Chapter 441 The first battle in the arena is a glorious defeat
The huge arena outside Zhongnan Academy was divided into four, and four people stood guarding the ring respectively. They were Bai Fan's four new apprentices, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Wu Zhao, and Di Renjie.

There is no referee in this arena, and the surrounding people are witnesses. Bai Fan is also standing under the arena, not an audience, but standing with the ladies of the country.

The eldest grandson of the empress asked, "Jian Zhi, when you set up this arena, the four children on it are divided into four directions. I wonder if there are any rules?
I don't want to challenge him casually. Seeing that the child is only five years old, I'm afraid he can't speak well. If someone goes up to compete with him, wouldn't it be a mess? "

By asking this question, he is actually helping Bai Fan. Bai Fan said before that as long as he beats any one of them, he can enter the school. He didn't say which aspect to win. If someone catches this loophole, how will Bai Fan end up?

Bai Fan smiled, turned around and saluted: "Thank you for your trouble, Second Aunt. This is simple. The focus of this assessment is to examine qualifications, not just specialties and wisdom, but character is more important. The four disciples are good at written all around the arena. Direction, if someone bullies the weak regardless of face, the people are not blind, even if they win, they will be grandstanding."

"Everyone, it's getting late, it's time to start, come forward and challenge at will, as long as you can prove yourself, even if you can't win, you may be recognized by the academy and allowed to enroll." Bai Fan faced more than 100 disciples in the audience opened the mouth.

I saw a young man in Chinese clothes come out first, saluted Bai Fan and the others, and said in a loud voice: "Wang Bowen from the Wang family of Taiyuan, I heard that Dean Bai dared to speak first for the world, and I really agree with it. , Try the depth for all my dear friends."

After the person finished speaking, he strode forward and ran towards Wang Xuance on the stage.

"Wang Bowen? Isn't he the head of the Taiyuan Wang family's young family? Why is the Taiyuan Wang family also coming to school?" Someone exclaimed.

A passer-by explained: "What's so strange about this? Zhongnan Academy is a holy place in the literary world, the number one academy in the world, so what about the aristocratic family? The aristocratic family also knows to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Who wouldn't want the benefits?"

Bai Fan tilted his head and glanced at Princess Chu, the wife of Li Yuanba. She was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. This Wang Bowen is a cousin of her second uncle's family. He is very close, but he is already old, so he does not meet the admission requirements of the academy.

And he is the most outstanding successor in the family. If he can get the training of the academy, he will definitely have a lot to do in the future. Therefore, despite Li Yuanba's dissatisfaction, this Princess Chu stepped forward to make a comeback for the family.

Everyone focused their attention on the duel on the stage.

Wang Bowen bowed to Wang Xuance and said, "Wang Bowen of Taiyuan, I heard that Xuance's younger brother is the number one child prodigy in Luoyang.

Although brother Yu is a few years older, he can't compete with brother Xue over there without knowing martial arts, so he can only take advantage of brother virtuous. "

Wang Xuance also returned the gift and said: "Brother Wang has won the award. Those who have never learned before are teachers. How do you know that I am not as good as you when I am young? I don't know how you want to challenge me?"

The two looked at each other, and the flames of war ignited in their eyes at the same time. It was a kind of passion from young people fighting for victory.

"I'm five years older than you, so I don't want to take advantage of you. I started learning piano five years ago, how about you and I come to make friends with the piano?" Wang Bowen said.

"Brother Wang's demeanor is admirable, so Xuan Ce has taken advantage of it. My little brother has been learning piano for eight years."

When everyone below heard this, they all felt that this young master of the Wang family was really trusting him, and the opposite was a direct disciple of Master Bai. You have learned the piano for five years and others have learned the piano for eight years?Isn't that looking for abuse?

The Princess of Chu, Wang Shi, was also secretly worried, she sacrificed so much, why did her cousin do so?

But Bai Fan nodded and said with a smile: "The family background is different after all, this demeanor is extraordinary, no matter win or lose, this child's disposition is superior, not a narrow-minded villain, rare!"

In a word, people around have their own thoughts, and many people feel that it is rare to be praised by Bai Fan, and it seems very promising.

Soon someone brought two identical guqins, and the two on the stage began to compete in piano skills.

Wang Xuance's piano art has a light and agile feeling, and Wang Bowen's piano sound is elegant and melodious, typical of ancient music and style.

In the beginning, Wang Xuance had the upper hand in terms of qin art style, but as Wang Bowen's qin music gradually entered the country, the latter's elegant and melodious sound gradually began to infect the surroundings. Many people felt that there were only melodious ancient tunes in their ears and no other sounds.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xuance was anxious secretly, he was the first match in the game, how could he lose to his opponent?Fingers moved together and began to display his unique skills. He was lucky enough to see Bai Fan's qinxiao and Ming skills in Luoyang. Wang Xuance spent three years studying for this. Although he didn't get started, it was not without gain.

He has learned the secret of integrating stories into the piano music. He can let people feel the touching stories one by one through the piano music. He thought it would be better than the opposite five-year piano skills without effort, but in the end he still had to come up with a unique trick.

Just when Wang Bowen's piano sound infected [-]% of the audience, Wang Xuance's piano sound gradually entered the artistic conception, and the picture of a naughty boy chasing butterflies appeared in the minds of the audience. Although the picture was so blurry, the naughty boy The traces of emotion in the show are so clearly visible, it is almost empathetic, and for a while, many viewers seem to have returned to their beautiful childhood, as if they are the naughty boy chasing butterflies.

Bai Fan didn't expect that this disciple of his own has such a skill, which is really surprising. It took two years of practice for his apprentice Du He to achieve such a skill.

Even Wang Bowen, who was on the opposite side of the ring, was infected by the opponent's music. In a daze, the melody in his hand appeared half a mess, and the artistic conception of a piece of music dissipated in an instant. By the time he tried to forcefully continue it, it was already too late.

Sighing helplessly, Wang Bowen stopped playing the qin in his hand and became a spectator, quietly listening to Wang Xuance playing the qin opposite.

At the end of the song, the audience was thunderous, and the audience applauded for Wang Xuance.

"Jane Zhi's apprentice is different. He learned such a unique skill within a few days of apprenticeship." Changsun said with a smile.

Bai Fan shook his head and explained: "Second Aunt is wrong, this is what he would have been able to do, I haven't taught them a few days, and I haven't taught them anything."

"Oh? It seems that this child is very talented, no wonder you want to accept him as an apprentice."

The winner on the stage was already divided, Wang Bowen took the initiative to salute and said: "Xuance brother's unique skills, I admire you, this time Wang Bowen lost, the matter of enrolling in Zhongnan Academy, let it go!"

Wang Xuance admired the other party's demeanor, and also respectfully saluted: "Brother Wang is very generous, and I admire you, in fact, your piano skills that you have learned in five years have surpassed mine, and you may be more talented than me in terms of piano skills.

It was a coincidence that I was able to practice the metaphor of things in the qin. When the master passed by Luoyang, I was lucky enough to be there at that time, and I was shocked by it. Later, I was inspired and finally realized this. With one move, you didn't lose your talent, you lost your master. "

Hearing this, Wang Bowen sighed in his heart, people say that Bai Fan can travel the world with one skill, this Wang Xuance can benefit from it just by being a bystander, it is a pity that he does not have this opportunity.

"You were only ten years old back then. I am not as good as you at such a young age. Don't be humble. It's a pity that I wanted to be a teacher but I didn't have enough opportunities."

After finishing speaking, Wang Bowen clasped his fists again, and strode off gracefully.
