"Aren't these soldiers and generals the same? They look like they are killing the enemy bravely. If they are not heroes, what are they?" Fan Wei argued with reason.
"I'm sorry, Master Fan, are they really not?" Xiang Xiaoyuan shook her head gently, "Although I am still young, I also understand that war is unjust."
"What is 'war without justice'?" Fan Wei was confused after hearing this.
"As the saying goes: One general can make thousands of bones dry up. It is true that these sergeants did show their bravery on the battlefield, but the war itself will only bring disaster. Remember the war in Huaxu Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, which also shocked the entire country at that time. The country is in ruins, and the people are suffering even more. So Master Fan Wei wants to use war scenes to show heroes, but I have reservations."
"Really, I thought Xiang Jia could distinguish right from wrong, but now I think that 'half of the world' in the art world is really an exaggeration!" Fan Wei also said angrily.
"Fan Wei, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Xiangling also said angrily, "You just don't understand if you don't understand! Don't look like you are bitter and resentful!"
"Chu Xiangling, what did you say?"
"Fan Wei, I just made it very clear to Miss Xiang." At this time, Ding Dai also interjected, "Your relief technique is indeed very proficient, but it does not fit with the theme of 'hero'. The so-called hero is not An officer who launches a war for his own selfish desires is not a murderous maniac with bloody hands on the battlefield. If your relief shows the Patriotic War of Huaxu Kingdom, then that is a different matter!"
"Actually, Master Fan, if you slightly change this relief, it should be more relevant." Xiang Xiaoyuan said at this time.
"Change it a little? Can my relief still be changed?"
"If you agree, can I change it a little bit?"
"this......"
Fan Wei has full confidence in his work. At the same time, he felt that it was impossible for the little girl of about ten years old in front of him to reach his level.
"Even if you are a descendant of the Xiang family, it's impossible for you to make a better work!"
So Fan Wei said: "I would like to ask the eldest lady if you can improve my work. Then I, Fan Wei, will be convinced."
"Then I'll show my shame!" Xiang Xiaoyuan turned back to Mu Linfeng and said, "Teacher Mu, could you please borrow your carving knife?"
"No problem, Miss, let's use it!" Mu Linfeng, who was standing next to him, had a thought in his mind and actually used the "power of elephantization" to create a carving knife out of thin air.
This knife exudes a crystal-like luster. If you don't see it with your own eyes, everyone would think it is a real carving knife.
Seeing this, the audience and judges secretly criticized Mu Linfeng.
Xiang Xiaoyuan casually held the carving knife and immediately closed her eyes. At the same time, a "power of imagery" also rose from her body.
Although this power is far less than that of Mu Linfeng, even a master like Ding Dai can't help but show surprise.
"The Xiang family is indeed very knowledgeable. This 'power of image transformation' is very pure!" Ding Dai also nodded knowingly.
Xiang Xiaoyuan used the "power of elephantization" to create an invisible big hand out of thin air.
He grabbed the carving knife with his big hand and began to recreate the art on the marble relief.
Under the control of his big hand, the carving knife quickly found an inconspicuous blank space in the corner of the relief.
"Here?" Fan Wei was also surprised, because he found that there seemed to be something missing in this blank corner, "How could I neglect this place?"
In fact, Fan Wei is not to blame for this mistake.
You should know that craftsmen who usually make reliefs usually carve their own seals in this corner. When Fan Wei was carving the relief just now, he unconsciously left this place out.
Fan Wei was so intoxicated with his creation that he forgot about the signature.
At this moment, the carving knife was seen rotating rapidly in the blank space, and soon the fragments of marble blocked everyone's view.
After a moment, Xiang Xiaoyuan put away the "Xianghua Power", and at the same time, Mu Linfeng's "Xianghua Carving Knife" also disappeared.
"What is this?" Fan Wei quickly looked at his relief. When he saw the blank space, his whole body felt like he was being struck by electricity.
"As expected of the eldest lady of the Xiang family. This change has completely raised the concept of this relief to a higher level!" Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but praise.
In the blank space, Xiang Xiaoyuan carved another soldier with a carving knife.
The soldier's childlike face clearly told the audience that he was just a recruit who had rushed into battle.
The complex expressions of excitement and panic on the battlefield are vividly expressed.
Behind him was an injured old man.
When the enemy's sword was about to hit the old man, the unarmed child soldier blocked the opponent's sword with his own body.
"You can sacrifice yourself for others on the battlefield, regardless of life and death. Even though you are just a child, you still shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people with your young shoulders. Only such soldiers can be called heroes!" Qiu Mei said emotionally.
"Yes! In the cruel war, there are still such heroic heroes. It's really touching!" Ma Zhenbei couldn't help but applaud.
At the same moment, thunderous applause erupted from the scene.
"How is it, Fan Wei? Do you have any other opinions to express now?" Chu Xiangling teased.
Chu Xiangling originally wanted to ridicule and humiliate Fan Wei, but at this time, the doubts on Fan Wei's face had disappeared, and his whole person suddenly became enlightened.
