Chapter 66 Prelude to the Family Competition

Three days before the Lu family's office selection competition, Lu Tong and Lu Kai followed more than 20 teachers of the title level in Songyang City to the "Wood Arts Workshop" in Qinghe City. Under the leadership of the shop owner, they entered a very wide courtyard in the "Wood Arts Workshop". It turned out that there was a building house group dedicated to high-level tests and competitions behind the assessment area of ​​the "Wood Arts Workshop".

The large yard is divided into several areas with different functions, used for living, eating, assessment and ceremonies. Each area is very spacious. For example, the living area is divided into four separate courtyards in Lufang and other state cities. The dining area is divided into three types: luxury, high-end and ordinary restaurants. Everyone can choose at will, as long as you can afford coins.

Lu Tong originally had no requirements for food, but he could not withstand Lu Kai's enthusiastic invitation. He said that it was rare to come here once and he had to go to the luxury food store to spend. So Lu Tong, Lu Kai and two other deacons from Lu Fang in Songyang City entered the luxury food store together.

The luxury food shop was divided into separate and elegant food rooms. When Lu Tong and the others stepped into the hall, they were attracted by the voices of familiar people. They were a group of people coming from Lu Fang in Huanglong City. The leader was Lu Shaofeng. Next to him was the teacher Lu Chuanming who sent Lu Tong to the assessment, and there were a few people he didn't know. He must have been a wooden tool master who participated in the competition, but the two people behind him surprised Lu Tong. It turned out to be Lu Zhi and Lu Yun.

The group of people also saw Lu Chong and the others. Lu Chong immediately stepped forward to greet them. Lu Shaofeng smiled and nodded, but Teacher Lu Chuanming asked Lu Chong very enthusiastically, and seemed extremely concerned. Lu Zhi and Lu Yun came forward to hug Lu Chong. Although they had not met for more than two years, the feelings that were condensed by Xiu Mu Tong at that time were undoubtedly extremely precious.

According to Lu Yun's explanation, he learned that after three years of study, Lu Zhi and Lu Yun passed the master level assessment. Now they are still working as a production master in Lufang, Huanglong City. This time they follow everyone to observe and learn.

Lu Chong introduced Lu Kai and others to Lu Shaofeng and others. They were both wooden tools masters and they could easily get together, communicate and chat with each other. At this time, a group of people came in from outside the hall. One of them saw him and shouted to Lu Chong: "Lu Chong, it's indeed a self-righteous guy. He actually came here. Can you afford the coins?"

Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Lu Yong and Lu Tong, and there were several young people I didn't know. Among them, one of them was a luxurious boy with a cold light on Lu Tong's eyes. Lu Tong recognized that he was Lu Yuan, who had lost a set of knives with him in competition with him. The person standing in front was Lu Tong with a proud look on his face.

Hearing someone talking like this, Lu Kai was angrily about to rush forward to argue, but Lu Tong reached out to stop him and said to Lu Tong lightly: "How capable are you in addition to shouting like a dog?"

Lu Tong's face changed color suddenly. When he was about to retort, Lu Yuan next to him suddenly spoke, "Lu Tong, you were slightly better last time. I wonder if you have been unfamiliar with your techniques in the past two years. Can't you just use your mouth to defeat others?"

Then Lu Chong asked quietly: "Lu Yuan, what do you want to do?"

Lu Yuan said confidently: "Do you dare to compete again?"

Lu Zong replied coldly: "How to compare?"

Lu Yuan said with a little cunning look: "Since you surpassed me in carving back then, you will naturally compete in carving calendula. The time does not take too long, half an hour is enough. Whoever loses will pay all the coins consumed here tonight. Please judge everyone present. I don't think you are afraid of delaying this time."

Lu Chong understood Lu Yuan's insidiousness in his heart, but avoided the gazes that tried to dissuade him and said quickly: "Okay, I promise you, I want you to know that as a wood maker, I can easily surpass a sculptor even in carving."

A hint of pride appeared at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth, and ordered others to prepare various knives, materials and utensils used for the competition, and began to place long wooden tables in a room. After a while, the person who prepared the things had come back and soon placed all the competition on the long wooden table. Everyone was waiting for the start of the competition.

After burning the incense, a sculptor from Qinghe City whispered to announce the start of the competition, and everyone focused all their attention on the two contestants. Some were worried, some were excited, and some felt an unknown doubt.

Lu Yuan took the lead in picking up the knife and carving it. He saw his slender fingers cleverly jamming the square wood and turning it. He held the blade with his right hand and quickly rolled and fell on the square wood in an easy way. In an instant, a bud appeared, and then slid downwards continuously, and soon carved and formed the second and third layers of flowers.

Everyone's eyes showed a surprise. They didn't expect that this young man named Lu Yuan had such skillful techniques, especially the cooperation between his hands was very exquisite, without a trace of pause in the middle, and his movements seemed extremely smooth.

Only two teachers in the room, including Lu Shaofeng and others, saw the mystery. Teacher Lu Shaofeng was a long-famous double-hand meridian and telepathic technician, and the other was the young man who announced the beginning. He was a sculptor-level double-hand meridian and telepathic technician. They all saw that Lu Yuan, who was carving at this time, was actually a double-hand meridian and telepathic technician.

Lu Chong did not rush to carve, but habitually closed his eyes slightly for a while, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit out, as if he was savoring something in the air. After opening his eyes, he slowly picked up the square wood on the table, and held a knife with his five fingers in his right hand. His eyes became brighter, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into a state of no one.

When all the woodworkers raised their worries to their hearts, Lu Chong's hands began to move. He increased the rotation and the speed of entering and exiting the knife from slow to fast, as if he was hitting a strange rhythm, his hands quickly flew in the air. In the end, no one could see clearly, just like playing a mysterious song in a fast speed.

Everyone was shocked by the two of them's superb skills that surpassed ordinary people, and even their breathing became rapid. Only a large piece of wood chips could be heard in the whole room. Lu Shaofeng also secretly marveled at Lu Chong's superb skills. Unexpectedly, in just over two years, Lu Chong's skills on wooden tools had surpassed his enlightenment teacher, and the engraver of the two meridian sculptor was already dumbfounded. He really couldn't have imagined that a wooden tool master's hands would become so agile, much more sophisticated than his own carving skills.

Lu Yuan learned from the lessons from the last competition and did not watch Lu Chong's situation. He focused on carving the fifth and sixth floors, but he felt a strange aura in the room, which was a bit suppressed by him. However, he insisted on sliding the blade down quickly. Gradually, the eighth and ninth floors had been successfully completed, and the complex flower sheets on the tenth floor were next.

Time passed quickly. At this time, Lu Chong was like a fisherman fighting waves in the sea, stirring the layers of waves on the sea with both hands. The layers of waves circled with force, and presented layer by layer to everyone's eyes.

People gathered their eyes on the silence of the flower. The perfect flower bloomed like a branch in spring, showing a fresh and lively vitality. The layers of flower slices were so natural but as thin as cicadas' wings. Everyone counted them carefully and all gasped. This turned out to be an extremely exquisite eleven-layered calendula chrysanthemum.

Lu Yuan found that the situation was completely wrong. He held the shaped ten-layer marigold chrysanthemum in his hand, turned to look at the flowers on Lu Chong's long wooden table. It was like this again. He felt a sense of resentment and depressedness, and threw the flowers and blades in his hand on the table.

After a while, Lu Yuan returned to his calm expression and said to Lu Chong: "Okay, you won again this time. All the expenses tonight are mine, but remember, I will definitely win in the end, so wait and see." After that, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Chapter completed!
