Chapter 54

This time, the performance completely changed from the gentle and soothing style earlier, pushing the speed to the extreme, bringing an incredibly powerful force. A series of explosions made everyone's blood boil.

"Good heavens, what kind of music is this? How can it be so exhilarating? It's really too intense!"

Han Shuai, though a layman, was also infected by the intense music, his blood boiling.

Shi Yuting was holding her phone, recording a video, but after hearing Ye Bufan's performance, she became incredibly excited, her hands trembling slightly.

"This kid really dares to play 'Flight of the Bumblebee'!"

Tao Wei was first shocked, then a cold smile appeared on his face.

Anyone who has studied the piano knows the reputation of this piece; it's not something just anyone can play.

Even the world's most famous piano masters wouldn't dare perform such a piece publicly, as it is extremely difficult to master. A slight mistake could ruin the performance and bring shame.

It could only be played during private practice to feel the power of the piece.

Now, Ye Bufan was publicly performing 'Flight of the Bumblebee,' which, in the eyes of professionals, was suicidal behavior.

"Kid, you're just a poor guy with no experience. You really think you're a world-class piano master? I'll see how you can keep your face here after embarrassing yourself."

Tao Wei's face showed a look of satisfaction, as if he could already see Ye Bufan losing control.

But Ye Bufan, in front of the piano, paid no attention to what others were thinking. His hand speed was getting faster and faster, reaching an incredible level.

Shi Yuting, looking at the screen of her phone, was so surprised that her mouth dropped open, her eyes almost popping out.

All she could see was Ye Bufan's hands turning into a blur, making it impossible to see the keys clearly.

Too fast! It was simply too fast! This was a speed no human could achieve.

Huang Xiaoli, Niu Haotian, Yang Xu, and others, though they all looked down on Ye Bufan, were now shocked by his hand speed and the explosive notes he played.

The extreme speed and music, as Ye Bufan played, made almost everyone in the room hold their breath, as if their adrenaline was burning.

Generally, even if someone dared to play this piece, they would slow down the rhythm by a few beats. But Ye Bufan did not slow down at all; instead, he played faster than anyone else.

At this moment, a buzzing sound continuously circled above everyone's heads and in their ears, and they could almost see a swarm of bees dancing before their eyes.

Ye Bufan's speed kept increasing, his hands almost turning into afterimages. It seemed like countless hands were jumping on the keys, even though it was just one pair of hands.

Surprisingly, such speed was only shown in his hands, while his body remained as straight as a pine tree, sitting as steady as a mountain.

He exuded an elegant and steady aura, while his hands were incredibly fast and violent.

Shi Yuting, though recording with her phone, didn't dare to move her eyes, afraid of missing the most brilliant and perfect performance of her life.

Yang Xu, who was smoking, forgot the cigarette in his hand until it burned his fingers.

Ye Bufan felt a sense of exhilaration, having fully displayed the musical heritage of the Ancient Medical Sect on this piano.

Adrenaline was surging, and his hand speed was explosive!

The piano seemed to tremble slightly, unable to bear such a fast load, as if it might fall apart.

Finally, he reached the peak of his performance today, reaching the highest point. With the last note exploding on the keys, everything in the room returned to calm.

Tao Wei, who had been waiting for Ye Bufan to embarrass himself, stood there like a wooden puppet, completely dumbfounded.

Only now did he realize the gap between himself and Ye Bufan in terms of piano skills. It was simply incomparable, not even in the same league, with a difference of several streets!

Ye Bufan stood up and sighed inwardly. No wonder this piece was so difficult; it not only required a deep understanding of music but also good physical strength.

Playing this piece was entirely a physical task, and only a martial artist's body could achieve such grace and speed.

He turned to Han Shuai and said, "Give me a cigarette!"

"Uh!" At this moment, Han Shuai was still in a daze, even forgetting that Ye Bufan usually didn't smoke. He mechanically took a cigarette from his pocket and threw it over.

Ye Bufan caught the cigarette, opened the piano lid, and lightly rubbed it against the piano's metal structure. With a puff, the cigarette was quickly lit.

The people around, who hadn't yet recovered from their shock, were even more astonished. How could someone light a cigarette with a piano? What kind of move was this?

The internal structure of the piano contains many metal components, which can generate a lot of heat through rapid friction.

If the playing speed is too fast, the accumulated heat can ignite paper when it gets close.

Many people had heard of this principle, but no one had ever thought that someone would actually play the piano and light a cigarette.

Ye Bufan, who didn't usually smoke, did all this to give his performance a perfect ending. He took a light puff and then casually blew out a smoke ring.

Throwing away the cigarette, he noticed that everyone was still stunned, and Shi Yuting was looking at him with shining eyes.

"Damn, did I go a bit too far? I came here to support my good friend, not to steal all the limelight."

Ye Bufan felt a bit regretful, wishing he had been more low-key.

At this moment, Shi Yuting came to her senses and excitedly called out, "Perfect! Absolutely perfect! I'm going to post it online, so everyone can see the most perfect performance in the world."

She trembled as she operated her phone and uploaded the video she had just recorded.

Ye Bufan didn't stop her. After all, Shi Yuting hadn't recorded his face, and the lighting in the private room was dim, so no one would know it was him.

But he didn't realize that this short video would be like a bomb, causing a huge stir on the internet.

In a Western restaurant, Qin Chuchu was dining with two beautiful girls, her close friends An Yimo and Cao Xiaowan.

Cao Xiaowan, noticing Qin Chuchu's distracted look, said, "Chuchu, what are you thinking about? You seem lost in thought."

"Nothing... nothing..."

Qin Chuchu shook her head, feeling annoyed. That annoying guy kept appearing in her mind these days.

At this moment, An Yimo, who was idly scrolling through her phone, suddenly exclaimed, "Look quickly, my prince has appeared."

"What's the big deal? Are you obsessed with princes?"

Qin Chuchu grumbled, but when she saw the screen, she was also stunned.

Too fast! The person's playing speed was too fast; his hands were almost a blur.

An Yimo excitedly called out, "Amazing! Absolutely amazing! This is my piano prince!"

Cao Xiaowan said, "Fake! It must be fake! No normal person can be that fast. It's definitely a computer special effect, just to fool women like you who daydream about princes."
