Thud, thud, thud!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of chords at the beginning, it was exactly the same as the chords of the Beethoven's Ninth Symphony that Wu Shihao played just now, which means Ye Xuan chose the same piece.

He is also playing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Upon hearing the piece Ye Xuan was playing, most of those present looked astonished, their faces showing a peculiar expression.

They clearly didn't expect Ye Xuan to choose the same piano piece, two identical Beethoven symphonies, equating to a direct challenge to Wu Shihao! I must say, this guy really has guts.

After his initial shock, Wu Shihao immediately pursed his lips and flashed a sneer, "Hmph, showing off your skills in front of a master, making a fool of yourself!"

You're seeking your own destruction, playing the same piece as me and thinking you can defeat me? That's completely humiliating yourself!

Mo Tao frowned tightly and sighed inwardly, and his last thread of hope for Ye Xuan completely shattered.

He thought that since this kid was chosen by Yao Xingtong, he must have some skills, but now it seems, Ye Xuan has overestimated himself, daring to go head-to-head with Wu Shihao! Just a clown not worth fearing.

For the same piece, to win, you must comprehensively surpass the former in rhythm control and piano skills! But does he really think he can outperform Wu Shihao?

There's no such thing as instant geniuses in this world; even the greatest talent requires years of honing.

Bear in mind, Wu Shihao has been receiving professional piano training since childhood, along with my careful guidance, to achieve what he has today!

And yet, a guy who hasn't been playing the piano for more than three months thinks he can surpass him!

Isn't this just a fantastical tale?

Yao Xingtong's eyes sparkled with brilliance, staring at Ye Xuan playing at this moment, her face full of anticipation.

It's because she understands that she knows the latter is not someone who is blindly confident or overly ambitious; on the contrary, this man is imbued with a peculiar charm that makes people involuntarily believe in him.

Therefore, Yao Xingtong has reason to believe that Ye Xuan dared to do this for a reason, undoubtedly confident in his own abilities!

"He... would never act recklessly!"

In her heart, Yao Xingtong murmured, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on Ye Xuan, confident that he could play a better piece to surpass Wu Shihao.

Go Ye Xuan! You can definitely do it!

Inwardly, Yao Xingtong could not help rooting for Ye Xuan.

At this moment, even she did not notice, she had unknowingly started considering things for this man...

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Xuan was completely immersed in the enjoyment of music, single-mindedly focused on playing the piece.

With the dancing of his ten fingers, like elves leaping, notes interwove, forming into the unique melody of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, echoing resoundingly in the room.

The piano melody was clear and smooth, as if conquering mountains one after another, constantly pushing limits, like an eagle soaring across the sky! Then low murmurs swirling, like a mighty tiger descending with stability and power! The interweaving of multiple melodies caused a resonance in people's hearts, eliciting strong emotions.

Music has feelings, a soul, and Ye Xuan was steadfastly convinced of this!

And by investing his emotions into the music, it made the played pieces more moving and more enchanting! This is the emotional offensive of music.

At this moment, listening to the piece Ye Xuan was playing, it could provoke an inner resonance, causing a change in the expressions of everyone present.

Moreover, his playing was in no way inferior to Wu Shihao's, even from the start, it had an implicit tendency to surpass him! This left Wu Shihao, involved in the situation, full of incredulity, with the disdain in his eyes gradually dissipating, looking towards Ye Xuan with a solemn gaze.

Although unwilling to admit it, at this moment he had to acknowledge that just based on Ye Xuan's current playing level, it was in no way inferior to his own!

Moreover, he added his own emotions into the piano piece, making it more vivid and flexible, more fitting to the listener's heart. From this standpoint, the other party had already surpassed him!

Wu Shihao held himself in high esteem, always thinking Ye Xuan was inferior, but now got slapped in the face, making his expression uncertain.

As shocked as Wu Shihao was, so was Mo Tao, the judge of this competition!

His gaze towards Ye Xuan completely changed.

The unexpected outcome, Ye Xuan's piano skills turned out to be so superb, even slightly stronger than Wu Shihao's, proficiently mastering even the emotional offensive of music! He seriously doubted, is this really the level someone could achieve after just three months of piano practice?

Seems I really underestimated him!

This is no piano novice! Regardless of whether Ye Xuan indeed only studied for three months, his piano prowess already surpassed most who have practiced for over ten years domestically, even some at a performing artist level.

"Has this guy really only been learning piano for three months?"

Mo Tao was deeply shaken internally.

He had never believed in the so-called instant geniuses! Most so-called geniuses are 1% talent and 99% sweat, occupying a place in a field through years of diligent practice.

But right in front of him, Ye Xuan perfectly defied this common sense.

If not seen with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that the other had only been practicing piano for three months! If what he said was true, then Ye Xuan is certainly an unrivaled genius in the piano realm! This news could cause a sensation in the entire world of music.

However, from the current situation, Ye Xuan was just using the technique of emotional offensives to provoke a resonance in people's hearts, thus initially surpassing Wu Shihao!

If merely comparing piano skills, both could only be considered to be on par with each other. Removing these external conditions, Mo Tao could score Ye Xuan equally as eight points as Wu Shihao.

Although he hoped for Wu Shihao to win in his heart, he wouldn't be biased in scoring and giving an unfair judgment.

Of course, this was just the beginning; what Ye Xuan's performance would be next depended on how strong his level truly is!

As Mo Tao was contemplating these matters in his heart, the Ye Xuan who was immersed in playing suddenly changed his rhythm, followed by a change in the entire musical style!

While reaching the low-pitched section of the passage, rather than lowering the melody following the original score, he suddenly performed an upward modulation, raising the entire melody again and completely changing its direction.

With his modification, this piano piece's melody became increasingly exhilarating, the rhythm also quickened significantly, giving a strong overall sense of rhythm, more aggressive and spirited compared to before, with greatly increased difficulty!

"What?!"

Upon Ye Xuan's modification, Wu Shihao and Mo Tao instantly noticed, and their expressions immediately changed drastically...
