Goddess Painting

Wang Tianyi was even more excited.

As if remembering something, he suddenly turned around, glared angrily at the disciples behind him who were still discussing Qin Feng, and shouted:

"Shut up! All of you, shut up!"

"Why even mention Qin Feng? That unlucky name doesn't even deserve to be mentioned at a time like this!"

"The Qin family is long gone! From now on, the Qingyun Sect will only have the Lin family as its true dragon!"

Having said that, he switched to an extremely fawning expression, bowing and scraping before Lin Zhengnan:

"Master Lin, if your son achieves great success in the future, don't forget your younger brother!"

At this moment, Lin Zhengnan felt as if all 36,000 pores on his body had opened up.

Cool!

So cool!

For so many years, the Lin family has always been overshadowed by the Qin family.

Today, I can finally hold my head high!

However, he forgot that the Lin family's success today was entirely due to the support of the Qin family.

Lin Zhengnan stroked his beard with feigned composure and said calmly:

"Of course, of course... Elder Wang, rest assured, I, Lin, am very sentimental."

"when--!!!"

Just then.

The tenth shot has been fired!

This clear and resonant voice soared straight to the heavens!

Suddenly, a blinding golden light burst forth from the golden bell!

"A top-grade spiritual root!!"

"It's appeared! A top-grade spiritual root!!"

"It really reached the highest level! The strange phenomenon last night was correct!"

Several guardian elders who had initially sympathized with Qin Feng's plight because of the Lin family's reneging on the marriage exchanged glances and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

pity?

In this world where the strong rule, what's the value of sympathy?

Offending a family with a genius possessing top-tier spiritual roots is tantamount to courting death!

"Patriarch Lin is truly righteous! What merit or ability does Qin Feng possess to be worthy of Miss Lin?"

"Exactly! This is like a toad trying to eat swan meat! Seeing it today, it's clear the Lin family had great foresight!"

Hearing the complete change in the wind direction around her, Lin Yuyan's smile grew even wider.

Did you see Qin Feng?

this is the truth.

This is the insurmountable chasm between us!

Just then.

An elderly man from a sect narrowed his eyes slightly: "The strange phenomenon I witnessed yesterday... I'm afraid ten strikes aren't even the limit!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

One breath!

Five sounds in total!

Without any pause!

Even the echoes overlapped, transforming into a sonic wave powerful enough to shatter the soul, sweeping across the entire arena!

Fifteen shots!!!

The world is quiet.

Utter silence.

The wind stopped, and the clouds dispersed.

Everyone's expressions froze on their faces, as if they had been collectively frozen in place.

Everyone knows that the strange phenomenon last night was terrifying, and Lin Yi's aptitude may very well surpass that of a top-tier student!

But when that moment actually arrived, everyone was still shocked!

Five breaths passed in total.

The whisk in Wang Tianyi's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

He, however, was completely oblivious, and just muttered to himself blankly:

"Ten...fifteen shots?"

"A Saint-grade spiritual root?!"

The surrounding crowd seemed to only then regain their breath, and gasps of astonishment rose and fell.

"My God... a sacred item..."

"When Her Highness the Holy Maiden awakened, it only took fifteen rings of the golden bell, right?!"

"This Lin Yi... he can actually rival Her Highness the Holy Maiden?!"

terror!

too scary!

Lin Zhengnan was so excited that his vision blurred and he almost fainted on the spot.

He gripped Lin Yuyan's arm tightly, his nails digging deep into her flesh, his voice trembling uncontrollably:

"Yu Yan... Yu Yan, can you hear me?!"

"Fifteen shots! That's your brother! He's a member of the Lin family!!"

"Our Lin family... is about to become the number one family among all sects!!"

Lin Yuyan's beautiful eyes were wide open, her chest heaving violently, and her breathing was so rapid that she seemed to be suffocating.

A divine item!

My younger brother is actually a legendary holy item!

Even with her superior ice spirit root, she paled in comparison to her younger brother!

Just as everyone was preparing to rush forward and fawn over the Lin family, pushing the carnival to its climax—

Boom!!!

A terrifying pressure, as vast as an abyss and as cold as ancient ice, descended from the sky without warning!

The temperature in the square plummeted instantly!

The previously enthusiastic crowd fell silent as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads!

Everyone turned pale, their knees buckled, and they all uncontrollably knelt down on the ground!

midair.

A peerless figure descended through the air.

