The song "The Actor" at the beginning stunned me with its portrayal of the aloof school be

Chapter 40 Who Says I'm Going to Sing Ballads? "A Heart Full of Dreams"

Everyone thought that Jiang Che would grit his teeth and bear it with a sentimental song.

This is precisely why everyone was holding their breath for him.

In real-time voting, being lyrical versus being explosive is always a disadvantage for the former.

Everyone felt sorry for him; losing to an opponent like Lu Xunzhou wasn't entirely unjust.

But when Jiang Che stepped onto the stage, he appeared relaxed, yet a sharp glint lurked in his eyes.

He understood everything perfectly.

Lu Xunzhou ignited the entire venue, so he wouldn't dodge or back down.

He also ignited the entire venue.

You're going for a high-energy, explosive performance? I'll just crush you head-on with an even purer, more fiery high-energy track.

This is his usual playing style.

He will use whatever you are best at to suppress you.

Just like that song "Blue Lotus" back then, it crushed Shengda's rock player head-on.

Who says Jiang Che can only sing ballads?

The music library in his mind contains the hottest songs of an entire era.

When it comes to being inspiring, he has plenty.

No one in this world knows how many songs like that are in his head.

In his past life, he could easily pick out the most passionate melody from that era.

Lu Xunzhou's explosive passion is the pinnacle of this world.

But with Jiang Che, there are plenty of songs that are even more explosive than "Explosive Burning".

All he had to do was pick the most suitable song from that music library.

A song that could completely overshadow Lu Xunzhou's blaze.

While the audience below the stage was still holding their breath for him, he was already confident of success.

The more people underestimate him, the more energetic he becomes.

From the very first day he was relegated to a corner, every step he took was a slap in the face to those who had underestimated him.

This time will be no exception.

He looked up and glanced at the worried faces below the stage.

Finally, my gaze lingered for a moment on the girl in the guest seats who was clutching the program.

Then, he looked away, his expression returning to calm.

It's time to show them.

Look at what it means to truly rise from behind and surpass others.

At this moment, he was no longer the student hiding in the corner, being looked down upon at will.

He is Jiang Che.

He is the kind of person who, no matter how far he is thrown, can always get back to the center of the stage with just one song.

The lights focused on him.

He gripped the microphone and closed his eyes briefly.

The clamor from the audience seemed to vanish from him in an instant.

In his world, only that song he was about to sing remained.

This is the state he is most familiar with.

This was also the state he would be in before each of his deifications.

Jiang Che stopped, spoke into the microphone, and announced the song title.

"The next song is called 'Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart'."

The audience was initially stunned, then began to stir.

This name doesn't sound like it at all lyrical.

Is Jiang Che really going to confront Explosive Blaze head-on?

As soon as the song started, everyone's expectations were once again shattered.

Where exactly is the world filled with flowers?

"If it really exists, then I will definitely go."

"I want to stand on the highest peak there."

"It doesn't matter if it's a cliff or a steep slope."

"Live life to the fullest, love with all your might, even if it means sacrificing your life."

"I don't seek anyone's approval, I just want to be true to myself."

"I have never chosen to give up on my ideals."

Even on the most gloomy days

This song has absolutely nothing to do with being sentimental.

It is the burning passion of a child who turns dreams into flames.

As the intro began, some people in the audience were still murmuring.

"Why isn't Jiang Shen going to express his feelings anymore?"

"This tune, why is it so exciting?"

But as soon as the chorus blasted, all the murmurs instantly fell silent.

"Run forward, facing the cold stares and ridicule."

How can one appreciate the vastness of life without experiencing hardship?

"Fate cannot force us to kneel and beg for mercy."

Even if blood is spilled all over my arms.

That one sentence sent chills down everyone's spines.

The fire ignited by Lu Xunzhou burned even brighter, higher, and purer with this song.

Lu Xunzhou burned the stage, Jiang Che burned people's hearts.

One relies on a bombardment of sound, light, and electricity; the other relies on the indomitable spirit in the song.

