Chapter 601: 601 Taking my cousin on a flight, Sister Lan is omnipotent [1 more update]

Since the "Battle-Breaking Music," the first "Killing Song" was lost, the "Water Dragon’s Chant" has become the strongest existing attack piece.

Unlike the "Battle-Breaking Music," the "Water Dragon’s Chant" weakens when aimed at multiple targets, but when focused on a single target, its power greatly increases.

Therefore, the "Killing Song" called "Water Dragon’s Chant" is suited for one-on-one battles.

Currently, within the younger generation of the Yunjing Lin Family, Lin Shiyuan was the only one who could play the "Water Dragon’s Chant."

Even Lin Zhushuang couldn’t manage to play the "Water Dragon’s Chant" in its entirety.

The piece, "Water Dragon’s Chant," cemented Lin Shiyuan’s status as unquestioned, and the Yunjing Lin Family had high hopes for her.

Lin Qin obviously knew this too, so when she heard Ye Wanlan say that, her pupils abruptly constricted, "Cousin?!"

What did she mean by asking if she wanted to learn the "Water Dragon’s Chant"?

The "Water Dragon’s Chant" played by a Musician of Heavenly Sound and what ordinary people hear in concert halls may be the same piece, but playing it reverberated versus playing it straight resonated with utterly different meanings.

In these past months in the main family, Lin Qin had also obtained the real "Water Dragon’s Chant," but sadly, she could only play a short section before exhausting her energy and being unable to continue.

No wonder Lin Shiyuan was hailed as the person closest to Lin Fanyin in the past three hundred years.

"If you want to learn, then it’s possible," Ye Wanlan said with a faint smile. "I’ll teach you."

Lin Qin felt somewhat disheartened, "Cousin, I have the music score, but I can’t play it. Am I useless?"

"Qinqin, you should know, the reason why the legacies of the Six Great Sects are broken is that the elders are no longer here," Ye Wanlan spoke softly. "Some legacies can only truly be passed on from person to person, especially the Heavenly Music Method. Having only the music score is far from sufficient; you have no need to belittle yourself."

Lin Qin was taken aback, she opened her mouth but couldn’t find any words to say for a long time.

She wanted to ask—So Cousin, how did you learn it?

Even though Lin Qin had many questions, she did not ask further because she was certain of one thing—Ye Wanlan would never harm her.

"The reason for choosing the ’Water Dragon’s Chant’ is that it can enhance the speed of your Inner Strength growth to the greatest extent," Ye Wanlan’s fingers touched the strings, "Watch closely—"

"Zeng!"

A sharp, abrupt staccato resonated, as if a spring had broken through upon sharp rocks.

At that moment, Lin Qin felt as if she could hear a dragon’s roar descending from the ninth heaven down to Earth.

Bold and unrestrained pride was evident.

"Zeng zeng—"

The melody intensified, and the sound of the Dragon Sing became even more vivid.

As a highly attacking "Killing Song," the "Water Dragon’s Chant" also possessed immense musical beauty, after all, it was an epic born of generations of wisdom.

Lin Qin was completely immersed in the piece.

It was only when the last note fell and the piece ended, that she suddenly snapped out of it.

Lin Qin’s eyes sparkled as she looked toward Ye Wanlan, "Cousin, you are so incredible!"

She had been learning the Heavenly Music Method for some time and knew it was easy to release an attack, but much harder to retract it.

Ye Wanlan was clearly playing a "Killing Song," yet she perfectly reined in the murderous intent, not releasing an ounce of it.

"With enough practice, anything is possible," Ye Wanlan smiled. "You don’t need to practice this tonight, just knowing how to play is enough."

Lin Qin’s expression was resolute, "Understood."

**

The next morning, Ye Wanlan left Lin Qin’s courtyard.

She didn’t return to her own courtyard but left the Lin Family and took a taxi to the Yunjing Research Institute.

The incident of Academician Wu being taken away by the Inspection Team had infuriated the head of the Yunjing Research Institute, and these days, the higher-ups had been rectifying the institute.

