Chapter 1881 – Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1881 . You Can Do It (1) ❀ ❀ ❀ A massive calligraphy brush gripped in a large hand swept across the plaque without hesitation. The brushstrokes were exactly what one would call ‘ dragon and snake soaring through the skies ’, a forceful yet refined script. Bold black lines, imbued with strength and precision, drew four characters on the white-tinged plaque. [ yongsabideung , 용사비등 ( 龍蛇飛騰 )] Tak. “Hmph.” The middle-aged man stared at the completed calligraphy for a long moment, then furrowed his brows and shook his head. Without a trace of regret, he set the plaque aside and brought forward a fresh, clean one. “Ugh. Seriously.” “...Hm?” “It all looks the same! What’s the difference, really?
