Three Kingdoms: Start by marrying Cai Yan, then vie for supremacy.

Just then, a girl in a hot short skirt suddenly rushed out of the crowd and excitedly ran to Suzuka:

"Ms. Suzuka! I'm a die-hard fan of yours! Could you please sign my autograph?"

So you were looking for Suzuka?

Looking at the vibrant young girl before her, Suzuka seemed to see a reflection of her younger self, and couldn't help but smile: "Of course, where would you like to sign?"

The girl took out a picture of a phoenix myth, flipped it over, and whispered, "I'll sign it here."

Just as Suzuka was about to sign her name, the girl suddenly spoke up: "Ms. Suzuka, I've just been accepted into university. Could you please give me a few more words of blessing?"

Blessings?

Bellflower was stunned.

It's not that I don't know how to write blessings, it's just that it's really difficult to come up with something on a whim. Writing something ordinary would seem perfunctory, but I have no idea how to come up with any unique words.

With boarding time fast approaching, there was no time to think. As Linghua frowned, she caught a glimpse of Mo, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

After quickly signing her name, she handed the photo to Mo: "Master, you write the blessing." She then smiled at the girl, "My master's writing skills far surpass mine; you'll definitely be satisfied with what he writes."

The girl was overjoyed. Although she was a fan of Suzuka, she also admired Mo just as much. "Mr. Mo, thank you for your help."

"I..." Mo almost kicked Linghua. How could this disciple betray her master like this?

With Mo's intelligence, how could he not see through Linghua's little scheme? But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with it.

What should I write about? As he hesitated, his gaze fell on the print on the girl's T-shirt, and suddenly inspiration struck.

The brushstrokes are fluid and powerful, penetrating the paper, resulting in vigorous and upright characters.

"Here you go." Mo smiled and handed over the photo.

The girl took it and examined it closely, then exclaimed in surprise:

"After Passing the Imperial Examination"

The sordid past is nothing to boast about; today, my thoughts are boundless.

Riding a horse in the spring breeze, I gallop swiftly, and in a single day I see all the flowers of Chang'an.

The voice has not fallen,

The room erupted in uproar!

......

"**, isn't this an ancient poem?"

"Nonsense! The problem is that Mo can actually compose classical poems on the spot? This poem, 'After Passing the Imperial Examination,' is unheard of!"

"Absolutely original! Classical Chinese poetry emphasizes rhyme and tonal patterns; who in modern times is still proficient in that?"

"Wow, to see someone with such profound knowledge of traditional poetry in a pop singer is amazing!"

......

The crowd at the scene, whether they supported Murdoch or opposed him, were all stunned.

Even after the flight carrying Mo and Linghua took off, many fans remained stunned, unable to come to their senses for a long time.

The security guards responsible for maintaining order finally breathed a sigh of relief—the duo was so popular that they had been on tenterhooks the whole time, fearing something might go wrong.

Fortunately, the whole process went smoothly.

A few hours later.

When the plane landed at Changsha Airport, the "Singing for Praise" program team had already sent people to wait at the exit.

"Welcome, teachers." The staff member politely took the luggage.

Mo and Linghua nodded politely in greeting.

"Would you like me to introduce you to the other contestants in this round?" The staff member asked proactively from inside the smoothly moving luxury car.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Mo admitted frankly. "We really haven't been paying attention to this round's contestant list."

This reflects both their easygoing nature and their absolute confidence in their own abilities.

"This episode features six groups of contestants, besides you two forming the Phoenix Myth..."

The staff member explained in detail, "There are also five teachers: Zhang Bichen, Wang Linkai, Taiyi, Tang Hanxiao, and Hu Yanbin."

"It's important to note that our program only announces the winner's ranking. So, to be remembered by the audience, you must win first place."

"Understood, we will try our best," Mo replied.

This list of contestants precisely reflects the gap between "Singing for Praise" and "I Am a Singer"—the latter invites household-name, powerful singers.

Phoenix Myth is undoubtedly one of the most popular singer groups today, and Hu Yanbin and Zhang Bichen are also well-known singers. However, names like Wang Linkai, Taiyi, and Tang Hanxiao may be relatively unfamiliar to many people.

