The live broadcast continued.
Huang Xing was the first to leave the stage. Before the audience could express their emotions, the second round of the Masked King battle was about to begin.
Another person would be eliminated in the second round, which would also determine which two would enter the finals. The drawing of lots had begun.
Who would be left? Who would be left in the end?
Who would have the chance to fight for the title of King of Masked Singers?
It was all up to this round.
Backstage, the staff brought out the balls that represented the order of appearance.
Many people in the live audience and in front of the live broadcast were watching nervously.
Zhang Tao drew one.
Binbin took one.
Ye Lingchen casually took the remaining one.
Pushing away the paper balls in the balls, the order of appearance had been decided.
Ye Lingchen was the first.
Binbin was the second.
Zhang Tao was the last.
Seeing this result, Zhang Tao and Binbin looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes. They breathed a sigh of relief.
The previous round had also shocked them greatly. It immediately woke them up from their pride as little fresh meats. That was a threatening opponent.
The eliminated person was not Superman. That was beyond their expectations and was hard to understand. With their fan base, they should have been invincible.
However, Ye Lingchen was the first to fight. That meant that Ye Lingchen's advantage from the previous round would be gone. It was obvious that he had no hope of competing with them, so they could rest assured.
'Since we're here on this stage, the champion must be chosen from the little fresh meats. That's how it should be.'
Ye Lingchen shrugged as if he did not care. His face was expressionless in the camera.
Sensei Teng frowned slightly. "Oh no, this is the worst order."
"Going first. That's not good. The order of appearance still has a great impact on the voting."
Sensei Luo let out a long sigh. "The Heavens aren't on our side, but it's good enough to eliminate a little fresh meats. At least we've gotten back at them."
Su Mo bit her lip, looked at Ye Lingchen in front of her, and clenched her fists. "Mr. Superman, all the best!"
"Mm." Ye Lingchen nodded, then handed her another score. "Send it to the accompaniment teacher."
Su Mo's mouth opened slightly, surprised and happy. 'That … that's another original?!'
Then, he hurriedly sent it over.
This scene was seen by many. That was because Su Mo would always run over there before every competition. Moreover, it was either an adaptation or an original work. Hence, this time, she became the center of attention. There were even cameras following her.
"Damn, it can't be another new song, right?"
"So awesome? Are you for real?"
"At least the score is new. This Superman is too generous."
"I'm looking forward to it. If it really is, I don't mind supporting him."
…
There was some commotion in the crowd, and the emcee, Luo Sisi, walked onto the stage. "Now, let's move on to the second performance."
All eyes were on him.
Countless people held their breaths.
The lights flickered and focused on the door on the stage.
The door opened and a figure slowly walked out.
"Pa pa pa."
The applause was still not as good as the little fresh meats, but it was much better than before. Many people were looking at Ye Lingchen with complicated gazes.
Anticipation, support, contempt, and all sorts of other emotions were present.
The background music started to play.
It was an ethereal voice with a gentle melody. It was another new song!
Although they had their guesses, everyone still looked at Ye Lingchen on the stage in shock. They suddenly realized that Ye Lingchen's eyes were shining under the mask. It was so dazzling, and at the same time, he had a free and easy temperament.
The microphone was placed by his mouth. All of a sudden, his voice came out of nowhere, as though it came from heaven!
"I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword
"To see the prosperity of the world
"The heart of youth is always frivolous
"Now you're home …"
His open-minded voice was extremely infectious, causing everyone's heart to race. The opening was the climax.
Lau Tianwang was stunned!
Jay Chou was stunned!
Everyone was stunned!
That —
That song —
Ye Lingchen looked at everyone and continued to sing.
"The girl who once made your heart ache
"Now there's no trace of her
"Love always makes you yearn
"And feel troubled
"Once you were covered in wounds …"
Suddenly, her voice became louder, "Di!
li
li
li
Di

den
"Da …"
Ye Lingchen's voice echoed in the ears of everyone on the stage and in the livestream. Although there were no lyrics, it made everyone's scalp go numb and their blood flow quickened.
A young man stood up involuntarily.
Following that, another young man stood up as well.
Following that, more and more people stood up one after another, staring at Ye Lingchen with burning eyes.
Ye Lingchen's voice became gentle again.
"Every time I'm sad,
"Looking at the sea alone
"Always thinking of walking beside me
"Friends on the road
"How many are healing …"
If it was said that many young people could not understand the previous song, then this song resonated with many young people.
Who had never dreamed of traveling the world with a sword? Who had never had a girl who made their heart ache? In the end, she was beaten black and blue by reality, licking her wounds alone?
As for the part in the middle without lyrics, it was more like an unyielding struggle, stirring the blood of countless people.
"Let's drink this cup of wine
"A real man's heart is like the sea
"Experiencing life's vicissitudes
"The warmth and coldness of the world
"This smile is warm and innocent."
At the end, the melody was still very plain.
However, it was like a ball of fire that ignited everyone's heart, especially the boys. They could not help but clench their fists, their eyes filled with tears.
"Even after going through so much, even if there is so much helplessness, our hearts are still broad. We will never forget our original intentions, we will still repay the world with beauty!"
The song ended, but the audience in front of the livestream was in an uproar.
Boom!
Everyone raised their right hands, as if they were holding a wine cup in their hands.
The judges and guests also stood up.
Chen Xiaoyan's eyes were brimming with tears!
Many people had tears streaming down their cheeks.
The music stopped.
The accompaniment stopped.
One second.
Two seconds.
Ye Lingchen looked at the crowd, raised his right hand, and said softly, "Let's drink this cup of wine."
"Cheers!" Everyone said at the same time.
The livestream was also flooded with messages.
[Cheers!]
[Superman … cheers!]
[Hahaha, this song sings my heart. It's true. I suddenly want to lead a befuddled life!]
[Sob sob sob, the singing is too good. The previous song made my eyes red from crying, but this one made my eyes swollen from crying!]
[This song sings my dream. When I heard the beginning, I couldn't stop my tears from falling.]
Backstage.
The singers who were previously eliminated were applauding. Zhang Tao and Binbin were also clapping.
"Amazing."
"Great song!"
They said to the livestream camera.
At this moment, their hearts were already in a state of turmoil.
Was this true strength?
It was too strong!
There was no need for any tricks, no need to fish in troubled waters. It was purely based on strength!
