Chapter 1358: Chapter 1133: Preparing for Shadow’s Solo Art Exhibition

Everyone says Shadow is a nobody.

Lin Yuan knows better.

Shadow’s current standing can hardly be considered “transparent.”

Shadow is a painter with master-level skills, a rarity on Blue Star with fewer than five such individuals across the entire planet.

And let’s not forget Shadow’s almost mythical “Paintfection” ability.

Using this skill as the foundation, Shadow created seven Painting Soul series works, which are sought after by elite circles and impossible to acquire for most.

From this perspective—

Ranking twenty-first is far below Shadow’s actual abilities.

If we were to compare all the painters across the continents based on pure skill, even without using the Paintfection ability, Shadow would be ranked at least in the top five.

However, the rankings take many different factors into account.

What hurts Shadow the most is the lack of public influence.

The Painting Soul series is highly impressive, yet netizens across the continents are barely aware of its existence—it’s practically exclusive to the ultra-wealthy.

It makes sense, though.

After all, there are only seven works in the Painting Soul series.

Two of them are privately held and rarely shown.

The remaining five are displayed in the top-tier suites of the Yu Dynasty Hotel, where a single night costs half a million, and bookings are perpetually full.

Ordinary people can’t even dream of seeing these paintings.

Even wealthy individuals who don’t quite reach the top tiers have no chance.

It’s like walking in magnificent clothes in the dead of night—how could public influence possibly arise from that?
