Chapter 413 - Grand Exhibition (2/2)
Of course, there were also some who were dissatisfied with the attention that he was receiving. After all, many among the audience were here to support other participants.
”So what if he is fast? What matters the most in inscriptions is stability! Even if he completes it fast, what good would that be if his inscription is weaker than that of the others?” someone remarked bitterly.
However, his companions quickly shut him up.
Even though some of them shared the same thoughts, they were still in the Timeless Flame Sect's territory right now. Any criticisms towards the sect members could just bring about the wrath of the ancient sect!
Just like the others, Lu Tianzi could not help but to admire Grandmaster Xiqin's inscription technique.
Since he was right beside Grandmaster Xiqin, he actually had the best seat in the house when it came to watching Grandmaster Xiqin.
Even though they were competitors, Lu Tianzi could see that Grandmaster Xiqin's fundamental techniques were more refined than his own, capable of getting the same amount of work done with less consumption of energy.
Then again, that was to be expected.
While Lu Tianzi might be able to catch up to his seniors in terms of his understanding of the art of inscriptions, he would always be lacking in terms of actual experience.
Lu Tianzi was only eighteen years old, but Grandmaster Xiqin was someone who had spent at least hundreds of years practising the art of inscriptions.
Given that, it came as no surprise that his techniques had m.a.t.u.r.ed into a state of near perfection over the years. After such a long time, even someone with relatively poor talent would have been able to come up with their own tricks to completing a task, not to mention someone as talented as him.
Some of them had been relatively unknown prior to this. But the moment they took action, others could only stare on in shock.
All of them employed their own personal tricks and techniques, speeding through the initial phase of drawing inscription runes with great finesse.
While the audience was awed by the speed at which the participants drew the inscription runes, they could not help but also lament the fact that the grand concealing formation prevented them from truly appreciating the intricacies of these techniques.
How nice would it be if they were actually allowed to see exactly what everyone was doing?
This was a thought shared by everyone present that day, even the judges and participating inscription masters were no exception.
There was only person who did not entertain such thoughts.
Of course, it was not because this person cared not about such matters. That could not be further from the truth.
Instead, it was because this person was able to see through the grand concealing formation!
Under the effect of the grand concealing formation, not a single person present was able to see Lu Tianzi's eyes shining with a silvery light.
The grand concealing formation of the Timeless Flame Sect was truly wondrous, capable of keeping out both the sights and perceptions of even Overlord powerhouses.
However, even the upper echelons of the ancient sect had never expected that Lu Tianzi would possess something called the Limitless Mirror Eye.
The Limitless Mirror Eye was not just any eye technique. It was the signature technique of Shafeng, an existence on the same level as Lord Er.
These were existences that held Overlord powerhouses in disdain, possessing the strength to crush such opponents with a single wave of their hands.
Even though Lu Tianzi had yet to practise the Limitless Mirror Eye to the highest level, he had already reached a point where something on the level of this grand concealing formation was no longer enough to hinder his sight!
While it still did not allow him to see everything as clear as day, the energy flow of the surroundings was completely laid b.a.r.e before him.
Armed with his existing knowledge on the art of inscriptions, that was all he needed to deduce the techniques being executed by the other participating inscription masters.
In other words, this Inscription Meet had become something akin to a grand exhibition to him, a once-in-a-lifetime occasion where he could closely observe the personal techniques of inscription masters from all over the continent!
These were techniques refined by individual inscription masters according to their own interpretations of the art of inscriptions, fine-tuned over countless years. Some of which were even passed down since ancient times, legacies created through the culminated efforts of numerous generations.
It was no exaggeration to say that these were their secrets of the trade, something that defined them as inscription masters.
This was practically a huge treasure trove being delivered right to his doorstep, so how could Lu Tianzi not feel overwhelmed with excitement?
This was the reason why Lu Tianzi had yet to start on his own inscription.
Instead of that, this was far more important.
Even if he failed to get past this round, it would still be well worth it for him as long as he managed to analyse and learn the individual techniques of the many skilled inscription masters present today!
