Chapter 78

Seeing the score that Zining had turned over, all the remaining examiners immediately heaved a long sigh of relief and flipped over the plaques in their hands. ◎

All of them read one hundred points.

It wasn't that they didn't want to suppress, but they simply couldn't. Facing a peak-level piece of music that occurs once in a thousand years, any attempt to suppress it would be shattered.

Moreover, the cultivators of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple had already fully expressed their stance.

Seeing that all the plaques were marked with one hundred points, all the students cheered loudly for victory.

Lanling, however, remained standing there, motionless.

All the examiners left, and then all the students also left.

Many girls actually wanted to come over and say a word to Lanling, to express their feelings. However, seeing the aura of Solon standing there, they instinctively stepped back.

After everyone had left, Lanling was the only one left in the music hall.

"Thud..." He fell directly to the ground, lying there motionless.

Because he had already exhausted all his spirit, all his strength, all his will, and all his madness.

There is a cliché: playing with one's life and soul.

And he truly played with his life and soul.

Moreover, this wasn't just playing; it was a battle. After the battle ended, at least in this battle, he achieved a great victory. His will filled with destruction, his art filled with madness, instantly conquered everyone.

Yejingyu entered, gently picked him up, and softly said, "This night, everyone was conquered by you, including me!"

...

After leaving the King's City Academy, Zining immediately rushed to the carriage and then galloped towards her brother Zili's residence.

Upon seeing Zili, she directly pounced on him, tightly hugging him and sobbing loudly in his arms.

Zili, who hadn't even fastened his clothes, was startled by Zining. He then revealed a look of concern, gently patting her back, not asking what happened, but just comforting her with care.

After crying for a full fifteen minutes, Zining gradually calmed down and lifted her beautiful eyes, saying, "Brother, were we wrong? Are we evil?"

Zili looked at her, not answering, but softly asked, "What happened?"

Zining got up, walked to the harpsichord, closed her beautiful eyes, and began to play "Fate," which Lanling had just played.

Being as smart as she was, she naturally knew how to play it after hearing it once.

Moreover, the destructive aura left by Lanling's music still lingered in her body.

Zili closed his eyes and listened attentively.

A few minutes later, Zining finished playing.

"Is this what Solon played during the exam?" Zili asked.

"Yes, but it was ten times stronger than mine. That aura of destruction, that will to die together, was a hundred times stronger than mine," Zining said. "This piece instantly shattered everyone's defenses, including Teacher Byron and me, making the so-called suppression a laughing matter."

"Truly an unparalleled genius!" Zili said. "So, this soul-stirring art made you doubt yourself?"

Zining asked, "Brother, were we really wrong? Is it wrong for us to want to destroy the Solon family and Solon himself?"

Zili said, "What is the name of this piece?"

"Fate," Zining said.

Zili came to the harpsichord and began to try playing "Fate."

Strangely, the feeling he played was much more intense than Zining's, even as intense as Solon's, filled with dark and destructive aura.

However, after playing a few notes, the dragon power in his hands suddenly burst forth, instantly shattering the entire harpsichord.

It seemed he didn't want to continue playing.

After destroying the harpsichord, Zili extended his hands, looking at his long fingers, and softly said, "Silly sister, we were not wrong."

"Then was Solon wrong?" Zining asked.

"Solon was not wrong either," Zili said. "Everything is fate. Solon must fight against fate, or he will be destroyed, and his family will be destroyed. We must also fight against fate, or we will be destroyed. Have you forgotten? How our father died? How our mother died? Solon wants to reclaim what belongs to him, and we want to reclaim what belongs to us."

Zining, like a kitten, lay on her brother Zili's lap, letting him comb her hair.

Zili gently stroked Zining's hair and said, "If Solon loses, he will be shattered. If we lose, we will also be shattered. Although it seems that Solon's situation is very dangerous, ours is even more dangerous. Although I am his enemy, at this moment, I am willing to encourage him. We both fight against fate, and the final outcome will be decided by fate."

Finally, Zining gradually calmed down, and her once fragile heart and will became strong again.

Childhood memories flooded her mind.

Endless flames, endless blood, her father who was killed, her mother who was violated.

Her father was called Zilan, once the most likely prince to become the king of the Raging Wave Kingdom, a prince loved by all the nobles.

However, in that shocking struggle for the crown, her father still lost, and losing meant death.

If it weren't for the eunuch Li Chenglian taking them away from the prince's residence in advance, and if it weren't for the protection of the Divine Dragon Holy Temple, they would have died long ago.

Yes, no one was wrong; everyone was fighting against fate.

"Solon's enemy is us, and his enemy is very powerful. But are our enemies not powerful?" Zili said calmly. "Our enemies are among the most powerful people in the world. Because he defeated everyone, the shadow hidden in the darkness is fate itself for everyone in the Raging Wave Kingdom."

Zining wiped away all her tears and said, "Brother, I know what to do. For the last martial arts exam, regardless of whether Solon is really weak or just pretending, I will definitely not let him pass. I will definitely not let him get the noble warrior medal, and I will definitely not let him inherit the title."

Zili didn't speak, just took a deep breath.

Zining looked out the window at the night sky and said, "Solon, don't blame me, blame fate."

...

The next day, Solon had become the focus of the entire capital. His near-miraculous performance last night not only shocked the entire King's City Academy but also spread throughout the entire capital. His performance last night had been hyped to the point of being divine.

Moreover, the masterpiece "Fate" he played was also spread by the students present, and it was already directly hailed as the top piece.

Moreover, after the students present returned home, they immediately tried to play this piece from memory. Although it had some form, the sense of sorrow and the aura of destruction were completely incomparable to Solon's.

Solon's miraculous performance last night also brought another result.

Finally, someone started betting on his victory. Originally, the bets on his victory were only from the courtesans, Lanling himself, and Duke Ziting, totaling ten thousand gold coins.

But now, dozens of people were betting on Solon's victory, and the total had already exceeded two thousand gold coins.

Moreover, these dozens of people were almost all girls, women who were moved by Lanling's performance last night. Some of them were Solon's ex-girlfriends, who hated him to the bone before last night, but after last night, they all became his fans, taking out all their private savings to support Solon, even if it meant losing everything.

Because the arts exam took two days to complete, the martial arts exam would be held in the afternoon of the next day.

The final exam tomorrow would decide the fate of the Solon family.

Originally, the bet between him and Zining was already well-known, and now it had become the sole focus of the capital, with almost everyone discussing the final outcome of the bet.

The results of the final major exam for Solon were eagerly awaited by the entire capital, with everyone paying attention to this last major exam.

Worried about any unforeseen events, Lanling didn't leave the house at all, directly closing his eyes to meditate and recover his spiritual energy.

The performance last night had truly exhausted all his energy and emotional outburst.

Moreover, Lanling felt that although Zining had no choice but to give him a perfect score, she would absolutely not admit defeat. In the final martial arts exam, she would definitely create obstacles.

Because in this bet, Lanling could not afford to lose, and neither could Zining. She had already overdrawn her reputation to secure the final victory. In the last exam, she would definitely use all her means.

But Solon firmly believed that with his level three warrior archer skills and the existence of the demon star, he would shine brightly in the final major exam tomorrow and win the final victory.

And at this moment, a figure hurriedly came to the door of the earl's residence.

...

Note: Brothers, I still beg for your recommendations, deeply grateful!
