Lin family, Lin Yi is still as usual to practice chess battles in the morning nine kills of the first kill, and practice the shock word seal in the afternoon, one is the main hole card, the other is the main means of attack.

And just after Lin Yi had just finished a day's practice, he suddenly heard a news, about the word artist, three days later, the Character Association will hold a character discussion meeting, all the word artist can participate, mainly by condensing the character to exchange cultivation experience.

After hearing the news, Lin Yi left the family and went directly to the Writing Association to check on specific matters, and then learned some information on a virtual image screen outside the Writing Association.

This is a meeting in which all graphers can participate, mainly to compete in character cohesion, to exchange experiences and judge the best graphers.

At the same time, this seminar also has a reward, the first place can get a king-level rune, as well as a text condensation method, a number of art stones, the second place can get a spirit-level rune, a text condensation method, a number of art stones, the third place is a division-level rune, a number of art stones, and the latter can also get a number of art stones.

The reward is still a little good for Lin Yi, but among them, the only thing that can make Lin Yi's heart is the king-level and spirit-level runes, his calligraphy has been at the master level for a long time, and he can't break through for a long time, and he can see if this rune can break through to the spirit level by observing its condensation method.

The requirement to participate is the minimum scholar-level calligrapher, and at the same time, a scholar-level sigil must be presented, and Lin Yi is only a record sigil of an apprentice-level calligrapher at this time. So after spending a little time on the assessment, the information in the rune was upgraded to the division level, and then the most ordinary sergeant-level 'life' sigil was taken out. I started to sign up.

There are indeed a lot of calligraphers who participated in this seminar this time, but I don't know how much of it has a real level, Lin Yi lined up with the big team, and it wasn't until noon that he finished registering, and at the same time, he also heard some news about other calligraphers from the mouths of these registered artists.

Xiao Hua, a spiritual-level calligrapher. It is also very famous in Hunhe City.

Li Dong, a spiritual-level calligrapher, is a strong contender for the top three.

Shang Yu. One of the most outstanding geniuses among the spiritual-level calligraphers, he was only thirty years old, but he was more powerful than some old antiques in calligraphy.

Spiritual-level calligrapher. In Hunhe City, he is already regarded as the top calligrapher. The king-level calligrapher above the spirit level, and only the president of the Writing Association is, these three people have the highest voice, and many people are optimistic that these three people will win the top three, especially Shang Yu, who is known as the first genius of Hunhe City's calligraphy, except for the president of the Writing Association.

Lin Yi left the Writing Association and returned to the Lin family after registering for the name. Waiting for tomorrow's game, Ling Tie came to Lin Yi during the period. Ling Tie is also a scholar-level calligrapher, so he also signed up, this time he also came to ask Lin Yi if he had signed up, and after chatting with Lin Yi for a while, Ling Tie left.

After being speechless all night, the next morning, after Lin Yi had breakfast, he left the family and came to the Writing Association.

At this time, the entrance of the Writing Association was already crowded with people, of course, most of the people came to see the excitement, and in the square of the Writing Association, a large stage was temporarily erected, and the people who watched the excitement were gathered around this stage, and only the calligraphers who signed up could enter the square.

Lin Yi followed the others into the square, and then heard a voice coming from the side.

"Brother Lin, this way!" Lin Yi, who heard the voice, also turned his head to look, and then found that in a corner, Ling Tie was waving at him, Lin Yi also smiled and then came to Ling Tie's side.

"Brother Ling, you're here so early. Lin Yi looked at Ling Tie and said with a smile.

"It's not okay if you don't come early, after all, there are too many people, and there are a lot of people who sign up this time, but most of them are scholar-level calligraphers, and there are not many teacher-level calligraphers, and there are only three spiritual-level calligraphers. Ling Tie introduced Lin Yi to some of the people who participated in the Writing Association this time.

"Well, I've heard a little bit about it, three spirit-level word magicians. Lin Yi glanced at the people around him and said with a light smile.

"Well, these three spiritual-level calligraphers are also outstanding characters in our Hunhe City, Xiao Hua and Li Dong are relatively ordinary spiritual-level calligraphers, the real power is Shang Yu, he is a spiritual-level peak calligrapher, even the president of the Writing Association praises Shang Yu, and he is about to step into the ranks of king-level calligraphers. Ling Tie said with envy.

Lin Yi, who heard this, was also stunned, it seems that this Shang Yu is not simple, the person who can be praised by a king-level calligrapher, his strength in calligraphy should indeed be very extraordinary.

"Three spirit levels...... I don't know if there is any hope of getting the first place, but even if it doesn't, I hope to find an opportunity to break through in this competition. Lin Yi glanced at the location of Shang Yu and muttered.

