Heaven-defying Skills

As spring passes and winter comes, flowers bloom and fall. It’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and the melodious sound of the piano comes from the Imperial City Piano Shop, attracting tourists.

In the piano shop, there is a young man of about fourteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face. He plays the piano with both hands and plucks the strings with his fingers, making a smooth flow. The young man was completely immersed in the piano at the moment. The guests coming in and out walked softly and could not bear to disturb the young man who was playing.

After a piece of music was played, the lingering sound lingered, and the tourists sighed, as if they still had something to say, but they were helpless because they knew that the player only played one piece of music every day.

The young man looked up at the beautiful woman beside him and said, "Aunt Bing, please help me point out the improper playing."

The people listening to the piano around were a little speechless. You are still here looking for inappropriate things every day, so what kind of face do we, the piano masters, have to go around playing the piano every day?

The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Xue Feng, your piano skills are almost impeccable at this stage, and I can't find any shortcomings."

The young man is Han Fengxue, and the beautiful woman is the boss of the Imperial City Music Store.

Since he accepted Feiquan Duyou, Han Fengxue had always felt a little uneasy about receiving no reward for his merits, so he approached the owner of the piano store and said that he was willing to play for free for a year in order to repay the favor.

But Han Fengxue discovered later that it seemed that not only was the favor not repaid, but it was getting worse. The boss's piano skills were extremely superb. After receiving instruction from Mr. Chai every day, Han Fengxue would come to the piano store to practice. After each playing session, the beautiful woman would point out his shortcomings in his playing. Until today, the boss finally couldn't figure out the problem from Han Fengxue's playing.

The relationship between the two also became closer during this period, and Han Fengxue became known as Aunt Bing. For Han Fengxue, the owner of the music store became more and more pleased with him, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

"Aunt Bing is so complimentary. Xuefeng's piano skills are still far behind. I wonder one day when I will reach the realm of entering the marrow." Han Fengxue sighed. Although he practiced very hard, he still could not touch the threshold of entering the marrow. .

"Xue Feng, at your age, it is beyond the reach of others to be able to achieve such high achievements in both technical and musical skills. With your talent, understanding and hard work, Aunt Bing believes that as long as you persist, you will be able to achieve success within five years." You will definitely be able to reach that state next year." Aunt Bing said with a disappointed look. She has been in this state for a long time, but she still has not been able to reach the state she dreamed of.

"Aunt Bing, how about I take you to find the teacher. I believe that with Aunt Bing's level and the teacher's guidance, you will be able to make a breakthrough." Han Fengxue's eyes were very sincere, although he knew that Mr. Chai did not He was willing to be disturbed, but with Aunt Bing's care for him, Mr. Chai would definitely not refuse. Moreover, since seeing Han Fengxue's Feiquan Duyou, Mr. Chai has also been a little curious about this woman who has never been masked before.

Aunt Bing shook her head and said: "No need, your teacher is a worldly expert, how dare you disturb me? Besides, if you can break through, you can't force it, just let it happen." She knew that Han Fengxue was sincere, and she was about to After a year of contact, she already knew Han Fengxue very well. She has a resolute personality, values ​​love and justice, and is decisive in her actions. As long as he approves of people, he will treat them wholeheartedly. As long as he approves of things, Lei can't be moved.

"Haha, I can hear Brother Xuefeng's music a hundred miles away. That's a big improvement. Aunt Bing, you are so mean. You didn't inform me in advance, causing me to miss Brother Xuefeng's playing." Hearty laughter Came from outside, saw a young man walking in.

The young man was dressed in fine clothes. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was bold, rugged, and a little domineering. To be precise, he should have the aura of a king.

"Brother Aoyang, Aunt Bing has just finished praising me. Please stop praising me, otherwise my tail will be raised." Han Fengxue joked.

Ao Yang was Han Fengxue's friend when he was playing at the piano store. When she saw him for the first time, Han Fengxue knew that this person must be a child of a noble family and had no intention of making friends with him. But Aoyang is familiar with Aunt Bing. After Aunt Bing's deliberate arrangement, the two have more opportunities to interact. Han Fengxue is surprised to find that although Aoyang comes from a noble family, he is heroic, righteous, informal, and polite to others. , there is no trace of aristocratic airs, and it is definitely not artificial, Han Fengxue understands Aunt Bing's painstaking efforts, and forms an irreversible relationship with Ao Yang.

"I don't care so much. You have to play a song for me, otherwise it will be easier for you." Ao Yang pretended to be serious. He admired Han Fengxue from the bottom of his heart. He heard from Aunt Bing that he was a technician and his piano skills were equally superb. Although he was a few years older, he was not as good as Han Fengxue in both aspects.

"Brother Aoyang wants to listen. What can I do, brother? I'm afraid that brother Aoyang won't destroy another restaurant." Han Fengxue said, and everyone laughed.

Once, Han Fengxue was playing in a nearby restaurant and disturbed the banquet of several noble children opposite. The other party insulted Han Fengxue. Ao Yang got angry and beat up several people. The restaurant suffered a disaster and was smashed. Bottom up.

"Ao Yang, please stop interfering. I have something serious to talk to Xuefeng."

"Oh, if Aunt Bing has anything to do, just tell her directly." This was the first time that Han Fengxue heard Aunt Bing tell him that she had something serious to do, and she couldn't help but be curious.

Ao Yang also raised his ears to listen.

At this time, Aunt Bing was no longer as careless as she was at the beginning, and said seriously: "Xue Feng, I think you have been wondering that the first time I met you, I showed you Master Ji Yun's guqin, but she didn't explain anything, but just showed Fei Quan alone. I’ll give it to you.”

