Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Far behind.

Cézanne wiped his eyes and looked at the painting again carefully.

Because it was just finished, the paint on the canvas was not completely dry, giving off a unique paint smell.

She couldn't help but swallow.

I really want it

Like Gretchen before him, Cézanne was also powerless against perfection.

Especially this newly completed work; as the first person fortunate enough to see it in person, Cézanne developed a strong desire to possess it.

As for the outcome of the match and the result of the bet? They were no longer important to Cézanne.

At this time, outside the door.

Seeing that it was almost time, the crowd couldn't contain themselves and began to stir again.

"Is it almost over?"

"Yes, the results should be out soon."

"No need to overthink it, the president will win!"

"I think so."

""

Most people thought Cézanne would win, and believed that it was because of Kavi's bad draw that led to this result, which made Kavi very depressed.

He said fiercely, "I just felt that the master would win!"

This seemed to alleviate his embarrassment somewhat.

At the front of the crowd, closest to the room door, were Teacher Gao and Gretchen. Gretchen was also getting a little nervous.

Teacher Gao smiled and asked, "Gresh, who do you think will win?"

Gretchen paused slightly, then said firmly, "I think Chiku-nii will win."

Teacher Gao was quite surprised: "Oh? You're so confident in him? His rival is Cézanne. You should know Cézanne's oil painting skills very well; many teachers can't compare to her. Or do you know your rival's abilities?"

Greta shook her head: "I have never seen Chiku paint an oil painting, but I believe in him."

Teacher Gao: ""

She scrutinized Gretsch carefully and seriously suspected that her star student had developed a love-struck mind.

Just then, a cheer erupted from the crowd.

"Come out! Come out!"

Bai Qianqu and Cézanne finally emerged from the room, but both of them were empty-handed, carrying nothing—clearly, the painting was still inside.

The outcome is still unclear.

Everyone carefully observed the expressions on the two people's faces:

Bai Qianqu remained expressionless and aloof as always, without a trace of a smile.

This looks like a loss, doesn't it? After all, many people have this expression when they lose.

And it seems like they lost pretty badly?

However, upon seeing Cézanne's expression again, everyone began to hesitate and waver.

Because compared to Bai Qianqu's expressionless face, Cézanne was even more unbearable.

She looked preoccupied and absent-minded, and her steps were unsteady. She almost tripped over the door frame when she went out.

Fortunately, Bai Qianqu reached out and helped her up, preventing her from falling.

Cézanne glanced at everyone, looking lost and dejected, and also saw Professor Gao and Gretchen.

"Professor Gao, you're here too?"

Teacher Gao nodded: "Yes, I heard you made a bet with someone in a competition, so I came to see how it went."

Cézanne gave a wry smile and shook his head slightly: "I can't say, you'll have to come in and see for yourself."

Teacher Gao naturally had no reason to refuse; she was also very curious.

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look. I can be the referee for you guys."

Cézanne shook his head again, looking dejected: "There's no need for a referee, the result is already obvious."

Teacher Gao was stunned for a moment. She had roughly guessed the outcome. She glanced at Bai Qianqu beside her with great surprise, and then quickly walked into the room.

Gretchen then came to Bai Qianqu's side: "Brother Qianqu!"

Upon seeing Gretchen, Bai Qianqu finally smiled and said somewhat awkwardly:

"I'm sorry, Gretchen, for barging in without permission and causing you trouble."

Greta smiled sweetly: "It's alright, as long as Chiku-nii is happy."

Cézanne glanced at the two men and said to the others, "Stand outside the door and don't go in."

After saying that, he turned and went into the room.

Seeing this, Bai Qianqu also led Gretchen inside.

The students didn't understand Cézanne's order, but no one dared to disobey, so they stood at the door, tiptoeing to peek inside.

Chapter 336 If you like it, I’ll give it to you

Teacher Gao had already walked up to Cézanne's work. Upon seeing "The House of the Hanged," he immediately smiled and couldn't help but praise it:

"This is your best painting ever, and your technique has improved again."

The students at the entrance craned their necks and saw Cézanne's painting, and they all started discussing it.

