Chapter 529: 504
Everyone was taken aback!
The program’s dozens of cameras captured countless stunned faces, splitting the screen into segments to deliver the most striking shock to the audience in front of the screen!
Even if the song had finished singing…
This kind of shock did not diminish in the slightest, but rather intensified with everyone’s momentary reflections!
Soon after!
Someone screamed, countless applause erupted from the audience, from the seven hundred spectators to the fifty jury members, all giving a warm applause for this performance!
“This song…”
“It’s unbeatable…”
“Weren’t there people saying that the singing skills of the Prince of Lanling were not good? This is what you call poor singing skills?”
“He never took a breath!”
“It’s not just about taking breaths anymore, it’s about connecting the climaxes, unstoppable like a breaking levee, and by the end, my brain is almost blank!”
“This is insane!”
“From performance to breathing to the overall structure, Prince of Lanling has almost crushed the Samurai’s performance. Every point of Samurai’s counterattack was perfectly neutralized by the Prince of Lanling, and in a superior way!”

“…..”
Amid the thunderous applause.
Many people were discussing.
Host Anhong took the stage, his voice sounded slightly unusual: “Thank you to teacher Prince of Lanling for presenting us with this musical feast. I see everyone was very excited, moreover, according to our temporary backstage statistics, the barrage from Netizens during this live broadcast was the most intense since the start of our live program today…”
The reaction from both the stage and the outside world.
Were all the same!
The host looked at Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing after several heavy breaths finally spoke with lingering fear: “The singer’s fine, but the people listening to it are almost out of breath. I’m not surprised at all that Xian Yu could write such a song, from composition to structure are really top-quality. I was surprised that the Prince of Lanling could actually handle this difficult song——”
“It’s super difficult!”
Ye Zhi Qiu from next door surprisingly interrupted Zheng Jing, his expression was one of shock: “The demand for breath control in this song is too high. It’s not about how big the lung capacity of Prince of Lanling is, but how he uses and controls his lung capacity without wasting a single bit. This is a textbook-level use of breath. If only considering the performance of this song, the Prince of Lanling is at the level of a singing king!”
“Not only that!”
The facial paralysis, Yin Dong opened his mouth: “At the same time you can’t hear the breathing, he can sing a long high note for a long time. I believe the audience who listen to the song feel like they’re running out of breath, and he can still increase his volume and increase the pitch of his voice…”
The audience nodded furiously!
Isn’t that exactly the case!
They say about decline after the second attempt and exhaustion after the third, just listening makes people feel like their breath can’t keep up. The result is that he can continue to increase his volume and pitch to push the song to a higher level——
It’s terrifying!
Lin Yuan didn’t say a word.
Breathing is a science in singing, and Terry Lin found a cocktail way of singing due to his sinus problems, which made all of his songs live almost without hearing too much breathing. And the live version of “I Surrender” is definitely one of Terry Lin’s strongest non-breathing performances. Lin Yuan had to go through a lot of hardship to find the trick of this method of singing, even using the system’s teaching space for repeated research to find the right direction, so this result is within expectation.
Anhong looked at Yang Zhongming.
Yang Zhongming stared at the Prince of Lanling for several seconds, as if pondering something. Then the words he uttered next suddenly made the whole audience burst into laughter: “Are you breathing through your pores?”
Even breathing through pores is possible.
Yang Zhongming did not continue to joke, his expression was a bit serious: “There’s no need for everyone to keep discussing about taking breaths. The breath control in this song is textbook-level, but we should return to the song itself. This song is the most perfect I’ve heard from Prince of Lanling in terms of singing skills, the long notes in the song require extreme tolerance of the vocal cords, also the song’s composition is very good, it’s just a pity that due to its difficulty, this song could be many singers’ nightmare.”
…
At the backstage.
The Robot nodded earnestly: “This song is really nightmare-level difficult, it’s not the high notes that are difficult, so any singer who’s good at high notes can reach them. The terrifying part is that the high note section is too long, and everyone can reach the high notes but the breath might not last long enough, anyways, I can’t do it, and it seems that teacher Bai Tianshi can’t do it either, how about you guys?”
Pufferfish shook his head.
The mermaid shook his head.
Who can withstand this?
The First team cannot stand it, the Third team also cannot stand it, to be precise the Third team is still in silence, ever since Prince of Lanling started to sing, it seems that everyone in the Third team has become mute.
After a long while.
The Sprite murmured in a low voice: “The high-note section is not really exaggerated, I can sing even higher than him…”
Everyone looked at the Sprite.
And still didn’t expose her.
Yeah, you can sing higher than him, but can you hold your breath longer than him? He can easily go for dozens of seconds without taking a breath…
On the stage.
The host looked at the seemingly dazed Samurai next to him and tried to keep his voice natural: “Next, we’ll invite the Warrior Teacher to the stage, to join Teacher Prince of Lanling, and together receive the votes of the audience.”
The Samurai silently moved forward.
Standing beside the Prince of Lanling.
He did not dare look at the other man.
