Chapter 203 Calligraphy Master, Feature: Picking up Words
When picking up the pen to write, Mu Lin still had some faint expectations.
"When I reached the master level of painting, I gained the ability of the true painter. I wonder what characteristics I will gain when I reach the master level of calligraphy?"
"Well... this characteristic should be stronger. After all, the upper limit of calligraphy proficiency is higher than that of painting."
Mu Lin wrote while thinking.
As each character was written, Mu Lin's calligraphy experience continued to rise.
8093/8100, 8094, 8095...
Time passed slowly as Mu Lin wrote.
While Mu Lin was practicing calligraphy, the pressure on the head of Yuhu Taoist Academy was increasing.
Too many people asked him to reconcile with Mu Lin.
However, he was still a little unwilling at this time, and he had a trump card.
And that trump card was undoubtedly Xue Ying, the first in Yuhu Taoist Academy, who could be upgraded through killing.
His cultivation in the Spiritual Sea Realm crushed the entire Southeast Province.
Unfortunately, powerful geniuses all have their own personalities, and Xue Ying is an exception among the exceptions.
The rest, whether it was Mu Lin or Chu Hongxuan, were all geniuses, but they had not grown up yet and their future was uncertain. Therefore, they had to give face to the headmaster of Yuhu Taoist Academy.
But Xueying was different. With the ancestral artifact, she was bound to become a strong person, so she didn't need to give face to the headmaster of Yuhu Taoist Academy.
When the headmaster of Yuhu Taoist Academy asked her to take action, she said directly.
"I'm not interested, and I don't have time to play house with children."
Playing house, this is how Xueying evaluated this assessment. Because of her low interest, she didn't even kill monsters at the beginning of the assessment... The monsters in Yuncheng were all phantoms created by the Sky Illusion Tower. After killing, Xueying could not gain power.
This kind of nothingness made Xueying unable to arouse her fighting spirit, and she was unwilling to use her magic blade.
So, after entering the Sky Illusion Tower, she directly found a place and closed her eyes to practice sword meditation.
Now, the blood moon is full, and the demons are roaring, which has slightly increased Xueying's fighting spirit.
…
Xueying was unwilling to take action, which made the headmaster of Yuhu Taoist Academy completely helpless.
In desperation, he could only ask the deputy headmaster to contact... Yanyunyu, and through her, to reach a deal with Mu Lin.
If he did not go directly, the headmaster still had to save face. If he contacted Yanyunyu, he would talk to Mu Lin directly, which would easily lead to a breakdown. With a middleman, even if the talks broke down, there would be room for recovery.
The sudden words that came into his ears made Yanyunyu smile.
‘I knew that Yuhu Taoist Academy would have a back-up plan for the college assessment, and I bet right.’
With her eyes shining, she immediately negotiated interests with the deputy headmaster of Yuhu Taoist Academy without giving in.
While the two were talking secretly, Mu Lin's calligraphy skills also reached the last step.
Fourth Realm Master: 8100/8100.
“Buzz!”
As the skills were perfected, Mu Lin also understood what to do next.
Subconsciously, he wrote again.
While he was writing, countless insights and inspirations also poured into Mu Lin's heart.
These insights made Mu Lin know that words are not just words, but also the key to cultural and even civilization inheritance.
"...Words are tools for human communication and exchange. With them, humans can clearly express their ideas and intentions..."
"...Words are the medium of cultural inheritance. It allows humans to pass on their culture, customs, values, etc. to future generations, ensuring the continuity and development of culture..."
The importance of words is unparalleled. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the cornerstone of human civilization.
"Unfortunately, I am not creating words that will shock ghosts and gods now, but I have only promoted calligraphy to a master. Although I have realized the true meaning of words, I have only realized some superficial things."
What makes Mu Lin happy is that even if it is just superficial things, he still has a huge harvest.
One of the harvests is that his calligraphy will be more beautiful and beautiful in the future, and other people can also understand his intentions through his words.
This characteristic makes his calligraphy extremely valuable and has a great help in drawing talismans.
Of course, such harvests are only secondary.
This is an extraordinary world, where the mind has power, the soul has power, even the image and name have power, and naturally, words also have power.
And as the cornerstone of civilization, the power of words is extremely noble.
At this moment, after calligraphy reached the master level, Mu Lin gained a glimpse of the power of words.
Under the constraints of the proficiency panel, this strand of power turned into a characteristic... Mu Lin can pick up a word, the root word.
"The so-called picking up is to thoroughly analyze a word, understand its meaning, and clarify everything about it... Well, thoroughly analyzing and understanding everything is a bit exaggerated. Due to the limitations of the realm, I can only try my best to understand its roots."
Such a characteristic seems not as good as the finishing touch obtained after painting reached the master level, which made Mu Lin a true painter.
But Mu Lin would not think so.
He remembered a myth.
"Nine nights hanging on a windswept tree."
"Wounded by a spear; I was offered as a sacrifice to Odin."
"I sacrificed myself, on a tree no one knew about!"
"No bread to satisfy hunger, no water to quench thirst."
"I looked down and picked up the runes."
"I fell from the tree while picking them up and shouting."
This is about Odin, the main god of the Nordic world, who obtained the Rune.
Such a great god hung upside down in the world for nine days and nine nights before he obtained the Rune.
In fact, Mu Lin always felt that Odin, who obtained the Rune, could subdue the gods and become the Nordic God King.
From here, we can see the power of picking up words. That is to obtain all the words, that is, to control everything and become the terrifying power of the God King.
"Unfortunately, in Norse mythology, the world tree is the foundation of everything. Odin sacrificed himself and hung upside down on the world tree, and obtained almost all the text secrets of the world tree. His Rune is also very comprehensive, but I only reached the master through calligraphy and comprehended a wisp of the power of words."
"The gap between us is too big, so big that it cannot be calculated."
The gap between the two is not only that Odin can pick up all the words, but Mu Lin can only pick up one, but also reflected in the fact that the words he can pick up are extremely limited.
After knowing that he can pick up words, the first thing Mu Lin wanted to pick up was "wisdom".
Although wisdom cannot significantly increase strength, it can increase Mu Lin's upper limit.
Unfortunately, Mu Lin cannot pick up the words related to wisdom.
The words he can pick up are limited by his own experience, knowledge, and knowledge.
"The words I can pick up now include thunder, which is brought by absorbing the power of thunder and condensing the heart of thunder."
"Shedding, black snake turns into a dragon, the dragon has nine sheds, and I really shed three times. Such experience allows me to pick up the word "shedding."
"Blood can also be picked up. Looking directly at the blood moon, I gained the knowledge of the blood moon, which is all about blood."
"Paper and people can also be picked up..."
"Heart, soul, and intention can also be picked up barely, but God... No, this can't be picked up."
"Creation... can't be picked up either..."
After thinking for a while, Mu Lin found that there were quite a few words he could pick up, but there were also many that he couldn't pick up.
At this moment, Mu Lin was thinking about which word he should pick up.
