"The calligraphy is very quick and natural, with an ethereal quality. Although the handwriting looks thin, it contains a strong power."
"This calligraphy is indeed as graceful as a flying dragon and as elegant as a startled swan. I think he is very apt to call it the Slender Gold Style."
"This calligraphy piece looks like a vast expanse of strong and powerful bamboo, and it also seems to contain a series of sword techniques."
"I think this thin gold style is written very well!"
After the princess's praise, many people watched it again, because they were not looking at it with disdain!
But after the princess praised it, she felt that the calligraphy was truly stunning.
This calligraphy is so beautiful!
Many people were amazed after seeing the content of this calligraphy, and even the people in the audience were eager to try it.
Helan Jun was even more embarrassed at this time. He did not think that the princess was deliberately biased, but it was because the calligraphy was indeed very beautiful.
It's simply unbelievable.
Thinking of this, Helan Jun could only shake his head helplessly, "Princess, what you said is absolutely right. This Slender Gold style calligraphy does look ethereal and lively.
I just took a quick look and didn't discover the secret."
"Your Highness, after a careful analysis, I finally realized that this calligraphy is excellent."
"If this calligraphy is his own creation, it would be really unexpected."
“It’s simply unimaginable.”
Bai Xiaoxiao now fixed her gaze on Lu Yun and asked, "Did you really create this Slender Gold Body Style on your own? Did you have anyone help you?"
Lu Yun nodded, "Yes, it was indeed my own creation, without any help from anyone."
As soon as the words fell, Bai Xiaoxiao was shocked. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and muttered to herself, "It's really stunning."
"Lu Yu, I'm really curious about what secrets you're hiding."
"Okay, announce it."
The chief judge had no choice but to shout, "In the calligraphy section, Master Lu is undoubtedly the best."
"As for the second place, it is Master Helan..."
As the saying goes, it is impossible for Lu Yun to be proficient in all of the four arts, namely music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the next part, he will focus on the music.
Lu Yun looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside.
After the draw results were announced, the chief judge was about to call for action when Lu Yun preemptively declared, "Well... I don't particularly understand rhythm, so I immediately admit defeat."
"I've looked around and I don't think most people here are proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I don't need to be omnipotent either."
Lu Yun admitted defeat directly, which surprised the others on the arena.
They thought that Lu Yun was proficient in everything, and was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It seems that he also has his own shortcomings.
Mu Cang was very happy to hear this and laughed: "You are not capable of everything, I thought you were so great.
Although I am not proficient in everything, I know everything. Music is too easy for me. "
All they saw was Mu Cang taking out a jade flute from his waist and starting to play it in front of everyone.
I thought that since he was so confident, the sound of the jade flute he played should be quite nice, but I never expected it to be so bad, just like noise.
Lu Yun quickly covered his ears, and only then did he realize that this so-called martial arts competition to win a bride also had a backdoor method.
It's just like now, Mu Cang obviously doesn't know music, but he can play it.
I think it should be given a good score, and it should be no problem to enter the top 20.
Thinking of this, Lu Yun suddenly felt that he was a little naive. If he had known this would happen, he might as well have directly asked the princess for help. After all, everyone else had to listen to the princess's words.
As for painting, Lu Yun himself was very nervous, as he really had no talent for it.
He was hesitant about what to paint, flowers, birds, fish, and insects. Later, after careful consideration, he realized that he had copied an ink painting called "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" before.
Although I am not particularly familiar with this ink painting, and it is very different from the original, it is good enough to be among the best.
When it came to this stage, Lu Yun confidently picked up the brush and painted a landscape painting in ink on the rice paper in front of everyone.
The effect of this painting was just average for Lu Yun.
But unexpectedly, many people present were shocked when it was displayed.
Whether it was Mu Cang or Helan Jun, or even the princess and others.
They actually praised the painting, saying, "Great! It's such a great painting."
“I didn’t expect this painting to be so artistic.”
"Mr. Lu is indeed a man of fine arts. The painting you created is truly remarkable in its artistic conception. None of us present here can compare to your realm."
"Yeah! This is an amazing picture. How did you come up with it?"
"Such a magnificent landscape can be depicted with simple ink. It seems that Gugongzi's attainments in painting are even greater than his calligraphy."
“…”
Lu Yun was speechless as he listened to their praises one by one. At the same time, he thought to himself, this is just an ordinary painting, how come it became a masterpiece in their eyes?
It seems that this is purely a dimensionality reduction attack.
A landscape painting that is not beautiful at all in my own eyes can become the object of their pursuit.
That’s right. After all, they live in a barbarian country, and their pursuit of art is still in a relatively low environment.
If it were in the Han Empire, the counties and prefectures would be completely different.
Thinking of this, Lu Yun suddenly realized and frankly accepted the compliments from these people, but he still spoke modestly.
"Oh, this is just an ordinary painting. Don't praise me so much. I can't stand it."
On the one hand, Lu Yun did gain recognition from many people. At the same time, after the four events of music, chess, calligraphy and painting were completed, Lu Yun did not make it into the top 20, but there were many people with the same score as him.
Just as he was about to play a tiebreaker, Bai Xiaoxiao stood up and said to everyone present, "Mr. Lu is so powerful, he shouldn't need a tiebreaker. Let him enter the top 20 directly. Does anyone have any objections?"
Since the princess had spoken, no one present dared to disobey, especially since they already admired her.
Lu Yun has completely impressed them. He was able to win first place in each of the three events he competed in. Isn't this a recognition of his strength?
The Chief Judge also nodded, "That's right, Princess."
"Mr. Lu, let's go straight to the fighting phase."
