Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1188: Seven Solos, The Demeanor of A Music Sage!

Translator: Lordbluefire

The extremely groovy EDM ‘Despair’, under the reinforcement of Lingering Sound, spread through the entire public square.

Everyone, including ordinary folks who didn’t understand music, was so stunned that they were dumbfounded. They had no way to describe their feelings.

Using EDM was Li Ziqi’s method to break the situation.

Not speaking of the ancient era where humans were mostly illiterate, and music was something only the rich could learn. Even in the modern era, many people also wouldn’t be able to understand classical music. They would at most only listen to the generalized songs.

In the Nine Provinces, all music pieces belonged to the type such as ‘Water Flows from Tall Mountains’, and ‘Fish Singing Late At Night’.

In the modern era, only a minority would go and listen to it, and they also wouldn’t understand it. However, for EDM, there was no need to understand it. The listeners just needed to vibe and get high.

“What’s your leg doing?”

“I don’t know, it automatically started trembling.”

“Mine too, I basically can’t control myself.”

The ordinary folks had never come in contact with such music before. Now that they heard it, they only felt like grooving to the beat and swaying their bodies.

This was the charm of EDM. They could bring the listeners into a special atmosphere.

“When did our eldest martial sister comprehend Lingering Sound?”

Lu Zhiruo felt very envious.

“Roughly half a year ago, she comprehended it while in the Black-White Game!”

Actually, this great teacher halo was quite general. As long as a great teacher gave enough lessons and the effects were good enough, they would eventually comprehend this.

Its effect was to allow the great teacher’s voice to automatically increase in volume when they activated the halo. At the same time, there would also be a pleasant-sounding rhythm to make listeners unknowingly immerse themselves in the words of the speaker and they wouldn’t be distracted.

To students who lacked a long attention span, this halo was simply a magical skill.

Right now on the stage, the four opponents felt like a formidable enemy had appeared. This was especially so for Jiang Yuzhen. She took the initiative to attack.

Her music immediately turned decisive and was like a thousand steeds galloping past the field, wanting to tear apart everything.

All her opponents immediately felt uncomfortable. They felt like their bodies were trampled on by the cavalry’s warhorses, and they felt so unbearable to the point where they wanted to cough blood.

“I’m not playing anymore. It’s time to end this boring game!”

Wei Wu`an ferociously stroked his zither string.

This ancient zither, which was made with an ancient taboo weapon refinement technique and the sacrifice of many rare parrots, immediately unleashed its strongest prowess.

An illusion sprang up in everyone’s mind.

Xia Taikang, Xiang Zhao, and Jiang Yuzhen were fine, but the other members of their groups were influenced.

“Troublesome!”

Jiang Yuzhen frowned and just when she was pondering about how to break the illusionscape, Li Ziqi who was beside her suddenly erupted forth with a platinum light from her body.

Bzz!

The radius of the halo wasn’t large, just roughly about 50 meters. However, people in this zone felt their spirits stirring and they were no longer affected by Wei Wu`an’s music. Besides, the most important thing was that Wei Wu`an’s ancient zither was also suppressed.

This instrument was made from innocent lives and consisted of mental-type attacks. Now that the illusion effect was cleared, Wei Wu`an’s music actually sounded extremely jarring and ear-piercing.

“What nonsense is this? Why is it so unpleasant-sounding?”

“I understand. The secret is in that ancient zither!”

“What music piece is she playing?”

Everyone was curious.

“Aiya, what great teacher halo is this?”

The Qi Emperor was curious and asked his grand tutor.

“It’s an Ancient Sage halo!”

The grand tutor stroked his beard and explained. “After comprehending this halo, one will receive the protection of the ancient sages and they will be immune to all mental-type attacking techniques. The Wei Crown Prince’s zither skill is something elevated by his zither. Now that his zither has been suppressed, he has returned back to his original state.”

“Ah? This halo is something one could only obtain after gaining the approval from the ancient sages in the Ancient Sage Building, right?”

The Qi Emperor was shocked.

“Yes!”

The grand tutor nodded and stared at Li Ziqi. He was very envious of Sun Mo’s good luck. Being able to get such a talented disciple was truly fortunate. But after that, he suddenly felt like laughing at Secondary Saint Zhou’s blind eyes.

“How old is she merely?”

The Qi Emperor was dumbfounded.

“Last year, she broke the record of becoming the youngest 1-star great teacher in history. Oh right, her personal teacher Sun Mo has also comprehended the Ancient Sage halo!”

The grand tutor introduced.

“This emperor knows about this!”

The Qi Emperor had read Sun Mo’s info in detail before. After all, he coveted Sun Mo’s God Hands!

Once the ancient zither was suppressed, Wei Wu`an became completely useless. He secretly glared at Li Ziqi before leaving.

“…”

Jiang Yuzhen was speechless. (My most troublesome opponent actually got finished off so quickly? In that case, doesn’t that mean that I can become number one now?)

Li Ziqi’s ‘Despair’ played halfway. When she saw that the other three were completely not disturbed, she immediately changed to another piece. It was necessary to use some battle tactics now!

Hence, a desolate, magnificent, and atmospheric music piece flowed forth from the little sunny egg’s fingers.

“What music piece is this?”

Li Xiu asked in shock.

From this music piece, she could hear boundless sorrow. It was an unending song of mourning accompanied by roars of reluctance. This was a thousand years of wandering homelessly, a thousand years of struggling and fighting, but a dream of freedom could never be destroyed by war or death!

