Volume 6 Chapter 147 (2/2)
Ye Yin Zhu stated, ”Light magic can only purify and cannot eradicate the curse and darkness within the flesh. If you want to cure senior, you need to use a tremendous amount of life aura to help her own vitality completely expel the curse and corrosion.”
Asius' eyes displayed a pensive light. Seedorf muttered, ”This girl, how come she didn't mention this to me.”
Emperor Silvio smiled and said, ”Every day you a.s.sist me and are preoccupied with national security matters of large importance. How would you have the time to attend to your granddaughter? Yin Zhu, be at ease. Uncle will certainly do his best to protect you. Silver Dragon City will, at most, ask you some questions. Although your ability to cause draconic explosions with a zither song can const.i.tute as a threat to the dragon race, this does not apply to Silver Dragons at all, right?”
Silvio and company left, leaving Ye Yin Zhu within the library alone. At this moment, Ye Yin Zhu reflected over the words Silvio had said before leaving. What did he try to point out to me? Ye Yin Zhu's eyes brightened. He suddenly understood. Silvio was pointing out to him that the seven large dragon cities had a disharmonious relations.h.i.+p. Even if Silver Dragon City proved that his zither song could kill or injure the dragon race, so long as he stated that this zither song could be employed against Onyx Dragon City, they would no longer fear being unable to protect themselves. Old ginger really was hotter.3 Silvio pointed out to him the essential key he needed.
Sighing, Ye Yin Zhu once again sat on the floor. When Lisha intended to launch an attack at him earlier, he was already well-prepared to summon Zi, therefore making him secure in the knowledge that he was able to confront Lisha. Even though Zi might not be Lisha's match, since Zi had the strength to order the Gold Behemoths around, perhaps he could've summoned the Gold Behemoths to come and fight. Nonetheless, the Behemoth race was the enemy of humankind, and it had not yet been absolutely essential. Ye Yin Zhu didn't want to expose Zi's connection to the Behemoths.
Retrieving the book he had placed to the side, Ye Yin Zhu tried to find a comfortable position as he laid on the ground. These days, he had truly been learning a lot of new knowledge, and the influence this had on his mentality wasn't small. In addition, these past few months he'd spent in Milan made the current him drastically dissimilar to the 'unversed in world affairs' youth that had just left Desolate Jade Sea. Apart from reading, he'd also focused intensely on cultivating, but his dou qi improvement progress was very slow. He didn't know if it was because he had accepted Zi's power too quickly at that time or not. Yellow Bamboo Level 5 seemed to have already become an extremely difficult bottleneck for him to break through.
His zither magic was progressing extremely quickly. Especially after playing the zither song < soaring=”” dragon's=”” cry=””>>; his spiritual ocean had received a ma.s.sive expansion. After a month of cultivation, his spiritual force had made remarkable progress, already showing signs of breaking through to Level 3 of the Courageous Zither Heart.
He ran his hand along the bookshelf and retrieved a book, intending to use it as a pillow so he could make himself a bit more comfortable. Suddenly, Ye Yin Zhu realized that the book he'd taken out was t.i.tled 《 Music Foundation Theory 》. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he really was a genius at learning the zither. Otherwise, why else would he randomly seize a book that was related to music?
His hands subconsciously opened this book to the first page. The first page only had a few simple lines of words.
「General Principle: Music is a special branch of knowledge and relies on the different frequencies a vibrating object produces. These vibrations create beautiful melodies that are arranged into musical compositions, and thus named.」
What was a genius? A genius was absolutely able to grasp opportunities from the smallest to the most common of scenarios. Ye Yin Zhu was undoubtedly this kind of person.
Ye Yin Zhu's zither playing was inferior to no one, so 《 Music Foundation Theory 》 had fundamentally no meaning to him. This 「General Principle」 line, however, caused a violent boom to resonate throughout his mind. An extraordinary idea instantly threaded its way into the depths of his mind.
Different frequency vibrations, different frequency vibrations. Yes! This is the origin of music. Since it's like this, then&h.e.l.lip; As he thought of this, he suddenly crawled up from the floor. Gu-lu. His eyes brimmed with an excited and joyful light. Waving his left hand, Thundering Sprint Zither manifested above his knees. He closed his eyes and plucked the first string.
Weng----
A deep zither cry reverberated throughout the Royal Library, the string rapidly vibrating as the humming cry surged through the zither body, forming a beautiful note.
Ye Yin Zhu didn't continue, merely listening carefully as he sensed the string's tremble gradually lessen. He spoke to himself, ”Any musical instrument has a different way of causing the air to vibrate along with it in order to produce different sounds. The more intense a vibration is, the louder the sound. My sound blades don't exactly make my dou qi and strings maintain the same vibration frequency after it's released. If I can maintain that relatively high vibration frequency even after the sound blade is released, then the rate at which it weakens slows. The attack range would then naturally increase substantially alongside its cutting power.”
After he said this, his eyes flew open, revealing the windows to his soul. He hugged the Thundering Spring Zither to his chest and ran outside as fast as he could. The library clearly wasn't a place to practice his sound blades. He currently needed a significantly larger area to practice what he had just thought up.
Because it was the afternoon, there were many people out on the streets of Milan City. By the time Ye Yin Zhu left the city, an hour had already pa.s.sed. He relied on his dou qi to help him find an area devoid of people as fast as possible. After all, Milan City was too big.
The sky was dark, thick clouds completely covering the sun. Yet, this hazy sky couldn't affect Ye Yin Zhu's currently fantastic mood. He'd even completely tossed the matter with Silver Dragon City to the back of his mind. He didn't realize, however, that a silver figure was following not too far behind him.
