Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

That’s right, idol boy bands are ultimately an industry that relies on looks.

Although their dance foundation is not as solid as the previous team, this team has Xia Fan, who is far ahead in terms of figure, appearance and temperament, as well as Hirano Eita and Kishi Shiyao, two top-ranked five-star trainees...

For female audiences, a handsome face, seductive eyes and heart-moving expression management are far more attractive than the "range of movement" or "sense of strength".

Chapter 290 Sword of Darkmos

2024-07-13

On the stage, the trainees worked together to create waves of surging people, pushing the content of the show to a climax step by step...

The music stopped abruptly, the lights went out completely, and the whole place was silent.

"As for the difference in appearance and visual effects, the production team can make up for it in a matter of minutes in post-production if they want."

"The winner still depends on the final solo dance..."

Staring at the pitch-black stage, Yayoi Tsukki's fox ears stood up and turned left and right nervously...

"Salivate over me, and then feel the pain in your stomach. The oxygen bomb has been lurking for a long time, and no one knows when it will explode."

"Hit you in the head like a Kingsman bullet. No firefighters' blaze-fest, oxygen burning high up in the sky!"

Amid the charming low-pitched singing voice and powerful drum beats, a bunch of white lamps descended with a "boom"...

An Ziyao, who was in the middle of it, performed a set of trivial dance moves that were all for showing off but without any skills.

Then, the spotlight flickered, and the other three trainees followed closely, switching positions one by one under the light column, showing off their "Silky Little Combo 2.0", "Compact Little Combo 3.0", "Smooth Little Combo 4.0"...

"Pfft... Although I'm not very professional in dancing, this seems to be no different from the 'elderly rehabilitation dance' that the staff forced me to do at concerts..."

Oda pretended to be self-deprecating and said with a smile.

"Ah, that's all... I thought we would see more exciting dance moves..."

"Well, although I am serious, that's all I have left."

With the previous team's excellent performance as an example, Shota Hirai and Goro Kimura also looked disappointed.

"These... sissies..."

"It's fine if you just randomly do a few moves like this and put them in the group dance, but you think you can do it solo just because the speed is fast?!"

"And those two next to each other are just repeated movements, arranged and accelerated. Didn't they discuss this before designing it?"

The four people's consecutive poor SOLO moves caused Yayoi Tsuki's sharp tongue to explode, and she criticized in a low voice mercilessly like chanting a spell.

"..."

In contrast to the anxious Yayoi Tsuki, Akimoto Manjiro, who was watching the game silently at the edge of the stage, smiled.

"Considering the dance skills of these four people, they have performed well. It's a pity that they met opponents of different levels. It's not their fault."

This time, "Oxygen Bomb" was an "open-book exam" that the program team had set for Takahashi Yu and several dance students during the preparation period.

Therefore, he took great pains to tamper with the lottery box and manipulate Xia Fan to bring a few burdens with him to face off against Takahashi You's "All Dancers" team.

Judging from the current stage effects, although Xia Fan's team performed exceptionally well in the group dance, the solo dance was still much inferior to what he had planned.

If this continues, Xia Fan will definitely lose this game, and then be surpassed by other five-star trainees with their large popularity rewards and be left out of the debut position.

When he thought that Xia Fan, the "Sword of Darkness" hanging over the program team's heads, would eventually fall, Akimoto Manjiro felt relaxed all over.

He could already see that the competition among the trainees would return to chaos and intensify, and after stimulating the audience to consume more popularity tickets, it would eventually lead to the outcome that the investors expected...

……

On the stage, amid the increasingly disappointed gazes of the audience, Martin, wearing black clothes and black pants, appeared under the spotlight.

Because the group performance uniforms were black, he looked like a black silhouette in the light column, and also like the villain "Man in Black" in a detective comic.

Following the melody of the music, Martin danced a few times like a metronome, then did a smooth backflip on the spot, stood upside down with his chest touching the ground, and pedaled his "bicycle" upside down...

Although the movements seemed to be the same as in rehearsal, Martin changed from a two-handed bicycle to a more difficult one-handed bicycle. He was obviously inspired by the "leaked video" and tried his best to improve the stage effect.

"One-handed cycling? This Martin has some basic knowledge of street dance."

Finally seeing a brilliant move, Shota Hirai clapped his hands in admiration.

"You're quite good at it..."

"Dancing is indeed a talent of the non-native bloodline!"

From the silky dance combo, it suddenly turned into a cool street dance power move, and the audience also gave enthusiastic applause...

The audience's shouting continued, and as the lights flickered, the person in the light beam had turned into Yuta Hirano.

Just like his personality, he didn't have any foreplay, he just hit the ground with his head, and then he turned upside down and spun like a gyroscope at high speed...

Halfway through the rotation, he suddenly clasped his hands together, propped up his body, and changed from "head rotation" to "hand rotation"!

Obviously, on the performance stage, Yuta Hirano also chose to give it a try and made a breakthrough in difficulty.

“It’s spinning so fast!”

"come on!"

The audience was ignited by Martin and fueled by Hirano Yuta, and the emotions became even more excited, cheering loudly.

"Head turns, hands turn, Hirano-kun didn't admit defeat, good job!"

Goro Kimura had a good impression of this junior from the same company who admired him, and he also cheered for Yuta Hirano.

When Hirano Yuta was about to finish his head turn, the stage turned dark again...

