Chapter 198: You guys from Great Yan are so trash, I think highly of you for being trash!

Lin Beifan had a complex expression in his eyes: “Third Prince, it’s our turn again!”

The Third Prince’s eyes were also complex: “Yes, things are unpredictable!”

Both couldn’t help but sigh.

The Third Prince glanced over: “Do you know what to do next?”

“Of course I do!” Lin Beifan held his head high: “Third Prince, I will definitely not hold back! I will crush you with unparalleled strength and prove that none of you in Great Yan can fight!”

The Third Prince’s face darkened: “Principal Lin, that’s enough!”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I know what to do!”

While speaking in riddles, the two started to compare their artwork.

Lin Beifan picked up a brush and quickly sketched on the paper, forming a contour rapidly.

The Third Prince didn’t pick up a brush but secretly observed Lin Beifan’s drawing.

He noticed that Lin Beifan had restrained himself a lot, his brushstrokes were much more clumsy, and he nodded to himself.

In this way, it would be much easier for him to win against Lin Beifan, just by performing normally.

Before Lin Beifan finished his drawing, he picked up the brush and splashed ink on the paper.

After all, this was drawing and not writing, it required a lot of time, and time was not abundant, they had to seize the opportunity.

The Empress and the civil and military officials were all focused on the two artists.

“Principal Lin’s brushstrokes seem to have become clumsy, not as smooth and seamless as before…” a senior court official furrowed his brows and voiced his concern.

“This situation is normal!” another senior court official sighed: “Whether it’s writing or drawing, it consumes a lot of mental energy! Principal Lin has already been holding on for nearly two hours since earlier, even an iron man can’t handle it, it’s normal for his skill to decline!”

“Yes, anyone would get tired, it’s already remarkable that Principal Lin could hold on until now!”

“If it weren’t for Mr. Principal being here, we would have long been defeated, we can’t ask for more from him!”

“Losing is just losing in one game, no big deal!”



The Empress watched Lin Beifan paint and listened to the whispers of the officials.

In her heart, she thought, “Haha, this guy is tired? He’s a grandmaster, full of energy. Even if he fought for three days, he wouldn’t get tired! He must have secretly received money! No wonder he’s been acting so strange since earlier. He’s really good at acting, I almost believed it!”

After about half a stick of incense, Lin Beifan finished his work. He looked at his painting, moving his slightly sore arms and shook his head with a sigh. “I’m too tired today. The performance of this painting is a bit off, I might lose, sigh.”

“Sir Lin, your performance today has been impressive enough! If you lose this match, it’s not a big deal. Tomorrow, you’ll win it back!” The Empress encouraged earnestly.

“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!” Lin Beifan saluted.

The Third Prince sneakily glanced at Lin Beifan’s painting, a smug smile appeared on his face. With this level of artwork, he was certain of his victory! So he continued to paint vigorously.

On the side of Great Yan, hope surged again in their hearts.

“Lin Beifan is struggling. This time, we will definitely win!”

“Your Highness, keep going! We will win for sure!”

“This time, we can do it!”

At that moment, Lin Beifan, who had already finished his painting, hooked his finger.

He activated the Flowing Six Void Art once again.

Suddenly, a huge lightning bolt appeared in the clear sky.

“Boom!”

The sound was extremely loud.

The Third Prince, who was concentrating on his painting, was stunned by the thunderous sound.

His hand trembled as he painted, resulting in a big blotch on the paper, looking particularly awkward.

The Third Prince exclaimed, “Damn!”

“It’s okay, it’s just a small extra mark. There’s still a chance to fix it!” The Third Prince silently admonished himself to stay calm and not be impulsive. There was still enough time and room for recovery.

So he worked on fixing the blotch with his brush.

After a while, the masterpiece was restored.

The Third Prince smiled smugly in his heart, “A little difficulty. Can it really defeat me?”

After checking the time, they continued to paint vigorously.

Just then, Lin Beifan hooked his finger again.

“Boom!”

Another clear sky thunderbolt!

The Third Prince was startled once again, his hand trembled and another blotch appeared on the painting.

The Third Prince exclaimed, “What the hell…”

At this moment, the Third Prince was furious!

Why did the lightning always strike when he was painting? Did the heavens have something against him?

“It’s okay, there’s still time, there’s a chance to fix it!” The Third Prince dipped the brush in ink and started to fix the second blotch.

Within the time of three cups of tea, it was restored again.

Although there were some flaws, there was no major issue.

“Haha, it’s still not difficult for me!” The Third Prince continued to write and paint.

Meanwhile, Lin Beifan casually enjoyed his tea and hooked his little finger.

“Boom!”

Another clear sky thunderbolt!

The sound was even louder!

The Third Prince was mentally prepared, but he was still stunned by the sound of the thunderbolt.

His hand couldn’t help but tremble again, and a big blotch appeared.

The Third Prince cursed, “You…”

Everyone looked up at the sky in confusion.

“Why are there so many thunderbolts, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to rain?”

“Clear sky for miles, not even a cloud in sight!”

“The weather is really strange!”

While cursing in his mind, the Third Prince used the brush to fix the big blotch.

