Chapter 526: 502
Live broadcasting begins!
Anhong walks onto the stage, and with a spirited opening speech, he introduces the audience to the all-new lineup of judges:
“Teacher Yin Dong!”
“Teacher Zheng Jing!”
“Teacher Ye Zhiqiu!”
“Teacher Yang Zhongming!”
As the four judges waved at the camera, the emotions of the live audience and those watching the broadcast were instantly ignited—
“Holy crap!”
“Four maestros!”
“Who’s next!”
“The lineup of judges is unprecedented, isn’t it? There has never been a show that could invite four maestros to be judges. They’ve brought over all the maestros from the four battle team’s judges’ panel!”
“…”
Yang Zhongming is the chief judge of the first battle team.

Zheng Jing is the chief judge of the second battle team.
Yin Dong is of the third battle team.
Ye Zhiqiu is of the fourth battle team.
Any of the four alone could uphold the highest judging standard for a show, and yet the live broadcast has gathered all four maestros together!
Meanwhile
The audience also found that the other judges from the previous show, like Wu Long, were sitting on the jury’s side now.
The lineup is enormous and unprecedented!
At this point, the camera switches.
The backstage scene appears in front of the audience.
Seeing that everyone from the third battle team wanted to compete against the Prince of Lanling, everyone was thrilled.
This grudge score is off the charts.
However, the audience nearly jumped up at the sight of Prince Lanling drawing Samurai—
“Oh my God!”
“Prince Lanling is done for!”
“How did he run into Samurai from the beginning?”
“The Robot team is fierce too, encountering an elf. This is a battle of the King and Queen of Singing!”
“Superb!”
“Ha, the third team wants Samurai to take down Prince Lanling.”
“Today, Prince Lanling will have to sing ‘Bracing the Chill’ again.”
“Hilarious, Tongtong is forever unlucky!”
“I don’t get it. Prince Lanling has taken first place twice, and Samurai has also taken first place twice. Why does it seem like you guys think Prince Lanling will definitely lose?”
“The trump card! The King of Singing, Samurai, hasn’t exploded yet!”
“Prince Lanling isn’t the King of Singing, he might have already used all his strength in previous competitions and doesn’t have any left now.”
“I see.”
“In the previous competitions, the Kings and Queens of Singing just had to make sure they weren’t eliminated. This is when they’ll bare their fangs. If you don’t believe me, just keep watching.”
“…”
Amidst the barrage of comments
And the roaring cheers of the audience
Anhong finally introduces the first pair of contestants.
Pufferfish from the first battle team vs Rabbit from the third battle team.
Rabbit sings first.
The moment she started singing, the audience was stunned:
She’s strong!
She’s really strong!
Rabbit didn’t stand out during the qualifying period, but today, Rabbit’s performance greatly surpasses her previous ones!
“Holy crap!”
“They’ve been hiding their true abilities all along?”
“Is this the breakout since it’s a direct clash now?”
“What about Pufferfish?”
The audience finally felt the cruelty of the team competition!
Rabbit, who never drew much attention before, had exploded all her qualities. If she sang like this before, she might have had a chance to win first place!
Before long.
Pufferfish takes the stage.
The result? The audience gets even more excited when Pufferfish starts singing!
As expected!
Pufferfish was also hiding her true strength!
She hadn’t shown her full potential before!
In this round, Pufferfish actually sang Xian Yu’s “White Rose”. Her fluent Qi language made the audience start to doubt whether Pufferfish was really Zhao Ying Ge, or an A-list singer from Qi Continent…
It’s so good!
A perfect performance!
In the midst of the audience’s excitement.
Pufferfish scored 590 votes, while Rabbit got 410 votes.
Because it’s a live broadcast, the results are announced right after the paired singers finished their performances.
There are seven hundred audience members today.
Fifty general judges.
And four judges.
Each audience member has one vote, each general judge has two votes, and each judge has fifty votes, so the total number of votes for each round is one thousand.
