Lei Biao, who was playing the piano, glanced at Su Dao Xing with a slanted eye, and his anger surged up. He felt that competing with Su Dao Xing in playing the piano was an insult to himself. Su Dao Xing's sloppy fingerwork and awkward piano skills were simply unbearable.

  "What a Su Dao Xing, even his father was blinded?" Zhao Yi said to himself, not daring to flatter Su Dao Xing's finger technique.

  "Su Dao Xing, can't you be more serious? Show them some real skills." Fang Xueqin thought to herself.

  Lei Biao's qin sound became even more sonorous, and the water snakes in the pool let out soft cries along with his music.

  "Sudao Xing, if you can't condense objects with your zither sound in the pool, then admit defeat. Don't waste my time and yours." Leibiao bellowed loudly.

  "Don't be impatient!" Su Daowei responded with a single note, playing the melody on his zither.

  Splash!

  A water snake emerged from the condensed water in the pool, which was precisely the one controlled by Su Dao Xing using his qin sound.

  The students who were staring at the quiet pond saw a huge water snake suddenly appear, and they were startled at first. Su Daoxian's water snake body shape condensed from the sound of his guqin was also a bit too big.

  "What's the use of having a huge python body? It'll still be swallowed by my water snake." Lei Biao's piano skills were indeed superb, and he ridiculed Su Dao Xing while playing.

  A hundred water snakes rushed towards the water python like a swarm of ants, biting its body with their fangs.

  In an instant, the python's body was riddled with wounds.

  Su Dao Xing's playing style changed, and the giant water python opened its mouth to swallow a snake after another. With a flick of its tail, it directly killed one snake after another.

  The giant water python in the pool is making waves and killing the water snakes, leaving no survivors.

  "How detestable! My water snake is no match for his water python, it seems I need to evolve my water snake." Lei Biao's music changed, and the water snakes re-condensed into bodies, but with an additional pair of snake wings on their backs.

  The water snake with wings flew up, its speed increased by tenfold, and for a time turned disadvantage into advantage.

  The flying snake and the water python engaged in a fierce battle, with the former gaining the upper hand.

  Su Dao Xing's tune changed, and the water python's body grew a row of reverse thorns. The water python unleashed its power, and the reverse thorns pierced through the bodies of the water snakes.

  "The flying snakes evolve again." Lei Biao brought out his ultimate move, and the tune he played changed once more. The flying snakes grew claws and transformed into flying dragons.

  Su Dao Xing saw Lei Biao's flying snake evolve into a flying dragon, and the melody of his zither playing also changed, with the water python transforming into a water dragon.

  Boom!

  The dragon shook its body and a huge dragon tail shattered into strips of flying dragons.

  Lei Biao used his qin sound to make more flying dragons emerge from the water in the pool.

  Su Dao Xing chuckled and smiled, his guqin sound controlling the water in the pool to condense into a series of water dragons, one, two, ten.

  The water in the pool has dried up.

  Ten giant dragons and two hundred small flying dragons are fighting together.

  A single stick of incense, a big water dragon killed two hundred small water dragons.

  Lei Biao has been defeated!

  Su Dao woke up and won!

  Su Dao Xing's playing style changed again, and the ten water dragons grew wings and flew towards Lei Biao on the piano platform.

  "That's enough, Su Dao Xing, stop while you're ahead." Zhao Yi said with a low growl, and she began to play a tune on the guqin beside her.

  The wind in the air turned into countless wind blades, forming a storm of wind blades that rolled towards Su Dao Xing's ten water dragons controlled by his guitar sound.

  Ten water dragons were cut into pieces by the Galeforce Storm.

  Su Dao Xing's gaze at Zhao Yi had a hint of coldness, from then on, he felt a sense of disgust towards Zhao Yi, the only thread of goodwill was gone.

  "Fang Xueqin, let's go." Su Daowei stood up from the piano and walked down with Fang Xueqin towards the dormitory area.

  Qintang is also a place where strength is respected, and the students respect Zhao Yi because of his attainments in Guqin. They saw Su Daowei's attainments in Guqin skills, and naturally had a respectful heart for Su Daowei.

  After Su Dao Xing defeated Lei Biao, he practiced in a building in the Qin Tang. Every day, Fang Xueqin would come for half an hour to instruct Su Dao Xing on playing the qin.

  Su Dao Xing spent a month's time and was considered to have entered the door of qin skills, his fingerings were proper, ordinary tunes could no longer stump him, even he himself was amazed at his own innate talent in qin skills.

  Qin master Zhao Mingrui took Zhao Yi and Fang Xueqin out, Su Daowei had nothing to do, except for getting up to practice martial arts, sitting in meditation, and practicing internal skills, it was just talking about the qin, looking at the qin score, and strolling around the qin institute.

  "Su Dao Xing, from now on, the Qin Institute will rely on you to uphold its reputation." Lei Biao said when he met Su Dao Xing.

  Su Dao Xing heard that Lei Biao was being ambiguous and furrowed his brow, asking: "Lei Biao, what do you mean by this?"

  Lei Biao's facial muscles twitched twice, and he said: "Now is the day of Bai Tang's challenge. The strong from other halls will come to Qin Tang to challenge the students of Qin Tang. Originally, Zhao Yi was in Qin Tang, whoever came to challenge would not have been your turn to take action, but since Zhao Yi left Qin Tang, anyone who comes to challenge, you must take action."

  "Some people come to the Qintang to challenge, and Leixue has to take action. My piano fingerings are too unattractive, I'm afraid of losing face for Qintang." Su Daowei's face turned slightly red when mentioning fingerings.

  Lei Bo thought to himself, "So you Su Dao Xing also know that your finger movements are not very elegant." Not just not very elegant, but simply unbearable to watch. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Alright then."

  "Wherever I can be of use, I'll be there at once." As Su Dao Xing was a student of Qin Tang, he must do his part for Qin Tang.

  "Hmm!" Lei Biao turned around and left, he had a deep impression of Su Dao Xing, who had defeated him in qin skills. This breath had not been smooth for him, as the successor of Qin Sha Yi, he was actually defeated by a newcomer who had just entered the Qin Tang for one day, which he considered a great shame.

  Su Dao Xing returned to his residence and sat in meditation to cultivate himself.

  The three Holy Temples were all damaged in the battle with Saint Will, and during this time, he did not use the three Holy Temples for cultivation, but instead let them rest and recover. He had a faint feeling that he would definitely have to fight against the dead loyal disciples of the Demon Saint in the future, and at that time, he would still need to borrow the power of the three Holy Temples.

  "What happened to those three demonic beasts, the Nine-Winged Evil Peng, the Mountain-Moving Divine Ape and the Heaven-Connecting Divine Ape? Weren't they the demonic beasts tamed by the Demon Saint? How could they turn against him and help me deal with the Will of the Holy Image? There must be some hidden reason behind this." Su Dao woke up from his thoughts, unable to figure out why the three demonic beasts would turn against the Will of the Holy Image, and didn't think about it anymore.

  Cultivate yourself to become stronger is the right way, everything else is just nonsense.

  Su Dao Xing began his day and night cultivation.

  The Art Saint Institute has been bustling with activity lately, as strong practitioners from various halls have been visiting each other to issue challenges, creating a trend of competitive fervor within the institute.

  Qintang is the most uncompetitive of the hundred halls, which has something to do with Zhao Shixian's calm personality.

  The harmonious Kotora also welcomed its first challenge.

  A group of students from the Painting Hall arrived at the Piano Hall, ready for a piano-painting showdown.
