Interesting!
Atop the Cloud Platform, Yang Zhen whose eyes were closed gradually started to find interest. No wonder so many people wanted to paint on the Cloud Platform, this place could actually communicate with heaven and earth and perceive the Heaven and Earth Fetal Breathing.
At that moment, Yang Zhen’s breathing aligned with the Heaven and Earth Fetal Breathing. With every inhale and exhale, it seemed as if he was completely integrated into heaven and earth.
Beside the Cloud Platform, a countless number of people were watching, and an increasing number of people began to gather. Seeing Yang Zhen just sitting there in front of everyone, not in a rush to paint, everyone was startled and stared at him with uncertainty.
The outline of the drawing in Gan Bailin’s hand had already taken shape. A king of the forest, a roaring tiger, seemed to be emerging. Even though it was only an outline, it was giving everyone an oppressive feeling.
“Gan son is indeed worthy of his name with such talent that truly surpasses all. These sketchy strokes have already triggered such a spectacle!”
“This is what they mean by ‘lifelike1. With just a few sparse strokes, the grandeur has already been displayed. Once this painting is completed, what kind of horrific impact will it bring to everyone?”
“What you all may not know is that this Yang Zhen had once caused quite a stir on Turtle Serpent Island using a Roaring Tiger Mountain Forest Painting!” “What?” someone exclaimed in surprise, then, full of excitement and looking at Gan Bailin with fervent admiration in their eyes, said, “So that’s it. Gan son intends to thoroughly defeat Yang Zhen with a Roaring Tiger Mountain Forest Painting. He hasn’t underestimated Yang Zhen at all, on the contrary, he takes him very seriously. This will make the competition very exciting!”
Hummm !
As soon as Gan Bailin made a stroke, a terrifying gust of wind was generated out of thin air. It was howling in mid-air, its moaning sound made people feel as if they were alone in endless mountains!
“This…what terrifying talent inscription, capable of causing a howling gust!”
After a stroke, Gan Bailin’s Roaring Tiger Mountain Forest Painting even detailed the continuous forest, thus forming a sketch.
The terrifying gale swept across the entire Cloud Platform, causing Yang Zhen’s clothes to whip about loudly. Although Yang Zhen appeared unaffected, everyone present knew that under such circumstances, Yang Zhen couldn’t possibly be unaffected and his state of mind must have been disturbed.
Tian Rou looked serious, watching Yang Zhen nervously. Under these conditions, Yang Zhen was already at a disadvantage, especially in terms of state of mind.
Su Dajia nodded, looking at Gan Bailin with surprise, “Gan Bailin is indeed well known in Tieling City for his painting. In such a situation, he could still display such talent. He is indeed worthy of the top spot on the Wenhua list.”
Tian Rou was startled by her words and looked at Su Dajia nervously, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Seeing Tian Rou’s worry, Su Dajia laughed, held Tian Rou’shand, and said, “Xiao Rou, you don’t need to worry. Though Gan Bailin is indeed profound in painting, what I value the most is Yang Zhen’s calm temperament. Painting hastily without understanding the Cloud Platform’s conditions, Gan Bailin is on a narrow path!”
Tian Rou’s expression brightened, she sighed in relief, “You mean, Brother Yang Zhen is trying to comprehend the Cloud Platform?”
Su Dajia nodded, her bright deep eyes twinkled, “But… ”
Hearing these two words, Tian Rou suddenly tensed up and looked at Su Dajia nervously.
Su Dajia looked leisurely at Yang Zhen, “But, understanding Cloud Platform is no easy task, and he must not interrupt halfway through, otherwise, not only will he lose his original comprehension, but he will also forever lose the opportunity to understand Cloud Platform!”
“What?” Tian Rou was greatly shocked and looked incredulously at Su Dajia.
Su Dajia let out a bitter smile and said, “It’s not that I didn’t tell Yang Zhen earlier, but this is something he needs to comprehend on his own. Once encumbered with burden, it’s hard to get into the state. This… is what my master taught me!”
