her fascination grew; they were just a few simple strokes, yet they gave her a sense of overwhelming momentum, clearing away the sands and spanning thousands of miles, grand and sweeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These simple characters evoked the sensation of listening to a magnificent symphony— unrestrained, serene, stirring, peaceful…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, beside her, three powerful surges of spiritual energy erupted violently, soaring into the sky, causing the air around them to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enlightenment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd looked on in shock toward one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Shi, the Ultimate Pen Peak Master, the Immortal Pen Peak Master—they have all achieved enlightenment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All three gained enlightenment at the same time, just because of these few characters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them, the onlookers burst into an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enlightenment was a rare and sought-after breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That a single piece of calligraphy by Cao Zhen could enlighten three people who followed the Calligraphy Dao at the scene was a testament to its extraordinary quality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew the writing was good, but they couldn’t have imagined it would be so profound as to induce enlightenment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Tiance and Xu Ruyi stood dumbfounded looking at the four large characters before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a long time for them to regain their composure, their eyes brimming with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen Peak Master Cao’s calligraphy before, and knew full well how astonishing it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But last time, Peak Master Cao’s writing was meticulous and neat, stroke by stroke, while the characters before them now were so wildly unrestrained and bold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peak Master Cao was also a master of cursive script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the second time they witnessed Peak Master Cao’s calligraphy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they hadn’t experienced enlightenment, they still felt they had gained much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Chang Tiance was the first to snap back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around at the dazed crowd, he called out with great pride, “What did I tell you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Cao Zhen, the Calligraphy Path would be eternally plunged in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you believe it now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him, there were no objections, and not a single voice spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could argue against him now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who had no understanding of calligraphy could see how extraordinary these few characters were, leading them to wonder how anyone in the world could produce such beautiful writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just look at the three individuals who had entered a state of enlightenment next to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their reaction alone, one could tell how astounding the calligraphy was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhen had yet another trick up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Zhuque’s finely made-up face finally showed a trace of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, this Cao Zhen was not entirely useless—at least in the art of calligraphy, he could outclass Shi Xiaolou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and asked Chen Qingluan challengingly, “Peak Master Chen, what do you think of these characters?” At last, she had regained some ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In comparison to these characters, Little Lou falls short.” Recovered from his enlightenment, Shi Xiaolou gave a fist and palm salute to Cao Zhen, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you, Peak Master Cao, for bestowing upon me your calligraphy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly hadn’t expected that within the Hundred Peaks Sect, there would be someone capable of writing at such a level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even his master’s cursive script could reach such heights!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Cao Zhen, a man from the lowest-ranked peak within the Hundred Peaks Sect, produce such a cursive script?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, this man was not one who pursued the Calligraphy Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ultimate Pen Peak Master, having recovered from his enlightenment, quickly thanked Cao Zhen, “Thank you, Peak Master Cao, for your guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t expect you to have such mastery in the Calligraphy Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you will visit us at the Ultimate Pen Peak when you find time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Immortal Pen Peak Master quickly added, “Yes, whenever Peak Master Cao is available, please visit us at Immortal Pen Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope we can have the chance to exchange thoughts and appreciate your calligraphy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They now understood why their disciples had praised Cao Zhen so highly before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had seen Cao Zhen’s calligraphy earlier, they would have done the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhen sighed lightly at the two eagerly welcoming Peak Masters, “I would indeed like to exchange ideas with you, but the problem is, you are too poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you had enough money, I could teach you the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, and Huai Su next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was willing to teach, but the problem was that both Ultimate Pen Peak and Immortal Pen Peak were among the bottom fifty peaks—too poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these two peaks were as wealthy as Little Zen Peak, he wouldn’t have waited for them to ask; he would have approached them himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were astonished, “Wang Xizhi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenqing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Gongquan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Su?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who are they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why have we never heard of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhen looked at them with contempt, “You don’t know them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the venerated forebears of historical calligraphy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xizhi is an existence revered as the ‘Sage of Calligraphy’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exclaimed in awe, “The Sage of Calligraphy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of realm must one reach in calligraphy to be called such?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally, it is a very high, very high level,” Cao Zhen felt that his own calligraphy was at level ninety-nine, and if he had made a connection with Wang Xizhi back then, his calligraphy would definitely be MAX.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They inquired further, “What about Yan Zhenqing then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan Zhenqing, along with Liu Gongquan, are known as ‘Yan’s muscle and Liu’s bone.’ Their brushwork is forceful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two Peak Masters incessantly praising Cao Zhen, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Shi Xiaolou’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had written a pair of characters as a congratulatory gift, which was unconventional, considerate, and would show the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect how exquisite his calligraphy was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cao Zhen had also written a pair of characters, overshadowing his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did that leave his own dignity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the characters from the two peaks’ masters being praised in front of him, what did that make of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he had thanked Cao Zhen in front of everyone for his calligraphy, which had enlightened him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was just for the sake of appearances, to avoid being criticized for lack of upbringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no real need to be grateful to him, because he had bought those characters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was the masters of those two peaks who should be grateful to him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-05T20:16:53.192Z",1,"novelbin.me","87d4ad1b13d2dbe3b289ef82d9872c09fb97ee968a1236d86611ec550f28b403","my-master-knows-it-all-chapter-198","my-master-knows-it-all-chapter-196",2520,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-knows-it-all-cover.jpg"]
