Chapter 107: Chapter 97: Duel Between Cellists!
The moment Nannali’s cello started playing.
Lin Tian, who was playing the piano, was taken aback for a moment.
Such fierce aggression!
Different from Gan Yanyu’s dignified and oppressive aura.
Nannali’s cello was clear, yet full of power.
The girl chose to play at the tip of the bow to achieve a sharper and more piercing tone.
And such aggression was not vain like a paper tiger; behind it was Nannali’s profound understanding of the cello.
In Nannali’s hands, it’s less of a cello.
More like, it’s a powerful compound bow!
No, it’s Noah’s Paraji’s Shield!
Lin Tian was a bit surprised.
In his recent interactions with Nannali, he seemed to have... underestimated this person a bit.
He had thought she was just a naïve girl, but who would have expected... she could play such a stunning cello!
Such sharp aggression, in a way, quite matched the chuunibyou vibe of this blonde young lady.
Mr. Gan...
Lin Tian looked towards Gan Yanyu, who was also performing, and felt emotional.
This time, he really met his match.
"....."
Gan Yanyu drew her bow across the strings, looking at Nannali sitting opposite.
Her face, too, revealed a hint of surprise.
She... really has improved a lot.
Completely different from when in Manchester.
Back then, although Nannali’s cello also had some thorns, it took a relatively gentler path...
Now, in her hands, it seems... completely transformed into a weapon.
Extremely ferocious.
Speed, power, both much stronger than before.
"..."
Facing such an overwhelming attack.
Gan Yanyu gradually became serious.
She slightly increased the force of her bow.
The rhythm of the strings, faster and faster!
"♫~!"
Within this Spanish Bullfighting Song—
The music of the two girls intertwined.
Unfolding their duel!
At this moment, the two girls stand in the arena, like warriors in the Roman Colosseum of the Middle Ages. Barren hills and the blood-red sun in the distance, dust swirling on the ground, the wind carrying the taste of sand hitting their faces.
On stage, Lin Tian played the piano.
Off stage, the two confronted each other for a long time.
Suddenly,
Nannali, with a blade in hand, pounced like a fierce tiger, her blade stabbing viciously towards Gan Yanyu!
Each strike aimed at lethal spots, showing no mercy!
And Gan Yanyu, with a sidestep dodge—
Calml and composedly, with the sword in her hand, she responded move for move, continuously performing technical parries.
Compared to a ferocious tiger, Gan Yanyu was more like an elegant fighting master.
Proficient in all sword-fighting techniques, knowing how to end this battle in the most precise and graceful manner.
And Nannali, was not a mindless brute.
All her attacks were methodical.
Under Gan Yanyu’s continuous parries, Nannali also adjusted the angle and method of her attacks in a timely manner... constantly upgrading, optimizing her offense.
As their battle escalated.
The climax of the piece also reached its most thrilling part!
Rapid violin music, an exquisite and exceptional march melody!
The duel and combat between the two cellos made Lin Tian also close his eyes in enjoyment.
Indeed...
Having Nannali play "España Cani" with Gan Yanyu was the right choice.
Nannali’s aggression fully ignited Gan Yanyu!
In this song filled with duels and conflicts.
If it were just Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu playing a simple duet, it’s unlikely to have such an effect.
The battle between the two undoubtedly brought the interpretation of the piece to a new pinnacle!
Nannali, well done!
Useful in reality for cleaning up.
And in music, capable of inspiring Gan Yanyu’s fighting spirit.
For Gan Yanyu’s opponent, Lin Tian approves!
"..."
As the final climax of the piece arrived.
Nannali, in the arena, stared into Gan Yanyu’s eyes, biting her teeth.
Her sword swung forward!
Launching the most fierce attack so far!
The overwhelming momentum came howling out of Nannali’s cello.
——This was her final strike.
Yanyu’s expression darkened.
Gone was her usual composed and relaxed demeanor.
The young girl closed her eyes.
.....
The winner was decided.
The café was once again tranquil.
Nannali put down her bow and punched the soft sofa.
"Damn it!!"
The blonde girl let out a cry of frustration.
She clutched her head, her previously proud demeanor completely dissipated.
She particularly resembled the defeated male protagonist in a hot-blooded shonen anime, kneeling on the ground, exclaiming, "Still, I couldn’t do it?"
"I’ve tried so hard, why...." Nannali bit her lip.
Whether it was expressing emotion, interpreting music with the instrument, or the momentum and rhythm of the performance.... she fell just a little short!
It was this slight deficit that constructed a chasm Nannali could not cross.
"..."
Lin Tian leaned against the piano, watching from the side.
Losing so many times, and still so reactive.
"Miss Nannali."
A gentle call.
Nannali lifted her head, and there stood Yanyu in front of her, bending down.
"You’ve made great progress,"
Yanyu said.
"Really... really?"
"Yes."
A fleeting look of joy passed over Nannali’s face.
But she quickly suppressed it, returning to her usual expression.
Standing up, she pouted and pointed at Yanyu’s nose.
As if making a proclamation.
"I won’t give up, Yanyu. I came to Zhonghua to defeat you... just you wait!"
"Okay."
"At the end of next month’s Yingqin Cup, I will defeat you!"
"Hmm?"
Lin Tian was puzzled and looked at Yanyu.
"The preliminary of the Yingqin Cup is at the end of next month,"
Yanyu stated, her gaze fixed straight ahead.
"..."
The Huaxia Music Association hosts official provincial competitions, which have different names in each province.
In Qingjiang Province, it’s called the Yingqin Cup.
The entire Yingqin Cup is divided into three phases—preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals.
There’s half a month between each stage, and different pieces must be performed in each.
Only by winning the championship at the Yingqin Cup and getting recognition from the Music Association does one qualify to participate in the next year’s ultimate honor for cellists—the Dragon Violin Cup.
Since the Dragon Violin Cup is by invitation without open auditions, competitors are entirely recommended by local Music Associations.
Therefore, winning the Yingqin Cup and obtaining the recommendation of the Music Association is crucial as an official competition.
"You’ll participate, right?"
Nannali looked intently at Yanyu.
"I will."
"Good!"
Nannali picked up her cello case, glanced at Lin Tian one last time... and left the café.
"..."
Watching Nannali leave, Lin Tian felt contemplative as he looked at Yanyu.
"You have a rival now."
"Yes."
"The victory just now... wasn’t so easy, was it?"
Lin Tian could tell.
Even though Nannali apparently never beat Yanyu before,
But from just now’s performance, Nannali... was definitely a rival not to be underestimated.
In just the duration of a single song, she made a strong impression on Lin Tian with her aggressive play.
Her potential for the future is immeasurable.
Even Yanyu, in the duel just now, didn’t win easily.
Several attacks, if Yanyu were just a little less skilled, she might not have been able to withstand them...
One day, Nannali’s aggressiveness might grow to a terrifying level.
"How old is she?"
"19."
19 years old...
Indeed, in such a vast world... genius, really isn’t something rare.