Seeing Su Dajia mention her master, reverence immediately appeared on Tian Rou’s face. She hesitated and asked, “Can Brother Yang Zhen comprehend the Cloud Platform?”
As she spoke, Tian Rou didn’t wait for Su Dajia’s response and suddenly exclaimed in horror, her face pale, “If Brother Yang Zhen can’t comprehend the Cloud Platform, wouldn’t he just sit there forever? What about this contest…” Wouldn’t he lose the contest?
In Tian Rou’s eyes, whether Gan Bailin mocked or despised was irrelevant, she didn’t care at all. In fact, she knew in her heart that Yang Zhen didn’t either.
For a long time, Gan Bailin had not been Yang Zhen’s goal, and what Tian Rou had been concerned with wasn’t if Yang Zhen could beat Gan Bailin.
Could Gan Bailin possibly beat Brother Yang Zhen?
This was simply absurd!
No matter how Gan Bailin ridiculed Yang Zhen, in Tian Rou’s eyes, he was nothing more than a clown. What she cared about was whether Yang Zhen could comprehend Stellar Talent on the Cloud Platform.
Did Su Dajia open the Cloud Platform for Gan Bailin?
This was even more ridiculous.
In reality, after the Sneaky Cat had somehow climbed onto the Cloud Platform and claimed that in Yang Zhen’s eyes, this thing was just child’s play. When Su Dajia, who was supposedly unparalleled in talent, spoke such ludicrous words as offering to be Yang Zhen’s slave, she and Tian Rou discussed that once Yang Zhen arrived in Tieling City, they would let him try the Cloud Platform to see if he could successfully comprehend Stellar Talent.
Competing with Gan Bailin in painting now was just something Su Dajia and Tian Rou went along with.
What is Stellar Talent? It’s a powerful force that can stir up the universe and even the myriad stars. It isn’t so easily understood. In fact, even Su Dajia, who had already gained Stellar Talent, had hit a bottleneck and hadn’t been able to make any further progress for a long time.
No one understood better than Tian Rou why Su Dajia held a grand competition every month. It was because she hoped to find someone who could potentially comprehend Stellar Talent and jointly delve into its mysteries.
Now that Yang Zhen had arrived, the expectations in Su Dajia and Tian Rou’s hearts were beyond anyone’s understanding.
But in this situation, Yang Zhen was actually sitting on the Cloud Platform, which made Su Dajia and Tian Rou, who didn’t care about Gan Bailin at all, extremely worried.
If Yang Zhen really just sat on the Cloud Platform without moving, then… Wouldn’t his reputation be ruined by Gan Bailin?
If Yang Zhen didn’t produce any painting at all, Gan Bailin could just doodle something and still claim to have beaten Yang Zhen!
Tian Rou and Su Dajia exchanged worried glances.
Staring at Yang Zhen, Su Dajia murmured, “Did I do something wrong? Should
I not have let you onto the Cloud Platform?”
As she spoke, a shadow of sadness flashed in Su Dajia’s eyes. She said, “I just wanted… wanted one more person to comprehend Stellar Talent, to jointly explore its principles. If… if you fail, I…”
Just then, there was a booming sound from the Cloud Platform, followed by a terrifying roar. A tiger with glaring eyes materialized in mid-air, roaring and growling at Yang Zhen. A monstrous aura surged skyward, gathering in midair, and turned into oppressive force, rushing toward Yang Zhen.
Everyone was taken aback, staring in horror as waves of violent energy surged toward Yang Zhen, their faces filled with shock and astonishment.
However, just at this critical juncture, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his head. His eyes snapped open, and a smug smile tugged at his lips. He murmured to himself, “So, that’s how it is. The big cat is not bad, but you don’t understand the charm of Sao Saint. You all…haven’t experienced it yet!”
“He’s awake!” Tian Rou cried out in surprise, then joyfully pulled at Su Dajia’s hand, “Sister, Brother Yang Zhen is awake!”
