Chapter 443: Chapter 421 Perfect Illustration_1

From the moment Chu Kuang started challenging nine renowned writers one after the other, his tribe’s activities had drawn an extraordinary amount of attention from netizens. So when everyone saw Chu Kuang update his status again, the whole internet went wild!

“Holy shit!”

“Who else?”

“He’s so arrogant!”

“Are nine not enough?”

“He’s not even acting like a human anymore!”

Nobody expected that after already challenging nine, Chu Kuang still wasn’t satisfied. He dared to provoke so brazenly under the watchful eyes of countless people, showing utter disregard for the nine renowned fairytale writers!

“I can’t tolerate this!”

“I’m going to kill him!”

“Bring it on!”

The Yan People were still discussing Chu Kuang’s one-against-nine challenge. They were already angry and seeing Chu Kuang adding fuel to the fire made them seethe even more. We Yan People, in all of our existence, have never seen anyone this audacious!

We’ve had enough!

All of us have had enough!

These mere three words drove the fairytale writers from the Yan territory to the edge of explosion. It has always been us, the Yan People, who provoked others. Since when has anyone dared to challenge us, the Yan People?

Are you Chu Kuang?

Are you Yan Kuang?

Do you want to challenge ten now?

The other writers from the Yan Territory who did not challenge Chu Kuang, but instead chose other opponents, were also incensed and even contemplated canceling their literary duels with the other fairytale writers to team up and defeat Chu Kuang first!

In the face of Chu Kuang’s provocation!

The Yan People are united!

But ultimately, this didn’t happen. Some Yan People scorned, “If more people challenge Chu Kuang, that’s exactly what he wants. He’s just trying to grab attention. Given his abilities, there wouldn’t be so many renowned writers challenging him unless there were some special reasons.”

Exactly.

Seeking attention.

This is the conclusion that many Yan People have drawn based on Chu Kuang’s behavior. They believe that just like the nine renowned writers challenging Chu Kuang in a literary duel, it’s all about getting attention for their own work, not about recognizing Chu Kuang’s abilities: “Chu Kuang knows he can’t win, so he’s going all out. The more people challenge him, the more important he seems.”

This Qin person is really crafty!

But there’s no place for craftiness in the face of absolute strength! Challenging nine at once is most likely to result in nine defeats, and then Chu Kuang will have to pay for his arrogance and conceit!

So, the Yan People have endured!

Although they’re unhappy, they endured. This made the Yan People even more resentful. When have they ever suffered like this? These Yan People couldn’t wait for the literary duels to start immediately, to vent out the frustration in their hearts!

On the Qin-Chu side.

Many people gradually came back to their senses. Then they and the Yan People had similar thoughts. Perhaps Chu Kuang wasn’t planning to win at all. You Yan People wanted popularity, Chu Kuang simply took that popularity for himself. Forget about winning or losing for now, having the courage to challenge nine is enough!

“The Yan People must be fuming.”

“Chu Kuang’s move was incredibly slick.”

“Although we all know that Chu Kuang can’t challenge nine at once, maybe not even two, the Qin-Chu netizens feel awesome when they see him accept all literary duel challenges. If you guys want to step over me, Chu Kuang, and rise to the top, then I’ll simply take this opportunity to make myself the hottest topic.”

“Such an impressive strategy!”

“Unless Chu Kuang doesn’t win a single round, if he manages to beat at least one opponent, this wouldn’t be too much of a disgrace. The Yan People, on the other hand, have nothing to be proud of if they beat Chu Kuang, because he’s split into nine and fighting them all simultaneously. They’re supposed to win, right?”

Indeed.

This is the only explanation for Chu Kuang’s audacity. Inside and outside the Qin-Chu-Yan circle, nobody believes that Chu Kuang can really go one against nine. The current astonishment comes only from Chu Kuang’s earth-shattering one-against-nine act!

…

As Chu Kuang’s one-against-nine act attracted all the outside attention, Silver Blue Books officially announced a piece of news riding on this momentum: “Master Chu Kuang’s new work will be published as a fairytale collection on January 31st. Please look for the book titled ‘Fairytales of Chu Kuang’ in bookstores. Moreover, all the works from Master Chu Kuang’s literary duels with the nine fairytale writers will be included!”

This official announcement was quite interesting.

Silver Blue Books actually tagged all nine of the fairytale writers participating in the literary duels with their official account, even providing nine colored pictures below.

Shh!

When everyone saw these nine colored pictures, they instinctively held their breaths, their eyes glued to them!

A visual feast!

The first picture was of a beautiful girl, dirty and working in a house, her beauty evident despite the dirt on her face;

The second was a cute little girl in a red hat, hopping and jumping around;

The third was a king wearing a crown, scantily clad in nothing but underwear; ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The fourth was a lonely duck swimming amidst a flock of swans;

The fifth was a beautiful woman, enchanting and enticing, asleep in a crystal coffin;

The sixth was an ugly frog wearing a crown, sitting on the hand of a young girl in a long skirt;

The seventh was a woman so beautiful and lovable at first glance, floating on the sea without legs, but a phosphorescent fish body;

The eighth was a girl lighting a matchstick in the dark night;

The ninth was a fisherman couple fishing a beautiful goldfish from the sea!

All nine pictures corresponded to the nine fairytales participating in the literary duel!

Beauty at its peak!

Explosive art style!

All of these nine pictures could independently be used as phone or computer wallpapers. They were so exquisite they looked like pieces of art. Everyone who saw these pictures instinctively clicked to save them. It was an undiluted visual feast!

“Such beautiful art!”

“Are these the illustrations in ‘Fairytales of Chu Kuang’? My God, who is this heavenly illustrator? I want to buy the book just for these nine illustrations. The woman in the crystal coffin is so beautiful!”

“I’ll buy these illustrations!”

“Is that a mermaid on the sea?”

“Each painting is breathlessly beautiful!”

“The little girl with the red hat is so cute!”

“I want to read the fairytale about the little girl in the red hat!”

“Such a gorgeous and exquisite painting style. I’ve never seen such beautiful illustrations in all the novels I’ve read. Particularly, the girl in the crystal coffin is so beautiful that it leaves one intoxicated!”

“These illustrations are phenomenal!”

“Whose masterpiece is this?”

“Oh my, look closely, guys. There’s a copyright watermark on the bottom-right corner of the picture. As expected, only he could create such perfect illustrations!”

Indeed.

There’s a small watermark in the lower-right corner of the picture, something a lot of pictures have. This represents the copyright and the watermark astonishingly comes from…

Shadow!

This was another collaboration between Chu Kuang and Shadow after “King of the Net”, and it was an upgraded version because Shadow brought out his best drawing skills!

Exactly.

The illustrations were drawn by Lin Yuan under the alias Shadow. If he wanted the “Fairytales of Chu Kuang” to sell better, he had to take care of everything, including the illustrations. Since he now had master-level drawing skills, why not? But this collaboration was not just between Chu Kuang and Shadow —

Xian Yu was also involved!
