"That's right, it's the interpretation method."

Charles whistled: "You don't think that the set of things taught by the teacher are just for interpreting music and ancient languages, do you? That's a way to teach you how to 'read'! Since it can help you understand music, and musical notes, why can’t we interpret the changes in the ether?”

Ye Qingxuan was silent, his expression changing, and he was deep in thought. Soon his brows furrowed again.

"Brother, please play a note for me to see."

Xia Eryi said, still with a frosty face.

Ye Qingxuan remained motionless this time, as if completely petrified, letting the entire frost ray hit his face, stinging extremely.

"I feel a little bit better."

Ye Qingxuan murmured in a low voice and raised his head: "Come again."

"OK."

Frosty face!

Snapped!

This time, Ye Qingxuan finally made a move, but it was too late. As soon as he raised his hand, frost stuck to his face again.

The pain is burning.

But he couldn't help but laugh.

It was as if after running in the darkness for a long time, a door was finally opened, and the light behind the door shone on his face. Although the light was weak, the whole world was completely different.

He finally understood why there were so many methods of omitting steps in the interpretation method just to get a vague result quickly.

It was a technique created to compress one's understanding time to the limit. Almost 90% of the information is omitted, just to advance by 0.1 seconds.

"Come again!"

"OK."

Just as Charles was about to raise his hand, he saw Ye Qingxuan's expression changed drastically, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't look at your face, my face hurts!"

"late."

Ciel raised his hand, still planning to frost his face.

Ye Qingxuan was startled and did not bother to beg for mercy. He quickly recited the syllables and subconsciously controlled the ether to form a shield on his chest.

The shield is smooth, like a bronze mirror.

Musical note·mirror.

Snapped!

The icy blue rays fell on the mirror, were deflected and reflected, and dissipated without a trace together with the mirror. The coldness spread, and the flying dust was frozen into ice powder, falling one after another.

But Ye Qingxuan was stunned, and Xia Er's smile also stiffened.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make a fool of yourself?"

Ye Qingxuan asked quietly: "Why did you change the chest? This is different from what was promised, senior brother."

"Ahahaha... I feel sorry for you, junior brother, why have you changed to a place with thick skin and rough flesh?" Charles laughed dryly:

"I didn't expect that, junior brother, your interpretation method has improved so quickly that you can even figure out where brother is aiming."

The young man's expression twitched: "If I don't figure it out, I'll have to take another Frost Festival Ray from you in vain, right?"

"How can you say that you are free of charge! You will gain wisdom by taking every step you take!"

Charles shamelessly boasted about himself: "Senior brother, I am also doing this for your own good!"

“…”

Regarding his reaction at that moment, Ye Qingxuan also secretly called him lucky.

Unexpectedly, during the crisis, his reaction speed increased a lot.

After subconsciously interpreting Ciel's etheric fluctuations, his body just reacted instinctively. Before his brain could react, he had already entered a defensive state.

"Junior brother, you seem to have had an epiphany!"

Charles smiled and asked, "Have you found the doorway?"

"Absolutely. In short, I just need to interpret you as a living piece of music, right?"

"That's basically what it means. It's just... I don't stand still like I can write music!"

As soon as Ciel finished speaking, the chanting of syllables in his mouth had ended. Around him, the boxes containing tiny screws trembled.

The magnetic field formed by the ether pulled the screws and nuts toward Charles's hand, spinning smoothly between his index fingers. The screams were heard one after another, ready to go!

Only now did Ye Qingxuan feel so clearly the almost absurd and terrifying talent in Charles... He had never seen anyone able to control hundreds of screws with one note, and without any preparation, just wave and move. So relaxed and freehand.

"Now that you have mastered the method, there is no need for me to hold back."

After the layers of screws, Charles's voice came: "Brother is about to enter the rape mode, you have to be careful."

"Wait, I'm not ready yet!"

Seeing the dense barrage, Ye Qingxuan was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Xiaer's words made Ye Qingxuan breathe a sigh of relief, but then the screws screamed one after another. They were ejected by the magnetic field and flew towards his limbs and chest without any intention of waiting.

Even though he no longer had any expectations for Xia Er's character, seeing him so crazed and heartless, Ye Qingxuan still felt heartbroken:

—The trust between people is gone!

"Are you concerned?"

He hugged his head and ran away: "I just finished learning the first verse of "Bolero" today!"

"Do you think the teacher taught you only the first section of Bolero today?"

Charles controlled the screws to keep flying out, chatting leisurely: "He has taught you the entire movement."

"Where in the world can there be such a short piece of music!"

“On the contrary, there is no longer piece of music in the world than Bolero.”

Charles laughed: "Because next, all the melodies are looped for this section! Each loop, the control you need to exert is twice that of the previous loop, and the number and length of the thought lines are also the same. It will multiply. That is to say: you can add melodies on top of each other endlessly. As long as you have enough control, its length is unlimited."

