apped himself twice hard on each cheek, then said with a fawning expression: "Boss, everything that just happened was my fault. I blinded myself. I apologize to you now and beg you not to hold it agai...Looking at Yin Li on stage, Jiang Fangzhou couldn't help but sigh in admiration again, "This guy's stealth skills are really amazing, it's simply impregnable!"

Not only was he, but there was also a wave of sighs around him. After all, facing such an invisible enemy is a very frightening thing for anyone.

Half an hour later, the first round of ten matches was completely over. Some went very smoothly, and some even surrendered without a fight, such as Ye Bufan and Leng Qingqiu's two matches.

Of course, there were also battles that were incredibly brutal. Two major sects' Void-Dwelling disciples fought to a stalemate, and while one side ultimately won, they were left with only half a life.

The onlookers were incredibly excited, this year's Genius Showdown seemed more exciting than any previous one.

Such martial arts prodigies as Leng Qingqiu and the unknown constants like Tianluo Prefecture filled people with interest.

After ten matches, Bai Li Xing Kong announced the beginning of the second round. Ten more groups of contestants rose to their feet and walked towards the stage.

The twenty players' appearance immediately caused a huge sensation. First of all, Prince Baili Hongjun of the Holy Dragon Empire was in this group.

As the host, the moment he appeared on stage, it immediately triggered a wave of cheers.

And then everyone's attention was drawn over again, on one side was Wucheng's Wang Chen from Absolute Valley, and on the other side was Shui Mu University's Lu Xuemian.

Two people, one masked and the other stunningly beautiful, immediately became the new center of attention upon their arrival.

Bai Li Hongjun was originally enjoying the cheers of the people, his face filled with delight at the sight. However, he couldn't help himself, after all, these two women were truly too beautiful.

Of course, Lu Xue Man doesn't need to be mentioned. Although Wàng Chén wears a mask, his enchanting figure and sexy curves still make countless people yearn for him.

"It's really heartless of Juéqíng Valley to have such a beautiful woman wearing a mask. It's truly a waste!"

"How do you know she's beautiful Maybe she's extremely ugly and that's why she wears a mask..."

"You know nothing! All the women in Absolute Valley are beauties, but no one can take off their masks. Who knows which man has the ability to do that..."

The crowd buzzed with conversation, all curious about Wangchen's appearance.

But she seemed to ignore them completely, not even looking as if they were there. She walked through the air and landed directly on the stage.

This set of movements caused countless gasps of astonishment. At this moment, everyone realized that besides the Frost Sword Immortal, this woman was also one of the top contenders for the championship of this competition.

"This woman looks so powerful!"

Jiang Fangzhou said, "Ye Big Brother, if you fight her, do you have a sure win"

It's hard to say!

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. The dust-free man on the stage gave him a feeling of being unfathomable, deep and mysterious.

On the other side of the stage stood a young disciple, whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Void Opening realm. He was Gao Da from the Shenfeng Valley.

Wang Chen's gaze was indifferent, he remained silent, and directly crossed his legs in mid-air one meter away from the platform. Then, with a wave of his hand, a seven-stringed ancient qin appeared in his palm.

Her outfit, demeanor, and this instrument together create a unique charm.

The crowd below was stunned. Wasn't this supposed to be a competition What does bringing out a piano have to do with anything

The referee didn't care about that, and directly announced the start of the game.

Gundam bit his lip. He shouldn't have gone on stage with such a power gap, but he thought that the divine wind valley was best at body techniques. As long as he could bring his speed to the extreme, maybe he would still have a fight.

Thinking of this, he didn't wait for the other party to make a move, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed over.

I have to say, the Shinfenggu disciples' footwork is incredibly fast. The entire person turns into a phantom. While they don't reach the level of Yin Li's invisibility, it's still very difficult to discern reality from illusion.

And at this moment, Wàngchén was still sitting there, not even glancing in their direction. Their gaze was fixed solely on the ancient qin before them.

Then she extended a slender jade finger and gently plucked a string, following with a delicate, clear melody.

This music, though seemingly soft in volume, is truly enchanting. Most importantly, it reaches directly into the soul.

At this moment, the jade finger of Wocheng moved lightly, deftly plucking the strings, as if a celestial maiden had descended from the heavens to play heavenly music.

At this moment, the entire stage was silent except for the melodious sound of the piano, like heavenly music.

One by one, notes leaped out, echoing in people's ears. They were like whispers, dreams, confessions, and mournful laments, ceaselessly swaying their hearts and minds.

For a time, everyone's attention was captivated by the sound of the qin. They were so absorbed in it that they didn't realize many had tears streaming down their faces.

Ye Bufan's mental strength was extremely powerful, and the sound of the qin wasn't directed at him, so he only felt a moment of dizziness before quickly regaining his composure.

But the few people standing beside him were not so fortunate. One by one, their expressions were vacant, tears streaming down their faces as they were completely lost in the music.

Looking back at the stage, the Gundam stood motionless and dumbfounded in front. It seemed to have forgotten it was even in a fight.

Her eyes were filled with tears, her expression shifting constantly between joy, sadness, and anger.

"What a terrifying piano sound!"

Ye Bufan coughed lightly, waking up Nalan Yujia, Jiang Fangzhou and others beside him.

"What's wrong with me"

Jiang Fangzhou, coming back to her senses, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, her face filled with astonishment: "Damn it, how terrifying the music is, this woman in a mask is too powerful."

"Damn it, I actually cried."

Nalan Yu Jia cursed, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, and then said, "Damn it, isn't Gujue Valley supposed to be a place of no feelings How can just plucking a stringed instrument evoke such emotions, trapping people in its depths"

Her words immediately resonated with others, and Hu Yaoyao chimed in: “Yeah, how did Ye Gege do it”

"This has nothing to do with whether she is from the Valley of Desolation!"

Ye Bufan said, "The problem lies in this music. It's a form of soul attack that can instantly injure someone's spirit."

The reason she falls into sadness and other emotions is not because of her, but a natural reaction after one's spiritual energy is lost.

For example, when you're down or feeling sad, you tend to think of your mother, and it's the same with remembering the people you love most.

Jiang Fangzhou sighed with emotion: "It's really terrifying, it sounds even more powerful than the invisibility just now."

Ye Bufan nodded: "Indeed, it's very powerful. Without strong mental power, it would be impossible to support it!"

Nalan Yugua looked up at the stage: "That boy seems to have lost!"

Others also followed his gaze. As expected, the Gundam stood there dumbfounded at this moment, completely lost in the darkness, with no idea where it was. It didn't even realize its sword had fallen to the ground.

At this moment, the sound of the qin ceased. The onlookers came to their senses and all turned their gazes towards the stage.

After all, everyone is just being affected, not the main target of attack, so the dazed state is only temporary.

And on the stage, the moment the music stopped, Gao Da suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

His face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was ragged and shallow, clearly showing that his soul had been severely traumatized.

At this moment, everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that Wochu's music could harm people invisibly to such a degree.nger reaching a boiling point. He pointed at Mr. Huo and shouted, "Damn it! I paid you 10 million to come here, and what have you done You couldn't even block a single slap!""You have the nerve to ask...
