Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Stay Back

In fact, even if Jiang Fan backed down, he wouldn’t allow it.

Why was he lowering himself to compete with a Waste Spirit Root?

Was it not to crush his spirit?

Was it not to show Gong Caiyi how mediocre her favored person was?

When it was time for results, did he want to run?

Dream on!

Jiang Fan touched his nose and said, “I suggest you take the initiative to give up.”

Learning someone else’s Earth-level middle-grade Cultivation Technique and then using it to win against them.

It’s somewhat bullying.

But to others, these words sounded like retreating.

Ming Youlian couldn’t help but laugh and said to Gong Caiyi, “Sect Master Gong, you just said that our Heavenly Sound Sect was bringing humiliation upon itself.”

“I have never understood.”

“I understand now.”

“Our Heavenly Sound Sect’s esteemed Chief Disciple, comparing with a coward who talks tough but flinches at the last moment.”

“It is indeed insulting to one’s status.”

Yuan Zhiyu wanted to defend Jiang Fan.

If Jiang Fan had given up initially, she could have questioned the fairness of the competition and excused him.

But now, after two hours of enlightenment, retreating at this moment was indefensible.

The people outside the hall were also a bit puzzled.

Why did Jiang Fan just now think of giving up?

Too late, isn’t it?

Fu Chaohun sneered inwardly, really wanting to quit now?

Having spoken harshly, at the moment of confrontation, do you want to run?

He gave a gentle smile, “Junior Brother Jiang, it’s just a common exchange.”

“Winning or losing is not important, why care so much?”

“Do your best, whatever you comprehend is fine.”

“I won’t laugh at you.”

Jiang Fan plucked the zither strings and pondered, “You should go first.”

He wanted to see the difference between Fu Chaohun’s display and his.

The same musical score technique, though there may be differences, shouldn’t be too large?

“No problem.”

Fu Chaohun agreed readily.

He sneered inwardly, now Jiang Fan could only delay.

But under so many eyes, could he delay this difficulty?

He then sat cross-legged, placed the Ancient Zither on his knees, calmed his mind, and regulated his state.

His whole being quickly became tranquil.

Like a pond caressed by the spring breeze, without ripples.

But, in the next moment.

Strum——

As his fingers swiftly swept over the zither strings, two intense and sharp sounds, like cold knives drawn in the dark night, pierced the soul!

The unprepared crowd had their hearts skip a beat.

Then, the zither sound grew increasingly rapid!

An overwhelming sensation, like warhorse iron hooves trampling icy rivers, rushed towards them.

As the zither sounds reached their peak.

The sound suddenly shifted.

The low thumping and humming zither sounds, like clashing knives and swords.

The multitude seemed to see, in front of their eyes, billowing smoke, thousands of troops wielding war knives, fighting bloodily on vast plains!

Amidst the grandeur and fury, listeners became intensely emotional.

They felt as if they were in the scene!

Thud——

But at this moment.

Fu Chaohun pressed down on the zither strings with his five fingers.

The myriad sounds of the world ceased, and the many scenes vanished instantly.

Yuan Zhiyu snapped back to reality, her breath still rapid, after a few deep breaths, she calmed down slightly.

Feeling a breeze, she found her back soaked with sweat.

“Such profound zither sounds, completely guiding my emotions.”

She felt a pang of fear.

If in battle, hearing such zither sounds, could she still maintain a calm state to face the enemy?

However, what she feared even more.

Her pupils contracted as she discovered the hall’s perfectly smooth granite floor.

Sometime during the performance, faint scratches had appeared.

“These are …” she covered her red lips in shock.

Gong Caiyi nodded slightly, approvingly, “Indeed, a prodigy of the Heavenly Sound Sect.”

“The zither sound turns into swords, harming without form.”

“Among the elders in the Heavenly Sound Sect, few can achieve this.”

Although she didn’t quite like this person.

She couldn’t deny the other’s proud talent in music, surpassing the Nine-Sect.

Yi Lianxing and others outside the hall were also deeply shocked.

Especially as they stared at those zither-sound-carved scratches, they were even more astonished.

If Fu Chaohun were their enemy.

They would likely have been cut to pieces by the zither’s sound long ago.

Chu Xingmeng took a deep breath, deeply worried:

“Senior Brother Jiang will have a hard time winning.”

Qin Caihe sighed slightly, “This time, Junior Brother Jiang indeed underestimated Fu Chaohun.”

“To become a legendary prodigy, how could he lack genuine skills?”

Such astonishing attainment had already impressed everyone present.

No longer held out any hope for Jiang Fan.

Ming Youlian proudly said, “Sect Master Gong, you underestimated Chaohun.”

“This ‘Array-Breaking Map,’ only he has currently displayed such power.”

“Even the Sect Master does not reach half his level.”

Really?

Gong Caiyi couldn’t help but feel unsettled.

Could Jiang Fan win?

Although she highly regarded Jiang Fan’s comprehension, Fu Chaohun was truly no simple character.

Especially his ‘Array-Breaking Map’ attainment, already the first among the Nine-Sect.

No matter how genius Jiang Fan’s comprehension, could he surpass it?

She comforted, “Jiang Fan, just do your best.”

“It is your first time encountering a Sound Path Technique, and the first you face is the renowned difficult ‘Array-Breaking Map.ʼ”

“Even if you fall short of Fu Chaohun, it is not embarrassing.”

Before starting, she was already giving Jiang Fan a way out.

This showed she really had no confidence in him anymore.

Fu Chaohun smiled secretly.

Weren’t you fond of Jiang Fan? Weren’t you saying I brought about my own humiliation?

Why are you now finding reasons for his failure?

Unfortunately, mediocrity is mediocrity.

No excuse would help!

He held the Ancient Zither confidently, “Junior Brother Jiang, just do your best.”

“As Sect Master Gong said, losing to me is quite normal.”

Jiang Fan nodded slowly.

He recognized the power of Fu Chaohun’s ‘Array-Breaking Map.’

Just he didn’t know, how the technique he comprehended from the ‘Array-Breaking Map’ would compare in power.

“Alright, I’ll start.”

Jiang Fan placed the Seven-stringed Zither across his knees and reminded:

“Please distance yourselves from me, to avoid accidents.”

Yuan Zhiyu was puzzled.

Accidents?

Just playing the zither, even at Fu Chaohun’s level, it would be difficult to harm the people present, right?

But she still obediently distanced herself from Jiang Fan, moving to Gong Caiyi’s side.

Whispering, “Master, what does Junior Brother Jiang mean?”

Gong Caiyi couldn’t figure out what he was up to either, pondering, “Let’s watch and see.”

Ming Youlian chuckled, “Are you worried that your zither sounds might injure people?”

“Rest assured, you don’t have that skill.”

Fu Chaohun also dismissed it, maintained his stance opposite Jiang Fan, and said with a smile:

“If you can hurt me, it will be a testament to your abilities.”

“I won’t blame you.”

“Start your performance!”

Alright!

The opponent had said this.

Jiang Fan no longer held back.

He activated his Spiritual Power and began to play the ‘Array-Breaking Map.’

Different from the musical score Fu Chaohun saw, what Jiang Fan comprehended was the score for the ‘Tiger and Dragon Roar Technique.’

So.

As soon as he pressed the strings.

It was not the iron-horse-ice-river oppression.

But rather a fierce tiger suddenly roaring next to the ear, causing a scalp-tingling sensation!

Including Gong Caiyi.

Everyone, without exception, unprepared for it, shuddered!

Their hearts pounded wildly.
