Chapter 212: Player Yuans First Public Appearance (1/2)
The place fell into silence once again after Song Ling'er's domineering words, and the participants trembled at the thought of challenging Song Ling'er.
The participants then turned to look at Yuan who suddenly looked much bigger than previously, almost like he'd grown a few sizes. However, that was just their admiration for Yuan making it seem like he was bigger than normal.
After witnessing his god-like performance that'd seemingly summoned a goddess instead of a god, they did not feel like competing against such a monster.
Suddenly, someone within the participants stood up and approached Yuan.
The others there turned to look at this individual, who was Wei Kang.
Once he was standing before Yuan, to everybody's surprise, Wei Kang lowered his head and bowed to Yuan before speaking in a respectful voice, ”Congratulations on winning the competition, Senior. You definitely deserve it even though the whole thing was somewhat abnormal and unprecedented.”
”L-Look! That arrogant Wei Kang is lowering his head to someone else that isn't Senior Fairy Song!”
”I can see that for myself!”
A few moments later, Ai Wan followed Wei Kang's footsteps and also bowed to Yuan in a respectful manner.
”Hello, Senior. I am Ai Wan, and I would like to thank you for opening my eyes today. This may sound a little disrespectful to my master, but you have broadened my views with your zither arts. Hopefully, we can play the zither together in the future.”
Yuan nodded at them and said, ”Thank you. If there's ever a chance, let's play the zither together.”
Sometime later, Song Ling'er asked the other two judges, ”Do you have anything else to say? If you are not satisfied with the results, we can talk about it.”
Senior Zou quickly shook his head and said, ”No, there's no need. I already knew the results of this competition the moment he played the Soul Ensnaring Zither before my very eyes, and if I was as daring as you, Senior Song, I would've also ended the competition early.”
”What about you, Elder Jing? Do you have something else to add?” Senior Zou then asked Elder Jing, who quickly shook his head.
”Do whatever you want. I am only here because my sect is sponsoring the competition. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be here.” Elder Jing shrugged.
”Then it's decided.”
They turned to look at Song Ling'er, who nodded.
A few moments later, Song Ling'er turned to look at Yuan and Fei Yuyan and spoke in a loud voice that resounded clearly, ”This concludes the zither competition! Congratulations to the winners, Fei Yuyan and 'Yuan' from the Dragon Essence Temple, for achieving first place in this competition!”
”W-What did she just say?”
”Huh? Did I just hear 'Yuan'?”
The players there stared at the figure wearing the black jade mask with shocked looks on their faces.
Literally, three seconds later, a large notification appears directly above the competition, confirming the players' doubt.
[Congratulations to the participants that have attained the top three for this event!]