"These two have worked hard and improved the performance a lot, but it's still not enough..."

"Xia Fan's moves must be more eye-catching than Takahashi Yu's to have a chance of winning!"

Yayoi Tsuki, and the countless eyes at the scene, were nervously focused on the center of the darkness...

Because in the next second, the beam of light will light up again...

Xia Fan, the only one who has not yet taken the C turn, will appear and perform the closing dance moves of the performance.

As the current "No. 1", his performance will largely determine the results of the competition for this song, thereby affecting a series of subsequent popularity ranking changes in the entire program!

"Oh!"

Amid the deep and powerful drum beats, the beam of light struck down again.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Xia Fan!!!"

"come on!"

Xia Fan, with a cold expression and deep eyes, appeared among the fans, rocking out to the cheers of the fans!

Then, he leaned over the ground, raised his long legs into the air, and did three fast Thomas loops...

"..."

"Thomas..."

Before everyone had time to react, Xia Fan suddenly thrust his waist back, and with lightning speed, he supported himself on the ground with one hand and began to spin upside down!

"This set of moves is from the last game..."

"Big loop!"

“Handsome, handsome, handsome!”

This set of familiar and difficult moves, although a little "aesthetically tired" because Takahashi Yu had used it not long ago, still triggered cheers from the audience.

After all, after the last round of performances, Xia Fan's impression label has just changed from "a peerless affectionate handsome man" to "a peerless high-pitched handsome man"...

Now he suddenly shows off a difficult power move, just like Magikarp evolving into Gyarados and Metapod evolving into Butterfree, bringing a strong sense of contrast.

Chapter 291 The most difficult double answer

2024-07-13

"I understand, Xia Fan, this is an answer to Takahashi Yu from a distance!"

Looking at Xia Fan's dance moves, Shota Hirai, who was well versed in the rules of street dance, exclaimed in realization.

"This is simply like a street dance battle that transcends time and space, so hot!"

He sighed with a click of his tongue and raised his hands to the sky, making a rock gesture.

"So, he was doing the same thing on purpose, wanting to have a head-on confrontation?"

“It’s not a competition on the same stage, but it’s better than a competition on the same stage!”

Only after hearing what "Teacher Hirai" said did the audience come to their senses.

In a street dance battle, it is a common way of answering to perform the opponent's "ultimate move" easily to show that the move is worthless.

"So, with similar movements, Xia Fan seems to find it easier than Gao Qiao You?"

"No, his movements are faster, more numerous, and last longer. If it were a fencing match, Xia Fan would obviously win..."

"Is this action you are discussing serious?"

But this situation occurred on the idol audition stage, making the audience feel as if they were watching a head-on fist-fighting showdown, so nervous and exciting that they gripped their toes.

Just when everyone thought that Xia Fan would end the loop like Takahashi Yu and land on the ground with a gorgeous finish...

Xia Fan's upright upside-down figure suddenly sank down!

He still maintained the high-speed giant swing movement, the only difference was that the ground was supported by a single elbow instead of a single hand!

"Xia Fan changed his moves..."

"The difficulty seems to be greater than before?"

"Can the elbow continue to rotate?!"

This series of action changes made the audience feel so powerful that they clapped even harder!

"Are you kidding me? Elbow...elbow loop?!"

Shota Hirai, who was sitting in the mentor's seat, looked fascinated.

To ordinary people, the one-handed giant loop and the elbow loop look very similar. The only difference is that the support point is the hand and the elbow...

But only dancers in the industry know that the difficulty of these two moves is incomparable.

There are often beginners who are just starting to learn break dancing asking on online forums, “How long does it take to learn to do an elbow loop?”

The answer I usually get is “Maybe I’ll never learn it in my lifetime.”

If the one-handed giant loop is a high-difficulty explosive move that anyone can master after long-term orthodox training...

Then, the elbow loop is the "most difficult giant loop" that requires a series of comprehensive physical talents such as strength, body control, balance and coordination to master.

"So, it's a DOUBLE ANSWER..."

In a street dance competition, taking over the opponent's "ultimate move" and dancing down in a more difficult or creative way is a more ruthless and disdainful way of response.

"It makes me so excited!"

A boxing ring seemed to appear in front of Shota Hirai...

Xia Fan, shirtless, wearing shorts and boxing gloves, gracefully dodged Takahashi You's hook and then hit back with an even more ferocious "Haoyougen" on the opponent's chin.

"This pervert, has he been practicing street dancing in secret, intending to secretly amaze everyone?"

"His body can actually support such a difficult move as the elbow loop. Is he much stronger than he looks..."

In the mentor's seat, Yayoi Tsuki stared at Xia Fan's standard and powerful elbow swings that seemed to never stop, with only disbelief in her heart.

"That's amazing! This is the 'Big Devil' I'm promoting. He's more handsome than you, stronger than you, and most importantly, more handsome than you!"

In the staff area, Oda Misa was so amazed by Xia Fan's dancing that she was incoherent and jumped on the spot like a rabbit.

"This must be the physical skill that Master Xia Fan has practiced in order to be able to use 'elbow strikes' to exorcise spirits in extreme situations..."

“But it’s really handsome.”

Aoi Jinguji next to her was still sitting calmly in her original position, but there was a knowing smile on the corner of her mouth.

Anyone who has seen Xia Fan kill the God of Wilderness several times in seconds like her would not be surprised by such a "childish" move.
