"This is the first person you should pay attention to!"
Chen Wuji took out the first document, which had a photo and name, as well as a resume and characteristics introduction, which was very detailed.[]
"Zhou Hua?"
Li Yang was slightly surprised when he saw this information. He didn't expect that the first thing Chen Wuji brought out was Zhou Hua's information, a person he had just met.
"Yes, that's him!"
The old man had a rare serious expression on his face. He glanced at the content of the information and said softly: "Although Zhou Hua is young, his strength cannot be underestimated. The Zhou imitation he made before has reached the level of a top master.
I have found a piece of work he made recently, and he indeed has the corresponding level, a top master, even you have not reached it!"
After Chen Wuji finished speaking, he looked at Li Yang.
Li Yang nodded silently. He understood Zhou Hua's level. If it weren't for Zhou Hua's bad reputation, his current works would definitely be sought after by the world. Zhou Hua's level is indeed comparable to that of Chen Wuji and Hong Lao.
People are compared.
"But you don't have to worry. Zhou Hua has a high level and may get a good ranking, but he will definitely not be the champion this time!"
Chen Wuji said something again with a smile, and Li Yang suddenly raised his head and understood immediately.
After all, Zhou Hua has made high imitations and has made mistakes. Although he has strength, he has stains. This is the first National Masters Tournament. The meaning of the championship is very important. Naturally, it is impossible for a stained person to win the championship.
After thinking about it, Li Yang sighed and said, "I know it's all Zhou Fang's fault!"
Chen Wuji looked at Li Yang, smiled and said: "Not necessarily. This competition may be more difficult than I thought before. Even if it is compared to the real level, Zhou Hua is not the highest!"
"Not the highest?"
Li Yang's brows knitted together unnaturally. He suddenly looked at Chen Wuji and asked anxiously: "You mean, there are still people who have reached the level of a top master?"
Zhou Hua is already a top master. If someone is stronger than him, he must have the same strength, so Li Yang asked this question.
"Yes, according to my investigation, Mr. Qi's son Qi Haitian has also reached this level, but it has never been announced to the public before!"
"Wada Qi Lao!"
Li Yang raised his head and looked at Chen Wuji. He had seen Mr. Qi before. He was one of the four top jade carving masters who was as famous as Chen Wuji. He was the Taishan Beidou of Hotan jade carving industry.
Hotan has Hotan jade and is rich in resources. It is easier for jade carvers there to train and exert their talents. Northwest jade carving has always been centered on Hotan.
"Qi Haitian is a genius. If he hadn't been in Hotan all the time and rarely went out, his name would have been spread long ago!"
Chen Wuji sighed softly, Qi Haitian is the son of Mr. Qi, and he is also the pride of Mr. Qi. His level was not low before, but it was only about the same as Huang Hao and others.
Last year, Chen Wuji made a breakthrough and became a grandmaster. This was a prosperous time for the jade carving industry, but it also stimulated many people.
Qi Haitian is one of them. After seeing Chen Wuji's successful example, he studied harder and trained himself in various impossible circumstances.
For example, he once took his tools to carve at the windiest place on the top of the mountain, and he also worked wholeheartedly on the work he wanted in the center of the busiest downtown area.
He even trained himself in a relatively fast-flowing river, and his hard work paid off. His methods may seem a bit weird, but in the end they really led to a successful breakthrough.
His strength has truly reached the level of a top master, and his works can already be compared with his father at his peak.
"No wonder, why do so many people say that the North can beat the South?"
"With Qi Haitian, the North has a great chance of winning the championship, and he is also one of your biggest opponents!"
Chen Wuji smiled and handed Qi Haitian's information to Li Yang.
"One? You mean, there are people who have reached the level of top masters?"
Li Yang suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Wuji in shock. The presence of Zhou Hua and Qi Haitian had put a lot of pressure on him. Li Yang understood his own strength. He had not yet reached the level of a top master who could do whatever he wanted.
They are still one step away.
Chen Wuji nodded: "We old guys have been practicing swordsmanship for so many years. It's not an accident that a few top masters come out again. It's okay to have one more. But I'm not completely sure about this. I'm just basing my guess on the clues.
My guess is that Lao Hong did a good job keeping secrets, and I suspect Huang Hao also broke through!"
"Huang Hao!"
Li Yang looked at Chen Wuji blankly, but he didn't expect that he was an acquaintance again.
"Yes, that's him. Huang Hao himself is very talented. He was a consecutive champion of the Twin Cities Masters. In the past few months, he suddenly stopped taking jobs and no works were released. I suspect that he has made a breakthrough.
, deliberately hiding his strength just for this Masters Tournament!"
