Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

Ren Dongxuan.

A legendary diva who has been retired from the music scene for many years, she is known for her unique voice and songwriting ability, and is a true figure at the top of the pyramid.

Ling Luo recognized the name, but not because of her songs.

Rather, his name appeared in the thick stack of documents when the research institute conducted his political review.

Backstage, Gu Yang felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, his throat went dry, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

Oh no, it's her!

His dear aunt, who is elegant and proper in public, but rich and stingy at home.

The thought of those three hundred votes in her hand chilled Gu Yang's heart.

Given her stingy nature, she only put 100 yuan in her own red envelope last Chinese New Year, and even called it "thrift and frugality are virtues". How can you expect her to be merciful and vote for you?

I could never dream of something this good.

Now look what happened. Everyone else is on the same starting line, but he hasn't even started running yet, and he's already been kicked from behind.

I want to go home, I want to cry.

Seeing that Gu Yang's face was pale and he looked dejected, as if he was about to cry, Feng Yuxi nudged him.

"What's wrong with you? Are you too excited to see your idol?"

Gu Yang wiped his face, his voice trembling with tears: "It's nothing, I just feel that the world is hard and life isn't worth living."

If he can get ten votes from his aunt, he'll livestream himself sleeping upside down today.

The other contestants, on the other hand, kept their eyes glued to the person on stage whose brilliance had not diminished in the past.

If I could get this judge to give me a hundred or eighty votes, my ranking might rise a few places.

Every contestant was green with envy at the number of votes that could directly determine their fate, hoping to win the favor of this legendary diva.

The show officially began. Dong Xuelan stepped off the stage, and the first contestant, who was about to go on stage, took a deep breath and gripped the microphone tightly.

The atmosphere backstage instantly became tense; none of the remaining nine people were easy to deal with.

The first contestant to take the stage was Tang Zhipeng, who ranked last in the previous episode. His voice was naturally husky, and the songs he chose for the first two rounds were very clever, perfectly matching his vocal range.

For this third round, he chose an explosive rock song.

As the music started, his slightly hoarse voice was like ignited explosives, instantly detonating the entire venue.

  

"Holy crap! Tang Zhipeng's explosive power is that strong?"

Feng Yuxi's eyes widened as she stared intently at the figure on the big screen, who was firing at full power.

So all those bastards were hiding their true abilities, and he was the only idiot who gave it his all in every game?

"It's over, Gu Yang, I might come in last place today." He turned his head with a look of despair.

Gu Yang was also shocked, but having been in the industry for two years, he could handle this situation.

He put his arm around Feng Yuxi's shoulder and patted him like he was comforting a child.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Call me Daddy, and I'll help you."

Feng Yuxi immediately gave him an elbow strike, hitting him squarely in the ribs.

"Damn it, you murdered your godfather!" Gu Yang winced in pain.

This interruption eased Feng Yuxi's tension considerably.

Gu Yang put his arm around her again: "You're just after credits, what are you afraid of? Think about it, you've already earned two more credits than the other students, and you also have an internship certificate. You're much better off than those students who work part-time at extracurricular classes, right?"

"You're next, so you can't let your mentality crumble."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuxi pondered it for a moment and realized it made perfect sense. His classmates worked themselves to the bone during the summer vacation but didn't earn a single credit.

Thinking about it this way, he instantly felt much better, and the person who was so nervous that he was almost moving in unison seemed not to be him at all.

Gu Yang was speechless for a moment.

"You have a really big heart."

"You talk as if you're so petty."

A staff member came over to call Feng Yuxi to get ready, and he even had the mood to wave to Gu Yang.

"I'm going now."

"Go for it! Go for it! Yuxi is the best!"

Gu Yang stood up, waving his arms like a whirlwind, almost as if he were about to perform a shamanic dance to cheer him on.

Feng Yuxi also chose rock, but unlike Tang Zhipeng's screams, his voice, enhanced by electronic music, was like a sharp blade that had been tempered, precise and sharp.

This voice is simply a gift from God.

[Ugh, I'm so tired! Have all the contestants gone crazy today? It's all rock and hip-hop!]

Of the contestants so far, I like Zhang Minghui the most; his deep voice is so sexy.

Tang Zhipeng is also good; his hoarse rock voice is like a lion on the grassland!

[The electronic rock music from Yuxi is the killer combination, a match made in heaven!]

In the live stream room, fans from all sides were frantically spamming the chat with comments, as if this could alleviate some of the heat of the scene.

The audience members were so engrossed in waving their arms that they could barely lift them, and even the judges were sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the intermission was over, and artists from LeRan and GuangHe came on stage to perform as guests.

First up was LeRan's newcomer, dressed in a tight black leather outfit with a huge white headset around his neck, looking incredibly cool.

Seeing this, Wei Shaoan whispered to Zhuo Tongyu beside him, "It's not still rock and roll, is it?"

His old bones are about to fall apart. If he keeps shaking like this, tomorrow's trending topic will be #JudgeWeiShaoanSuspectedOfOverdoingClubOnSite#.

Zhuo Tongyu was also exhausted. He preferred ballads, and with everyone partying like this today, he was almost at his breaking point.

"I don't think so. They're just guest performers, not here to compete."

If your performance style clashes with the contestants', and you happen to sing worse than them, you'll be incredibly embarrassed.

As they spoke, the prelude to music began on stage.

The judges' hearts skipped a beat.

It's not rock, but it's definitely more energetic metal music!

On the contrary, Ling Luo's eyes suddenly lit up.

The development of metal music in this world is severely fragmented, with some people online even proclaiming "metal is dead," which means he has never heard of the level of metal music in this world.

He immediately sat up straight and listened intently.

However, after four sections, the light in Ling Luo's eyes went out.

What kind of rubbish is this arrangement?

The drumbeats were sluggish, the rhythm was completely disjointed, and the guitar playing was a hodgepodge with no logic whatsoever.

He silently leaned back in his chair, completely losing interest.

A few minutes later, Dong Xuelan calmly escorted the person off the stage, and not only the judges, but even Ling Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

Next up is Yun Xinyi, a newcomer from Guanghe Entertainment. Guanghe Entertainment has been aggressively expanding into the music market in the past two years, signing many new artists, and she is one of them.

She was wearing an elegant cheongsam, with white feathers adorning the diagonal placket swaying gently as she walked.

Her appearance was like a gentle breeze from the Jiangnan water towns, instantly dispelling the noise and heat that had lasted for half a day.

Her graceful figure and unique classical charm made her stand out to many viewers.
