Heaven-defying Skills

On the second day of the competition, the area outside the imperial city was not small. In order to listen to the sounds of nature at close range, many people stayed here last night. Those who came here every day at dawn were shocked to find that the terrain was not to mention good. , it would be nice to have a location. ♦♦  ♦♦

However, this was a bitter experience for the contestants from the three major empires. The enthusiastic crowd was right there in the middle of the night, and even though the pavilion they lived in was far away from the center stage, they did not reject it. The noise reached their ears, not to mention that in order to prevent accidents, the escorts stayed up all night. Although the Blazing Empire had sent a small army to station there, after all, its own people were more trustworthy.

When Han Fengxue and the others came over, the city was already covered by dark clouds. The second round of competition was slightly different from the first round, with a draw of lots, which required some luck.

The drawing of lots was presided over by the prince of the empire, King Xiaoyao, who was also Ao Xiaoyun's father.

Prince Xiaoyao waved to everyone and said: "For the second round of the competition, representatives from various countries will be invited to the stage."

Aunt Bing nodded to the four of them, and Han Fengxue walked up slowly. There was a smooth crystal table placed on the high platform. On it, twenty golden plaques shone brightly, and the plaques had already been numbered. They are from one to ten, and those who draw the same number will compete on the same stage.

The young man with deep purple eyes was not polite at all. He took the first step and took a number plate from the table. It was still on the foot of the table, with the word nine written on it, number nine. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he walked to the stage with a confident smile. He walked down, not even bothering to see who his opponent was.

Then, everyone grabbed the number plate one after another. Han Fengxue spread it out in the palm of his hand, and there was a six character, number six, while Bing Xinyun beside him opened his mouth.

Han Fengxue turned her head and took a look. The word "nine" on it was particularly conspicuous. She suddenly drew the same number as the man with deep purple eyes, number nine. Bing Xinyun glanced at the young man in the audience and smiled bitterly. Her luck was not ordinary. She also saw everyone playing yesterday, and No. 9, a young man with deep purple eyes, undoubtedly left a deep impression on her. He was definitely the seeded player.

Han Fengxue and Bing Xinyun glanced at each other, giving An Tianming a look that looked at everything, and then put his No. 6 card on the table. With a glance, another No. 6 card had already been turned out, and it was in his hand. First left position.

Looking along the number plate to the owner who drew it, Han Fengxue's eyes slowly opened wider, and soon a strange smile appeared in his eyes, while the other person's eyes were dull and even more strange, even if he touched He didn't want to touch Han Fengxue in anyone's hands, because he no longer had confidence in Han Fengxue's hands, and he was Qi Hai.

Han Fengxue turned her eyes to Gu Han and Ke Yun again, and saw a slight smile in Gu Han's eyes, looking confident, but Ke Yun's face was not very good-looking, even more exaggerated than Bing Xinyun. Han Fengxue looked at the number plate next to him, No. 3, and then scanned the table, and instantly found another No. 3. That was the seed player of the Sword God Empire, a young man who put him under extra pressure. .

Han Fengxue sighed helplessly. It seemed that the ranking of the Blazing Empire could only be won by Han Fengxue and Gu Han. Bing Xinyun and Ke Yun were definitely hopeless.

In the first game of the competition, three groups were played together, the second game was the same, and the third game was divided into four groups. The referees were still Bing Auntie, each of whom was responsible for one group, but no players from their own country were allowed to participate. Although they do not dare to cheat blatantly, if the two players are so close in strength that ordinary people cannot judge, there is no guarantee that they will not take sides.

The competition venue was different from yesterday. Four shorter stages around the high platform were held at the same time. In the first competition, the contestants from numbers 1 to 3 were drawn to compete. When the contestants walked onto the stage, thunderous sounds sounded around them. The applause increased their momentum. Among the three high platforms, the one with the largest crowd is undoubtedly the third stage where Ke Yun is. One is because Ke Yun is a member of the Blazing Empire, so he naturally attracts more attention. The other reason is because Someone had seen the strength of the young man from the Sword God Empire yesterday, and naturally knew that he was the strongest in the first round.

Han Fengxue also paid special attention to that game. As soon as the sword-shaped young man started playing, he was full of passion, wild and uninhibited, with the potential of thundering with blood. Around him, Han Fengxue felt layers of excitement. The sword energy rippled in all directions, moving vertically and horizontally. The whole tune was very majestic and made people's blood boil. Han Fengxue secretly compared the other party with himself and found that he was not as good as the other party in terms of determination and determination, but he also had his own advantages.

After the song was played, the audience gave him wild cheers and screams. His strength was recognized by everyone, but he didn't care at all. His expression was indifferent and he slowly walked down. Ke Yun came on stage next. Playing was much bleaker, not because he was not strong, but because his opponent was too strong, and he himself also lacked self-confidence due to a blow to his confidence, which added to another failure. Although he was a member of the Blazing Empire at the same time, the audience gave him His applause was far less enthusiastic than before. People always admire the strong. On the stage, there are no boundaries.

