116 The Dragon Flies, the Phoenix Dances! (2)

“After this first realm, even if you master the essence of calligraphy, what you pursue next is not a certain type of font, but the meaning of the words.”

Liu Haikang’s expression changed and he looked at Ye Xuan in shock.

An eight-year-old child could actually speak so accurately and clearly. He was a powerful figure!

Liu Yanran seemed to be interested in Ye Xuan’s calligraphy teachings and asked, “What do you mean by ‘meaning’?”

“In other words, it means the intent of the calligraphy piece. It’s just like how many people will use cursive script when writing poems, but they will definitely use clerical script when writing official documents. This is because the content they want to express is different. Different words can also give people a different mental state. On the surface, it sounds like it’s the effect of calligraphy, but in the end, it’s still because of the person who wrote calligraphy.”

When one’s understanding of calligraphy reached the second realm, no matter what kind of calligraphy they used, they could make the audience feel different emotions through their understanding of intent.

Liu Haikang couldn’t help but clap. He looked at Ye Xuan expectantly. “Then what’s the third realm?”

Ye Xuan lowered his eyes. “The third realm is force! It’s also an upgrade from the second realm.”

The second realm of “meaning” referred to understanding the meaning of the words.

As for the third realm of “force”, it was the complete manifestation of the meaning after understanding the words.

This was also why the calligraphy of a real master could be felt at a glance. It was as if it was a real item that assaulted the senses.

The entire study instantly fell silent. It was so quiet that one could even hear everyone’s breathing.

The others heaved a sigh. They had just digested such a huge amount of information and were still in shock. They still needed time to slowly figure it out.

Just as everyone had their own thoughts, Ye Xuan had already picked up his brush and dipped it into the ink.

From the moment Ye Xuan picked up the brush, his aura underwent a shocking change.

Even though his height and appearance did not change, no one dared to underestimate him because he was too short.

The aura that was slowly emitted was like a sense of pressure, causing the surrounding people to not dare to breathe loudly.

It was too stylish!

These people, who originally did not think highly of Ye Xuan’s calligraphy, actually had a trace of anticipation in their hearts.

“When the young man was about 15 years old, he could surpass a warhorse on foot.”

“He killed a white-fronted tiger in the mountains. Cao Zhang cannot be considered the only hero!”

As he spoke, Ye Xuan started writing.

Boom!

In an instant, everyone looked at the calligraphy and their eyes widened. They simply could not believe what they were seeing. This calligraphy!

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that an eight-year-old child actually had extremely beautiful handwriting.

Ye Xuan’s wrist strength was very strong. Many times, it made the rest think that he was not holding a brush but a sharp sword.

These heavy strokes seemed to pierce through the thin rice paper.

Ye Xuan wrote very quickly. His movements looked very light, but every word he wrote seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The high-quality mahogany desk kept groaning as he wrote.

The rest subconsciously opened their mouths wide, as if the shock and impact in their hearts were too great and was spilling out.

“How did he do it? When Chairman Ye wrote about the white-fronted tiger, the image of the white-fronted tiger appeared in front of me. It walked towards me step by step.”

“Although I don’t know much about calligraphy, I can feel that the style and power in his calligraphy are even more powerful than those world-famous people!”

“Chairman Ye wrote this with his hand. If he personally participates in a few competitions, his name will soon appear in the history of calligraphy!”

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan continued to write as if he didn’t hear the praises.

“He traveled 1,500 kilometers in one go and controlled a million-strong army with a single sword.

“The Han soldiers were as fast as lightning. The captured cavalry were afraid of thistles.”

Every stroke was like a horse that had escaped its reins and soared into the sky.

At the same time, each stroke was like a flood dragon flying in the sky. it came from nothingness and returned to emptiness.

The impulse of this almost crazy and primitive vitality contained the spiritual qi of the world.

He displayed his strength without losing it, and displayed his figure without showing off. Furthermore, his handwriting was like flowing water.

It was floating like the clouds and was as agile as a dragon.

His calligraphy was dynamic and beautiful. It was unprecedented.

His calligraphy was truly outstanding.

If the first four lines of the poem could only give people a feeling of an image or a small moving picture.

Then, the moment Ye Xuan finished writing the next four lines, it was as if a movie had been played.

It was alive!

The scene of the battle on the battlefield was instantly displayed in front of everyone.

The blade and halberd in the armored warrior’s hand seemed to have arrived in front of them!

A drop of blood dripped down from the blade and landed on everyone’s foreheads…

It was warm and smelled of blood!

It suddenly woke everyone up and made them break out in a cold sweat.

Liu Haikang’s face turned pale. He felt that his worldview was shaking.

To him, a good calligraphy piece was like a two-dimensional picture.

The writer would write the meaning he wanted to express on paper and present it to the audience.

There were all kinds of details, actions, and so on. The audience would be able to see everything.

If there was an upgraded version of the best calligraphy pieces, it would definitely be like a small moving picture, making the entire scene lively.

The characters would have a personality.

The items would have their own spirits.

However, Ye Xuan used a big move in front of them.

After writing the eight lines, everyone felt as if they were on an ancient battlefield. They watched the generals fight and were covered in blood.

This was not a movie, nor was it a 4D movie with motion.

Instead, it was a completely immersive movie experience!

The opening was a kingly explosion.

“Is this the third realm of calligraphy? Is this what you meant by force?” Liu Haikang seemed to be talking to himself, yet seemed to be asking Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan nodded and gently put the brush back to its original place before saying, “I think this is the third realm in my understanding. The so-called display of aura is just a joke. I’ve only learned a little.”

A little?

The others subconsciously looked at each other.

Excessive modesty was a form of pride.

Even the current high-tech technology could not produce such an immersive viewing experience.

He used a simple calligraphy piece and gave them an experience. Yet, he said that he had only learned a little!

If this was considered learning a little, if one wanted to achieve a higher level or become a master, they would probably have to be in the four-dimensional world to understand.

Everyone spoke almost at the same time, confirming Ye Xuan’s strength.

“I’ve been immersed in calligraphy for many years. I can guarantee with my personality that Chairman Ye, your calligraphy skills are definitely at the level of a top master!”

“The scene just now was too intense and shocking! I don’t even imagine such a magnificent scene when I’m dreaming. I’ve really seen it today!”

“Brother Ye, you’re too humble! Today, even if the president of the various calligraphy associations were here, if anyone can find any fault with you, I can fight them on the spot!”

A thousand words were combined into one sentence. This represented their admiration.

They all knew calligraphy. They started from crooked strokes when they were young. After practicing for ten to twenty years, they could barely be presented to others.

However, this eight-year-old child in front of them had actually surpassed them by too much!

They would not be able to reach this realm even if they practiced for 800 years!

Liu Haikang put his palms together and bowed very sincerely to Ye Xuan. “Chairman Ye, your calligraphy is simply too awesome. I implore you to sell it to me. I’m willing to pay 20 million!”

Liu Haikang was simply too excited. He had never seen such good calligraphy.

To be honest, he had the mentality of showing off his calligraphy skills at the beginning.

Only now did he know how painful it was to be slapped like this.

Ye Xuan shook his head and said calmly, “Why are you talking about money? If Chairman Liu likes it, I can just leave it here.”

Liu Haikang nodded excitedly.

To be able to obtain such a piece of calligraphy, he felt that his life was worth it.

He was even thinking about how many people he would invite to his house to observe after he finished framing it up.

“Oh, right. Chairman Ye, do you have a seal? Please give me your signature!” Liu Haikang suddenly asked.

Ye Xuan grinned. “No, I’ll make one for myself later.”
