Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 278: Painting Inheritance

After clearing the first block, Sam stepped on the next block. He looked at the remaining candidates who are still stuck in the first block.

The experience of the etching indeed helped him.

He looked at the next holograph which formed, this time the complexity increased by a lot as he needed to draw a pattern formed by combined a number of straight lines.

The energy flow is the same as the previous one, but maintaining the same energy flow constantly while making sure that it is sufficient without any interference in the energy even when the lines overlapped.

He started doing this and after a few tries, he understood why it would take two days for the painting artisans.h.i.+p.

These trails are designed with the most variation in difficulty and complexity that it tests a person's capability to learn things of complex nature in a short time in the most efficient way.

This method of learning is not feasible in regular situations. But it could surely give a person a certain level of expertise in a short amount of time.

This method should opt-in extreme situations but the person must have extraordinary intelligence level and a certain level of genius.

Sam also opted for this method in his previous life so that he could execute certain a.s.sa.s.sination a.s.signments.

He didn't expect that he would use this method again in this life and that too in this kind of situation.

He started practicing the whole thing again and again. He only pa.s.sed after more than three hours of practice and by this time remaining candidates also pa.s.sed the first stage and moved to the second stage.

Sam looked at the third stage of the test as he stood on the new block. The third one is even more complicated there are two patterns one which is made of straight lines and another one with the curved lines.

He has to create two patterns with the same energy consistency.

He started practicing it again and this time, he has to work for at least three hours to even have partial success in the whole pattern.

After more than another three hours, he was finally able to create two patterns perfectly.

The next step though made him feel defeated and it became a test of patience. Because in this thing he has to merge the patterns into a single one without letting it clash and turn chaotic.

This time, the failures are not as calm as before, rather they are completely chaotic and they are completely blasted and created ripples of spiritual energy at the canvas.

If it was a real canvas, Sam is quite confident that the canvas would have blasted away.

He now understood the difficulty, for every blast a normal person would have lost his focus bit by bit, even Sam with his highly tempered mental state is having a hard time focusing on it, he understood the significance of the tower of will now.

Only after another nine hours did he have success.

He was wondering how he would deal with this whole inheritance in two days as already more than eighteen hours in the four stages.

But he got his answer on the fifth test because he has to copy a whole painting using the expertise he gained from the first four stages, The painting is a smaller one. Only three elements are in the painting.

They are a volcano, magma, lava blast.

A painting depicting the volcanic blast, an attack-type painting.

This time, it didn't take as much time as the previous test, because, he doesn't need any extra knowledge or expertise to do this, all he has to do is combine and repeat the things he had done in the previous four tests, except in an extremely different way.

He completed the test in three hours, and the next is another painting with around five elements. The tidal wave attack. In this, the water, the direction, the wind a.s.sisting the water, the intensity of the wave and the nature of collision all these elements have to be depicted.

This is the great thing about the painting artisans.h.i.+p. One doesn't need to possess the elements to wield attacks or defenses of that certain element. All he has to do is possess the elemental paints to create a painting. Of course, possessing the elements will further increase their success rate and the efficiency of the whole thing.

It took another six hours with a total expense of twenty-seven hours.

There are still twenty-one hours left and six tests are completed.

At this moment, only Andrew reached the fifth test, the rest are still at the fourth one.

He is glad that he has some expertise in this area and able to go past this, otherwise, it is really hard for someone without any knowledge.

The tests are not just tests though, they are actually lessons too, a layman can even get some expertise in these stages. Murali actually compressed the basics and the rest of the steps in each test so that they can learn this as fast as they can.

He didn't waste any time, so he immediately went into the next test.

The seventh one is also a painting and this time, it has more than seven elements. Sam took around three hours and the eight one with nine elements, he took around four hours.

Even the ninth one was easy for him, but the tenth one took almost all the time he had left/

Because it is one of the most complex paintings Sam has ever seen even in both lives. The painting is an illusion world painting.

In simple terms, a person has to depict the whole world inside the paint and create an illusion on the canvas.

This way they have to trap a person's soul into the world and attack the soul with the number of elements that are present inside that painting world.

The world he has to depict is a prison or rather a torture chamber. It is similar to a cage in which the person is going to be tortured with various primitive methods, like intense flames and metallic spike being stung into his system.

Sam is having a hard time completing this one. The main problem with this painting is that the paint is made of some delicate substance and made of materials that are suitable for creating illusions and if there is any problem is maintaining the balance of the energy.

He blasted more than ten canvases and was still unable to deal with the painting.

He has an extreme headache at this moment, there was only an hour left when he finally dealt with the whole painting.

Then only he was able to cross the tenth block and finally step on the platform that was accommodating the glowing sphere.

As soon as he stepped on the platform, the glowing sphere disappeared and some form of light particles entered Sam's mind and a new load of images entered his mind particularly in the form of images and incidents.

He saw Murali's image in his mind. Murali is practicing the painting artisans.h.i.+p.

There are many broken canvases and brushes that are completely damaged all around the place as he practiced the basic movements and strokes one by one without rest.

This...o...b..is filled with the experiences Murali has gone through before.

The experiences are not just playing everything Murali learned and the process he used for mastering every technique was being ingrained in his mind directly.

The inheritance is completely in a literal sense. He is inheriting everything that Murali learned directly.

The inheritance was over. But the tests didn't stop. They are still going on and the candidates are also not stopping as they are curious to find out if the can find anything worthwhile if they could complete the whole thing.

There was only an hour left and Sam was already transferred back to the main hall but he also had a paintbrush in his hands. This is the same paintbrush Sam had seen in Murali's experiences particularly of the experiences when he is an a.d.u.l.t and is in his prime of artisans.h.i.+p.

But the rest are not transferred. Then only he understood why there is a certain time limit without and he also understood that the time limit is still there even if the inheritance is already obtained by Sam.

What Sam understood is that no matter who won the inheritance, anyone who can partic.i.p.ate in the inheritance can obtain some form of knowledge.

Now, the remaining three candidates who didn't get the inheritance were still able to learn the painting artisan techniques.

Even if they wouldn't let the whole artisans.h.i.+p as their profession, they can still use this knowledge to deal with the problems in the future that are caused by other painter artisans.

After all, the knowledge once obtained is the most valuable treasure for any person. It is almost impossible to take it away from a person.
