I stand under a billion lives

Chapter 45 Progress
Not only Chen Fan, but everyone else was in an uproar after hearing what Tikaso announced, but they soon quieted down.

After all, Tikaso mentioned that he would invite the top six to the legendary restaurant—Kronos is delicious!

...

...

Kronos, located in the middle layer of the magical city of Imeki established for various reasons after the War Against the Tide, is a "harmony" where the abyssal intellectual species and the human beings of the abyss conduct culinary discussions across race, emotion, ethics and even rules. Therefore, it combines the skills of the top chefs of Abyss and Yunshang, and the delicacies they make even have legends that can directly hit the soul and make time stand still.

Of course, the price of Cronus is very expensive. Basically, one person needs to pay the price of an office building after a meal, but its real preciousness lies in——

The energy and skills contained in each rare ingredient are not only enough for ordinary people to prolong their lives after eating them, but also help Piao Ling improve their spiritual power, and even if they are lucky, they can even comprehend an advanced breakthrough point.

The above is the general situation of Cronus.

...

...

Just hearing the name of Cronus, the knowledgeable contestants couldn't help but salivate in their mouths, while the more savvy contestants immediately thought of other aspects.

That is, if I can follow the "Super Lucky Tikaso" to Kronos to eat the legendary food, wouldn't it be easier to break through the level barrier with the good luck bestowed by this fifth-level god.

Thinking of this, naturally no one would have any objection to Tikaso's arrangement, and the venue quickly quieted down after everyone figured it out.

Finding that none of the contestants were idiots this time, Tikaso nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "In that case, everyone sit down at their seats! The canvases and brushes have also been arranged, 10 Start painting in minutes. Remember, it's only an hour!"

After saying this, Tikaso swaggered towards the backstage and completely disappeared in the curtain.

It didn't take long for some of the contestants who were close to them to even faintly hear the snoring sound that they would only make when they were sleeping soundly.

Beria, who has excellent hearing, also heard the sound of Tikaso's snoring, and while shaking his head, he didn't forget to reach out and pat Chen Fan's shoulder: "Relax, remember the principle I told you before. .This competition is to investigate the manipulation of spiritual power, it has nothing to do with painting skills, you just need to find a way to resonate with the judges."

Hao Xuan was not knocked to the ground by Beria's slap, Chen Fan resisted the urge to grin his teeth, smiled and nodded to Beria to express his gratitude, and then heard a whistle.

The game has officially started!

Hearing the whistle, he quickly picked up the pen, but Chen Fan got stuck in choosing the paint at the beginning.

Not to mention choosing colors, I don't even know what to draw, and I don't even have a general frame, okay? !

The little hand moved again and again but couldn't fall. Chen Fan had to turn his head to look at Beria. Just as he wanted to ask for help, he found that the opposite side had finished mixing the paint, and started to paint on the canvas with a brush covered with iron gray paint.

Seeing this situation, Chen Fan resolutely dismissed the idea of ​​asking Beria.

He had already said what he needed to do in essence before starting the match, not to mention helping him so much before, how could he bother him at this moment?

Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help sighing, turned his head and looked at the paint plate in front of him with a sad face, thinking about what Beria said before the game started.

"This competition is to examine the manipulation of spiritual power, and it has nothing to do with painting skills. You just need to find a way to resonate with the judges."

It has nothing to do with drawing skills... Even though I said that, even though I took a three-month crash course for Yeyi, I still don't know what to draw now.

As he scattered his thoughts aimlessly, Chen Fan suddenly froze for a moment.

Wait... just to resonate with the judges?

Resonate...?

Suddenly inspired by the word "resonance", Chen Fan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He reached out to take the paint tray and began to squeeze all the colors together. After a burst of vigorous mixing, he created a bottomless abyss of pitch-black color. .

Afterwards, Chen Fan dipped his paintbrush in paint, and started to smear on the canvas with a wave of his hand. It didn't take long for him to complete his work - a bottomless darkness.

After "drawing" his work, Chen Fan sat on the small bench and looked at it carefully for a while, before showing a satisfied smile.