This round has almost sucked all his breaths out, especially after realizing that the breathing of the Prince of Lanling was stable. The Samurai couldn’t help but think of how he was panting after finishing his performance…
What a freak!
Is this even human?
He must be a singing machine!
Such a slap in the face! I sang about leaving, and you followed up with a song called I Surrender. So, am I the one who should leave?
The Samurai regrets it!
If he knew beforehand, he definitely would not have attacked Prince of Lanling’s breath control. That’s the one area he simply couldn’t touch. But after thinking about it, the Samurai despaired once again…
Changing the song wouldn’t help either!
The live performance of Prince of Lanling was not only a showcase of terrifying breath control; it was also a comprehensive demonstration of the song’s quality. Even if you disregarded the breath control aspect, the song was still overwhelming!
Kill gods when they appear!
Kill buddhas when they appear!
He sighed inwardly.
The audience at the site was somewhat empathetic, refraining from laughing out loud. However, the viewers in front of their screens hold no such restraint, bursting into unrestrained laughter—
“Humiliated on the spot!”
“We don’t even need to discuss this, right? Even if the audience were to vote with their feet, they should know who to vote for. The judges didn’t even critique the Samurai’s performance, perhaps to save some of his dignity?”
“The one who moves first always loses!”
“The ancients didn’t deceive us!”
“Even Maestro himself said this is a textbook level use of breath control. Who would dare to criticize Prince of Lanling’s critique on other singers’ breathing issues now? Would they dare say something if they aren’t skilled?”
“…”
The fans of Yuan Xi fell silent. So did the fans of Fei Yang. All fans of singers who saw Prince of Lanling unfavorably were left speechless now. The slap in the face was just too loud.
…
The music set by the production team for the voting session was quite intense. However, when the results came out and the Samurai turned to look at his score, his heart turned cold. He might have created the largest score gap in this round!
Samurai: 218 votes
Prince of Lanling: 766 votes
The total votes didn’t reach a thousand, implying some people abstained. However, this was also allowed in the competition. When some people didn’t know who to vote for, they would abstain. Clearly, there were still people who liked the Samurai. This was completely normal, as everyone has their own tastes in music.
“Congratulations!”
Host An Hong announced loudly amidst the celebratory music, as if the results were suspenseful: “Teacher Lanling Prince has won this round. Our Teacher Samurai, unfortunately, enters the waiting zone to compete for the only available upgradation spot. Do you two have anything to say at this moment, Teacher Lanling Prince…?”
“Thank you.”
Lin Yuan didn’t say much. He already expressed his opinions of the Samurai during the special review session. It was up to the Samurai to take it to heart or not. He had pointed out a direction for him to improve.
“Teacher Samurai.”
Host An Hong looked at the Samurai. Even through the mask, everyone could feel the Samurai’s dejection. He really got rubbed in the dirt by his opponent this round.
“Uh-huh.”
The Samurai exhaled deeply, then picked up the microphone and said: “I don’t know if I will be unmasked today, but it won’t hurt to say something now. I am from Yan Continent, and we Yan people are warlike and believe in the doctrine of the winner as the king. I admit that I was initially unwilling to accept my defeat, but when I think about it carefully, I feel I have lot fairly and squarely. I don’t have the right to blame anyone, and I will seriously consider Teacher Lanling Prince’s advice. For me, this is perhaps not a competition but a learning experience. I admit defeat wholeheartedly in this round.”
Admit defeat wholeheartedly!
The audience below applauded, and beneath his mask, Lin Yuan’s face broke into a smile. Not because of winning, but because he could tell that the Samurai had recognized his problem, which was the reason he gave an honest review initially.
Both retired from the stage.
When Lin Yuan returned to the passage, he could still hear the audience cheering loudly. Waiting there was Tongtong, who wiped her tears and hugged Lin Yuan, leaving him confused.
Why is she crying?
He didn’t know that after Tongtong heard the Samurai’s performance, she almost was certain that Prince of Lanling was bound to lose. Therefore, she blamed herself for not being able to draw a weaker opponent for Prince of Lanling.
“It’s okay.”
Lin Yuan comforted her.
Tongtong wiped her tears and said: “Teacher Lanling is too bad. He hid his strength just like the other singers and only began to show it in the team competition.”
Lin Yuan: “…”
Meanwhile, the audience watching on their screens saw this scene captured on the live broadcast and sent messages filled with agreement. They agreed with Tongtong’s point of view as well. They were sure that Prince of Lanling must have hidden his true strength beforehand!
“King of Singing-level performance!”
“I’m even doubting now if we’ve gotten it wrong from the beginning. Actually, the King of Singing in the first team isn’t the Robot but Prince of Lanling. He just hid his strength more deeply!”
“Impressive high notes!”
“Weren’t there some netizens saying before that Prince of Lanling can’t sing high notes? The key of I Surrender isn’t low at all. At least you won’t be able to sing it at the KTV!”
Praise the law of drop key!
“As we all know, the alias of ‘I Surrender’ is ‘Never Took a Breath.’ If you sing this song, anyone who takes a breath is a puppy!”
“Woof!”