Without any suspense, Ke Yun was eliminated. Next, No. 4, 5 and 6 will prepare to appear. No. 6 Han Fengxue and No. 5 Gu Han are both competing in this round. Ke Yun’s opponent is from the Sword God Empire. Han Fengxue took a look and saw that he was actually one of the nine people who had entered the marrow realm. Seeing Gu Ao's victory in sight, Han Fengxue smiled. It seemed that Gu Han was indeed hiding his strength.

Gu Ao was the first to appear, and Han Fengxue was the second. The time difference gave Han Fengxue some time to listen to Gu Ao's piano music. Facing an opponent who had entered the marrow realm, how could he hide his strength? As for Qi Hai, he was directly filtered out by him.

Gu Ao's voice was lonely, like a lonely traveler searching in loneliness, and at the same time it was soft and stable, without any waves, which made the audience a little uninterested, but some people still had bright eyes, high interest, and even slightly closed their eyes, listening to this touch of Gu Ao's piano music quietly, while the referee on the side opened his eyes even wider. Gu Han did not show anything in the first round, but this time he showed everyone his extremely solid foundation and his inner heart. The audience felt more and more profound the more they listened, and in the end, they were completely immersed in the piano music. The piano music communicated with the soul and produced a resonance that complemented each other. This was pure and beautiful piano music without any impurities.

Han Fengxue knew clearly that Gu Han, like him, did not learn complicated piano skills at the beginning, but first improved his piano skills to the marrow level. Only in this way can the foundation be so solid.

"I wonder who his teacher is." Han Fengxue was eager to meet this senior.

Qi Hai finally finished playing absent-mindedly. The few applause made his cold heart even colder. He has always been arrogant and has been treated as a genius by others. He himself has the vanity of being superior to others. He was ready to show his talent, but he didn't expect that Han Fengxue would scorn him before he could gain a firm foothold, and even his Warcraft partner was killed.

Frustrated, he still held out hope to look forward to a grand plan in the piano competition, but the reality was like a sharp dagger, piercing deep into his bones, cold to the bottom. There were nine masters in the marrow realm, and there were still five or six other contestants who were as strong as him. Unless he was very lucky, he might be able to enter the final round, but even if he entered, he would definitely not go far. The fact was cruel. He met the person who frustrated him in the first round, and the other party's achievements in piano art were far superior to his, which made him completely discouraged and his ambition was wiped out.

Han Fengxue also noticed his playing in his spare time. He smiled slightly, walked onto the stage, sat upright to take the piano, closed his eyes and plucked the strings. His movements were still so elegant and harmonious that people could see them at a glance.

A hint of friendly smile appeared on his handsome face. As Han Fengxue's fingers plucked, a high-pitched sound of hitting the water slowly sounded. The great river flows eastward and the waves wash away everything. The heroes of the ages will lead each other.

Han Fengxue finished the song easily, just as a training session.

He stepped down the steps with a smile, just in time to meet Gu Ao's smile.

"Passed?"

Gu Ao nodded. Although the result has not been announced yet, he can already foresee his victory.

In the third round, Bing Xinyun's battlefield No. 9 naturally became the focus of Han Fengxue's attention.

Bing Xinyun walked onto the stage gracefully, and the sound of exclamation continued.

"So beautiful!"

"What a beautiful woman in the world!"

"The country is so beautiful!"

Bing Xinyun smiled calmly, took out the guqin, and played a moving song.

It must be said that Bing Xinyun's performance this time has exceeded her level. She put down her burden and was going to lose anyway, but she was calm and peaceful, and fully expressed her feelings in the sound of the guqin.

Han Fengxue's heart was beating wildly, and his eyes were filled with deep admiration. From Bing Xinyun's piano music, he could clearly hear that it was telling the story of his encounter with him. A girl was so bold that she showed her love in front of the public without any concealment. Han Fengxue felt an impulse to rush to the stage to confess to Bing Xinyun.

Bing Xinyun walked off the stage and smiled sweetly at Han Fengxue, and everything was self-evident.

The purple-eyed young man did not disappoint everyone's expectations. The music was still like his personality, flying proudly, boiling and surging, like waves of soul-stirring drums. Every time he heard his piano music, his blood would flow rapidly, and his whole body seemed to have endless energy and burning blood.

After the end of this group of games, it also meant the arrival of the finals. Han Fengxue and Gu Han both advanced to the finals as expected, and the other two naturally could not escape the fate of being eliminated. In addition, the list of finalists included two people from the Blazing Empire, two people from the Knight Empire, and three people from the Sword God Empire and the Cangyue Empire.

Tomorrow, the much-anticipated final will be held outside the Imperial City, striking at everyone's inner expectations.
