Things turned out just as Xiaolin Dazhu expected. When the news came out that Zhuge Qiuliang was going to participate in the Qi Chu Wen Du, the calligraphy circles in all continents were shocked!

Same night.

Zhongzhou Calligraphy Circle.

"Have you heard the news? Zhuge Qiuliang is going to participate in the Qi Chu Wen Du!"

"Isn't the Qi Chuwen fight a matter between Qizhou and Chuzhou? Zhuge is from Zhongzhou. Why did he join in the fun? Was he serving as a judge for a calligraphy project?"

"It is said that he is working as a foreign aid for Chuzhou!"

"Are you kidding me? Xiaolin Dazhu is in charge of Chuzhou and needs foreign aid?"

"I'm not joking, because there is a foreign aid over there in Qizhou. Xiaolin Dazhu probably invited Zhuge over because he was not sure."

"Could it be..."

"Yes, it's that person!"

"Lin Zhibai, the author of "Lanting Preface" is the best running script in the world!"

"It seems that being slapped in the face at the charity dinner was a big blow to Zhuge."

Zhuge Qiuliang is known as "Blue Star's No. 1 Calligrapher". At least until he met Lin Zhibai, no one dared to question his title!

It just happened to be at this year's charity dinner.

Zhuge Qiuliang's running script works were crushed by Lin Zhibai's "Lanting Preface", a running script work that can be said to be "astonishing to heaven and earth"!

After this battle.

The Blue Star calligraphy world is shocked!

All calligraphers around the world remember that handsome face that was too young!

Lin Zhibai's "Lanting Preface" still holds the highest auction price for a contemporary calligrapher's work——

Six hundred million!

This is a number that all contemporary calligraphers must look up to!

For this reason, many people in the calligraphy circle now believe that Lin Zhibai is the real number one calligrapher of Blue Star.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Besides, Zhuge Qiuliang only lost to Lin Zhibai in running script. Calligraphy is not just about running script.

As everyone knows.

Zhuge Qiuliang is better at regular script than running script, and in recent years he has become obsessed with the study of cursive script.

Who knows if Lin Zhibai is a master of cursive script, and if he changes his font style, he may not be Zhuge Qiuliang's opponent?

This caused controversy in the calligraphy circle——

That is to say, in terms of overall strength, who is more powerful, Lin Zhibai or Zhuge Qiuliang?

However, regardless of the debate, at least one thing everyone is sure of is that the number one calligrapher in Blue Star will inevitably emerge from Zhuge Qiuliang and Lin Zhibai.

Everyone else is not qualified!

And this time Qi Chu Wen Du finally provided a stage for a comprehensive competition between these two top calligraphy masters!

The rhythm of a comet hitting a blue star!

This makes all calligraphers in Middle-earth crazy!

Almost all the calligraphers with names in Central Continent are looking for connections to buy air tickets as soon as possible. They want to arrive at Qi Chu Wen Dou's scene tomorrow and witness the duel between the two peak Blue Star calligraphers!

For aspiring calligraphers!

If they cannot witness this battle with their own eyes, it may become a lifelong regret for them!

In Gu Long's novel, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng have a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, and all the big guys in the martial arts world come to witness it in person.

The battle between Lin Zhibai and Zhuge Qiuliang can be regarded as similar but similar to the calligraphers of Zhongzhou.

Of course it’s not just Middle-earth.

Calligraphers from almost all continents took action immediately after receiving the news!

This group of people tried their best to get on-site tickets for Qi Chuwendou's calligraphy project!

…

Lin Zhibai learned from Hu Weina at seven o'clock in the evening that Chuzhou was planning to find Zhuge Qiuliang as a foreign aid.

Hu Wei, who originally thought that Lin Zhibai had secured the gold medal in calligraphy, said depressedly: "Why did Zhuge Qiuliang suddenly become a foreign aid to Chuzhou..."

"Maybe it's because of me."

Lin Zhibai still had an impression of Zhuge Qiuliang. His calligraphy skills were legendary, which was over 90 points!

However, Lin Zhibai is a 100% calligraphy god, a level higher than a legend, and can be said to be a state of perfection that is almost impossible for humans to achieve.

Therefore, Lin Zhibai was not panicked at all, and was even a little happy.

Because this time, as long as I completely defeat Zhuge Qiu Liang, he will be the "No. 1 calligrapher of Blue Star" in the true sense.

Even if this is already a fact, it still needs a grand proof ceremony, right?

Hu Wei was worried, "Is President Lin sure?"

Lin Zhibai smiled and said, "It's not like I haven't beaten him."

Hu Wei heard the confidence in Lin Zhibai's words and felt a little more at ease.

