"Look, Third Brother is moving." Reynolds said in delight.
George and Yale immediately turned to Lin Feng. Lin Feng suddenly stood up and looked at the huge rock in front of him. The boulder was over two meters tall and three to four meters long.
Staring at the lines and patterns on the boulder, Lin Feng realized that the stone patterns were very messy. However, after a long time of staring, some of the patterns seemed to have been extracted and gathered in his mind.
These patterns vaguely resembled five human figures.
In a trance, the five human figures turned into five Delia, and all kinds of scenes kept appearing in Lin Feng's mind. The giant stone in his mind was naturally peeled off and finally turned into five female sculptures.
In truth, Doehring Cowart was also at the side. However, Reynolds and the other two couldn't see Doehring Cowart looking at Lin Feng. He was shocked, This Lin Feng seems to have entered a new realm.”As a master sculptor, Doehring Cowart could easily guess Lin Feng's current state.
Lin Feng took out a flat blade from his bag. He held it in his right hand and stared at the huge rock. Then, he moved, and the flat blade turned into a blade shadow. The huge rock was instantly thrown into the air.
The spirit fused with the earth, the wind, the light…
Lin Feng's spirit could clearly feel the patterns inside the entire boulder. The blade he waved was like a breeze cutting the boulder. Every cut seemed to have gone through strict measurement, no more, no less, precise to the peak.
He would occasionally wave his blade quickly, occasionally touch it slowly and carefully, occasionally leave a mark in the air, and occasionally chop off a piece of rock…
"I still remember the first time we met. You looked at me curiously.”
Lin Feng's mind was filled with the scene of his first encounter with Delia. The feelings from the bottom of his heart were completely instilled into his blade. The snowflakes around Lin Feng began to swirl around him. His soul had never been able to fuse with the seven elements before, but the elements kept pouring into Lin Feng's body.
Lin Feng didn't have any other thoughts. He was currently indulging in his feelings.
Gradually, the leftmost one-fifth of the boulder was carved into the shape of a woman. The rough outline of the stone sculpture was out. Lin Feng didn't eat or drink, continuing to carve without stopping. Sometimes, he could swing the knife dozens of times in an instant, and sometimes, he could only carve a beautiful line carefully in a few minutes.
……
Lin Feng, who had completely integrated his feelings for Delia into his blade, didn't realize that this was the first time he had been in such a state since he started sculpting.
However, it was different this time. Lin Feng was completely immersed in his past emotions and the passion of sculpting. He didn't even realize that he needed to stop, or that he needed to eat or drink. This state of absolute immersion allowed Lin Feng to merge with nature like never before.
In that state of absolute fusion with nature, Lin Feng's spiritual power was growing at an unprecedented speed…
Lin Feng's spiritual power was growing thousands of times faster than normal people.
"It's truly a pleasant surprise to be completely in harmony with nature and reach the level of 'selflessness.'”Doehring Cowart's eyes lit up.
Days passed, and Lin Feng was completely immersed in it. Elements of different elements were constantly pouring into his body to replenish the energy he had consumed.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had been sculpting for ten days and ten nights.
"Peng!"
With Lin Feng as the center, the snowflakes flew in all directions. Lin Feng, who was holding a flat knife, calmly looked at the huge stone sculpture in front of him. This was the sculpture that he had spent the most effort on, the largest sculpture that he had ever made, and also his most successful one.
This stone sculpture was made up of five female sculptures, each of which was modeled after Delia. There was also the cute appearance of whispering in class; There was her shy appearance when she was in love, and there was also her touching appearance when she was in love. There was also the look of reluctance on her face when she said goodbye.
"It's been seven years, Delia. I've never realized that I love you so much before, but now, I realize that my love for you is so strong that it's indescribable. Your beautiful figure has long been engraved into my heart.”Looking at the sculpture, Lin Feng felt his heart relax like never before. It was as if half a year of longing had been entrusted to this stone sculpture.
Reynolds, George, and Yale stared blankly at this sculpture. They were completely stunned by this sculpture. In their eyes, the five human figures of this sculpture seemed to have a soul. The human-shaped sculpture on the leftmost side, that gentle beauty and weakness, was something that caused people to feel pity for it.
The second human-shaped sculpture was filled with cuteness and liveliness, and it was very tempting.
The third humanoid statue was like a girl blushing in front of him.
……
The five people in the stone sculpture had their own unique charm.
"Lin Feng." Doehring Cowart walked over, his moon-white robe still spotless.
Lin Feng looked at Doehring Cowart.
Doehring Cowart had a gratified look on his face."Your sculpting skills have already reached the level of a grandmaster. This sculpture of yours can be considered as the representative sculpture of our Straight Blade School. After this experience, I'm sure you've gained a deeper understanding of stone sculpting.”
Lin Feng nodded.
After completing this sculpture, Lin Feng finally understood why there were only one or two sculptures left behind by some of the great sculptors. It wasn't that those master sculptors weren't capable enough, but rather... those truly divine works of art were something that could only be found by chance.
