Not only Chen Fan, but also others were in an uproar after hearing what Tikasuo announced, but they quickly became quiet.
After all, Ticasso mentioned that he would invite the top six to the legendary restaurant - Kronos for a delicious meal!
…
…
Kronos is located in the middle of the magical city of Imaki, which was built for various reasons after the War Against the Tide. It is the "harmony" where abyssal intellectual species and Yunshang humans discuss cooking skills across races, emotions, ethics and even rules. The land thus combines the skills of top chefs Abyss and Yun Shang, and the delicacies produced by them are even said to be able to directly touch the soul and stop time.
Of course, the price of Kronos is very expensive. Basically, one person needs to pay the price of an office building to eat a meal, but the real preciousness of it is——
The energy and skill contained in each rare ingredient is not only enough for ordinary people to extend their lives after eating it, but it can also help floating spirits improve their own spiritual power, and even if they are lucky, they can realize the breakthrough point of advancement.
The above is the general situation of Cronus.
…
…
Just hearing the name Cronus, the knowledgeable contestants couldn't help but salivate in their mouths, while the more astute contestants immediately thought of other aspects.
That is, if you can follow "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 given by this fifth-level god?
Thinking of this, no one would naturally have any objections to Tikasuo's arrangement, and the conference venue quickly became quiet after everyone figured it out.
Realizing that none of the contestants this time were idiots, Tikasuo nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said: "In that case, everyone should go and sit down in their seats! The canvases and brushes have also been arranged. Ten Start painting in minutes. Remember, you only have one hour!”
After saying this, Tikasuo swaggered towards the backstage and completely disappeared into the curtain.
Not long after, some of the contestants who were very close even faintly heard the snoring sounds they make when they are sleeping soundly.
Beria, who has excellent hearing, naturally heard the snoring of Tikasuo sleeping soundly. While shaking his head in confusion, he also reached out and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder: "Relax, remember what I told you before. . This competition is about the control of spiritual power. It has nothing to do with painting skills. You just need to find a way to resonate with the judges."
Fortunately, Beria next to him slapped him to the ground. Chen Fan resisted the urge to grin, smiled and nodded to Beria to express his gratitude, and then heard a whistle.
The competition has officially begun!
Hearing the whistle, Chen Fan quickly picked up the pen, but Chen Fan got stuck on the choice of paint at the beginning.
Let alone choosing colors, I don’t even know what to draw, and I don’t even have a rough outline, okay? !
The little hand moved again and again but could not fall down. Chen Fan had no choice but to turn his head and look at Beria. Just when he wanted to ask for help, he found that the paint on the other side had been mixed, and he started to paint on the canvas with a brush full of iron-gray paint.
Seeing this situation, Chen Fan decisively gave up the idea of asking Beria.
They have already said what they need to do before the game starts, not to mention that they have helped me so much before, so how can I have the nerve to disturb the opponent at this moment?
Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh, turned his head and looked at the paint tray in front of him with a sad face, thinking about what Beria said before the game started.
"This competition is about the control of spiritual power. 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 painting skills... That being said, even though I had taken a three-month crash course for Yoruichi, I still don't know what to draw at all.
While Chen Fan was thinking aimlessly, he suddenly froze for a moment.
Wait... just resonate with the judges?
Resonance...?
Suddenly inspired by the word "resonance", Chen Fan couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, reached for the paint tray and started to squeeze all the colors together. After a while of vigorous mixing, he created a plate of bottomless black color like an abyss. .
Then, Chen Fan dipped his paintbrush into the paint and began to smear it on the canvas with a wave of his hand. It didn't take long for him to complete his work - a picture of bottomless darkness.
After "painting" his work, Chen Fan sat on the small bench and looked at it carefully for a while, then showed a satisfied smile.
It's just that the male contestant next to him moved away without leaving a trace, as if he was afraid that Chen Fan would suddenly go crazy and smear the remaining black paint on his canvas, causing all his 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 smiled nervously twice. After painting his canvas black, he started to smile nervously again.
