Suddenly, Li Qingshan pointed at the picture album on the table. The pages flipped rapidly with a flurry, and the story passed by in a hurry. Suddenly, he stopped at the last picture. <

He could only try this!
He did not want to use Ma Liang as a medium. He wanted to use his Power of Will to summon this picture!
That would be the end of this fairy tale …
Ma Liang was captured and brought to the palace. The emperor wanted him to draw a money tree. Ma Liang raised his hand and drew a sea. The emperor was very unhappy when he saw this. He scolded, "I asked you to draw a money tree, who asked you to draw a sea?!" Ma Liang then drew a small island in the sea. He drew a tall and big tree on the island. "Isn't this a money tree?"
The emperor immediately became happy. "Hurry up and draw a boat! I want to go to the sea and earn money! " Ma Liang drew a very big wooden boat. The emperor then brought the empress, the crown prince, the princess, and many ministers and generals onto the boat. Ma Liang drew a few more strokes of wind, and the boat started to move.
The emperor felt that the boat was moving too slowly, so he shouted at the bow of the boat, "Stronger wind! Stronger wind! "Ma Liang added a few more strokes of wind, and the wooden boat quickly moved towards the center of the sea. Ma Liang added a few more strokes of wind, and the sea roared, rolling up waves, and the boat swayed. The emperor was scared. He shouted at Ma Liang, "Enough wind, enough wind!" Ma Liang pretended not to hear him and continued to draw the wind. The sea was angry, and the waves hit the boat.
The boat tilted, and the boat was in chaos. The emperor hugged the mast of the boat and shouted, "The wind is too strong! The boat is going to capsize! Stop drawing! " Ma Liang ignored him and continued to draw the wind. The wind became stronger, and many thick dark clouds were blown over. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. There was a heavy rain, and the sea was like a collapsing wall, crashing towards the boat …
Han Qiongzhi could not bear to watch anymore. She was worried that Li Qingshan would not be able to bear the blow of failure. She thought about how to comfort him later without hurting his pride. After all, he was so proud. She gave him such a thing. He would definitely be happy. At most, she would let him fulfill his wish a few days ago.
She suddenly heard the sound of waves. This place was very far from the lakeside, so how could there be the sound of waves? Then, there was a salty smell. When the smell entered her nose, she abruptly raised her head.
A huge wave like a high wall stood in front of Li Qingshan.
"Boundless Ocean!"
Li Qingshan pushed his hand forward. The huge wave toppled over and swept towards the blazing inferno, forcibly pushing the hellfire back into the field.
The tongues of fire and the waves wanted to collide, turning into a wisp of steam. However, at the same time, there was even more water and fire. They surged forward.
They collided fiercely on the long dividing line. Steam billowed and rose like smoke signals, forming a white wall of fog. Then, because of the disappearance of the Power of Vow, it dispersed. <

With a sizzling sound. Water extinguishes fire, and fire evaporates water. This was a battle between water and fire.
But soon, the giant wave ran out of momentum and was evaporated by the flames. The suppressed flames surged forward once more, but they were immediately swatted down by a second wave.
Chu Danqing's face became bright red from the light of the flames. It was slightly twisted, and even his eyes flickered with red light. He was close to going insane. He constantly used the Hell Endowment, and even more hellfire surged out. He shouldered his master's expectations, the painter's hopes, and the wife in the painting in name. He could not lose this battle, he definitely could not!
Li Qingshan had already stopped caring about the consumption of the Power of Vow. He conjured huge waves. Cloudwisp Island was a good place, so how could he just give it away to someone else? If he lost, he would lose all the Power of Vow he had used up. Moreover, he smiled. He could not lose face in front of his future wife and father-in-law.
The circular Great Martial Arts Practice Field was divided into two parts, scarlet red and bright blue. It was a twisted boundary between the hell of fire and the ocean of water. It constantly advanced and retreated, locked in an intense stalemate.
The crackling of fire and the roaring of water were deafening.
Everyone was stunned by this earth-shaking confrontation of techniques. Originally, they thought that they would no longer be surprised by a battle between Qi Practitioners after witnessing the battle between Li Qingshan and Chu Tian.
When Chu Tian and Li Qingshan fought, they only occasionally displayed the abilities of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Now, Li Qingshan and Chu Danqing's abilities had completely surpassed the level of Qi Practitioners. They basically seemed no different from Foundation Establishment cultivators.
So be it the painter, but what Li Qingshan displayed was truly the power of the school of Novels that they had been mocking for a very long time. Meanwhile, Li Qingshan was only at the seventh layer of Qi Practitioner. Had they underestimated the school of Novels all this time?
Chu Shidao furrowed his brows as he stared at Chu Danqing's back worriedly. He had never thought that Li Qingshan would actually possess such strength. He had some understanding of the abilities of the school of Novels as well. They should have been restricted by the Divine Talisman of Great Creation. Under these circumstances, it was clearly because there were many people who firmly believed in his books. How was it possible for them to achieve this in just half a year?
Liu Chuanfeng stopped cheering. He stood on the platform with his mouth wide open and his hands raised high. He seemed like a frozen statue. His entire body tensed up, as if he was the one pushing the giant waves.
