settled into the 19th seat which
consisted of a small bamboo table and a
bamboo map below with everyone Seated on
the ground the table featured a circular
indentation alongside a finely crafted
bamboo Hammer once everyone was seated
the white-haired man addressed them we

become a disciple of the master of
Melody one must not only possess a
passion for Melody but also a certain
innate Talent the first round will
assess your sense of Rhythm as the first
round officially began a piece of music
filled the space and participants were
instructed to strike the circular
indentation on the table with the bamboo
hammer in accordance with the music
speed the bamboo table was crafted with
unique techniques that would
automatically record each participant's
actions so they were cautioned against
striking haphazardly are there any
questions the crowd glanced around but
no one spoke up the white-haired man
smiled slightly and continued very well
let the first round officially commence
with a gentle wave of his hand an
invisible wave rippled through the air
enveloping everyone present moments
later a melodious tune resonated filled
with an air of antiquity and elegance
captivating all who heard it as the
rhythm of the music played participants
began to strike the table with their
bamboo hammers initially there was a
degree of Chaos as many struggled to
find their Rhythm amidst the
distractions of others Gian focused
intently on the music striving to
discover her own Tempo she leaned
slightly forward synchronizing her
strikes with the melody and the
indentation on the table glowed green
pulsating in time with the music seeing
her actions recorded G on G maintained
her Rhythm and as the music intensified
they gradually found their Cadence the
sounds of their strikes becoming more
orderly the white-haired man observed
quietly from the side occasionally
noting their performances as the melody
began to fade the participant strikes
gradually ceased as the final note
resounded Gian G felt a sense of clarity
within her heart she was confident in
her sense of Rhythm the silver-haired
man nodded and announced the first round
of testing has concluded you may all

crowd collectively exhaled in relief and
began to disperse those waiting outside

performances
upon stepping out giang G realized that
the palm of her hand which had not been
gripping the bamboo Hammer was drenched
in sweat taking a deep breath she
acknowledged the effectiveness of her
recent intensive training feeling that
she had performed exceptionally well the
silver-haired man followed them out and
subsequently led the second group into
the arena without the oversight of NPCs

became more animated unencumbered by
previous reservations this is quite

envious glance at Tang Yen the two found
a tree under which to sit pulling out
some food that did not emit a strong
Aroma to pass the time after the second
