Chapter 490 The altar!

 From the moment Lin Zhibai’s painting was completed, other people’s works lost the meaning of the competition—

 Including Ling Tian!

Even though Ling Tian didn’t say anything when he saw Lin Zhibai’s painting, his expression at the moment said it all, otherwise he wouldn’t have been made into an emoticon by netizens who liked to prank him so quickly.

Where did this Lin Zhibai come from?

Ling Tian’s current mood is exactly the same as that of Liu Ji, who participated in the Go event before and was considered a sure winner before the game.

Because Lin Zhibai is not only unknown in the Go circle.

 Before the start of today’s competition, Lin Zhibai was also a “nobody” in the painting circle!

Although Lin Zhibai has also demonstrated master-level painting techniques.

 However, it has only been a short time and has not caused much waves in the painting circle.

Secondly, if Lin Zhibai was just a master, he would not be taken seriously by Ling Tian.

However.

It was this "unknown" person in the painting circle who brutally tortured himself in front of most of the Blue Star audience in Qi Chuwendou's painting competition!

 It stands to reason that it’s too embarrassing, right?

He was unexpectedly defeated by such a new face in the painting circle.

  And the other party is such a young junior.

Ling Tian didn’t feel like he was losing face!

It's not that Ling Tian has the demeanor of a master and has taken a dim view of the so-called winning or losing.

 It’s because Ling Tian believes:

No one in the Blue Star painting circle would think it was embarrassing for Ling Tian to lose to a painting like Lin Zhibai’s!

 They will give themselves a fair evaluation!

You should lose—if you can win this game, everyone will be blind!

Co-author Chu Zhou invited him to participate in this competition, not to help him win the championship, but to let himself be a green leaf and set off Lin Zhibai's achievement as the number one person in the painting circle?

Thinking of this, Ling Tian smiled bitterly.

 Actually, he only wanted to make some extra money by accepting this foreign aid cooperation from Chuzhou. After all, Chuzhou gave too much.

As long as I participated in this game, I would definitely be able to help Chuzhou win easily. However, I didn’t expect that in the end, he would be easily won by someone else’s foreign aid.

 While in Ling Tian's thoughts.

 Other participating painting masters also completed their own works and walked towards Lin Zhibai curiously...

Then there was nothing more. Before the host announced the results of the competition, all the participating painting masters already knew the results.

 “This painting!”

 “It’s natural!”

 “What a wonderful painting!”

 “This is what the so-called wonderful pen produces flowers!”

 “This painting by Teacher Lin makes me ashamed!”

“It’s not just that you feel ashamed of yourself. You didn’t even look at Lao Ling and you didn’t have anything to say..."

“This mountain, this water, and this scenery are all so dramatic that it makes people feel like they are actually there!”

 “Teacher Lin, I admire you!”

 “Lin Zhibai.”

During the discussion, Ling Tian looked at Lin Zhibai, raised his hands seriously and said: "The one who will be the leader in the Blue Star painting world in the future is none other than you!"

 Who will be the leader in the Blue Star painting circle in the future?

The discussions of the painting masters were all recorded in the live broadcast, so audiences from all continents could hear it clearly. The one that shocked everyone the most was Ling Tian's words, "The one who will be the leader in the Blue Star painting world in the future is none other than you!"

this means…

In Ling Tian’s opinion, Lin Zhibai is already the number one artist in Blue Star’s contemporary painting world! ?

If some other painting master thought so, it would be nothing, but it was Ling Tian who said this, so everyone has to weigh the weight of it!

  and corroborated.

ˆ is the result of this competition.

When the judges gave the scores, Lin Zhibai once again scored a gorgeous perfect score!

Ling Tian, ​​who won the silver medal, scored 95 points. It was probably a decent defeat?

 The bronze medal belongs to a certain master in Qizhou.

However, in this battle, the bronze medal is destined to fail to leave a mark in the hearts of the audience!

The whole world looked at Lin Zhibai who lifted the gold medal trophy again, and the thought that flashed through his mind was:

 The fourth time!

 As the saying goes, there are only three things you can do!

Lin Zhibai won the first three projects of chess, calligraphy and painting one after another, which has shocked most of the blue stars!

Today, even in painting, he shows the domineering power of "the first person", and the emotional impact it brings is no longer as simple as shock!

 Boom!

 Each continent is exploding!

 …

 Chinzhou.

Netizens are going crazy!

“Others are proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, but Bai Di is the best in the world in chess, calligraphy and painting!?”

“Before, many people called Bai Di Shen, and I thought it was an exaggeration. After watching Qi Chuwendou for four days, I don’t think it is an exaggeration at all now!”

 “Outrageous!”

 “How can there be such an almighty person in the world!”

“How should I introduce him in the future? There are so many professions, it’s dazzling!”

 “Full-time artist?”

“I look more like a part-time artist, these are all his part-time jobs!”

  Crash.

