The lights reignited.
The audience screamed with excitement!
The camera panned to the judges' panel, where Yin Na stood on her chair, her face beaded with sweat as she waved her hands wildly!
"Dark Night Rabbit! Dark Night Rabbit!"
Her rhythmic shouts prompted many in the audience to join in.
Suddenly, deafening cheers erupted throughout the venue!
"Dark Night Rabbit!"
"Dark Night Rabbit!"
"Dark Night Rabbit! Dark Night Rabbit!"
Even the bullet comments on the livestream began to flood the screen.
The camera circled Yin Na, portraying her as Dark Night Rabbit's most devoted fan, offering her highest adoration to the stage!
From initial skepticism and disdain, Yin Na gradually transformed into Dark Night Rabbit's most loyal fan.
To many, it seemed somewhat dramatic, but was it not also a reflection of many viewers?
At first, everyone believed Dark Night Rabbit would only rely on his versatile vocal tones to sing songs with extreme contrasts. Then, step by step, he proved himself, revealing that his versatile timbre was merely a small part of his singing prowess.
Whether it was breath control, stage presence, or emotional depth, Dark Night Rabbit was impeccably brilliant.
He had won everyone's admiration with his sheer strength!
"Indeed, Dark Night Rabbit is too damn amazing. He hasn't met a single opponent on this journey."
"If Dark Night Rabbit hadn't had such a powerful performance this episode, the loser bracket would have been the most exciting."
"The loser bracket was truly thrilling. Face-less Knight and Wolf Fang went all out, it was terrifying!"
"But thinking about it, if Dark Night Rabbit were in the loser bracket, he'd still be the strongest."
Amidst the discussions in the bullet comments.
The show was drawing to a close.
Undoubtedly, Dark Night Rabbit had once again secured the title of King of Singers.
Would he win the championship with a perfect record, or would he stumble in the final two episodes?
The anticipation for the upcoming matches had already been built up significantly.
Moreover, there were contestants rumored to be capable of being a "Song God" but were not nominated, and they had yet to appear.
The suspense for the final two episodes remained quite high.
...
After the show concluded.
Liu Yi suddenly posted on Weibo.
It was a screenshot.
The screenshot showed Shen Jinghong kneeling on stage, with Mo Yan reaching out to help him.
He captioned it, "Skill ultimately cannot compare to the deep bond between master and disciple. But it's fine, no competition is smooth sailing all the way..."
His intention was quite clear: to mock Mo Yan for willingly abandoning fairness for Shen Jinghong.
His post instantly ignited a heated discussion among netizens.
"Here we go, he's starting his passive-aggressive attacks!"
"Shen Jinghong's greatest strength isn't his singing, he's a producer."
"I don't think Mo Yan choosing Shen Jinghong is a problem. Some people are just making a big deal out of nothing, and it didn't even affect the outcome of the competition."
As for Liu Yi, Mo Yan's fans knew him as an ungrateful person, so they couldn't stand his insidious remarks.
However, in this world, there are always people who stand on the moral high ground.
"If you make a mistake, you make a mistake. As a judge, Mo Yan's most important responsibility is fairness and impartiality. He's always been like that, his persona has completely collapsed this time."
"Exactly. When Liu Yi won against Shen Jinghong, Mo Yan chose Shen Jinghong. Isn't this slapping Liu Yi in the face? What would the other contestants think?"
"Mo Yan has disappointed me greatly. I used to think he was a highly respected elder, but I never expected him to do something so unfair."
Mo Yan had lived a life with no blemishes.
He was the moral benchmark of the Chinese music scene.
Now that the benchmark was gone, many seized the opportunity to showcase their own morality.
It was a case of "everyone attacks a falling wall," and although it hadn't reached that point, the signs were already there.
However, Mo Yan still had a significant number of loyal fans, and those who supported him and those who cursed him were in a fierce argument.
"I'm so angry! This Liu Yi is truly detestable!" Lin Yanyu said, her face flushing red as she looked at Weibo.
