"Anmeng, it's been a long time."
An Meng turned around and looked at Jiang Kehan walking towards her. After a brief moment of surprise, she opened her arms wide and hugged Jiang Kehan, giving her a hard pat on the back.
"Long time no see, Kehan!"
"Did you come here to play with me?"
An Meng let go of Jiang Kehan's hand and looked at her with some curiosity.
"Of course." Jiang Kehan scratched her cheek with her finger, looked at An Meng, and said with some emotion.
"I only know a little about rock and roll, and I rely entirely on stereotypes, so naturally I came here to play with you."
"However... you seem to have become much more cheerful."
An Meng straightened her back with a hint of pride, patted her chest, and said, "Of course, giving up the duel doesn't mean I'm starting to slack off. I'm still learning."
"And rock music is just a way for me to relax."
"To be honest, after giving up the duel, I suddenly found that I felt much less pressure and I felt more natural."
She raised her head slightly, looked at the azure sky and the leisurely floating clouds, and said this.
"Although I still shed tears of excitement every time I recall our victory, well..."
"Perhaps I am already satisfied."
An Meng turned around, gazing at Jiang Kehan with a radiant smile, and began to speak.
"Captain, An Meng in front of you is so easily satisfied."
Jiang Kehan smiled, then asked with interest, "So, which path do you plan to take in the future?"
A duel is ultimately just one of countless choices, perhaps a little more dazzling, but essentially no different.
"I want to travel to different parts of the world and record different lives in my own way."
An Meng had clearly thought about it many times, and could answer easily: "Perhaps, I am more suited to be a free and unrestrained traveler like the original witch."
"But let's not talk about this anymore, Kehan."
"Would you like to compete with me?"
She reached out her hand to Jiang Kehan, winked slightly, and said mischievously, "Rock and roll is a really cool thing!"
Jiang Kehan smiled helplessly, took out the ticket Ruoxin had given her, waved it, and said jokingly.
"That's exactly why I came here, but speaking of which, what's the first step to learning rock and roll?"
An Meng immediately revealed a malicious smile. She vigorously waved the guitar in her hand and said loudly and matter-of-factly.
"Of course, it's about learning to smash someone's head with a guitar!"
The rock-and-roll witches around them burst into laughter, and many of them started playing upbeat tunes. A few witches even joined in by banging their guitars on the ground, making a thumping sound.
Chapter 457 focuses on a freebie.
Feeling this warmth, Jiang Kehan scratched her head slightly, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
"It seems like I'm quite suited for rock music."
"At least when it comes to smashing people, I'm definitely a pro."
She said it jokingly, but she wasn't wrong; she did indeed have a good talent for combat.
An Meng laughed twice, supporting her slender waist, scanning her surroundings, pouting, and speaking with a hint of smugness.
"Actually, we rarely do things like hitting someone on the head with a guitar."
"To unlock the hearts of listeners with passionate emotions, to fill our music with our own ideas, and to create a fiery resonance, that is what we, well, most rock witches, strive for."
Jiang Kehan asked with a hint of curiosity, "What about the smaller portion?"
An Meng suppressed a laugh. She slapped her knees hard, her eyebrows arching naturally, and said in an exaggerated manner.
"A small number of rock witches prefer to use guitars and magic to smash open their fellow rockers' heads to see if it's water or gasoline inside."
"If it's water, it means the other person is an idiot, and you should laugh at them loudly."
"If it's gasoline, it means the other person is a volatile person, and you should laugh at them even louder."
Ah this.
Jiang Kehan opened her mouth slightly, clearly quite shocked.
"Doesn't that mean we should laugh loudly no matter what?"
An Meng nodded with a slightly mysterious air. She winked at Jiang Kehan, like a girl who possessed an entire starry sky, carefree and beautiful.
"The smarter rock witches usually choose to strike first, so they can laugh at the others."
"This is so rock and roll!" Jiang Kehan suddenly felt that stereotypes actually made a lot of sense.
At least the rock witch was even more unrestrained and... wilder than she had imagined.
"Haha, that's why rock and roll death battle royale is so popular." An Meng checked the time, took Jiang Kehan's hand, and led her with the flow of people towards the Sky Music Stage.
"Using music to win over fans, representing themselves as a domineering dragon, bullying those vulnerable peers, and offering the most unrestrained mockery."
"This best embodies the cruelty of rock and roll, and the love and hate it roars out at the world!"
It sounds surprisingly good... Jiang Kehan looked around at the witches who, like them, were gathering at the Sky Music Stage, and felt somewhat dazed.
The witches' expressions were surprisingly relaxed, not like they were about to participate in a battle royale, but rather like they were enjoying a spring outing. However, the fire in their eyes was no less intense.