There seemed to be a group of people wanting to barge out of a place, breaking through all shackles to arrive at the shores of dreams, heading to a beautiful home that belonged to them!

“The Exodus Song!”

Sun Mo casually answered as he used his heart to listen. This classic piano piece being played by a guzheng truly had a different taste to it.

The little sunny egg had once wanted to kill herself because she was abandoned. This was why she could understand the true essence of this music piece and fully displayed the fiery emotions.

“…”

Li Xiu was speechless. (What sort of names are these?)

As a royal princess, Li Xiu was also proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. (Why have I not heard such a groovy music piece before?)

Yes, Li Xiu didn’t feel that this music piece was nice to listen to. But she felt that it was extremely groovy. How to put it better? She felt that if this music was played on the battlefield, all the soldiers would feel their morale surging!

“Yo, this princess has some capabilities!”

Xiang Zhao was shocked and couldn’t help but listen attentively. He truly admired this music piece very much.

Jiang Yuzhen and Xia Taikang didn’t know how to admire it. However, they instinctively knew that they had met a formidable opponent. Hence, they went all out and their music immediately became even more intense, like thunderbolts wanting to split everything apart!

And right now, Li Ziqi changed her music piece again!

The musical notes stirred and became spirited and carefree. It was like a girl who had just experienced love for the first time and was dancing wildly in celebration!

Many of the people revealed intoxicated expressions. After that, they started humming this music piece.

“Teacher Sun, what’s this?”

Li Xiu was shocked again.

It was unknown why, but she loved this song very much. When she heard it, she suddenly felt that she had returned to the days of her youth.

“Despacito!”

Sun Mo’s pronunciation was pretty accurate, but Li Xiu had a dumbfounded look on her face.

“What is this? Can’t you give it a nicer name?”

Li Xiu felt that this music piece had been sullied by its name.

As Sun Mo listened and surveyed the situation of the other three opponents, he saw that Xia Taikang wasn’t affected, while Xiang Zhao was shaking his head and felt a little intoxicated. As for Jiang Yuzhen, she was repeatedly glancing at Li Ziqi.

Sun Mo laughed.

This popular Latin-style song was the top hit back in his world. One could very well imagine its charm.

For some foreign songs, even if one couldn’t understand their lyrics, just the melody alone was enough to cause one to feel immersed.

“It’s nice!”

Xiang Zhao wanted to multi-task and record the melody, but Li Ziqi suddenly changed to another music piece.

This time around, it finally turned into a gentle-sounding music piece.

Calming! Elegant! Melancholic!

The tune was like a clear spring that baptized one’s heart and mind, leaving behind the fragrance of orchid that perpetuated the atmosphere for a long time before dissipating.

“This melody is so beautiful. What is its name?”

Li Xiu was somewhat intoxicated. She had decided that if Sun Mo said another unknown name, she would bash his head.

“With An Orchid!”

Sun Mo loved this music piece very much. When he was vexed, he would always choose to listen to it.

At this moment, everyone in this gigantic public square was quietly listening. In fact, they actually felt like grumbling. The other contestants were disrupting the admirable music piece Li Ziqi was playing.

“It tastes truly delicious!”

Li Guinian closed his eyes and his head swayed. His fingers involuntarily rapped a beat on the table. It was like he was looking at a world filled with orchids.

In this place, there was no fighting for power or benefits, no mania or vanity, there were only orchid-scented flowers after the rain.

There were no scars in the sky, but there were over hundreds of birds flying past. Time remained unmoving, but there were tears flowering!

A thousand lakes and a thousand rivers, a cloudless sky. Li Ziqi’s music returned desolation and tranquility to the world, cleansing the muddied spirit of everyone listening.

Xiang Zhao glanced at the pipa in his hands. If he wasn’t in a competition, he truly didn’t want to play anymore. He just wanted to quietly admire Li Ziqi’s music.

With an Orchid, the ‘fragrance’ of this music piece nullified the desire to win in the hearts of Xia Taikang and Jiang Yuzhen. It caused their music and tempo to slow down.

Li Ziqi had forgotten that she was in a competition as she was completely immersed in the world of her music. Sometimes, music could truly cause people to place everything down.

When this music piece was played halfway, she glanced at the sky. A cicada flapped its transparent wing and flew through the air, and she subconsciously stopped the song.

In an instant, everyone seemed to see golden waves of wheat flying amidst the cries of cicadas, the gentle meandering spring waters, the sunflowers lifting their heads to the sun, the fishermen holding their rods, and the silhouettes of children running around in the wilderness.

Smiles appeared on the lips of countless people. It felt like they had returned to their childhood, a period where they had no restraints or worries!

“What music piece is this again?”

Before Li Xiu could continue asking, Lu Zhiruo took the initiative to answer it because she was very fond of it.

“Summer!”

This song was filled with qualities that delighted children and could baptize the heart and mind.

Sun Mo noticed that Xiang Zhao had given up. The desire for victory in Jiang Yuzhen’s eyes had also faded by quite a bit.

“If she works a little harder, our eldest martial sister can definitely win!”

Ying Baiwu clenched her fists, wanting to shout out, but she was also worried she might disturb Li Ziqi.

“Should I give up?”

Jiang Yuzhen was conflicted. Even if she won, it wouldn’t be honorable. After all, her zither skill was actually a cultivation technique. But at this very moment, Xia Taikang erupted forth.

He didn’t want to lose!

He only wanted to win and smash all his opponents into pieces.. Hence, he began to play a music piece that sounded like the explosive thunder blasting the fields. His last struggle was here!
