After the uproar that Zhang Xuan created with the ladies, the crowd had cleared the area around hi him and the attendant to stand out with exceptional conspicuity
While everyone was busy placing their bids, the two of the else, and upon witnessing this, Ji Mo gongzi felt displeased and disrespected Then, when he listened carefully to their conversation, it turned out that they were belittling his work How could he tolerate this? Thus, he bellowed at the his prestige and authority
He had thought that the other party would apologize i questioned like that, but contrary to his expectations, the other party spoke such words in return
A toy which any apprentice painter can create
Beco infuriated, his face turned crimson red i his fists tightly, a surge of power gushed out fros to howl He was actually a Pixue realm expert!
To be able to attain Pixue realzi's talent in cultivation was no way inferior to his flair for painting
The green-robed attendant didn't expect Zhang Xuan to say such words, and his face paled i aside the fact that the Ji Clan was one of the Three Great Clans in the capital, this Ji gongzi hihly respected 1-star painter with incredible rallying abilities Provoking hi death?
Angering the other party and receiving a beating were no big deals, but it was highly likely that Zhang Xuan would be banned frole painting no zi, calive in”
He tugged on the clothes of the young e
After which, the young man before him nodded and spoke, ”Oh, it's my mistake to say that any apprentice painter can create such a painting!”
”That'sXuan adh of relief when he heard the second half of his words His eyes shot upward and he nearly passed out from shock
” This is an insult to apprentice painters! Given the standard of this painting, even a randoe beast is able to do better than that! Five old coins!” Zhang Xuan uttered
He didn't wish to cause trouble, but that didn't mean that he would allow anyone to clie of h that I'e of you
While the other party was drawing, without using the Library of Heaven's Path, he was able to see seven to eight flaith just his own judg even if the other party were to give it to hi!
Savage beast? Five gold coins?
Zhang Xuan spoke cal to stare at hi at a ht at hoet such confidence?
”You”
Ji Mo gongzi was so angry that he nearly voe beast would be able to do better than hiold coins
The other party was clearly doubting his professionalis o up and take a look at the other paintings!” Disregarding the infuriated Ji Mo, Zhang Xuan turned around ih he had just arrived at Tianwu Kingdo in the capital, he was someone as about to take thedisposition
If the other party were to dare to say such words to him after he becomes a master teacher, he would lash hi any breath on him!
This is the authority and power unique to a master teacher
Master teachers mustn't be sullied, and those who dare to desecrate one has to die!
He was just a boastful painter and yet he dared to force a sale upon hi very respectfully to hiht there!”
Seeing how that fellow intended to leave straight after huer and he alh he was infuriated, he didn't lose his rationality Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and stared at Zhang Xuan coldly
”Since you spoke so confidently, youThen, do you dare to coht! We'll start painting simultaneously and after we're done, we'll find so is superior and attains the higher level wins! The losing side will have to kneel down and apologize, and swear to never enter the Painter Guild ever again”
Ji Mo gongzi's eyes were filled savagery, ”How about it, do you dare to take on the challenge?”
”Start painting simultaneously? Find so how confident the other party was, Zhang Xuan shook his head
He didn'twith the other party In any case, he had nothing else to do today apart fro the Painter Guild and, from the looks of it, the other party wouldn't let this e
”Why? Do you not dare to take zi sneered
”That's not it, it's just that” Placing his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan looked at him with a helpless expression, ”I'!
Everyone fell to the ground, the entire roo into silence
Huala!
Then, the entire room burst into an uproar
”What in the world are you bragging about?”
”Ji Mo gongzi is an official painter! How dare a nobody like you spout such arrogant words!”
”Compete with him! Let him know the capability of a true master painter!”
The ladies present stared at Zhang Xuan furiously With are to tear Zhang Xuan into pieces
We’ve seen arrogant people, but we’ve never seen such an arrogant person You dare say that Ji Mo gongzi will cry?
Do you knoho he is?
He is the first person in Tianwu Royal City to pass the painter exae, a person who possesses unparalleled talent in painting
Afraid that he will cry?
Who do you think you are?
The guild leader of the Painter Guild?
”You”
Ji Mo gongzi's body swayed, and blood nearly burst forth from his mouth
The other party's words ay too vicious!
He knew that the more he quarreled with the other party, the er Thus, he waved his hands and said, ”Then let's not waste any ti!”
After which, as if he was afraid that the other party ht back out, he turned around and issued instructions to an attendant behind him immediately
The attendant then turned around and left, returning with two elders in no ti and Vice Guild Leader Wu They are 2-star grand the that the tere vice guild leaders, Zhang Xuan directed his attention to them immediately
These two see on their chins Perhaps due to years of i, both of them carried unique and refined dispositions
”I' Xuan whoever the judge was Thus, he nodded to indicate his approval
”Do the two of you wish to co asked with a frown
The attendant had explained to thester of unknown background suddenly appeared and spoke arrogantly before Ji Mo, resulting in a conflict between theuild leaders were curious to see how that youngster could be so confident
”Yes!” Ji Mo gongzi bowed
”May I ask fro?”
Vice Guild Leader Cheng turned to Zhang Xuan and asked
”I arandht just happen to know your teacher!”
”I , I do not have a teacher!” Zhang Xuan said
His understanding of painting came from books, so it was true that he did not have a teacher
”An interest? Do not have a teacher?”
Both Vice Guild Leader Cheng and Vice Guild Leader Wu exchanged gazes, and they felt baffled at the situation
Even though painting ranked a the lowest in the Nine Upper Paths, it was iuidance from a teacher
The other party dares to compete with a 1-star painter just because he is so?
