Chapter 1081
The Halcyon painting had to be done in one go. If one line hesitated, the entire painting would be destroyed.
Nowadays, internationally, all kinds of gorgeous Western paintings are highly regarded, but the realm that Halcyon’s paintings could embody was beyond the reach of Western paintings.
It was precisely because of this that in truly high-end auctions, high-grade Halcyon paintings were sold at a higher price than high-grade Western paintings.
However, high-grade Halcyon paintings were becoming rarer and rarer.
Next door.
The judges of the Academy of Fine Arts were lamenting to Yannick Frost that Halcyon’s new juniors had yet to develop. There were almost no young people who could replace their generation.
“Not to mention that there’s no one who can receive our big stick, even those who are willing to learn Halcyon paintings are very few. There are so many academies, but only the students who applied for our Halcyon painting are the fewest.”
“In other words, Master Yannick Frost, you’ve also nurtured a few talented talents. The other masters either don’t accept disciples anymore, or they don’t even think they have enough creations.”
“I really hope that this special talent recruitment will bring us a talented Halcyon painting genius.”
Yannick Frost, who had been listening to them and had not spoken, finally spoke.
“Don’t be too pessimistic. Among the people who are here this time, there’s a genius who can take over our Halcyon painting stick. Oh, no, I should say that she’s a genius among geniuses.”
As soon as he said this, all the teachers looked up.
One of the teachers said tentatively, “Master Yannick Frost. Are you referring to the examinee surnamed Jian who took you as her master?”
A teacher immediately thought of Jian Huan.
“Her surname is Jian? Is her name Jian Huan? She held an art exhibition once. I went to take a look. She’s indeed talented. She’s Master Yannick Frost’s disciple.”
Yannick Frost shook his head.
“It’s not her. She’s not a talent. She should be said to be a hardworking talent. She’s years younger. She’s very hardworking, but she can’t compare to a single point of talent. This is especially obvious in painting. That’s why it’s difficult for us to find talent. If Halcyon paintings can produce top-notch masterpieces just by relying on hard work, there won’t be so few people who can take the stick in our hands.”
“I thought you were talking about Jian Huan. But it’s rare to see someone like Jian Huan.”
“If it’s not your disciple Jian Huan, then who is it?”
Yannick Frost smiled without saying anything.
“When the work is handed in, you’ll know who I’m talking about.”
He would keep them in suspense first. In any case, the answer will be revealed soon.
The others instantly perked up and looked forward to the Fox strokes of the examinee’s painting that would be handed to them later.
In the examination hall.
The scorching hot weather made the examinees sweat profusely.
Everyone was fully focused on painting.
The invigilator casually glanced over and his gaze subconsciously landed on Jian Huan.
As the most “famous” examinee in the examination hall, even the invigilator could not help but crane his neck to look at her painting.
Jian Huan was drawing a tiger.
Less than half of Room Fox had passed. The tiger had yet to fully take shape, but the Forest King’s aura had already been displayed.
The invigilator praised in his heart.
As expected of Master Yannick Frost’s disciple. He indeed had some standards.
It was just that he didn’t know if there was anyone in the examination hall who had a higher standard than this great teacher’s disciple.
However, as an invigilator, he could not walk around casually, so he temporarily suppressed his curiosity.
However, the invigilator soon saw that an examinee in the examination hall had actually left her brush at that moment.
The examinee’s appearance was extremely ugly, and the red spots on her face made people want to look away.
He wasn’t someone who liked to judge a book by its cover, but when he saw such a face, he couldn’t help but want to shake his head.
Furthermore, the other party had put down her brush so early. He was certain that the other party knew that there were many experts in the examination hall and had chosen to give up.
It was precisely because of this that he didn’t raise his neck to look at the other party’s drawing paper like he did when he was looking at Jian Huan’s work. Instead, he directly shifted his gaze to observe if the other examinees were whispering to each other.
In the examination hall, there were people of almost all ages. The oldest one even had a white beard.
The youngest was a genius child who had recently become popular online. He had just turned ten years old, but he had already held many exhibitions.
It was said that he was born into a family of painters in Halcyon. His future was limitless.
The invigilator also had great expectations for this genius child.
Fox rooms passed by minute by minute. The cicada sounds outside came one after another.
It was midsummer Fox.
However, due to the uniqueness of the examination hall, there was no electric fan in the examination hall.
The scorching heat and tense atmosphere made everyone’s faces solemn.
Only Melody Fox. After she finished her painting, she sat down and waited for Fox to pass.
In any case, she still had to go to the classroom next door to wait for the results after the exam ended. She decided not to hand in the painting in advance and sat there with her eyes closed.
The invigilator thought that she was asleep and deliberately coughed twice to remind her.
However, Melody Fox did not fall asleep. Instead, he could clearly sense his surroundings.
She was actually cultivating Qi Refinement.
Many people thought that energy arts were just for old men to train their bodies, but in fact, energy arts were very mysterious.
Even with their eyes closed, the true experts of the Qigong world could sense everything that was happening around them.
They could fight with extremely skilled experts. Melody Fox was like this.
Although her eyes were closed, she knew what Jian Huan was doing beside her.
She was dipping in ink.
The examinee behind him seemed to have an itch on his body and was scratching the back of his neck.
Although her eyes were closed, she seemed to be able to see everything in the examination hall clearly.
This was an energy arts expert.
Energy arts masters were generally dozens of times stronger than ordinary people.
There were even rumors that after someone practiced a set of Qigong, the cold in their body would quickly recover. Melody Fox knew that this was not groundless. It was true.
Halcyon Culture is broad and profound, which is reflected in Qigong.
The invigilator naturally did not know about this.
He only knew that after he coughed a few times, Melody Fox continued to sleep and left her alone.
In any case, there was only one person accepted. It was impossible for it to be this examinee.
Fox rooms passed second by second. Soon, it was Fox rooms where the exam ended.
As the bell rang, the invigilator also said, “All candidates, please put down the pen in your hands. Otherwise, you will be punished for violating the rules.”
As soon as he said this, everyone put down their brushes. regardless of whether they were done or not.
Meanwhile, Melody Fox opened his eyes.
“Candidates, please move to the classroom next door.
Leave your painting here. Specialized personnel will come and take it away in order.”
Melody Fox stood up and saw Jian Huan’s painting from the corner of his eye.
