Soaring into the air, the whirlwind underfoot continuously rose, supporting Liu Wuxie's body.

  Emitting a faint golden glow all over her body, as if a goddess had descended.

  Just now, a thread of Xian Emperor's will overflowed, and Liu Wuxie didn't expect it to cause such a big stir.

  With a short knife in hand, slashing down with anger, tearing open the airflow, with an unmatched force, crushing down.

  "Not good!"

  Bai Qiong realized something was wrong and had actually dropped his long sword, jumping down towards the arena floor, he still didn't want to die.

  "Too late!"

  The knife flashed like lightning, and in a split second, Bai Qiong's body was split in two by the blade.

  Things didn't stop there, after Dao Guang tore open Bai Qiong's body, he fell onto the stage.

  "Rumble!"

  The entire arena was blown apart, directly blasted open by the knife's explosion. Countless green stones flew in all directions, and those students who were too close suffered the consequences.

  "Ah... Ah... Ah..."

  Hundreds of students let out mournful wails, those seriously injured were crushed to pieces by the boulders, lying on the ground waiting for medical treatment.

  Even minor injuries were unbearable, and the gravel had scratched their bodies.

  Bai Qiong's body had long since disintegrated into dust, submerged by the air waves, disappearing without a trace.

  Liu Wuxie's body lightly fell on the ruins of the arena, looking at everything that happened in front of him, and a hint of astonishment flowed out from the depths of his eyes. He still underestimated his own strength.

  After absorbing the Bone Tempering Pill and the Marrow Tempering Pill, the physical strength of the flesh was perfectly released for the first time.

  The result was unexpectedly good, causing such a sensation, and cutting through the din of the stage with one knife.

  "He's not human, he must be a devil!"

  Many instructors on stage showed intense astonishment.

  In a very small corner, two old men stood, with endless killing intent emanating from the depths of their eyes.

  "Who would have thought that in just a short month, you'd grow to this extent? I absolutely won't allow you to continue growing like this. I want you dead."

  The old man almost gnashed his teeth as he said these words.

  "Fan Yeping, is this kid the reason you've become a miscellaneous elder?"

  Another old man with a strange expression on his face asked Fan Ye Ping.

  "That's right, I was demoted to a miscellaneous elder, all thanks to this little brat."

  Fan Ye Ping clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could rush out and kill right now, with a burning flame in his heart.

  "I'm afraid he won't make it through tonight, the Xue family has set up a trap, and he will surely die tonight."

  The two of them finished speaking and entered into darkness.

  "Another move, must he really be in the advanced Washing Spirit Realm to defeat him?"

  The Xue family did not continue to send people out to fight, and everyone's eyes turned to look at Xue Rui. Earlier, he had put down a ruthless statement that as long as Liu Wuxie survived this round, he would take action.

  Bai Qiong is already dead, and Xue Rui has yet to appear. Is he afraid?

  "Xue family, is this your conspiracy? Don't make me look down on you."

  Liu Wuxie stood on the ruins, his eyes scanning the Xue family area. Nearly a hundred Xue family disciples suddenly stood up, their faces filled with anger.

  Tonight is destined to be sleepless and endless, with a bloody atmosphere pervading the sky.

  "Liu Wuxie, you'd better not be arrogant. I've cultivated the Four Realms of Spiritual Cleansing and my martial arts skills are unmatched. If we were to engage in a martial arts competition, it would only end with me being accused of bullying someone weaker than myself. Today, let's compete in music instead. Are you daring enough to make a bet? Whoever loses will die."

  Xue family jumped out a person, not Xue Rui, wanted to compete with Liu Wuxie in piano skills.

  Heaven and earth and all things are of the Way!

  Martial arts, alchemy, painting, talismans, qin (zither) etc.

  Entering the Way through martial arts, entering the Way through literature, entering the Way through music, all are called the methods of the Way.

  The Tao follows the natural way; the great Tao operates according to its own principles, meaning that all things in heaven and earth have their own rules of operation.

  "It's Xue Lan, I've heard that his qin skills are extremely formidable. He has cultivated a set of qin techniques with which he has killed many people, and has already reached the point where he can kill without being seen."

  A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd, and Xue Lan's prowess was not in his martial arts, but in his mastery of the guqin.

  Taking the initiative to compete with Liu Wuxie in piano skills is really despicable.

  The painter sets up the painting scene and kills with his brush.

  Array masters kill people with arrays, and spiritual masters kill people with talismans.

  Powerful pianist, every note is a fatal melody.

  "Despicable, the Xue family is really despicable. Using one's own strengths to attack others' weaknesses, such tactics are truly shameless."

  Li Shengsheng stepped forward and scolded Xue's family for being despicable and shameless.

  Taking advantage of one's own strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses, Liu Wuxie's chances of winning are slim.

  Even if he has an extraordinary talent, it is impossible for him to be proficient in both alchemy and martial arts.

  The way of qin is different from martial arts, it requires daily accumulation and continuous enlightenment to achieve the state of unity between music and mind.

  "In order to kill Liu Wuxie tonight, the Xue family has been planning for a long time. If they don't kill Liu Wuxie, the Xue family will definitely not let it go."

  Xue's family wanting to kill Liu Wuxie was no longer a secret, having killed four people, catching Xue's family off guard, and the prepared methods were all solved by Liu Wuxie one by one.

  Xu Lingxue was anxious, stood up, and had a look of bewilderment on her face.

  There are few people in Canglang City who understand the art of qin, and Liu Wuxie has disliked music since he was a child. If he were to compete with others in playing the qin, he would definitely lose miserably.

  Xue's family made a tactical move, Liu Wu Xie accepted... still didn't accept.

  If he doesn't accept it, it means he's afraid, and from now on, whenever he sees the Xue family, he'll have to take a detour.