For example, Lin Feng could complete this sculpture, but if you asked him to carve another one, it would be impossible.
To create a sculpture that could be called a divine work, it required exquisite craftsmanship, wonderful inspiration, and passion. Only with absolute passion and 100% integration. Unreserved feelings were the only way to complete a shocking piece of work.
If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Feng's love for Delia had accumulated over the past seven years to an indescribable level, and if Delia hadn't left Lin Feng for half a year, torturing him with longing, Lin Feng wouldn't have been able to create such a world-shaking work.
Lin Feng had completed this sculpture, but he didn't know when he would be able to complete another sculpture that was comparable to it.
However, after ten days and nights of sculpting, Lin Feng had clearly remembered that wonderful state of mind. In fact, his sculpting state had improved. If Lin Feng were to carve another sculpture, it would be much better than the one that was worth five to six thousand gold coins, even if it wasn't as good as this one.
"Lin Feng, can you feel the change in your spirit energy?”Doehring Cowart laughed smugly.
Lin Feng was stunned.
Spiritual power?
That surging spiritual force was much more vast than before. It was much stronger than before. If Lin Feng's gnome divine power was just a small tree ten days ago, it would have been much stronger than before. Lin Feng's spirit power was like a towering tree.
"How did it increase so much?" Lin Feng was shocked.
Doehring Cowart smiled smugly, his white beard curling up."Ten times! Your spiritual power has improved in just ten days. He had obtained a terrifying increase, reaching ten times the amount of strength he had ten days ago! In just ten days, you've caught up to others who have trained for decades. Your gnome divine power has directly jumped from the peak of the eighth rank to the peak of the ninth rank.”
Lin Feng found it hard to believe.
The increase was too much, ten times!
"The effect is very good, right? Hmph, I, Doehring Cowart, have created the Straight Blade School of Carving. There is no doubt about its effects. But…I really envy you.”Doehring Cowart smiled, his eyes narrowing. "Lin Feng. You should know that merging with absolute feelings. It was very rare for one's soul to be in complete harmony with nature.”
Lin Feng nodded.
If it was easy to enter that state, then it would not be rare to see divine works.
"In the original book, Lin Feng learned that Alice had lied to him and suffered a huge emotional blow. He then had an epiphany and carved out the world-shocking sculpture,'Awakening From the Dream'. However, because of his intense love for Delia, he carved out this giant sculpture.”
"Moreover, these two sculptures are so similar. They both have five styles, and they are both for women. It's just that 'Awakening From the Dream' was made out of hatred, while this sculpture was made out of love.”
"I've been alive for nearly 1,300 years. And I only entered that state three times and completed three of my proudest works.”Doehring Cowart had a proud look on his face as he continued," However, I spent two days, four days, and three days sculpting those three pieces. In total, it's only been nine days. It's not even once for you.”
Lin Feng had heard Doehring Cowart say that he had spent ten days and ten nights sculpting.
"This state is the fastest state of increasing spiritual power when carving with a straight blade. In that state, it's probably a thousand times more than ordinary people! This state is the state we dream of. The longer you stay in this state, the better. The bigger the sculpture, the more benefits you will receive.”
Lin Feng admitted in his heart.
The stone sculpture 'Awakening From the Dream' and the one he had carved were both gigantic stone sculptures. There were five figures carved on them, and they were extremely rare large-scale stone sculptures. Lin Feng's spiritual power had skyrocketed, and he had directly jumped from a grade-6 mage to a grade-7 mage. He had crossed the first major threshold in the path of a mage's cultivation, and he himself had jumped from the peak of a grade-8 mage to the peak of a grade-9 mage.
Doehring Cowart let out a long sigh." But when inspiration and passion come, the model of the sculpture is already in your head. There's no other choice.”
Lin Feng understood.
It was just like when he saw that huge rock, saw those marks, and because of his emotions, he naturally imagined five human figures in his mind. When the passion came, he would forget the world and himself, only knowing how to sculpt!
All of his spirit, all of his emotions, were focused on the stone sculpture.
When entering that state, there was absolutely no other mental state to think about 'I want to refine an enormous stone sculpture'. It was simply impossible to be distracted, and once distracted, that state would be destroyed.
"Lin Feng, I want to ask, what's the name of your work?”Doehring Cowart asked.
"What name?" Lin Feng started to think. In the original book, Lin Feng's work was named 'Awakening From the Dream', because a good dream was shattered. However, his work definitely couldn't be named that. After all, the concept was different.
"Let's call it 'love'!" Lin Feng thought of many names, but none of them were suitable for this sculpture. In the end, he could only simplify it and name it 'love'.
Doehring Cowart thought to himself for a moment before nodding slightly."Not bad, good name. This stone sculpture completely represents the simple but intense love between you and your little girlfriend. These five characters are connected in a line, which is a perfect love.”
