Time passed minute by minute, second by second, as everyone at the scene focused their attention on the words that these people were writing.
Some people praised the words on the paper endlessly, while others could not help but shake their heads in regret.
Ding Hao's eyes revealed interest as he looked down at Jin Yi. This brat had bragged in front of him that he could definitely garner the appreciation of a big bear, but he didn't know how strong he actually was.
Seeing Jin Yi's confident brushes started to dance on the xuan paper, and after a while, wrote down five big words. In the end, the finishing touch made the words look lively, and Jin Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Xiong Yinloong paced back and forth, and upon seeing Jin Yi's work, his eyes revealed a look of shock, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Such a brilliant move at such a young age, what a genius!"
"Now that the competition is over, please give your comments, Senior Xiong." The host's voice sounded once again.
Xiong Yinloong's expression was solemn as he selected a few of the most typical works to comment on, and amongst them, Jin Yi's was highly rated.
A proud expression surfaced on Jin Yi's face. As the peerless genius of the calligraphy world, obtaining the appreciation of Senior Xiong was an easy task.
When Jin Yi's gaze swept across the viewing platform, he unintentionally discovered that Ding Hao, who was sitting on it, was looking at him with a disdainful gaze. It was as if he was responding because Ding Hao did not pay attention to him previously.
"You just missed the chance to get the signature of the future big boss of the calligraphy world. Now, I'll make it so that you won't be able to climb over me!" Jin Yi was secretly pleased with himself. He was only waiting for Senior Xiong to open his mouth and accept a disciple.
As for why Jin Yi was so sure that Xiong Yinloong would have a great chance of accepting him as his disciple, one was because his own level had already reached the pinnacle among his peers, and the other was because of the five words that he had written himself.
"Please accept me as your disciple!"
Xiong Yinloong's eyes revealed a gratified look. He was already in his sixties, and there was no suitable successor for his calligraphy skill, although his own grandson Xiong Kuan had received his teachings from a young age, his achievements were limited. If he could find someone with a high talent, he would be able to impart his calligraphy skill.
The Jin Yi in front of him was very suitable, thus Xiong Yinloong already had the idea of taking Jin Yi as his disciple.
"Today, this old man saw that the younger generation is full of vigor and love for calligraphy, so he wanted to accept a disciple. If there are no objections to these youths, then I will announce the person to take them in." Xiong Yinloong said loudly.
Most of them wanted to become disciples of the calligraphy world's Tai Dou Xiong Yinloong, but when they heard today that Xiong Yinloong was going to accept a disciple, their mood immediately rose. To them, this was extremely good news.
As long as one became Xiong Yinloong's disciple, their position in the calligraphy world would rise sharply, and would be even more prestigious than ordinary calligraphy masters.
After Jin Yi heard this, a hint of joy surfaced on his face. This was completely within his expectations and he only needed to wait for Senior Xiong to announce his name so that he could become a disciple legitimately.
Ding Hao squinted his eyes slightly. Originally, he did not want to get into trouble, but Jin Yi's disdainful look just now had made him very unhappy. Since you are so proud, then I will not mind to file your spirit.
"I refuse to accept this, I want to challenge him!" Ding Hao shouted from the stands.
Xiong Yinloong's personal announcement had a lot of authority, and the words he said just now were simply greetings, meaning that he already had a choice in mind, and now that youth was refuting it, wasn't he deliberately not giving Xiong Yinloong face?
Xiong Yinloong's face sunk, his expression was displeased, he did not know who said that, but when he looked towards the direction of the voice, his eyes was filled with complex emotions, and his heart was at a loss for words, it was actually Young Master Ding!
The reason why he called Ding Hao over was to help him understand the profoundness of his calligraphy, and to bring him into the relationship, but now that he had actually come to slap his own face in front of everyone and ruin his own territory, he couldn't really reprimand his benefactor, so he could only sigh.
"He's not giving Senior Xiong any face at all. It seems like this young man is going to suffer."
"That's right. I heard that not only is senior Xiong's calligraphy skills amazing, but his martial dao is also unfathomable. No ordinary person can match him."
"Foolish young man, you can't even recognize the words in his words. Truly foolish."
"..."
Just as everyone thought that Ding Hao was about to be chased out, Xiong Yinloong's tone was gentle, and said: "Little brother, do you have any objections?"
"What?" When everyone heard Xiong Yinloong's calm words, they were instantly shocked. Was this still the impatient Senior Xiong that was prone to rage?
"It's the same person from before!" Jin Yi's eyes revealed a look of surprise, and exclaimed.
Could he also be a genius in calligraphy?
"I feel that my work has more appeal than his." Ding Hao said indifferently, his expression calm.
"…" Xiong Yinloong was stunned at first, but after that he became a little speechless, and muttered in his heart: "I still don't know your calligraphy skills, but that level can only be described as ordinary. It's very normal, and any person selected to participate in the calligraphy competition would be stronger than you."
"I want to come down and fight with Jin Yi. I want to write five words at the same time for the entire audience to evaluate me. Ding Hao slowly said.
"Compete with me?" Jin Yi was startled, an uneasy feeling rose in his heart, could he really be a prodigy in calligraphy?
Would this affect Senior Xiong's desire to become his disciple?
"Since you are so confident, come down and write a few words. Let everyone decide whose work is more popular." Xiong Yinloong saw the determination in Ding Hao's eyes and sighed.
Ding Hao walked down from the stage, and as he passed by Jin Yi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faintly discernable smile.
Jin Yi's body tensed, as though he was facing a great enemy, his eyes revealed a sense of vigilance.
"Use the brush and paper on the nearby table to write on it. The time limit is one incense stick." Xiong Yinloong said.
Ding Hao nodded his head, he extended his hand and grabbed the brush, and took out a clean piece of Xuan paper. After thinking for a moment, he started to write with his brush, the Spirit Qi was extremely powerful, his posture was extremely unrestrained and his eyes were firm.
The crowd all held their breaths. Although the arrogant people were not loved by others, most of them had real abilities. Could it be that the plot would be reversed today?
Xiong Yinloong's heart was in a mess, why did Young Master Ding come here? With his calligraphy skills, wasn't he trying to attract attention?
"I'm done." Ding Hao put down his brush and looked at his calligraphy piece as he nodded in satisfaction.
Jin Yi's expression was anxious, the writing did not even take ten seconds, how much confidence did he have to be able to do it with his own strength, even he himself was not able to do it, could it be that he met a talent that only appears once in a hundred years?
When Jin Yi went closer to Ding Hao's work to look, his expression was somewhat strange, with a puzzled look, he muttered: "This … Is this a new school? "
