Two hours later.

System Notification: SS-Rank Clone 'Phantom Musician Sona' has been successfully generated!

Zhou Huai's mind stirred, and a white light flashed.

As the light dissipated, a breathtakingly beautiful figure stood quietly there.

She had long, deep-sea blue hair, tied into playful yet elegant twin pigtails that reached her waist.

Her features were exquisitely delicate, ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) unlike a Mortal's, each sculpted as if by the most meticulous divine hand.

Though dressed in the simplest gray cloth, it could not conceal her captivating, nation-toppling charm.

Most striking were her proud, almost exaggerated curves, a stark contrast to her slender waist.

Zhou Huai looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

“Not bad, not bad.”

His modeling skills were truly becoming more advanced.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness instantly transferring to Sona.

The next second, he opened his eyes.

The feeling was indeed completely different from a male character.

His body was much lighter, and when he moved his limbs, they felt exceptionally flexible.

It was just that his chest felt a little heavy.

He instinctively looked down.

Sure enough.

He couldn't see his toes.

Controlling Sona, Zhou Huai took elegant steps and left the third-floor bedroom.

The moment she appeared in the Eternal Night Guild hall on the first floor.

The entire hall, which had been bustling with noise, suddenly fell silent.

All the coming and going Guild members, regardless of gender, stopped in their tracks.

They stared intently at the stunning woman who had suddenly appeared, their faces filled with awe and shock.

Even Jasmine, who was directing work, gasped in surprise, momentarily forgetting to speak.

The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It took a full ten seconds before Jasmine suddenly snapped back to her senses.

She could clearly sense the familiar and awe-inspiring Soul aura emanating from the incredibly beautiful woman before her.

She dared not show any disrespect, quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply, her attitude utterly deferential.

“Greetings, Master!”

This cry, like a clap of thunder, instantly jolted the other still-stunned members awake.

“Whoosh—!”

A collective gasp swept through the crowd.

Immediately after, everyone uniformly dropped to one knee, their movements perfectly synchronized.

“Greetings, Master!”

A tidal wave surged in their hearts.

Oh my god!

Master could even transform into such a beautiful and charming woman!

Indeed, Master was truly so mysterious and powerful!

Zhou Huai, controlling Sona, softly hummed “Mm.”

A melodious, heavenly female voice emanated from her lips.

“There's nothing for you here, go back to your work.”

“Yes, Master!”

No one dared to delay, quickly rising from the ground and scattering to continue their work.

However, their eyes couldn't help but steal glances in her direction.

Jasmine, very perceptive, came before Sona, lowering her posture even further.

“Master, what are your commands?”

Zhou Huai, using Sona's body, looked around and spoke.

“Send someone to buy all the drums available on the market for me.”

“Also, the best microphones and speakers.”

Although Jasmine was puzzled, she didn't ask a single question.

“As you command, Master.”

She immediately nodded, turned, and quickly went to arrange the purchases.

One hour later.

By the lake in the Abyss of Mist.

Zhou Huai, controlling Sona, stood quietly on a large rock.

Little Black Dragon seemed to really like Zhou Huai's new Clone.

Its enormous black Dragon head kept nuzzling Sona's arm affectionately, emitting satisfied purring sounds.

Little Black had now almost fully digested the energy from its eggshell.

Its Rank had reached LV5.

Its Health Points had officially surpassed the million mark, reaching a terrifying 1.2 million.

Its size had also grown to over two meters tall, standing there like a small mountain, full of oppressive presence.

Zhou Huai stroked its head, took out a magic crystal from his storage space, and threw it over.

“Go, play by yourself.”

Little Black, holding the magic crystal in its mouth, let out a joyful cry and ran off to play by itself.

Soon, several Guild members carried over various types of drums bought from the market, placing them one by one on the giant rock.

Zhou Huai's gaze first fell upon a large war drum, similar to those used on ancient battlefields.

He extended a slender, fair hand and grasped the heavy drumsticks.

The moment his fingers touched the drumsticks.

Countless complex knowledge about war drum beats, striking techniques, and tonal variations flooded his mind like a tide.

Zhou Huai's eyes instantly changed.

He flexed his arms.

“Boom!”

A deep, heavy drum sound suddenly erupted, like a clap of thunder on flat ground, echoing across the entire lake shore.

Below, the hundreds of Eternal Night Guild members fiercely battling the exotic beasts, felt their bodies jolt.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The drumbeats became faster and more frequent.

The stirring rhythm seemed to strike directly at the heart of every person.

Making the blood in their bodies boil uncontrollably.

