*Clap clap*

Moments after Fei Yuyan played her three musical notes, Senior Zou suddenly started clapping, and she spoke in a praising voice, “I don't even know where to start, Disciple Fei. I've watched your performance in the competition before, and if I'd just listened to your performance with my eyes closed, I'd never have guessed that you're the one playing sitar.”

After taking a deep breath, he continued to speak, “If you participated in the previous competition in your current condition, I have no doubt that you will be able to reach the first place easily! Ten points from me!”

“Thank you for your praise, Senior Zou.” Fei Yuyan stood up and bowed to him.

A few seconds later, Elder Jing said, “Although this is the first time I've seen you play the zither, I have no doubt to claim that you are as talented as Ai Wan and Wei Kang after listening to those three musical notes alone. Ten points from me too, and I'm happy to see what else you have for us later.”

"Thank you, Elder Jing." Fei Yuyan said to him before turning to look at Song Ling’er, who was looking at him with a deep expression.

After a moment of silence, Song Ling’er spoke, "You ... Where did you learn to play the zither?"

“Eh?”

To his surprise, as well as everyone there, Song Ling’er asked him a question instead of giving his verdict.

“I learned to play the sitar myself because it was originally just a hobby, Senior Song.”

Hearing her response, Song Ling’er continued to ask, "How do you usually practice?"

“I don't have a special exercise routine, and I only practice by playing the zither normally”a few hours each week. However, I have changed a lot recently by practicing with my partner, who has contributed a lot to my improvement.” Fei Yuyan explained.

‘This girl ... she managed to achieve high level zither art without a proper master? And he was also from the Dragon Essence Temple? Why are there so many talented musicians in the Dragon Essence Temple when they simply do not deserve to be there?!?!’ Song Ling’er cried inwardly after realizing that Fei Yuyan was mostly another genius with the same talent if not greater than her current students, and his jealousy towards the Dragon Essence Temple increased again.

After a moment of silence, Song Ling’er finally gave his verdict, "Nine points away from me."

"Thank you, Senior Song!" Fei Yuyan bowed to him.

"Wow! She actually received nine points from Senior Fairy Song! Does this mean Senior Fairy Song recognizes the talent of Fairy Fei similar to her own student?”

"Well, he definitely deserves it!"

“If his partner doesn't drag him down, there's a high chance his team will be the top 10” even the top 3!”

Meanwhile, Ai Wan and Wei Kang turned to look at Fei Yuyan with narrowed eyes, wondering if she was the one Song Ling’er talked about when she warned them about a genius ‘extraord’ who would enter the competition.

A while later, all the spectators turned to look at the next participant's somewhat slender figure wearing a black jade mask on his face.

"Whatwhat what? Why is he wearing a mask?”

“What a weirdo. He's even the only person wearing a mask there.”

The people there had already started to look down on Yuan even before his performance began.

‘Yes pardon ..’ Senior Zou sighed inwardly, wondering what would happen now that they had finally achieved this unknown miracle that could even defeat Song Ling’er in a one-on-one battle.

“T-Wait a minute! I recognised! He was in the park yesterday!”

Someone among the crowd suddenly shouted in a surprised voice, making the surrounding people dumbfounded.

"The garden? What park?”

"Oh! I was there too! He was the one who was challenged by Senior Fairy Song to a zither battle, even defeating him one on one!”

“Omong empty what is it? Senior Fairy Song is the number one zither expert in the Lower Heaven! It was as if someone in this place could defeat him in a one-on-one sitar fight!”

“Trust me, I completely understand why you are suspicious because I would also be suspicious if I didn't witness it myself, but once you listen to him play the zither, I'll listen to him play the zither, You'll understand what I'm saying is true! I couldn't sleep last night because the zither music stuck to my head!”

“”

Song Ling’er's brows twitched uncontrollably after hearing the crowd's conversation, yet there was nothing she could say about it.

“Ehem!”

Senior Zou suddenly cleared his throat loudly, causing small ripples to sweep across the place, quickly silencing the noise.

"Continue. You can start.” elder Jing said to Yuan shortly after the place calmed down, completely unaware of the other two judges acting a bit strange.

Yuan nodded his head and proceeded to place his fingers gently on the strings without actually touching the strings.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan drew the strings with his fingers, creating three musical tones that actually sounded as if they were just one note, almost like he was playing three tones simultaneously, he said, and the voice of another world resounded in that place.

When the audience heard this musical note, their eyes immediately widened in shock, because somehow they could see the image of a very beautiful flower field in front of them.

“A-What the hell? Did I see anything? Why did I suddenly see a flower?”

“I saw it too! The whole area is filled with beautiful flowers!”

"I-This is …"

The eyes of the judges were shocked when they realized what had happened.

“The music record is so deep that it creates an illusion for anyone who hears it! This level of zither art is truly legendary! And as far as my knowledge is concerned, only the Kecapi Goddess managed to produce this phenomenon before, and she managed to achieve this same phenomenon just by using an ordinary zither!” Senior Zou subconsciously stood on the platform and looked at Yuan with a gawking expression.