All of Ye Wanlan’s actions were also reported to Lin Shiyuan by the Hidden Guard.

"Oh? She left so early?" Lin Shiyuan murmured, playing her zither, "Where did she go?"

"It seems she headed towards the Yunjing Research Institute," the young man said, somewhat confused, "I didn’t follow her, so I don’t know the exact purpose of her visit."

"Yunjing Research Institute?" Lin Shiyuan pondered briefly, "Ye Wanlan is truly an interesting person."

A rebel to the core, born with a contrary nature.

Truly the granddaughter of Lin Weilan.

The young man then asked, "Does Miss Shiyuan need me to send someone to the Research Institute to bring her back?"

"No need," Lin Shiyuan replied indifferently, shaking her head. "Let’s see what she intends to do first."

The young man bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Miss Shiyuan."

Meanwhile, at the Yunjing Research Institute,

after completing the task of repairing the Shen Wei Spear, Faluk, a genius from a forging family, was also involved in the research work of the submarine.

"Miss Ye, you’ve arrived!" Faluk was pleasantly surprised to see Ye Wanlan, as he set down his Forging Hammer, "Old Wu was just talking about you again just now."

Ye Wanlan said, "Mhm, Old Wu called me yesterday, said the approval document had come through, and asked me to join the project team."

"We’ve been waiting for you, Miss Ye," Faluk said with a smile. "Old Wu is next door, and since I’m still studying the materials, I won’t accompany you over."

Ye Wanlan nodded and headed to the neighboring experimental hall.

Currently, the submarine project team consisted of only one hundred and fifty-eight people, all carefully selected by Academician Wu.

However, for such a large experimental project, this number was still too small.

Ye Wanlan’s arrival left the researchers taken aback.

Some recognized her, but others who paid no attention to the entertainment industry had no idea who she was.

"Wanlan is here," Academician Wu was very pleased. "Let me introduce everyone, this is Ye Wanlan, and from now on, she’ll be a member of our project team."

...

A silence fell upon the room as he spoke.

The researchers looked at each other.

Even those who didn’t recognize Ye Wanlan could tell from her appearance that she was only about twenty years old.

And here the youngest researcher, Pei Nanze, was already twenty-four years old. However, he was a PhD student at Yunjing University and had certain abilities.

If they remembered correctly...

Ye Wanlan, although admitted to Yunjing University, was studying humanities, right?

Even though she had won first place in the team competition of the high school biology and physics contests, that was far from enough for researching submarines!

Why would Academician Wu let Ye Wanlan join the experimental project team?

Eventually, it was Pei Nanze who broke the silence, slowly saying, "Teacher Wu, we respect your leadership and also believe that if this experimental project is successful, it will surely take Shenzhou to the next level, and the Global Center will definitely not act rashly again."

The other researchers nodded in agreement.

More than a decade ago, the Global Center had already started the submarine experiment, which was still underway.

Due to the lack of equipment in this field, humanity had still not been able to delve deep into the Nanling Sea to investigate its mysteries.

Shenzhou, due to the lack of sufficient scientific personnel and core technology, had been unable to embark on this field’s work.

It wasn’t until Academician Wu initiated this experiment that the Research Institute rejoiced, seeing the inevitable rise of Shenzhou.

However, because the experimental progress was very challenging, it was possible to spend a lifetime on this project and never see the dream realized, which also caused fear among many.

Pei Nanze was furious.

He had foregone other experiments which would have easily earned him honors and merits, by investing himself in the submarine project, he had already made a great sacrifice.

Why should Academician Wu selfishly cram a history student into their ranks for his own reasons?

Did Ye Wanlan know what nuclear power is, what a double hull surrogate structure is?

With mere high school physics knowledge?

"Teacher Wu, if you insist on having her join the group, then I am sorry, but I retract my previous statement," Pei Nanze removed the badge from around his neck and said indifferently, "I will not participate in this project."

For when nepotism becomes accepted, science loses all its meaning.