Low brand recognition means they haven't yet reached the level of being a household name.

Singers like Zhou Jielun, Xu Song, Chen Yixun, and Deng Ziqi are names that anyone on the street can easily name.

Hu Yanbin has strong singing and songwriting abilities, but unfortunately, due to his appearance and personality, he has never become a big star, which is really a pity.

Although Zhang Bichen is quite popular, his accumulated experience is not yet deep enough.

The car drove smoothly and soon arrived at the studio for the broadcast of "Ode to Song".

After several rehearsals, Mo and Linghua felt they were in good shape, so they took a short rest in the lounge.

"The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" was an original song that Mo had submitted in advance, and the show's band had been rehearsing the accompaniment intensively for the past few days. Fortunately, the band's skill level was high, and they quickly mastered the melody. Mo was very satisfied with today's audition.

Although Mo can sing and play instruments, one person cannot reproduce the timbres of multiple instruments. Band collaboration is clearly more ideal. During the previous impromptu performance of "Landscape Painting," he could only sing and play the instrument because the band couldn't learn the piece in a short time.

Later, Mo and Linghua recorded the complete version of "Landscape Painting" and released it on a Chinese music platform, making Phoenix Myth's fans ecstatic.

"Hey, isn't this the Phoenix duo who's been all the rage lately?"

During the break, a voice came from outside the door. Hu Yanbin, wearing a leather jacket, walked in.

"Teacher Hu is wrong," Linghua said, staring at him.

Hu Yanbin smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits: "Ms. Linghua is still so beautiful! And Mr. Mo is still so...uh...handsome!"

As he continued, Hu Yanbin nearly dropped his jaw in astonishment. He hadn't been online recently and was unaware of Mo's changed appearance. Seeing him today, he was utterly astonished.

Mo smiled and said, "It seems I didn't have a very good image in Teacher Hu's eyes before."

"Nonsense!" Hu Yanbin whispered, leaning closer. "How come Teacher Mo suddenly became so handsome? Tell me your secret! I've been troubled by my looks for years!"

Mo sighed helplessly. He was able to change so much entirely thanks to the system's support, and he was powerless to help even if he wanted to!

But then a thought suddenly struck him: "Why don't you try this method?"

"What method?" Hu Yanbin immediately perked up.

Mo said slowly and deliberately:

"1、每天100个伏地挺身！100个仰卧起坐！100个深蹲！外加10公里跑步！

2. You must eat three meals a day on time. It's okay to eat a banana for breakfast; the key is to strengthen your willpower.

3. No matter how hot or cold the weather, absolutely no air conditioning. It was absolutely agonizing at first, and I always wanted to slack off! But no matter how hard or tiring it was, I had to grit my teeth and persevere! Even if my legs were so sore I couldn't lift them, I still had to finish the squats.

4. Even with cracking wrists, I still did push-ups! After a year and a half of consistent practice, I suddenly discovered...

"Wait, wait, wait..." Mo suddenly changed his mind, "and then he became handsome!"

Hu Yanbin was stunned.

This is a devilish training method that no human could possibly come up with.

At that moment, footsteps could be heard in the corridor, and the other singers arrived one after another.

Wang Linkai, Taiyi, Tang Hanxiao, and Zhang Bichen all came.

All the guests were present for the sixth episode of "Singing for Praise".

"Are the teachers having such a lively chat?" Tang Han approached with a smile.

Silently observing the four newcomers, Zhang Bichen recognized them—after all, he was close to Hua Chenyu. He focused his attention on the other three: Wang Linkai, with his baby face, was the youngest; Taiyi, with his flowing long hair, had a gentle and refined demeanor; and Tang Hanxiao also had several well-known works.

Seeing that I didn't know everyone well, I silently chose to remain in the background.

As expected, Hu Yanbin skillfully greeted them, saying, "Let's chat casually." Soon, the group was exchanging pleasantries, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Zhang Bichen, hiding in the corner, quietly sent a message to Hua Chenyu: "Saw Mo."

The other party replied instantly: "Have you heard anything about the new song?"

