Arriving in the ultimate world without learning a musical art would indeed leave one feeling somewhat soulless.
His eyes sharpened, and he asked in a calm tone while looking into his phone:
"Xiu, what if I were to be your assistant?"
"You'll assist me? You can play guitar? You understand music?"
Xiu was stunned upon hearing this and pressed for more questions.
"I can't do it now, but I can learn!"
Lan Tianyu's answer was concise and to the point.
"What? Learn it on the spot?"
"Tianyu, are you kidding me? Playing the Soul-Collecting Song is no child's play!"
"Guitar technique, tone, and special resonance—which of these doesn't require years of practice? How can it be mastered quickly?"
Xiu felt it was absurd, and his voice rose several decibels.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"I have a photographic memory and my learning ability far surpasses that of ordinary people."
"As long as you are willing to teach, I will impart all the key points of playing, fingering techniques, and methods of using my special abilities."
"I might be able to get the hang of it in a very short time and reach a level where I can barely keep up with you."
"This is the only way right now!"
Lan Tianyu spoke with unwavering certainty, radiating a domineering confidence.
Silence fell again on the other end of the phone.
This time the silence lasted even longer.
Time slips away unnoticed.
Xiu was clearly going through a fierce internal struggle.
Lan Tianyu's suggestion sounded like a complete fantasy.
But with his teammates absent, this seems to be the only theoretically possible way out?
"call……"
After a long silence, a long sigh came from the other end of the phone, as if he had used up all his strength, his voice carrying a resolute determination:
"Okay, Tianyu, I believe you this time."
"Let's give it a try. Hopefully, your learning ability is really as extraordinary as you say!"
Where should we meet?
“Xia Mansion!” Lan Tianyu said immediately.
"Okay, I'll be on my way right away. See you at the Xia Mansion!"
Xiu didn't hesitate any longer and decisively hung up the phone.
Lan Tianyu put away his time-traveling phone and teleported towards the direction of Xia Mansion.
at the same time.
In a dark space where even light is completely swallowed up.
A huge eyeball floats in the air.
Suddenly, a blood-red light flashed in those enormous pupils, a mixture of shock and rage.
An extremely suppressed and violent aura surged within the confined space.
He could clearly sense that the Stoneheart Killer program he had planted had self-destructed, and he did not see the Stoneheart Killer.
What this means is self-evident!
That means the plan to kidnap Summer has failed!
"Trash! They're all trash!"
An impulse powerful enough to destroy everything was frantically assaulting Illusion Eye's reason.
The enormous eyeball twisted violently, and the raging demonic energy nearly tore apart his carefully constructed hideout.
It had been planning for a long time, and had used almost all of its most hidden pieces.
Just when the goal of obtaining the Dragon Sealing Card seemed within reach, they failed at the last moment.
The immense frustration of such a plan going off track was an extremely rare humiliation for the Phantom Eye, who had always been in control of everything.
He wished he could descend upon the Xia Mansion immediately, grind everything there to dust, and seize the Dragon Sealing Card.
However, the remaining rationality fiercely suppressed this destructive urge.
This is his last and most hidden base in the Iron Dimension.
Once the demonic energy is released to cause destruction, it is highly likely to trigger the senses of high-level superhumans in the Iron Dimension, thereby revealing one's location.
At that time, high-level superhumans will surely come to besiege and kill him.
Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't want to expose himself.
"Calm down! We must calm down!"
Illusion Eye forced himself to control his emotions, but the sinister and violent aura did not dissipate; instead, it deepened.
"The Dragon Sealing Card must be mine!"
"Illusion Eye has been planning this for so long, there's no way I'll fail now!"
"I will definitely return to my peak! No one can stop me!"
He growled as if hypnotizing himself, sustained by a frenzied obsession.
The violent emotions were forcibly suppressed, and cold calculations regained the upper hand.
The enormous eyeball slowly rotated, gleaming with a sinister light.
"If we can't take it by force, then we'll use some softer methods. The Xia family isn't a monolithic entity."
