9 Yan Shun Vs Ye Chen!

"It's time..."

Yan Shun murmured...

It was already night...and the song competition would happen!

"I'll receive the rewards later..." He stretched his neck...

He started walking towards the Sect's Main Arena...

After all...

A Song Competition...

Is when the disciples battle against each other using instruments...

However, their cultivation will always be sealed to the same realm!

So, however, the highest attainment in the instrument wins!

"Oh, fuck... I still didn't go to the Attribute Awakening Stone...I still don't know what my attribute is..."

He sighed...he really forgot...

He was too engrossed in his Zither Cultivation...

That he had completely forgotten about that!

Although, his progress was weaker during the day...

It was okay...

His melody only got better!

While being bathed by the sunlight, he understood the essence of the moon in his melody...

So, he actually improved it!

"Ah... I'm here..." Yan Shun said, as he looked at the entrance to the Main Arena...

However, just before the place he's supposed to enter...

Stood...Gu Youwei...

'What does she want...?'

'Honestly...besides the Fourth and maybe the Third...I don't want to talk to my Junior Sisters...'

'Especially her...'

Step...Step...

"Ah... Senior Brother..." Gu Youwei called out to him...

But...

She was abruptly ignored...

He simply entered and left her behind...

"W-wait!"

"..."

"Senior Brother, please wait!" She raised her voice...

Yan Shun could feel that really wanted to talk to him...

That she was desperate to talk with himself...

But...

Gu Youwei...was the one that actually hurt him the most...

Her words really hit his heart...

"What...?" He turned his face to meet Gu Youwei's eyes...

She was in a state of shock...almost to the point of crying...!

"I...I...I'm so sorry!" She bowed her head deeply...

Her voice was shaky and teary...

However...

"Ah..."

Step...Step...

Yan Shun simply left...

Leaving Gu Youwei who was bowing in her place...

She fell to her knees...

"I'm so sorry..." Tears were forming and falling down her cheek...

Continuously...

Meanwhile...

Yan Shun was feeling guilty...

He still deeply cared about her...

He was her Senior Brother after all...

He watched her grow...and all...

"Haaa...It's not time to cry...It's time to humiliate someone..." He corrected himself, holding back his emotions.

"I'm too emotional..."

"Now...it's time to enter the Arena..."

Yan Shun took a deep breath...

He was ready...

However, he didn't know what to expect from Ye Chen...

He was a Supreme Talent after all...

"Huff..."

Step...

He entered the Main Arena...where Ye Chen was already waiting...

And the audience...was huge!

All the elders... including the Zither Fairy were present...

And obviously...

[New target acquired!]

[Zhao Ya's Affection: Strangers!]

'Zhao Ya...?'

She is one of the Seven Divine Fairies so...

Obviously, she would appear on the Affection List!

"Now...that the two disciples are present...! We'll firstly explain the rules!" The Sect Leader announced!

"First...You can't use your Qi to attack the opponent! You can only channel it to your instrument!"

"Second...! Each one can't use external items. Pills are completely banned!"

"And finally...which is not exactly a rule..."

"Whoever wins...Will have a private class with the Zither Fairy!" He announced, his voice propelling to each disciple's ears.

"WHAT!?"

"Yeah! Why was I the one to use my Special Token to challenge one of them!? I could have a private class with that Divine Fairy!"

"Imagine being alone with the Zither Fairy!? That would be a dream coming true!"

All the disciples were speechless!

Having a private class with the Zither Fairy would simply be the best thing ever!

"It seems that Ye Chen is going to be alone with Fairy! Freaking lucky bastard!" One of the disciples said...

"Obviously! Do you think the useless Senior Brother of the Divine Sword Peak stands a chance!?"

"Haha, right? He's only at the Qi Gathering Realm!"

"I pity him!"

Many disciples obviously started making fun of Yan Shun...

He really didn't care now...

Maybe...in the past, he would threaten them with his position...

But now...

He really did not care.

His gaze landed on the disciples who were laughing, and instead of saying something...

He looked coldly at them...

They all felt a shiver running down their spine...

Yan Shun's killing intent was too fatal after all!

Meanwhile...

"Ha! So, Zither Fairy what do you think of Ye Chen!?" The Sect Leader asked with a big smile.

"Hmn...he seems to be pretty good..." She replied...

"Right? He's a Supreme Talent after all!"

"However...I'm more interested in this other disciple..." Zhao Ya's lips curved into a seductive smile...

"Huh...?" The Sect Leader was speechless!

Yan Shun was obviously mediocre...

"His killing intent...is far superior than mine...and he's only at the Qi Gathering Realm... I wonder what happened to him..." She commented.

"It makes me so interested in talking to him~" Her smile widened for a bit...

[Zhao Ya's Affection has risen up by a Tier!]

'Huh?'

His gaze switched from the disciples to the Zither Fairy...

She was looking at him with a smile...

He tilted his head in confusion...

He didn't think he really made something for her affection go to up...

