In the basement, a soft melody sounded at the boy's fingertips.

The strings vibrate with a soft tone, and the melody is like fine dust flying in the sun, quiet and melodious......

As Ye Qingxuan played, wisps of water vapor slowly condensed from the air, attached to his body, and fluttered out aimlessly in all directions.

Opposite him, Charles who was nibbling on fruit whistled, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "Oh yes, the third time it was successful?"

Ye Qingxuan commanded the wisps of water to float in the air, and replied: "It's a very simple melody, and it's all basic runes. Although the movement itself is difficult to understand, it will not be difficult to get started with the help of interpretation.

"I'm worried about your complacency, so I don't think I need to say more. ”

Charles muttered, picked up a screw from the ground, and flicked his fingers at the white wall behind Ye Qingxuan. The screw smashed against the wall, was bounced off, and fell straight towards the back of Ye Qingxuandi's head!

In mid-air, a fluttering line of water vapor was grazed by a screw, and in an instant, Ye Qingxuan's backhand stretched out to the back of his head, as if he had eyes behind him, and lightly caught the screw.

"Oh?"

Charles laughed, "It's good to be skilled." ”

Ye Qingxuan spread his hands and threw the screws back into the box on the ground.

All around him, the barely imperceptible lines of water vapor danced stiffly, and he was familiar with the sensation.

Now, these thin lines formed by the condensation of water vapor were like extensions of his limbs, and as long as the slightest touch could be quickly detected by Ye Qingxuan.

Gradually, the fluttering of those thin lines of water vapor became flexible, making Ye Qingxuan nod with satisfaction: "At present, it seems that the first measure of "Bolero" is still very relaxed. You'll be able to master it this afternoon. ”

"Make no mistake about it, Leaf. ”

Charles shook his head and patted the boy on the shoulder: "The most difficult part of "Bolero" is not in the performance, but in the ......"

"-Application!"

In an instant, Ye Qingxuan's eyes were full of flowers, and he fluttered and fell to the ground, almost falling into the mud

"I'm sorry. Sneak attack. ”

Charles spread his wrist and showed him the slowly dissipating 'note', shaking his head defiantly, and snorting:

"Otherwise. Let's practice, the loser has to wear women's clothes to buy dinner!"

Ye Qingxuan looked at him expressionlessly, and after making sure that he was serious, his eyes became dangerous: "That means I can beat you up casually?"

"That's right, come on~ Hero!"

Charles hooked his little finger: "Let me see what the vengeful evil spirits in the city of Mingzhen are capable of." ”

"I know you're provoking me, but I'm still going to be angry. Brother. ”

Ye Qingxuan got up from the ground, pinched his knuckles, twisted his neck, and grinned: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time." ”

"Hey, hey. ”

Xia Er laughed embarrassedly, but a dazzling light burst out from his hand without warning, illuminating Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

Immediately after, he felt someone trick into his arms, and his palm was pressed against his chest.

"-General. ”

Charles smiled, his fingers tightened.

Boom!

Notes. The violent wind pressure lifted the boy up, smashed it against the wall, and finally landed on a pile of dust cloths.

A puddle of dust was raised.

"I forgot to tell you the rules. ”

Charles skillfully played: "As long as you stand up, it's started." In other words, if you want to throw in the towel, you just have to lie down honestly. ”

"That's so sweet. ”

Ye Qingxuan coughed violently and got up from the thick dust: "However, I won't give you a chance to lie down." ”

In the next moment, he flicked his fingers, and crisp notes burst from his fingertips, like the sound of frost cracking.

Frost rays shoot out.

Charles is like a prophet of the unknown. took a step across, then jumped backwards, dodging the boy's sneak attack on the next plate.

Before he could stand firm, Ye Qingxuan bullied him. Treat others in their own way--notes.qi.。

Boom!

Ye Qingxuan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he flew out upside down.

That's why I said that you have to look at your feet when you walk. ”

Charles shook his head, looking down at the runes that had dissipated on the ground, the notes he had left on the ground before he jumped, the technique of delaying the release.

It's a breeze. lure someone into a trap.

"It looks like you have no experience in musician duels other than the chief student challenge. ”

Charles shook his head and sighed, beckoning to the young man with enthusiasm on his face: "Come on, come on, let Senior Brother help you make up for this lesson." ”

"Tsk. ”

Ye Qingxuan spit out the dust that drifted into his mouth and pounced again.

Three seconds later, Charles withdrew the palm that was pressed on Ye Qingxuan's heart. The boy lost his strength, knelt on the ground and gasped, sweat seeping out of his pores, leaving a ** mark on the ground.

That's what he does best.

"Have you rested?"

Charles paced unhurriedly around him, leisurely and comfortable: "It's okay, rest a little longer, and you won't have to fight until dinner." ”

This bastard is still provoking him, Ye Qingxuan knows it.