While dodging with difficulty, Ye Qingxuan quickly interpreted the laws of the ether and predicted the landing point of the screw, but on the other hand, he subconsciously calculated the control required for each cycle.

"You are kidding?"

He was stunned, "With this geometric growth, the control required in the eighth section is already 128 times that of the first section! Only a ghost can control it!"

Charles used only one sentence to make him shut up obediently:

"—Teacher's limit is measure 17."

It's not okay to continue to be beaten unilaterally like this.

While dodging in embarrassment, Ye Qingxuan could already feel the pain of being beaten all over his body: when he was analyzing Charles, Charles was also analyzing him.

He was aware of Ciel's every move, and conversely, his every move could not be hidden from him at all.

This was a special training he specially prepared for himself. He could have cut off his thoughts and directly played the melody of Black Friday to catch him off guard.

But what's the difference between this and admitting defeat

So, there are only two choices before you: either, lie down and admit defeat, then put on women's clothes and buy this bastard dinner.

Or, beat this bastard upright!

"I'll fight you!"

Amidst the flying screws, Ye Qingxuan jumped out from behind the obstacle with a determined look in his eyes.

"Can you finally bear it?"

After countless suspended screws, Ciel shook his head.

He stared at the young man, but his perception was more sensitive than his eyes. He could feel everything: countless dust was flying in this dark room.

He can also sense the fluctuations of ether without the detection of thought threads.

Underfoot, under the stone slabs, under the soil, and deeper, the ether gathered into a rushing river... Above the head, outside the layers of buildings, the ether in the sky stirred up a storm.

In this vast world, ether changes freely, gathering in pursuit of sounds, and then dissipating due to sounds. Countless magnificent rays of light are floating above this world, reflecting all this, making the whole world unparalleledly beautiful!

That is a beautiful scenery that ordinary people cannot observe even with the help of thoughts, but to Ciel, it is just ordinary and normal.

Just relying on his instinctive feeling, he completely interpreted Ye Qingxuan's ether.

Because of this, he felt sorry.

"Why are you still the same?"

He sighed softly - it's a pity that this method is still useful for idiots like Edmund, but it won't work here.

"Junior brother."

His five fingers turned slightly, and the screws gathered in front of him to form a barrier under the pull of the magnetic force. The barrier immediately trembled, and bounced away the screws shot by Ye Qingxuan with the same magnetic note.

Then, he covered his eyes and prepared for defense. Because Ye Qingxuan seized the gap in his defense and planned to use the all-conquering flash bomb tactics again.

With a sound like the proliferation of ice, dozens of mirrors emerged from the void, and then, a burst of light emerged from the young man's hand, and the dazzling light instantly engulfed Ciel's body.

Even if he covers his eyes, he can still feel the sharp light piercing the back of his hands, making his eyes light up.

Charles was slightly shocked: If it was directly illuminated by this brightness, he would probably be blinded, right? You have only been an apprentice for a month, and are you already able to enhance the effect of musical notes to this extent

Today's young people really cannot be underestimated...

He sighed in his heart: Now, Ye Qingxuan has successfully taken the advantage.

Unfortunately, the essence of this game does not lie in the so-called advantage, but in the "countermeasures" of planning before taking action, or even... "deception"!

This is a more strategic game than Musician Showdown, and it is not a problem that can be solved by a quick attack.

When both parties use Bolero, they are placed in the same equal environment, share the same information, and know each other's ins and outs.

It's like a game of chess.

When both sides know the enemy's "next step" clearly, it means the difficulty soars. Because you have to count your opponent's reaction to the second, third or even fourth step to win.

Use "interpretation" to understand the opponent's strategy, and use "countermeasures" as a means to defeat the enemy. This is a combat method formed by combining the strategies of the "Revelation School" and the "Forbidden School". You can't win by relying on the bombardment of the transformation system!

With the connection of the mind thread, Xia Er already understood Ye Qingxuan's tactics clearly.

"Sorry, junior brother."

He shook his head and sighed: "You have decided to wear women's clothes today!"

First, he blinded himself with mirrors and light, and then with "notes and magnetism"... Wait, is this a double release

Immediately afterwards, Charles felt strange fluctuations coming from his mind line, which was the chaotic waves produced when two notes were forcibly merged in the same place.

Hey, can’t you

He was slightly startled: Where did you learn this? This is a unique application method of the change system, a technique developed by a group of lunatics who are obsessed with destruction!

As Ye Qingxuan closed his hands, and when his palms slowly opened, a dazzling arc of electricity shot out.

In the flashing electric light, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and grinned at Charles:

"Don't worry...it's not certain who will wear women's clothing."
