Exploding God

Chapter 1163 Elder Tianhua, did you study abroad?

"What's wrong?"

Lu Ze asked with a smile.

Song Tianhua glanced at Tantai Chongjin, whose face remained dark, and steeled himself before asking, "Regarding that... road sign, do you have any specific requirements?"

After speaking, Song Tianhua glanced at the side out of the corner of his eye. Elder Chongjin's face seemed even darker, but he didn't say anything, presumably because he wouldn't raise any objections.

【Alas, Brother Chongjin, Tianhua is sorry, but this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Mr. Lu rarely takes the initiative to ask for things before, but the Song family must seize this opportunity today!】

Song Tianhua must have felt guilty, after all, discussing how to arrange the remains of the other party's family elder in front of them was more than just a matter of losing face.

Those Tantai people were all skilled in martial arts, and their expressions immediately changed upon hearing this.

When they saw Elder Chongjin standing indifferently at the front, the clansmen suppressed their grief and indignation, holding back all their emotions.

If we're talking about the most humiliating thing, who could compare to Elder Chongjin's humiliation!

Even Han Xin suffered the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs in the past; today, the elder statesman is leading the charge alone into the tiger's den.

Elder Chongjin remained silent and made no unnecessary movements, undoubtedly trying to remind us not to act rashly.

So the group of Tantai people, who were completely absorbed in their own strategy, stood quietly behind Tantai Chongjin, appearing extremely solemn.

Suddenly sensing the quiet presence of Tantai Chongjin behind him, his cheek muscles began to tremble again.

I have trouble speaking because I stutter. Do you guys stutter too?

Or are all of you more than a hundred people mute?

This is simply...outrageous.

Blood vessels began to appear on Tantai Chongjin's eyes.

This rather ferocious expression made Song Tianhua even more reluctant to do it. Knowing that his actions were somewhat dishonest, he turned his head away.

Unexpectedly, the subtle movements and expressions of the two were all observed by the Tantai people behind them.

I'm moved to tears...

The last glory of the Tantai family in this place was maintained entirely by Elder Chongjin!

As a result, these people stood in a more obedient manner.

……

Lu Ze glanced at the side with a puzzled look.

He's serious one minute and relaxed the next, it's inexplicable.

Unexpectedly, these Tantai people are so obedient without their Grand Elder. Indeed, capturing the leader is an enduring truth.

The thought flashed through his mind and he quickly dismissed it. He looked at Song Tianhua's questioning gaze and gestured for them to talk as they walked.

"There should be some underlying thought involved, preferably something thought-provoking... You can decide the specific form of expression yourself."

To be honest, Lu Ze didn't really want to discuss how to arrange the skeleton, but he didn't want to dampen Song Tianhua's enthusiasm in front of so many people.

Song Tianhua's expression turned serious, and he quickly extracted the key elements in his mind and memorized them.

[Inner Reflection], [Thought-Provoking!]

As expected of Mr. Lu!

Song Tianhua admired it in his heart.

These two words instantly broadened his horizons and provided him with countless inspirations. He couldn't help but wave to the side, and his subordinate immediately understood and handed him paper and pen.

With a few quick strokes, Song Tianhua drew as he walked, after all, he was an 11-star martial artist who was proficient in architecture, and his professional level was at the peak of the industry.

Before he had taken more than ten steps, Song Tianhua had already finished two sketches.

"Mr. Lu, what do you think of this one?"

Lu Ze looked at Song Tianhua with great admiration, thinking that he was indeed from a family of infrastructure builders, but his skill in quick sketching alone was enough to establish a school of thought in domestic colleges and universities.

Hmm, let me see...

Lu Ze's expression suddenly turned strange.

