Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Symphony of Fate

The piano piece, with its shockingly beautiful aesthetic, stunned everyone present, immersing them completely into the spirit and artistic conception of the piece until they woke up as if from a deep dream when it ended.

Reflecting on that wonderful feeling, they felt a sense of melancholy loss.

Afterward, the crowd came to their senses, and a thunderous applause filled the room, even those who had earlier looked down on Xiao Zheng, now wore excited expressions on their faces.

After all, they had come here to listen to the piano performance, not for Tang Siqin, but to hear pleasant music. Xiao Zheng had provided them with top-notch enjoyment, so they naturally offered their most enthusiastic praise without reservation.

Fan Mingzhe too was clapping, but no matter how one looked at it, his face seemed a bit ugly at that moment. Thinking back on his earlier sarcasm towards Xiao Zheng, his face felt burning with pain.

This was a severe slap in the face.

Luckily for him, when he had mocked Xiao Zheng earlier, Fan Mingzhe had not taken the stage himself, but had incited others to do so.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao also had very ugly expressions on their faces. Xiao Zheng really did possess incredibly superb piano playing skills!

Damn it.

The two old people felt like ten thousand alpacas were galloping through their hearts. If you had such impressive skills, why didn’t you just say so clearly? You shouldn’t have been so irreverently vague, causing us to speak so harshly and embarrass ourselves!

Both were furiously ranting internally.

"Hmph, I think this Xiao Zheng lacks integrity. If he really had such skills, why didn’t he show them properly before?" Mrs. Xiao suddenly said coldly.

Mr. Xiao nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Xiao Yufei was excited by Xiao Zheng’s fantastic performance. Hearing her parents speak like this, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Mom and Dad, aren’t you being a bit too biased!

However, Xiao Yufei naturally couldn’t voice these thoughts, and instead responded with even more vigorous applause as a form of "protest".

Fan Mingzhe and Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, seeing Xiao Yufei’s smugness, all had somewhat darkened expressions. This "confrontation" was a dismal defeat for them.

It was a while.

The thunder-like applause gradually subsided, and the audience, greatly impressed, one person couldn’t help but ask aloud:

"Mr. Xiao, your piece unquestionably reached a very high level, one might even say it was of a master’s standard, but I have never heard such an outstanding piece before. May I ask what the name of this piece is?"

This person was previously the most sarcastic towards Xiao Zheng, but at this moment, he was completely won over, admiration filling his eyes.

"Indeed, I have listened to almost all the world-famous pieces, but I have never heard a piece like this one."

"That sort of inclusive feeling, encompassing the ancient and the modern like a grand historical epic, is comparable to divine classics such as Destiny, Magnificent Chapter, and Flowing Light."

"What exactly is this piece?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion before turning expectant eyes toward Xiao Zheng, hoping to learn the answer from him.

Before Xiao Zheng could open his mouth, a calm voice came from behind the stage.

"This piece is called ’Destiny.’

When the crowd heard this voice, they immediately recognized it as Tang Siqin’s voice. They instinctively looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw a woman with an ordinary face but an exceptionally elegant demeanor walking out from behind the stage, looking excitedly at Xiao Zheng.

"This piece is called ’World’!"

"It is a classic masterpiece that has been lost over time!"

"A hundred years ago, when Hua Country was greatly oppressed by foreign powers, our entire nation was in a perilous state. In such a context, countless heroes rose from the end times and held up the sky for our Hua Country.

"The owner of this piece was one of these many heroes. At that time, the Western music world looked down upon our music scene, thinking there was nothing of value here. But that hero, after years of dedicated research, finally turned his full passion into this masterpiece.

"The so-called ’World’ implies the meaning of embracing the heaven and earth, swallowing the universe, signaling that Hua Country, although temporarily weakened, will one day rise again and once more become a supreme powerful nation reigning over the world!

"When this piece was released, it instantly caused a monumental earthquake across the music world. Those who looked down on Hua Country’s music scene were left swollen-faced and speechless.

"It’s just a pity that while this piece caused a tremendous stir, it also provoked hostility from the Westerners. They, being very influential at the time, resorted to dishonorable means to destroy this piece, making it lost since then. Mr. Xiao, am I right?"

With these words from Tang Siqin, the audience below widened their eyes, never expecting so many stories behind this piece.

In this world, there are far too many hidden stories, which, if not researched deeply by professionals, are hard to know.

Now, it was indeed an eye-opening experience.

Xiao Zheng looked at Tang Siqin with surprise, never expecting that this woman would hold such astonishing insight, discerning the piece and even recounting its history. He then nodded and said, "You are not wrong, that’s exactly it."

Tang Siqin, excited, asked, "Then may I ask... where did you learn this piece? Wasn’t it already destroyed by those Western musicians?"

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly.

Originally, in his quest to obtain the Golden Bone, he had caused a huge uproar in Europe, even attacking a very formidable place there, causing the underworld forces throughout Europe to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves.

It was during this process that he discovered the score of ’World’ in a treasure room of one power.

According to the records on the score, it belonged to a music lover who couldn’t resist the charm of ’World.’ He risked great danger to secretly hide it when the Western music world was destroying it, finally turning it into a collection of that great power.

The charm of ’World’ was too great; even Westerners couldn’t resist its allure. During the destruction, they still sought to preserve it.

Xiao Zheng, of course, graciously accepted it, as it was a treasure of Hua Country! Afterwards, he spent some effort and learned it.

The difficulty of playing ’World’ is extremely high, demanding considerable physical strength and technical skill, and one must also comprehend the grandiose ethos of swallowing the universe.

As the leader of Sky Net, Xiao Zheng found understanding this ethos far too simple. Possessing astonishing strength and apt technical skills, he quickly mastered it and played it to perfection.