"so amazing!"

"Awesome!"

"The president is too ruthless! He actually used his full strength!"

"They've already used their best skills."

"No wonder the pro player had that expression just now; it seems he really lost badly."

Teacher Gao nodded in satisfaction, then slowly walked over to Bai Qianqu's work.

Bai Qianqu's work, unlike Cézanne's, was facing away from the doorway, so it was invisible to everyone except for Teacher Gao and Gretchen who were walking by.

Everyone was looking forward to Professor Gao's comments.

However, soon, under everyone's gaze, Teacher Gao's expression changed drastically, and she even took a step back in full view of everyone!

The entire room fell silent.

The people outside the door waited for a long time, and seeing that Teacher Gao inside the room had not made any statement, they all frowned and sensed that something was wrong.

Even Kavi noticed that something was wrong.

Why did Teacher Gao react so strangely?

Teacher Gao finally came to her senses. She didn't explain anything, but instead stepped forward with a serious expression and carefully examined Bai Qianqu's painting. Her cautious manner made it seem as if she were looking at a very precious work of art, afraid of causing it even the slightest damage.

That's definitely the right thing to do. The paint on the painting isn't dry yet, so you have to be careful, otherwise it could cause serious damage if you touch it.

She bent over and examined it carefully for a full five or six minutes before finally straightening up, still wanting more.

Teacher Gao took a deep breath and said with great emotion, "This painting is brightly colored, has a unique composition, and profound meaning. It uses bold and vivid colors, which makes the picture full of vitality. The yellow sunflowers stand out against the blue background."

“Each flower is like a flame, and the delicate petals and sunflower leaves are like sparks. The whole painting is like a raging fire burning across the canvas, and the intense emotions are completely melted into the symphony of colors and brushstrokes.”

"This is absolutely a masterpiece of oil painting!"

The students outside the door widened their eyes upon hearing Teacher Gao's evaluation!

It's worth noting that Teacher Gao's skill level is among the top in the instructors. To receive her praise, the painting must be exceptionally good. Her comment, "Master level," left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

It's not that people doubt Professor Gao's abilities, but rather that the title of "master" is simply too intimidating.

Although art academies have renowned masters, most of the students present had never seen them before.

In everyone's mind, a master painter should be an elderly person with white hair and a sage-like demeanor.

But when everyone looked at Bai Qianqu, they just couldn't bring themselves to call him a "master of painting".

Some students wanted to go inside to see what was going on, but Cézanne stopped them.

"Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter to prevent damage to the artwork!"

Although some people were dissatisfied with this statement, they were able to remain rational.

Indeed, if there are too many people, the oil painting is very likely to be damaged.

But this only made everyone more curious.

Ms. Gao clearly realized this, and she carefully turned the easel so that the students at the door could see it.

Everyone finally saw Bai Qianqu's painting "Sunflowers," and they were all stunned at first glance, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Bai Qianqu.

Those present were all students with basic art appreciation skills, so naturally there was no situation where they couldn't understand anything. Everyone immediately recognized the brilliance of the painting.

Whether it's structure, color, or drawing, everything is top-notch!

Some students, after regaining their composure, immediately praised it highly: "Extremely strong color contrast and powerful, passionate brushstrokes!"

"Sunflowers represent light and hope; yellow represents the color of the sun, and sunlight symbolizes love. Each flower is like a flickering flame, expressing a passionate love for life!"

The student's words resonated with many people.

Those who can come to the School of Fine Arts at Changkong University are all outstanding individuals, and naturally possess rich artistic emotions. "Sunflower" is a painting that can most easily arouse the interest of viewers and immediately resonate with everyone.

Looking at this painting, everyone seems to glean the following message:

Treat others with kindness, treat friends with sincerity, approach life with gratitude, and enjoy art with appreciation—like the sunflowers blooming before your eyes, forever full of vitality and hope.

While technique is certainly important in a true masterpiece, the most crucial element is undoubtedly the rich emotions and profound thoughts it embodies.

Even people who know nothing about art can feel a deep sense of emotion when they look at the works of masters.

This is a true "masterpiece".
