Chapter 21: A direct challenge? (Additional chapter 1)

The second song chosen was actually Xu Feng’s famous song!

The live broadcast room, which already had millions of views, suddenly became lively.

The rules of this PK have been clearly displayed in front of everyone. Even those who are biased will find it difficult to say that this is a fair game.

In terms of rules, Ding Henrun has the advantage everywhere!

Being able to decide the repertoire for the competition and select the songs in advance, if Xu Feng wasn't too arrogant, how could he agree to such a request?
So even though many people mocked Xu Feng in the live broadcast room, no one ever criticized him from this perspective - because Ding Henrun was really not in the right.

However, when the second song was confirmed to be "Ugly" originally created by Xu Feng, the wind direction of the entire PK live broadcast room reversed!

As the party with the upper hand in terms of the rules and the one who can freely choose the songs, Ding Henrun did not choose a style that Xu Feng was not good at, nor did he target the other party. Instead, he chose the other party's original song.

You should know that original singers have great advantages when playing and singing their own songs.

Even if both parties perform about the same, or even if the original creator performs a little worse, the public will tend to favor the original creator most of the time.

In other words, Ding Henrun gave up his advantage and chose to challenge Xu Feng head-on!

"Great! Teacher Ding is awesome!"

"No one will say PK is unfair now, right?"

"The other side is really sweating profusely now."

"Even if we lose this round, we have shown our momentum and will definitely win the third round!"

"Isn't this still unfair? Xu Feng didn't know the repertoire in advance and is still behind in preparation."

"Isn't it fair that Xu Feng has already won one round? Why don't we just give him another round, giving him two wins out of three games? That's fair, right?"

"That's right, don't push it too far. You can't feed a wolf, right?"

Xiao Yue: "Young people have this drive, they are humble and capable, and their future is limitless."

"I want to see Xu Feng's expression when he loses right now!"

"Sister Xiao Yue is right!"

"Wow, Sister Xiao Yue's high recognition!"

"Teacher Ding is definitely going to take off after this PK."

"..."

After glancing at the comments, Xu Feng picked up the instrument with an expressionless face. He suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, and put on an attitude as if facing a formidable enemy and defending his dignity. He played the accompaniment of "Ugly Monster" in the best condition ever.

It is more perfect than any previous time, even the emotions are perfectly expressed.

After finishing playing, Xu Feng wiped away the distracted look on his face, put down the bass, and glanced at the camera.

In order to allow the competition to enter the third round smoothly, Xu Feng deliberately made several small mistakes that were not obvious but were relatively fatal when performing in the second round as Ding Henrun.

With his overwhelming original identity, overwhelming playing quality, and the program team knowing clearly that the song selected for the third round was Ding Henrun's hidden trump card, it was no problem for Xu Feng to win the second round.

"Dang..."

The sound of plucking strings rang out, and Ding began to play smoothly.

Things turned out just as Xu Feng expected. After Ding Henrun picked up the bass and started playing, starting from the first syllable, the overall sound was far inferior to Xu Feng's version.

Xu Feng deliberately let down the tone when recording the video for Ding Henrun, and the quality of his performance was not as good as Xu Feng's live version on variety shows.

Of course, the overall performance is still very good and can still reach a very excellent professional level, but compared with Xu Feng's version, it is obviously at a disadvantage.

But even with such a huge gap, the comments were full of encouragement and support, praising Ding Henrun's courage and uprightness. Apparently, the program team's water army account once again made efforts, intending to take this opportunity to solidify Ding Henrun's personality.

As long as they can fix this persona that directly challenges Xu Feng, and with a little public relations, the fairness of the normal competition will be beyond doubt, and Xu Feng will surely be ruined!
This is what happens when a newcomer dares to offend their program team!

No matter how talented or capable you are, there is no room for struggle.

After putting down the bass, Ding Henrun unsurprisingly failed in the second round of PK. However, the comments on the other side were all encouragement, praise, and "honor in defeat".

On the contrary, as the winner, Xu Feng’s barrage environment was not so good, and even a little gloomy.

"Teacher Xu Feng, why do you look like you are really going to send it?"

“Hahaha… I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel like there’s something very strange about the comments over there, like they’re from a troll army. It’s really not easy to win in a vote like this.”

"Did you offend anyone?"

Big Bird spun around: "Winning and losing are common in the military, so relax. There's still a third round, so don't let it affect your mentality. Also, don't accept this kind of challenge casually in the future, and even if you do, you must be fully prepared!"

The Phantom God: "I still say the same thing. You don't need to use one of your skills to challenge someone else's lifelong learning. The outcome of this battle will not affect you in any way."

Dai Mingli: "Brother Xu Feng, keep steady!"

"Tsk, I still want to see the unruly Xu Feng just now. You should recover a little."

"You should think about how to slide and kneel later, Xiao Xu."

Xia You, the bass player, said: "Don't listen to the nonsense above. Xu Feng, just give your best performance. I am looking forward to your performance."

"Are you still fighting hard, Xu Feng? Have you ever thought that the opponent is willing to give you the second game, which means he is sure to win?"

"Does Xu Feng have any black spots? Why do so many people attack him? I really like his slightly lazy look..."

"Everyone knows what 'God of Tomorrow's Singer' is like. Xu Feng, who was sure to win first place, suddenly withdrew from the competition. Who would believe him if he said there was no trick?"

"Don't talk conspiracy theories without evidence."

"..."

Xu Feng looked at the comments full of grief and said with a dumb smile: "There is still a third round, and it is still uncertain who will win. Don't be so hasty to draw a conclusion."

Although I was acting and only thought those negative comments were funny, but looking at those IDs that did not change with the wind, did not rush to cut off the relationship, but instead comforted and encouraged others, it is hard to say that I did not have any emotional fluctuations at all.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

It is not so easy to pretend to be arrogant.

But... in order to complete the commission perfectly, I still have to act.

"Let's unveil the third round of songs!" Xu Feng regained his confidence and said, "It's time to end this childish game."

In the first two rounds, both sides won and lost, and the PK reached its most intense stage. Xu Feng could see that the number of viewers displayed in the lower right corner of the live broadcast room had reached an astonishing five million!

And the number is still rising.

Countless people are concerned about who will win the life-and-death battle between the two masters of unpopular musical instruments.

After Xu Feng said this, everyone held their breath and focused their attention on Ding Henrun's live broadcast.

The bribed audience, the real spectators, the program crew who were waiting coldly for Xu Feng to make a fool of himself, the people who hoped that Xu Feng could turn the tide in the last round... and so on, all of them couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of tension in their hearts.

After a pause of two or three seconds, Ding Henrun took out a sign with a line of large characters on it: "The last round is my original song... It's called "The Wind Rises"."
