The songs continued.
Hundreds of people broke through small stages in their cultivation during this musical banquet, and a few even broke through entire major realms—little Xi Ya, for instance, was one of them.
Even for those who didn’t break through, everyone’s cultivation saw a significant improvement.
A total of thirty-three songs were performed!
Every single one contained a beautiful expectation for the world, an infinite longing for the future, and the determination to walk the path of the strong!
We are on the road.
We do not compromise!
“Finally, everyone, please stand up!” Zhang Ye croaked into the microphone, his voice raspy.
After singing continuously, his mana was severely depleted. Even with the replenishment from magic crystals, the feeling of emptiness from his mana being frantically drained was uncontrollable, but Zhang Ye didn’t care.
At this moment, he was drenched in sweat, but the light radiating from him was dazzling.
As soon as he spoke, everyone stood up in unison, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at the figure on the stage.
“I’ll dedicate this last song, ‘Dream of a Pure Heart,’ to all of you!” Zhang Ye shouted.
The next moment, the melodious rhythm rang out once again.
The soothing singing brought an unprecedented peace to everyone’s hearts.
However, they knew that hidden beneath this peace was an absolute, scorching heat!
“Where exactly is the world full of flowers~”
“If it truly exists, then I will surely go there~”
“I want to stand on the highest peak there~”
“I don’t care if it’s a sheer cliff or a precipice~~~”
Zhang Ye opened his arms and sang with his most innocent voice.
Everyone raised their hands high, swaying gently to the slow tempo.
“Live with all your might, love with all your might, even if it costs your life~”
“Don’t seek anyone’s approval, as long as you are true to yourself~”
“Regarding my ideals, I’ve never chosen to give up~”
“Even in those days when I was dejected and covered in dust~”
Zhang Ye reached out and pointed at the audience, a warm smile on his face.
At this moment, everyone felt their hearts enveloped in heat and warmth.
“Maybe I have no talent~”
“But I have the innocence of dreams~”
“I will prove it with my entire life~~”
“Maybe my hands are clumsy~”
“But I’m willing to keep searching~”
“Giving all my youth to leave no regrets!!!”
At this point, the pitch suddenly soared, and everyone’s bodies couldn't help but tremble.
“Run forward!!!”
“Facing the cold glares and ridicule!!!”
“How can one feel the vastness of life without experiencing hardships!”
“Fate cannot make us kneel! And! Beg! For! Mercy!”
“Even! If! Blood! Drenches! Our! Embrace!”
He bent over, veins popping on his neck as he sang with all his might, his voice sounding strained and raw.
Everyone was deeply moved, their eyes already brimming with tears.
On the path to becoming stronger, they had encountered too many hardships and too much toil. The future would only grow more difficult, and who could they talk to about their suffering?
To become strong, they had to endure it all.
And at this moment, his singing voiced their inner thoughts.
That raspy voice was telling their story.
They had faced difficulties and thought about giving up, but in the end, they had persevered.
The scorching heat in their hearts could no longer be suppressed, and their tears broke through the dams once again.
Below the stage, that small figure was crying even harder, like a pear blossom in the rain.
Cold glares and ridicule—had she not endured enough of them?
But she was still moving forward.
Not compromising was the perfect description of her life!
His singing was like a war drum, echoing in everyone’s hearts.
At this moment, they felt that they could face any hardship and overcome it!
“Keep running!!!”
“With the pride of a pure heart!!”
“How can one see the brilliance of life without persisting to the end!!”
“Better to burn with passion than to drag out a feeble existence!!”
“For the sake of the beauty in our hearts!!!”
“Never compromise until we grow old!!!”
The power of laws condensed above the arena, carrying the singing in all directions, throughout the entire All Souls City!
Everyone looked up at the sky, as if they saw a blazing star shining brilliantly in the cold night sky.
It was just like everyone’s hearts.
Never to be extinguished!
“Tell me, will you compromise?!!” Zhang Ye pointed the microphone toward the audience and roared.
“No!” everyone shouted in unison.
Zhang Ye put his hand to his ear and yelled, “I can’t feel your determination! Louder!!!”
“NO!!!” everyone roared with every ounce of their strength.
Even that humble, petite figure roared with everything she had.
Eyes filled with hot tears!
The fire in their hearts burned eternally!
Zhang Ye revealed a brilliant smile.
“I believe in you!”
“Don’t let yourselves down!”
“This is our era!”
“We must shoulder the responsibility of being the new generation!”
“The path of the strong is walked alone, but don’t forget, we are all the same!”
“Whether you are a human, a beastkin, a Dwarf, a Rock Spirit, a Gaso, a Zeshui... no matter who you are!”
“We are all the same!!!”
“We are on the road!!!”
The cheers almost shook the clouds in the sky until they dissipated.
The deans and mentors who had come to watch the concert were filled with shock.
This was the first time they had seen a concert like this.
An unprecedented shock!
Zhang Ye’s singing could actually trigger the power of laws?!
What did this mean?
It meant that even this world recognized Zhang Ye’s singing!
They looked at each other, and one thing was clear in all their hearts.
