Chapter 22: Music vs Sword
"Using music as a weapon, now that's really interesting"
Mo Yuanjun said when he heard the idea of Song Shi but it's difficult one
As using a tone of note (when you are playing a song) as a killing weapon is you know, something Mo Yuanjun don't know how to put things in it
Using Qi to make things hard and other stuff, but using Qi to make music as a weapon is-
The reason for this creative idea is due to the reason that, Song Shi's mother (she lost her father) used to be a musician but after some problem, let's not talk about that, she could no longer play any instrument
Thus, Song Shi wanted to use that knowledge and skills she got from her mother and show the world, the beauty of music
Mo Yuanjun have listened to many Chinese kinds of music, like the fated ending, ashes of love, etc-etc so it's not a big deal for him to create some masterpiece, but using that music and fusing your Qi into it and then using it as a weapon is difficult
Sorry, it's not difficult but almost impossible
But it was something creative so why not give it a shot?
Thus, Mo Yuanjun bought a GuZheng from somewhere, as the instrument she had were on the verge of breaking down
And with her, he learned how to use that instrument and also started creating music while trying to fuse his Qi in every single note and string
It was one hell of a task which was added on his list, as he can't guide others if he himself doesn't know the way, so his schedule was so tight that he only got 4 hours of sleep in a day
But as time passed by, he learned more and more with Song Shi
He comes to know that the amount of Qi used in every attack is far much less than he had ever thought and each and every single note or sound created an image of what is inside the heart of the user
If he wants a sword, there will be a sword, if he wants a man in armor, there will be a man in armor
The music reflects what is inside ones heart, is true
As time passed by months, Mo Yuanjun taught her various music from his life on earth and each and every single one of them were a piece of beauty
But something was changing inside Song Shi's heart also
There were times when music was considered as a job of prostitutes and it was never respected. And still, there are some effects of that thinking till this time
No doubt her friends didn't think of her like that but other disciples (inner) and people used to think of her weirdly
But among them all, Qin Shi Huang was the sole person who not only appreciated her music and her skills but also learned it himself so he could help her more.
To her, it was something different, a feeling she never thought she would have
As months passed by, she started feeling something inside her heart for Qin Shi Huang.
And it was "Love" without a doubt
She knew it herself
And she wanted to express her feelings but when she saw a girl, Quang Hanbi, with him. She stopped herself
What can she give to him?
She is poor, she has nothing with herself except this music and life can't be lived on music alone
To live we need food and water, right? And she knows it very well
She could also sense some strong aura from the girl which was with Qin Shi Huang, thus she knew that she (Quan Hanabi) is not only rich but also strong, whereas she (Song Shi) is nothing
So she stopped her movement and closed her wavering hearts and put all of her time and skills on music alone, to be strong enough that she could protect her dear ones
Also, when she knew that the GuZheng she is using is bought with the help of that girl's money, she wanted to throw it away but then again, it's the first gift she had from Qin Shi Huang.
Thus she can't throw it away
She just learned her mistakes, improved herself and trained every single time no matter what is going around her
. . .
Present time-
Song Shi opened her GuZheng and put her hands on the strings.
She started thinking about which song she should play?
'ahh, blades of GuZheng' She said in her mind when she remembered the teaching of Qin Shi Huang
[Note: Its Blade of Guqin, not GuZheng but I thought to change it a bit]
"BEGIN"
The announcer announced the battle, as Song Shi was all ready and nodded to his confirmation
Mo Chun was ready to devour or play with Song Shi's body in the name of a battle. He wanted to literally put despair in the heart of Qin Shi Huan but, something unexpected happens
*ding*
One string was pulled and the noise was created from that one string but, what that string also created is a wave of strong punch in the shape of the human hand
Which could be seen barely by naked eyes, as you need to sense it
*bang*
The punch/fist landed on the chest of Mo Chun and he stopped his steps.
"What the hell" He said as he touched his chest.
