"You are thinking too highly of yourself! And I'm not nervous at all!" thought Song Yan. He ignored Huang Quan and sat down in front of the piano, wondering what music he was going to play.
Suddenly, he had an idea. "The Dawn! You like to flaunt your skills, huh? Let me show you more advanced skills!" He smiled slyly to himself.
The ring system had provided him with ten pieces of piano music, and The Dawn was one of them. It was not a melodious music, but it needed great skills to play as performer had to strike thirteen keys together.
With only ten fingers, a person is unable to strike thirteen keys together. As a result, The Dawn was unable to be played by a single performer.
Song Yan flexed his fingers and stopped his hands on the keys. As Huang Quan and Han Sha watched closely, his hands rippled over the keyboard and the notes came out like a storm.
"Is he pecking at the keys?" Huang Quan shivered on hearing the sound, confused. But after a little while, his eyes widened as Song Yan's fingers moved faster and faster. Huang even saw the afterimage of his fingers.
The music became more and more fierce, and even a little harsh. Huang Quan, however, was too shocked to say anything. He heard the sound of eleven and even twelve keys.
The song reached its climax as if a sudden flood was unleashed from the mountain.
Song Yan was playing faster and faster. He even pressed thirteen and fourteen keys together. Actually, he was unable to do it just with the skill of Piano Master. But his physical strength was five times as ordinary people and he had Inner Force. As a result, his fingers were much more flexible.
Huang Quan's jaw went slack. Han Sha, however, was unaware of this. She only realized that Song Yan had a great hand speed.
After playing, Song Yan took a long breath and released the air slowly. It was not easy for him to play The Dawn, and he used at least one-tenth of his Inner Force.
"Mr. Huang, how is Song Yan's playing?" Han Sha turned to Huang Quan.
Huang Quan regained some composure on hearing her question. He stared at Song Yan with mixed feelings and admitted sheepishly, "He is brilliant! I'm afraid even piano masters are unable to perform the song he played."
"Really?" she asked in disbelief. "I don't think it's a beautiful piece of music."
"Well, it's not attractive indeed. But it is definitely the hardest music to play." Huang Quan gave a bitter smile. He made an excuse and left the piano room as he was too ashamed of himself to keep staying there. He had even bragged before Song Yan. What a fool he was! He might be unable to play the music even he practiced extra two decades.
"He finally leaves!" Song Yan said as he winked at Han Sha.
"You did it on purpose!" she cried.
He nodded and smiled slyly.
"Why did he leave in such a hurry after hearing the music. Is the music really so hard to play?" she asked in confusion.
He explained to her why most piano masters were unable to play The Dawn.
"You mean, you can press fourteen keys together?" she asked in disbelief, eyes wide.
He nodded again and offered, "Miss Han, The Dawn is not good. Let me play a beautiful song for you."
He sat back in front of the piano and began to play Blue and White Porcelain.