However, this blotch was too obvious, it disrupted the harmony of the entire painting, and no matter how he tried to fix it, it didn’t work well.

“It’s okay, my painting is still better than Lin Beifan’s. I can still win!” He could only console himself this way.

Looking at the time, he realized there wasn’t much time left.

He became a bit more nervous, sweat forming on his face, and he started to paint faster.

Just then, there was another loud thunder from the sky.

However, the Third Prince had become accustomed to it and was completely unaffected.

“Hmph! A small thunderbolt, it can’t scare me anymore!” The Third Prince felt proud in his heart.

However, at this moment, a gust of eerie wind suddenly blew in!

It blew the painting on the table!

The Third Prince didn’t notice in time, and with one stroke of the brush, he drew a long, thin line that went through the entire painting.

It was like having a long scar on the face, exceptionally ugly.

The Third Prince: “F*ck…”

It was nothing but curses, words that cannot be said!

He really wanted to kill someone!

What sins had he committed for the heavens to treat him like this?

If you tell me, I’ll change!

Is it fun to torture me like this?

In a desperate situation, he could only quickly fix the impact of this thin line and minimize its influence on the painting.

At this moment, thunderous lightning from the sky struck again.

“Boom!”

The Third Prince’s hand trembled once more, and another mistake appeared on the paper.

The Third Prince: “…”

Time unknowingly passed by.

Just then, the referee shouted, “Time’s up! Third Prince of Great Yan, please stop painting!”

“Wait! It’s almost done…” The Third Prince said urgently while continuing to paint.

The referee shouted again, “Third Prince, stop painting immediately, or else you will be declared the loser!”

“Ah!” The Third Prince reluctantly put down his brush.

His painting was hung up by the referee for everyone to appreciate and comment on.

After seeing this painting, everyone was shocked!

Especially the representatives of Great Yan!

“Your Highness, did you really paint this?”

“Why does it look so poor, this is not your usual standard!”

“Your Highness, what happened…”



The Third Prince felt ashamed, covering his face: “Please stop talking! When I was painting, I was disturbed by the thunderous lightning from the sky, and then there was a gust of eerie wind, so I made a mistake with my strokes! This is the best I could do!”

“I see… That’s the case!”

“But can we win with this painting?”



Everyone was initially full of confidence, but after seeing this painting, they became uneasy.

“There must still be hope!” The Third Prince held onto his last hope.

At this moment, everyone started to vote.

“I vote for Mr. Principal! Although Mr. Principal’s brushwork has declined, the overall look of the painting is still very neat and pleasant. It’s much better than the Third Prince’s!”

“I also vote for the Mr. Principal. The Third Prince made too many mistakes, I really dislike it!”

“I vote for the Third Prince. Despite the mistakes, his handling was quite clever! Overall, it looks better than the Mr. Principal’s!”

“I also vote for the Third Prince!”



Like this, one vote after another, the final result was —

“The Third Prince of Great Yan received 32 votes, Lin Beifan of Great Wu received 45 votes, so Lin Beifan from Great Wu wins!”

“Finally, in the painting contest, Great Wu wins!”

The Third Prince of Great Yan and his people closed their eyes in pain, they had lost again.

On the side of Great Wu, they were ecstatic.

“We’ve won again in Great Wu!”

“Four consecutive victories, a brilliant triumph!”

“Mr. Principal is amazing!”



The Third Prince looked at everything in despair.

He had put in so much effort, even risking everything, but in the end, he still lost. The blow was too great!

He actually felt a bit dizzy and unsteady on his feet.

Everyone was shocked.

“Third Prince, what’s wrong with you?”

“Why is your face so pale?”



The Third Prince touched his cold chest and painfully said, “We lost another round, it hurts in my heart!”

“Your Highness, it’s not your fault. Who could have predicted the abnormal weather?”

“We didn’t lose to Great Wu, we lost to the will of heaven. Don’t let this matter weigh on your heart!”

“Your Highness, stand up, you can’t fall!”

“You are our pillar, you must hold us up!”



The Third Prince felt the care and love from everyone, and he felt a warmth in his heart, showing a forced smile. “Thank you all for comforting me. I feel much better now!”

At this moment, Lin Beifan’s mocking laughter resounded, “Even though I performed poorly, you still couldn’t defeat me? You people from Great Yan are so trash, impressively lousy! Haha!”

The Third Prince coughed up blood in anger, “F*cj!”

On that day, news of Lin Beifan leading Great Wu to win two consecutive rounds spread quickly.

The people rejoiced, singing and dancing.

“We’ve won again!”

“Four consecutive victories, such a beautiful win! Principal Lin is awesome!”

“Who dares to say that Great Wu is not capable anymore?”



The representatives of Great Yan were in a state of shock and despair, feeling very upset. Their spirit and morale were crushed.

The Third Prince couldn’t say any comforting words because he was the one who suffered the most.

To pay such a huge price and not achieve a good result, but instead lose even more miserably than the day before, it was truly frustrating!

And to top it off, it was all because of his performance, two times in a row!

The thought of death crossed his mind!