Whichever singer gets over five hundred votes can securely win against their opponent.
“Hahaha, the one who moves first always lose!”
“Indeed, the one who moves first always lose!”
“Going second is the King’s Path!”
“Team competitions are still the most exciting!”
“There’s no need for small talk, one move determines the winner!”
“…”
The barrage of comments jokingly ridicules.
Rabbit sings first, and Rabbit loses. Isn’t this just proof of the truth— “The one who moves first always lose”?
“Everyone.”
Host Anhong suddenly laughed: “The two contestants to compete next are Teacher Samurai from the third battle team and Teacher Prince of Lanling from the first battle team…”
“Here comes the show!”
“The biggest showdown of today is about to start, Prince Lanling vs Samurai!”
“A match of rights and wrongs, a match of father and son!”
“I’m just waiting for Prince Lanling!”
“This match with Prince Lanling is my most anticipated!”
“Ahhh, is Prince Lanling going to reveal his identity?”
“The cool moonlight turns into a river for you…”
“Drawing Samurai is the death ticket!”
“Once Prince Lanling reveals his identity, we, the fans of Yuan Xi, are ready to explode!”
“Fei Yang’s army is assembling!”
“Mu Shi’s army is ready to sail!”
“Even though the result is without suspense, I’m extremely looking forward to it!”
“…”
The main event is finally here!
Whether it’s the live audience or the netizens watching the screen, everyone’s feelings have been ignited. They’re extremely curious to watch this showdown!
In terms of anticipation, the audience’s desire for this match even surpasses the battle of the King and Queen of Singing!
Because this match is all about settling scores!-
Samurai had previously declared war on Prince Lanling!
The big screen begins to rotate the order of appearance.
Finally locked in, Samurai sings first.
Suddenly, a comment joked:
“Does the one who moves first always lose?”
Someone followed: “In the face of absolute strength, all kinds of theories are useless!”
“This round, the one who moves second will definitely lose.”
“Prince Lanling previously criticized Samurai for not breathing properly, while also stepping on Mu Shi. Today, retribution is coming.”
“Samurai: Heard that I can’t breathe properly? Then why did you lose?”
“Samurai: Your breathing isn’t that great either.”
“Samurai: The victor is king, it’s my turn to critique your performance, isn’t it?”
“…”
The barrage comments were all playing tricks.
And Samurai has already taken to center stage.
He picked up the microphone and smiled, “I’ve drawn the opponent I’ve most wanted to draw. Before my performance, I have a thing to say to my opponent…”
Anhong laughed, “Oh, a declaration of war?”
Samurai brought the microphone closer to his mouth, ” Prince of Lanling has said more than once that I have a breathing problem. Why not listen to the next song and see what my breathing is like.”
Boom!
The venue was in uproar!
The tension was palpable!
Everyone was in high spirits!
He is provoking Prince of Lanling!
Samurai gave a small wave of his hand and the venue gradually quieted down. The aura around Samurai began to rise. It was the aura of a King of Singing….
At this moment
The camera cut to backstage.
The members of the first team looked towards Prince of Lanling.
Following that,
The camera turned to an area that few people paid attention to.
Everyone was stunned to find that the singers who had been unveiled before were all here. Even Mu Shi, who had previously been criticized by Prince of Lanling for his breathing problem, was present!
“Hahahahaha!”
“The program team knows how to have fun!”
“The moment Samurai mentioned the breathing issue, the camera cut to Mu Shi!”
“Creating a drama!”
“This is Samurai trying to make a face-slapping comeback!”
“Mu Shi: Brother, hurry up and teach Prince of Lanling how to breathe!”
“Mu Shi: Avenge my brother!”
“…”
The online netizens had already started to have fun.
They hadn’t come across such an entertaining program team before, the program effects were simply at max level, and the singers were also cooperating one after another!
Whoosh.
The lights dimmed at that moment.
Samurai’s performance began!
