Heaven-defying Skills

The atmosphere in the imperial capital was extremely warm and hot. Today was the day of the Four Great Empires’ Qin Art Competition. The enthusiasm of the people was unprecedentedly high. As if to match this enthusiastic atmosphere, the sky was clear and cloudless.

At this time, the imperial capital was deserted. Outside the imperial city, the competition venue was crowded with people for hundreds of miles. They raised their sleeves and sweated.

The flags of various colors clearly showed their positions. However, there were only about 10,000 people in the other three empires. In front of the millions of people in the fiery empire, the momentum seemed much dimmer.

The high platform in the center of the stadium was surrounded by people. The imperial army maintained order and vacated a large piece of open space. In the four directions, a four- or five-meter-wide avenue was cleared.

The enthusiastic crowd looked around, as if waiting for something to come. Not long after, a group of people appeared on each of the four avenues. When you walk in, you will find that these people exude different temperaments, either elegant, indifferent, or arrogant.

The appearance of these people made the atmosphere even crazier. The soldiers who were maintaining order all had a forced smile on their faces, and hot sweat kept falling from their foreheads. But they couldn't blame the enthusiasm of the crowd, they could only say that the enthusiasm was too much.

The participating team of the Blazing Empire was in the north. Aunt Bing walked in the front with a warm smile on her face. Han Fengxue and Bing Xinyun stood behind her, looking at the shouting around with a wry smile on their faces. They had never seen such a big battle. Han Fengxue even wondered in his heart why the piano art competition would attract so much attention. Among the onlookers, there were even old people and children. If they were not careful, they would even be in danger of being squeezed by the crowd.

They didn't know that the piano art competition of the four empires was held every ten years, and the four countries took turns to host it. In other words, it would take forty years for it to be held in their own country. For many people, this meant that they might only have one chance in their lifetime to see the piano art competition. I heard from the older generation that forty years ago, the piano competition held in the Blazing Empire was full of masters. Every piece of music could awe people and express the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of a person's life in the piano music. The masters could even make people unable to help themselves and get lost in the intoxicating piano music. The piano music was like the sound of nature, allowing them to experience unprecedented feelings, whether happy or sad, which was the cleansing of the soul. In their original words, I would like to shorten my life by ten years just to listen to a song that was the last song in the world. This makes the younger generations full of curiosity and expectations for the piano competition.

The contestants from the four empires all came to the stage and sat down in the prepared places around them. At this time, a group of people appeared on the north avenue again. Rows of beautiful women were throwing flowers in front of them, and then there was the fully armed Royal Guards. In the center of them, a golden dragon was swaying. On the back of the dragon, a wide purple-gold tent of four or five meters was built there. In the purple-gold tent, a short and fat middle-aged man sat upright on the soft dragon chair with a friendly and bright smile on his face. It was the emperor of the Fiery Empire.

The appearance of the emperor triggered a tsunami of applause, which was magnificent and earth-shaking.

The emperor came to the side of the stage, walked down from the dragon sedan, and walked up to the stage along the steps paved with red carpets. Suddenly, there were endless roars and cheers. For many civilians, they had almost no chance to see the emperor of the empire in their lives. At this moment, the emperor appeared in front of them. One of the most powerful people in the whole appeared in front of them. They were excited and excited from the bottom of their hearts.

The emperor waved his hand, and the gorgeous dragon robe fluttered in the breeze. The gentle smile on his face seemed to have magic power, spreading piece by piece. Everyone smiled brightly, and the roar of the whole mountain and sea slowly became low until it finally disappeared.

The emperor began to give a speech, with long speeches of welcome and encouragement. It must be said that people who engage in politics are powerful in speaking. In a few words, they can completely mobilize the emotions of the masses. One by one, their blood vessels are surging and their faces are flushed, as if they saw a naked beauty lying in front of them.

"Outstanding young people from all countries, let your passion and blood be released on this stage!" The emperor's closing words fell, and the applause was loud.

Then the contestants appeared. A total of 40 outstanding young people from the four empires walked up the steps to the stage. All of them were dressed in court aristocratic costumes. At this moment, they represented their respective countries. The youthful vigor and cheerfulness of the young people left a deep impression on the crowd.

