Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 97

Chapter 97

Only then did everybody recall . It was said that Lin Huiyin had written a new song on her way to Earth .

Preceded by the championing single, "Not Afraid," everybody had high expectations of the new piece .

When word of the new song got out, people were doubtful . Writing a song required good inspiration and pouring in the soul . The song's unique style had gained much attention, but the question was: was it that simple to come up with a new song?

How much skills could a little girl like her possess?

The lights were still dim when the large screens came alive .

It was like a world of darkness .

The world gradually grew bright . A soldier wearing the Earth Alliance uniform appeared . He seemed to be from the special forces . Judging by the medals he wore, he had been through many wars . All of a sudden, he was encapsulated in a dark, underground battlefield . The whole section was surrounded by enemies and there was no choice but to activate the nuclear weapon . And him, the soldier, the leader of the team, executed the final task .

When all his section mates had evacuated, his mech blew up . Although he survived the ordeal, his world became dark . He was blind .

What did this mean for a soldier? A warrior?

His name was Johnson . He was a soldier .

These videos came from war records . Right about then, the narration began . A low voice said, "To soldiers, only death is the end . The fight never ends . "

The screens changed into a CT battle scene .

Wargod No . 1 versus the Dark Lord .

Everyone was surprised . What was this concert about?

But very soon, the audience was astounded . This was the final pride of a blind warrior . He was battling in a different way .

He was as skillful as ever . Nobody could have thought that this lead role was a warrior from Earth . That was their pride!

The singing began, accompanying the bewildering battle .

If I could see, I would tell day apart from night

I would hold your hand in the crowd

If I could see, I would drive you all around

If I could see, my life would not be the same

But what I want . . .

The darkness I see is not the dark . The light you describe, what is light?

Nobody had thought that Lin Huiyin's new song would be so lyrical .

Yet it was different from the feeling of refreshment in the past . Her sweet voice rang in their ears, but what their eyes saw was war on a battlefield .

How did a blind person achieve this?

But his opponent was no less than him . Riding a Wargod No . 1 to battle in such a complex, underground environment?

The song and the battle . An ultimate pair . The tension in the battlefield was at its highest . Johnson made a move .

It was also then that the song suddenly came to a climax .

You are my eyes, you bring me through the changes of the seasons .

You are my eyes…

Even though it was a new song, in that moment, the audience erupted . Just what was this?

Determination . Perseverance . A clash of the titans . This was the meaning of life!

When the last line of "you are my eyes" faded away, the Wargod No . 1 saluted his opponent on the big screen .

Such failure was, in a way, success .

Lin Huiyin took a deep bow . "Thank you, everybody . Earth is a beautiful planet . Everything here has left me a deep impression . This song is for you, and for all the brave warriors!"

All of her fans went wild . The crowd continued to cheer for a long time after Lin Huiyin left the stage .

If "Not Afraid" expressed deep seated rebellion, this new song had come to a whole new level . Lin Huiyin had begun to look at the very nature of mankind .

There were plenty of media reporters and commentators present . Just by looking at her fans' reaction, you could tell that Lin Huiyin had successfully conveyed her message .

Without doubt, this was going to become the headline on the cover page .

An unstoppable, changing voice of an angel!

During the curtain call, a row of naked men came running out . They spelled out Lin Huiyin's name in the Aslanic language, topped with a huge heart shape .

Seeing that the camera was facing them, the well-built men struck a pose to flaunt their muscles while wildly screaming Lin Huiyin's name .

The men and women were all cheering . The audience's excitement did not subside . Everything was already perfect when "Not Afraid" was performed, and no one could have thought that a surprise would top it off, like a cherry on the icing .

In just those few moments, the live broadcast viewership came to an all-year high everywhere in the Solar System . Many other places in the Milky Way also did live streaming of the Earth concert . This untitled new single was simultaneously made known to everyone .

Within an hour, Lin Huiyin's latest single, "War of the Blind," had received over 8 million pre-orders .

Some faraway countries in the Milky Way Alliance also began to pay attention to this planet on the fringe .

Members of the Skeleton Corps lost their minds . The lead characters in the MV were Skeleton and Johnson, the vice captain of the Corps .

Songs and their stories were inseparable .

Johnson could not see clearly . Everything in front of him was just a blur, but he could clearly hear the voice . The voice that touched his soul, the voice that sang his desires .

At that moment, his Skylink rang .

"Johnson, to celebrate your outstanding performance, the nation would like to bear all the costs of your restoration surgery . "

The entire procedure was extremely costly . It involved organ reconstruction . Johnson did not bear any hopes, neither did he have a single word of complaint . There were simply too many men who were like him in the army . As soldiers, they never complained . Not from the moment they put their uniforms on .