Zhang Bichen: "There is no definite news at the moment. 'Ode to Song' keeps all the participating songs strictly confidential. Even we singers cannot find out, and the staff are also keeping quiet."

Hua Chenyu: "It doesn't matter. No matter what Phoenix Myth sings, just make sure I get first place!"

"I want to see how arrogant Mo can still be after being **edged, and see if he can still act so arrogantly!"

Zhang Bichen: "Understood, leave it to me!"

All seven singers from the six groups participating in "Ode to Song" stayed at the hotel arranged by the program team.

The production team naturally wouldn't skimp on this expense.

Saturday morning.

Mo heard something as soon as he got up—

Hu Yanbin practiced according to the training plan all morning, almost pushing himself to another world.

puff!

Mo burst out laughing on the spot, never expecting that Hu Yanbin would actually take his impromptu animation training plan seriously!

It seems Hu Yanbin is quite persistent about improving his appearance!

Go ahead and train. You might not become more handsome, but it's always good to stay healthy.

Mo decided not to expose this beautiful misunderstanding.

During lunch, Hu Yanbin slumped in his chair and asked, "Teacher Mo, why didn't you come to exercise?"

Mo calmly took a bite of his apple: "I graduated from my special training a long time ago."

Hu Yanbin suddenly realized what was going on, and then began to wolf down his food—he was so hungry after the intense training that he could have swallowed a whole cow.

The other singers watched the two's seemingly encrypted conversation, and although they were curious, they didn't ask any further questions.

Night fell in the blink of an eye.

At 8 PM, the countdown to the live broadcast of "Ode to Song" begins.

Millions of viewers have already flocked to the live stream room before it even started, and the number is still skyrocketing.

"Front row seats reserved!"

"The day has finally come!"

What divine song will Phoenix Myth bring us this time?

"Rinka must be carrying the show in every song!"

"Of course, Mo's performance was too outstanding last time, this time it's Suzuka's turn to shine."

"Hehe, just keep reading and you'll see."

……

In the live stream room, the chat was constantly scrolling.

[In Praise of Songs] Inside the studio.

The production team carefully selected 100 young people who love music to form the "100-Praise Panel." They represent diverse aesthetics, and their final votes will determine which song will win the championship and receive massive online promotion—this is the core rule of the show.

Good evening everyone! Welcome to the live broadcast of the sixth episode of "Praise for Songs"!

At 8 p.m. sharp, the host appeared on stage to the sound of music.

"The list of contestants for this episode has been announced, but—" the female host smiled mysteriously, "I'm going to reveal a little surprise in advance!"

The number of viewers in the live stream had now exceeded 800 million, and the chat was instantly buzzing with excitement.

"An Easter egg? Could it be a hidden track?"

"The production team always loves to come up with new tricks, but I fall for them!"

"There aren't many music variety shows to watch these days, so cherish them while you can."

"Are they going to ask the host to rap on the spot?"

"Are you dreaming? This is a professional stage!"

"If it's your specialty, why don't you take the job?"

……

Amidst a chorus of jokes, the playlist lit up on the big screen:

[New Song Lineup]

Phoenix Myth: The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Zhang Bichen's "Awakening from a Dream"

Taiyi (song title not yet announced)

[Classic Cover Song]

Hu Yanbin's "Idle Talk of a Prodigal Son"

Wang Linkai's "Whats-wrong-with-me"

Tang Hanxiao's "Green"

The audience's attention was instantly drawn to the new song list:

"Phoenix Myth doesn't sing 'Landscape Painting'? Original content is amazing!"

"Zhang Bichen's new song title is quite interesting; my expectations are sky-high!"

"Taiyi's song is hilarious! The title says 'Title to be determined'! Could it be a last-minute replacement?"

"Who knows? We'll find out when the performance starts!"

Even before the show started, viewers' anticipation was already at its peak.

Full of curiosity!

......

Somewhere in the Dragon Kingdom.

Hua Chenyu's residence.

In that familiar concert hall, the black piano stood silently, but no music was played.

Hua Chenyu sat alone on the sofa by the French windows, holding a glass of red wine, lost in thought.