A sinister and meticulous plan quickly took shape in his mind.
···Requesting flowers···· ·····
In the blink of an eye, a mental command spread out like ripples, penetrating the barrier of the dark space.
Before long, a faint ripple appeared at the edge of the space.
A figure shrouded in a wide black robe, its face obscured, appeared silently like a ghost.
He knelt respectfully beneath the Illusion Eye, his head bowed low.
"Master, what are your orders for summoning this humble servant?"
The man in black robes spoke in a hoarse, low voice, filled with a profound reverence.
Without a word, Illusion Eye made a thought.
An antique-looking ring, entirely black and exuding an ominous aura, appeared out of thin air and slowly floated down in front of the man in black robes.
The man in black immediately reached out his hands and carefully took the ring.
It feels icy cold to the touch, as if you are holding a piece of ice.
.. . ...
He sensed the strange rules contained within the ring, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face beneath the mask.
But he dared not ask any more questions, and simply held it respectfully in his palm, looked up at the Illusion Eye, and waited for the next instruction.
Illusion Eyes gave a cold laugh, his tone carrying a hint of cruelty.
"Find someone to lend this magic token to Xia Yu of the Xia Lanxingde family."
"Remember, that kid is smart. Make sure he gets the magic key by accident, and also make sure to reveal how to use it to him unintentionally."
"After that, you don't need to worry about it anymore; just observe how things develop."
Although the man in black robes was puzzled, his master's command was an absolute decree.
Without any hesitation, he immediately bowed his head and replied:
"Yes, Master, I understand."
"I will make all the arrangements and guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
"Very good, go down now, I'll be waiting for your good news."
Huanyan nodded slightly, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation.
The man in black robes said no more and bowed deeply once more.
His figure seemed to blend into the shadows, silently disappearing from the dark space.
Illusion Eye stared at the spot where the black-robed man had disappeared, his eyes flickering with uncertain light as he began to carefully review every detail of the plan he had just executed.
Exploiting human weaknesses to undermine from within...
This magic weapon was the first wedge he used to pry open the Xia family.
the other side.
Lan Tianyu arrived at the Xia Mansion, but he stood outside without going in.
Since I haven't learned the Soul Collection Song, going in now will be of no use.
He waited quietly, his gaze fixed on the darkness in the distance.
[191] Are you sick or am I sick?
A few minutes later.
A figure rushed from the distant street corner like a gust of wind, moving at great speed, carrying two huge guitar cases in his hands.
The person who came was Xiu.
His breathing was a little rapid, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, clearly indicating that he had rushed over with all his might.
Upon seeing Lan Tianyu waiting at the door, he abruptly stopped and let out a long breath.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, getting the equipment took a little longer!"
Xiu stopped in front of Lan Tianyu, took a deep breath, and handed one of the guitar cases to Lan Tianyu.
"Here you go, you can use this guitar to study later."
Lan Tianyu took the violin case; it felt slightly heavy in his hand, with an excellent texture.
He looked at Xiu and said gratefully, "Xiu, I'll have to trouble you later."
Xiu waved his hand, a hint of fatigue on his face, but his eyes remained sharp:
“Teaching guitar isn’t a big problem, but when ‘213’ plays the Requiem later, that’s when the real trouble begins.”
Lan Tianyu unzipped the guitar case, revealing a white guitar with sleek lines.
His fingers lightly brushed the strings, his voice carrying a powerful confidence:
"Don't worry, with me here, I will never let anything happen to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably:
"You're quite confident!"
"The dangers of the Soul Collection Song are beyond your imagination. What if it goes wrong? My soul will be sucked in and I'll be singing 'Tears Behind Bars'."
Lan Tianyu smiled faintly, a confident curve appearing at the corners of his mouth:
"My confidence comes from my strength."
Xiu was speechless at his almost arrogant certainty, but also felt a strange sense of security, and shrugged:
"Alright, it's good to be more confident..."
"Enough with the nonsense, let's find a secluded spot and get right to studying."