Indeed, as Lin Zhibai said, he is the only person in Blue Star who has defeated Zhuge Qiu Liang once.

It was also because of that crushing victory that some people believed that Lin Zhibai was the number one calligrapher in Blue Star.

"As long as you have confidence, in fact, what I am most worried about is not calligraphy, but poetry. As expected, Chuzhou has begun to look for foreign aid for poetry this year, and it is Zhao Zhou who is famous for his ruthlessness. Role……"

"How cruel?"

Lin Zhibai was curious. He didn't know much about literati other than Qin Qi.

Shi Yun next to him introduced: "The foreign aid Chuzhou Phrases is Zhao Xinyou from Zhaozhou. She is known as the most talented woman in Zhaozhou, but her level is not even a little bit higher than our most talented girl Xia Xinyi in Qizhou. You can take a look. This man’s masterpiece.”

"Amazing!"

Lin Zhibai read a few of Zhao Xinyou's lyrics and was very impressed that there was such a terrifying female lyricist in the contemporary era, she was like the Blue Star version of Li Qingzhao!

certainly.

Compared with Li Qingzhao, she is still a little less spiritual after all, but this girl's level is enough to dominate the Blue Star Ci Circle!

"Look again at this Zhaozhou Poetry Maniac Zhou Yulou."

"Poetry mad?"

"Yes, this is Zhou Yulou's nickname. He has a habit of writing a poem every day, and the quality is not bad. Also, he is very good at creating on the spot. No matter what topic is given to him, he can do it. The poems were completed quickly, and the quality is not bad, which is why he is known as Zhaozhou Poetry Maniac. These are his more representative works."

"Wow!"

Lin Zhibai looked at Zhou Yulou's poems and was shocked. Although he couldn't compare with Li Du, he was definitely not an ordinary person!

He lamented: "In these continents outside Qin and Qi, poetry has developed so prosperously."

Hu Wei said quickly: "No, no, no, the eight continents of Blue Star can be said to have good poetry development. In fact, the main ones are Zhaozhou and Zhongzhou. The level of the remaining six continents including Qin Qichu and us is about the same."

"Zhao Zhou?"

"Yes, the most powerful one is Zhaozhou. Their poetry is particularly powerful. So last year and this year, the foreign aid Chuzhou looked for was basically all from Zhaozhou. If President Lin hadn't dropped from the sky, I'm afraid we would have gone to Zhaozhou this year. Zhaozhou has to find foreign aid, after all, the only foreign aid that can cure Zhaozhou is another Zhaozhou foreign aid."

Lin Zhibai smiled.

Want to defeat magic with magic?

It doesn't matter, I'm playing magic!

…

Although Lin Zhibai's self-confidence was overwhelming and he looked like a supporting villain who could easily be slapped in the face, he actually knew in his heart that if he competed like this, he would fail in many events.

Yes.

night.

Everyone went to rest and recharge for tomorrow's game.

Lin Zhibai sat on the bed, his eyes flickering slightly. He was going to start adding more food in advance!

Since the last stud, Lin Zhibai has accumulated another 30 skill points, and he plans to prepare in advance tonight!

"Among the seven projects, poetry and couplets are systematically included, so there is no need to worry, and there is no need to worry about calligraphy. As for Go and Guqin, these two can be directly improved by purchasing skill books in the mall, so the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the painting project. "

Lin Zhibai's painting is currently at 80 points.

Any contestant in the painting event would have a strength of over 80 points, so Lin Zhibai’s level is definitely not good enough——

With a strength of more than 80 points, he is a master in this field.

With a strength of over 90 points, he is a legend in this field.

If your strength reaches the limit of 100 points, you are a god in this field!

Lin Zhibai will become the "god of calligraphy" in people's minds as long as he defeats Zhuge Qiuliang tomorrow.

Then let the world see your painting ability a little bit, Blue Star is about to welcome a "God of Painting"!

"Crimson, add more!"

"May I ask which category the host is going to add, and how much specifically?"

"Painting, refill!"

Lin Zhibai now has thirty skill points.

Even if he directly fills up the painting, he still has ten skill points left. He has never fought such a rich battle in various stud games before!

"Ding dong!"

About a minute passed, and the crimson voice sounded again:

"Congratulations to the host for reaching 100 points in painting skills and becoming the only painting god on Blue Star!"

The only painting god in Blue Star!

Lin Zhibai smiled, tomorrow's game is safe!

Right now.

The system beeps again:

"It is detected that the host's painting and calligraphy have reached the god level at the same time, triggering the hidden reward [writing as if there is a god]!"

Hidden rewards! ?

I haven’t encountered this thing in a long time!

Lin Zhibai felt happy, and then a line of subtitles appeared in front of his eyes.

