Chapter 242 One's Own Strength
The even more powerful melody collided with the four gentlemen and Ye Ru, causing Ye Ru's body to tremble violently and his book to shake violently.
puff!
At that moment, Mr. Zhong seemed to have been struck by a heavy hammer; his face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing the sudden turn of events, the entire hall fell silent, and the smile that had just appeared on the scholar's face froze instantly.
Everyone knows that if one of the five people makes a mistake, then it's a failure!
The entire arena fell silent. Ye Ru was dizzy from the heavy impact, while the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) began to emit a faint light, resisting the attack of the phoenix in flight.
"What's going on? How can this guqin have such powerful musical force!"
Yu Mengyang's expression changed drastically as he watched the phoenix spread its wings again. He then looked at Mr. Zhong, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
"It's over..."
Two words came to mind, and Yu Mengyang's face seemed to have aged considerably.
He knew what the Five Tones Realm meant to Yingtian Academy: it meant there was hope to restore Yingtian Academy to its former glory.
But now all efforts have been in vain. No one expected that the phoenix in the guqin seemed to have intelligence. It first retreated to advance, and after absorbing the musical power of the four masters, it waited for the four masters' talent and musical ability to decline before suddenly bursting forth.
The room fell silent, all eyes filled with regret, while the teachers from Yuzhang Academy wore expressions of schadenfreude.
This unexpected turn of events was something they hadn't anticipated; after persisting for so long, they ultimately failed.
The phoenix spread its wings, looking down at the world with an air of superiority. Although the five notes of the pentatonic scale, Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu, emitted five-colored light, they were quite dazzling and mocking in the eyes of the crowd.
"All our efforts have been in vain."
The Grand Scholar let out a long sigh and murmured.
The remaining two gentlemen and Yu Mengyang all felt a sense of defeat; they were completely unable to continue.
The entire square was unusually oppressive, making everyone afraid to speak. Although the teachers from Yuzhang Academy wore mocking expressions, they dared not say anything more because the Grand Secretary was present.
Amidst the oppressive atmosphere, a voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence:
"Mr. Yu, I am still capable. How about I test my skills with this guqin?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Scholar and the others widened their eyes, especially when they saw Ye Ru's extremely serious face, and suddenly realized that the other party was not speaking without reason.
"Chief Ye, are you really capable?"
Yu Mengyang's expression also showed a hint of hope.
"I don't know. Su Qin, who was once a semi-saint, sought an audience with the Zhou emperor but was not received. He then devoted himself to studying military strategy, often until late at night. Sometimes he would read until midnight and acquire a great deal of knowledge. This is perseverance. King Goujian of Yue also endured hardship and humiliation before defeating Fuchai in one fell swoop. Although I am not confident in defeating him, I would like to give it a try."
Ye Ru replied that although he did not understand the Five Tones Realm, the four gentlemen had already done it once before, so he had a general idea. In any case, it was better than sitting here doing nothing.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mengyang and the others all took a deep breath, their expressions shifting. They didn't believe Ye Ru could really do it, but there was nothing they could do now.
"If I have done my best but still could not achieve it, I can have no regrets."
Ye Ru glanced at the phoenix spreading its wings, then looked at Yu Mengyang and the others, and said anxiously.
"Fine, I'll take this bet with you today!"
Yu Mengyang nodded, gritting her teeth, and said, "Even Ye Ru has this ambition, yet I have lost my composure in front of so many academies."
"it is good!"
Ye Ru nodded, and continued to urge the Taihe Qin on. A series of melodies were released, and his talent swept out without reservation, aiming at the phoenix along with the melodies.
Seeing Ye Ru begin to act, Yu Mengyang and the others also looked solemn. He said to the other two gentlemen:
"If Ye Ru can suppress this phoenix, then the three of us joining forces can create the Realm of Five Tones!"
The teachers in the academy were also taken aback when they saw this.
Unexpectedly, this young scholar actually wanted to suppress the phoenix by himself. Although they admired Ye Ru's talent, the current situation was beyond his ability to handle.
"Just wait and see if you can lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot. Trying to attract attention and doing something you know is impossible is simply courting death."
Some of the gentlemen scoffed and said...
Ye Ru's sonic power spread towards the phoenix. The phoenix seemed to sense Ye Ru's intention and struggled even more. Waves of sonic power swept towards Ye Ru, causing his book palace to tremble.
"The Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, please help me."
Ye Ru murmured, and as soon as he finished speaking, the Siku Quanshu seemed to be summoned and began to emit light again. The music within it was directly captured and transformed into tangible music, which was continuously transmitted to the Taihe Qin.
Everyone wore a solemn expression, and Ye Ru was also extremely cautious. He continuously channeled his talent and musicality, and although he had the help of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, the consumption within his body was becoming increasingly severe.
Everyone held their breath, eager to see if Ye Ru could successfully construct the Five Tones Realm. The Grand Scholar and Yu Mengyang, among others, couldn't help but feel apprehensive upon seeing Ye Ru's pale face.
Zheng~
A guqin melody resounded, and the music of Xiaoxiang Water and Clouds was played once again. The melodious sound of the guqin brought the phoenix back to silence.
But the phoenix was quiet for only a moment before it began to struggle again, sending waves of sound crashing down on Ye Ru, making his face turn ashen and his body sway.
"The Soul of the Qin!"
Ye Ru gave a low shout, and the spirit of the zither suddenly emerged from the Taihe Zither, opening its enormous body, leaving everyone in the audience stunned!
"what is that?"
"The Soul of the Qin?"
Many people were shocked when they saw the enormous spirit of the zither. They never expected that this spirit of the zither would appear in the hands of a mere student!
"How did Ye Ru acquire the soul of the zither?"
After a long while, Yu Mengyang recovered from her shock, then swallowed and said.
When the Grand Scholar in charge of the Five Tones saw the spirit of the zither, his heart suddenly raced, and a look of excitement appeared on his face. He never expected that Ye Ru would be able to complete this task all by himself.
Regardless of whether the Five Tones Realm can be successfully constructed, today will surely be recorded in history!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ru forced himself to stand, looking at the arrogant phoenix, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising in his heart:
"I refuse to believe I can't deal with you, you beast!"
