“You can also hit the high notes!”
Lin Yuan had just returned backstage when the Swan said that with a smile. Lin Yuan had not revealed this in previous competitions.
“It’s not that high.”
Lin Yuan considered and then replied.
Swan: “It’s still pretty good.”
Pufferfish: “It is quite high.”
Mermaid: “Although the high notes are not particularly high, being able to sing that long is not something an ordinary person can do, your singing method is very unique, I hope to have the opportunity to learn from you.”
“Hmm.”
Team One chatted for a while, but what the audience saw in the live broadcast was quite helpless:
“Not that high?”“Pretty good?”
“These freaks!”
“Professionals are so picky.”
“If someone else said the song ‘I Surrender’ isn’t high, I’d definitely slap them in the face, but it seems that everyone in Team One is good at hitting those high notes, just the high notes of Pufferfish are already freakish.”
“…”
A scene of braggards.
The competition continued, the enthusiasm of the audience for “The Masked Singer” did not wane with the end of the battle between Prince of Lanling and the Samurai. On the contrary, the mood seemed to be getting more and more exciting because this issue was too stimulating!
The singers were all giving it their all!
While the duel between the Prince of Lanling and the Samurai was indeed thrilling, the real anticipation from the audience for this match mostly came from the Samurai’s previous declaration of war on the Prince of Lanling. Now that the situation of grievances was clear, everyone naturally shifted their attention to the following matches…
The excitement continued in the next round.
Because the two contestants who were up next had equally terrifying performances. One was the robot king of singing and the other was the fairy queen of singing. These two were big names in their respective teams!
The robot sang first.
As soon as the robot began to sing, the atmosphere on the scene went wild. Each of the judges also showed startled expressions. It turned out to be a song in the Chu language!
In contrast to the Qi language…
The Qi language, as a dialect of the Qi Continent, is close to Mandarin, so even non-Qi people can learn it. For example, Qin Continent singer Sun Yaohuo can sing well in the Qi language, and Pufferfish, who performed earlier, can also sing well in the Qi language.
But the Chu language is different!
The Chu language is too difficult to learn, apart from the Chu people who understand it, other people feel like they are listening to a bunch of gibberish. However, the appreciation of music on Blue Star is very high, people will not be dissatisfied simply because they cannot understand, because music and melody are universal. The lyrics of the song embody the creator’s expression of a certain mood or artistic conception. If this can be interpreted, not only will the Chu language not lose points, but it might add points, not to mention the large screen has lyrics and translations!
Moreover…
The audience at the scene includes people from Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan continents, so as soon as the robot’s voice rang out, those audiences from the Chu Continent were already extremely excited, some even stood up!
It was exhilarating!
Everyone loved this unexpected feeling. The robot’s fluent Chu accent clearly showed that he was a king of singing from the Chu Continent. He eventually sang in the language he was most familiar with!
Backstage.
Swan said in a stunned tone: “He turned out to be from the Chu Continent, it seems I guessed wrong before, this is interesting.”
Lin Yuan didn’t say anything.
No wonder the robot acted like a comedian, the Chu people have always liked this slightly exaggerated humour. As for the so-called Chu language…
It’s Japanese.
Each continent on Blue Star has its own dialect, the Qi Continent’s dialect is similar to Earth’s Cantonese, while the Chu Continent’s dialect is similar to Earth’s Japanese. As for the Yan Continent, like the Qin Continent, they mainly speak Mandarin. The native language does not have much to pass on so it did not develop a music style of its own based mainly on the Yan Continent’s dialect.
The song ended!
The whole venue cheered!
Then the fairy started her performance, and her performance was just as stunning. She didn’t choose a special language, but sung in Mandarin. However, what was surprising about her was…
Her voice!
Just like Prince of Lanling, Fairy has different voice lines too. She started the first few lines of the song with a cute voice, which is the voice everyone is familiar with. But when she reached the second verse, she switched to another voice!
There was no cuteness!
Only maturity!
This description might sound strange, but the elf truly brought about a huge contrast. At first, she sang with a playful and adorable voice, which suddenly transformed into a powerful female voice, reminiscent of the contrast between a little girl and a mature woman.
“Another you.”
The mermaid said, looking at Lin Yuan.
The elf didn’t have the Prince of Lanling’s male-female voice, but her transition from cute to sexy was something that not every singer could achieve. Coupled with her powerful singing skills, the contrast was taken to the extreme!
In the end…
The robot lost.
For a match between the King of Singing and a renowned female vocalist, it wouldn’t be a surprise no matter who lost. The performance of the robot had dispelled many doubts about him not being the King of Singing: his performance wasn’t inferior to his opponent’s. The four judges were divided into two factions, and in the end, the robot only lost by four votes. The competition was indeed extremely close.
Team One.
No one said a word.
The competition was brutal.
The following matches were still exciting. When it was the White Swan’s turn, she won almost effortlessly, displaying her impressive vocal talent. Even the judges felt that the White Swan was far from her limits.
At the same time-
The mermaid also demonstrated formidable strength, defeating her opponent from Team Three. The first batch of winners were born: they were the Prince of Lanling, the White Swan, the mermaid, the Pufferfish, and the elf.
There was one more spot left.
The five singers who had lost began to compete fiercely. The most exciting match was between the robot and the samurai. In the end, the robot defeated the samurai and won the revival spot. This presented an interesting situation:
All of Team One advanced!
Only the elf remained in Team Three!
When the robot returned to the resting area, the White Swan unexpectedly got up and hugged him. Then, the robot looked at the Prince of Lanling with a smile and said in Chu language, “I should thank you for this match. The samurai was affected after losing to you, and his performance was flawed. If not for that, I might not have won the revival spot.”
“Really?”
Lin Yuan responded.
Everyone laughed. If the Prince of Lanling impersonated a Chu person and said anything complex in Chu language, they would have believed him. At such a simple level, everyone could understand, especially phrases like “Yameda.”
Lin Yuan: “…”
He didn’t understand why everyone was laughing.
Meanwhile, backstage of Team Three, the members of Team Three one by one said goodbye to the elf. When the samurai was about to go to the stage to unmask, the elf suddenly said, “I will avenge you. I’m still here in our team.”
The samurai paused.
He didn’t say anything and eventually went on to the stage to unmask. When all of Team Three had unmasked, everyone finally knew the identities of these singers:
“Top-tier!”
“Top-tier!”
“Top-tier!”
“King of Singing!”
The first three unmasked were all top-tier singers, while the fourth, the samurai, was as he claimed- a popular King of Singing from the Yan Continent with considerable fame!
“Illaoi!”
“It’s him!”
“Damn, the Prince of Lanling knocked out Illaoi, that’s impressive. Illaoi is a popular King of Singing in the Yan Continent. He just hasn’t released any new songs in the last couple of years, and his voice has changed. I can’t believe we didn’t recognize him!”
“The samurai is him!?”
“Damn, it’s alright if he didn’t unmask, the samurai doesn’t have many fans, but it’s different with Illaoi. Illaoi’s fans must hate the Prince of Lanling now. The Prince of Lanling has provoked another group of people!”
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“He’s practically made the whole world his enemy.”
“Even if the whole world becomes his enemy, it’s fine. You must have read too many fantasy novels. I quite like the Prince of Lanling anyways. Besides, it’s undeniable that he was extraordinary in today’s match. Only the robot and the elf could stand up to him!”
“…”
The team contest came to a close.
The following matches would be between Team Two and Team Four, which had nothing to do with Lin Yuan for the time being. However, the repercussions of this round of competition continued to ferment in the subsequent period…
