Chapter 679

From Sharon’s violin flowed a stream of music so exquisite it seemed to breathe life into the air itself.

This time, she did not play First Love. Instead, she chose another of her own compositions-Moonlight over the Sea.

The notes drifted out, delicate and luminous, like sprites leaping into being. They spiraled through the hall, wrapping the competition venue in a hushed enchantment.

Compared with the sorrow of First Love, Moonlight over the Sea carried a softer, calmer grace.

In the eyes of the audience, an image slowly took shape.

A tranquil sea stretched wide beneath the glow of a flawless new moon. The gentle rush of waves seemed to wash away the

audience’s restless anxieties.

The surface of the water rocked lightly, and the moon’s reflection shimmered in rhythm, as if reminding everyone that in the face

of such natural beauty, every burden and worry lost its weight.

Sharon’s music wove a spell, drawing every soul into its tide.

And she, in the midst of performance, seemed transformed.

At that moment, Sharon was like the distant moon itself-serene, untouchable, her entire being cloaked in a soft radiance that

made it impossible to look away.

For the audience, there was no one else. Only her.

John, who often practiced with Sharon, recognized Moonlight over the Sea. Lately, she had been practicing with renewed vigor,

and her skill had already recovered to seventy or eighty percent of its peak.

But even that seventy or eighty percent still eclipsed his own ability.

Gazing at the figure on stage, John-famously hailed as a genius-couldn’t help but murmur, “Sharon truly is a prodigy.”

Reina and the others, who had been waiting for Sharon to embarrass herself, started out scoffing and making idle remarks. But as

time passed, surprise crept across their faces.

And soon, even they could not resist being swept away by her music.

Only Maestro Warner sat in silence, eyes fixed on the stage, his expression shadowed with thought.

When the final note faded, silence lingered, deep and resonant.

Then someone clapped.

Like a spark in dry grass, applause erupted-thunderous and unrelenting, shaking the hall.

Faces everywhere glowed with awe, as if still caught in the music’s afterglow.

“Already? That ended too soon. I could have listened forever.”

“What’s the name of that piece? I’ve never heard it before.”

“Neither have I. Has anyone?”

Whispers rippled through the crowd, but not a single person knew its title.

“How strange. For a piece this beautiful, no one knows where it came from?”

“Weren’t people saying Sharon’s talent was all hype? After hearing her today, I wouldn’t be surprised if she took the championship.”

“I thought the same! The online rumors sounded so convincing-that she had powerful backing, that her videos were heavily edited… and I actually believed them.”

“Bah, online gossip is never worth trusting.”

While the audience chattered, the host stepped back onto the stage, smiling.

This year’s organizers were determined to boost attention. They had even borrowed from variety show formats, adding dramatic

twists and gimmicks.

The competition featured not only a panel of judges, but also live online voting.

Viewers could select the contestant they believed strongest.

The votes, however, would not affect the official results-this was no debut talent show. In the end, true skill outweighed

popularity.

Even so, the contestant with the highest popularity score earned a coveted prize: the chance to travel abroad with the national

team.

They might not compete, but to witness the duels between international masters firsthand was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only to learn but to forge connections with the finest talents from around the world.
