Ever since he was young, Old Yan was a typical person who loved to watch bustling scenes. If Old Gu was still worried about Yang Shuxin's preparation, then when Old Yan found out that Yang Shuxin and Yuan Zhou would be competing, each of them sculpting a Nine Dragon Sculpture, his expression became even happier.
"There's going to be a good show," Senior Yan murmured.
No matter what, the ice sculpture began.
Yang Shuxin had all kinds of carving knives, even the files that needed to be sharpened. All the utensils were placed in a row, looking very professional.
On the contrary, Yuan Zhou only had a kitchen knife in his hand. Although he wasn't as professional as Yuan Zhou, he didn't lose at all. With a knife in hand, he looked like he could conquer the world.
When the carving knife cut the ice, it emitted a "Ca Ca" sound. Yang Shuxin had already started. With the largest carving knife in his hand, he wanted to carve a rough model first.
His movements were fast, accurate, and ruthless. In just a little while, the square ice block turned into a strange, irregular polygonal shape.
Of course, it was now in a strange shape because Yang Shuxin hadn't made any detailed efforts. With a slight turn of his hand, Yang Shuxin had already changed the largest carving knife into a medium-sized one at an extremely fast speed. His movements were as smooth as flowing water.
Even the customers who supported Yuan Zhou at the side couldn't help praising him for changing the knife so quickly. It was unknown how many years he had practiced to be able to achieve such a smooth speed.
As Yang Shuxin gradually got into a good state, Yuan Zhou naturally wouldn't stay idle. He also started to carve.
The difference between an experienced and an inexperienced person was much greater than the difference between an academic person and an unorthodox person. It was just like Yuan Zhou and Yang Shuxin.
Yang Shuxin started to consider the overall shape while Yuan Zhou directly started to carve the dragons one by one.
The kitchen knife in his hand was like a glittering silver butterfly flapping its wings in the air. After a few flaps, a long dragon body took shape.
Both sides were progressing well, especially Yang Shuxin's. His beginning was even better than before.
"Teacher might be able to complete the Nine Dragon Sculpture alone this time." Xiao Feng was looking forward to it.
"But, but, what is Teacher Yuan carving?" Xiao Feng looked at Yuan Zhou's ice block and felt that he couldn't understand it. If it was said that there was still the shape of a dragon's body before, then now, the dragon's body seemed to have been cut off.
Although the Nine Dragon Sculpture could take on all kinds of dragon forms, a broken dragon was out of the question. That would be too unlucky.
Although Xiaofeng was Yang Shuxin's assistant in name, he had learned from Yang Shuxin for many years. However, he had never seen such a carving method.
It was really a mystery.
As time passed, the crowd quietened down, but the number of people did not decrease. Instead, it seemed to be increasing.
Some of the onlookers left, but more joined in. Just like that brat, he didn't get anything good the last time. In addition, because of the strict management of the Education Bureau, the teachers assigned less homework, resulting in a decrease in the turnover of homework, and the secondary market was on the verge of collapse.
Today was a competition. They could record a long video and then release it one episode after another. In this way, they could earn tips.
"Teacher, the reduction of homework means the distribution market and the decrease in demand. Therefore, we must film it well this time. After I withdraw the tips, I will open up the market for the first and third years of middle school. Using the punishment of copying that doesn't require brains as the foundation, I will open up the third market. In this way, there won't be any resource stagnation. I can simulate and build a system that completely avoids the Net." The brat muttered some professional terms to himself excitedly.
While the onlookers were watching and filming, one hour passed. The ice blocks on both sides had already presented the quality of a work of art.
First, it was Yang Shuxin's side. The nine dragon bodies had all appeared in front of the crowd. Moreover, the dragon scales on four of the dragon bodies had been carved. The progress was really gratifying.
"Shuxin has really shown all his skills today." Grandpa Gu couldn't help sighing with emotion.
Grandpa Yan nodded his head, "Flying Dragon, Rising Dragon, Soaring Dragon, Coiling Dragon, Curling Dragon, Crouching Dragon, Fighting Dragon, Soaring Dragon, and finally, the River Turning Dragon. None of the nine types of dragons is the same. Such a Nine Dragon Sculpture is really valuable."
Judging from the dragon shapes carved by Yang Shuxin alone, they were simply very eye-catching. As mentioned before, there were only five types of dragons and the rest were all derivatives.
For example, the River Turning Dragon had a river below it, its tail was hidden in the river, and its head was dancing in the air. This was actually the combination of Rising Dragon and Soaring Dragon.
It was not easy to sculpt the Nine Dragon Sculpture, let alone nine different types of dragons. Currently, Yang Shuxin's Nine Dragon Sculpture had a river below it, the sky above it, and the Dragon Coiling Mountain. The content was really rich but not messy.
"As for Boss Yuan, it's not hard for me to understand," Grandpa Yan said. "But I have to say that the dragon head is really good. To be able to sculpt such an uncanny dragon head with a kitchen knife, it's really a real skill."
As an inexperienced and unorthodox person, Yuan Zhou started to sculpt the dragon head after he had sculpted "half" of the dragon body.
In legends, dragons were divided into many types, such as Winged Dragon, Winged Dragon, Coiling Dragon, and so on. But in fact, the dragons carved in the Nine Dragon Sculpture were all walking dragons. As the saying went, a fish turned into a flood dragon after a thousand years, a flood dragon turned into a dragon after a thousand years, and a dragon turned into a walking dragon after a thousand years.
Neither Yuan Zhou nor Yang Shuxin would make a fuss about the types of dragons. Therefore, it was also a difficult task to carve out the differences of the nine dragons.
The method Yang Shuxin used was very common, which could be used in almost all the Dragon Sculptures. He distinguished the dragons by their eyes, horns, size, and so on. For example, the double dragons on the Chinese Clock in the Forbidden City had different eyes and sizes.
As for Yuan Zhou, when he was thinking about it yesterday, he felt that if he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be able to see the differences. Therefore, Yuan Zhou decided to use another method.
That was the emotions — joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, worry, grief, fear, and alarm.
Nine kinds of emotions. That's right. In Yuan Zhou's nine dragons, no matter the dragon eyes or anything else, they were all the same. The only difference was the emotions of the dragons.
People's common dragons were dignified and didn't have any other emotions. But in Yuan Zhou's Nine Dragon Sculpture, he wanted to add emotions to the dragon eyes.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou's Nine Dragon Sculpture could be said to be the Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon, or more accurately, the "One Dragon in the Cloud Transforming into Nine Bodies."
Therefore, Old Yan, Old Gu, and the other onlookers couldn't see it clearly because of the distance. But in fact, if they looked closely, they could see that the emotions of the three dragon heads could be seen.
For example, the dragon in the middle had its eyebrow bone particularly prominent, its eyes big and spirited, its teeth slightly open, and its whiskers moving without any wind. This was the dragon's anger.
Next, the dragon's mouth slightly widened was Long Le.
It had to be said that the nine kinds of emotions of the dragons were imaginary and composed of some animals. No one had seen them before, nor could they imagine what a dragon would look like when it smiled.
The disadvantage was that they had to imagine everything by themselves without any reference. There were two sides to a coin.
Since no one could imagine it, it meant that Yuan Zhou could freely express it and create it by himself.
Nine forms. Anyway, last night, Yuan Zhou stayed up all night to watch Animal World, which was rare for him!
In short, in order to fight with Yang Shuxin today, Yuan Zhou had used all his strength.