He doesn't look like a normal person, not to mention that he looks very strange!
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a breeze came from nowhere and slowly blew towards the contestant.
Although they felt refreshed, the contestants quickly realized something was wrong: the venue was not air-conditioned, where did the fresh breeze come from? !
Before he could figure it out, a soft click came from in front of him. When the contestant turned his head stiffly, the half-painted canvas in front of him suddenly had a large gaping hole in the middle, as if it had been scrapped.
…
…
Looking at the contestants who were holding their heads and collapsed not far away, they were quickly asked out by security because they were disqualified. The little fat man who blew the breeze couldn't help but reveal an evil smile.
The judges all went to bed by themselves. Doesn’t this clearly tell everyone that they can use other means to eliminate others?
Having said that, you still have to be cautious. Firstly, you cannot be called a target in everyone's eyes. Secondly, if you go too far, you may be asked to leave by the security guards at the scene.
Anyway, the painting was drawn by everyone from the beginning, and it doesn’t take much time to copy it by yourself. The only thing left is to carefully eliminate as many contestants as possible.
Just when he thought of this, the little fat man's ears suddenly heard the nagging voice of someone:
"Xuanwu goes against the current, which is the great method of changing yin and yang.
Turning the sun and moon upside down, rivers flowing backward,
With my blood, I will protect the peace of this place.
Heavenly Lord with infinite blessings and longevity, the Four Symbols: Xuanwu is against the current! "
As soon as the chattering stopped, a sparkling water wall rose from the circle drawn by Chen Fan with blood, and quickly wrapped the positions of Chen Fan and Beria within it, thus preventing possible attacks from outside. It also prevents people outside from seeing clearly what’s going on inside.
Faced with this situation, the little fat man's eyes nearly popped out.
Where is the security guard? Where is the security guard? ! This is all using the magic spells of the Four Symbols School, so you just don’t care? !
The helpless security guards present just glanced at the formation created by Chen Fan. Not only did they not care about his behavior, they even showed some appreciation in their eyes.
The little fat man was convinced, but fortunately, this kind of ultimate move consumes spiritual power. It won't be long before the weird guy who looks like a first-level spirit will automatically disband the formation due to exhaustion of spiritual power.
Just when he was about to pick other contestants to start with, the little fat man suddenly felt a majestic energy coming from under his seat, and then dazzling thunder and lightning centered on him and swept through half of the venue.
Gan! Who is harming yourself? !
At the last moment, he only had time to protect his painting. The charred little fat man felt murderous intent coming from all directions the moment the thunder and lightning ended.
Oh, it's over.
As a result, the venue immediately began to attack each other, and with the tacit consent of the security guards, it became a battlefield within a short time.
…
…
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. After taking a closer look, he also withdrew the water escape that had deflected countless attacks. Chen Fan and Beria appeared behind the barrier. There were only seven people on the field who had not yet 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 previous judges felt like they were about to die every time after participating in the judging. Tsk tsk.
After gloating and laughing at several old acquaintances in his mind, Tikasuo snapped his fingers to attract the attention of the remaining seven people, then cleared his throat and announced loudly: "Okay! The competition is over, you all hand in your works one by one for me to see. Look, let’s go in order of distance—the one with the skateboard on his back, starting with you!”
After being directly named by Tikasuo, the skateboard girl chewing bubble gum stood up from her seat and handed her painting to Tikasuo before turning around and preparing to leave.
Then, there was a soft click, which was enough to prevent her from falling over.
Looking back, the skateboard girl watched helplessly as her beautiful painting was torn in half by Tikasuo and fell to the ground. The pink bubble gum in her long mouth also fell to the ground unconsciously.
"It's flashy and boring! Stand on my left!"
Hunxun followed Tikasuo's scolding and stood still. The skateboard girl had a look of despair on her face.
Seeing that the skateboard girl died before she could escape, the remaining six people all breathed a sigh of relief. The second gloomy girl who came forward to hand over the painting even looked brighter.
