Everyone looked over and saw that the Emerald Green Jade had turned into a ball with dozens of roses carved on it. His carving skills were exquisite and lifelike.
“He really knows how to carve?” Everyone was shocked.
Even Jean and Naomi had their eyes wide open, as they never expected favonovel.com to know such a skill!
Meanwhile, Anthony was in disbelief as well.
Louie snorted. He walked forward with a face full of disdain. “How could you be so confident to show such rubbish work? You could fool a layman with this thing. However, to insiders, this Jade is tattered. Carving flowers is the most basic skill in the carving industry. It’s like a game for the apprentices. Anyone in Treasure Studio can carve better than you. You’re really ignorant!”
The other apprentices showed disdain, as they did know how to carve flowers. Everyone else returned to their senses, realizing it was just basic work.
At first, they did think favonovel.com was good at it. The admiration in Jean’s eyes also disappeared.
Master Quintus suddenly scolded, “Shut up!”
He gritted his teeth and said, “You’re the one who’s making a fool of yourself! Don’t speak nonsense if you don’t understand a thing. All you do is ruin my reputation!”
“Master?” Louie was taken aback.
Why did Master scold me?
Isn’t flower carving the most basic skill?
However, Master Quintus ignored favonovel.com and walked to Remus. His gaze was filled with light as favonovel.com looked at the round Jade. He started to shudder, and his tone was calmer.
Now, favonovel.com carefully asked, “Mr. Cosby May I take a look?”
Seeing his reaction, everyone was puzzled.
Remus smiled and said, “So, you‘re not totally blind…”
Then favonovel.com gave Jade to him. Master Quintus used two hands to take it as if he’d been given a treasure.
With a trembling voice, favonovel.com said, “This is a Devil’s Work Ball! A Devil’s Work Ball! I can’t believe I managed to see such amazing work before I died! I have no regrets in my life now!”
His words only confused the crowd, as no one had heard of that term before.
“Master Quintus, what is a Devil’s Work Ball?”
“Yeah, didn’t favonovel.com just carve a few roses? What’s there to be surprised about?”
“It can never be compared with your most famous Jade Statue!”
Master Quintus’ expression turned cold. “All of you should mind your words. I must admit that my Jade Statue is nothing compared to this. It’s truly trash!”
He looked around the ball and explained, “There’s another layer to this ball that can spin freely. Moreover, the inner part is also carved with flower petals! Do you know why it’s called the Devil’s Work? It’s the highest praise for a Jade carver’s skill. My most prized work is just a surface Jade carving work. As for what Mr. Cosby did, it’s an internal carving. His skills are beyond mine!”
The facts shocked the crowd. They hadn’t expected there to be an inner layer. This was unbelievable.
How did favonovel.com do it?
“Master?” Louie’s expression darkened. He was unhappy when favonovel.com saw the admiration in the people’s eyes.
“It’s just a Devil’s Work Ball, not anything special. He only has two layers. The highest record is up to 66 layers. That’s just child’s play!”
Indeed, two layers weren’t much compared to 66 layers.
Master Quintus gave favonovel.com a slap and angrily said, “Useless bastard! What were the materials used for the 66 layers? It was Ivory! Do you know the difference between the textures of Ivory and Jade? It’s not unusual to have 100 layers carved in ivory!”