Now there was hope for him . . . there was a chance that he could see the light again .

He was willing to give anything just to put on his uniform and ride a mech again .

His spirit would have continued to burn even if his body was destroyed .

Wang Zheng heard the new single too . On his way back, many pedestrians and magnetic force vehicles had stopped in their tracks to listen to this song .

The earlier songs could put people in good moods . They provided an outlet for people to express themselves comfortably . But this song was on a different level . It moved people . It touched souls .

Wang Zheng listened to the whole song in silence . He changed his mind about Lin Huiyin . He could feel that there was something admirable about this girl for her to be able to compose a piece like that .

Back in his dormitory, Wang Zheng began to study the things Old Merchant gave him . He had only prepared the for the formulae in stage one and could only take part in the remaining stages . Wang Zheng believed that given Xiao Fei's capabilities, she just needed some time to make the plan work . But with Old Merchant's help, it would definitely, 100 percent, work .

Old Merchant had given the final three step formula . It wasn't just a guide to space navigation, but also an introduction to teleportation .

Having spent so much time with Old Merchant, Wang Zheng also became addicted to arithmetic and could easily work such things out through calculations . These days, Wang Zheng only truly idolised Old Merchant . He really lived up to his reputation .

How did he come to make his calculations this way?

Student Wang smiled to himself as he did the math . The theories required, Old Merchant had taught him . Even though the final results were given, going through the whole justification process still took quite some time .

In reality, there was no need for Wang Zheng to be too hard on himself . Even if Alan Tucker provided the formula needed, there would be no more than ten men in the whole Milky Way who could solve it .

There was a particular type of genius, who could stand proudly amongst heroes . Alan Tucker was one of them .

Wang Zheng was so engrossed in his study that he lost track of time . Footsteps came crashing in, and all sorts of whining and lamenting came from the corridors .

The doors opened . Yao Ailun and gang skipped in, pouncing right at Wang Zheng .

"Where on earth did you go? Let me tell you something: missing out on such an exciting concert, you'll regret that for a lifetime!" Yao Ailun exclaimed .

Zhang Shan could not let the concert go . "Wang Zheng you really should have came! I dare say, Huiyin will become the greatest musician of this generation!"

"Of course! She's a goddess - my goddess!" Chen Xiu's cheeks and eyes were all red . It seemed like he had been crying .

"Look at you! She's all our of goddess! Wang Zheng, are you a man? You actually missed Lin Huiyin's concert!"

Yao Ailun shook his head and sighed . The kid standing in front of him was of no hope . Zhang Shan and Chen Xiu looked at Wang Zheng too, as if doubting his orientation in a particular aspect .

Wang Zheng was speechless . What was wrong with these people! Was being obsessed with Lin Huiyin human nature? Even if eggs were delicious, there was no need to befriend the chicken that laid it .

"Damn . When did you become such a hard learner?"

There was a pile of mathematical workings on Wang Zheng's desk .

"Are you for real? You didn't show up for Huiyin's concert and cooped yourself in here to do these things? What a hypocrite!"

Zhang Shan was hysterical . This lad spent significantly more time in the Mecha Department than in Physics . Soon, he was expected to spend more time in special training, and now he was dabbling in calculus?

Yao Ailun could not stop looking after he glanced through the first page . It could have been the post-concert high that made his brains work better than usual .

"Good… . Lord… What on earth is this???"

Chen Xiu joined in . The two of them had pretty high standards, and Xiao Fei had taken special interest in grooming them . But they could hardly make sense out of Wang Zheng's workings . It seemed like . . .

Because Zhang Shan had completely turned his interests to mecha, and because he was slower than the rest, he could not understand a single thing .

"What's that? I've never seen some of these formulas . Is this Bolre's Rule? It's applicable?"

Zhang Shan wore an incredulous look . He knew that Wang Zheng behaved like a monster . Could it be… . ?

Yao Ailun flipped through the pages . "Don't tell me you've… . "

"I'm not through with it . But seems like it's possible . "

Wang Zheng explained . He did up the first stage all by himself, but it was better not to tell them . It would freak them out .

The three of them looked at each other and screamed .

Xiao Fei was also at the concert . She was a special guest . She had great seats and could even take pictures with Lin Huiyin after the concert .

She was Lin Huiyin's fan, Lin Huiyin was her fan . Different Industries, but each a shining star in her own area .

Lin Huiyin was also elated that her Earth show went so very well . Ever since arriving on Earth, she's had some great inspirations and had finally made a breakthrough . She was no longer "just a beautiful voice" now that she could create music with soul .

Music told stories . Stories came from people . Now that her music embodied people, they had stories and souls . Her music could now convey more messages . The unique feelings it evoked could cross borders, cross the boundaries of race, and even cross generations .
