383: Classic collaboration

This song was one of his famous hits, "Love Yourself." It was a song he had composed during a time when he was frequently bullied by his three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters; the title, "Love Yourself," held a meaning that perhaps only he truly understood. However, after Long Yuan learned his secret, he could better understand why Justin had created such a song. Thus, his performance carried his own comfort and understanding for Justin, and even carried the intent of encouraging him to work hard and fight. Justin's emotions actually underwent a sublimation under the catalysis of Long Yuan's guitar music. He suddenly discovered that the emotions he had poured into the song were actually being echoed, as if a lonely singer had suddenly met a kindred spirit. At this moment, his emotions were completely mobilized, and he sang with a brand-new musicality that he had never achieved before!!!

It could be said that this was his first time singing so heartily and with such total devotion. Unknowingly, his emotions infected the entire venue. Everyone watching the two performers on stage was mesmerized, completely immersed in the emotional world created by the music... When the song ended, Justin was so moved that he knelt on the ground, unwilling to stand up for a long time!

A continuous wave of applause rang out across the venue... This collaboration was definitely the most classic one in Justin's history. He felt that his level in the Music Dao had actually achieved a Breakthrough!

"Oh my God, Lord, is this... Long Yuan's Music Dao influencing me?!!!" Justin looked around and found that Long Yuan had already returned backstage, leaving him feeling a sense of loss... Li Gui and Xu Ruoying stared blankly at the scene on stage, not even noticing when Long Yuan returned to their side... "Alright, it's time to prepare for my solo performance!" Long Yuan said with a smile.

The two of them snapped out of it, and Xu Ruoying said excitedly, "Long Yuan, your performance was amazing! This scene is definitely one of the classic moments in the music history of Great Ming!"

"Yeah, yeah, I never expected the two of you to coordinate so seamlessly!" Li Gui sighed with emotion.

"I just happened to know the reason why he wrote this song. You could say I am his kindred spirit. It's just like the story of 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' in our history. After Bo Ya found a soulmate in Zhong Ziqi, his music gained a Soul and his playing gained motivation. After Zhong Ziqi died, Bo Ya would rather smash his zither than play it again..." Long Yuan laughed.

"That makes sense! Justin was able to sing so well because he had you as his Soul..." Li Gui realized.

"Uncle Gui, you're joking. It's not that exaggerated!" Long Yuan hurriedly said.

"I told you so! Only a Music Dao expert like Long Yuan could bring out Justin's best state. So our Long Yuan is the best!" Xu Ruoying said firmly.

"Don't, don't, don't. Quickly help me organize the instruments. Later, they need to be placed exactly where I requested..." Long Yuan hurriedly changed the subject... After Justin sang in his best state, his entire being seemed to fall directly from a peak. His subsequent performances began to falter, and he made several mistakes. Once, he almost stepped into thin air and fell from the high stage, causing the crowd to gasp in alarm!

Fortunately, he was a Martial Ancestor himself and reacted quickly, so nothing happened... Realizing that he might lose control of the stage if this continued, Justin hurriedly had his subordinates help maintain the stage's momentum while he retreated to the backstage to adjust... "Mr. Long! Mr. Long!! Mr. Long!!!" the butler shouted urgently while running.

"What's wrong?" Long Yuan was startled.

"Mr. Long, my master's condition seems to have run into some problems and needs adjustment. He wants to ask if you can perform your program ahead of schedule?" the butler said anxiously.

"Oh? Is he still coming back on stage?" Long Yuan asked.

"It's really uncertain right now. I feel like his emotional fluctuations are quite large, even his voice has changed a bit..." the butler sighed, his face looking a bit troubled.

Long Yuan nodded and said, "I understand! Then I'll go on stage early. If your master recovers later, he can continue his performance. If not, just end it. Health is more important!"

"Alright! Thank you for your help, Mr. Long! Your collaborative performance just now was truly wonderful! It's the best I've ever heard!!!" the butler said.

"You flatter me! Go and prepare then, I can go on stage at any time!" Long Yuan said.

"Yes! Mr. Long!!!" the butler replied excitedly, turning and hurrying away... On the Yan Yu Stage, dancers from Snow Eagle Country were performing a very distinctive dance: Tap Dance!

One could see the male and female dancers, each with a vigorous and slender posture, their long legs catching everyone's eyes. With tight waistbands and long boots, they tapped the stage with uniform steps, emitting rhythmic sounds of friction and impact. The tempo perfectly matched the music, and the dancers' formations were constantly changing. Besides tapping on the ground, they would leap into the air and onto surrounding pedals to tap and jump. There was even reverse tapping, where the person was below and the board was above. Even more eye-opening was the spiral tapping, where the entire formation rotated around a suspended spiral board for high-altitude spiral kicks. Such movements were impossible for a Mortal to perform; only a Xuan Practitioner could do them. Such a performance left everyone dazzled and their blood boiling, shouting in delight!

Long Yuan also nodded secretly after seeing this performance backstage. Tap Dance was just an ordinary dance style on Earth, but here on Blue Star, because of the existence of Xuan Practitioners, their individual abilities were greatly enhanced. This transformed Tap Dance into a unique dance style that showcased the superhuman abilities of Xuan Practitioners, making it very popular!

The passionate and unrestrained Tap Dance continued for a while before the dancers gradually exited the stage. However, under the long-lasting cheers of the audience, they had to come out again to give thanks. This return to the stage to give thanks was a full affirmation of the program's quality and a high honor that dancers yearned for.

After such a program filled with metallic impacts and dense rhythms, the Yan Yu Stage suddenly fell silent. Only faint background music played soothingly. The lights on stage shifted, flickering between bright and dim. Just as the audience was confused, many musical instruments had been quietly placed in various corners of the stage... "Is this... could the next performance be an instrumental one?" a sharp-eyed spectator asked suspiciously.

"Strange, this item doesn't seem to be on the performance list!"

"Maybe Justin wants to give us all a surprise?"

"A surprise? I think it's more like a scare! He almost fell from high up just now!"

"Haha, you think it's a scare, but how do you know he didn't do it on purpose to make our hearts race..."

"It's possible! But with my eyesight, Justin really did lose control of his body just now. Didn't you see that he hasn't come back on stage since he retreated?"