 Even more excited are Lin Zhibai’s fans!

Seeing Lin Zhibai create such a miracle, fans of Bai Di and Chu Ci felt the same way:

 We are not fans of the wrong person!

 Many people even feel like “I was so discerning back then”!

The young man who entered the music scene with his song "Easing Sorrow" has grown up to where he is today without even realizing it!

 Calculate carefully.

 It’s only been a few years!

It seems like it only took about three years?

 …

 Qizhou.

 Someone is crying!

 For many Qi people, this is more than just a victory in a game.

This is a proud and humiliating battle. The Qi people will never forget that last year they were beaten by Chuzhou six to one!

 This year, Lin Zhibai took action.

 Qizhou defeated Chuzhou 4-0 in four events in four days. This is a possibility that no one in Qizhou dares to imagine. It is even an exaggeration to dream!

"Cool!!"

“I can only say that even Shuangwen’s plot would not dare to be written like this!”

“Xiao Chuzhou is still really dancing? Last year, we relied on foreign aid to beat us for a whole year! It’s like no one has any foreign aid!”

 “Lin Shen! Tongtiandai!”

“If we win, even if we lose all the next three games, we will still win this Qi Chuwen fight four to three!”

“Hahahahahaha, the question is, will Lin Shen let them win the next few projects? Don’t forget how good he is in poetry and couplets!”

 Good guy.

 Just call "Lin Shen".

 The title even includes “him”!

This shows how far Lin Zhibai’s prestige in Qizhou has reached now!

Some people even suspect that Lin Zhibai’s appeal in Qizhou is no less powerful than his influence in Qinzhou!

 …

 Chuzhou, some people also cried.

 But when Chuzhou people cry, it is not because they are moved, but purely because they are sad, and some are angry.

 Heartache!

　　So heartbroken!

They thought that Chuzhou could continue to brutally beat Qizhou this year, but they didn’t expect that the game had lasted for so many days and they hadn’t won a single game!

Lin Zhibai!

 It’s all because of Lin Zhibai!

This monster from Qinzhou was hired as a foreign aid by Qizhou and directly launched a nuclear strike on Chuzhou!

“God, can anyone stop this terrible guy!” “What kind of monster can play music, chess, calligraphy, and painting at the same time to become a god?”

“If we lose, even if we win all the next three games, our literary fight will be completely defeated. Is there any point in the next struggle?”

 “Of course it makes sense!”

“Even if I lose, I still have to defeat Lin Zhibai once!”

“I don’t believe it. Could it be that he still wants to win seven gold medals!?”

 “That’s right! I have to beat Lin Zhibai once!”

“Couplets and poetry, is he proficient in all three?”

“I heard that Lin Zhibai’s couplet is known as the king of kings and the couplets cross the intestines.”

 To the king of kings?

 Looks like he’s a master.

However, this was already expected by the people of Chuzhou. After all, which event in which Lin Zhibai participated was not a master?

 But no matter how powerful Lin Zhibai is.

 The current Chuzhou people have one obsession:

Qi Chuwendou can lose, but Lin Zhibai must lose once!

This is just like the obsession that "the team battle can be lost, Teemo (Yasuo) must die", the goal is to understand it with one idea!

 …

 Zhaozhou.

 Seeing Lin Zhibai win the painting championship trophy with their own eyes, many people were in a daze.

As a native of Zhaozhou, I actually feel a sense of superiority when watching Qi Chuwen fight, because if Chuzhou wants to win the game, it must rely on Zhaozhou’s foreign aid!

 Liu Ji!

 Lingtian!

 Ye Cai'er!

 Which of these Zhaozhou masters is not the top of the pyramid in their respective fields?

Unexpectedly, all these people were defeated in front of Lin Zhibai. Even Zhuge Qiuliang, the recognized master of calligraphy in Central Continent, was defeated without any suspense!

These are the pinnacle figures in the world’s art field!

They are not invincible, but who can believe that they were defeated by the same person?

"Suddenly I can't breathe. They say that our Zhaozhou has the highest achievements in all major art fields, and can even compete with Zhongzhou. But the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that we are so proud of, Lin Zhibai, a Qinzhou native, seems to be able to do it alone. Can you crush our pride?"

 “No need to act like it, he can really do it.”

"The scary thing is that I feel that the only Zhongzhou that Zhaozhou is afraid of, Lin Zhibai can also suppress it!"

“I don’t dare to mention other things, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It’s hard to find anyone in Blue Star who is his opponent. If you want to defeat Lin Zhibai, you have to start from other aspects, such as poetry and couplets.”

“It seems like tomorrow will be a couplet?”

 “I don’t know what Lin Zhibai’s couplets are like.”

 “I heard that Lin Zhibai’s couplets are quite powerful!”

“Suddenly I felt a little sorry for Chu Zhou, why did he provoke an opponent like Lin Zhibai?”

“It’s better to feel sorry for our Zhaozhou foreign aid. He was originally going to abuse the vegetables, but he was fried by the gods.”

