Chapter 535: Chapter 510 Challenge_1
Between flashes of light.
Lin Yuan put down the microphone.
The song was clearly over, but amidst the smooth piano music of the band, the sadness seemed to still be flowing, seeping into the hearts of countless audience members. All ears still seemed to hear his raspy, enchanting voice.
“Good Lord!”
“He lost his voice!”
“But it became stronger?”
“Can it get any better than this?”
“I cried uncontrollably. I am definitely going to download this song and listen to it a hundred times. I shouldn’t have been in the car, but under it. This is a perfect depiction of the day I caught my wife cheating.”
“Hang in there, brother!”
“Stay strong, bro!”
“There’s nothing to hang in there for, I also thought that it would be better if I was under the car back then. But what if they did something terrible in the car? I would have felt even worse.”
“…”
They were both popular love songs, portraying heartbreak, showcasing unique voices. But when the performances of Fat-Head Fish and Prince of Lanling were put together, there was no suspense as to what would happen next.

Splosh!
Upon the music ending, the entire venue broke into applause. To praise the voice of the Prince of Lanling, despite sounding hoarse from a cold yet singing persistently, and his unique voice that could be considered one of the most special on the stage.
“Good job!”
An Hong stepped onto the stage, and he brought a bottle of water for Prince of Lanling, a straw included. “Thank you, Prince of Lanling, for your performance. I never thought a singer could perform so strong even when he’s lost his voice. Do the four judges have anything to say?”
“Me!”
Ye Zhi Qiu was the first to speak up and even imitated a few lines of Prince of Lanling’s just performed song before helplessly saying, “I felt that Prince of Lanling’s tone wasn’t steady last time. It was just as choppy this time. People might have thought he was running out of breath, but this singing style perfectly conveys this song!”
“Too incredible!”
Zheng Jing was completely stunned: “We all thought that Prince of Lanling’s performance would be affected due to his voice, but I saw a resilient Prince of Lanling!”
“Awesome!”
Yin Dong was still expressionless.
Yang Zhongming smiled and said, “I said earlier that I wouldn’t have any sympathy points for you because of your voice. So,when I vote later, it will be because I really like this song. It’s a high-quality and extremely successful commercial song. The lyrics, the melody, and singing tone are all perfectly melded together!”
Positive comments!
All positive comments!
Of course, all four judges also complemented Fat-Head Fish’s performance. The problem was, her performance was overshadowed by Prince of Lanling. Therefore, when the scores were announced, she undeniably lost.
“Great job!”
Despite the loss, Fat-Head Fish was not heartbroken. She handled it very gracefully, as making it to the final twelve was already her limit. She knew it would be tough to turn the table in the future challenges unless she competes with Prince of Lanling again…
But she didn’t want to.
She simply acknowledged the loss.
Back in his own lounge, Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tongtong at his side quickly served him tea and even gave him a massage. “Prince of Lanling, your performance was amazing tonight, your raspy voice was killer!”
Lin Yuan didn’t say anything.
Good thing he had prepared plenty of songs in advance, or this round would have been tough.
The next matches were brutal:
Robot lost to Revenge Goddess, Lone Wolf to White Swan, Mermaid to Daisy, Elf beat Fishman, and Overlord defeated Pufferfish.
Among them,
The most surprising was the Mermaid, whose scores nearly matched Daisy’s. Daisy is a well-known singer from the second team. Despite her relatively weaker skills, it’s very commendable for Mermaid to push her to such extremes!
Of course,
The King-Queen matches between Robot and Revenge Goddess and Lone Wolf and White Swan were equally splendid. The breathtaking extent of these matches was completely in line with the standards of this competition.
…
According to the competition rules, the victorious singers have to accept the challenge of the losers. So, right after the first round, everyone was called back to the stage, with the winners and losers each occupying half of the stage.
In an instant,
All eyes returned to Prince Lanling. He won the first round, but his voice was clearly problematic. Looking at the lineup of the winners:
Overlord!
Elf!
Daisy!
White Swan!
Revenge Goddess!
Regardless of how you look at it, the Prince of Lanling seems to be the easiest singer to challenge. The singers’ gazes became somewhat complicated, considering that in their ranks they have the likes of Lone Wolf and the Robot, both Kings of Singing.
“It’s over!”
“Prince of Lanling!”
“The four singers who lose this round will surely choose Prince of Lanling. The song he just sang was very sneaky, so sneaky that he practically can’t repeat the miracle from the first round!”
“…”
The audience was busy discussing.
Host Anhong smiled and said, “Singers, please choose your opponent. I must emphasize that challengers can’t pick the same singer, because ganging up isn’t fair either. We can let the singer who scored higher in the previous round go first. First off, we invite to the stage, Teacher Lone Wolf!”
“Overlord.”
The moment Lone Wolf spoke out, the entire venue gasped.
Instead of choosing the seemingly weakest Prince of Lanling, Lone Wolf has chosen the outwardly strongest Overlord…
So bold!
Even Anhong was taken by surprise.
He laughed and said: “This is indeed an unexpected choice. Teacher Overlord’s opponent in the next round is Teacher Lone Wolf. So, the next singer to choose is Teacher Mermaid!”
“Daisy.”
The Mermaid spoke up.
Again, she didn’t pick Prince Lanling but chose Daisy instead, the singer who caused her near-defeat in the previous round. Even the female singer is feisty, going straight for the top female vocalist!
The spot burst into cheers!
Anhong’s smile grew bigger: “It seems that our Teacher Mermaid is a little upset about her loss to Teacher Daisy. So, how will the next three singers choose?”
“Revenge Goddess.”
The Robot glanced at the Prince of Lanling, gritted his teeth, and spoke. He was from the first team; he didn’t want to make it hard for the Prince of Lanling.
“Elf, I guess.”
Pufferfish glanced at the Prince of Lanling, too, then laughed and said, “I know I don’t have much of a chance, but I hope that Teacher Prince Lanling can keep going.”
“…”
When Fat-Head Fish decisively chose White Swan, the Fishman looked left and right in confusion, stunned.
No one was left.
Only him and the Prince of Lanling remained.
Facing this outcome, the audience and netizens were all dumbfounded:
“Goodness!”
“No one picked the Prince of Lanling?”
“This round is clearly tailored for choosing the Prince of Lanling!”
“I suddenly realized that this group of fish is actually very united.”
“Yeah, none of them want to eliminate the Prince of Lanling.”
“The Robot too, he must know that choosing the Prince of Lanling is the most promising option, but the result…”
“Fishman seems to have had no choice. Otherwise, I suspect he wouldn’t have chosen the Prince of Lanling either.”
“…”
This outcome defied many people’s expectations!
No one knew what this group of fish was thinking!
The real reason…
Perhaps we will only know when they reveal their faces.