It didn't take long for several old men to come out of the Writing Association, a few of them were on the rostrum, and the remaining white-haired old man walked onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, I am the host of this character discussion meeting, and I am also the referee of this competition, and now sitting on the rostrum are the president of the Character Association, and we are also the only king-level calligrapher in Hunhe City, President Zhou Yuzhou. The white-haired old man pointed his finger to the most central position on the rostrum as he spoke, and everyone also looked over, Zhou Yu, as the only king-level calligrapher in Hunhe City, was very concerned, but his appearance was mediocre, and he couldn't tell that he was a king-level calligrapher.

“...... Zhou Yu, is there another Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang or something......" Lin You, who heard this name, muttered a little speechlessly.

"Brother Lin, what are you talking about, what Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, are they also masters of calligraphy?" At this time, Ling Tie on the side also asked curiously.

"Huh...... It's nothing, it's just that President Zhou's name is a little similar to a friend of mine......" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, I see, the name is so much the same, let's focus on today's game first. Ling Tie nodded and said.

At this time, the white-haired old man also introduced the elders of the other writing associations. Next, we will introduce the rules of the seminar.

"The purpose of this character seminar is to allow all calligraphers to benefit from it and increase their ability to condense characters, and a total of 120 people have signed up for the competition. The rules of the competition are the first round of the preliminary audition, all the contestants condense the characters on the spot, and finally select the twenty characters with the highest quality rank, and the owner of these twenty characters can also successfully advance to the next round of finals, and the second round of the semi-finals is the promotion of the twenty people on the same stage, select the best one, as the champion of this time. The others are ranked in order. The white-haired old man said with a smile.

"The rewards for the top three in this symposium competition are very generous, and the first place can get a king-level sigil and a method of condensing words. There are a number of art stones, and the second place can get a spirit-level sigil, a text condensation method, and a number of art stones. The third place is the divisional sigil. There are a number of Artistic Stones, and a certain number of Artistic Stones can also be obtained later. After the white-haired old man finished talking about the rewards of the conference in one breath, the square instantly boiled, after all, most of the people present were scholar-level and division-level calligraphers, and there were only three spiritual-level ones, so the rewards of the top three were very attractive to them.

"I hope I have a chance to break through to a spiritual-level word artist. Lin Yi looked at the white-haired old man on the stage and muttered to himself, as long as he can successfully break through to the spirit level word artist. He is confident that he will win the first place with the condensation method in "Cihai".

"Brother Lin, this time we don't ask for anything else. Just want to be able to enter the top 20, most of them are scholar-level calligraphers, and there are not many division-level calligraphers, so we still have a chance. Ling Tie said to Lin Yi in a low voice, in his opinion, Lin Yi was just a scholar-level calligrapher.

"Well, hopefully. Lin Yi just smiled faintly at Ling Tie and didn't say anything.

This was followed by a speech by Zhou Yu, the president of the Writing Association, and then by other elders, and finally the competition officially began.

"This stage can only accommodate 20 people at a time, so 120 contestants, 20 at a time, divided into six groups. The white-haired old man said.

"Now twenty people are randomly selected to take the stage. The white-haired old man said that twenty people were randomly selected, and there were no Lin Yi and Ling Tie here.

After these twenty contestants were selected, they came to the stage one after another, and then took out the materials they prepared and began to condense the characters, the first round of the audition text association will not provide them with any help, and the materials and methods of the condensation have to be prepared by themselves, if they fail, they will be eliminated directly.

Time passed bit by bit, and the twenty people on the stage were carefully condensing their strongest characters.

On the rostrum, an elder said to President Zhou Yu, "President Zhou, who do you think will win the first place this time?"

"If nothing else, it should be Shang Yu, after all, he has reached the peak of a spirit-level word artist, and he is about to step into a king-level word artist. Zhou Yu said without hesitation, and closed his eyes after speaking, there were no highlights in the game of the twenty people below, so he was not in the mood to watch it.

After about half an hour, the first batch of twenty people finally completed their own characters, two of them were directly eliminated after failing to condense the characters, and the other eighteen people successfully condensed their own characters.

"Well, I've numbered all your characters and stored them, so you can go down first. The white-haired old man handed the stored characters to a few elders who were specially responsible for auditing, and said lightly, and then the twenty people in the second group came to the stage again, and they also started to move, among the twenty people in this group, there were five division-level calligraphers, and the others were scholar-level calligraphers.

Lin Yi squinted at these five division-level calligraphers, their word condensation skills are very proficient, but there is no such thing as word printing, so the word condensation process is very slow and cumbersome.

Half an hour passed, and these twenty people also successfully condensed their proud characters, the most outstanding of which were the five division-level calligraphers, they only took a quarter of an hour to complete, and their quality was still very good.

Deposit these twenty runes and hand them to the elders who reviewed them, and then the next group of twenty people took the stage, this is already the third group of people, there is still no Lin Yi, but Ling Tie is among them.

"Brother Ling, come on. Lin Yi glanced at Ling Tie and said encouragingly.

"Brother Lin, look at me. Ling Tie smiled at Lin Yi, then turned around and walked onto the stage, his calligraphy cultivation had also reached the peak of the scholar level, I only hoped that this competition would allow him to break through to the division level.