The energy in this song is strange.

It's so exciting that it makes you want to stand up and scream along, yet it also touches your heart and brings tears to your eyes.

It's something that grows from the very core of your being.

Unwilling to admit defeat, they forge ahead relentlessly towards the distance.

A childlike heart.

The song describes the stubbornness of someone who falls countless times but still gets up and keeps running forward.

Keep running.

"With the pride of a child"

How can you see the brilliance of life if you don't persevere to the end?

"Rather than lingering on in misery, let's burn brightly!"

"It will sprout again one day."

Some people at the scene got so excited that they raised their arms and shouted along.

Some people had tears in their eyes.

For the resentment and burning passion in the song.

Also for the person on stage who walked all the way from the corner to here, never bowing their head once from beginning to end.

He himself is the innocent child in the song who fell countless times but still kept running forward.

From the day he was relegated to the corner, he never admitted defeat.

……

On the mentor's seat, Qin Lie's eyes were filled with emotion.

Cheng Xue's eyes welled up with tears, and she was stunned for a long time.

Shen Yan leaned back in his chair and said in a low voice.

"This kind of energy can't be learned through technique."

He's spent his whole life making music, so he knows all too well how rare this kind of thing is.

Singing skills can be practiced, and arrangement can be learned, but this innate, childlike passion cannot be cultivated.

Lin Xi'er, sitting in the guest seats, was completely stunned.

She suddenly understood completely.

Jiang Che has never been one to be led by the rules.

Is instant voting unfriendly to lyrical expression?

Then he'll switch to a high-energy song and burn through the rules themselves.

Others follow the rules to find the optimal solution, but he directly overturns the rules.

The man's clear and sharp aura once again captivated her.

The worry that had been hanging over him finally subsided.

……

Wang Haoran, who was in the dormitory, jumped up from his chair with a loud shout.

"What did I say again!"

"What did I tell you? My brother never plays by the rules!"

"You all just wait and see how he takes over this fire!"

He was so excited that he jumped around the room, spilling his soda all over the floor.

This time, he wasn't flustered at all.

……

What truly caused the entire audience to lose control was the real-time vote count displayed on the big screen.

This song completely ignited the voting frenzy.

Jiang Che's numbers skyrocketed, climbing one step after another.

They were closing in on Lu Xunzhou's lofty number.

Then, they overtook them.

The comments in the live stream instantly reversed direction.

"Holy crap, this even works?!"

"Who says being sentimental is a disadvantage? Come out and take your punishment!"

"This gave me goosebumps; that's what you call a childlike heart!"

"One second I was worried for him, the next second I'm really happy. I'm sick in the head."

"A true master of face-slapping, he lives up to his name!"

"I knew it. Those who were pessimistic about him ended up being the background characters."

……

"The alluring and dazzling future is always calling to me."

Even if only pain accompanies us, we must forge ahead.

"I want to set sail on the bluest sea there."

"Regardless of whether I can repay it or not"

The song still lingered beneath the dome.

The entire audience was in an uproar, their eyes filled with tears.

Jiang Che, whom everyone predicted would suffer a loss, responded with a song called "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart".

The consensus among the audience that being sentimental is disadvantageous, Lu Xunzhou's fiery outburst that burned through the stage, and all the doubts were combined to create the brightest ray of light on his path to becoming a legend.

When the song reached its climax, Jiang Che's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

That roar was filled with an unyielding spirit.

The entire audience was completely ignited by his energy and shouted along with him.

The sound waves piled up one after another, almost lifting the roof off.

Lu Xunzhou, standing on the side of the stage, stared blankly at this scene.

That fire he just set was burning really bright.

But the person in front of him used an even more intense song to ignite his anger even further.

He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, only slowly clapping his hands.

He deserved to lose this match.

The vote count on the big screen became the focus of the entire event.

Jiang Che's numbers jumped wildly upwards.

One thousand, two thousand, five thousand, ten thousand.