 …

 Middle-earth.

 Speaking of which, at the beginning, the people of Central China did not pay much attention to the civil war between Qi and Chu.

It was purely because of Zhuge Qiuliang's relationship and Lin Zhibai's appearance at a charity dinner with "Lanting Preface" that this Qizhou literary fight attracted some attention in Zhongzhou.

  But it’s just some.

 On the first day of the competition, Lin Zhibai won the championship with his song "Mountains and Flowing Waters"!

That song in Zhongzhou became popular all over the Internet at an extremely fast speed. This led to a significant increase in the ratings of Qi Chuwen Dou's game on the second day!

 But it’s just an increase.

  After all, the competition on the second day was Go, and many people could not understand it.

 It wasn’t until the third day that Qi Chuwendou’s ratings in Zhongzhou exploded, with almost half of the audience watching that day!

Why?

Because Lin Zhibai and Zhuge Qiuliang are facing a fateful showdown!

 Well, this "fatal showdown" is what the people of Central China think of. Judging from the actual results, the two are far from being enemies.

To be precise, Zhuge Qiuliang is unworthy.

Lin Zhibai completely crushed Zhuge Qiuliang, the pride of the Zhongzhou calligraphy circle!

 This battle made Lin Zhibai completely famous in Central Continent, and the direct result was:

●Today’s Qi Chu Wen Dou broadcast, the ratings in Zhongzhou reached a record high, even more exaggerated than yesterday!

 Just because the Central Continent media has been exaggerating the miracles created by Lin Zhibai in recent days—

"On the first day of the civil war between Qi and Chu, Lin Zhibai sang a song to confer the title of god! 》

 "On the second day of the Qi-Chu Wen fight, Lin Zhibai made a powerful move! 》

 On the third day of the Qi-Chu Wen fight, Lin Zhibai went completely crazy! 》

 "Zhuge Qiuliang vs. Lin Zhibai, the ending shocked the world!" 》

 《Lin Zhibai·God! 》

 "Playing chess, calligraphy and painting, invincible in the world - Lin Zhibai"

 For traffic.

 The titles of Zhongzhou media are becoming more and more exaggerated!

 But these exaggerated titles are actually facts after all, so the people of Central China are increasingly buying into them.

In the end, the ratings of today’s Qi Chu Wen Dou exploded, reaching the point where almost everyone in Central Continent watched it!

Even Lin Zhibai didn’t know.

 Now he has become somewhat of a “big celebrity” in Central Continent!

 …

Jiang Cheng would usually report to him any situation that Lin Zhibai didn't know about.

 For example today.

 As the painting competition ended, Lin Zhibai returned to the hotel holding the fourth trophy.

 He felt like he was Sun Wukong now, collecting seven dragon balls.

However, collecting seven trophies obviously won't help you realize any wish.

Just when Lin Zhibai thought so.

Jiang Cheng called and immediately expressed congratulations.

 “The boss is so awesome today!”

"Um."

Jiang Cheng has been congratulating himself once a day recently, and he probably will have to congratulate him two or three more times in the future.

“Tell the boss good news. Your popularity in Central Continent is no less than that of many first- and second-tier celebrities in Central Continent.”

 “Middle-earth?”

Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "I didn't expect that participating in the Qi Chu Wen Dou would have such benefits."

Jiang Chengdao: "Not only in Zhongzhou, boss, your popularity in Zhaozhou is even more exaggerated. I suspect it is close to the first-tier!"

Lin Zhibai was surprised, "Is it so exaggerated?"

Jiang Chengdao: "Because Zhao Zhou pays most attention to chess, calligraphy and painting, but your chess, calligraphy and painting have made all the three masters of Zhao Zhou hate Chuzhou."

“Then my next stop is Zhaozhou. Wouldn’t it be easy to reach the stars?”

 “That’s right.”

Of course Jiang Cheng knew what Lin Zhibai meant by reaching for the stars.

 After all, the ranking of intercontinental superstars.

 The competition is about who has more stars.

Lin Zhibai thought for a while and said, "Let's take Chuzhou first. Zhaozhou is not in a hurry."

At this moment, Lin Zhibai was very happy that he had participated in the Qi Chuwen fight.

The exposure of this competition is really great, attracting viewers from several continents every day!

So much so that I have already gained a good popularity base in these two continents without even setting foot in Zhaozhou and Zhongzhou!

“I suspect that you can go directly to Zhaozhou.”

Jiang Cheng analyzed it this way, and then said: "But of course it's okay if you want to attack Chuzhou first. There's another thing."

"What?"

“Recently, there was a blogger in Yanzhou who specially carried Qi Chuwendou’s videos, and now many people in Yanzhou are familiar with you.”

  “Blogger moving videos?”

Lin Zhibai couldn't help but laugh. The rewards from participating in the Qi Chu Wen Dou were much greater than he imagined!
