Chapter 204 The Realm of Five Tones
Hearing Yu Mengyang's words, Ye Ru was naturally overjoyed, after all, having his own vocal range would greatly enhance his strength.
The others looked at Ye Ru with envy, and many secretly resolved to befriend him when they returned.
As for the students of the School of Diplomacy and Legalism, their faces were flushed with shame. In the ears of the other party, what they had said earlier was like that of a clown, while they were still overjoyed.
They thought about it, but they blamed everything on Ye Ru, and their disgust for Ye Ru grew even stronger.
"I am using this to test you. Firstly, to see your true talents and learning. Secondly, I also want to find a student to help me build a realm of five tones in the Yaoge Pavilion of Yingtian Academy."
Yu Mengyang looked at Ye Ru:
"Now I have found the right person. Ye Ru is the best candidate to build the Five Tones Realm with me."
The crowd stirred. Although they didn't know what the Five Tones Realm was, the benefits of working with these musicians were numerous.
"May I ask, if I may be so bold as to ask, what exactly is this Realm of Five Tones?"
Ye Ru frowned, then said modestly.
"The Five Tones are the five tones: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu. These five tones belong to the Five Elements, and the five internal organs can influence and regulate them. The reason for constructing the Five Tones is that Yingtian Academy is becoming increasingly weak and needs something to enhance its reputation. However, this Five Tones is a newly proposed idea that has not been tested by anyone before. Its function is to use the five tones to communicate with the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, so that they can send down their talents to enhance the abilities and talents of the students of Yingtian Academy."
After a moment of contemplation, Yu Mengyang raised his head and said seriously.
This made Ye Ru's lips twitch slightly; it turned out that this was just a hypothetical plan.
"However, although this is just a concept, the Five Tones Realm must succeed, because this project has already been reported to the National Sacred Academy. At that time, the musicians from the National Sacred Academy, along with the musicians from the other three major academies, will come here to observe. If it fails, the entire Yingtian Academy will be plunged into a state of destruction."
At this moment, Yu Mengyang took a deep breath, her face becoming extremely solemn.
He knew that if the other three academies came to watch, and he failed, the honor accumulated by Yingtian Academy would be completely wiped out, replaced by endless attacks from the other academies.
Therefore, this honor belongs not only to him personally, but also to the entire Yingtian Academy.
Everyone became somewhat solemn. They knew that while the internal struggles were one thing, they would unite and work together against external threats should any external events occur.
"Since Mr. Yu has spoken, then I will naturally comply."
Ye Ru bowed to Yu Mengyang.
"Thank you. With the completion of the Five Tones Realm, your name will surely appear on the Scholar's List."
Yu Mengyang nodded, then addressed the students below:
"Now let's announce the selected candidates. There are a total of 108 students. There is one person at the sixth realm or above, Kong Zhixuan; 36 people at the fourth realm or above; and 52 people at the third realm or above..."
"And there is one person who has reached the full eight realms... Ye Ru."
Although everyone knew the final result, they still couldn't help but gasp when they heard that only Ye Ru had reached the full eight realms.
"Alright, now you can all go back. You can come here to practice your zither every night. Yaoge has a special zither room. After reaching the second realm, you can go to the second pavilion to practice the second realm."
Yu Mengyang waved his hand, and after everyone bowed as disciples, they slowly withdrew.
"Brother Ye Ru, you were absolutely amazing before. As expected, you should have reached the first realm as well, right?"
Qu Ge excitedly followed Ye Ru and said.
"No, not yet, I haven't even entered the first realm yet..."
Ye Ru smiled, then walked away, leaving Qu Ge standing there alone, looking dazed.
"Nursery rhyme, Little White, I'm back."
"Young Master Ye Ru, I've prepared the meal. Come and eat!"
After Ye Ru entered, Su Tongyao brought out three chicken legs, three bowls of rice, and some vegetables. Ye Ru was stunned when he saw this.
"Where did you cook this?"
"I went to the school cafeteria today and found out they were hiring, so I applied and was surprised to be selected. They pay half a string of cash a month and provide meals. Yingtian Academy is really great; they let us choose. I picked these, and we'll eat something else tomorrow."
Su Tongyao said sweetly, which made Ye Ru's heart ache. He said softly:
"Tongyao, I promised Grandpa Su that I would protect you. We didn't have a good life before, but now I have achieved fame and success. From now on, I will take care of making money. You should rest well and not work anymore."
“I’m not tired. I’m happy to be with Young Master Ye Ru. Things are different now than at the Ye Mansion. Everything you need to spend money on, so I should naturally be more frugal.”
Su Tongyao took Ye Ru's hand and said softly.
"Let's eat first."
A feeling of gratitude welled up in Ye Ru's heart. He thought that after finishing his meal, he would go and see if there was any work available, as he didn't know when the money provided by the academy would arrive.
"Ye Ru, if I'm not mistaken, your skills in playing the zither and calligraphy have improved significantly, haven't they?"
Xiao Bai asked.
"Well, although the zither hasn't reached the first realm yet, it should be soon. The calligraphy has already reached the second realm."
"Next, you can try learning painting. Painting can be attached to literary treasures to enhance their attributes. Painting, like poetry, can summon spirits of talent. If you learn all four arts, you will have many more trump cards than others."
Xiao Bai said this while eating.
"Therefore, without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small streams, one cannot form a great river or sea. I should start learning from the basics. If I aim too high, I will definitely neglect one thing for another."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"Alright, then let's learn according to your idea."
Xiaobai said.
Bang bang bang!
While Ye Ru and the others were eating, a rapid knock came at the door, and Su Tongyao quickly opened it.
"what happened?"
Ye Ru took a bite of rice and then said.
"Young Master Ye, there are many students from poor families outside who want to see you."
Su Tongyao turned her head and said.
"A student from a poor family? What's the matter?"
Ye Ru came out and asked, seeing a dozen or so poor students outside, their faces filled with grief and indignation. The leader said:
“Brother Ye Ru, we are both students from poor families, you must help us.”
"what happened?"
Ye Ru frowned and said.
“Brother Ye Ru, you don’t know this, but today a few of us were traveling together when we ran into some students from wealthy families. They called us country bumpkins, and one of my classmates couldn’t help but fight with them. As a result, dozens of people surrounded us. We escaped and, remembering that you are the only student from a poor family to enter the erudite class, we came to find you.”