[The writing is like a god: Passive skill, the host’s calligraphy works and paintings will have special effects in the future. 】

"What are special effects?"

Lin Zhibai felt that this introduction was too general.

Scarlet Hong personally explained: "For example, even if the general public sees the original "Lanting Preface", they may not be able to clearly realize its artistic value. This is because the threshold for appreciating calligraphy and painting is naturally very high, and [the pen is as follows] Youshen] is a passive skill that allows the host’s works to be given special effects. This special effect means that even ordinary people who don’t know how to appreciate the art of calligraphy and painting can intuitively feel the artistic charm of the host’s works!”

I suck!

This is a magical skill!

Lin Zhibai's eyes were shining. He quickly picked up the pen at hand and started drawing "One Piece" using the notebook provided in the hotel.

Previously this comic was drawn using professional tools.

This time Lin Zhibai was painting purely by hand, using a simple black ballpoint pen to easily draw a few pictures.

"so beautiful!"

These pictures looked simple, but Lin Zhibai knew very well how much progress he had made!

You can say that:

After becoming the god of painting, Lin Zhibai looked back at his previous painting of "One Piece" and realized how bad it was!

Cook like a master!

…

The next day.

Lin Zhibai didn't get up until nine o'clock.

Because the new skill triggered last night was so awesome that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

But no one called him.

Because the game only starts tonight.

A total of seven projects cannot be completed in one day. We must continue to compete for seven days, one project every day.

"Have you rested enough?"

After getting up and having a buffet at the hotel, Lin Zhibai met Shi Yun.

"Um."

Lin Zhibai said: "The competition venue is said to be on the mountain at the junction of Qi and Chu. When should we set off?"

"Old nonsense didn't make it clear."

"Not all projects will be competed there, but some projects will be competed there."

"Today is the first day of competition. The first competition event is Guqin, and our competition venue is Chuzhou Music Hall."

"As for the location of this music hall, it's only seven or eight kilometers away from us. Just wait until four o'clock in the afternoon for everyone to set off together."

Shi Yun introduced the situation.

Lin Zhibai nodded. He knew that today's first project was Guqin.

He has read a lot of skill books, and his current Guqin level is about 90 points.

If you want to reach the level of god-level guqin, you need to spend a lot of reputation points. Lin Zhibai is a little reluctant and is ready to see how the competition goes.

in other words……

If it is discovered that among the five players in Chuzhou, there is a legendary master, then Lin Zhibai will cheat without hesitation!

However, legendary masters were too rare. Lin Zhibai felt that those participating in the Qi Chu Wen Dou should all be rookie masters.

While thinking, Lin Zhibai took the food.

When he was about to eat, he found that Shi Yun was still following him, as if he was preparing to dine with him.

He didn't say anything and started eating sushi.

The culture of Chuzhou is very similar to the neon in the previous life. There are all kinds of sushi in the buffet, and some of them seem to taste pretty good.

"You may not know that because of your participation this year, this year's Qi Chu Wen Dou is particularly lively. It is said that officials from several continents have come to communicate with the organizers and purchased broadcast rights from the organizers, including Zhongzhou, Zhaozhou and Qinzhou..."

"Zhaozhou and Zhongzhou have nothing to do with me."

This is like the Asian Games. In fact, Westerners don’t watch it very much.

For the same reason, Blue Star's Qi Chuwen Dou naturally has no interest in other continents.

But because Lin Zhibai participated as Qizhou's foreign aid, the officials from Qinzhou followed the voice of the people and purchased the rights to broadcast the game.

In this way, when the game officially starts, the people of Qinzhou who are familiar with Lin Zhibai will watch the live broadcast.

Lin Zhibai can understand this, his popularity in Qinzhou is already unmatched.

But what does Zhaozhou and Zhongzhou have to do with me?

"Okay, Zhaozhou has nothing to do with you, but Zhongzhou definitely has something to do with you!"

Shi Yun said: "After all, your opponent is Zhuge Qiuliang. His influence in Central Continent is very huge. He even invited Zhuge Qiuliang to inscribe on several very famous landmarks in Central Continent. Therefore, the people of Central Continent are also very curious. His calligraphy is the best in the world. Zhuge Qiuliang, what will be the result of a full-scale confrontation with you..."

"Calligraphy is just one of the projects, right?"

"Yes, but Zhongzhou has a lot of money. They won't just buy the broadcast rights for one project, but buy them all at once. But I guess the people in Zhongzhou are not interested in competitions in other projects except the calligraphy competition that day."

"All right."

Lin Zhibai hoped that the people of Zhongzhou would be interested and watch more of his games.

After all, I will definitely hit Central Continent in the future!
