I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot Chapter 589 - Calligraphy Cultivation, Smart Blackie

Chapter 589: Calligraphy Cultivation, Smart Blackie

On the stage.
Shi Tuqin and Shi Tuyu stood on opposite sides. They started to get serious.
Nobody expected the Young Sect Master Ceremony to end up like that.
It was too unexpected.
Shi Tuqin lost her Familiar Beast. Her cultivation was corrupted, so there was no way her powers were what they used to be. ‘How can she try to fight Shi Tuyu? She should’ve handed over the token of the young Sect Master. That would’ve been the wisest choice.’
‘Probably because she isn’t willing to.’
A lot of people made guesses.
Shi Tumingri was full of worry. He looked at Bai Chen and Qin Zhongshan and asked, “What are you guys hiding exactly?”
Qin Zhongshan waved it off. He said with a jealous tone, “Man, relax. I have to say, I’m so envious of you!”
Bai Chen also nodded. He sighed with jealousy and said, “Your daughter’s unimaginably powerful, especially with her luck. I’m so jealous I could cry.”
‘If I have a daughter like that, I would laugh in my sleep.’
‘Shi Tumingri’s not aware of it. When he knows, he’ll probably laugh like crazy.’
‘Sigh, so jealous…’
Shi Tuyu looked confident. He arrogantly looked at Shi Tuqin with extreme excitement.
He was always overshadowed by Shi Tuqin. He had a grudge against her for the longest time. He finally got the chance to defeat and humiliate Shi Tuqin in public. What was better than that?
He grinned because he could not contain his joy. He said, “Cousin, I know that you feel awful, but what’s done is done. You have to let go, or else you’ll end up with more injuries!”
Shi Tuqin said, “Tell me about it when you win.”
“Alright. Let’s begin then!”
Shi Tuyu could not wait. He activated his powers and his tsunami-like aura washed over Shi Tuqin!
Meanwhile, the Black Tiger next to him roared and spread his black wings. The Black Tiger turned to black lightning and bolted toward Shi Tuqin!
“So fast! How’s this possible?”
“The Black-Gold Flying Tiger’s famous for his speed, but he shouldn’t be that fast.”
“Did you guys hear that explosion just now? It’s obvious that his blood improved again!”
“Moves like thunder and quick like lightning, this must be the Black-Gold Storm Tiger! Amazing. No wonder he became the young Sect Master!”
“If the Sky Wing White Tiger’s still with Shi Tuqin, she might have a chance to win. But now…”
They knew the battle would probably end soon.
The Ministry studied cultivators and Demons with great results. The pills that they gave him contained the essence of a Storm Lion. The blood of the Black Tiger was improved along with his powers.
Shi Tuyu secretly grinned.
‘Injuries and casualties are unavoidable in a battle. So what if the Black-Gold Storm Tiger bit off a piece of Shi Tuqin’s flesh?’
He stared at her tiger paw. ‘The blood of the Sky Wing White Tiger would be incredibly useful for my Black Tiger!’
Suddenly, the tiger paw he was staring at moved.
She took out something.
At that moment, a sudden terror crept up. Shi Tuyu tensed up as if she took out a killer treasure.
The Black-Gold Storm Tiger also stopped the attack. He recoiled and flinched to the side in an alarmed state.
“Is that… A brush?”
Shi Tuyu was weirded out. He was confused. ‘Is that terrifying feeling… A delusion?’
“Why did Shi Tuqin take out a brush?”
“I heard that she was traumatized. She went to become a study servant, but taking out a brush now isn’t fitting for this occasion.”
Everyone furrowed their brows in confusion.
However, some of them with great senses stared at the brush.
“Wait a minute, her brush…is extraordinary!”
“I don’t care what brush you take out. You can’t distract me!”
Shi Tuyu regained his confidence. He thought that Shi Tuqin was trying to distract him. He sneered and tried to attack Shi Tuqin again.
The Black-Gold Storm Tiger did not attack her straight away. He flapped his wings, creating black lightning. The black lightning bolted toward Shi Tuqin!
The black lightning was like shards of glasses. They attacked Shi Tuqin with extreme speed!
Meanwhile, Shi Tuyu launched a fist attack towards Shi Tuqin!