As soon as he started singing, the audience gasped in surprise–
It’s “Leaving!”
“Leaving” by Yang Zhongming!
If everyone’s memory serves them right, this song was also sung by Prince of Lanling previously and it’s precisely this song that ended up offending Fei Yang!
Holy crap!
This Samurai!
He intends to go all out in this face-off!
Is he planning to defeat Prince of Lanling with the song Prince of Lanling sang?
But what shocked everyone the most was!
This song was completely rearranged by Samurai!
The rearranged version of “Leaving” had a very fast tempo and its key was increased. In the middle, there was even a rap segment. Very quickly, someone discovered the most terrifying part–
“Can you hear it? He doesn’t seem to be breathing much!”
“You can tell he’s breathing a little, but the number of times he does it is very small!”
“My God!”
“Does he not need to breathe?”
“Is this the wrath of a King of Singing?”
“He indeed does not breathe much, what kind of lung capacity is this, especially for this arranged song!”
“His breathing control is off the charts!”
“Prince of Lanling is really at a disadvantage this time!”
“Both ‘Leaving’ and the breathing technique, he is not going to stop until he makes a fool of Prince of Lanling…”
“Hahaha, even Prince of Lanling has these days!”
“He has met his match!”
“…”
There were shocks!
There were gasps!
There were people delighting in his misfortune!
Even without professional music knowledge, the audience could hear that very little breathing was done during Samurai’s song!
Normally, people would have to breathe while singing, especially when singing songs that need a lot of breath support. But during Samurai’s song, there was hardly any breathing, it was simply terrifying to witness his incredible lung capacity!
…
Backstage.
The robot was stunned, ” His lung volume is incredible.”
Swan nodded, “This kind of breathing control, without a strong foundation, even a few of the Kings and Queens of singing may not be able to do it.”
The robot laughed, “Can you do it?”
Swan calmly replied, “If it were me on that stage , he would undoubtedly lose in terms of breath control.”
The meaning behind her words was clear.
She could do it!
But…what about Prince of Lanling?
The Robot shook his head.
…
Judge’s seat.
Yin Dong chuckled, “Samurai is really fussing over the breathing issue.”
Ye Zhiqiu was a little helpless, “He’s too absorbed in one thing. In order to show off his breathing ability, he sacrificed other aspects of the performance.”
Zheng Jing smiled faintly, “I think it’s pretty good. Singers should be using their songs to answer questions. It’s quite interesting.”
Yang Zhongming squinted his eyes and said in a soft voice, “Although he’s completely changed my song, his showcase of lung volume and breath control are indeed commendable. He’s made his point in this round, but it would have been better if he hadn’t forced some of the notes.”
…
A few minutes later.
Samurai finished his song.
He was panting heavily. Clearly, he had exerted a lot of effort to keep from breathing during the song, but the audience’s shouts made him realize:
It was worth it!
His breathing technique!
Everyone noticed it!
The waves of cheers from the audience were growing stronger and stronger, and countless people were shouting:
“Samurai!”
“Samurai!”
“Samurai!”
Samurai’s eyes flashed with strong confidence. Prince of Lanling, do you still dare to say I have a breathing problem?
…
No one noticed.
In the waiting area, Prince of Lanling suddenly said to Tongtong, “I’ve decided on the next song…”
“?”
Tongtong was dumbfounded, “You’re deciding now?”
Prince of Lanling said, “Put on the eighth song I prepared.”
Tongtong was stunned, “The eighth one… How many songs did you prepare in total?”
“Go.”
Prince of Lanling didn’t answer.
His gaze was fixed on the Samurai performing on stage.
Lin Yuan was somewhat disappointed. Samurai was being too deliberate, there were several notes that he struggled with but still did not want to breathe. It seemed like he was sacrificing the big picture for the small details.
However, since the other party is using breathing as a weapon…
I have it too.
And the name of my next song…
Well…
It’s not deliberate.
