The Sovereign Dragon Ring

The Sovereign Dragon Ring
Episode 49's



The warm and cozy rays of the spring sun shone on the brooch of 1987, which was resting in their backyard.


Yale, George, and Reynolds were all engaged in idle conversation. Yale and George are 16 years old, while Reynolds is 14. The three of them quickly grew tall, and even the shortest Reynolds was now 1.6 meters tall. The highest among them is Yale, at an astonishing 1.9 meters.


"George, stop pretending in front of both of us. Even the fourth brother had lost his virginity. Why are you and your third brother still pretending? How about this, at the end of this month, why did you and the third brother both go to the "Jade Water Paradise" of Fenlai City. I will handle the cost. I guarantee you both will be very comfortable, and I will also guarantee that the girl will also be a virgin. The accord? ”While holding two small stone weights, Yale was doing chest exercises while laughing as he spoke.


Both the weight of the stone each weighs about 20-30 pounds. Linley generally underestimated such light weights.


George laughed too. "Boss Yale, stop trying to force us. Why don't you guys go to Jade Water Heaven while third brother and I drink. Isn't that a better idea? "


Reynolds scoffed from the side, “George, you, are not a man at all. ”


George could only laugh helplessly.


Suddenly, footsteps rang out from outside the courtyard. Yale placed the two weights of the stone and headed to the exit of the courtyard while saying, “I bet it was a third friend. Come on, time to eat .. ”Before he finished his words, Yale suddenly fell silent.


He saw Linley step forward, carrying a huge rock on his shoulder, at least three feet tall and weighing a hundred pounds.


But Linley obviously brought this stone to the dormitory easily. Yale, George, and Reynolds were all staring, agape. Linley casually placed a gigantic stone in the corner of the courtyard, and the heavy sound of the stone slamming into the ground made all of their hearts tremble.


"Whatwhat what? Third brother, I know you are strong, but how are you this strong? ”Yale stared at the stone. "Is the stone hollow or something?" As he spoke, Yale moved forward and extended his hand, giving the stone a test.


"Hrrrrngh!"


Yale used all his strength, and his entire face was flushed red, but the boulder seemed to be rooted to the earth for not moving at all.


"Boss Yale, stop wasting your energy. There's no way you can move it. "Linley laughs.


Yale's physical strength was weaker than that of a first-rate warrior. How could he lift it?


Reynolds stared at the stone with round eyes. Letting out a few surprised breaths, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Linley with a question. "Hey, Linley, why did you bring a big stone to our dormitory? Oh, I know! ”Reynolds eyes sparkle. “I have seen strong fighters use their hands to lift large stones as a form of weight training. Are you ready to start lifting weights, Linley? "


"A big rock like that can crush me into meat paste. "George stared at the stone, also letting out a few surprised breaths before turning to look at Linley by asking. "Third brother, why did you bring this giant stone to our apartment?"


Linley smiled at the three brooches, and he said two words: "Stone sculpting!"


Based on what Doehring Cowart had said, his statues were now qualified to be placed in a standard hall. But it takes a lot of time to carve each piece, and usually a day is not enough. In the past, he could casually carve in the back mountains without worrying about making a mistake, but now things were different.


"Stone sculptor?"


Reynolds, George, and Yale all stared at Linley, shocked in their eyes.


"What, is this really surprising?" Linley looked back at his three brooches.


Reynolds hurriedly said, “It's no surprise, no. This is so shocking! Our four brooches have been living together for six or seven years now, but I've never seen you sculpt a stone before. Are you planning to start training today? "


Linley laughed, "Who said I've never been trained before? I've been practicing rock sculpting in the back mountains for over five years now, but this time, after I finish this part, I'm, I plan to take it to the Proulx Gallery and display it there and see if it can be sold for any money. . ”


In order to make a sufficient amount of money to allow his younger brother, Wharton, to have sufficient funds to go with Housekeeper Hiri to the O'Brien Empire to ask for admission and training, he said, the Baruch clan had actually run out of all funds.


But despite this, Hogg was still very happy.


