Chapter 23: Painter Cat

First of all, the first competition is about sculptures!
In front of Tom Mu was a marble as tall as one person.
In front of the jade pot is an embryo of a stone pot.
Neither party is human, one is a ghost, and the other is a cat from a funny cartoon.
Even if you really compete in artistic skills, you will never be able to follow the rules and take your time like ordinary people.
Yuhu picked up two small awls that looked like fish bones and started carving on the stone pot without even thinking about it, not even bothering to draw lines.
The jade pot moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two women's figures had already taken shape on the pot.
On the other side, Tang Mu was just looking at the marble up and down, but showed no signs of taking action.
A few more minutes passed, and the stone pot carved from the jade pot took shape more and more.
Those were two women wearing kimonos and holding umbrellas under the snow during the Edo period.
The women on the reliefs whisper to each other, and the emotions between their eyebrows are vivid.
Behind the woman, there is aDead trees covered with snow.
The overall picture gives people a desolate feeling.
"It's really well carved."
Although the onlookers don't know much about Japanese culture, the ability to appreciate beauty is common to all human beings.
So after seeing Yu Hu's performance so well, the townspeople of Rhodes began to worry about Tom Mu.
After all, Yu Hu was completing the work at an incredible speed, but Tang Mu remained motionless.
Anyone would feel that Tang Mu was a little hung up.
Yuhu naturally thought so too.
During the break of carving the stone pot, Yuhu raised his head and glanced at Tang Mu. Seeing that Tang Mu still didn't move, he couldn't help but sneer: "You don't know anything, are you just pretending?"
When Tang Mu heard this, he turned to look at the jade pot and raised the tools in his hands with a deep look on his face.
The chisel is held in the left hand and the hammer is held in the right hand.
Knock lightly on the marble that is as tall as one person in front of you!
"Wow!"
The marble suddenly shattered to pieces on the ground, and out came the Monkey King, the Monkey King, wearing a golden chainmail armor, a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, walking on lotus root silk, and holding a wishful golden cudgel.
This stone is lifelike, as if it will fly away in the clouds and mist in a second.
The surrounding townspeople marveled at such an exquisite stone statue. Many people gathered around and looked at Tang Mu's masterpiece carefully.
Yuhu stared at Tang Mu's performance dumbfounded, and stood stunned on the spot.
He really couldn't figure out how on earth Tang Mu carved such a highly completed stone statue in one second.
But now is not the time for him to think too much.
Now that Tom has finished the work, he has to speed up.
After a few more minutes, Yuhu's work was completed.
Although the speed is slower than Tang Mu, Yuhu still has strong confidence in his art.
Until all the surrounding townspeople completed voting on the two sculptures...
"I declare that Mr. Tom won the first sculpture competition!"
After the mayor tallied the voting data, he raised Tom Mu's paw and cheered loudly!
"Oooo!!!"
The townspeople didn't care who won, they just wanted to cheer along at the right time.
"How is that possible! Don't you understand art?! How can works like this be compared with my art!"
Yuhu was very unconvinced, and even had a lot of murderous intent in his heart, wanting to massacre everyone in the entire town.
Before Yu Hu went crazy, Tang Mu noticed something strange about Yu Hu, so he handed another sign to Inosuke.
Taking the sign, Inosuke shouted toward the jade pot: "(#`o′)Hey!"
While shouting, Inosuke was still shaking the sign in his hand.
It read: "Do you still dare to compete in painting?"
"Damn it!"
Yuhu's mood was extremely bad. He clenched his fists and the layers of scales on them quickly emerged.
He must never admit that he was defeated in art.
Although I felt very unhappy, I still agreed: "Let's continue!"
At Tom Mu's request, the townspeople sent four easels and drawing boards, as well as a large number of paints and brushes.
On the other side, Yuhu seemed to be competing with Tang Mu.
A pot as big as a man was moved out of the exhibition car, and he planned to paint on this big pot.
With the use of the Vampire Technique, every stroke of the jade pot can be perfectly penetrated into the body of the pot.
The color is natural and beautiful.
A stroke of the pen on the jade pot turns into a thrilling blue color.
What he painted was Ukiyo-e, which was the most popular painting method at that time.
In order to defeat Tang Mu this time, Yuhu felt that he had performed perfectly.
It's been a long time since I felt as free and happy as I do now.
If Tang Mu hadn't really hated it, Yu Hu would have considered saving its life for the sake of this feeling.
"Wow!!"
"Oh my God!"
"I'll just say it's the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci!"
The exclamations from the surrounding townspeople made Yuhu feel bad.
Turning his head to look in the direction of Tom Mu, he was suddenly startled again!
I saw Tom Mu sitting on a high stool, holding several paintbrushes in his hands and feet, and he was splashing his unparalleled talent on four pieces of paper!
On the right side of Tom Mu is a "Mona Lisa".
On the left hand side is a painting of "The Scream".
The left foot is a piece of "Starry Sky".
The right foot is a painting of "Sunflower".
Each of these paintings is at the level of a world-famous painting, and is exactly the same as the original work by the original artist!
When comparing Tom's paintings with those of Leonardo da Vinci and Edvard Munch, in terms of painting skills alone, they are evenly matched.
The town of Rhodes originally arose because of the discovery of gold mines in the surrounding area. All kinds of people came here.
Naturally, there are many knowledgeable people who know the goods.
After seeing Tang Mu's paintings gradually taking shape, they all seemed to sense a huge business opportunity, and their eyes gleamed.
Looking at Tang Mu, his intense emotions were no less intense than those in the jade pot!
After quickly finishing the world-famous paintings on the front, Tang Mu began to draw other things that were incomprehensible.
Yuhu just glanced at Tang Mu and quickly looked away.
To this day, he still does not admit that Tang Mu's artistic attainments are higher than his.
I firmly believe that the appreciation level of the surrounding townspeople must be too low and they are completely unqualified to judge his art.
Finally, another period of timepast.
Under everyone's gaze, both artists have completed their works.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the results of this competition at a glance.
In a short period of time, Tang Mu used his hands and feet to create four world-famous paintings at the same time.
Although the jade pot performed well, the huge pot depicts three advancing ships, riding the wind and waves in the rough sea. The contrast between movement and stillness is clearly rendered!
​Absolutely a masterpiece.
But the result was obvious. Under Yu Hu's angry gaze, the mayor loudly declared Tang Mu's victory!
The jade pot is almost about to explode, and the body of the evil ghost under the black robe is shaking violently, and it seems that it will kill people in a second!
At this moment, Tom Mu suddenly meowed.
Turn over the four paintings it painted and put them together.
A brand new painting appears in front of everyone!
The moment he saw the painting, Yu Hu, who was about to go on a killing spree, was suddenly stunned.
Because of that painting...
