Chapter 174: Explosive Heavy Metal

Two hours later.

[System Notification: SS-Rank Clone 'Phantom Musician · Sona' has been successfully generated!]

Zhou Huai's mind stirred, and a flash of white light swept past.

As the light dissipated, an exquisitely beautiful figure stood quietly there.

She had long blue hair as serene as the deep sea, tied into playful yet elegant twin tails that hung down to her waist.

Her facial features were so exquisite they did not look like a Mortal's, with every detail seeming meticulously sculpted by the gods.

Although she wore only the simplest gray cloth garments, it failed to conceal her peerless and captivating aura in the slightest.

Most eye-catching was her proud and almost exaggerated curve, forming a sharp contrast with her slender waist.

Zhou Huai looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad."

His modeling skills were truly getting more and more superb.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly transferred onto Sona's body.

The next second, he opened his eyes.

It indeed felt completely different from a male character.

His body felt much lighter, and after moving his hands and feet, they were exceptionally flexible.

It was just that his chest felt somewhat heavy.

He subconsciously looked down.

As expected.

He couldn't see his own toes.

Controlling Sona with graceful steps, Zhou Huai left the bedroom on the third floor.

The moment she appeared in the first-floor guild hall.

The originally noisy atmosphere of the entire hall suddenly turned quiet.

All the coming and going guild members, regardless of gender, all stopped in their tracks.

They stared blankly at the suddenly appearing peerless beauty, their faces filled with amazement and shock.

Even Jasmine, who was directing work, opened her small mouth in surprise, momentarily forgetting how to speak.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.

After a full dozen seconds, Jasmine abruptly snapped back to her senses.

She could clearly perceive that the unimaginably beautiful woman before her exuded that familiar and awe-inspiring Soul aura.

Daring not to show the slightest negligence, she quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply with an attitude respectful to the extreme.

"Greetings, Lord Master!"

This cry was like a thunderbolt, instantly jolting the other members who were still in a daze back to reality.

"Whoosh—!"

A sound of drawing in cold breaths erupted from the crowd.

Immediately afterward, everyone knelt on one knee in unison, their movements uniform.

"Pay respects to the Lord Master!"

Monstrous waves surged in their hearts.

Good heavens!

The Lord Master could actually transform into such a stunning and moving woman!

As expected, the Lord Master is truly this mysterious and powerful!

Zhou Huai controlled Sona to softly let out an "Mn".

A melodious and pleasant female voice, like celestial music, came from her mouth.

"There is nothing for you here, all of you go back to work."

"Yes! Lord Master!"

Daring not to show any negligence, the crowd quickly crawled up from the ground, scattered, and continued busy with their own work.

Only their gazes couldn't help but secretly glance over here.

Jasmine tactfully came before Sona, lowering her posture even further.

"Lord Master, what are your orders?"

Using Sona's body, Zhou Huai glanced around and spoke.

"Send people to buy back all the drums available on the market for me."

"Also microphones and sound Systems, all must be of the best quality."

Although Jasmine had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask a single extra question.

"As you command, Lord Master."

She immediately nodded and turned around to quickly arrange the procurement matters.

One hour later.

Abyss of Mist, by the lake shore.

Controlling Sona, Zhou Huai stood quietly atop a huge rock.

The Little Black Dragon seemed to really like Zhou Huai's new Clone.

Its huge black dragon head constantly and affectionately rubbed back and forth against Sona's arm, emitting a satisfied "purr" sound.

Nowadays, Little Black had basically digested most of the energy inside the eggshell.

Its Rank reached LV5.

Its health value also officially broke through the million mark, reaching a terrifying 1.2 million.

Its size had also grown to over two meters tall, standing there like a small hill, full of oppressive presence.

Zhou Huai stroked its head, took out a magic crystal from the storage space, and threw it over.

"Go on, go play aside."

Holding the magic crystal in its mouth, Little Black gave a joyful cry and ran off to play by itself.

Soon, several guild members moved various drums bought from the market one by one, placing them on top of the giant rock.

Zhou Huai's gaze first landed on a huge war drum resembling those used in ancient battlefields.

He reached out his slender, fair hand and grasped the pair of heavy drumsticks.

The moment his fingers touched the drumsticks.

Countless complicated and intricate knowledge such as the beating rhythms, force application techniques, and musical pitch variations of war drums flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

Zhou Huai's gaze instantly changed.

He shook his arms.

"Dong!"

A dull, heavy sound of a drum suddenly resounded, like a sudden clap of thunder on flat ground, spreading across the entire lake shore.

Below, the hundreds of Eternal Night Guild members fiercely fighting exotic beasts suddenly shook.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The drumbeats grew faster and denser.

That stirring rhythm seemed to strike directly upon everyone's heart.

Causing the blood in their bodies to boil out of control.

