Chapter 485: Chapter 461: The Wind Has Changed_1
In the live stream, Leng Quan’s voice rang out loud: “Someone said the Prince of Lanling is the winner of the first episode after all. That’s 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 didn’t perform at their absolute best as the Kings and Queens of Singing wouldn’t 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.”
With that said,
Leng Quan sneered:
“However, the audience seems to like this tactic quite a bit; therefore, it’s plausible for Prince of Lanling to secure third place with the audience’s support. That is, assuming Piggy Qiqi doesn’t 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 standby…”
Swish swish swish.
The barrage was plentiful.
The vast majority agreed with Leng Quan’s 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 doesn’t have other advantages!
And moreover…
The advantage of having two voice tones will inevitably diminish as the competition progresses, because he won’t be able to rely on that one trick to win the competition forever!
“Heh heh.”
Leng Quan sneered, shaking his head. “Prince of Lanling’s 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 don’t believe me, just wait and see. As for why I seem to belittle Prince of Lanling so much in the barrage, I apologize. I’m not belittling him, I’m merely stating facts. But I do admit that I don’t like him as I’m a hardcore fan of Teacher Yuan Xi. I’m truly appalled by his comments about Teacher Yuan Xi.”
“Teacher Prince of Lanling.”
Tongtong’s face was somewhat grim: “Turn off the live stream, don’t let it affect your mood for the competition. Leng Quan is merely making predictions, and he’s often inaccurate…”

“Hmm.”
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 wasn’t that angry.
If Lin Yuan were really angry, he would’ve turned around and picked a winning song to slap back immediately. But he didn’t want to change his original plan over something like this, as that would disrespect his choice of work.
“Teacher Prince of Lanling.”
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, “I’m unlucky in draw. I ended up right behind Teacher Swan last time. How about you draw the lottery this time, Teacher Prince of Lanling?”
“Alright.”
Lin Yuan turned off the live stream and stood up to draw the lot.
The number six ball.
It was Lin Yuan’s turn to perform as the sixth artist today.
Tongtong sighed in relief. The live stream was finally off. Leng Quan’s 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 episode…
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, “After 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 let’s invite our first performer and also the first wildcard challenger of our show; the name of the singer is Pufferfish…”
Pufferfish?
Wildcard challenger?
The audience couldn’t 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.
“Not bad,” murmured Swan.
Robot nodded: “Such a singing skill is top-tier.”
Piggy Qiqi stood up nervously: “A strong opponent has shown up! Her singing style is similar to mine, she must be a singer I know…”
The Wanderer sighed: “Looks like I’m out of luck today.”
“…”
Prince of Lanling didn’t utter a word.
Tongtong tried to keep the atmosphere lively: “The new singer is pretty good, huh? Does her voice sound a bit like Zhao Ying Ge?”
“Hmm.”
Prince of Lanling nodded in agreement: “There 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.”
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 couldn’t 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 Tongtong’s eyes was even more desperate—
Tongtong was utterly desperate!
She couldn’t 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 “Bloom” 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, hasn’t he?
If you continue to criticize more big names like Zhao Ying Ge, what’s going to happen?
Once the episode is aired, won’t Zhao Ying Ge’s fans go berserk at you?
If this part isn’t cut out, Tongtong could almost imagine what Zhao Ying Ge’s fans would do after this episode airs…
One simply cannot offend these celebrities.
