Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 253 : Is This the Same Sheet Music?
But this was just the beginning!
As Jiang Fan's ten fingers moved swiftly, plucking the zither strings.
High-pitched notes pierced the air, sending shivers down spines.
It was as if a fierce tiger was treading on dry twigs in the deep, dark forest, approaching slowly from the shadows.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they dared not breathe.
It truly felt like a scene of being in a dire situation.
Next.
Jiang Fan's spiritual power surged, causing the zither notes to burst forth suddenly.
It was like a tiger pouncing, roaring fiercely.
Moreover, now distant and now near, sometimes high and sometimes low.
It seemed as if tigers surrounded them from all sides.
A sense of being attacked by a hundred tigers came looming!
Yuan Zhiyu's figure wavered, involuntarily moving closer to Gong Caiyi.
But Gong Caiyi also felt as if she were in the midst of it, instinctively standing on tiptoe, her whole body tensed.
As the sound grew more intense.
The oppressive feeling gradually reached its peak!
Finally!
A resounding explosive sound echoed inside and outside the great hall.
In a daze, people saw.
A ferocious tiger leaped out of the ancient zither, baring its bloody fangs, pouncing towards them with a fierce bite!
At the same time, centered on Jiang Fan.
The granite floor, under the deafening zither sound, exploded in a fan-shaped pattern!
Directly facing Fu Chaohun and Ming Youlian!
With a bang—
Fu Chaohun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was blasted away on the spot.
Ming Youlian stumbled and almost fell.
Her face changed drastically as she grabbed Fu Chaohun and retreated rapidly.
The zither sound did not diminish.
It spread all the way out, exploding the ground along its path!
When the impact reached the central stone pillar of the great hall.
With a crack!
The huge stone beam, which required three people to embrace, was actually cracked and began to tilt.
With the stone beam destroyed.
The great hall shook violently.
It seemed it was going to collapse!
Gong Caiyi was startled.
A pat on the table, she leaped over, swiftly arriving in front of the stone beam.
With one palm, she supported the tilting stone beam back to its position.
Thus, the great hall was spared from collapsing.
When the zither sound dissipated.
Everyone was stunned into silence by the scene inside the hall.
A huge fan-shaped area of granite was completely shattered and uplifted.
White smoke hissed from the ground.
Dust filled the entire hall.
It was as if a violent earthquake had occurred.
Sights were shocking!
Yuan Zhiyu clung to the table, barely steadying herself, eyes wide open in astonishment at the scene of destruction.
At this moment, she even forgot to breathe.
Mumbling in disbelief: "This... is this a Sound Path Technique?"
Outside the hall, Yi Lianxing was dumbfounded: "A Sound Path Technique can actually be this terrifying?"
Qin Caihe was in a daze: "I've never heard of a Sound Path Technique being this powerful!"
Chu Xingmeng also widened her eyes: "Was Senior Brother Jiang really using a Sound Path Technique just now?"
Cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Sound Sect were known for being mysterious and hard to guard against.
They implied opportunistic tactics.
In terms of power, everyone's common perception was that they were weaker than orthodox techniques.
But Jiang Fan's demonstration directly overturned their understanding of Sound Path Techniques.
This score, if performed by the sect master of the Heavenly Sound Sect.
Perhaps even the other eight sect masters combined would not stand a chance?
In fact.
They merely doubted their understanding of Sound Path Techniques.
But the two from the Heavenly Sound Sect directly contemplated their lives.
Fu Chaohun gazed at the disaster-like scene, eyes blank: "This... is a Sound Path Technique?"
As a prodigy of the Heavenly Sound Sect,
He couldn't believe this level of destruction was caused by a Sound Path Technique.
Ming Youlian was also full of shock.
Having studied Sound Path Techniques for decades, she was bewildered by what she saw.
After a while, she came to her senses, trembling as she spoke: "What... what technique did you just use?"
Jiang Fan exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Looking at the immense destruction, even he was surprised.
Was this the destructive power of an Earth-level intermediate technique?
He had only used fifty percent of his spiritual power.
If he had used full power, wouldn't the hall have collapsed?
Upon hearing Ming Youlian's question, Jiang Fan pointed to the book now reduced to paper scraps, "Array-Breaking Map."
"Isn't it just the score you provided?"
What?
