Chapter Twelve: Starlight

  After Ou Yang Ziyan left the rest area, some boys who were originally in the rest area immediately rushed over and surrounded Lin Fan.

  "Brother! Are you also here to perform? Who is that beautiful girl just now, introduce me to her." A boy approached Lin Fan's side and smiled.

  "Right! That beauty is really too beautiful, if I can get to know such a beauty, I'd be willing to shorten my life by a few years!" Another boy, but this boy's appearance is quite ordinary.

  Lin Fan just smiled and didn't say anything.

  Lin Fan wouldn't casually reveal other people's information without their permission.

  When they saw Lin Fan, he didn't reveal any information about Ouyang Ziyuan. The boys couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, but thinking about it, if they also knew a beautiful girl like Ouyang Ziyuan, they wouldn't casually reveal her information either.

  Then it all made sense.

  But without getting information from the beauty, it did not hinder some boys' curiosity.

  "Brother, just now I saw that you didn't have the long flute in your hand, but with a flip of your hand, the long flute appeared in your hand. Are you going to perform magic on stage?" a boy asked curiously.

  "What I'm going to perform is the flute playing, not magic. The flute just appeared in my hand was just a sleight of hand, nothing to be surprised about." Lin Fan smiled and said.

  The welcome party is going smoothly, during which Ouyang Ziyuan went to rest for a while and told Lin Fan that the staff had agreed to Lin Fan's request to change songs.

  As the performances went on one by one, it was soon Lin Fan's turn to go on stage.

  Next, please welcome Lin Fan from the Class of 2001 in the Department of Business Administration to bring us a wonderful erhu performance - "Starlight"! I heard that this piece "Starlight" was even composed by Lin Fan himself! said the beautiful host.

  "Lao Er, did I hear that wrong? I could've sworn the host just called out Lao Si's name?" Lao Da Zhou Qiang looked at Lao Er Tang Xuan with a puzzled expression, who was equally perplexed.

  "That's right! I also heard it, the host just called Lao Si's name!" Xu Bing, the third elder, added, adjusting his glasses.

  "Since Lao San has said so, it proves that I didn't have auditory hallucinations! The host just called out the name of Lao Si!" Er Ge Tang Xuan changed his puzzled expression and nodded.

  "No way! I didn't hear that Fourth Brother was going to perform on stage, or else he wouldn't have come with us to the playground!" Eldest Brother Zhou Qiang said in surprise.

  "When the party just started, didn't Old Four receive a phone call and leave? Until now, he hasn't come back. I thought Old Four couldn't find this place and was watching performances elsewhere! Who would have thought that he went on stage to perform?! But when did Old Four learn how to play the sheng?" As soon as the words "play the sheng" were spoken, a sly smile flashed across Old Second Tang Xuan's eyes.

  "I don't know, we didn't ask Lao Si!" Old Three Xu Bing shook his head.

  "Whatever, let's just listen to Lao Si's performance first. No matter how it goes, we'll all cheer loudly!" said Zhou Qiang with a loud voice.

  "That's right! Support Old Fourth!" The other two responded in unison.

  As the host's voice fell, Lin Fan walked onto the stage from behind the curtain.

  A spotless white shirt, a pair of tattered jeans, and an unremarkable outfit instantly disappointed some students who were watching the performance, with some not even willing to continue watching.

  The school leaders on the VIP platform also looked almost the same, and the performance of a student with such a poor image really had no appeal to attract them to listen carefully.

  Lin Fan remained calm and composed regardless of how people below the stage viewed him.

  Only to see Lin Fan raise the emerald cloud flute in his hand to his lips, those who saw the emerald cloud flute in Lin Fan's hand suddenly lit up their eyes, what a wonderful flute, just like a perfect work of art!

  "Come on, Fourth Brother! We'll always support you!" Several loud voices came from below.

  Lin Fan raised his eyes and looked over, it was the other three people in his dormitory.

  Facing the three people with a smile, Lin Fan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

  A gentle and elegant aura suddenly emanated from Lin Fan's body, followed by the soft and melodious sound of a flute.

  In an instant, the originally noisy playground suddenly fell silent, quiet and soundless.

  Everyone's attention was drawn to the sound of the flute played by Lin Fan, and involuntarily, everyone quietly closed their eyes, with a pitch-black darkness in front of them.

  However, strangely enough, after a fleeting moment, everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and they seemed to be in the midst of a quiet prairie, with a gentle breeze carrying the scent of grass blowing towards them, making them feel extremely comfortable.

  The sound of the zither changed, and everyone felt that a star appeared in the originally pitch-black sky, slowly, one by one, stars lit up, as if those pearls were embedded under the sky...

  As more and more stars lit up, people seemed to feel that their spirits were also twinkling with the stars, and the world gradually gained luster due to the starlight!

  The whistling sound suddenly became urgent, and the starry sky was suddenly filled with shooting stars, leaving trails in the dark night sky. Although the meteor is short-lived, it leaves an eternal memory in people's hearts!

  The zither's melody became lively, and everyone felt as if they were floating in mid-air, flying towards the sky, getting closer and closer to the starry night sky! Appreciating the stars at such a close distance was an experience they would never have imagined!

  Finally, the sound of the zither became low and surging, a magnificent and resplendent silver river traversed the endless space-time and appeared before everyone's eyes. The vast and boundless silver river was so shocking to people's hearts!

