All-rounder Artist

During the past seven days when everyone at Shadow Studio worked themselves to exhaustion, the online discussions about Tribe, Shadow, the Alliance, and even the backstabbing of Tianmen and Yeshenchen, never ceased.

This mega-scandal involving various capitals, magnates, and even the entire comic industry provided countless people with something to talk about over tea or dinner...

The eighth day arrived.

8 AM!

On an online forum.

"Speaking of which, it’s the eighth day today. The Alliance remains the same, and the idea of Shadow replacing the new works of Tianmen and Yeshenchen with two comics is unrealistic as expected."

"Pfft!"

"Still concerned about that?"

"Are there really people foolish enough to wait around for that?"

"Obviously, this was never going to happen. This round truly goes to Tribe Comics. Shadow simply doesn’t want to accept the reality yet. But it’s understandable. Such a huge setback would cause anyone to crumble. Let’s just pray that Shadow updates ’Detective Chu Yu’.

This comic is no worse than Tribe’s popular works. If it weren’t for the traffic issues of the Alliance, the popularity of this comic might be even higher!"

"By the way!"

"Have you guys checked out the works of Tianmen and Yeshenchen? Setting aside their character, the quality of their new works is quite good. Plus, with Tribe Comics pouring resources into their promotion, their popularity is quite high."

"I checked them out too. They are indeed good!"

"If these two had released their new works through the Alliance, it certainly would have helped the Alliance handle a lot of traffic. It’s a pity that in the end, they chose to use the Alliance as a stepping stone to rise in the ranks of Tribe."

"..."

Everyone doubted this affair from the beginning, and whenever it was brought up recently, there were always expressions of regret.

As the netizens have pointed out:

The new works of Yeshenchen and Tianmen are very popular now.

This is due to both the quality of their work and the allocation of site resources.

Tribe’s promotion of these two also carries the intention of annoying Shadow and the Alliance.

Everyone could see that.

Just as the forum was getting lively, suddenly, a post appeared:

"Hurry up and check out the Alliance site, Shadow has released three new works!"

Thump!

All the netizens who saw the post felt their heartbeats spike.

Then.

They instinctively opened the Alliance site...

Whoosh!

The Alliance Comics Website!

Two banners, each nearly covering half of the website, appeared before everyone’s eyes!

In an instant!

Everyone’s eyes widened!

Two banners, neatly arranged.

The first banner was dominated by an orange background!

The Nine-Tailed Fox established the style of the entire picture with its most elegant posture, and in front of it stood numerous figures!

Naruto... Sasuke... Sakura... Kakashi...

Of course, netizens who have not started reading the comics would not recognize these characters, but that does not stop them from being stunned by the promotional image.

Shadow’s drawing skills are so amazing!

The impact that seems to break out of the picture is too powerful!

Below the image!

In bold, breath-taking letters:

[Shadow’s new work: "Naruto"!!!!!!]

"..."

With great difficulty, everyone’s gaze moved to the second banner!

A blue ocean formed the backdrop of the entire picture, making a stark contrast with the orange hues of "Naruto".

In the center of the picture.

Luffy held his straw hat, revealing only half of his face; next to him was Zoro with green seaweed-colored hair, his tough face accompanied by a sword hilt in his mouth, presenting a cool classic three-sword style; there was also Nami’s grand navigator image and her perfect figure...

These were also characters that the netizens did not recognize yet.

But they had an equally stunning and beautiful style!

Shadow’s drawing skills were thoroughly demonstrated in these two promotional images!

Below that.

There were these tangible words:

[Shadow’s new work: "One Piece"!!!!!!]

Sharp-eyed netizens even noticed a semi-transparent figure connecting the two images!

That was Chu Yu’s figure from "Grim Reaper Elementary Student"!

On his left was Naruto, on his right was One Piece, linking the three comics into a joint promo!

Orange hue, flames leaping!

Blue hue, waves crashing!

Everyone was stunned at this moment!

Innumerable eyes darted back and forth between the two shocking and glorious banners!

Coming to their senses!

Astonishment suddenly covered everyone’s expression!

Triple release!?

Shadow really did a triple release!

He hasn’t given up!

One Piece?

Naruto?

Are these the two works he said will replace Yeshenchen and Tianmen?

How is that possible!

What could he draw in seven days!?

"My God!"

In tremendous shock, someone suddenly discovered an even more terrifying fact: "Take a look at the style of these two manga covers, don’t tell me they are both King’s Path mangas!"

Everyone was stunned, followed by scalp tingling!

Goosebumps appeared all over!

From the style of the covers alone, it seems like it is really the case!

The same King’s Path route as Tianmen and Yeshenchen?

This is absolutely insane!

Not only did he draw two new manga in seven days, but he also chose the battle-oriented King’s Path route, the same as Tianmen’s and Yeshenchen’s!

Shadow never drew any battle-focused manga before, right? Stay connected via Freewebnovel

"Is this going to work???"

"When would one add difficulty to oneself like this at such a time!?"

"As comparable as Fish Papa using the Sherlock Holmes theme song on the charts!"

"But Shadow is not a freak like Xian Yu. Even if it wasn’t a battle-style manga, I think he wouldn’t succeed, not to mention him stepping into a genre he never touched before!"

"These two works are clearly targeted at Tianmen and Yeshenchen!"

"To surpass Tianmen and Yeshenchen with new works, the popularity of these two pieces must reach the level of the Grim Reaper Elementary Student!"

"..."

No manga artist can achieve this!

Crafting a piece like the Grim Reaper Elementary Student is enough to laugh at the entire manga world!

But three of such works?

The entire manga industry must kneel!

Wait...

Dammit!

What are you dragging out for!

Why not just see if he can do it!

No more debates!

No more judging!

Everyone hurriedly moved their mouses!

Based on the first impression of the covers.

Some people clicked on ’One Piece’!

Some people clicked on ’Naruto’!

There were slightly more people who clicked on ’Naruto’.

Because the art style of ’One Piece’ gave a bizarre feeling.

As a proportion of netizens began to read these two manga separately.

The news of Shadow’s triple release in the Alliance, like a showers of blossoms from a heavenly woman, quickly spread throughout the entire web!

Flick flick flick!

The entire web was stunned!

All gazes were simultaneously drawn over, and the servers of the Alliance started to become unstable for a time!

At the same time!

The Tribe also received news!

Tribe Comics.

CEO’s office.

Ling Kong summoned all the most experienced editors in the department to the meeting room in one breath.

It also included the unimpressive-looking man from last time:

"You should know your tasks!"

As he said these words, Ling Kong’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Even he didn’t know what was going on...
