The staff escorted Klein to the piano. He reached out and touched the stool, then slowly sat down. Although his movements were slow, his demeanor was calm and composed, without the slightest bit of panic that a blind person would have.
After Coleman sat down, he turned his face towards the audience and nodded in greeting.
There was thunderous applause from the audience!
They applauded Coleman for overcoming his illness and returning to the stage!
Kleinman, wearing a hearing aid, heard some applause and became excited. He loved the stage and the piano in front of him. It felt great to be back on stage.
Kleiman sat up straight and placed his hands lightly on the keys.
This was Coleman's first time on a big stage after his disability, and he was somewhat nervous. It wasn't until a hand gently patted his shoulder that Coleman felt Song Ci's trust and encouragement. He silently repeated to himself several times, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine."
After repeating this to himself, Coleman gradually calmed down.
Song Ci's stomachache was getting worse and worse. She secretly leaned her waist against the tripod piano, got a little support, and felt much more at ease.
Coleman's hands moved, his fingertips fell, and each key emitted a sonorous tone, which combined together was full of murderous and decisive momentum!
Kleinman proved his ability to everyone with facts! Even if he was blind and deaf, he was still the king of piano!
At the same time, Song Ci also raised his bow and placed it on the violin. In a second, Song Ci's expression became solemn, and in an instant, a majestic melody spread throughout the audience!
As soon as they heard the music, their scalps went numb, and their innate senses seemed to be awakened.
They were clearly sitting in a concert hall, but they felt as if they had traveled back in time to an ancient battlefield, right in the middle of a battle. They were surrounded by warriors, all roaring and shouting, rushing towards the enemy camp without hesitation.
They raised their swords and drew their bows and arrows, fighting to the death to defend their country and their families!
Even Han Zhan, a music idiot, got goosebumps after hearing Song Ci's concerto. Elise, upon hearing this majestic piece, knew she had lost.
Songci's "God of War Concerto" was inspired by Nangong Xian's experiences fighting on the frontier six hundred years ago. Guarding the frontier, she witnessed countless family and national hatreds, life and death separations, and desperate battles.
There was once a Rongdi general who led 20,000 soldiers in a desperate battle against the Nangong army, but his entire army was annihilated. He stood in the middle of the battlefield, covered in corpses, holding his sword, and fought to the very end!
His name is Tuluna, and he is Nangong Xian’s most admired opponent!
Tuluna was eventually killed by Nangong Xian's Sun Chaser Arrow. After his death, Nangong Xian did not cut off his head to claim the credit. She left Tuluna's body intact and buried him under a tree outside the city he had fought so hard to defend.
Under the joint interpretation of Song Ci and Coleman, everyone seemed to see a powerful god of war leading 20,000 iron soldiers, fearless of life and death, fighting bloody battles, and fighting to the death!
They roared, shouted, and killed desperately to defend their country!
But then, the music shifted abruptly, from heroic and domineering to mournful and desolate. Everyone seemed to witness a scene: a tall, exhausted general leading his men in battle until dawn, ultimately outnumbered and tragically defeated! Standing on a battlefield littered with corpses and bodies, the general gazed out at a devastated land, rivers of blood and devastation.
He hated, hated the cruelty and injustice of war!
He was heartbroken that all his men were wiped out!
Finally, he drew his sword, roared and fought until the last moment of his life, until he was shot to death by a long arrow through the heart!
The music suddenly stopped, and the tragic scene before my eyes was instantly shattered.
They were brought back to the real world.
Everyone then realized that what they saw was just an illusion. When they came to their senses and looked at the stage, Coleman and Song Ci had already stopped playing.
The two men stood side by side at the piano, bowing to them in thanks.
After a brief moment of daze, everyone stood up and clapped their hands vigorously to pay tribute to the most exciting performance in the history of the competition!
When Song Ci heard the deafening applause like thunder, a relaxed smile finally appeared on her face.
That smile makes all the flowers bloom, which is a beautiful sight in the world.
Song Ci held Clement's hand and bowed to the audience again.
The two walked hand in hand towards the exit. As they took their first steps, Song Ci felt a warm current flowing down her legs. She hesitated for a moment, lifted the hem of her skirt and glanced down, only then discovering three or four bloodstains on her fair legs!
Song Ci took a breath.
She held the zither and glanced at Han Zhan in the audience, her eyes filled with horror and fear.
"Han Zhan..."
Song Ci heard her own heartbeat like thunder, and her head was buzzing.
Han Zhan had been watching Song Ci's every move. He noticed she paused and reached up to lift the hem of her skirt. He immediately looked under it. Seeing the bright bloodstains on Song Ci's legs, Han Zhan jumped up from his seat and ran onto the stage like a gust of wind. Under the bewildered gazes of the judges and audience, he picked up Song Ci and ran offstage.
"Who is this person?"
The host, who had been standing next to Han Zhan, also noticed Song Ci's sudden change. She quickly took the stage to take control of the situation, explaining, "Dear audience, judges, perhaps Cherry's performance was so wonderful that the baby in her belly couldn't wait to come out and meet her mother. Cherry will definitely give birth to a smart, lively, and well-behaved child. I wish them both safety and well-being."