  Next, whether he can win Xue Lan with his qin skills, no one knows.

  Xue Lan looked at Liu Wu Xie with a cold smile, threw out a big problem, and didn't rush to wait for Liu Wu Xie's answer.

  "Liu Shidi, don't fall into Xue's family trap. The four challenges of the Washing Spirit Realm can be refused, this is already an unfair duel."

  All members of Class 7 stood up, warning Liu Wuxie to think thrice and never fall for it.

  This time, Songling is no exception. If it's a martial arts competition, Songling will definitely not stop him. But the zither contest is different, and he doesn't understand how good Liu Dage's zither skills are.

  Jin Jianfeng's sleepiness was completely gone, he sat up straight, narrowed his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew thicker.

  "How interesting! It's really interesting!"

  One after another, a large jug of wine was quickly emptied, and he picked up the student's wine and gulped down several mouthfuls.

  Other instructors stopped their students from fighting, but he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping them.

  "Golden Mentor, please stop them quickly!"

  Wang Yonghao stood in front of Jin Jianfeng and begged him to stop things from going any further.

  Only he was qualified to stop the Xue family, and everyone looked at Jin Jianfeng with a hopeful face.

  "He won't necessarily lose!"

  Jin Jianfeng waved his hand, signaling them to stop wasting words and continue watching. It was true that Liu Wuxie was in danger, but he wouldn't be late to make a move.

  "Liu Wuxie, if you're afraid, just admit it publicly that you are not as good as our Xue family. From now on, wherever we, the Xue family, appear, you must hide and avoid us."

  Xue Lan let out a cold laugh, the piercing sound echoing through every corner.

  Arrogant and overbearing, no matter how Liu Wuxie chooses, he can't escape the trap set by the Xue family.

  Every step of the way, calculations seamless as heavenly garments.

  For ordinary people, the first hurdle is physical strength, and they would have died alone at the stake.

  Liu Wuxie relied on his own strength, step by step crushing Xue's family sinister plot.

  In the face of absolute power, all ghosts and monsters have nowhere to hide.

  "I accept your challenge!"

  Liu Wuxie's face was calm, and he didn't even bother to mention the rules. His goal was simple: to kill all the people of the Xue family.

  "Alright, let's have a piano competition. We'll each play a piece and whoever plays the more difficult one wins. What do you think?"

  Xue Lan stepped out, his face full of excitement. In the Imperial Academy, there were only a handful of people who could surpass him in terms of qin skills.

  He has won this battle for sure.

  "Let's get started!"

  Liu Wuze was too lazy to bother with him, indicating that it could begin, whoever loses dies, and another life-and-death battle.

  Xue Rui spoke a few words, and Xue Lan's body swayed as she rushed towards another stage. Someone had already arranged the tables and chairs, and from her storage bag, she pulled out an ancient zither, placing it on the table.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, last year I coincidentally obtained an ancient book from an old tomb, called 'Spring Breeze Autumn Rain'. Today, I'll play it for you!"

  Zhou Wei wrapped his arms around Xiao Lan's waist and sat down beside her. With both hands, she stroked the strings of the guqin, and clear notes floated out.

  The moment the notes sounded, everyone's heart beat with it. The small piano sound had such a strong penetration power, no less than the true energy of martial arts.

  The rhythm is very light and every note is extremely regular, like a gentle breeze blowing across everyone's face, with each person becoming intoxicated by the melody.

  "What a high level of piano skills!"

  The entire audience erupted in applause, Xue Lan's piano skills had long been renowned throughout the Imperial Academy, and there were few who could rival him.

  No one thought highly of Liu Wuxie in this battle, including some instructors.

  The sound of the zither suddenly slowed down, like a spring breeze sweeping across the land. This is where the Spring Breeze and Autumn Rain are at their most formidable, able to transform the entire world.

  "Look, it's windy!"

  The sound of the zither swirls in the air, a gentle breeze blows by, like a woman's small hands, gently stroking their souls, that feeling is indescribable.

  Everyone was enchanted by the sound of the piano, except for two people who stood aloof.

  Willow without evil, Xu Lingxue.

  One was unmoved, one looked worried.

  Close your eyes, as if wandering outside of heaven, everything around is blocked out by the willows, submerged in one's own world.

  "Marvelous! Too wonderful! How can there be such wonderful music in this world!"

  The mathematicians were intoxicated, forgetting to breathe, forgetting where they were, and were taken to another world by Xue Lan's piano sound.

  A beautiful world outlined by musical notes.

  Spring breeze sweeps the land, autumn rain arrives, people open their eyes, unknowingly, the sky starts to drizzle with a gentle rain, sprinkling on their bodies, without feeling any chill.

  "Xue Lan's piano skills have reached a state of complete mastery, capable of changing the rules of heaven and earth. Truly worthy of being our Xuanzi number one genius."

  The Imperial Academy teaches students according to their abilities, with classes such as Array Formation, Guqin Techniques, Artifact Refining, and Alchemy.

  Time flies by every minute and second, everyone is indulged in the music, even forgetting that there are appointments between them.

  Everyone's expression in the scene was taken in by Xue Rui, a cruel smile floating at the corner of his mouth.

  This battle was won by the Xue family.

  Liu Wuxie lost once, they immediately took his life.

  As the last note fell, people reluctantly opened their eyes, exited from their trance, and savored the aftertaste.

  "Great, too great, this is the most wonderful tune I've ever heard."

  Countless people stood up and applauded, without any personal motives or hatred. They admired the wonderful music brought by Xue Lan.

  The applause all around has already given the Xue family the best answer. To surpass Xue Lan's piano skills, one must bring out even higher techniques.

  From Aiwan.