  People can no longer find any words to describe the beauty of the Milky Way, all the words that people can think of to praise it seem so pale and powerless at this moment!

  The whistling sound gradually faded away, but people had already been deeply enchanted by the charm of the Milky Way and couldn't extricate themselves.

  Until a long time, a round of applause awakened all the people who were drunk with the charm of the Milky Way, pulling them out of that vast and magnificent Milky Way.

  Then wave after wave of warm applause rose, people's eyes were filled with frenzy and cast towards the stage, wanting to find the person who brought them such a dreamy feeling!

  But those people on stage had already disappeared!

  With Lin Fan's wonderful performance, the programs after the welcome party seemed a bit dull and tasteless to everyone.

  The welcome party has ended, but at the same time, a new legendary figure "Long Xiao Wang Zi" Lin Fan has emerged in Hua Xia campus!

  Although in the eyes of many people, Lin Fan is extremely ordinary in both appearance and dress, however, Lin Fan's performance of playing the long flute has deeply shocked their hearts, "The Prince of Long Flute" is well-deserved!

  The other three people in the dormitory were shocked and amazed when they woke up, Old Fourth actually had this kind of shocking and ghostly skills, it was really too surprising for them!

  When they found that Lin Fan was not on the stage, Zhou Qiang and his three friends were eager to push through the crowd and rush backstage. Unfortunately, the playground was already packed with people at this time, and it was impossible to move half a step.

  Helplessly, the three of them could only watch the already dull and uninteresting performance program, waiting for time to pass.

  It wasn't easy waiting for the evening party to end, and Zhou Qiang and his friends immediately rushed back to their dormitory, only to find that there was no one in the dormitory. Lin Fan hadn't returned to the dormitory!

  So where did Lao Si go?

  At the same time, in a park several kilometers away from Huaxia University, in a small grove of trees, Lin Fan was currently floating half a foot above the ground.

  The spiritual energy of the surrounding area, and even farther away, seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, constantly surging towards Lin Fan's location, giving the originally thin spiritual energy of the park a hint of an otherworldly charm.

  A powerful suction force emanated from Lin Fan's body, and the endless heavenly spiritual energy that poured in was absorbed into his body drop by drop. The Hong Meng Lian Shen Jue rapidly converted it into true energy, continuously increasing Lin Fan's power.

  Time slowly passed by, and more and more heavenly spiritual energy was refined by Lin Fan, whose strength was also constantly rising.

  Suddenly, a sound of wind and thunder spread through Lin Fan's body, with howling winds and continuous thunder!

  Every time the thunder rumbles, Lin Fan's body would secrete a stream of foul-smelling, inky black impurities from his pores, which were the harmful substances hidden deep within the human body!

  After expelling these harmful substances, Lin Fan's body will become even more pure and unadulterated, and his cultivation speed will also become much faster!

  After the 99th and 81st thunderclap, there was no more thunder!

  The thunderous sound came to an end, and Lin Fan's cultivation had also reached its final moment!

  Boom!

  Lin Fan only felt that some kind of invisible barrier inside his body was shattered, the true energy inside his body was circulating wildly, and the endless heavenly spiritual energy was being absorbed into his body, refining it into true energy.

  In just a few breaths of time, Lin Fan felt that the true energy within his body had increased by a fraction!

  Half an hour later, the wildly rotating true energy finally returned to its original speed. At this time, Lin Fan felt that the true energy in his body had increased by more than twice compared to before the breakthrough, and his strength had increased by more than double!

  Breakthrough! Mid-term foundation building!

  The further breakthrough of his strength filled Lin Fan's heart with excitement. The enhancement of his strength meant that the threat to his own life had decreased by another part!

  It's just that after this breakthrough, those harmful substances on his body made Lin Fan feel uncomfortable, but never mind, there will be only two more times like this and it won't happen again!

  The foundation-building stage originally has the meaning of clearing out impurities in the body and laying a solid foundation. As long as you break through the foundation-building stage and eliminate all the impurities in your body, this kind of situation will not occur again in the future.

  At this time, the sky was already dimly lit.

  Lin Fan stood in the small woods, gazing in the direction of Huaxia University. He felt a wave of emotion: last night's freshman welcome party should have ended long ago! Unexpectedly, last night's song "Stardust" brought all the teachers and students into a fantasy world, and he also merged with their spirits, allowing his soul realm to continuously rise. Finally, when the song ended, his soul realm had actually broken through to the late stage of foundation building!

  The breakthrough of the soul realm brings about a breakthrough in one's own cultivation, so after the performance ended, Lin Fan hastily left the stage and arrived at this small forest.

  Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Fan then smelled the foul odor emitted by the impurities on his body and couldn't help but slightly furrow his brow. Returning to school in this state probably wouldn't be appropriate!

  Lin Fan's eyebrows relaxed at once, and his hands quickly pinched the spiritual incantation.

  "Purification Spell!"

  A white light burst out of Lin Fan's hand, exploded on his head, and turned into a spiritual rain that washed away the impurities on his body.

  Impurities were soon washed away.

  Then, Lin Fan's true energy circulated within his body, emitting a large amount of heat from his skin, and soon his clothes were dry.

  Lin Fan smiled contentedly and left the small woods.