Dressed in white, her hair as black as a waterfall.

Su Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of the Qingyun Sect!

She ignored the kneeling crowd and didn't even glance at the Lin family father and daughter, who were beaming with joy and about to step forward to pay their respects.

Those beautiful eyes, usually as clear and cool as an ancient well, untouched by worldly dust.

At this moment, however, he stared intently at the tightly closed bronze door of the main hall!

Lin Yi?

Fifteen strikes of the golden bell?

It seems that another great talent is about to emerge from my Qingyun Sect!

However... Qin Feng was also in there.

Su Qinghan's beautiful eyes were cold, but her heart was far from calm.

The thought of Qin Feng reminded her of her humiliation last night.

……

Meanwhile, inside the bronze gate.

The air seemed to freeze.

The golden bell was still emitting a faint hum, and the visible golden ripples were still surging in the air.

Lin Yi, who was being wildly praised by outsiders as an unparalleled genius and even slated to be the future hope of the sect, was staring blankly at Qin Feng with his mouth agape.

They even forgot to breathe!

Qin Feng slowly withdrew his slightly numb hand, and the sharp glint in the depths of his eyes not only did not dissipate, but became even more profound.

"Fifteen shots?"

"A Saint-grade spiritual root?"

He muttered to himself.

"Su Qinghan also had fifteen strikes back then, and was also a Saint-grade spiritual root..."

Qin Feng frowned almost imperceptibly.

What a coincidence!

It was exactly fifteen shots?

Is it just a divine item?

To verify his conjecture, Qin Feng's mind stirred, and his dantian trembled violently.

call!

A wisp of pale blue mist appeared in his palm without warning, instantly condensing into a crystal-clear water ball that danced and spun merrily at his fingertips!

Water Spirit Root!

It really is a water system!

Qin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

You should know that Su Qinghan has a water elemental root!

"Could it be that I, like Su Qinghan, share the same water-attribute energy?"

"Could it be...?"

A bold, almost insane idea exploded in his mind:

That pen served a purpose far beyond simply improving qualifications!

Instead... copying?!

Or perhaps something even more ruthless...plunder?!

It perfectly replicated the spiritual qualities of the objects it "desecrated" in its paintings onto itself, even after refining them!

Gudong.

Qin Feng's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the bouncing water ball on his fingertip, his heart racing.

If that's really the case...

The value of that pen is simply unimaginable!

This is hardly a discarded calligraphy brush.

This is clearly a heaven-defying artifact that steals secrets from the heavens!

"but……"

Qin Feng's eyes flickered as he forcibly suppressed the burning desire in his heart.

"A single piece of evidence is not enough; more examples are needed to prove it."

"If I were to draw another person next time, I could also acquire their talent..."

Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Then in this cultivation world, who can stop me?

Just as Qin Feng was immersed in deducing the abilities of the divine brush, a gasp of astonishment finally came from the side.

"hiss--!!!"

Qin Feng snapped out of his daze and turned to look.

Lin Yi remained in that dazed posture, looking as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Alright."

Qin Feng smiled calmly, reached out and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, breaking his petrified state:

"What are you daydreaming about? It's your turn."

"ah?!"

Lin Yi shuddered and suddenly came to his senses!

He looked at Qin Feng with an almost fanatical adoration in his eyes!

"Brother-in-law!"

Lin Yi suddenly took a step forward, his hands trembling with excitement, his voice shaking:

"You're too strong!!"

"That's fifteen shots! A legendary, holy-grade spiritual root!"

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and he slapped his thigh, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light:

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"Brother-in-law, you were also cultivating at the Lin family's house last night, weren't you?!"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile, without denying it.

Seeing Qin Feng's tacit agreement, Lin Yi became even more excited, his cheeks flushed red with excitement:

"I knew it! That celestial phenomenon that covered a hundred miles last night was all your doing, brother-in-law, wasn't it?!"

"I knew my meager skills couldn't possibly cause such a terrifying commotion. Don't I know my own limitations?"

"So it was you!"

"So it really was you, brother-in-law!"

At this moment, Lin Yi felt no jealousy at being overshadowed; instead, he was pleasantly surprised, thinking, "Just as I expected!"

He grabbed Qin Feng's sleeve, his tone filled with adoration, like a devoted fan:

"Brother-in-law! You're simply amazing!"

"My dad and sister actually thought it was me... But they'd be so happy if they knew the truth!"
