Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Qin King’s Battle Music

AWOOO—

ROAR—

All sorts of bestial roars echoed across the land.

The sky was completely blotted out by flying Alien Beasts.

Jiang Qin could feel the covetous hunger in the eyes of these Alien Beasts as they stared down at them.

This was especially true for the Alien Beasts covered in eyes; the malice they conveyed was the most palpable.

’Maybe that’s the advantage of having so many eyes. Even their malice is several times stronger.’

“Warriors, protect the soothing masters!”

“Yes, sir!”

War was imminent. The scene of massive creatures clashing unfolded before them once again.

No Beastman could witness such a scene and remain completely unmoved; after all, their very Genes were bloodthirsty by nature.

But they had to protect the females, so they couldn’t join the slaughter.

The bloodthirsty Genes in Yun Xie’s body were also awakening, but he remained dutifully by Jiang Qin’s side, not daring to let his attention wander for even a second.

Although Lan Yuyan was there, he was currently in no condition to fight.

…

The females once again began their soothing.

Jiang Qin was still using her pipa today, but she had switched to a different piece of music.

Today, she was playing “Qin King’s Battle Music.”

A melody with the force of a mighty army surged across the battlefield.

Though it was just a single pipa, it sounded like an entire orchestra.

No one could describe the feeling.

One of the females performing soothing found she simply couldn’t enter the right state of mind with such music playing, so she stopped meditating altogether.

She pulled out her Light Computer and started recording a video.

Even without a network connection, the Light Computer’s basic functions were still usable.

Through her lens, Jiang Qin’s hands moved so fast over the strings they became a blur, leaving the female watching, utterly stunned.

And the melody itself was on another level—it made one’s blood boil, filling them with an urgent desire to join the fray.

Perhaps because the music was so incendiary, the fighting spirit in the hearts of many Beastman Warriors was ignited.

In the blink of an eye, another commotion broke out as many Beastmen frenzied right where they stood.

They charged forward fearlessly, as if pumped full of stimulants, filling the hearts of all who watched with fervent passion.

“It’s happening again! They’re frenzied!”

“Why can’t I go into a frenzy? Is it because I don’t have a musical bone in my body?”

“I’m so jealous. When that kid Wei Peng frenzies, not only does his strength skyrocket, but his mind stays clear. And most importantly, there are no side effects.”

“You’re telling me. Normally, that guy can only kill three Alien Beasts. When frenzied, he can take down five and only get lightly injured.”

“You think maybe it’s because the music isn’t loud enough? Should we get Miss Jiang a speaker?”

“You go give it to her, then. I’m not brave enough.”

The female recording the video was a streamer, so after she finished, she didn’t overthink it and just hit ’publish’.

But the network connection was poor, and it got stuck on the uploading step.

She paid it no mind, turned off her Light Computer, and listened quietly to the music. By the time her own Spiritual Body emerged to perform its soothing work, she was completely immersed in the battle anthem. Her mind was filled with nothing but ’kill, kill, kill,’ which caused her Spiritual Body to become unusually fierce as well.

Everyone fell silent as they watched the Spiritual Bodies pounce on the Alien Beasts, trying to tear into them.

“Uh… are the Spiritual Bodies of females supposed to be this vicious?”

The person next to him was speechless. “How is that possible? A female’s Spiritual Body is always gentle.”

After all, their job was to soothe. How could a Spiritual Body be aggressive?

Seeing Spiritual Bodies that wanted to rip Alien Beasts to shreds was a real eye-opener for them.

***

While the frontline battle raged furiously, discussions on the Star Network were just as heated.

[I wonder how the battle is going tonight. Why aren’t there any war correspondents live-streaming?]

[Didn’t the officials say it’s classified?]

[It seems like only the Federation’s First Regiment doesn’t have a war correspondent. Most of the other places hit by the Alien Beast tide tonight have livestreams.]

[That proves the First Regiment really is hiding a secret!]

…

The discussion hadn’t been going on for long before someone came across a video.

In it, Jiang Qin, dressed in a simple long dress, played her pipa with her eyes closed, her hands flying across the strings.

The power of the music was immense, as if a mighty army was charging right before their eyes.

The notes rang in their ears, but it was a fighting spirit that awakened in their hearts.

“What is this music…?” Gu Le’an murmured from his bed.

However, no one could answer his question.

Because the netizens were asking the same thing.

[I wanted to ask this yesterday. What on earth is that music Miss Jiang is playing on the battlefield?]

[Just listening to it makes me feel like I’m standing on the battlefield right now!]

[Tonight’s piece is just as powerful! How can one person have the presence of a whole army?]

[Jiang Qin was definitely holding back on her talent before.]

[I don’t know what she put in the music, but I feel my body getting warm.]

…

Gu Le’an also felt his body growing warm.

RIIIP—

The sound of tearing fabric echoed in the silent room as his body unexpectedly transformed into his beast form.

In an instant, the man on the bed had become a beast.

He walked to the mirror and saw his familiar, yet slightly different, beast form.

’This… isn’t this the appearance of a Frenzied Beast?’

Gu Le’an suddenly remembered the video that had been circulating on the Star Network that morning.

But he hadn’t eaten anything strange.

Connecting it to the music he had just heard…

’Perhaps there really is something added to the music.’

Gu Le’an kept quiet about it, simply replaying the video over and over.

Worried it might be scrubbed from the network later, he even downloaded and saved the video.

Strangely, he only felt the effect the first time he listened. Afterward, while he could still feel the fighting spirit surging within him, the warm sensation in his body was gone.

He didn’t understand why, but he felt he was beginning to grasp why news about the First Regiment had to be kept under wraps.

Having stumbled upon this secret, he felt his heart pound in his chest, and he began to worry about potential side effects…

But his worry soon faded, as he safely transformed back into his human form.

After careful consideration, he also applied for frontline support duty.

He had heard that warriors could make appointments for soothing with the camp’s soothing masters…

’Whether I live or die isn’t important. The constant headaches are just too agonizing.’

He couldn’t even remember the last time he’d had a good night’s sleep; it felt like years ago.

***

On the battlefield, Jiang Qin’s fingers were bleeding again.

She didn’t mind, though. There were Medical Pods, and the regiment provided Healing Potions.

A small wound like this would heal overnight.

But while she was unconcerned, her partners were heartbroken to see it.

As she finished another repetition of “Qin King’s Battle Music,” Yun Xie grabbed her wrist. “Alright, that’s enough for today.”

If the Federation Soldiers still couldn’t win after all this help, they might as well just go home.

They had managed in the past without such a powerful soothing master, hadn’t they?

So he felt there was no need for Jiang Qin to push herself so hard.

Jiang Qin knew when to stop and brought her playing to a halt.

It could only be said that the music affected not just the warriors, but the performer herself as well.