A berserker, currently locked in a struggle with an armored rhinoceros, felt an inexplicable power surge from his feet, instantly spreading through his limbs.

His eyes bloodshot, he let out a furious roar.

The muscles on his arms visibly swelled a full size.

“Get up for me!”

He actually managed to lift the several-ton armored rhinoceros clean off the ground and then slammed it fiercely into the nearby pack of beasts.

A mage, chanting a Fireball spell, was astonished to find.

The Fireball he had conjured was a full size larger than usual, and the heat it emitted was even more astonishing.

“My god! What's going on?”

“I feel like I'm filled with power!”

“It's that drum sound! It's Master's drum sound!”

“Under this drum sound, I feel like the power of my released skills has increased!”

Everyone felt the changes within themselves.

They fought even harder, even more wildly.

Under the stirring drumbeats, they seemed tireless, transforming into true war machines.

While striking the war drum, Zhou Huai diverted a wisp of his consciousness to check Yasuo's attribute panel.

Strength, Agility, Stamina, Spirit...

All attributes had received a slight increase.

Exactly thirty percent, no more, no less.

This was already a rather terrifying number.

Most importantly, this was an area-of-effect group buff.

Any friendly unit that could hear the drum sound could enjoy this status boost.

Zhou Huai then, controlling Sona, successively tried several other types of drums.

The buff effects generally fluctuated between twenty and thirty percent.

None were as effective as the initial war drum.

Until he turned his gaze to the final drum kit.

The huge speakers were already connected.

Zhou Huai, controlling Sona, walked to the drum kit and sat down.

She lifted the hem of her long skirt, revealing a pair of long, straight legs, sculpted like white jade, and gently placed them on the foot pedals.

The next second.

A explosive rhythm roared out!

“Boom! Clap! Boom boom! Clap!”

The dense drumbeats, the wild rhythm, instantly ignited the entire battlefield!

If the sound of the war drum just now was a battle song that made people's blood boil.

Then the drum kit at this moment was a demonic sound that drove people completely insane!

Below, all the Eternal Night Guild members felt their adrenaline surging wildly.

Their movements, their attacks, became even more ferocious, even more hysterical!

“Ah ah ah ah!”

“Awesome! This is too awesome!”

“Following this rhythm, I feel like I can take on ten!”

Zhou Huai's lips also curved into a smile.

He checked Yasuo's attribute panel again.

All attributes increased by fifty percent!

It turned out that heavy metal rock music was the correct way to unleash this skill.

After testing the effects of 【Battle Song Drumming】.

Zhou Huai, controlling Sona, took out a bottle of Elementary Mana Potion from his storage space and drank it down.

Then, he began to try the second skill, 【Aria of Life】.

The System had endowed Sona with a perfect, queen-like singing voice.

Zhou Huai didn't even need to deliberately sing.

Just opening his mouth and casually humming a few notes.

The sound, like a heavenly melody, carried a strange, soothing power that drifted towards the battlefield.

Below, the Guild members injured in battle were surprised to find.

Green healing numbers began to float above their heads.

“+50”

“+50”

“+50”

Although the single healing amount was not high, it was continuous.

Zhou Huai didn't know the songs of this world.

All he could recall were the classic songs he had heard in his previous life on Earth.

If it were his main body, recalling those melodies and lyrics might still be somewhat blurry.

But when in Sona's body, Zhou Huai found that all his memories of music from his previous life became clearer than ever before.

He cleared his throat.

One after another, moving songs, never before heard in this world, slowly emerged from Sona's lips.

The singing, at times high-pitched and passionate, at times melodious and low.

All the Guild members engaged in battle were once again shaken by this heavenly sound.

“Master...where are Master's songs from?”

“How come I've never heard any of them?”

“But...but they're really too beautiful! I feel like my Soul has been healed!”

Indeed.

With the enhancement of these classic songs.

The healing effect of 【Aria of Life】 received a significant boost.

From the initial 50 Health Points per second, it reached a maximum of 120 Health Points per second.

And this was only the effect at Rank 1.

As Sona's Rank increased, this healing effect would only become stronger.

Sona's leveling method was also similar to Zhuge Kongming's.

Each time she completed a full performance or sang a complete song, she would gain a certain amount of experience.

After a simple experiment, Zhou Huai handed Sona's body over to the Smart Core AI for management.

He issued an instruction.

To have Sona continuously strike the drum kit or sing songs in the Secret Realm.

For a time.

The originally bloody and cruel Secret Realm monster-grinding ground had transformed into Sona's personal concert.

However, precisely because of Sona's inclusion.

The monster-grinding efficiency of the entire Eternal Night Guild once again received a significant boost.