Han Fengxue stood on the high platform, looking down at the dots under his feet. He felt a little nervous and excited, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"One day, I will stand at the real peak, not for others' worship, but for myself, my relatives and friends to live freely in the world." Han Fengxue said silently in his heart. He didn't have much ambition, but seeing his relatives leave him one by one, and his friends and teachers' eyes full of bitter tears, he found that his simple dream of freedom was actually very difficult. No matter where you go, there will always be stronger opponents in front of you, just like the water master of the Dream Building that day, who was so powerful that he needed to look up, but Han Fengxue was not pessimistic. He was still young and had time and energy to strive for that humble and simple ideal to improve and continuously improve his strength and stand at the peak.

Just when Han Fengxue was worried, he found that there were two obscure eyes swimming on him. Looking up, it was Qi Hai and Shuang Hanxue from the Knight Empire.

"They are also contestants this time." Han Fengxue's heart moved. No wonder the empire attaches so much importance to this competition. It seems that the young people participating in the piano art competition are indeed extraordinary. They are outstanding in piano art and strong in strength. As for Qi Hai and Shuang Hanxue, although they both lost to him, in the nearly four years in the imperial capital, it is rare to meet such outstanding young people. In addition, the people of other empires must not be bad. The Knight Empire in the last session was only ranked third.

Qi Hai avoided the moment Han Fengxue's eyes were cast, but Shuang Hanxue looked at Han Fengxue unconcealedly. From her appearance, the last injury has basically healed. There is less arrogance in her eyes and more provocation. Obviously, she is still brooding over the last failure and hopes to defeat Han Fengxue in piano art.

Then, it was the real start of the competition, when the young people of the four countries showed their talents

Because the first round of the competition was one by one, all the contestants from the four empires were held on the central high platform. The order was disrupted and the contestants from the four empires took turns to perform on stage.

Han Fengxue was unfortunate and lucky to be the first performer. As the first performer of the competition, the pressure he endured was naturally huge, so he was unfortunate. From another perspective, he was lucky to be the first to present the sound of the piano to everyone and the first to conquer the audience.

Han Fengxue walked up to the platform again slowly, bowed to the surroundings, slowly sat down in the prepared place, took out Feiquan Duyou, and did not use Jiuxiao Huanpei, which showed that he was very confident in his ability.

The crowd quieted down and prepared to listen to the first song of the competition. No sound was made, but even so, the crowd in the distance probably couldn't hear the piano here either. The only thing to blame was that they didn't get up early enough and didn't occupy a good position.

The moment he played the piano, Han Fengxue's temperament changed, from the calm and resolute just now to the warm and elegant. The two different temperaments changed in an instant, and the crowd was even more focused and listened attentively. Even the four judges of the four empires in front of Han Fengxue nodded. The judges were also the leaders of the four empires. This was a consensus reached by all countries over the years.

"First, let's present a joyful song to everyone." Thinking of this, Han Fengxue closed his eyes slightly, and the whole person seemed very harmonious and natural, integrated with the stars in the universe.

First, the middle finger plucked slightly, and with a sound, the sound of the piano sounded with the beating of the first note. This is a beautiful and moving song called "Smiling with a Flower", which seems to be telling the story of an ordinary and outstanding young man who traveled thousands of miles and mountains, struggling to find his dream lover. In the end, ten years later, he returned home alone and lonely. Looking back, he found that the happiness he had been looking for was actually in front of him. Isn't that childhood sweetheart, the girl who silently paid for him his dream lover? It's a pity that he didn't find it until he returned ten years later, but this also made him cherish the happy time they spent together even more.

There is joy and twists and turns in the music, and the lingering sound is soul-stirring. After the song, countless audiences were still immersed in their own fantasies. On their faces, happy smiles appeared. Although Han Fengxue did not really work hard, the music played by his attainments in the marrow realm was still memorable. For the top 20, there must be no pressure.

With a slight smile, Han Fengxue left the stage with his zither, leaving him with thunderous cheers and encouragement. The audience had a thought in their hearts: "Getting up in the middle of the night is worth it!"

After Han Fengxue left the stage, he returned to his seat and sat there easily, treating himself as an audience. Beyond everyone's imagination, the talents of this competition seemed to be far beyond imagination. The masters of the marrow realm once again made history, reaching an astonishing nine. I thought that there were two strong men in the marrow realm in the Blazing Empire this time, at least they would not suffer any loss, but I didn't expect that they were still a little behind. In the Sword God Empire, there were still three marrow contestants. It was true that there are talented people in every generation.