A Berserker wrestling with an armored rhinoceros felt an inexplicable power rise from the soles of his feet, instantly spreading through all his limbs and bones.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he let out an angry roar.

The muscles on his arms expanded by a circle, visible to the naked eye.

"Lift for me!"

He actually forcefully lifted that armored rhinoceros weighing several tons alive, and then fiercely smashed it toward the nearby beast horde.

A mage who was chanting Fireball in astonishment discovered.

The fireball condensed in his hands was actually a full circle larger than usual, and the heat emitted was even more astonishing.

"Good heavens! What is going on?"

"I feel like my whole body is filled with strength!"

"It's the drumbeats! It's the Lord Master's drumbeats!"

"Under these drumbeats, I feel the power of the skills I release has grown!"

Everyone sensed the changes within themselves.

They fought even more diligently and wildly.

Under these stirring drumbeats, they seemed tireless, transforming into true war machines.

While beating the war drum, Zhou Huai split a thread of consciousness to check Yasuo's attribute panel.

Strength, agility, stamina, spirit…

All attributes obtained a small-scale enhancement.

Neither more nor less, exactly thirty percent.

This was already a fairly terrifying number.

The most crucial part was that this was an area-of-effect group buff.

As long as friendly units could hear the drumbeats, they could enjoy this state bonus.

Zhou Huai again controlled Sona to try several other different types of drums in turn.

The buff effects basically fluctuated between twenty and thirty percent.

None of them were as effective as the very first war drum.

Until he cast his gaze onto the final set of drum kit.

The huge sound System had already been connected.

Controlling Sona, Zhou Huai walked over and sat down in front of the drum kit.

He lifted the hem of his long dress, revealing a pair of slender and straight long legs carved like white jade, gently placing them on the foot pedals.

The next second.

An explosive rhythm abruptly resounded!

"Boom! Clang! Boom boom! Clang!"

Dense drumbeats and wild rhythms instantly ignited the entire battlefield!

If the previous war drum sound was a war song that made one's blood boil.

Then the drum kit at this moment was demonic music that drove people completely crazy!

Below, all members of the Eternal Night Guild felt their adrenaline skyrocketing crazily.

Their actions, their attacks, all became even more violent and hysterical!

"Ahahaha!"

"Awesome! So awesome!"

"Following this rhythm, I feel like I can take on ten!"

A hint of a smile also curled at the corners of Zhou Huai's mouth.

He checked Yasuo's attribute panel once more.

All attributes increased by fifty percent!

So heavy metal rock music was the correct way to unlock this skill.

After testing the effect of [War Song Drum Beating].

Controlling Sona, Zhou Huai took out a bottle of Elementary Mana Recovery Potion from the storage space and drank it in one gulp.

Afterward, he began trying the second skill [Life Chant].

The System endowed Sona with a diva-like perfect voice.

Zhou Huai didn't even need to sing deliberately.

Simply opening his mouth and casually humming a few syllables.

That sound was like celestial music, carrying a strange power that soothed people's hearts as it drifted toward the battlefield.

Below, those guild members injured in battle were surprised to find.

Green healing numbers began to float above their heads one by one.

[+50]

[+50]

[+50]

Although the single healing amount was not high, its strength lay in being continuous.

Zhou Huai did not know the songs of this world.

What he could think of were also those classic pieces of music he had heard on Earth in his past life.

If it were his main body, recalling those melodies and lyrics might still be somewhat vague.

But while on Sona's body, Zhou Huai discovered that all his memories of music from his previous life had become unprecedentedly clear.

He cleared his throat.

One touching song after another, songs that had never appeared in this world, slowly drifted out from Sona's mouth.

That singing voice was at times high-pitched and passionate, and at times melodious and low.

All the guild members who were fighting were once again shocked by this sound of celestial music.

"Lord Master… where are the songs the Lord Master singing from?"

"How come I have never heard a single one?"

"But… but it sounds so good! I feel like my Soul has been healed!"

As expected.

Under the blessing of these classic songs.

The healing effect of [Life Chant] obtained a clear enhancement.

From the initial recovery of 50 health points per second, at its highest, it reached 120 points per second.

This was still only the effect at level 1.

Along with Sona's Rank increase, this healing effect would only grow stronger and stronger.

Moreover, Sona's leveling method was also similar to Zhuge Kongming's.

Each time she completed a full performance or finished singing a complete song, she could gain a certain amount of experience points.

After simply finishing the experiment, Zhou Huai handed Sona's body over to the smart core ai for hosting.

He issued an order.

Letting Sona continuously beat the drum kit or sing songs inside the Secret Realm.

For a time.

The originally bloody and cruel monster-farming grounds of the Secret Realm practically turned into Sona's personal concert.

However, precisely because of Sona's joining.

The monster-farming efficiency of the entire Eternal Night Guild once again obtained a large-scale enhancement.
