Chapter 136 - 136 134 Critical Damage

136: Chapter 134 Critical Damage 136: Chapter 134 Critical Damage Qin Hao finished his performance, yet the venue remained silent, seeming to be still immersed in the music Qin Hao had just presented.

Qin Hao performed for a total of five minutes, including the piano piece.

But everyone present seemed to share a tacit long silence, lasting nearly eight minutes!

During these eight minutes, who knows what kind of shock they experienced within, how much they savored Qin Hao’s performance, how much they were enamored!

Suddenly, applause erupted like a wildfire, intensifying slowly until the entire room clapped like a thunderous roar!

“Bravo!

This is definitely the most exhilarating performance I’ve heard in my life!

Damn it, it feels like I’ve no regrets in this life!”

“A man ought to sing this kind of song!

It’s bold!

I’m impressed!”

“Everyone is crying?

Tears still streaking across their faces?

That’s right!

Cry!

Cry your damn hearts out!”

Cheers resounded continuously.

The applause surged, refusing to fade away!

This time, the applause came straight from their hearts!

Their hands were sore, yet they continued to clap vigorously, expressing their admiration for Qin Hao!

The judges on the panel now looked at Qin Hao with complex gazes.

They initially thought Qin Hao was here to make a joke, but now realized they were the ones who had misjudged.

“Scoring…how much?”

Soon, this question caused them all to fall silent.

“I think although his performance was good, it lacked grade.” Suddenly, the girl with twin pigtails spoke, her expression not looking pleasant, seemingly speaking against her heart.

“Grade?”

Many shook their heads, thinking Qin Hao’s piano performance was nearly perfect.

The resonant melody and passionate tuning demanded extremely high skill to master, yet Qin Hao performed effortlessly, leaving them all feeling ashamed of their own inadequacies in comparison.

“In terms of fame, ‘Praise of Love’ is indeed world-renowned, but I feel art cannot judge heroism by fame, nor determine victory or grade by it.”

“The essence, sensory pleasure, performance standard, these might be more important than fame.”

“The feeling his performance gave me in every aspect was perfect, moving my soul.

Perhaps ten days later, I’ll still remember Qin Zhiwen’s ‘Praise of Love’.

But ten years later, the only thing I’ll remember is Qin Hao’s ‘We Are Different’.”

A girl with long flowing hair spoke objectively.

The president of the arts club, she admired Qin Hao immensely, and soon gave her score—

10 points!

Perfect score!

This should have been a score that stunned the audience, yet all the judges appeared calm, not surprised, as if this was the reasonable score in their hearts.

Finally, each judge gave their final score.

The girl with twin pigtails had been silent for a long time before revealing a bitter smile.

“Qin Zhiwen, I thought I would only be impressed by your piano skills, but this time, I realized I was wrong.

I ask myself, he truly has surpassed your level, and I was incredibly astonished.

You’re not as good as him!”

The girl with twin pigtails also gave a score of ten!

Qin Hao’s final score—ten!

Perfect score!

“Yes!”

Upon seeing this score, the entire room erupted in joy, not shock, just pure happiness at Qin Hao’s acknowledgment, because everyone felt Qin Hao deserved this score!

On stage, Qin Hao slightly smiled and left gracefully, leaving the orchestra members standing foolishly in place.

The thunderous applause was all for Qin Hao alone; for the orchestra, it was more like a series of slaps in the face, making them overwhelmingly ashamed.

Qin Hao stepped off the stage, reached backstage, and happened to see Qin Zhiwen pounding the wall with his fists, his face full of anger, sighing continuously.

Chen Xinrou stood silently beside him, her face looking extremely unpleasant as well.

She never imagined Qin Hao would score a perfect ten!

Had she not witnessed it herself, she would never have believed it!

“Oh, are you devastated?”

Qin Hao looked at Qin Zhiwen and said mockingly.

Qin Zhiwen’s lips quivered; he was indeed hit hard enough to drive him mad!

Piano was his last pride, something he wanted to rely on to turn the tables, yet he never dreamed it would lead to Qin Hao crushing him utterly!

He hadn’t even managed to make a comeback before Qin Hao had flattened him directly!

What arrogance did he have in front of Qin Hao now?

Even Qin Zhiwen himself couldn’t find the words!

He felt a deep sense of defeat, and a profound powerlessness, as if facing an insurmountable mountain!

“Don’t be so smug, only two points higher than us!”

Qin Zhiwen gritted his teeth, trying to hold onto his last shred of dignity!

“Is that so?”

Qin Hao smiled faintly, said while walking: “You got 9.8 points because that’s the extent of your skills.

And I got 10 points because that’s the limit of the scoring!

As for the real difference, look up at the sky, perhaps you’ll realize how vast it is!”

“You!”

Qin Zhiwen suddenly clutched his chest; Qin Hao’s words dealt him a huge blow!

He almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

But he had nothing to say, because even within himself, he couldn’t refute Qin Hao’s words.

Suddenly, as if all strength had been drained from him, Qin Zhiwen collapsed to the floor, as if with a snap, his last shred of dignity was shattered completely by Qin Hao’s words.

Chen Xinrou wanted to console Qin Zhiwen, but found no words, then looked at Qin Hao’s retreating figure, with a bitter smile, realizing perhaps she wasn’t qualified to comfort Qin Zhiwen, as she herself was a failure!

Two failures, silently nursing their wounds here.

In fact, Chen Xinrou envied Qin Zhiwen greatly; to her, Qin Hao’s revenge on Qin Zhiwen was already more than enough.

Qin Hao’s promise never to let go was already enough for Qin Zhiwen.

But what about her?

Chen Xinrou felt immense fear, knowing Qin Hao’s vengeance against her was far from over.

“How do you plan to punish me?”

Chen Xinrou bit her lip tightly, her face pale, living in a constant state of anxiety.

The art event would continue.

But after hearing Qin Hao’s performance, Qin Zhiwen’s piano piece lost its flavor, and others felt even more let down, with subsequent acts scoring a mere 7.5 at best.

Ultimately, Qin Hao unsurprisingly won this competition, earning rapturous applause.

Zhao Mengke also unsurprisingly, very ‘considerately’ helped Qin Hao claim his prize money!

Her adorable face beaming with happiness.

After the perfect ending, Qin Hao and the others left the performing center.

“Qin Hao, you certainly didn’t let me down.” Zhao Mengke continued in a fatherly manner, patting Qin Hao’s shoulder, blushing slightly as she recalled how captivating Qin Hao’s performance was.

“I feel a lot of pressure.” Qin Hao said solemnly.

“What pressure?” Zhao Mengke asked curiously.

At this, Qin Hao looked up at the sky from a 36-degree angle, speaking with deep seriousness: “The world is in chaos now, with a man as outstanding and charming as I am, walking down the street, I fear beautiful women might not resist using force on me!

Alas, such sadness!

The pressure is overwhelming!”

Poof.

Zhao Mengke couldn’t help laughing, defeated by Qin Hao.

Gu Qinyue giggled, covering her mouth.

At that moment, Qin Hao was startled, as he bumped into someone he knew.

That person was Cheng Yong’s son, Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming also seemed to have just come out of the performing center and was shocked for a moment, then looked at Qin Hao with a complex expression, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say something but hesitating.

After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Ming finally gritted his teeth and approached Qin Hao, saying, “Qin Hao, I have a request.”

“Speak.” Qin Hao nodded.

This time, Cheng Ming paused and said, “In a few days, I hope you can attend Sister Junjun’s funeral.”
