Ding He. I've climbed to fifteenth place in the urban ticket rankings "With just a few more votes, I could have reached tenth!" The moon forum thanks everyone for their support and also extends gratitude to “Upper Blue Sky Want Moon” in the review section of the novel. Little Dragon eagerly awaits updates. Hao Ren was suddenly hit by this change and was greatly startled.

Su Han, are you trying to kill me" I can't even draw the chick pecking rice in the sketch properly," Hao Ren thought as he saw everyone's eyes glaring at him. Hao Ren inwardly realized that things were not good.

And Su Han stood there, seemingly waiting for Hao Ren to come over.

"Go up!" Huang Xujie led the cheer.

The other boys followed suit and started cheering as well.

"Uncle, just go up and draw the chick pecking rice for them to see!" Zhao Yanzi said behind Hao Ren. Her idea was exactly what Hao Ren had in mind!

Alright! If it's a chick pecking rice, then so be it! I've become famous now!

Hao Ren walked up with determination.

Su Han stood by the drawing table and gave half a step to hand over the brush to Hao Ren.

The two ancient costume beauties came onto stage, then spread out another sheet of paper that was two feet long.

Seeing hundreds of people's gazes fixed on him, Hao Ren felt somewhat intimidated. He lightly asked Su Han beside him, "What are you doing"

The lights were suddenly turned off completely, just like before, leaving only one spotlight shining on Hao Ren and Su Han in front of the desk.

"Metal Wood Water Fire Earth, when I call out an element, use that element. One to ten, when I call a number, use that amount of power." Su Han softly said.

After saying this, she walked over to grind ink for Hao Ren.

Wow!" The boys angrily shouted in discontent. Su Han grinding ink for Hao Ren personally was such an enviable treatment!

"Focus your mind and calm your heart. Recall the painting you just saw, his hand gestures, every move, do you still remember" Su Han asked.

They stood in front of the painting table, half a meter away from the closest spectators, whispering to each other so softly that no one else could hear them. "Yes, I remember it all." Hao Ren nodded. He had always had an exceptionally strong memory; after breaking through to the third level of Concentrated Spirit Technique, he even had the ability to memorize things perfectly upon seeing or hearing them once.

"Gold, guide," Su Han said.

Hao Ren activated Sword Shadows and Light Division Technique, releasing a pure yet faint golden elemental sword aura from his fingertips through the tip of the brush!

Swish! The ink splashed onto the paper. As Hao Ren moved his wrist, it formed a serpentine mountain range like a dragon!

What great brush technique! Su Han silently praised.

The onlooking students couldn’t see anything special and thought Hao Ren was just mimicking something they had seen before. They murmured softly in response.

However, the veteran artists’ bodies trembled as their eyes followed Hao Ren’s brushstrokes: How sharp is that brush tip!

"Second stroke, water,"

Hao Ren painted the second stroke based on his memory. The brush was a few centimeters away from the paper, and he released the ink.

The power of water entwined continuously, splashing dots of black ink!

Smooth! Those veteran artists in the art world, especially those few masters of traditional Chinese painting, were all rigid with amazement.

"Everything in this world is formed by the five elements. Third stroke, wood, guide," Su Han said.

The brush on Hao Ren’s hand wildly dotted across the paper.

A vast river appeared vaguely! Drifting and distant, full of vitality!

"Fire, guide"

, like night stars!

"Earth. Guide"

"Water, guide!"

"Metal, mouth! From top to bottom. Penetrating the paper!"

Metal, intent on attacking! Wood, everlasting life! Water, flexibility and rigidity together! Fire, stars ignite everywhere! Earth, bearing virtue.

Hao Ren's Five Elements True Qi kept switching, Su Han gently ground ink, her voice firm as a mountain.

Within the circle of light, everyone saw Hao Ren working effortlessly while Su Han was elegant and graceful.

A perfect couple! Everyone felt this illusion in their hearts.

"Su Han, I can't take it anymore!" The more Hao Ren painted, the more he felt his strength being drained. He said.

Switching the Five Elements True Qi was already an extremely exhausting task; adding to that, these energies needed to be channeled into the brush and released outwardly made it even harder for Hao Ren.

Not to mention, he currently only had Nv's mana points, and continuously emitting sword qi using Sword Light Image Technique had been going on for over ten minutes!

Sweat poured down from Hao Ren's cheeks to his chest. His arm holding the brush was slightly trembling.

"Water, seven!" Su Han suddenly put aside her ink stick and stood behind Hao Ren. She held his right hand with her right hand and whispered softly by his ear.

Hao Ren felt a pure water element enter his arm; he quickly absorbed it using Sword Light Image Technique and dispersed it!

Three thick strokes of black ink were splashed out, and atop the gradually formed mountain in the picture appeared three peculiar rocks immediately!

"Wood, guide yourself to transform!" Su Han sent a pure energy of metal mingled with water through Hao Ren's hand.

Hao Ren took a deep breath, the Sword Light Image Technique spinning fast. He forcefully transformed into wood power; the ink diluted, blurry and hazy, making the entire picture lively!

Outline, texture stroke, rub, dot, wash! The techniques of landscape painting were naturally executed through the Five Elements True Qi!

The stunned people saw Su Han intimately hugging Hao Ren's arm as they painted together!

Hao Ren faintly felt Su Han's warmth and the fragrant whispers in his ear. With another deep breath, several additional drifting boats appeared below the great river!

Hao Ren and Su Han were indeed close friends; their minds seemed to connect instantly. Watching them, Xie Yujia felt a sense of melancholy.

"Swish"—Hao Ren and Su Han simultaneously raised their arms with brushes in hand, adding the final touch: a long arc of color at the top of the painting. The entire process was now complete.

Two beautiful women stepped forward and lifted the scroll by both ends gently.

"Venerating towering mountains, walking on great paths! Good, very good!" The white-haired vice chairman of the art association couldn't help but clap in admiration.

Following his praise, most people finally grasped the painting's meaning.

The highest realm of landscape painting lies not in technique, but in its意境 (intention).

In freehand brushwork, it's all about氣勢 (magnificence) and intention!

Compared to Qin Shaoyang's dual mastery of calligraphy and painting, this collaborative effort between Su Han and Hao Ren exhibited a superior level of intention.

Rushing rivers and continuous clouds; like canyons and towering mountains!

To仰 (look up) is to gaze at something with respect,景行 (great path) refers to an important route. One may look up to a mountain or walk on a great path.

The intention of this landscape painting was Su Han's response to Qin Shaoyang!

A long and arduous path for endless exploration!

Qin Shaoyang's face turned pale, his body trembling—not only because Su Han had given him a resounding slap through her brushwork but also due to the fact that she was painting intimately with this rascal.

"I didn't expect Hao Ren to be so skilled at painting," Marina, standing beside Xie Yujia, exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, Zhou Liren and his group, somewhere among the crowd, were utterly dumbfounded—this Hao Ren was just too arrogant! They had thought he could only paint "chickens pecking rice"!

Zhao Yanzi also covered her mouth with a finger, eyes fixed on what seemed to be a master-level landscape painting. She turned to Zhao Hongyu and asked, "Is this really Hao Ren's works heart grew even more intense. In such circumstances, it is difficult for Donghai City to protect him, and they have already sent Zhao Yanzi to relatively safe Xihai Longgong. If I lose my status as...
