"Get off the stage!"

"Get off the stage!"

"Get off the stage!"

All students in the stands chanted in unison, their enthusiasm soaring even higher when they saw someone throwing eggs and tomatoes onto the stage.

Ye Feng stood quietly on the stage, his expression unchanged.

As those eggs and tomatoes rained down upon the stage, his demeanor remained calm. With each one about to hit him, he'd subtly shift his footing, effortlessly dodging them.

Huh?

Students at the back of the stands couldn't see how Ye Feng dodged, but Principal Luo Zhiyuan and Professor Han in the front row saw everything clearly.

In their eyes, amazement flickered. To them, Ye Feng seemed to stroll leisurely, the eggs and tomatoes posing no hindrance whatsoever.

Yang Hao was equally stunned. He had thought that with so many tomatoes and eggs, Ye Feng would be utterly humiliated, but...

"How did he dodge that? Impossible!"

Yang Hao's brow furrowed deeply as he saw Ye Feng looking straight at him with even a hint of a smile on his lips.

Yes! A smile!

But to Yang Hao, that smile of Ye Feng's seemed chilling to the bone.

Meanwhile, in the front row, another person covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Ye Feng! How could it be him!"

Jiang Ying's mind went blank. When the host announced the pianist's name as Ye Feng, she was startled.

But when she saw Ye Feng appear, her heart couldn't help but flutter uncontrollably.

"This... this guy is actually a student!"

"This jerk!"

Jiang Ying felt both embarrassed and angry, with a touch of happiness in her heart.

However, when she saw someone in the stands throwing eggs and tomatoes at Ye Feng, anger flashed across her pretty face, and she stood up immediately, glaring at the entire stands.

Jiang Ying, as the most beautiful principal in history, was always the center of attention wherever she went. The moment she stood up, the entire gym fell silent, the previously noisy sounds vanishing instantly.

Upon seeing Jiang Ying rise, Ye Feng on the stage was taken aback, then cracked a smile at her.

Thump, thump, thump...

Ye Feng didn't care about those disdainful and mocking looks from the stands. He walked leisurely to the piano and sat down slowly.

At this moment, the gymnasium, due to Jiang Ying's actions, had become silent as a graveyard.

All eyes were tightly fixed on the stage, eager to see what this guy was capable of.

Ye Feng touched the piano keys with his palms but didn't hurry to play. Instead, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

"What the hell is he doing?"

"Damn it! This guy is actually smoking on stage!"

"Holy shit! That's badass! To smoke in front of all the school leaders and nearly ten thousand students... this is simply too cool!"

"..."

Everyone was stunned by Ye Feng's actions; they hadn't expected him to be so relaxed that he'd even smoke.

However, Ye Feng didn't light the cigarette; he merely held it in his mouth, tenderly caressing the piano keys as if he was touching a lover.

Ding...

His fingers began to play, Ye Feng slowly started.

In the beginning, the crowd didn't notice anything special, but as the melody continued to rise, their expressions involuntarily settled into calmness.

Waves of notes, like a gentle breeze, swept across everyone's faces. Gradually, everyone felt a shiver down their spine, as if their souls were lifted by the melody and carried away.

Every person's expression changed from disdain to calm, and then from calm to fascination. All of them slowly closed their eyes, feeling as if their souls were dancing along with every note.

On the stage, Ye Feng's fingers moved faster and faster, his hands appearing like phantoms rapidly striking each piano key.

Ye Feng, with an unlit cigarette perched in his lips, closed his eyes and played from his heart.

As Ye Feng's fingers increased in speed, everyone felt the scene before them transform, as if they were suddenly standing above the ocean. The towering waves and the crashing surf shook everyone to their core.

But that was not all, as the surroundings kept changing, suddenly it was as though they were on an endless prairie.

The vast, endless green prairie brimming with vitality, herds of white horses galloping across it, as if carrying everyone's hearts with them, leaping and soaring.

Silence reigned in the stands, where nearly ten thousand students had closed their eyes under the spell of the melody – even those like Yang Hao who loathed Ye Feng.

They were intoxicated, caught in one illusion after another, unable to extricate themselves!

Among them, only two people were lucid: Professor Han and Luo Susu!

At that moment, both were overwhelmed by a tumult of amazement!

Luo Susu was shocked by Ye Feng's lightning-fast hands, and more so... by the fact that he was playing without any score!!!

Professor Han, however, was horrified by...

"This is 'One Cigarette'!!!"

"How is this possible!"

Professor Han suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Principal Luo beside him and the many school leaders around them.

Their eyes were tightly shut, their expressions alternatively blissful, horrified, then relaxed!

It was as if each note was ushering them into a different world!

Professor Han kept quiet; he did not dare to make a sound. His ears trembled, as if trying to memorize these notes.

But the music was too fast, too urgent, too much!

Professor Han's face slowly turned pale, and a fine sweat broke out on his forehead!

"One of the top ten most difficult godly pieces to play, 'One Cigarette'!"

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Professor Han's mouth as he turned back to look at the shabbily dressed youth on the stage, with a cigarette between his lips and his eyes closed, as if looking at a pristine gem.

Ding!

When Ye Feng's phantom-like fingers pressed the last piano key, the melody in the gymnasium came to an abrupt halt.

Dead silence!!!

The sports hall that could accommodate nearly ten thousand people fell into boundless stillness at this moment.

As the music stopped, everyone's eyes opened. Following a brief moment of confusion, they were struck dumb with horror!

For some reason, the melody had taken them through one magic realm after another, be it the unfathomably deep ocean, the vast endless prairie, or a volcanic eruption blocking out the sun...

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the young man on the stage; they could not, would not believe!

There on the stage stood Ye Feng, his demeanor as unperturbed as ever. He slowly stood up and walked to the back of the piano.

He took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and placed it on the piano strings behind him.

Hiss!

A faint sound was heard; the moment the cigarette touched the piano strings, a dazzling spark flashed, and the whole cigarette lit up instantly.

Luo Susu watched the scene in shock, her small hand clasped over her mouth, her eyes wide, her face disbelieving!

If the piano strings could light a cigarette, it meant they had heated up to an extreme degree!

But what kind of speed in playing could make the strings so hot!

"'One Cigarette' truly lives up to its name!!!"

Just then, a mad howl erupted; it was Professor Han.