Song Tianhua didn't notice Lu Ze's expression. His gaze was still fixed on his own sketch, his eyes gleaming with the excitement of a professional. He continued, "Mr. Lu, what you just said was excellent, especially the tone you set. I almost instantly had an idea. Look at this one, it's already missing an arm... I think we need to preserve the sense of loss, a kind of beauty of regret, which gives the viewer room for imagination. So I'll use sculpture to build up the lower body, with a slightly tilted and twisted angle, a semi-sculptural style, a standing posture..."

As Song Tianhua spoke at an increasingly rapid pace, Lu Ze's cheeks twitched slightly.

Looking at the outline of the character on Song Tianhua's paper, it was clearly the ancient Greek marble statue—Venus de Milo with the missing arms!

Is this sculpture called "Tantai Zhongyi with a Broken Arm"?

The mere thought of that word made him unable to look at it directly.

"Next page," Lu Ze said softly, trying his best to keep his emotions hidden.

"Oh, okay." Song Tianhua had just finished his introduction. Seeing Lu Ze urging him, he realized that he tended to get carried away when he got into his field of expertise and easily lost track of time. This occasion was clearly not suitable for him to linger too long, so he quickly turned to the next page.

Upon seeing his second drawing, Song Tianhua's eyes lit up again; he believed the character had been further elevated!

"Mr. Lu, look..."

"The Thinker!?" Lu Ze glanced at it and blurted out subconsciously.

There was no need to confirm; the outline was far too familiar. It was clearly Rodin's masterpiece sculpture, "The Thinker." The only difference was that Tantai Zhongyi's skeleton only had one arm, so he could only use that single arm to support his chin. The left arm was empty, and it even seemed to have a more imposing presence than the original.

"Hiss." Song Tianhua's soul trembled, then he exclaimed in admiration, "What a wonderful name! It's so fitting!"

Lu Ze stamped his foot.

Song Tianhua stopped and looked over curiously.

Lu Ze's gaze was complex and unreadable. "Did Elder Song come up with all of this on his own?"

How could it not be accurate? Lu Ze almost thought that Wuyuan Riku and the Earth world were connected by the Internet.

"Yes, but it was mainly you who inspired me."

"I..." Lu Ze paused for a moment, then asked, "Did Elder Song study abroad?"

"Study abroad? The Song family members are all educated in their own private schools, and I am no exception. However, before becoming an elder, I did visit the schools of the Tantai family and the Changsun family for exchanges."

"very good."

Lu Ze no longer intended to discuss this topic with Song Tianhua, but the latter had clearly misunderstood and was invigorated.

"Mr. Lu's guidance was excellent! Just the second drawing! Tianhua will arrange for people to prepare it immediately!"

As soon as Song Tianhua finished speaking, he tore off the sketch and handed it to the steward beside him, solemnly instructing, "Select the best carpenter to build it according to this sketch. Pave the wasteland in front of the gate into a plaza, and then place this sculpture... road sign in the center! As a warning to those who come after!"

I almost mistook it for a sculpture, but luckily I reacted quickly.

"Yes!" The steward was waiting nearby, knowing that this was something Mr. Lu had decided, and it was the most important task for the Song family at present. So he responded loudly, picked up the blueprints, and ran to the side.

With the catalytic effect of the wooden imperial plate, it only took a day to harden and build a square.

This matter will take at least one day and at most two days!

Not only must it be accomplished, but it must be accomplished beautifully.

Lu Ze rubbed his forehead.

I'm speechless.

What will the martial artists from outside think when they see the solidified passage between the Mist Plains and Earth open in the future?

Killing Tantai Zhongyi wasn't tiring, but now I'm truly exhausted.

Lu Ze put his hands behind his back and quickened his pace. This matter was over; if asked in the future, he would say that Elder Song had profound artistic attainments!

……

Song Tianhua didn't think much of it. On the contrary, he was in a good mood because of his outstanding artistic design. He once again moved closer to Tantai Chongjin and turned to the large group of martial artists who had entered the base behind him, saying loudly:

"Please follow me to your seats in the auditorium, everyone. I have something to discuss with you all today!"
