The Ancient Zither's sound arrived like a tempest!

The audience could distinctly feel the solemn atmosphere of a fierce battlefield.

Clare felt transported to an ancient battlefield, where she observed a silver-armored general atop a white steed, brandishing a silver spear as he pierced through the enemy's ranks amid the surging waves of soldiers on both sides!

At that moment, Clare was impressed by Cara's performance. But her pride didn't allow her to appreciate it anymore. Clare simply wished to shield her ears, rendering herself impervious to every sound, not even a single note.

The third piece was titled "Triumphant Return."

After listening to the prelude, Clare promptly switched off the live stream.

She understood that there was no point in continuing.

Cara skillfully mastered all the melodies. Moreover, she received additional guidance from Maria.

Clare had to concede defeat. She was utterly vanquished by Cara.

Onstage, Cara rose and offered a solemn bow to convey her gratitude to those who heard her performance.

"Is it over?"

"Has Cara's solo ended?"

"No, please stay. I haven't heard enough!"

Once more, the comments in the live-streaming room echoed in unison.

They implored Cara to remain and carry on with her performance.

Simultaneously, the audience erupted into the most exuberant applause within the theater!

The resounding applause genuinely astonished Cara.

She executed another bow before exiting the stage.

However, as Cara retreated backstage, she discovered that the applause had not subsided.

Quite the opposite, it had grown even more rhythmic...

“Bravo, Cara."

As her performance ended, Atwood, the esteemed conductor, approached her.

“Why are you lingering here, young Lady?"

Lost in her thoughts, Cara responded, “I've finished my solo. Why go back?"