"Just because you didn't take the job doesn't mean you must have made a breakthrough, right?"
Li Yang hesitated a little. What Chen Wuji said now was just speculation, and this speculation seemed to be forced.
"It's just these, of course it cannot represent. I have been in contact with Lao Hong in the past few months. Every time Lao Hong calls, he will be a little proud. I also met him a few days ago. He and Lao Qi, Lao Hong
Song blew his nose and stared, saying that it was Suzhou that won this time!"
Chen Wuji didn't say anything further, but Li Yang already understood what he meant.
Huang Hao suddenly stopped working, and Mr. Hong was so happy and confident, so the possibility of Huang Hao making a breakthrough on his own was really high. Although Mr. Hong kept it secret, he could not control his emotions.
These old people have been engaged in crafts all their lives, and they are very straight-tempered. In addition, as they get older, the older they are, the more they tend to have a childlike personality, and it is completely normal to show some emotions that they shouldn't have.
"Whether he has a breakthrough or not, he is still a strong enemy of yours!"
Chen Wuji said again, Li Yang nodded and looked at Huang Hao's information carefully.
He has known Huang Hao for a long time, but he doesn't know much about Huang Hao's style. This information can just supplement this.
"These three people are your biggest opponents this time. Li Yang, your strength is a little worse than them, but you also have your advantages. This time, you must use all your advantages. This is the only way.
, only then can we hope to get the best ranking!”
"Master, I understand, don't worry I will work hard!"
Li Yang nodded and continued to read the information carefully.
Chen Wuji looked at Li Yang, nodded with a smile, and walked out slowly, leaving a quiet space for Li Yang.
At this moment, Li Yang did feel a lot of pressure.
Before, he had always thought that only Zhou Hua was the top master. He did not expect that there would be so many, two confirmed top masters and one unconfirmed, which meant that he had three biggest competitors.
The pressure was great, but it did not make Li Yang despair. On the contrary, Li Yang felt a fighting spirit in his heart.
Li Yang's strength is indeed a little behind compared to them, but this point is not irreparable.
Li Yang also has his own advantages. His biggest advantage is in swordsmanship. Now he has become extremely proficient in using the Wukun sword and has fully understood the sword carving method. Not only that, he also mastered Lu Zigang's sword carving method and
Chen Wuji combined his carving skills to create his own jade carving skills.
It is creation, not learning. In the past six months, by chance, Li Yang created his own jade carving method, which Chen Wuji once praised lavishly.
Things you create yourself are easier and more natural to use than things you learn.
After creating his own jade carving method, Chen Wuji concluded that Li Yang would definitely be able to achieve his previous glory, which meant that there would be no problem in becoming a top master.
Chen Wuji himself was like this back then. A few years after he invented his own knife-carving technique, he was promoted to the top master.
What Li Yang lacks now is time.
The jade carving method he created himself is Li Yang's biggest advantage. Another advantage is the raw materials.
Black and white are rare and rare for hundreds of years. Unlike other top-grade jadeite, at least one or two pieces can be found every few years. Real jade can be found by master carvers as long as they are willing and work hard.
Black and white are impermanent, which is a rare thing for any jade carver.
The impermanence of black and white in Li Yang's piece of glass is his second advantage. His advantage in raw materials, combined with his own jade carving method, is enough to make up for the slight gap between him and the top masters.
But the final result depends on the last day of competition.
These advantages that Li Yang possesses can only be said to be advantages that others do not have. There is no absolute. There is no strict judgment on the jade carving itself. The final result depends on all the judges on that day.
"Mr. Chen, you are so leisurely. Is Li Yang here?"
Li Yang was looking at the information when a cheerful voice suddenly came from outside. This voice woke up Li Yang.
"Old Song, why are you here again?"
Chen Wuji was swaying and reading in the yard when he suddenly raised his head and frowned at an old man in front of him.
Li Yang, who was in the room, heard the voice and came out. This old man was no stranger to him. He was once as famous as Chen Wuji, the leader of the Northern Jade Carvings, Mr. Song.
"Li Yang, you run really fast. I wasn't in the hotel when you came!"
When Mr. Song saw Li Yang, he immediately walked over with a smile. Chen Wuji swayed and stopped him.
"I said, Lao Chen, why are you blocking me?"
Mr. Song raised his head and shouted angrily. The anger on Chen Wuji's face was even greater than his.
"Blocking you? Of course I have to block you. If you don't stay in the hotel and wait peacefully to be a judge, what are you doing here?"
Chen Wuji shouted loudly. He knew the purpose of Mr. Song's visit very well. It was precisely because he knew it that he was so angry and blocked him from going in.