What if his family goes bankrupt? His older son, Linley, was a student at the Ernst Institute, and after graduation would definitely become a powerful magus. And his younger son, Wharton, has the possibility of becoming a Dragonblood Warrior.


Hogg could already foretell the dawning splendor of the Baruch clan!


"Poulx Gallery?" After hearing this, Yale and the other two looked at Linley in shock.


Linley was the pride of their dorm, the 1987 dorm. Despite being only fifteen years old, he had entered the fifth grade at the Ernst Institute, and had been recognized alongside Dixie as one of the 'Two Supreme Geniuses at the Ernst Institute'. Yale and the others all recognized Linley as a genius, but …


Stonesculpting is a profound art form.


"Sister three, don't get too carried away. George joked with comfort.


"Linley, I'm afraid ... Your sculpture, will anyone actually buy it?" Reynolds frowned, an expression of disbelief on his face.


Yale laughed out loud. “Why are you guys acting like this? Third brother, go ahead and show off. As long as you have the exhibition, I'll spend ten thousand gold to buy it and help spread your fame. ”


"I'm telling the truth . "Linley took a straight chisel from her clothes.


"Chisel straight?" Reynolds was surprised. "Linley, it looks like you've already made some preparations. But in the past, I was also ready to learn to make stones, so I knew that many tools were needed, including straight chisels, butterfly chisels, triangular chisels, jade bowl chisels, etc, and equipment like a saw. What, are you only setting up one tool? "


George, Reynolds, and Yale all knew at least some basics about art.


Linley did not say too much.


Holding his straight chisel, Linley naturally entered a calm mental state. His spirit could feel the essence of the earth flowing through the stone in front of him, and could even sense, barely, the veins within. Smiling, Linley started using the chisel.


The flashing chisel reflected the sunlight, causing nearby Reynolds and the others to squint. But they all kept staring at the stone.


"Whoooooosh!"


Wherever the shadow of the chisel fell, large pieces of stone began to fall as well.


"How is this possible?" Yale watched in amazement. "To remove such a large piece of stone, a saw must be used to cut it. He completely wiped them off with just a straight chisel. How amazing was the strength of his wrist? ”After him, Reynolds and George were both completely silent.


Wrist strength?


To do this in such a relaxed manner as Linley did, with every cut being perfect even, was not something that could be achieved with just a strong wrist.


Linley was as calm as a calm water pool. The straight chisel in his left hand stretched out, quickly carving out all parts of the stone, and pieces of excess rock continuously rained down. The naturally elegant way in which Linley was carved was a treat to watch.


"Third brother, he …. ”


Yale, George, and Reynolds exchanged glances. At this moment, they all felt in their hearts that perhaps Linley was truly an expert stone sculptor.


Calm. Nature . Peace


Linley greatly enjoyed the feeling of the stone statue. At his current level, Linley did not have to consider how much effort or strength should be used in a certain place. A straight chisel in his hand would naturally achieve the most perfect use of strength. It's a subconscious effect.


Compared to 'Straight Chisel School'?


None of the other stone carver schools could be so easy. All experts from other schools should consider which of the different types of tools should be used for each piece of sculpture. This is just exhausting.


In this natural and unrestrained manner, this Linley stone caused his spiritual essence to grow rapidly, like grass after rain. That natural growth sensation was simply amazing to Linley, making him feel at ease from the point.


Linley's right hand suddenly came to a halt.


Flying dust and a speck of rock took longer to settle down, but the outline of the crawling creature could be seen from the rock.


“Why are you guys standing there in a daze? All shocked? "Linley laughed as she turned to look at Yale and the others. “I just made a simple outline. There is still a lot of time and effort that I have to spend later. Come on, let's have lunch. ”


Yale, George, and Reynolds all glanced at each other.


Just based on what Linley had just shown them, the three of them were certain of one thing:


"Genius. "Yale said in admiration.


“A genius among experts. "George added.


Even among stone carvers, for one to be able to reach Linley's level of proficiency in just five or six years was an event that happened perhaps once in a century.
