A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 331: Pipa

A few of the older females led the others to a sheltered corner of the battlefield.

Numerous warriors and their partners formed a protective circle around them.

Inside this circle was an Energy Shield, shimmering with a blue light.

The materials needed for this kind of Energy Shield were extremely expensive and rare, and the source materials were controlled by the Empire.

Therefore, the Federation had very few, using them only on important planets, cities, and buildings.

However, each legion was equipped with one small-scale Energy Shield for protecting people, specifically meant to shield the soothing masters and Medical Masters.

With the support of the Energy Shield, the females’ partners visibly relaxed a little.

At the very least, it would guard against many threats they might not notice.

After all, no one knew for sure what kinds of abilities these Alien Beasts possessed.

Just like their meat, their powers were bizarre and varied.

...

All the females took out small, soft, and convenient chairs from their Space Buttons and sat down.

Then, they closed their eyes, trying hard to focus.

The surrounding sounds were too chaotic.

’Gentle, sentimental songs aren’t right for this situation,’ Jiang Qin thought.

So, an idea for a classic piece suddenly came to her.

From her Space Button, she took out a pipa, and also produced a chair to sit on.

She rarely used this instrument. For soothing, she usually chose songs with more relaxed and gentle melodies.

For those kinds of pieces, the instruments used were mostly the piano and guitar.

She would occasionally use the Zither as well.

Only the pipa, erhu, and suona were instruments she rarely had the chance to use.

At this moment, however, she felt that this battlefield and these three instruments were a perfect match.

She connected to the sound system.

The powerful, clanging notes of "Ambush from All Sides" rang out across the battlefield.

The Alien Beasts couldn’t process the sound, but the warriors suddenly felt their spiritual power surge with excitement.

Most notably, the Spiritual Bodies of many females suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

They were different from their usual state during soothing; they seemed exceptionally excited and radiated a powerful aura.

All of this was because of the rabbit Spiritual Body at their forefront.

In the darkness of the night, the golden light emanating from it was like a single spark that could start a wildfire.

Gradually, some of them forgot they were on a battlefield, beginning to enter an immersive state of combat.

Their eyes saw only the enemy before them!

TWANG, TWANG, TWANG—the melody, carrying the momentum of clashing blades, continued to play.

Suddenly, a black Wolf Beastman on the battlefield threw his head back and let out a long howl.

AWOOO—

The wolf’s howl was hoarse yet majestic, carrying a scorching, violent aura.

The Beastman next to the black wolf noticed that his body had doubled in size and his eyes were blood-red.

"Dammit, he’s frenzied! Everyone, get away from him!"

"Quick, prioritize taking down the Frenzied Beastman!"

"Brother, I’m sorry." A Beastman choked back a sob as he turned away from the Alien Beasts, choosing instead to first kill his comrade who had lost all reason and completely devolved into a Frenzied Beast.

This situation was very common on the battlefield.

However, before he could act, a Wolf-toothed Dog Beastman beside him also began to swell in size.

In the blink of an eye, he was twice his original size, his eyes blood-red and his aura scorching hot.

"Damn, another one’s frenzied."

"There’s one over here, too..."

"And here..."

"Reporting to the Admiral, the Beastmen around me have basically all gone frenzied."

Mo Chen nearly lost all his strength and collapsed.

This was the battle with the most Beastmen ever to devolve into Frenzied Beasts in all of Interstellar history.

They were about to face senseless attacks from both their former comrades and the horde of Alien Beasts!

No one understood why all the Beastmen had suddenly gone frenzied.

Even the females didn’t understand.

Although the effect they were having wasn’t huge, it shouldn’t have been counterproductive.

But Mo Chen soon realized something was wrong.

Because the frenzied Beastmen weren’t pouncing on their comrades nearby; they were continuing to fight the Alien Beasts.

He suddenly called out to one of the Frenzied Beastmen, asking, "Wei Peng, how are you feeling right now?"

Wei Peng, immersed in the thrill of battle, found the Admiral’s concern a bit baffling, but he still answered honestly, "Admiral, I’m doing great!"

"You’re conscious?"

This question was even more confusing.

Wei Peng didn’t overthink it, just assuming the commanding officers wanted to assign him a mission and were checking his mental state.

"Admiral, I’m perfectly clear-headed right now. My brain might have a few minor glitches, but it’s not affecting its function one bit."

Mo Chen: ...

He couldn’t quite wrap his head around the current situation, but having frenzied warriors who could still maintain their sanity was the best possible outcome.

With this batch of vastly empowered Frenzied Beastmen, the Federation Soldiers could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Si Xu, who had been observing from the side, finally understood the reason for the Beastmen’s sudden frenzy.

It was Jiang Qin!

The piece she was playing had the effect of unlocking a Beastman’s latent potential!

But how was that possible?

’Who could unlock a Beastman’s potential just by listening to a piece of music, without drinking any potions?’

It was simply inconceivable, as if someone were telling him a fairy tale.

However, the truth was right in front of him. It was useless even if he refused to believe it.

***

Jiang Qin’s hands never stopped, and she didn’t change the piece she was playing.

She seemed to have entered a profound, mystical state.

Even though her fingers were dripping with blood from playing, she didn’t seem to feel a thing.

Amidst the sound of her pipa, the other females also seemed to be immersed in some kind of illusion, none of them opening their eyes.

Their Spiritual Bodies all gathered around Jiang Qin’s Spiritual Body, showing faint signs of submission.

Yun Xie and Lan Yuyan watched this scene, not knowing what they should do.

They didn’t dare to disturb her, yet they were worried about her fingers.

...

「The battle lasted until dawn.」

Even after the Alien Beasts had retreated and the music had stopped, they could still hear the phantom notes, like an ambush, like an assault.

Rising and falling, faint yet distinct, like the clash of crossing blades.

Just as everyone was grieving over the rivers of blood on the battlefield, they discovered that the frenzied Beastmen hadn’t died, hadn’t descended into madness, and had even reverted to their human forms??

"You???"

Wei Peng felt like his whole body was about to fall apart, and when his comrade next to him stared at him as if he were some kind of monster, he instantly became annoyed.

"What are you staring at me for? Am I not allowed to lie down on the bloody ground?"

’Doesn’t he know how filthy this ground is, a mire of minced flesh, severed limbs, and blood?’

But he was just so tired!

His strength now was as depleted as his valor had been magnificent the night before.

His comrade beside him truly felt as if he had seen a ghost.

"Y-You... how can you change back to your human form?"

"??? What? The Alien Beasts have retreated. If I don’t change back to my human form, am I trying to make my Riot Value shoot up faster?"

His comrade fell silent. "...Wait, you don’t know you were frenzied last night?"

"???" Wei Peng was speechless. "Tch, that’s not a funny joke at all."
