In the live stream, Leng Quanâs voice rang out loud: âSomeone said the Prince of Lanling is the winner of the first episode after all. Thatâs true, he indeed won the first round, but you need to understand that both the Swan and the Robot were just testing the waters in the first episode. They didnât perform at their absolute best as the Kings and Queens of Singing wouldnât easily reveal their trump cards. Prince of Lanling, however, used his trump card right off at the first round, and that was his dual voice tone. It sounded impressive the first time, but if he employs the same strategy in the second round, neither the judges nor the jury would give him as high a score as he got in the first round.â
With that said,
Leng Quan sneered:
âHowever, the audience seems to like this tactic quite a bit; therefore, itâs plausible for Prince of Lanling to secure third place with the audienceâs support. That is, assuming Piggy Qiqi doesnât make a big splash in the second round. If Piggy Qiqi does step up her game, and assuming none of the other singers make mistakes, Prince of Lanling might be forced into the fourth position. And if a wildcard contestant happens to be exceptional, Prince of Lanling might fall further behind to the fifth place and become a contestant on standbyâ¦â
Swish swish swish.
The barrage was plentiful.
The vast majority agreed with Leng Quanâs statement. In fact, not only did Leng Quan think so, but there has also been a shift in the direction of public opinion towards Prince of Lanling over the last few days. According to these analyses, aside from his ability to sing in two different tones, Prince of Lanling doesnât have other advantages!
And moreoverâ¦
The advantage of having two voice tones will inevitably diminish as the competition progresses, because he wonât be able to rely on that one trick to win the competition forever!
âHeh heh.â
Leng Quan sneered, shaking his head. âPrince of Lanlingâs true colors will be exposed in the second round, and as the competition goes on, his true form will gradually come to light. For those who donât believe me, just wait and see. As for why I seem to belittle Prince of Lanling so much in the barrage, I apologize. Iâm not belittling him, Iâm merely stating facts. But I do admit that I donât like him as Iâm a hardcore fan of Teacher Yuan Xi. Iâm truly appalled by his comments about Teacher Yuan Xi.â
âTeacher Prince of Lanling.â
Tongtongâs face was somewhat grim: âTurn off the live stream, donât let it affect your mood for the competition. Leng Quan is merely making predictions, and heâs often inaccurateâ¦â
âHmm.â
Prince of Lanling agreed.
The expression behind the mask was unreadable, but Tongtong felt Prince of Lanling must have been angry, and immediately treaded lightly. The tension in the room desperately intensified, as if buffeted by a growing cold wind.
However, Tongtong had misunderstood.
Lin Yuan wasnât that angry.
If Lin Yuan were really angry, he wouldâve turned around and picked a winning song to slap back immediately. But he didnât want to change his original plan over something like this, as that would disrespect his choice of work.
âTeacher Prince of Lanling.â
A staff member from the production company came knocking at the door with a lottery box, which somewhat eased the tension in the room.
Tongtong quickly said, âIâm unlucky in draw. I ended up right behind Teacher Swan last time. How about you draw the lottery this time, Teacher Prince of Lanling?â
âAlright.â
Lin Yuan turned off the live stream and stood up to draw the lot.
The number six ball.
It was Lin Yuanâs turn to perform as the sixth artist today.
Tongtong sighed in relief. The live stream was finally off. Leng Quanâs words were too harsh. It seemed that Prince of Lanling had offended quite a few people with his critique of Teacher Yuan Xi in the first episodeâ¦
Meanwhile,
The stage up front.
Even though the curtain has not yet been opened, the audience in front of the stage has filled every seat, and an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation hangs in the air over the audience.
The bright red curtain of the stage was suddenly drawn!
Shooo!
Amid the background music of the show, host An Hong entered the stage.
After the opening remarks.
Host An Hong smiled and said, âAfter the broadcast of the first episode, our show has received an unprecedented response, which has drawn even more attention to our second episode. I believe this is both pressure and motivation for our singers. We look forward to the singers giving more brilliant performances today. Now letâs invite our first performer and also the first wildcard challenger of our show; the name of the singer is Pufferfishâ¦â
Pufferfish?
Wildcard challenger?
The audience couldnât help but feel curious.
In the spotlight of the stage, wildcard challenger Pufferfish made her appearance.
With her slender waist, dress designed like a gown, and a mask with a hint of playfulness, she was very likely a female singer.
When Pufferfish began to sing, the audience was immediately electrified!
Such intense firepower!
The act kicked off with a high note!
A very explosive female voice!
The singers backstage also looked up at the high-definition TV on the wall to assess the strength of this wildcard contestant.
âNot bad,â murmured Swan.
Robot nodded: âSuch a singing skill is top-tier.â
Piggy Qiqi stood up nervously: âA strong opponent has shown up! Her singing style is similar to mine, she must be a singer I knowâ¦â
The Wanderer sighed: âLooks like Iâm out of luck today.â
ââ¦â
Prince of Lanling didnât utter a word.
Tongtong tried to keep the atmosphere lively: âThe new singer is pretty good, huh? Does her voice sound a bit like Zhao Ying Ge?â
âHmm.â
Prince of Lanling nodded in agreement: âThere are indeed some similarities. Zhao Ying Ge tends to show off her skills too much. High notes and explosive power are her strengths, but she has been relying too heavily on these in recent years. However, on this stage, a contestant like her is quite good since she knows how to fully utilize her strengths during the competition.â
Lin Yuan also suspected that Pufferfish was Zhao Ying Ge.
Zhao Ying Ge is a singer from Starlight and has collaborated with Lin Yuan before, so he had a familiarity with her voice.
However, there was something a little different about the voice of Pufferfish which was why Lin Yuan couldnât confirm.
Huh?
After he finished speaking, Lin Yuan suddenly noticed an unnerving silence.
It was only when he looked up did he realize that the cameraman was staring blankly at him.
The look in Tongtongâs eyes was even more desperateâ
Tongtong was utterly desperate!
She couldnât believe that after criticizing Yuan Xi in the previous episode, Prince of Lanling had now fired shots at the popular female singer Zhao Ying Ge!
Dude!
Can you be a bit more low-key?
How many more big-shot celebrities are you planning to offend?
After all, Zhao Ying Ge was once a champion of âBloomâ and her career has been going great ever since!
She might not be as successful as the Queen of Singing Yuan Xi, but as a top-tier singer now, she possesses significant popularity and could be easily reckoned as a big name!
Did you watch the live stream earlier for nothing?
All because of that one critique you gave on Yuan Xi in the first episode, Leng Quan has been mocking you relentlessly. You heard all of it during the live stream.
He has been belittling you, hasnât he?
If you continue to criticize more big names like Zhao Ying Ge, whatâs going to happen?
Once the episode is aired, wonât Zhao Ying Geâs fans go berserk at you?
If this part isnât cut out, Tongtong could almost imagine what Zhao Ying Geâs fans would do after this episode airsâ¦
One simply cannot offend these celebrities.
