"Sky City"!

This was originally a soothing and pleasant piano piece, but now, played by Ye Feng, it became lively and swift; each beautiful note, like a bead of rain falling rapidly, struck every member of the audience in their hearts!

Many in the audience had heard "Sky City" before, its exquisite tone undoubtedly a medicine to soothe the nerves.

But now, after listening to Ye Feng's rendition of "Sky City," everyone was drenched in sweat as though they had just exercised vigorously.

Especially that feeling of being submerged and blank, made every person heave great breaths, as if they wanted to gasp their lungs out from their bodies.

At this moment, everyone's view of Ye Feng had completely changed.

They were shocked, astonished!

They couldn't imagine that a piano piece could evoke a feeling of drowning, to such a terrifying extent!

It wasn't just the audience; even Gu Feng's pupils shrank dramatically, as if he had stumbled upon something incredible!

Ye Feng's each and every tone he played was listened to intently by Gu Feng, who observed that each note's force was exceptionally precise.

Whether it was the timbre or the rhythm, all were close to perfection, yet that soothing pace was aggressively disrupted by Ye Feng, who reassembled it into a fast, urgent melody!

This act of altering the state of a piano piece on one's own was something Gu Feng was witnessing for the first time.

Even for him, changing the score's rhythm and mood without destroying the essence of the piece was an extremely difficult feat!

But that wasn't all!

Gu Feng also noticed that Ye Feng, from beginning to end, had not opened the "Sky City" music score!

In other words, Ye Feng not only changed the rhythm of the piano piece but had done so without looking at the score!

"How is this possible!!!"

It was only now that Gu Feng truly started to take Ye Feng seriously, and at this moment, what caught his attention the most were Ye Feng's palms!

The rapid melody that was played a moment ago could only be performed by extremely quick fingers, and such speed could only be supported by unusually strong hand control!

"Master Gu, how was my playing?" Ye Feng now took his hands off the piano keys and said to Gu Feng with a smile.

"So-so!" Gu Feng hid the shock in his heart, his expression somewhat somber, and continued, "I didn't expect you to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. I underestimated you before! This time, you can choose whatever piece you want to play."

Even with a thick skin, Gu Feng could not admit he played better than Ye Feng. After all, the hundred thousand members of the audience were not fools; many were proficient in piano and could naturally discern that the piano skills of the two were closely matched, with Ye Feng's difficulty and skill being slightly superior!

Ye Feng smiled and then put the "Sky City" score back in its original place, before searching again amidst the stack of scores for a long time, ultimately shaking his head helplessly.

"Such a pity! These scores are all too easy, not interesting!"

Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders and looked helplessly at Gu Feng.

And Gu Feng's eyes twitched when he heard these words!

"You're blowing your own trumpet a bit too much there, aren't you?"

Some of these piano scores require a highly experienced pianist to play, even if you're a bit skilled, you can't possibly look down on all of these music sheets!

Gu Feng was speechless at this guy's pretentiousness and could only frown and ask:

"What do you want to play? Tell me first, maybe we have it backstage."

At this moment, not only was Gu Feng curious, Zhang Zihan, and the numerous audience members below were also exceptionally intrigued.

Especially Zhang Zihan, whose stunningly beautiful face was brimming with a joyous and sweet smile.

She was astonished that Ye Feng could play the piano and even more astounded by the level of his skill.

However, she understood Ye Feng better than anyone else here; she knew that this guy always managed to achieve what others deemed impossible!

"He is still like that! Still so omnipotent! Still so heart-stirring!"

At that moment, Zhang Zihan's gaze towards Ye Feng was full of infatuation; the man she loved was always the most outstanding man in the world!

Without equal!

By this time, everyone had already put away their disdain for Ye Feng; they knew this guy had some abilities and now they were even more curious about what piece he intended to play to challenge Gu Feng.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then said to Gu Feng, "You should know the most difficult piece in the world to play, right?"

"You mean Rachmaninoff's 'Third Piano Concerto'?" Gu Feng couldn't quite believe it and was staring wide-eyed at Ye Feng.

Rachmaninoff was a top piano master from two hundred years ago, his lifetime's work produced countless scores, but the most famous among them is the 'Third Piano Concerto'!

In the world, there are the top ten most difficult piano pieces to play!

They are Rachmaninoff's 'Third Piano Concerto', Liszt's 'Paganini's Great Practice Clock', 'Wild Bee Flying', 'Water Demon', 'Islame', 'EnglishCountry-Tunes', 'Remember Norma', 'Iberia', 'One cigarette'!

Among them, 'One cigarette' was what Ye Feng had played before at the welcoming party at Jiangnan University, but the difficulty of 'One cigarette' was only the tenth among the ten most difficult piano pieces.

And the first place belonged to Rachmaninoff's 'Third Piano Concerto'!

This piano piece was referred to by Rachmaninoff himself as 'the work of an elephant', alluding to its grandeur and weight.

Many piano masters in later generations have tried to play this piece, but its difficulty is beyond imagination, requiring tremendous physical stamina, along with the infamous reputation of playing a single piece equaling the digging of 'ten tons of coal'!

Besides, this piano piece exerts immense psychological pressure on the player, to the point where some masters have collapsed mentally before they could finish playing it, overwhelmed by its grandiosity and weight.

Gu Feng knew that his mentor, Master Soayer, had once tried to play this piece and not only failed in the end but almost had a mental breakdown, taking a whole year to recuperate before showing signs of improvement!

Even now, when Master Soayer speaks of the piece, he still turns pale with fear!