The two attacks were horrifying. No one around their age would be able to handle it.
The battle instantly became tense and nerve-wracking.
Everyone watched as Shi Tuqin calmly picked up her brush and slowly drew a circle mid-air.
The air was like a piece of paper. She could write on it!
Meng Junliang and the others would recognize what she drew if they were there. It was the number ‘0’ in Arabic numbers.
Buzz!
The circle she drew caused the air to buzz and move. A weird aura was emitted with overwhelming powers. It formed a spiral.
The fist attack and black lightning were sucked into the spiral. Then, they disappeared into thin air.
Everything was back to zero!
“She… She blocked the attacks?!”
Shi Tuyu was dumbfounded.
Shi Tumingri was dumbfounded.
The crowd was also dumbfounded.
They could not believe their eyes.
“How’s this possible?”
Shi Tuyu stared with wide eyes. He stared dead at Shi Tuqin. He could not accept it.
She casually made a brushstroke and made his attacks vanish. It was hard to accept.
Shi Tuqin went to study calligraphy. However… They could not believe it was that kind of calligraphy! ‘Seriously?’
“Is that all you’ve got?”
Shi Tuyu went serious. He was shocked, but that did not mean he would admit defeat. Everyone saw how Shi Tuqin went down. Even if she recovered, she was not his match!
“Attack!”
He yelled as their surroundings echoed with a menacing aura. The air went stiff with a blood-red hue.
Shi Tuyu attacked at the same time as the Black-Gold Storm Tiger. The Black Tiger was surrounded by black lightning. He sizzled like a black lightning orb and attacked Shi Tuqin!
Shi Tuyu activated all his powers. He was surrounded by the Power of Light. He walked toward her like a comet. He slashed down mercilessly!
Boom!
The attack did not hit her yet, but explosions could already be heard on stage!
It was obvious that Shi Tuyu did not hold back on that attack!
“Qin!”
Shi Tumingri, Elder Zhao, and Elder Xu looked worried. Their hearts were in their throats.
Suddenly, Shi Tuqin picked up her brush again. She wrote in the air.
It was a point and stroke!
She made two strokes and wrote a word. ‘Knife!’
In an instant, a menacing aura soared into the sky and slashed through the clouds. Red menacing aura rolled in.
A huge knife appeared and menacingly overpowered Shi Tuyu!
Then, the knife trembled and slashed down!
Boom—
The powerful knife made a nice curved angle as it slashed through half of the stage, including Shi Tuyu and the Black Gold Storm Tiger!
The knife knocked the two figures away like it was cutting the strings of kites. They bled from their deep wounds!
Spurt!
They spat out fresh blood. Their arrogance was nowhere to be seen again.
“Damn, Shi Tuyu lost again?”
“So powerful. What happened? Did Shi Tuqin win by making two brushstrokes?”
“Calligraphy Cultivation! That’s Calligraphy Cultivation! Her brushstrokes actualize into endless powers. She can even create a world with calligraphy! I can’t believe Shi Tuqin’s able to cultivate to this level. This is terrifying!”
“They said Shi Tuqin went to study calligraphy. It’s true, but… It’s not what we expected.”
“We didn’t notice.”
Even Shi Tumingri was stunned. He looked at his daughter and thought he was hallucinating.
Shi Tuyu and his Familiar Beast had improved, and he was almost as good as the previous Shi Tuqin. However, Shi Tuqin had lost her Familiar Beast and her cultivation. He could not believe that she still won. Not to mention, how easily she won.
‘When did Qin become so powerful?
‘This is unreal.’
“Cal… Calligraphy?”
Elder Zhao and Elder Xu looked at each other with shock and horror.
They recalled the day they heard Shi Tuqin wanted to learn calligraphy. They were mocked by a Boar Demon. The Boar Demon said they did not understand calligraphy.
It seemed like they truly did not understand calligraphy at all.
“It must be a legendary item. Shi Tuqin’s brush is a legendary item!”
“Legendary brush. It’s a legendary brush!”
A lot of knowledgeable cultivators sensed the aura of the brush. They exclaimed in awe.
“How’s this possible? Impossible!” Shi Tuyu could not accept it.
