Chapter 342: [342] Amaze the gods! _1
The panel of judges seated above, all with faces full of awe, now stared at Tang Feng.
“Youth is to be regarded with respect.”
It was only now that they truly grasped the meaning of this phrase.
Tang Feng had cleared the advanced examination for all categories in one go.
This startlingly unconventional performance deeply moved all of them.
Frankly speaking, aside from a few people like Ouyang Yushan and Yao Guhuai, the vast majority here were not confident they could clear all categories.
Even figures of Ouyang Yushan and Yao Guhuai’s status dared not claim they could outperform Tang Feng.
Which is to say, Tang Feng was the true expert worthy of sitting among the judges.
And many among them were no longer sitting comfortably.
They always felt as if they were merely muddling through their roles.
The judges couldn’t help but inwardly lament.
What was this turn of events?
A contestant so impressive that even the judges felt unworthy of their title, this was probably the first of its kind.
Now in their eyes, Tang Feng could only be described in four words.
He was simply astonishing!
No one now considered Tang Feng a junior, but rather a master of antiques equal to any of them.
As for who was the most regretful amongst them, that had to be Ouyang Yushan.
Actually, he had just been struck by the idea of taking Tang Feng as his disciple.
Having such a disciple to continue his legacy would have elevated his prestige yet another step.
But now, he had abandoned that unrealistic thought.
With the strength that Tang Feng had shown, he was fully qualified to be master of his own, to establish his own school.
How could he seek another as a teacher?
On the other hand, who was happiest? In fact, it was Yao Guhuai.
He had been secretly worrying about whether Ouyang Yushan might take Tang Feng as a disciple.
If this genius really became Ouyang Yushan’s disciple, then he might never have a chance to rise again.
Only at this moment did he finally relax.
With the level of skill Tang Feng had demonstrated, probably no one in the entire Zhonghai Antique Circle was qualified to be his teacher.
Indeed, should Tang Feng wish, countless people would clamor to become his disciples.
As long as Ouyang Yushan’s prestige didn’t rise again, it was good news for him.
Contrary to the undercurrents amongst the judges, the audience had completely erupted with excitement.
The chants of “Feng God” were incessant.
Everyone behaved as if it were the New Year festivities, the scene buzzing with activity.
Qin Yanan, caught up in it all, could hardly contain her excitement as she turned to boast to the person beside her, “He is the chief appraiser at my store, did you see that? His performance was amazing, he’s the chief appraiser at my store…”
However, the responses she got were, “That woman is crazy” and “What is she babbling about?”
Qin Yanan didn’t mind, still immersed in her joy.
She had already had great expectations for Tang Feng, but she had not anticipated him earning four advanced appraiser qualifications in one fell swoop.
How many in the whole Zhonghai City Antique Circle were expert advanced appraisers in all categories?
Probably fewer than ten in total.
Each of them could be called a master.
With him as their leading sign, Ya Garden would surely become exceedingly profitable.
She feared she might only need to worry that her “temple” was too small to accommodate such a great “Buddha.”
Zhong Pan’er watched Tang Feng from a distance.
She suddenly felt as though she was just a clown.
In the past, boasting about passing the junior examination for all categories, showing off in front of everyone.
Little did she know, the gap between her and him was vast.
Now he had cleared the advanced examination for all categories in one go, and with perfect scores nonetheless.
It was foreseeable that this man would become a legend within the Zhonghai Antique Circle.
When this news spread, it would surely cause a huge sensation.
At this moment, she felt what true despair was for the first time.
If there was even a glimmer of hope to catch up, that couldn’t be called despair.
Only when there was no hope in sight, no matter the effort, even without sleep, one couldn’t hope to catch up.
That was true despair!
When Tang Feng saw everyone in the stadium going crazy for him, he actually felt incredibly nervous inside.
Perhaps being in the midst of it all, he didn’t realize just how impressive his displayed strength was.
Only from completely outside could one understand that shock.
But amidst his nervousness, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
He even somewhat enjoyed the feeling of people going crazy over him.
He felt he might have chosen the wrong profession, as becoming a singer or a sports star might have suited him better.
After some time of chaos, the venue slowly returned to order.
People also began to gradually recover from their shock.
All the assessments for the day had ended, and now only the awarding of certificates remained.
According to the competition rules, certificates for advanced appraisers would be presented by the judges on the spot.
But intermediate and junior appraisers would not have this honor.
They could only wait to collect their certificates from the organizers after the competition ended.
A total of five appraisers had passed the advanced examination in this competition.
As the only appraiser to clear the advanced examination for all categories, Tang Feng naturally took the central position.
The other four newly-advanced appraisers could do nothing but play supporting roles.
Ouyang Yushan, Yao Guhuai, and three other judges, holding the certificates, walked towards the five people.
“Congratulations, congratulations…”
The judges each had their assignees to present the certificates.
It seemed to be arranged according to the level of stature.
Ouyang Yushan, as the most prestigious master of antiques there, undoubtedly presented the certificates to Tang Feng, who had the most outstanding performance.
Yao Guhuai presented to an older candidate who seemed to hold some status in the antique world.
The other three judges presented to the remaining three candidates.
“Mr. Tang, I really hadn’t expected you to keep so much to yourself,” Ouyang Yushan said to Tang Feng as he handed him the four certificates, teasing with a joking tone.
“Ouyang elder brother, what do you mean?” Tang Feng, taking the certificates, couldn’t help feeling thrilled.
With certificates in hand, he had finally become a professional appraiser.
And he had reached the pinnacle right at the outset.
How many could achieve this?
