Ambition for the piano

I got up early and stretched my body. It seemed to be a little early. I couldn't help but feel lucky for the Japanese students because their class time was 8:30 in the morning, and now I got up at 6:00 in the morning.

I know that Aoi Komuro wakes up at 6:50 in the morning every day. After preparing breakfast at 7:20, she should be able to finish eating before 8:00. Because she is an elementary school teacher, she usually leaves early to avoid being late.

I woke up early now, but training my body wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time. Moreover, I couldn't be impatient. With my body's current fragility, if I got injured from excessive training, it would be a matter of a generation. Moreover, although it felt like it had only been an instant since my previous life, I knew in my heart that it had been a long time. In the past, my mind was immersed in the sound of the piano and martial arts every day. Now that I was free, I had an urgent urge to play the piano.

Although the training was not too intense, playing the piano with special breathing to vibrate the acupoints of the whole body was not an exception. In his previous life, the disciples he took in were generally not too old, and the oldest was only twelve years old. Reality had also proved that learning the piano with special breathing to resonate the acupoints of the whole body, the earlier the better. It would also be more sufficient to excavate the potential of the body and strengthen the physique.

However, the ideal was full, but the reality was too skinny. There was one thing that couldn't be helped. He was too young, which naturally meant that he was even more childish, and his control was even worse. The youngest disciple I taught started at the age of five, but it took me three years for him to complete a piano piece and perfectly coordinate his breathing with the acupoints in his body. Even if he played the piano without any mistakes, there were no mistakes in his breathing. However, the natural relaxation of the body was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time. If the body could not relax and the mind was too tense, the resonance of the acupoints in the whole body could only be achieved in the air.

"Therefore, even if the disciples I took in later started learning at an even younger age, I only taught them some music knowledge at the beginning. Playing the piano was just playing. The real coordination of breathing only began after the age of ten. Even so, among my twelve disciples, the worst could control the muscles of the entire body before the age of thirteen. When they were twenty, they could learn at least 102 resonances. According to the standards of martial artists, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were martial arts masters.

I couldn't calm down my excitement. I was only five years old now, and my body was like a piece of unpolished jade that needed to be carved out. To me, there was almost no restriction other than my body. When I played the piano, I had to let my breathing match it. That had long become an instinct that was engraved in my soul. The habit that I had formed over the past 80 years without stopping day after day was no different from an innate instinct. I firmly believed in this.

Actually, in my previous life, it wasn't that I hadn't tried other musical instruments. Unfortunately, for some reason, other musical instruments other than the piano were completely unable to enter that wonderful realm. Not only that, if it was a lousy piano, even if it had any effect, it would be very insignificant. In fact, due to the difference in pitch, it would even have some negative effects. In my previous life, I actually didn't want to be so famous. As a martial artist... I also wanted to peacefully train and increase my strength, breaking through one obstacle after another and climbing to the peak of martial arts. However, I had no choice. The price of a good piano was simply beyond my imagination.

Take the piano I owned in my previous life as an example. That piano was custom-made for me, and it was priced at 18 million yuan. Moreover, the currency was not RMB but Euros. If converted to RMB, it would be almost 200 million yuan. Although this was also due to the soaring prices in 2025, the price was still beyond imagination.

Even so, don't think it's too expensive. If I didn't get the title of global piano master, no matter how rich or powerful you are, you wouldn't be able to get all the piano masters in the factory to spend three years to make this piano for you. In fact, 18 million euros is only a half-sale, half-free price.

So many piano masters had collectively created more than just a piano. It was a wish, a wish to pursue perfection and reach the pinnacle of perfection. It was an extremely pious prayer for music. It was also after obtaining that piano named "Perfect Sound" that my strength soared. In just two years, I had reached the end of my body's potential. I clearly remembered that I was 45 years old when I received the title of master. And when his strength reached its peak, he was exactly fifty years old.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel disheartened. Not to mention that I didn't have a piano yet, even if I did, it would be better not to have one if it was just a cheap and common one. Did I still have to walk the path of fame like in my previous life? However, after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no other way. If he wanted to get a perfect piano like in his previous life, money was no longer the only obstacle to his goal. How to get so many piano masters to agree to spend so much time and energy on making pianos for him was the most important.