It's just that the male contestant next to him backed away without a trace, as if he was afraid that Chen Fan would suddenly go crazy and wipe the remaining black paint on his canvas, causing all previous efforts to be wasted.

After all, in his eyes, Chen Fan had been staring at the canvas in a daze for a long time, and then suddenly laughed nervously twice, and after painting his canvas black, he began to smile nervously again.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal person, let alone looks weird!

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a gust of wind came from nowhere and slowly blew towards this contestant.

Although they felt refreshed for a while, the contestants quickly realized that something was wrong: the venue is not air-conditioned, where does the fresh air come from? !
Before he could figure it out, a light click came from in front of him, and when the contestant turned his head stiffly, the half-painted canvas in front of him suddenly had a big hole in the middle, as if it had been scrapped.

...

...

Seeing the collapsed contestants not far away, they were quickly asked out by the security guards because they lost their qualifications. The little fat man who was blowing the breeze couldn't help showing an evil smile.

The judges all went to sleep by themselves. Isn't this telling everyone that they can use other means to get others out?
Having said that, you still have to be cautious. First, you can't be the target of public criticism. Second, if you do too much, you may be invited out by the security guards at the scene.

Anyway, I asked everyone to draw the painting from the beginning, and it didn't take much time to copy it by myself. The rest is to be cautious and eliminate as many contestants as possible.

As soon as he thought of this, there was a nagging voice from a group of people in the ears of the little fat man:

"Xuanwu reverses the current, which is the great method of changing the yin and yang of the universe,
Reverse the sun and the moon, the rivers flow against the flow,

With my blood, keep one side safe,
Boundless Blessings and Longevity, Four Elephants Xuanwu against the current! "

As soon as the nagging sound fell, a shimmering water wall rose from the circle drawn by Chen Fan's blood, quickly wrapping the positions of Chen Fan and Beria in it, preventing possible attacks from outside, It also prevents outsiders from seeing what's inside.

Faced with this situation, the little fat man's eyes almost popped out.

Where's the security? Where's the security? !This is all using the big formation of the four-element school spirit mantra, so you don't care? !
Helplessly, the security guards present just glanced at the formation that Chen Fan created, not only ignored his behavior, but even showed a little appreciation in their eyes.

The little fat man is convinced, but fortunately, this big move consumes a lot of spiritual power, and it won't be long before that weird guy who looks like a first-level floating spirit will automatically disarm the big formation because his spiritual power is exhausted.

Just as he was about to pick other contestants to start with, the little fat man suddenly felt a surge of majestic energy coming from under his seat, and then the dazzling thunder and lightning scattered around half of the venue centered on him.

Gan!Who is hurting himself? !
At the last moment, he only had time to protect his own painting, and the charred little fat man felt the murderous aura from all directions the moment the thunder and lightning ended.

Oh shit, it's over.

As a result, the venue immediately started a back-and-forth attack, and with the tacit consent of the security guards, it didn't take long before it completely became a battlefield.

...

...

When Tikaso came out from the backstage again to announce the end of the game, he was directly shocked by the tragic fact that there were only a few people left in the venue. Of Chen Fan and Beria who appeared behind the barrier, there were no more than seven people who hadn't been eliminated.

Well, now I only need to kill one more to complete the judging task. It's so easy. I really don't understand why the judges of the previous sessions seemed to be dying every time they participated in the judging, tsk tsk.

Gleefully laughing at some old acquaintances in his heart, Tikaso snapped his fingers to attract the attention of the remaining seven people, and then he cleared his throat and announced loudly: "Okay! The competition is over, you all submit your works for me to see Look, let’s come in order of distance—the one with the skateboard on his back starts with you!”

After being directly named by Tikaso, the skater girl chewing bubble gum carelessly stood up from her seat, handed her painting to Tikaso, and turned around to leave.

Then, there was a light click, so that she didn't fall over.

Looking back at Mu Ran, the skater girl watched helplessly as her colorful painting was torn in half by Tikaso and fell to the ground, and the pink bubble gum in her grown-up mouth fell to the ground unconsciously.

"Smart, boring! Stand on my left!"

Humbly following Tikaso's scolding and standing still, the skater girl looked hopeless.

