âThanks for the Warrior Teacherâs splendid⦠performance, Iâm sorry, after listening too much, I even forget to breathe.â
An Hong said with a smile.
The audience burst into laughter immediately.
Indeed, it was unknown how the Warrior managed to finish singing the song under extremely infrequent breaths.
âDoes Warrior Teacher have anything else to say?â
An Hong turned towards the Warrior.
The Warrior adjusted his breath: âYou might be curious about why I chose the song âI Surrenderâ. Actually, there are four reasons. First, I wanted to pay tribute to Teacher Yang Zhongming. Second, I wanted to respond to the issue of my breathing through my rendition. Third, I thought it would be interesting to sing a song that one of my competitors had previously sung. And the fourth reasonâ¦â
The Warrior paused.
An Hong responded, âWhatâs the fourth?â
The Warrior smiled: âI think the title of the song is great.â
An Hong was taken aback and blurted out subconsciously, âI Surrenderâ¦â
Pff!
The audience finally understood the pun!
What a clever trick with ââI Surrenderââ! Heâs actually implying that the Prince of Lanling should âleaveâ!
Doesnât being eliminated mean leaving the show?
Thatâs ruthless!
He wants to leave the Prince of Lanling humiliated!
So much meaning packed into one song!
An Hongâs face twitched, he was holding back laughter againâ¦
On the screen.
Barrages of comments were streaming in:
âHats off to An Hong for holding back his laughter; these singers are quite the mischief makers!â
âFantastic! Hang the Prince of Lanling up and beat him!â
âThe Prince of Lanling is definitely going to be defeated this round!â
âDamn, is this even allowed?â
âWell done on the song âI Surrender'â.
ââ¦.â
An Hong coughed once, âThe Warrior Teacher has quite the sense of humor. But now itâs time to invite his opponent, Prince of Lanling, to perform!â
The Warrior bowed and stepped down from the stage.
Applause swept through the venue, but the audience members had strange expressions on their faces as they clapped.
How is the Prince of Lanling going to respond in this situation?
Heâs already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum!
Are you trying to say that he has an issue with his breathing?
Well, he just showed off his amazing breathing technique while singing your previous song âI Surrenderâ!
Are you convinced yet?
The audience was convinced!
The Warrior is indeed domineering!
Everyone loved this!
Even if the Prince of Lanling does well in this round, itâs going to be difficult to win back the hearts of the audience, because they will no longer vote based solely on the rendition of the song. The Warriorâs breathing response in this round alone is impressive enough!â
â¦
Backstage.
White Swan sounded somewhat upset: âThe Warriorâs approach was too harsh this round. Heâs winning over the audience with his breathing technique, but besides that, this song doesnât seem to have any obvious significance.â
âExactly!â
Pufferfish surprisingly echoed White Swan: âHeâs forcing the Prince of Lanling to compete with him on breathing techniques. If the Prince of Lanling does not respond, it seems as though heâs intentionally avoiding the fight.â
âItâs understandableâ¦â
Robot shook his head: âRegardless of what everyone might say, this is a strategic move in the competition. As soon as he brought the audienceâs attention to his breathing controversy, heâs already halfway to victory.â
Why?
Because heâs used his breathing technique as a self-affirming response!
Heâs already proved to everyone that his breathing technique is superior!
âThe result is still unclear.â
The Mermaid suddenly spoke up: âLetâs not forget who wrote the previous song for the Prince of Lanling. Maybe this round too â¦â
Um?
Everyone was momentarily stunned, then shook their heads. Even if Xian Yu helped the Prince of Lanling write the song, this round was about more than just the song.
â¦
Compared to the dissatisfaction of the first team, the third team was beyond excited at this moment!
âDomineering!â
âThatâs the Warrior for you!â
âIt was amazing to listen to this round!â
âThis is the Warriorâs style, you question any part of me, I will use that part to prove myself!â
âPowerful!â
The third teamâs singers explained to the camera, afraid of offending the audience, âWe donât mean to criticize the Prince of Lanling. We just hope that he refrains from making rash statements in the future after all â¦â
They couldnât go on.
The singers of the third team couldnât help but burst into laughter. Some were bent over laughing, some laughed while kicking their legs on the sofa, some were smacking their thighs hard⦠The joy radiating from them was infectious even through the screen.
â¦
The camera switched to Mu Shi.
Mu Shi seemed to be happy about something and made a heart shape towards the camera.
The person next to him could not help but laugh and gently patted Mu Shiâs shoulder.
Apparentlyâ¦
Everyone was thinking about the âbreathingâ joke. The Warriorâs counterattack was too absolute!
â¦
Among various reactionsâ¦
The Prince of Lanling took the stage.
He was greeted with the audienceâs mixed gaze and, of course, a variety of bullet screen comments.
How is he going to compete?
Does he even need to sing now?
An Hong turned to Lin Yuan: âDo you have anything to say, Prince of Lanling?â
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Some audience members sighed.
He didnât even want to say a word.
For not being his usual sharp-tongued self, itâs quite clear that the Prince of Lanling must be feeling confused right now.
Comments began popping up:
âWhy arenât you criticizing his breathing technique now?â
âCan you do this kind of breathing?â
âMu Shi: Revenge at last!â
âMu Shi: My breathing might indeed have a problem, but do you also think that the Warriorâs breathing is problematic?â
However, there were comments that defended the Prince:
âWhy are some singerâs fans constantly attacking the Prince of Lanling?â
âThis round, besides the Warriorâs breathing, what else did he bring to the table?â
âIs song performance all about breathing?â
âNot good enough.â
ââ¦â
There were people still supporting the Prince of Lanling.
Butâ¦
Even those who support the Prince of Lanling can no longer criticize the Warriorâs breathing.
That breathtaking technique had shocked too many people!
â¦
Actually, Lin Yuanâs thoughts were quite straightforward.
He just felt that there was no need for any unnecessary talking before singing.
