Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

Chapter 368 Sister Lan: I know a little about both [2 updates]

Chapter 368: 368 Sister Lan: I know a little about both [2 updates]The name left the judging panel teachers momentarily stunned.

They seemed to remember that not long before, at the International Painting Competition, the Yunjing Art Association received a very perfect painting.

This painting defeated all other entries, claiming first place with a landslide victory.

This also gave them hope that they could win top honors in this edition of the International Painting Competition, after all, for several years, the top ranks had been dominated by native contestants from the Global Center.

Even among these contestants from the Global Center, there were many whose mastery of traditional Chinese painting even exceeded that of the entrants from Shenzhou.

This also proved that when Shenzhou was nearly destroyed in the war of ten thousand armies three hundred years ago, a major part of the civilization truly did pass to the Global Center.

If it were not for those who continued to inherit the Shenzhou civilization without letting its roots truly sever, perhaps after a hundred years, the Global Center would completely replace Shenzhou’s position.

This is why, in recent years, Shenzhou has placed such importance on the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.

Culture and spirit are the roots; they must never be severed.

From ancient times to the present, there have been many ancient countries, but only Shenzhou has managed to stand firm to this day after enduring a war so devastating, thanks to its long-standing and profound cultural spirit.

Although the judges did not participate in the selection of the International Painting Competition, they obviously knew the name of the contestant.

Ye Wanlan.

Calligraphy is one with painting, but a person’s energy is limited and cannot develop multiple fields at the same time.

Yet Ye Wanlan’s calligraphy broke the judges’ understanding.

"Born in times of chaos, farewell amidst conquests," a judge murmured, reading the characters on the scroll, "Wishing prosperity to Shenzhou, in admiration of the Prince of Chu."

The very brief two lines nevertheless sent a jolt through one’s soul.

Another judge could not help but gasp for breath, "If it were not an entry, I would really think this is a genuine relic of Princess Yongning."

Nothing else aside, the calligraphy submitted by Ye Wanlan, from its form, style, and even the essence, was almost exactly the same as the genuine relic of Princess Yongning discovered yesterday – it was to the extent that it could be mistaken for the original.

For a high school student under twenty years old to have such strength was naturally shocking.

The chief judge let out a breath lightly, "This calligraphy cannot be achieved without several decades of foundation, but she has done it."

"Is there anything this Student Ye can’t do?" another judge exclaimed in admiration, "The person who took first place in the recent physics competition was her, right?"

A judge nodded, "Yes, it was her. Moreover, she’s also filming ’Treasures of The Divine Land’."

"..."

The entire panel of judges fell silent.

They exchanged looks; what kind of a monstrous genius had they encountered?!

The head judge nodded and said, "With this piece of calligraphy, the champion of the preliminary round is already decided. Notify Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School first."

Other contestants with reputations also participated many times, and the judges knew their strengths well.

Ye Wanlan’s piece of calligraphy could be described as a dimension-breaking attack, even giving the old folks in the art association a run for their money.

When the principal of No.7 Middle School received the notification, he had just leisurely returned to his office.

"What?" The No.7 Middle School principal jumped in surprise, "Isn’t there a month for the preliminary selection process? How come the result came out so quickly? Alright, alright, I’ll relay the message to Student Ye right away."

After the call ended, he immediately contacted Ye Wanlan.

She answered promptly, "Principal?"

"Student Ye, great news. You’ve passed the preliminaries of the calligraphy competition, and you don’t need to participate in the second round. You are directly recommended to the finals, and the judges are full of praise for your entry," the principal from No.7 Middle School said cheerfully, "The judges originally thought you wouldn’t need to attend the finals either, but they mainly want to see you write on the spot."

Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "I will be prepared."

"Alright, then go do your thing," the No.7 Middle School principal said, "I won’t disturb you any further. I have extended your leave; just make sure you come back for the college entrance exam."

Yunjing University had long extended an invitation to Ye Wanlan with her abilities.

Her choice to participate in the college entrance exam was part to avoid drawing too much attention and also to enhance Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School’s reputation.

"Don’t worry, principal," Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "I’ll certainly fulfill what I’ve promised you."

After the No.7 Middle School principal asked about her recent situation with concern, he then ended the call.

In front of Ye Wanlan was the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, who had hurried over from Yunjing.

"Miss Ye, although you rejected the highest merit medal last time, I have still managed to apply for it for you," said the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, "It’s not just an honor; it will also facilitate your future activities. You will have the highest authority to act and guide."

The discovery of the "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon" was not just a momentary shock to the entire historical archaeological community of Shenzhou.

Its impact would continue for a hundred years, even a thousand years.

Ye Wanlan pondered for a moment and then accepted, "Thank you very much."

"This isn’t just my decision alone. The re

[Pulling the Sky participating in the international fashion show at the Global Center really is a stroke of dumb luck.]

[Who are the opponents in this international show? Not to mention the three top luxury brands, even the current international first-line brands, Pulling the Sky can’t reach that level.]

[Otherwise, it might be better not to go, to avoid losing face, Shenzhou has been embarrassed enough.]
