damage it!”

Knowing that it was an extremely valuable item, the two ladies followed Chen Xiaobei’s orders and proceeded to open the scroll gently. At the same time, everyone in the room had their attention glued on it.

“Hey kid! Don’t you know that you are displaying your poorest skill in front of a master? How dare you show off your broken drawing in front of Master Tao Qianli?! I have to say, you are indeed quite the brave one!” said Lu Changwei.

“I thought this kid was supposed to be an expert at healing? How come he has a master that teaches him drawing? That doesn’t make sense at all… How am I supposed to explain to Muyue if he was beaten by Lu Changwei to his death later?!”

“Ruiling! Let’s make a bet! We’ll bet on whether the young man will live or die after he opens up the scroll!” said Qin Luo with a smile.

“You want me to walk into your trap, right? Judging by Lu Changwei’s personality, I’m pretty sure that he will kill that young man if he managed to find a single flaw on his drawing!” said Wei Ruilong.

“d.a.m.n… What a waste! The hero that has the guts to go against Lu Changwei is about to die soon! I will definitely buy him a drink if he manages to stay alive!”

“Count me in as well!” said Wei Ruiling, while shrugging.

“Idiots! r.e.t.a.r.ded! Morons! Luckily, I’m smart enough to walk away from him! I will be in big trouble if anyone else thought that I’m with him!” said the beautiful woman seated at the second row while sharply glaring at Chen Xiaobei.

“Wow! Such an awe-inspiring artwork!”

The boyfriend of the beautiful woman could not help but suddenly compliment the artwork that Chen Xiaobei just showed them. The width of the painting was around one meter but its length was an astounding ten meters! It was almost long enough to cover the entire stage! That was why the first impression that the drawing brought to the crowd was an impressive one. Compared to Tao Qianli’s A Ride That Carried Victory, its size was only one fifth of Chen Xiaobei’s.

The content of Chen Xiaobei’s drawing was exactly the same as Tao Qianli’s. In the drawing, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were standing in the same line. The drawing was so good that it made the crowd feel like they were looking at real soldiers. In the middle of the drawing stood a general on a prancing white horse with a long spear, facing hundreds of thousands of enemies.

“Top-tier Sumukhwa! This is definitely one of the best that I have ever seen! Look at the size of it! I get goose b.u.mps just by staring at it! This would require years of drawing experience in order to come up something as good as this!”

“The skills that the person displayed whilst drawing this Sumukhwa is pretty p.r.o.nounced as well! Though it’s a Sumukhwa, I couldn’t help but notice the many layers of details!”

“It’s true that this is a good piece of artwork but I think it’s too similar to Master Tao Qianli’s.”

“I think Master Tao’s artwork is more detailed! Just look at the fur of the war horse and the parts of the armor! It looks so surreal! I think it’s a lot harder to draw something like that!”

“You are right! Undeniable, that young man’s artwork is good. Even so, I’m still not pleased that he called Master Tao an amateur!”

…..

A lot of people started commenting about it but none of them were willing to support Chen Xiaobei.

“Kid! Just tell me! How do you plan to die? I will grant you your wis.h.!.+” said Lu Changwei with an evil smile on him.

“Everyone here are amateurs except for Master Tao and two of the governors. I’m not trying to offend anyone here.” said Chen Xiaobei.

“Master Tao? Governors?”

Upon hearing that, the crowd suddenly realized that Tao Qianli and Dong Xiaowu were standing in front of Chen Xiaobei’s artwork carefully examining it. It would seem that the two of them were extremely attracted to the drawing – like they were being petrified by the magical power that came out from the Sumukhwa. It was not hard to guess that the two of them had already figured out the essence of the art piece.

“What… What the h.e.l.l is going on?” asked Lu Changwei in shock.

The crowd echoed his reaction.

“Master Tao! Governor! Can you hear me?” shouted Lu Changwei in a dissatisfied manner.

Siii…

Immediately, Tao Qianli and Dong Xiaowu regained their consciousness. One could see that the two of them had a fearful look. Beads of sweat were dripping from their forehead and their breathing was irregular. Clearly, they were too shocked by what they had just seen.

“Master Tao! Governor! What’s wrong with you guys? Why are the two of you in shock?” asked Lu Changwei in concern.

No one amongst the crowd could figure out what was going on as well.

“This art piece is beyond G.o.dlike! I have never seen anything like this in my entire life before!”

Tao Qianli and Dong Xiaowu were completely in awe, their bodies both shaking involuntarily.

“What’s going on? Stop messing with me! You both look like you just saw ghosts!” said Lu Changwei.

“Look at this Sumukhwa from two different angles. From this angle, it is as if all these soldiers are going to crush us into minced meat!” said Tao Qianli.

“Next, come to the middle. Try to look from the back of the general. His presence is so powerful that he helps you to eliminate all the fear that you had earlier on while facing those hundreds of thousands of enemies!” said Dong Xiaowu.

“How could that be even possible? I think the two of you are out of your minds!”

Clearly, Lu Changwei did not believe in a single word that they said.

“Quieten down now… And look at it carefully!”

Dong Xiaowu pulled Lu Changwei over to look at the Sumukhwa.

Seconds later, even Lu Changwei was drenched in fear.

Upon witnessing all of their reactions, the crowd was left in awe.