A brilliant star was slowly rising.
Perhaps one day, he could compete with the bright moon and illuminate the entire night sky!
“Thank you!” Zhang Ye exhaled a breath of hot air. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his hair was matted together, but he didn't look pathetic at all. Instead, he was incredibly dazzling.
“Next is the exciting lottery segment!” Zhang Ye pointed, and a hundred points of light appeared in the sky.
“One hundred lucky audience members will be randomly selected to receive three hundred points each.”
“And three lucky audience members will receive point gift packs of three thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand points respectively!”
“Snap! Let the draw begin!”
With a snap of Zhang Ye’s fingers, a hundred starlights moved rapidly above the spectator stands.
“Stop!” Zhang Ye shouted, and the starlights stopped simultaneously.
The next moment, the starlights turned into beams of light, enveloping a hundred audience members.
Those hundred people looked at themselves in surprise and joy.
“Congratulations to all of you!” Zhang Ye laughed. Through his badge, he directly transferred three hundred points to each person via mana links. The points arrived quickly, and joy was written all over the faces of the hundred audience members.
“Thank you, God of Song!”
Zhang Ye smiled. “You’re welcome.”
“Next up is the Lucky Grand Prize!”
With another snap of his fingers, three starlights emerged.
One blue, one purple, and one gold!
Then, the three starlights began to fly rapidly, tracing beautiful arcs in the air.
Everyone waited expectantly, hoping they would be the lucky one.
“Stop!”
The starlights halted, and as the three beams of light descended, everyone’s eyes fell upon those three individuals.
Though they felt regret, they still offered their applause.
Two males and one female—two seniors and one freshman.
And Zhang Ye even recognized the freshman who won the golden grand prize.
It was that cute and shy little Xi Ya!
Xi Ya looked around blankly, the surrounding gazes making her a bit timid. Her eyes were red, and she almost didn't dare to lift her head.
“Congratulations.”
Zhang Ye’s gentle voice reached her, and little Xi Ya looked up, meeting Zhang Ye’s gaze.
His smile was so soft.
Xi Ya suddenly felt like she wasn't so afraid anymore.
After handing out the three point prizes, Zhang Ye slowly spoke again.
“Does everyone want to see more concerts?”
“YES!!!” everyone shouted in unison.
Zhang Ye grinned. “No problem!”
“In the future, I’ll hold concerts irregularly. And since I’m a member of the Rock Guild, I’ll also frequently hold small concerts at the Rock Guild. Moreover, Rock Guild members get to watch my concerts for free~”
By this point, everyone knew what Zhang Ye meant.
But even if they knew, so what?
Watching his concerts not only allowed them to hear soul-stirring songs but also improved their cultivation. Many students who had been stuck at bottlenecks but broke through because of the concert had tasted the sweetness of it, and they couldn't wait to join the Rock Guild immediately!
On the other hand, the high-ranking members of other guilds who had come to watch the concert had expressions as if they were constipated.
This move was simply impossible to counter...
After today, they didn't know how many of their own guild members would quit, nor how packed the Rock Guild would become...
Judging by the effect of today’s concert, they absolutely believed that Zhang Ye had that kind of influence!
And so, the concert came to a perfect close!
Returning to the backstage, Zhang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
This single concert was more exhausting than four hours of actual combat.
At this time, everyone in the backstage gathered around.
Lina, Nan, Paige, Samanra, Talia, Renomon, Copico, Sabiba, Sacra, and the members of the Rock Guild.
Everyone had tears on their faces.
Lina threw herself directly at Zhang Ye, and he hurriedly caught her. She hugged him and began to wail loudly.
“Ye, you sang so well, waaaah... it was so good...” she sobbed while crying. “Ye, I won’t let you down. I’ll do my absolute best to become strong!”
Hearing this, Zhang Ye rubbed her short golden hair and gave a soft smile. “I believe in you!”
Renomon also wiped away his tears. “It even made a grown man like me cry...”
Copico added, “Exactly. Even the big lion cried like a little kitten...”
Looking at everyone with their red eyes, Zhang Ye laughed. “Music can pierce the heart and cause resonance in the soul. That is the powerful strength of music!”
“Teacher, why did our cultivation improve? Is that also the power of music?” Paige asked hurriedly.
Except for Lina, who was still at Tier Seven peak, everyone else had seen a significant improvement. Nan was even close to breaking through to Tier Nine peak!
Zhang Ye gave a mysterious smile. “That is the power of music, and it’s also the power of your Ye!”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside.
“God of Song!!!”
“We want to see the God of Song!!!”
“God of Song! God of Song!!”
Good heavens, the concert was over, but instead of leaving, a crowd was swarming toward the backstage with even more fervor. Their volume was loud enough to nearly lift the roof off the Grand Arena.
Everyone was startled. If it weren't for the Rock Guild members holding them back, Zhang Ye would likely have been buried under a sea of people.
Zhang Ye hurriedly said, “Let’s get out of here!”
With that, he bolted.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Ye, who was invincible and commanded such a powerful presence on stage, was actually fleeing in a panic.
It really was quite cute!
