Xia Houliang announced the rules of the second round. It turned out that the inner sect disciples had to listen to Gongsun Xiao play the guqin.
Within Gongsun Xiao's guqin, there was a strong impact on the soul. The average inner sect disciple's soul strength was almost unable to withstand it!
Therefore, under Gongsun Xiao's guqin, the longer one could withstand it, the better the result.
After Xia Houliang announced the rules of the competition, the inner sect disciples were eager to give it a try. They had always heard that the second elder's husband, Gongsun Xiao, was an expert in music, and the music she played would definitely be very pleasant to the ears.
Of course, it was almost impossible to persevere through the entire song played by Gongsun Xiao. They only hoped to persevere for a longer time in order to win Gongsun Xiao's favor.
Gongsun Xiao leisurely walked over. Facing the inner sect disciples, her face maintained a calm expression. She lightly said, "All of you pay attention. If you feel that you can't take it anymore, leave early. Stay a thousand meters away from me, and you won't be affected by the guqin."
After Gongsun Xiao finished speaking, she sat down and took out her guqin. Waving her jade-like hands, she began to play.
The sound of the guqin rang out. Gongsun Xiao's playing technique was very skillful. With one look, one could tell that she was an expert. She must have studied the guqin for many years.
The moment Gongsun Xiao's guqin rang out, some of the inner sect disciples felt dizzy and could not take it anymore.
In just a few seconds, dozens of inner sect disciples had already given up. There was no other way. Gongsun Xiao's guqin contained a strong impact on the soul. If they did not give up, their souls would probably collapse and they would die.
The inner sect disciples with slightly stronger souls were able to withstand it for a longer period of time.
More than one thousand five hundred inner sect disciples gathered together. In just three minutes, there were only about a hundred left. Most of the inner sect disciples could not withstand it for more than three minutes.
Gongsun Xiao's guqin became even more urgent. The remaining hundred inner sect disciples were no doubt elites. Therefore, Gongsun Xiao's test for them was even stricter. It was not easy for them to continue enduring the impact of the soft music.
"You won't be able to last four minutes against my Demonic Sound Soul Seizing. If you feel any discomfort, you should give up so that you don't injure your core!" Gongsun Xiao's cold voice sounded.
In the training field, the remaining hundred plus inner sect disciples were still struggling bitterly. Among the many disciples, only Zhao Wenguang and Qiuye Xuan were relatively calm. Many of the other inner sect disciples were pale and trembling all over. They would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Sure enough, as Gongsun Xiao had predicted, the remaining inner sect disciples couldn't take it anymore and left one after another. Only Zhao Wenguang, Qiu Yexuan, and Ye Qing were left.
Among the three of them, Ye Qing was the calmest. It was as if the other party's music didn't exist at all.
"Second Elder, Big Beauty, your music is not intense enough. Let the storm come more violently!"
Ye Qing grinned and winked at Gongsun Xiao, who was playing the zither.
Gongsun Xiao's eyes narrowed as her expression gradually turned solemn. She did not expect that after four minutes of music, there would still be three inner sect disciples who could persevere. Among them, Ye Qing's performance was the most relaxed.
"Is that so?
Then next, have a taste of my Demonic Soul Whisper! "
Gongsun Xiao snorted coldly. As she waved her jade-like hands, the sound of the zither became even more intense. It was as if there were demonic music echoing between heaven and earth. The atmosphere became strange.
The remaining elders in the sky frowned as they secretly thought that Gongsun Xiao's actions were a bit too much.
Demonic Soul Whisper was usually used to deal with enemies. No matter how strong the three inner sect geniuses' souls were, they would not be able to withstand the Demonic Soul Whisper.
"Second Elder, don't go too far. Don't hurt them." The First Elder transmitted his thoughts.
However, Gongsun Xiao ignored him. Her expression remained indifferent as she did not care about the situation of the three inner sect geniuses.
Gongsun Xiao plucked the zither strings and used Demonic Soul Whisper. The impact of the zither's music on the souls became even more intense.
The souls seemed to condense into the howling of a demon king, trying to disperse the souls of Zhao Wenguang, Qiu Yexuan, and Ye Qing.
"I can't take it anymore!
What a powerful zither music. I can't take it anymore! "Zhao Wenguang was the first to speak. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he really could not take it anymore.
Qiu Yexuan, who was beside him, was in a similar state. He was on the verge of breaking down.
Whoosh!
Zhao Wenguang and Qiu Yexuan did not hesitate as they rushed out. Soon, they were a thousand meters away from Gongsun Xiao.
Their eyes were filled with shock. They had witnessed the power of the Second Elder. She was able to completely destroy their souls with her zither music.
And it was obvious that Gongsun Xiao did not use her full strength. She was still as calm as ever.
The one thousand five hundred inner sect disciples were all defeated. Originally, the second round of the competition would have ended here.
However, because of Ye Qing's existence, Gongsun Xiao could not stop playing.
Under the attack of Demonic Soul Whisper, Ye Qing did not seem to have any reaction. He was still safe and sound. The competition was not over yet.
Outside, Zhao Wenguang's face was gloomy. He could see that Ye Qing's talent was far above his. Whether it was the power of the soul or the physical body, he was no match for him.
Knowing the truth was one thing, but Zhao Wenguang was still not convinced. That was because his girlfriend, Qiu Yexuan, was looking at Ye Qing. Her eyes were shining like a wolf. Obviously, she was very interested in Ye Qing.
"Yexuan, that kid is just lucky. One day, I will surpass him!" Zhao Wenguang said in a deep voice.
Qiu Yexuan let out a faint 'oh' and did not say anything. Her beautiful eyes were still looking at Ye Qing. Her eyes were filled with little stars. Her admiration for an expert was obvious.
"Hmph!
Damn kid! "Zhao Wenguang roared in his heart as he gritted his teeth.
If it was just losing face, Zhao Wenguang would not be so angry. But looking at the current situation, he might even lose his girlfriend. How could he not be angry?
It was also his fault that his girlfriend, Qiu Yexuan, had such a personality. She only liked geniuses. She liked the new and hated the old. Once she saw an even more monstrous genius, she would easily abandon the original.
In the sky, many elders opened their mouths in disbelief. They could see that Gongsun Xiao's Demonic Soul Whisper was very strong. It was at least seventy percent of its power. But under the influence of the Demonic Soul Whisper, Ye Qing could still talk and laugh. This scene was too illusory and unreal!
"What's going on?
Could it be that Ye Qing's soul is even stronger than Gongsun Xiao's?
That's impossible! "
"There's another possibility, which is that Ye Qing himself is an outstanding musician!
That's why he can resist the Demonic Soul Whisper! "
The elders in the sky began to guess. The inner sect disciples in the martial arts field were all dumbfounded. They felt that their brains had completely lost the ability to think. They stood there like wooden blocks.