“Nothing’s impossible.” Blackie was suddenly in front of him. He stared straight at Shi Tuyu, causing him to jolt.
Shi Tuyu alarmingly asked, “What do you want?”
“You lost. I want to claim my reward from our bet!”
Blackie calmly lifted his dog paw and snatched something behind him!
Spurt!
“Ouch!” The Black-Gold Storm Tiger that was laying on the ground instantly trembled. He stood up while shaking.
“No!”
Black Tiger had bloodshot eyes as it screamed, “My pride!”
“No, it’s mine now! I’m such a softie, so I’ll let you look at it one final time.”
Blackie waved that thing in front of the Black-Gold Storm Tiger. Then, he put it in his pocket and left flamboyantly.
They said that ‘thing’ was good for a married man. ‘I’ll bring this back to the Master. He’ll be pleased. Hehe, I’m so smart.’
The Black Tiger whined and cried behind him. Shi Tuyu was filled with hatred. He shivered from anger.
Shi Tumingri was shocked and surprised. He asked, “I can’t believe Qin learned Calligraphy Cultivation. Perhaps she swallowed a legendary pill?”
Qin Zhongshan shook his head. He said, “Narrow, you are too narrow-minded. Make a bolder guess.”
Shi Tumingri asked, “Did she understand it on her own? No wonder she wants to learn calligraphy.”
Bai Chen said with contempt, “Do you lack imagination or something? Come on, make a bolder guess!”
Shi Tumingri gasped and asked, “Perhaps she got lucky and learned from an eldritch method?!”
“Ha. More!”
Qin Zhongshan mysteriously grinned. “Being weak limits your imagination.”
Bai Chen slowly said, “Shi Tuqin learned Calligraphy Cultivation from a Godly expert!”
‘Godly expert?’
Shi Tumingri could not believe it. Shi Tuqin coincidentally walked over. He immediately asked, “Qin, did you learn calligraphy from an expert?”
Elder Zhao and Elder Xu listened at the side with shock.
Shi Tuqin shook her head. Then, she said, “I’m only his study servant. I don’t deserve to be the expert’s student yet, but I followed some of the expert’s instructions to cultivate.”
Boom!
Shi Tumingri and the others were mind blown. They did not expect Shi Tuqin to say something so pretentious. They felt like their minds short-circuited.
“Study… Study servant?” Elder Xu looked at Shi Tuqin with disbelief.
Shi Tumingri asked, “Qin, how long have you been around the expert?”
“Since I was saved. The expert didn’t want to see me suffer from my inner Demon, so he advised me to calm down with calligraphy.”
Shi Tuqin looked grateful. She continued to say, “It’s been roughly a month.”
‘A month?’
‘And you’re so awesome?’
Elder Xu pursed his lips. “Qin, are you a Quasi-Saint now?”
Shi Tuqin nodded.
Elder Xu was dumbfounded. “I remember you were only a Daluo Golden Immortal when you were captured by the Ministry.”
‘You’re at a terrifying level in Calligraphy Cultivation after merely a short month, and your powers sky-rocketed, too.
‘This is too much!
‘Tell me honestly. Did you cheat or something? I want to freaking choke you!’
Qin Zhongshan had to say, “Enough. We told you it’s a Godly expert, stop trying to think with your common knowledge. This is ridiculous!”
Elder Zhao excitedly asked, “Qin, can I look at your brush?”
“Of course.”
Shi Tuqin passed him the brush without hesitation.
Everyone gathered to look, including Qin Zhongshan and Bai Chen.
“Ultimate treasure. This brush is indeed an ultimate treasure!”
“It’s surrounded by Chaos Spiritual Qi. It must be a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!”
“Wow, I’ve never seen such a high-class treasure. Did you borrow this brush from the expert, too?”
Everyone felt dry in the throat as they looked at the brush.
“Um…”
Shi Tuqin groaned. She said, “No, the expert gave it to me. He has too many brushes. He had all sorts of brushes of different shapes and sizes. He felt like this was an extra brush he had and that it was ordinary, so he simply gave it to me to learn calligraphy.”
Everyone went silent.
Then, they simultaneously gasped.
“Yikes—”