However...if he really did...

That's great!

This way he can get more rewards!

"It seems that you didn't run away!" Ye Chen suddenly opened his mouth.

"Why would I run away from you?"

"Uh..." His smile was shattered...

'Dumb...I wonder how I, in the past, would get irritated by his words..'

"I thought that you would be too scared! You 'Demon'!"

Ye Chen tried to get back at him!

His smile recovered and even widened!

"Demon...I kinda like that nickname not gonna lie..." Yan Shun murmured...

However, his words reached Ye Chen's ears...

Which made him quite mad!

He could feel a bit of killing intent leaking away from Ye Chen!

"Are you two ready!?" Suddenly, the Sect Leader caught the attention of both of them with his voice.

"Yes!" Both of them replied!

"Then, I declare that the match may start now!"

At this moment...

A dark Gong Zither appeared in Yan Shun's hands!

It was beautifully designed with a grand black colour...

The Zither Fairy's eyes widened when she saw it!

She was pretty sure that Zither was special!

There was something really special about it!

However, what really bothered her was that!

It fits perfectly with Yan Shun!

Like it was created just to be played by him!

"Oh?" She raised his eyebrows...

Ye Chen took out his instrument!

It was also a Zither...and from her perspective...

It was a very expensive one!

Quality was at the top!

It should be an extremely rare Zither!

'Maybe... I really didn't waste my time by coming here...' She mused...her smile widening...

At that single moment...

Ye Chen was the first to act!

He touched a string of his Zither...

And then a wave of Qi was propelled towards Yan Shun!

Although his cultivation was sealed!

His power should be comparable to a 9th Layer Qi Gathering Cultivation!

However...

Surprisingly, his Qi wave was dejected by a simple touch on Yan Shun's Zither...

It completely dissipated...

'Huh...I knew it...' Yan Shun exclaimed inwardly...

'Maybe I do have a Zither Heart...'

—Thrum!

Ye Chen immediately started touching his melody!

Waves of Qi were immediately sent towards Yan Shun...

Which, he immediately countered with his own Qi!

Their Qi battled against each other!

Creating a weird tune...!

However...as they continued battling...

Their auras also started expanding!

Ye Chen had a bright gold aura!

While Yan Shun...had a strange completely black aura!

The disciple watched in awe...

They all were shocked!

Yan Shun was actually on pair with Ye Chen!

It was a new discovery for them!

However...

Suddenly, Ye Chen's aura raised extremedeously!

Although, it wasn't a Zither Intent or something...

It covered the whole arena...overthrowing Yan Shun's aura!

'This...Fuck!'

Although Yan Shun didn't know what happened...

He really did not want to lose...

Now...to counter a single wave, 5 waves of his own Qi were needed!

He was going to lose!

At this moment...he didn't know what to do!

But then, he remembered that Wan Meixaing's grade had reached Friends!

He would get a bonus...

"Please be useful..." He mumbled...

[Ding~~! Claiming the rewards from the target 'Wan Meixiang'!]

[Congratulations!

You have received...

Awakening Of Your Zither Heart!]

'Uh...what?'

—Thrum!

At that moment...Yan Shun's body started glowing a dark colour!

He started flying, together with his Zither!

His fingers delicately touched each string with precision!

He could feel the Zither...

As one part of his own body!

"!!!"

The Zither Fairy stood up abruptly!

Her eyes were in awe as she murmured in a shocked voice...

"A Pure...Zither Heart!"

The elder's eyes widened in shock!

Especially, Luo Xueying's!

She almost was going to cry...

Her dear disciple...actually had a Zither Heart!

Yao Meili smiled...

'This is a great view~' She murmured softly...

Meanwhile...

Yan Shun's body was completely covered with that dark colour!

He was flying...touching the strings of his Zither delicately!

Stronger waves of Qi were sent towards Ye Chen!

His aura was also slowly countering his!

But then...

In the night sky... a figure appeared...

It was an extremely beautiful woman!

Even more beautiful than his Master!

The Seven Divine Fairies couldn't compare with her!

She slowly descended from the sky to Yan Shun's side.

Then...in everyone's eyes...

She started dancing!

She danced along to Yan Shun's melody...

Upon seeing this, the Zither Fairy was even more shocked...

"Z...Zither Intent..." She exclaimed.

"WHAT?!"

Everyone was in shock!

Her voice was heard by everyone..

And also at that same moment...!

—THUD!

Ye Chen was thrown against the Arena's walls!

His body was completely disfigured...full of injuries!

Meanwhile...

As Yan Shun's melody finally ended...

He opened his eyes...and was met with the beautiful woman...

She smiled softly at him...

"I'll miss you..." She said, shocking Yan Shun.

"Please...play with your Zither during the Night..." She commented.

"I'd really love to dance with you."

With that...

She slowly kissed Yan Shun's lips...

And disappeared into nothingness...

Like she had never existed...

"So...her name is..."

"Qiuyue...?"