The same piano would sound different when played by different people. As piano masters, money could no longer make them yield. It was the tragedy of a piano to make a good piano but not make the sound it should have. It was also the tragedy of a piano master. It was not that masters like them did not want to create a perfect piano. They pursued perfection and perfection, but the key was that if there was no player, no one who could match the piano and make her sound soul-shaking, it would be better not to make it. In the eyes of a master craftsman, every piano that was carefully made was alive, but this kind of sound could not be made by any random person. If she could not make her own sound, her life would decline in sadness.

I could understand this feeling. So, in order to improve my strength and get a piano that I wanted, I had no choice but to walk the path of my previous life again. Becoming a celebrity was also something that I had no choice. After all, the pursuit of this life was to surpass the martial arts level of my previous life. Of course, a good partner was a must. That would allow me to achieve twice the result with half the effort and have the greatest possibility of breaking through that barrier in the shortest time.

Since he couldn't do anything right now, he might as well revise his piano music and do some errands to pass the time.

The so-called revision of piano music was just recalling the melody in his heart. With the help of breathing, it formed a conditioned reflex ability for the body. This method should not be underestimated. It had a very good effect on mastering the rhythm of breathing and piano. Although he could not play the piano and vibrate the acupoints of the whole body through the resonance of the sound, this imaginary method was not useless. Although the effect was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, it was more than a hundred times weaker than the actual performance. However, it was safe and stable. As long as the correct method was mastered, the effect would be produced. Moreover, if one was skilled enough, one could imagine playing a piano piece five times, ten times, or even dozens of times at normal times. Even if one was calm, one had to have a matching breathing frequency and depth. Even in his previous life, My maximum ability was to play this tempo ten times faster. In other words, this method of playing the piano through wishful thinking could achieve about one-tenth of the effect of playing the piano normally. Don't underestimate this one-tenth. You have to know that a person can't play non-stop all day long. There are always things to do. Even if you play for too long, you will be exhausted. Rest time is still necessary. One-tenth doesn't seem to be eye-catching. However, it would be a huge improvement if he accumulated it over time.

Of course, with my current weak body's endurance, it was unknown whether I could withstand normal breathing adjustments. It was not good to be too ambitious.

The so-called piano playing with breathing did not mean that one had to take a breath for every syllable. If that was the case, no one in the world would be able to withstand it. The so-called coordination was divided according to the intensity of the tune. When it was intense, the breathing would be faster, and when it was calm, it would be slower. Of course, this was only a general statement. If it was really divided carefully, even if it was just the same tune, there would be no less than a few or even more than a dozen different breathing coordination methods. As for which method to choose, it depended on what kind of frequency and depth of breathing you could endure. Generally speaking, it depended on your own strength. Of course, the greater the limit you could endure, the more benefits you would obtain.

Even though it was a cultivation method that I had created myself, other than the ones that I had already verified, there were still many breathing methods that only existed in theory. Those breathing methods could only be attempted after my strength had truly broken through. In my previous life, I didn't have such an opportunity, but in this life, I hoped to personally verify those unique breathing methods and see if they were really feasible.

After I started experimenting, I couldn't help but sigh helplessly. It really wasn't easy. It was just a very simple canon, and it was only the most basic breathing method. I quickly realized the difficulties. I had forgotten that I was still a child. Whether it was my physical disadvantage or the fact that my body's organs had not fully developed, it made my breathing extremely rapid. I was unable to completely match my breathing frequency because my lung capacity was too small. Many places that required long breaths could not be achieved. Even if I consciously changed it, it was not a task that could be completed in a short period of time. Thus, when Aoi Komuro came over at 7:30 am to call me over for dinner, I had only modified a tenth of a Canon song. I had only been able to change my breathing method with 80 years of experience in my previous life. If it were someone else, it would not just be a matter of changing my breathing method. In serious cases, it would even cause unavoidable harm to the person.

A person's normal breathing was to meet the needs of their own oxygen supply. Therefore, when strenuous exercise consumed a large amount of oxygen in the body, they needed to increase the breathing frequency to increase the oxygen intake. This was the most instinctive reaction of a living body. However, what I needed to change now was the frequency and depth of my breathing, which was the foundation of life and death. If I didn't do it well, forget about strengthening my body and cultivating martial arts, forcefully changing my breathing method would cause the development of internal organs to be deformed. That could be a fatal thing. Therefore, finding a breathing method that my fragile body could adapt to had become a top priority. That was more urgent than finding a top-grade piano.