"I understand, I understand! I finally understand!" Fan Wei shouted.
"Is this Master Fan crazy?" Seeing Fan Wei's appearance, the audience present couldn't help but started talking.
However, Xiang Xiaoyuan stood in front of Fan Wei and looked very calm.
"I am too intoxicated with my own skills, but ignore the vast world outside. I have always cared about the improvement of skills and visualization ability, but I have forgotten my original intention as an artist." Fan Wei sighed.
"Master Fan Wei, it seems that you have really found yourself." Xiang Xiaoyuan also nodded happily.
"Miss Xiang, I want to thank you for your advice. If it weren't for you, I would have continued on this wrong path." Fan Wei's eyes were full of sincerity, "Okay, I'm leaving! "
"You want to leave?" Qiu Mei was a little surprised, "Master Fan Wei, the competition is not over yet. What do you mean you want to leave?"
"I am preparing to withdraw from this competition." Fan Wei scratched his head and said, "With such a score, how can I dare to compete with those players? But it doesn't matter, I will start all over again. Next time I participate in this art competition, I will definitely I will challenge for the championship again.”
After saying that, Fan Wei also walked out of the venue with his head held high.
Looking at Fan Wei's back, Xiang Xiaoyuan also nodded: "This boy is extraordinary, he will become a great person in the future."
Unexpectedly, Xiang Xiaoyuan's words came true. A few years later, Fan Wei returned to Muyang Town to participate in the art competition again and won the championship. But these are all things for later.
Returning to the competition, with Fan Wei's regretful exit, the contestants finally regained their composure.
Even a contestant of Fan Wei's level failed, how could other people dare to submit their works in advance?
So as the end of the game approaches, many players have chosen to abstain.
Some people find that their works are not as good as Fan Wei, so they give up early. Some people didn't even think about it. When they went out, they shouted: "Why is this competition so difficult?"
Some contestants took out their works in front of them and sent them to the judges' table in person.
It's a pity that the ratings they received were all unsatisfactory. Except for a few people who surpassed Fan Wei, the others were not competitive at all.
Seeing these players with low scores and leaving, Ma Zhenbei asked worriedly: "Let me tell you, is the theme this time a little too difficult?"
"Chairman Ma, don't worry. We are just taking the lead in selecting talented players." Liu Xiaoguang looked very calm, "Didn't you see that there are still a few champion candidates who have not submitted their works?"
"How many more are there? What you are talking about is..."
Ma Zhenbei turned his attention to those studios that were still busy.
At this time, the power of elephantization in Studio 001 has disappeared, and Zixuan inside seems to have completed her work.
A moment later, Zixuan, dressed in purple, slowly walked out holding a tray covered with red cloth.
"It seems that Master Zixuan No. 001 has completed her work. Let's see if this work can win the favor of the judges?" Qiu Mei also said loudly on the stage.
After a while, Zixuan had already placed her work on the display stand in front of the judges.
Zixuan looked at Chu Xiangling who was smiling at her, his face full of confidence.
"It seems that Xuan'er's work this time will definitely score high marks. Our couple won the championship in this art competition. This is also a good story!" Chu Xiangling had already begun to imagine the scene of awarding the championship trophy to Zixuan.
"Master Zixuan, please show me your work next," Qiu Mei said.
Zixuan nodded. She was originally a virgin who cherished her words like gold, so she didn't talk to her. She just showed her work as Qiu Mei said.
However, she did not directly uncover the red cloth, but activated the power of image formation. In an instant, the invisible power also caused the red cloth to rise into the air.
The work under the red cloth suddenly released a dazzling light.
Since it was now night time, the light was particularly dazzling.
Under the stage, the audience could not open their eyes.
After the light dissipated, everyone could clearly see the works on the display stand.
It turned out to be a statue of a beautiful woman carved from white jade.
The face of this beauty is vividly depicted, and her peerless appearance and graceful figure complement each other perfectly. However, this jade beauty does not have the usual dancing posture of beauties, but is holding something in her hands.
And around her, there were countless clouds carved from jade suspended.
"Who is this portraying?" Ma Zhenbei couldn't help but ask.
But it wasn't over yet. The red cloth that had just covered the jade beauty slowly fell down.
Zixuan's eyes flashed, and another magical power of transformation was released, tearing the red cloth into countless red filaments in the air, which fell on the jade beauty's body like raindrops.
Such seemingly random embellishments as blood and flowers add a different kind of charm to this jade beauty.
The audience in the audience held their breath, and were shocked by this beautiful statue for a while.
"He is worthy of being hailed as the most talented descendant of the Tian He Zi family. Needless to say, this jade carving is absolutely ingenious and an extremely outstanding work." Ding Dai, the judge's vane, also nodded frequently.
When Chu Xiangling saw this, he was filled with admiration for his fiancée.
"As expected of Master Zixuan, this jade beauty has indeed lived up to expectations. Next, let's ask the judges to evaluate it! Then let's leave the time to a few judges." Qiu Mei also said quickly.