There was nothing there but still, he could feel the pain
*music*
And then, Song Shi, as told by Qin Shi Huang, she didn't give any chance to Mo Chun to retaliate and kept on throwing one after another attack
*music*
*fists*
*music*
*swords*
*music*
*fists*
Only very few disciples, who were a little bit good in Qi control could sense what was going on in the battle podium
As for the teachers, elders and even Sect Master, all of them were just stunned to see that there is a person who can use every single string of that GuZheng as a weapon
It was beyond any belief
*music*
*swords*
As the tone increased faster and faster, the swords kept on appearing one after another and started cutting the clothes and skin of Mo Chun
But thanks to the grade 3 artifact (armor) Mo Chun was able to save him, but he knew it. If not for this artifact, he would be long dead for sure before he could even surrender
With anger in his heart, as to how a peasant could hurt him, Mo Chun charged straight towards Song Shi with a sword in hand
He just wanted to kill him, which is almost clear to everyone through his angry expression but still, the announcer didn't dare to stop the battle
Seeing Mo Chun coming after him, Song Shi, in a low voice said "You lost"
*pulled all strings*
She pulled the strings down and caused a big wave of winds and threw it straight towards him.
This time it was no sword or fist that appeared, it was a skeleton soldier in armor with a long sword in his hand
Not just one, but rather 5 of them were there and all of them attacked at Mo Chun
*whaaaa*
The soldiers roared and attacked straight at Mo Chun, which made him feel to piss right now as it was fucking clear that he truly has lost the battle
*BOOOOOOM*
Both, the 5 soldiers of Song Shi and Mo Chun's defense artifact crashed at each other causing a small explosion, sending both soldiers and Mo Chun away
*whoosh*
When the dust cleared, all soldiers of Song Shi had gone away, which is expected but what is not expected that Mo Chun was on the ground not on the podium.
Mo Chun lost the battle
"No way" Mo Chun said to him as he was angry at his failure.
His sister made it clear to defeat Qin Shi Huang but he did not only fail to do that but he also got eliminated from the competition due to his loss to an outer disciple
He may not have any injuries on him but still, the shockwave caused him to land on the ground, whereas Song Shi was already far away from him, so she is all safe.
"The winner is SONG SHI" the announcer announced the result
For the first time ever, a mere 4th stage Soul Realm martial artist defeated a peak Spirit Realm martial artist, which is something no one can believe but it is truth.
How?
With music? this is more unbelievable
. . .
After that day, the winner from the outer disciple section participated in the next battle as they could now.
So they all fought on equal terms in the ranking battle
As for our great mc, Mo Yuanjun, well I don't really want to talk about him
Mo Yuanjun wanted to test a few things, mostly regarding physical strength so not even in a single battle he used his Qi whereas every single person against him used their Qi to attack at him
Results?
He lost all battles, not even a single match was won by him
Which was a big shock, as this is the same guy who defeated Mo Ru in the free for all battle with just one punch
It was quite impossible to believe but it was the truth, so many disciples started raising their voice to throw him from inner disciple's position as he cheated to get in
But at that time, an opponent of Mo Yuanjun asked him "Why are you not using your Qi?"
And that time they all knew that he is not using Qi to fight
With a smile, Mo Yuanjun replied "Just want to test a few things that's all"
His opponent than asked, "Don't you want to be no.1?"
Mo Yuanjun replied "Sorry but I am not interested in fame or anything else. I'll just do want I want to do"
. . .
One after another battle took place and Mo Yuanjun's rank is at the last, literally the last. With score 1, which is for hard work, I guess
As for the person who won, well you can guess right?
Its Song Shi, for the first time ever, a Soul realm martial artist was ranked no.1 at the ranking board
As for other outer disciples, Jin Bai, Hao Fang and Lai Yong (the best disciples) they were ranked in top 20 and others in top 200 and 100, a few in top 50 also
Also, the very next day Song Shi, Jun Bai, Hao Fang, Lai Yong, and many other outer disciples were promoted into inner disciples.
As for the remaining one, they were told that from now on, they will all be taught various skills
Which is big news for them and they were happy about it, but also sad as they won't be able to attend Qin Shi Huang's classes
But Mo Yuanjun told them, to go and learn from those who are experience
Also, Song Shi is now treated as a core disciple as her future is surely bright and if she could step into the spirit realm, she will be for sure promoted into core disciples
. . .
What about Mo Yuanjun now?
What will he do now?
. . .
