Chapter 674 - The Best is About To Emerge (1/2)

Day 8.

Morning.

The entrance to the Chinese Art Association was already flooded with people.

Today was going to be the last in the series of paintings and the members of the association did not want to miss it. Especially not Zheng Zhong Yang, whose mood was completely indescribable.

He had already had to face the wrath of Elder Lin the past few days. Having to endure the damage every day.

Actually, he felt that the ‘Thousand Miles of River and Mountains Painting’ was the best out of them all. However, he did not know what kind of surprise Elder Lin would bring to him today.

“What do you guys think Master Lin is doing? He has already been standing there for an hour and has not touched his brush.”

“I have no idea. He normally spends 10 minutes and yet this time, he is taking an hour. Could it be that today is going to be some earth-shattering work of art?”

“My heart is already starting to tremble.”

“Same here.”

Lin Fan decided his last painting was going to be the ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival Painting’. According to the encyclopedia, this painting had many mixed opinions. Some felt that it was a top piece of art while others felt that it was not up to par with the ‘Thousand Miles of River and Mountains Painting’.

Since it was a very large scale painting, even if it was a world-class artist, it would be impossible to perfectly express every detail of every creature. Those extremely fine details were simply impossible to draw out.

Also, the brushwork and coloring skills required for the ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival Painting’ were more than top notch. Thus, Lin Fan was throwing in his entire concentration and focus on it, to create the most perfect ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival Painting’.

Even though he had the Chinese Art Knowledge as well as the mystical boost from the encyclopedia, the battle this time was not going to be easy. The difficulty level of this was high, extremely high.

This was all because he was going to do a painting that was even higher level than that of the ones in the encyclopedia manuscript.

To other people, this was simply impossible. But to Lin Fan, it was a challenge.

“President, why hasn’t Lin Fan started yet? Based on how he normally works, this is not normal.”

Zheng Zhong Shan shook his head and said, “I don’t know, he could just be thinking about what to paint.”

Tao Shi Gang had some doubts and said, “It doesn’t seem like it. You can see that Elder Lin’s expression is very serious. It is very different from how he has been while on the other paintings.”

“Regardless of which, the other nine paintings are already good enough. We should let Elder Lin relax a bit,” Zheng Zhong Shan said. He was thinking about going in to tell Elder Lin to not go all out as what they had was already enough.

Yue Qiu Ju Shi stopped Elder Zheng and said, “Don’t. Elder Lin is in such a serious state right now, we should not disturb him.”

Meanwhile, while everyone was still in conversation, Lin Fan got into action.

He had already thought of what he was going to do and, at the same time, had prepared himself mentally.

The true top class piece of art was going to be born from his hands.

What he was going to draw would definitely shock the entire world.

This was the first time since he obtained the knowledge of Chinese Art that he was going to be so serious. It was also the first time he had such an imposing stature.

To surpass the top pieces of art in the encyclopedia did come with some pressure but it was not a difficult thing to do.

Time slowly passed.

8 hours had gone by.

The surrounding masters of the association who were looking on had looks of shock on their faces. 8 hours had gone by and Master Lin had still yet to stop. Moreover, his legs had barely even moved and there was still a huge amount of blank space on the canvas.

“What in the world is Elder Lin drawing? Why does it feel like it is so difficult?”

“No idea. We are too far away and can’t see what is going on inside. I’m afraid that we will only know once Elder Lin is done.”

“Why do I feel like something extraordinary is being created.”

Everyone’s eyes shifted to Yue Qiu Ju Shi. At that moment, it wasn’t only him that had this feeling. They all had it too.

The feeling was different from usual.

“It really is difficult to draw.”

Lin Fan muttered in his heart. Every single detail had to be addressed at the highest level. If any of them had a problem, it would ruin the entire end product. As a result, his entire body and mind had to be at its peak condition as he definitely could not make any mistakes.

9 hours passed.

10 hours passed.

Some of them could not stand up any longer. They were feeling very tired and their bodies were starting to give.
