Yan Yuanze immediately looked up, his palms sweaty with nervousness.
He must… he must surpass Xu Xiyun!
If his votes fell below 300, he would be facing elimination.
He had to advance.
The big screen flickered for a moment.
The rankings jumped out.
No.l Xie Yu 892 votes
No.2 Xu Xiyun 300 votes
No.3 Shi Yu 297 votes
No.7 Yan Yuanze 266 votes
As the votes and rankings appeared, Yan Yuanze felt a chill run down his spine, as if all the energy had been sucked out of him in an instant. If he weren’t on stage, he would have collapsed by now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was actually… actually in seventh place!
He was the center of their group, with most of the highlights focused on him. How could he not even surpass the other members of Xie Yu’s group?
Xie Yu also glanced at the vote count, pausing for a moment before looking at a delighted Xu Xiyun. “If we’re talking about good luck, it has to be you.”
Just barely meeting the pass mark set by Si Fuqing, Xu Xiyun couldn’t contain his excitement. “Huh? What did you say, Brother Xie?”
Xie Yu turned his head away, pressing his brow, “Never mind.”
Down in the audience, gasps and murmurs filled the air.
“All of Xie Yu’s group are in the top six?
“I remember Xu Xiyun and Shi Yu were both in Class F twice, right? They didn’t have a dance background either, yet they’ve improved so much after the first performance?”
“Did they cheat or something? I can’t believe it’s just because Si Fuqing taught them for two weeks.”
“Speaking of which, there were more than six people in Si Fuqing’s class, like over twenty, but many dropped out. I wonder if they regret it now.” Yan Yuanze was indeed filled with regret.
Watching the ecstatic Xu Xiyun, his heart flowed with a river of remorse.
Would today’s performance have been different if he hadn’t dropped out of Si Fuqing’s class?
But Yan Yuanze Imew that pondering these thoughts now was utterly pointless.
He clenched his fists, having already made up his mind.
As long as he could advance today, even if he was in the fifty-fifth place, he would definitely return to Si Fuqing’s class.
But at the same time, Yan Yuanze was also filled with resentment.
If Si Fuqing had such talent, what had she been hiding all this time?
“Alright, congratulations to Xie Yu’s group for securing the victory in this round of competition!” the host announced. “Let’s hear it for our first ‘Likes
King’ of the day!”
The crowd erupted.
“Xie Yu! Xie Yu!”
“Great, Xie Yu, you can now sit on your throne.” The host handed over the microphone. “Do you have anything to say?
“Before we started today, Teacher Si said that if I step down from the ‘Likes King’ position, she’d show me the harsh reality of life. So—I‘ Xie Yu looked carefree, a sly smile crossing his lips, “I’m the first Likes King, and also the last.”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. Very good.
That’s her kind of audacity.
The camera shifted back to the judges’ panel, Si Fuqing’s captivating fox-like eyes displayed on the big screen.
[Oh no, Xie Yu must have been led astray by Teacher Si, so arrogant! But I like it!]
[Isn’t Xie Yu getting ahead of himself? Lu Yan hasn’t performed yet, and neither have the other two ‘Center’ candidates.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[Being too arrogant isn’t good, you know. You might get slapped in the face later.]
[Ah, speaking of Lu Yan, I can’t wait to see how they perform ‘Mountain Ghost Ballard’.]
The group duels continued round by round.
But because Xie Yu’s group was the first to perform, the following two groups were utterly overshadowed.
“Now we’re onto the fourth round,” said the host, holding the microphone.
“First up is Lu Yan’s group, and their song is ‘Mountain Ghost Ballard.”‘
“The same song Teacher Si sang, seems like she wants to encourage our trainees. Let’s hope Lu Yan’s group can bring us a different kind of brilliance!”
Lu Yan and his team took the stage, dressed in modified Xia clothes that evoked a classical charm.
Lu Yan’s high notes weren’t bad; the operatic sections of the climax were well-executed.
Their group’s dance was choreographed by a professional dance teacher hired by Tianle Media.
If Si Fuqing hadn’t performed today, Lu Yan would indeed have been a contender for the ‘Likes King’ against Xie Yu.
Unfortunately, Si Fuqing’s original rendition of ‘Mountain Ghost Ballard’ had already raised the fans’ expectations.
Lu Yan’s operatic style simply couldn’t measure up.
[I have to say, this is disappointing.]
[You’re performing a cover that’s simpler than the original, and yet this is the level of your stage presence?]
[To be honest, it’s clear that Lu Yan has studied opera and his operatic singing is quite accurate.. But what’s the point if your stage presence is so weak? I can’t even remember your voice or face after the performance!]