Seeing that the skateboarding girl died before she left school, the remaining six people all heaved a sigh of relief, and the second gloomy girl who came forward to submit the painting was even more sunny.

Click!

There was another crisp sound, and the gloomy girl's cold-toned painting was also torn in two and fell to the ground.

"It's too boring! Can't you give people some motivation to live?! Stand on the left hand side!"

Seeing the appearance of the second victim with an unlovely face, Chen Fan was stunned.

Didn't we agree on six people?Master, you have already killed two out of seven people? !
Before Chen Fan could figure it out, the gorgeously dressed boy and the iron-blooded youth sitting in front of him were also torn off the painting and ordered to stand still. Chen Fan was terrified when he saw it.

Pointing his finger slightly in Chen Fan's direction, Tikaso was obviously a little surprised when he saw these two people: "Why are there still side by side? If this is the case, please submit your works together for me to see."

Chen Fan: "...?"

Why is this person becoming more and more free-spirited? !
Helpless, the judges have to listen to what the judges say. Chen Fan and Beria looked at each other and stepped forward together, handing over their paintings to the destructive Tikaso in front of them.

Taking a glance at the paintings of the two, Tikaso first stared at Chen Fan's paintings, and then tore them into shreds of paper in displeasure: "What the hell, it's too dark, too dark Go and stand up!"

Using two consecutive darkness to describe Chen Fan's work, Tikaso then waved his hand at Beria's painting: "An iron-gray... knife embryo? What do you mean?"

Facing Tikaso's inquiry, Beria blurted out two words without any hesitation:
"hope."

After a moment of silence, Tikaso shook his head and tore the painting into finer pieces than Chen Fan's: "This is not something you should bear, it's too arrogant...Stand on the left hand side!"

Looking at a row of dejected competitors, the little fat man who stayed at the end didn't even wait for Tikaso to call him, he walked forward arrogantly, reached out and handed over his painting.

Just looking at it, Tikaso kneaded the little fat man's painting into a ball expressionlessly, and threw it in his face: "It's not my work, disqualification!"

Looking at Tikaso who stood up, the little fat man was dumbfounded: "Why?! This is a work I drew with my own hands. Even you, the master, can't declare that this is not my work for no reason?!"

Looking down at the little fat man standing under the stage in front of him, Tikaso suddenly sneered: "Your family asked for a painting at a high price online, do you know who submitted the work?"

Hearing this, the little fat man's heart tightened.

Sure enough, Tikaso pointed at himself proudly in the next second: "Bad Luck! Money is not too little, and the works bought at your house were drawn by me with a trumpet. How about it, no surprise, surprise Not surprised?"

...

...

Watching the little fat man dragged out by the security guards, Chen Fan raised his head and exchanged glances with Beria, and the six of them looked at Tikaso.

Sensing the gazes of the crowd, Tikaso coughed lightly and turned around, facing the six of them with his head held high and his chest held high, he said, "Well, that's it. The six of you are fortunate to be able to join me on a one-week trip to Imaki , enjoy the process."

After saying this, Tikaso took out three room cards amidst everyone's excited and eager discussions, and after scanning them around, he said calmly: "Tonight we will have dinner at Cronus, and then we will Check in at the world's top hotel near the entrance of Imaki's teleportation gate, here are the room cards for three suites, please take them first."

As he said that, Tikaso handed one to the skater girl and gloomy girl, then the luxurious boy and the capable youth, and finally it was Chen Fan and Beria's turn: "Here, take it. Remember to act together in the future, otherwise I'm not interested in giving you another one."

Naturally reaching out to take the room card from Tikaso, Chen Fan suddenly noticed that Beria's expression was a little strange, so he secretly touched her arm with his elbow: "What's the matter? This is the week-long Imaiji Travel, why do you react so strangely?"

Looking down at Chen Fan, Beria seemed to want to say something, but finally shook his head: "No...it's nothing, it's just personal reasons."

However, Chen Fan always felt that Beria's glaring at him seemed to contain something...unexplainable?

Just when Chen Fan was surprised, the capable young man suddenly glanced at the combination of Chen Fan and Beria, and then shook his head helplessly.

Some people really don't know the blessings in the blessings.
