Why is my anime art style so weird?

But it's okay, because they've already been infected.

The flash of light gradually faded.

Two figures, one large and one small, began to stir.

Xu Ming quickly struck the second time.

This time it was a success!

The little devil had just turned around when his speed suddenly decreased.

He jogged slowly toward the window, but Xu Ming hit him four more times, slowing him down further.

Having finally gotten close to the window, he lunged at it.

Just then, Xu Ming tapped him again.

Immediately afterwards, his body was frozen in place.

Half of it was inside the classroom, and half was outside the window, as if it were stuck in the window, which looked quite comical.

The 'time stop' actually worked!?

How unlucky is this guy to win with a 1% probability?

Could this kid be the real chieftain's successor?

Xu Ming chuckled to himself as he ran over, stood by the window, and admired his masterpiece for a while.

Just as the 'time stop' effect was about to disappear, Xu Ming grabbed the kid's ankle.

After being caught, the brat immediately turned into a piece of 'earth essence'.

Xu Ming then cast his malicious gaze at the last remaining teacher.

The teacher looked back at Xu Ming, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.

Xu Ming returned to the wall, and the game started again, this time for the final round!

Xu Ming had no intention of delaying; he quickly recited the game's keywords.

"One, two, three, freeze!"

Before Xu Ming could even turn around, he felt a chilling sensation coming from behind him!

Without time to think, Xu Ming turned around while silently chanting to himself.

Armor of the Holy Word!

The cross on Xu Ming's chest immediately lit up, radiating a dazzling golden light.

The radiance coalesced into magnificent armor, directly covering Xu Ming's body.

As soon as he turned around, he saw that his teacher, who had been about ten steps away and a third of the way away, had suddenly appeared behind him!

At this moment, the teacher's appearance changed drastically.

His face was bruised and purple, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fingernails were like sharp daggers, each ten or twenty centimeters long!

He stretched out his arm, his sharp nails reaching for Xu Ming's neck.

This guy is going all out!

Xu Ming was greatly alarmed.

Just one glance at those gleaming, cold fingernails set off alarm bells in Xu Ming's mind, sending a powerful sense of deadly threat crashing down upon him.

You absolutely mustn't get scratched by fingernails, otherwise...

I'll die!!

Xu Ming almost instinctively squatted down, turning to the side to avoid his fingernails.

squeak!

The sharp fingernails scraped across the gleaming gold armor, producing a piercing noise, like someone scrubbing a blackboard with a steel brush.

Tiny golden fragments immediately burst from the armor.

A long, narrow mark was left on the golden armor, looking particularly glaring.

Xu Ming was greatly alarmed.

The Holy Word Armor's protective capabilities are almost at the level of the rules; even when faced with hundreds of tons of pressure, it does not deform or crack in the slightest.

Now, it's just been lightly scratched, yet it's cracked open with such a large fissure.

His fingernails, in terms of sharpness alone, have probably reached a standard level.

Having dodged the teacher's sudden attack, Xu Ming retaliated by striking with a crowbar.

The teacher was immediately affected and slowed down by 10%.

Perhaps knowing there was no chance to launch another sneak attack, the teacher glared at him hatefully, then quickly retreated and disappeared into the ceiling.

Xu Ming quickly grabbed a crowbar and started swinging it wildly at the teacher.

Out of the blue, the teacher fell for it again.

This time, he was slowed down by 50%, and instantly became like an old tortoise, slowly flying towards the ceiling above his head. It was a pity that Xu Ming was a bit short; if he had the height of Nü Zhao Riyue, she would have definitely grabbed him and brought him down.

Xu Ming didn't linger; he rushed out of the classroom, ran up the stairs, and arrived on the third floor.

He observed that the classroom below corresponded to an art room.

Upon arriving at the art room, Xu Ming immediately kicked the door open.

Bah!

Everything in the art room was suddenly laid out before us.

Easels were scattered in the middle of the classroom, each displaying a work of art at varying stages of completion.

There were some stone sculptures scattered around in the open space, perhaps for students to copy.

Finished paintings are hanging on the wall.

However, to be honest... most of the paintings are rather simple, or rather, childish.

This situation is actually quite normal.

Most of the students at this ninja school are elementary school students. Apart from those who have been learning to draw since childhood, most elementary school students are already considered quite good if they can complete a drawing.

As for the quality of the paintings, well... I can only say that the future looks promising.

Chapter 428 Cannot be found! Cannot be found!

However, when Xu Ming opened the door to the art room and took in everything inside, he immediately frowned slightly.

A strange, inexplicable feeling washed over him.

The originally childish paintings gradually became eerie under such an atmosphere.

Directly opposite the artist's door was a strange painting. The artist seemed to want to paint a majestic dragon, but unfortunately, the painting skills were extremely poor, and it instead looked like a python with many claws on its body.

What should have been a childlike painting suddenly made Xu Ming feel, for some reason, that the strange python in the painting began to writhe, its seven or eight claws shaking and coiling around him.

It seemed as if it wanted to break free from the constraints of the painting and burst out of it.

Not far to the right of this strange python is another strange, unfinished painting.

The person in the painting is a bald monster with eight arms, each holding a different weapon.

When Xu Ming looked at the painting, he immediately felt that the strange man in the painting was looking at him through the painting.

The strange man's eyes shot out a fierce look, as if he wanted to use the weapon in his hand to tear Xu Ming to pieces!

Fortunately, the painting hadn't been painted yet, otherwise the strange man might have actually jumped out of the painting and attacked him.

Those lifelike stone carvings exude an eerie aura.

Xu Ming felt that no matter which angle he moved from, the eyes of the stone sculpture would follow him.

Without any prompting, Xu Ming understood his mission.

Find the last teacher in this eerie art room.

Xu Ming cautiously stepped into the art room.

The moment he stepped into the art room, he immediately felt as if he had entered another world—dark, lonely, bizarre, absurd…

Xu Ming forced himself to calm down and carefully surveyed the scene in the art room.

The environment in the art room is not complicated. Apart from a few scattered easels, there are lifelike plaster sculptures.

Therefore, the most likely place to hide people is undoubtedly...

Xu Ming immediately focused his attention on several of the stone sculptures.

They are David holding a stone, an angel with outstretched wings bowing his head in prayer, and Venus with a broken arm.

All three stone sculptures are about the size of an adult.

In movies and TV dramas, the most common trope is that in murder cases involving art studios, the body is often hidden in a stone carving.

Xu Ming first focused his attention on David, who was holding the stone.

He walked over, picked up the crowbar, and struck the stone sculpture of David with force.

Bah!

With a loud bang, the grayish-white stone sculpture shattered instantly into a pile of small fragments, but the corpse was not inside.

Faintly, Xu Ming seemed to hear a mocking laugh coming from behind him.

Xu Ming quickly turned around, only to find that the strange figures in the paintings seemed to have come to life, each of them showing him an eerie smile.

This art room was rather eerie, and Xu Ming didn't want to stay any longer, plus time didn't allow it.

He soon arrived in front of the angel statue.

The angel is dressed in a white robe in the style of ancient Greece, with his hands clasped together as if bowing his head in prayer, and a pair of pure white wings spread out behind him, with each white feather clearly visible.

This angel statue exudes an aura of compassion and mercy.

However, Xu Ming had no compassion whatsoever.

Without hesitation, he raised the crowbar and smashed it down on the angel statue.