Fu Chaohun was shocked: "That's impossible!"
"Why did it only have such little power when I performed it?"
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
He couldn't even continue out of shame.
After a laborious effort playing the zither, he left only a few shallow marks on the granite.
The results he had been proud of just now paled in comparison to Jiang Fan's display!
But Jiang Fan claimed it was the same score.
How could Fu Chaohun accept this?
Ming Youlian absolutely refused to believe it: "You are lying!"
"The scores you played and we played are worlds apart, they are fundamentally not the same."
Jiang Fan did not conceal the truth, stating calmly: "To be honest with you."
"The score I saw is different from the one you saw."
"When I looked at it, it was a score named 'Tiger and Dragon Roar Technique,' not the 'Array-Breaking Map' that you saw."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone inside and outside the hall seemed to ponder.
This was not impossible.
It is said that with some extremely difficult inheritances, those with poor comprehension and those with excellent comprehension see different things.
The ones with poor comprehension see only the surface.
The ones with excellent comprehension see the essence of the inheritance.
This "Array-Breaking Map" might be such a case.
Otherwise, it could not explain why the same score, when performed by Jiang Fan, could be so earth-shattering.
But when Fu Chaohun played it, it was like scratching the surface.
But.
This was unbearable for Fu Chaohun to accept, resolutely stating: "Impossible!"
"Is my comprehension really worse than yours? Is it indeed as different as the sky and the mud?"
He was known as a prodigy born once in a century!
At this moment, Gong Caiyi regained her composure.
Looking at the back of Jiang Fan, she couldn't help but take a cold breath.
She always thought she understood Jiang Fan's comprehension abilities well.
Only now did she realize that she knew only the tip of the iceberg.
Her eyes showed deep appreciation, thinking how wonderful it would be if such a talent were part of the Spirit Beast Sect?
Well?
Hearing Fu Chaohun's emotional outburst, causing a scene.
Gong Caiyi felt a bit sympathetic towards him.
Fu Chaohun's comprehension was indeed excellent, the best recognized by the Nine-Sect.
Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era.
He was born in the era of Jiang Fan.
He was destined to live forever in Jiang Fan's shadow.
She sighed softly, saying: "Stop deceiving yourself."
"Even if Jiang Fan's Sound Path Technique did not come from the 'Array-Breaking Map.'
"But being able to comprehend such a powerful Sound Path Technique, do you think his comprehension is worse than yours?"
This question left Fu Chaohun speechless.
He prided himself on being a Sound Path prodigy, yet the strongest Sound Path Technique he comprehended couldn't even compare to Jiang Fan's.
"I told you, don't embarrass yourself."
Gong Caiyi walked to Jiang Fan's side, saying: "You think the sect favors Jiang Fan more, and looks down on you."
"But have you ever considered why the sect does so?"
"You may doubt the sect's strength, but do not doubt my judgment."
Hearing this, Fu Chaohun felt utterly embarrassed.
To think that he, in his proudest domain, had been trampled upon by an infamous Waste Spirit Root.
He wished he could find a hole to crawl into, and said with shame: "Great Elder, let us leave."
He didn't want to stay in the Spirit Beast Sect for another moment.
Ming Youlian was also quite embarrassed.
Not long ago, she was mocking the Proud Daughter of the Spirit Beast Sect, Yi Lianxing, for being so respectful to an outer sect disciple.
Now, her most prized disciple was severely crushed by this outer sect disciple!
She nodded, then remembered something, saying: "Since we are here, wouldn't it be a waste to leave like this?"
She bowed to Gong Caiyi: "Sect Master Gong, does your sect have any high-difficulty tasks that need completing?"
Gong Caiyi clapped her forehead: "I almost forgot."
The Spirit Beast Sect had been assigned many high-level tasks, and they couldn't complete them all in time.
Now with an excellent outer sect disciple like Fu Chaohun, he could help take on some of these tasks.
"Of course!"
She immediately took out a pile of jade scrolls, all high-level tasks of levels two and one.
Then, she thought of Jiang Fan and said: "You pick one too."
Jiang Fan was so powerful, capable of slaying the Black Lotus.
How could she let him go?
Unexpectedly.
Jiang Fan responded without hesitation:
"I dare not take on tasks from the Spirit Beast Sect."
Hmm?
Gong Caiyi was stunned.