Sun Fubai watched this scene greedily. His face was filled with both joy and sorrow. Yes, this was the power of the school of Novels that his master had described to them. He had doubted it in the past as well, but now, Li Qingshan had proven it to them. He had proven it to everyone.
The school of Novels was not trash. The heavens had given this child to the school of Novels.
Han Qiongzhi clenched her fists and stared at Li Qingshan in an infatuated manner. She was tempted to tell everyone that this was her man. Of course, in reality, everyone already knew.
Wang Pushi shook his head. This kid sure was full of surprises! It had only been a year since he joined the Hundred Schools. If he had time to develop, just how far could he go? The Han family had found a good son-in-law. He would definitely be a great general in the future.
However, while Han Anjun rejoiced, he also felt a hint of worry. Soon afterwards, he relaxed. She would have to slowly experience this great life on her own.
Juechenzi looked at the slovenly daoist priest who was pouring wine into his mouth. He smiled. "Master, you're regretting it again."
The slovenly daoist priest roared, "Who's regretting it? Who's regretting it?!" He could not help but admit that he was slightly regretful. He could even use the techniques of the school of Novels to such an extent. If he had used the techniques of the school of Daoism, wouldn't it have been even more powerful? Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have been a little more polite to this kid. I've cursed plenty of disciples before. You're the only fucking one who dares to throw a tantrum at me!
At this moment, the light from the Infernal Bestowment gradually dimmed. No matter how much painstaking effort he poured into a painting, its power would not be endless.
Although the water Li Qingshan conjured was only regular water, slightly inferior to fire, Li Qingshan was still able to conjure up water. However, the five elements countered one another. It was extremely easy for water to put out fire, but it would take a tremendous amount of energy for fire to evaporate someone.
Li Qingshan suddenly stirred up an even greater wave. I'll give up on the power of belief I've accumulated over half a year. Let's see just how long you can last!
Chu Danqing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He continued to use the Infernal Bestowment, and a thin crack appeared on the painting. However, he did not care. Even if he destroyed the painting, he had to last.
"Danqing, let's stop here!" Chu Shidao's voice rang out in Chu Danqing's head.
"But, master …"
"If we keep fighting, both sides will end up injured." Chu Shidao was someone who loved paintings. How could he bear to see the Infernal Bestowment that he had worked on for six months be destroyed just like that? On the other hand, Li Qingshan showed no signs of running out of power of belief. His chances of victory were close to zero.
Chu Danqing could not disobey his master's orders. He kicked over the table before him and put away the Infernal Bestowment reluctantly.
Li Qingshan immediately stopped using the Divine Talisman of Great Creation as well. It was not easy to accumulate power of belief. Every bit counted.
In a single moment, the water and fire vanished.
Everyone felt that it was unreal. If it were not for the clear traces of the two pieces of painting that had been burnt by fire and washed away by water, they basically would have suspected that everything Just Now was a dream.
The entire place fell silent. They looked at each other. Just who had won?
However, the patriarchs all saw it clearly. Liu Changqing cast a questioning gaze at Chu Shidao.
Chu Shidao raised his hand and walked over to Chu Danqing's side. He patted his shoulder comfortingly and said to Li Qingshan, "You won."
Li Qingshan clasped his hands. "Thank you for going easy."
However, Chu Danqing's eyes were red and his lips trembled. He seemed like he was about to cry. Why do I feel like I've become a great villain who bullies naive youths? It's just a competition. Is there a need for you to act like this?
Before this, Li Qingshan had been brimming with confidence, but he had also been prepared for failure. After all, nothing was absolute. Compared to the crushing defeats he had suffered in the past, a competition that did not even threaten his life was nothing. At worst, he would just have to move to another island to develop on. The school of Novels did not rely on 'land' very much. As long as he had a train of thought, was there any need to worry about not being able to develop?
Li Qingshan had climbed up from the very bottom. How could he understand this? Chu Danqing had studied painting for ten years, and he had never suffered any setbacks. He had lost in his first battle, so the difference was indeed difficult for him to accept. He had thought that he had only won a powerful painting. He had never thought that it would be Chu Danqing's wife.
Cheers rang out from the platform. Although the school of Novels did not have a great reputation, they were still much more amiable than foreign painters. After all, they had been cursing at them for so many years. Now, everyone recognised the power of the school of Novels.
They could actually conjure up figures that could use the abilities of painters to defeat them. This was just too unbelievable. Some of the new disciples even regretted not joining the school of Novels in the first place.
Under Liu Changqing's lead, Chu Shidao and Liu Chuanfeng arrived on the platform. Behind them were the primary disciples of their respective sects.
Chu Shidao offered up the Heavenly Maiden Scatters the Blossoms with both hands. "I've long heard that the school of Novels can conjure up all sorts of wonders. Now that I've seen it for myself, it really is true. No wonder you're one of the ten schools chosen by the Sacred Emperor."
"Your disciple, Li Qingshan, is even more outstanding. We wholeheartedly accept our loss in this battle. If we've offended you in any way in the past, please forgive us, patriarch Liu. This painting is something that I've painstakingly created, so treat it as my apology. Please treat her well."
