After hearing Wang Yi's words, Chantelle quickly turned on her computer and searched for Nine Treasures Band's "Praise of the Tes River."
As soon as the bass kicked in, her hand began swaying along with the rhythm. Her long, fair legs and her head soon followed, moving involuntarily with the music.
Just listening to the intro was enough to make anyone feel instantly fired up.
The bass sounded like steel girders.
As the music gradually built,
the soul-pounding drums mingled with the sound of the morin khuur, an instrument she had almost never heard before. Together, they formed a stirring, exhilarating piece that began to reverberate throughout the room.
The more she listened, the more hooked she became. The more it went on, the more fired up she felt.
As she listened, she could almost see armies charging toward the enemy lines in an age of cold weapons.
The shrill clash of weapons, the neighing of warhorses, the warriors' roars, and the surging, roaring river—all of it intertwined.
For a moment, she felt as though she had arrived on an ancient battlefield beside a great river in the desert.
By the time the song ended, she was drenched in sweat, as if she had just lived through a war.
An ordinary listener might not be affected as strongly, but someone like her, who was extremely sensitive to music, could hardly help being swept into the song.
She drank a large glass of water, then hit replay.
As the rainlike drumbeats rang out again and pounded at her soul, she once more relived the scene from before.
Then she played it again.
After listening to it three times in a row, she said in disbelief, "I can't believe there's a war song that strikes straight at your soul."