The atmosphere was already getting heated. Even though no one was speaking, the sheer ferocity and roaring of each person was enough to stir one's heartstrings.
Saying "let a hundred flowers bloom" is too idealistic, while "let a hundred schools of thought contend" seems too rigid.
The use of chasing and killing is just right.
After Jiang Kehan was led to the interior of the Sky Music Hall, she discovered that a stage had already been set up. In the very center, a miniature world, as exquisite as a micro-sculpture, filled with mountains, rivers, and cities, was ready.
This is the arena for the Rock and Roll Death Battle Royale, and its interior size is almost comparable to the Great Ying of my previous life.
However, there are some special rules: if a witch uses more power than a medium witch, she will be forcibly kicked out to ensure the entertainment value of the competition.
As for why we don't pursue fairness?
What a joke! If we pursue fairness, how can the audience enjoy watching? How can the rock and roll witches fight with such enthusiasm and roar with joy?
You should know that the rock bands participating in Battle Royale, especially the most famous ones, have a lot of grudges against each other and are all waiting for revenge.
"Our main goal is to survive, so we must pay special attention to teams with a large fan base."
An Meng stared at the competition field and began to explain the upcoming tactical arrangements to Jiang Kehan, who was somewhat at a loss.
"Battle Royale is definitely not fair. The dragons that the band can control with their music are stronger than the upper limit of the witches, but they cannot crush the other witches."
"The most important thing about the dragon is actually mobility, to avoid the band being surrounded by a large number of enemy fans and being beaten to death by a hail of punches."
"After all, while the competition may limit the witches' ability to perform, it doesn't limit the number of fans each team can have."
Jiang Kehan fell into deep thought, and then asked An Meng a very important question.
"So how big is the gap between you and the fans of top rock bands?"
An Meng's eyes immediately lit up, and she laughed as she uttered some incredible words.
"The number of fans who will perform with a top rock band should exceed a thousand, since most witches prefer to sit in the audience."
"However... I didn't invite any fans this time, except for you."
Jiang Kehan looked completely bewildered, tilted her head slightly, and pointed at herself as she spoke.
"So, you and I are about to challenge a top-tier band with nearly a thousand witches—enough to form a small country in the era of societies?"
An Meng nodded with feigned seriousness, then said something that left Jiang Kehan even more speechless.
"Actually, there are three or four top bands, and the other bands should not be underestimated either."
"It's probably ten times worse than you described."
Jiang Kehan was almost laughing in anger. She glanced at An Meng and asked.
"Then what are you here for?"
An Meng replied matter-of-factly, "Of course we're here to steal fans!"
"You should know that inside a battle royale, in a life-or-death crisis, is the best time to show a rock musician's infectiousness."
"If I perform well, I can convert the fans of other bands into my own fans. It's definitely a great opportunity to gain support!"
Now I understand why there are so many feuds between you rock bands.
Jiang Kehan thought to herself, "This kind of blatant competition for fans is so outrageous, it would be strange if they didn't get their brains kicked in."
Moreover, there are quite a few rock-and-roll witches like An Meng, most of whom come alone or with two or three friends who will never betray them.
It's all about getting freebies and picking up the scraps, like a shameless rat in a battle royale game.
Although An Meng has been playing rock music for half a year, her actual number of supporters is probably less than 10,000, and her core fans who are willing to participate in the battle royale are probably less than 100.
Grab one if you can, grab a pair if you can, you're making a profit either way!
"Sister, you're so dirty," Jiang Kehan said, rubbing her temples as she looked at the smug An Meng.
"Sister, why play rock and roll or cult music if it's not dirty?" An Meng retorted naturally. "Just tell me if it's fun or not!"
"Ahem." Jiang Kehan looked at An Meng in front of her and suddenly felt as if she were seeing the same An Meng who was unrestrained and ruthless in the dueling arena. She couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I don't know if it's great or not, but I'm still very happy to be able to fight alongside you again, sister."
"Ready to steal the spotlight this time?"
Chapter 458 Let me show you how to be cool, let me take you to new heights
An Meng paused for a moment, looking at Jiang Kehan's radiant smile and confident tone, feeling a touch of nostalgia.
The girl before her was no longer the stubborn little witch of the past; she had undergone a true transformation, becoming a great witch far more powerful than the sun and moon.
But... the relationship between witches doesn't change because of the difference in strength; on the contrary, it becomes even more natural.
"Sister, I'm not trying to be mean, but what can you do all by yourself?"
An Meng puffed out her small chest confidently and said in a firm and resounding voice.
"In a rock music competition, of course you have to watch me!"