Click!
There was another crisp sound, and the cold-toned painting of a gloomy girl was torn into two halves and fell to the ground.
"It's so boring! Can't you give me some motivation to live?! Stand on the left side!"
Seeing the second helpless victim appear, Chen Fanren was dumbfounded.
Didn't we agree on six people? Master, have you killed two of the seven people? !
Before Chen Fan could think it through, the gorgeously dressed young man and the iron-blooded young man sitting in front of him had their paintings torn off and ordered to stand still. Chen Fan was frightened by the sight.
Pointing his finger in the direction of Chen Fan, Tikasuo was obviously surprised when he saw the two people: "Why are they still side by side? In this case, please submit your two works together and show me."
Chen Fan: "...?"
Why is this man becoming more and more free-spirited? !
Helpless, the judges had to listen to what they said. Chen Fan and Beria looked at each other and stepped forward together, handing their paintings to the tireless and destructive Ticasso in front of them.
After taking a glance at the two people's paintings, Tikasuo first stared at Chen Fan's painting, and then tore it into pieces of paper in annoyance: "What the hell, it's too dark, it's too dark ! Go and stand still!"
Using two darknesses in succession to describe Chen Fan's works, Ticasso then waved his hand at Beria's painting: "An iron-gray... knife embryo? What do you mean?"
Facing Ticasso's inquiry, Beria did not hesitate and blurted out two words:
"hope."
After a moment of silence, Tikasuo shook his head and tore the painting into even smaller pieces than Chen Fan's: "This is not what you should bear, you are too arrogant... Stand on the left hand side!"
Looking at the row of dejected competitors, the little fat man who stayed at the end walked forward proudly without even waiting for Tikasuo to call him, and handed over his painting with his hand.
After just looking at it, Tikasuo expressionlessly crumpled the little fat man's painting into a ball and threw it in his face: "It's not my work, so it's disqualified!"
Looking at Tikasuo who stood up, the little fat man was dumbfounded: "Why?! This is a work I drew by myself. Even if you are the master, you can't announce that this is not my work for no reason, right?!"
Looking down at the little fat man standing in front of the audience, Tikasuo suddenly sneered: "Your family was asking for paintings at high prices online. Do you know who submitted the works?"
Upon hearing this, the little fat man's heart suddenly tightened.
As expected, Tikasuo pointed at himself proudly in the next second: "Bad Luck! Money is not too little. The work you bought at home was drawn by me with a trumpet. How about it, no surprise, surprise Not surprised?"
…
…
Seeing the little fat man being dragged out by the security guards unwillingly, Chen Fan raised his head and looked at Beria, and the six of them looked at Tikasuo.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Tikasuo turned around with a cough, raised his head and chest in front of the six people and said, "Well, that's it. You six are lucky enough to be able to participate in the week-long trip to Imaki with me. , enjoy this process."
After saying this, Tikasuo took out three room cards amidst everyone's excited and eager discussion, glanced around and then spoke slowly: "Tonight we will enjoy dinner at Cronus, and then we will Check in at the world's top hotel near the entrance to the Imaiji portal. Here are the room cards for three sets of rooms, please get them first."
With that said, Tikasuo handed one to the skateboard girl and the gloomy girl, then to the gorgeous boy and the capable young man, 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, Chen Fan reached out and took the room card handed over by Tikasuo. Chen Fan suddenly noticed that Beria's expression was a little strange, so he touched her arm secretly with his elbow: "What's wrong? This is a week-long Image." It’s a trip, why are you reacting so strangely?”
Looking down at Chen Fan, Beria seemed to want to say something, but in the end he shook his head: "No...it's nothing, it's just personal reasons."
However, Chen Fan always felt that Beria's glare at him seemed to contain something...unexplainable?
Just when Chen Fan was surprised, the capable young man suddenly glanced at the pair of Chen Fan and Beria, and then shook his head helplessly.
Some people really don’t know how blessed they are when they are in the midst of blessings.