"Anyone would try to ride on this kind of traffic," Su Yu said with a slight smile.
Mo Yan's traffic was actually very substantial. On the surface, it might not compare to Ting Yu's traffic now, but his fans were middle-aged individuals who had already started families and established careers. These people might not be active online usually, but they were once Mo Yan's most loyal fans.
Moreover, they possessed high purchasing power, which was also why Mo Yan's songs had always sold well.
"I don't think Teacher Mo Yan deserves this kind of public opinion. He's genuinely a good person, always taking care of juniors. And Liu Yi is still leveraging Teacher Mo Yan's name, he's truly not human," Lin Yanyu said, sounding somewhat indignant.
"He really doesn't seem human," Su Yu agreed with a nod.
Regardless of anything else, Mo Yan had a master-disciple relationship with Liu Yi.
To kick someone when they're down like this was too much.
"Su Su, I'll be performing in the next episode..." Lin Yanyu suddenly said.
Su Yu was startled for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face: "My lady, do you want to go eliminate him?"
He was starting to realize that his little wife had a bit of a righteous indignation about her.
But this was indeed Lin Yanyu's personality.
"Are there any super difficult songs?" Lin Yanyu seemed eager.
It appeared she genuinely had that idea.
"Didn't you say you'd sing other people's songs?" Su Yu asked with a smile.
Earlier, when Su Yu prepared songs for her, she said she would sing Su Yu's songs, and that she was a white rabbit. Anyone with eyes could see that these two were affiliated.
Therefore, to reduce the possibility of her identity being exposed, Lin Yanyu voluntarily offered to alter her vocal tone and sing classic songs.
However, Su Yu felt that as long as she didn't reveal her original vocal tone, it didn't matter if she sang his songs.
Even if someone suspected something, it would only be suspicion.
The competition was nearing its end, so even if her identity was guessed, what difference would it make?
"I'll sing someone else's song for my first performance, and then yours for the second," Lin Yanyu said after biting her lip in thought.
"That's risky," Su Yu shook his head.
While Lin Yanyu's singing skills were top-tier, Wolf Fang was also on a similar level. If they were at the same level, it would come down to who handled the details better. And Lin Yanyu, in terms of details, would definitely not be as experienced as Wolf Fang. Su Yu didn't want Lin Yanyu to go head-to-head with Wolf Fang and be eliminated early, revealing her identity.
That would truly expose everything.
"Then... okay," Lin Yanyu relented.
If she revealed her identity, Su Yu's would be exposed too.
After all, they were both rabbits, and it was natural for people to connect them.
"Actually, it's not impossible..." At this moment, Su Yu suddenly thought of something.
"Really? How? I'll do whatever you say!" Lin Yanyu's interest was immediately piqued.
"For your first song, sing a song with a huge contrast. Don't aim for a perfect performance. This way, you can eliminate the audience's suspicion of us, enter the loser bracket, and then sing the song I gave you."
"Got it! No problem!"
"But the prerequisite is that I have to be drawn into the same group as Wolf Fang, or you get drawn into Wolf Fang's group and I go to the loser bracket."
"No, you've been the King of Singers for so many consecutive episodes. We can't jeopardize that for such a minor issue."
Although Lin Yanyu wanted to avenge Mo Yan, she was still considerate of the bigger picture.
Su Yu being the King of Singers was the most important thing. If there was an opportunity to help, she would definitely do it; if not, she wouldn't.
"Then let's prepare for it. If Wolf Fang happens to encounter you, it's just his bad luck. If not, then it's fine," Lin Yanyu said inexplicably after some thought.
"Alright," Su Yu nodded.
That was the only way. Furthermore, to better conceal their identities and to give Lin Yanyu the capital to defeat Wolf Fang.
Su Yu still had some preparations to make. At this moment, his God-tier Teaching skill would be very useful.
With that in mind, he pulled Lin Yanyu towards the bedroom: "Come, follow me into the room."
"In broad daylight, what are we going in there for?"
"What else? Of course, to train you."
"Ah? I... Oh..."
