Li Xiangqian also didn't expect that he secretly helped Yao Xuewei cut off the enemy's conspiracy, but he couldn't stop Yao Xuewei from being unlucky and actually pulled out a piece of material with horizontal stripes and cotton wool.
But there is no way.
Things have come to this and cannot be changed.
Whether it's good or bad depends on fate.
Due to limited time, after both parties selected the materials, Yao Xuewei and Qi Mengchen took the materials to their respective operating stations.
Immediately after a bell rings, the seconds start counting automatically.
Since there was nothing wrong with the material she chose, Qi Mengchen quickly determined the theme, and after simply drawing the appearance of the material to be carved on paper, she began the meticulous carving.
Yao Xuewei had huge problems with the materials she chose, so she did not start designing directly after the stopwatch started counting.
Instead, he was still observing the piece of material in his hand carefully.
Li Xiangqian couldn't help but feel slightly nervous when he saw this situation.
In the end, it took a full ten minutes for Yao Xuewei to completely determine the theme, then draw the lines before starting to carve.
Seeing the two of them busy carving, everyone in the venue gradually became quiet.
An hour can be said to be long, but it can also be said to be short.
With fifteen minutes left on the clock, Qi Mengchen had already finished carving the material.
It's really fast.
Qi Mengchen told the truth, apart from being unscrupulous when hooking up with Li Xiangqian before, he even wanted to use his beauty to lose Li Xiangqian's virginity.
But this woman is really quite capable. In addition to being Long Xiaoyun's direct disciple, she also studied abroad for several years and systematically studied Western jewelry design.
It is a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Compatible with others’ strengths.
This time, although she did not get the No. 75 piece of good material according to the conspiracy before the game, she still relied on her luck to choose a piece of ice-type pure natural colorless jadeite.
And relying on this piece of material, Qi Mengchen used the limited hour to directly carve a majestic and very artistic round jadeite.
If you look carefully at this jade carving, it is only about the size of a tea cup lid.
Qi Mengchen made full use of the characteristics of this piece of colorless ice jade and first carved clouds in about the top third of the material.
Look carefully.
The clouds swirled like ripples in the sky, making the entire sky look very gorgeous.
Under the gorgeous sky, what is carved is not a tall building, but an open three-story circular earth building with a strong regional flavor.
Take a closer look at these ancient earth buildings. Every rolling door, window, and even the continuous eaves are painted very realistically.
This unique earth building echoes the swirling clouds in the sky, giving people infinite yearning and beauty.
Good ingredients and good scenery,
A good scene deserves a good name.
Qi Mengchen gave this piece of material a very poetic name, called Sky City.
"It's really amazing. Qi Mengchen is truly the rising star of the Northern School. This kind of carving skill is beyond our reach."
"Of course, famous teachers give birth to great disciples. His master is Xiao Zhuge Long Xiaoyun. Qi Mengchen has learned his true story deeply. This time he came well prepared, so the champion must be Qi Mengchen."
"Well, indeed, I think Yao Xuewei is really in danger now, and the Southern sect may continue to wither."
Facing the whispers of everyone in the venue, Li Xiangqian saw that Yao Xuewei was still carving meticulously.
and was not affected in any way.
She is still so beautiful.
Still so calm.
Li Xiangqian had reason to believe that Yao Xuewei would be able to turn defeat into victory this time and use a victory to defend the dignity of himself and the entire Southern faction.
Time is still passing by minute by minute.
Fifty-eight minutes…
Fifty-nine minutes…
Finally, with less than five seconds left in the game, Yao Xuewei finally pressed the timer in front of her.
Then she stood up and handed the ingredients directly to the staff in front of her who greeted them.
At this time, everyone in the venue, including all the bosses and judges, unconsciously craned their necks to see what Yao Xuewei had carved out of this defective piece of material.
At this time, Li Xiangqian, although he still remained calm in the face of the turmoil in the field, he was still feeling inexplicably nervous inside.
However, when he saw Yao Xuewei's information, he was immediately shocked.
This piece of material...
how……
The large horizontal stripe on the material was actually avoided by Yao Xuewei in a reasonable and natural manner.
First of all, Yao Xuewei directly designed three lotus pods on the lower right side where the material has the most cotton wadding. The lotus pods have dense lines, which first weakens the defects of the material's cotton wadding.
Secondly, Yao Xuewei directly designed a grasshopper to stop on the lotus pod in the middle.
If you look closely, you will see that this Grasshopper has tall and lifelike whiskers, and its shape is very lifelike.
Next, the most quintessence of this material appeared.
This Grasshopper is lying on the lotus pod, kicking back its right leg naturally, but cleverly borrowing its left leg, which actually directly overlaps the very conspicuous large horizontal stripe on the material with the Grasshopper's left leg.
In this way, and then using clever knife skills to close it, the whole piece of material finally presents a very beautiful artistic conception.
Whether it is a lotus pod, a grasshopper, or rippling water, they are all extremely lifelike and lifelike.
It's absolutely amazing.
Now, the material has been turned into treasure, just like coming back from the dead, continuing its tenacious life again.
Yao Xuewei is not only beautiful in appearance, but also extremely talented in literature. After thinking about it seriously, she thought of the unique grasshopper on this material and the resurrection of the material, so she named this work Guoyun Changlong.
Originally, everyone in the venue looked at Qi Mengchen's sculpture of the extremely gorgeous city in the sky and already believed that Qi Mengchen would win.
However, when these well-informed experts and big shots saw Yao Xuewei's national fortune, they couldn't help but be even more surprised.
"Yao Xuewei is truly a disciple of Dong Yuchun. The cutting skills of this material are indeed exquisite. Whether it is a lotus pod or a grasshopper, it is so lifelike that it looks like the real thing."
"It's really good. I can turn a piece of material with large horizontal stripes and cotton wadding into treasure, thereby making the material extremely tense. I'm really a master."
"Yes, carving a piece of good material to make it even better is not really a skill, but being able to carve a piece of bad material into a artistic conception and reasonably avoid all the shortcomings is a real master."
Li Xiangqian didn't know much about jade carving, but seeing how perfectly Yao Xuewei carved the material, and the praise from some people around him, he also had an intuition that Yao Xuewei was very likely to make a comeback in this jade carving competition.
Sure enough, Li Xiangqian was not kept waiting for too long.
Seeing that both pieces of material were carved within the stipulated time, Xu Zhenqiang, the chairman of this jade carving competition, immediately became solemn.
"Everyone, according to the rules of this extra competition, the two masters of jade carving, Qi Mengchen and Yao Xuewei, represented the northern and southern schools respectively and completed the carving of the materials. Then, the ninety-nine professional judges present will observe.
"
"On-site voting will take place after twenty minutes. Each judge will have one vote. No abstentions are allowed, and no multiple votes are allowed. The one with the highest number of votes will be the winner of this Magic Sword Award Jade Sculpture Competition."
After Xu Zhenqiang finished speaking, he handed all the two pieces of ingredients in his hand to his assistant Han Yahong, and motioned to Han Yahong to put the ingredients on the wide table that had been prepared in advance, so that the ninety-nine judges would have enough space to observe.