Han Fengxue nodded. This had always been a doubt in his mind, and he had never asked about it. He knew that if Aunt Bing wanted to tell him, she would naturally tell him.

Seeing Han Fengxue nod, Aunt Bing continued, "Because I'm waiting for someone, someone who has extraordinary talent in playing the piano and is young, and these two conditions, Xuefeng, you just meet them, so I chose you."

Han Fengxue and Aoyang were even more puzzled, "Aunt Bing needs me to do something?" Han Fengxue couldn't help asking.

Aunt Bing nodded slowly and said to Aoyang, "Aoyang, you should know what big things will happen in four years."

"Big things?" Aoyang began to recall. Not long after, Aoyang blurted out, "The Four Empires Piano Art Competition held every ten years."

"That's right, it's the Four Empires Piano Art Competition held every ten years. This competition will be held in our Blazing Empire, and the competition requires the contestants to be under twenty years old." After speaking slowly, Aunt Bing cast her eyes on Han Fengxue.

"Since Aunt Bing has chosen me, I will definitely go all out. As for what results I can achieve, I dare not guarantee anything." Han Fengxue said straightforwardly. He has never been a person who likes to postpone and procrastinate. When it's your turn, you must face it bravely.

Aunt Bing nodded with satisfaction and said, "I really didn't make a mistake about you, Xuefeng. As long as you break through to the marrow realm one day, come to me at any time. Master Ji Yun's ancient zither Jiuxiao Huanpei should also change its owner."

Han Fengxue said unceremoniously, "Then please be ready at any time, Aunt Bing, and wait for me to take it." His tone was full of pride.

"Okay, you are worthy of being my brother." Ao Yang laughed.

Walking on the way back to the academy, Han Fengxue's mind was still ringing with Aunt Bing's words today. "The four empires' zither art competition held once every ten years must have many strange people. It's a good opportunity to see them. However, I have to find a way to break through to the marrow realm as soon as possible."

Walked to a remote corner. "Stop, a loud shout sounded." A big and a small stood in front of Han Fengxue. The big one was about twenty years old, and the small one was about the same age as him. It seemed that they had been waiting for him for a long time.

"It's you," Han Fengxue said. The boy was none other than the knight boy who wanted to kill Leng Wuya and was injured by him.

"That's right, I said I won't let you go." The young man said hatefully.

"How shameless, you beat the younger one and then the older one, and if you beat the older one, do you still need the older one to help?" Han Fengxue said with a cold smile.

"You won't be able to laugh later." The young man looked cold.

"We'll know after we try it." Han Fengxue said without showing any weakness.

"Humph," the young man sneered after hearing Han Fengxue's words. "Hush," a whistle sounded, and a giant eagle in the sky far away flew towards this side quickly, arrived in the blink of an eye, and landed on the young man's shoulder.

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. The giant eagle is faster than the little eagle. It is at least a fourth-level monster, and it is a flying beast. There is no way to escape." Han Fengxue analyzed the situation in front of him in an instant.

Seeing Han Fengxue's slightly changed eyes, the young man said proudly: "If you kowtow to my brother and admit your mistake now, maybe I will let you go." He gave Han Fengxue a way out. He also didn't want to make things too stiff. If the news spread to the academy, he would lose face. Moreover, there was no deep hatred between them. In his opinion, the hatred between Han Fengxue and his brother was just a childish competition. Unfortunately, Han Fengxue was destined not to appreciate this favor.

"Don't dream. A man can be killed but not humiliated." Although he knew that the chance was small, it would be better to kill him than to ask him to kowtow and admit his mistake.

"Hmph, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished." After saying that, a spear appeared in the young man's hand, stepped on the giant eagle, and flew towards Han Fengxue at a high speed.

Han Fengxue secretly said that it was bad. If the young man fought with him alone, he would still have some confidence, but with the fourth-level monster, the chance would be very slim. "I didn't expect him to be so cautious."

Han Fengxue didn't know that the young man repeatedly told his brother that Han Fengxue's strength was very strong, and the young man would certainly not be careless.

"Ah," with a sound of Yingming, the sharp claws grabbed Han Fengxue, and at the same time the young man's spear also stabbed at him with a cyclone.

Han Fengxue moved his body to the side, avoiding the attack of the eagle claws. He stretched out his right hand and held the spear tightly, and the power of his whole body burst out instantly.

Feeling the power coming from the spear, the young man was extremely surprised. With his strength at the peak of the third-level knight, he was actually driven by a technician. If he hadn't been quick and grabbed Ying's back tightly, he might have fallen.

The giant eagle soared into the sky. Feeling his body suspended in the air, Han Fengxue hurriedly let go of the hand holding the spear, and then fell to the ground.

"It seems that I was careless. I should have used invisible restraints just now." Han Fengxue sighed in his heart, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

After this short confrontation, the young man became more cautious. He retreated after one attack and did not give Han Fengxue any chance at all.

Feeling the rapid consumption of the elemental power in his body, Han Fengxue sighed, "It seems that he wants to drag me to death. Although I can't win, how to fail must be controlled by myself."

Thinking and doing, he put all the defense of his body on his chest. Seeing the giant eagle attacking, Han Fengxue waved his hands forward, putting his chest within the attack range of the eagle claws, and at the same time activated the fire mist skill.

Seeing Han Fengxue covered by the fire element, the young man sneered, "What if you can't see clearly? The attack of the eagle claws has arrived. It would be strange if you can dodge it."

"Bang," a clear sound came, and the fire element quickly retreated. A few seconds later, Han Fengxue's figure was revealed, lying softly on the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
