Each day, Yuan Zhou would practice sculpting. For him, there was no end to the path of knife skills. This was an outlook similar to what many wuxia novels would have.
His skills might be good now, but he could always be better.
In fact, Yuan Zhou's knife skills were absolutely top tier. Therefore, when outsiders saw him practicing, they would think that he was simply showing off his skills while he was still constantly improving.
An example was the new goal Yuan Zhou set for himself yesterday: to create a sculpture that would either look like a Guanyin or an Arhat from different angles.
Simply put, when one looked at the sculpture from the front, it would look like Guanyin, and when one looked from the right, the sculpture would look like Arhat. Extreme attention to detail would be required.