Is he unaware of a ance blind his rationality?
”Painting is an elegant art and such a contest would be a breach of decoruuments, it would be best to settle it privately There's no need to settle it through a co for a moment, Vice Guild Leader Wu tried to persuade the duo
Painting is a refined activity, and using it for a co of a refined painter
”I beseech the two grandet to know each other through literature On top of that, I believe that there's a need to uphold our pride as painters This fellow dared to insult painting, if I do not have a shoith hi down!”
Before Zhang Xuan could speak, Ji Mo gongzi had already spoken up
This fellow claie beasts could do better than him If he didn't teach hiutters, and he would be too embarrassed tothat Ji Mo was ada Xuan, only to see him nod his head casually ”If he wishes to co that both parties had agreed to the competition and that it was iuild leaders could only agree to the matter ”Since the both of you have decided to coes then! The rules are simple; the ti is at the higher level will be declared victorious! If both paintings are of the same level, the one who took the least ti such as superior or inferior in art, and everyone has different tastes and interest Thus, it is impossible to decide which artwork is 'superior' or 'inferior'
However, since there were different levels to painting, they could use it as a bench skills objectively
”Let's begin!”
With the rules set and no disagreements from both parties involved in the coan to lay out two tables with brushes, ink slabs, and paper
”There are no restrictions to the topic, feel free to paint anything you desire to!”
Seeing that the both of them had taken their positions, Vice Guild Leader Wu said
”Yes!”
Ji Mo gongzi nodded his head
Since there were no restrictions, he could choose to paint what he was best at
The mountains and streaood at If he were to drahat he was theof the third level
He had just beco for an opportunity to increase his reputation when this fellow appeared fro for a nap' fitted the situation perfectly, Zhang Xuan's appearance was sione to the extent of blowing the ht, since there aren’t any objections, you in now!”
Since the duo wasn't objectionable to the rules, Vice Guild Leader Wu waved his hands, gesturing for thezi harrumphed coldly With a swift movean drawing
This ti victory, he chose to use plenty of fla him the loud cheers frozi in?”
”Of course! Ji gongzi is the uild leader has said that it is highly possible that he will take over his position in the future How can he possibly lose to a countryside buzi has already begun drawing, but why is that countryside bu idly? It can't be that his words are louder than his actions and that he doesn't kno to paint at all?”
”That may really be true Look, he is totally raceful brush strokes, everyone had been discussing Ji Mo gongzi excitedly, and only at this ainst was standingto indicate a dile? Do you have any problem that you find hard to voice out? Feel free to speak”
Seeing him in such a state, Vice Guild Leader Wu asked
”Oh, it's like that”
Zhang Xuan scratched his head in e about it If I were to si hie beast can paint better than hie beasts here? Can I borrow one to use? Rest assured, after it's done with the painting I'll return it to you!”
”What?”
”He intends to use a savage beast to cozi?”
”The heck, surely I as!”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they stared at the e beasts possess intelligence, it is insignificant in cohts As such, it is i
Pitting a savage beast against an official painter in a painting contest
How is that possible!
You s!
Even if they weren’t here, being able to see and hear it in person, they would have thought that the felloas insane
In fact, even though they were actually here in person witnessing the situation, they were doubting his sanity
While everyone was just shocked, Ji Mo gongzi's body was already convulsing Ten thousand iinary divine beasts flew around his head and he nearly threw his brush at the other party's face
Finding a savage beast to compete with him
The heck, do youyour opponent?
He thought that he would be able to humiliate the other party once the results were out, but the painting had barely started, and the other party's contempt had by now seared his skin
If that felloere to really ith a savage beast, doesn’t that mean that I am inferior to a beast?
Even I win, it would only mean that I aongzi felt blood welling up in his h cough, even though savage beasts possess intelligence, they are incapable of painting Are you certain of this?” Vice Guild Leader Wu was also astonished at the youngster's request He couldn't help but ask hier duration, better quality paper, a better standard of ink Of all of these innu for a savage beast!
Are you sure this isn't a joke?
”Yes, I a Xuan nodded his head with a serious expression
He could easily paint a fifth level work If he were to take the painter examination, even if it wasn't sufficient for him to reach 3-star, he would be a 2-star pinnacle at the minimum
With such a capability, for hi felloho had just passed the 1-star painter exa the weak
Even if he were to win, it wouldn't be honorable!
However, even after he had affirmed his request, the other party didn'tXuan asked, ”Can it be that there aren’t any savage beasts here? Or is looking for a savage beast too difficult a request?”
After all, this is the Painter Guild, not the Beast Hall Can it be that savage beasts are difficult to find in Tianwu Royal City?
”Difficult”
Everyone staggered
This isn't the main point at all!
The ?
”Arrogant!”
While Vice Guild Leader Wu was at a loss, Vice Guild Leader Cheng's face darkened, and he flung his sleeves angrily
He had i for several decades now and he ell aware of the difficulty of this art To wish to outdo an official painter at painting using a savage beast?
That was an incredibly arrogant thought
Initially, he thought that this would be a valiant battle between two outstanding youths, but to think that the youngster before hio out and look around? I know of a wild savage beast in the vicinity”
Recognizing the persisting aardness, the green-robed attendant hesitated for aXuan gestured
”Yes!” The green-robed attendant rushed out i back with a savage beast in his ee beast, it was more appropriate to call it an undos and cats that households kept, it didn't possess any fighting prowess Oblivious to the reason why it was brought here, it had a confused look on its face
Upon receiving the savage beast, Zhang Xuan took a quick look at it Even though he wasn't very satisfied, the coun, and there wasn't time for him to be picky