He simply sat on the ground and didn't get up.

The originally irritable eyes gradually calmed down.

No, there's something wrong, it's not right at all...... It's like you're being pressed and beaten! It's like you're challenging a monster with no body. So every time I lose, it's inexplicable.

It's not that the other party is strategic, it's not that the other party is strong, it's not that it's too reckless, and it's not because of its weakness.

So what's wrong? It's as if he knew what he's going to do!

Foresee......

Ye Qingxuan's eyes lit up, he raised his head, and his eyes narrowed.

In the faint light, the dust kicked up by the two of them was still fluttering, refracting the light and scattering it. But when the boy looked closely, he noticed an abnormality around Charles.

On him, there were more than a dozen slender and hidden lines of water vapor floating, emanating from his body, then extending in the air, and finally ......

He looked along the thin line and finally came to his senses.

-- Those threads, wrapped around themselves!

"This is the 'application' of Bolero?"

It dawned on him.

"Yes, it only took five minutes to figure it out. Originally, I was going to abuse the food for half an hour first, but it's a pity. Charles shrugged:

"Do you want to continue? ”

Ye Qingxuan got up from the ground. This time, he stared at Charles, "How did you do that?"

"What's the point? 'Foresight'? That's just your delusion. ”

Charles held up a finger: "Everything I know, all comes from you." Think about it. Come to think of it, how do I know?"

"Because of the 'threads' created in the first stanza of the Bolero?"

"It's a bit reliable, but it's not enough. ”

Charles shook his fingers: "Just by reading the line, at best, I can only find out where you are."

If you want to beat you unilaterally, you need something else to cooperate. Lean on something you didn't notice at all.

Think, leaf, don't stop thinking! Keep thinking...... Dig down! Never stop thinking when you are in a duel, and to stop thinking is to choose to admit defeat.

Admitting defeat is equivalent to death!"

In the next moment, he deceived himself, and Ye Qingxuan subconsciously dodged backwards, exerting a 'barrier' effect on himself that was better than nothing.

But he saw the shadow that was rushing towards him...... Dissipated?

Note.mirror!

Charles' hand knife slashed at the base of his neck from behind, knocking him down with ease. In the boy's bewildered eyes, he whistled. Flick your finger.

At the fingertips, several threads connecting Ye Qingxuan emitted a faint light, and they died with life.

-- Passive resistance is useless. He said, "I know all your thoughts." ”

He was answered by a flame burning from the boy's fingertips.

On the ground, Ye Qingxuan burned the 'thread' connected to him with an expressionless face, and got up from the ground:

"Come again. ”

"Okay. ”

In the next moment, the palms of the two pressed on their instruments at the same time, and the same melody sounded from under the two hands at the same time.

"Bolero".First measure!

In that soft and quiet melody, several lines of water vapor emerged out of thin air from Ye Qingxuan's body, winding towards Charles.

In the hands of the Charles. In the same way, the threads are entangled, and the threads of the two people are bound to each other's bodies, and the entanglement becomes a mess.

The moment the water vapor thread wrapped around Xia Er's body, Ye Qingxuan's eyes changed.

Stunned and amazed.

He actually ...... Sensing the Aether under Charr's control?

"What's wrong? Is it such a surprising thing to sense someone else's aether?"

Charles didn't care that his ether fluctuations were detected by Ye Qingxuan. said lightly: "Now you understand, right?"

Voicing is not a substitute for touch, it is an extension of perception! This is its function, it is the eye of the musician.

A pair of eyes that make every intent, every movement, every fluctuation of the notes of the enemy nowhere to hide.

――Congratulations, you're finally getting started. ”

In the next moment, there was a crisp sound.

Charles raised his hand, and without warning, released a ray of frost knots—the cast was quickly depleted. All musician apprentices love it.

Ye Qingxuan's face changed, and he didn't react!

He was obviously able to sense the other party's ether fluctuations, but in that chaotic fluctuation, Ye Qingxuan didn't notice that he was playing notes at all.

Of course, after he was weakened, his face was covered with white frost, and even his breathing became difficult.

"What's the matter? I've got the door open here. ”

Charles tilted his head to look at him, "You didn't even see what rune I was going to cast?"

"In such a short period of time, you always have to give me time to react. Ye Qingxuan stretched out his hand to wipe the hoarfrost off his face: "The changes in the ether are too chaotic, I can't find a pattern." ”

"Use your brain, make it spin. ”

Charles sighed in hatred: "What about the interpretation, what about the interpretation, what have you learned these days?" ”

"Interpretation?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly grasped a clue, and involuntarily followed Charles's guidance and thought downward:

"Interpretation ......" (To be continued.) )
