I Am A Prodigy Chapter 691 – I Will Win!

Huang Xing finished his song.

Next, it was Feather’s turn to go on the stage.

Feather’s voice was very gentle and had the quality of the Jiangnan’s village locals. The song she sang was Perfect Happiness. It was definitely at the level of an A-list celebrity with the emotions perfectly portrayed.

Add to that her devilish figure, it made her quite the goddess of songs. That being the case, she was definitely not a regular person.

Regardless, she still lost.

After being eliminated, Feather walked off the stage without even thinking of removing her mask.

By that point, the program had turned into a stage for the little fresh meats.

Backstage.

Seeing Feather walking through the door, Sensei Teng could not help but try to console her. “Let it go. They’re depending on their fans, which is also considered a part of their strength.”

“I can’t be bothered to get angry over this. It just feels like a joke if a little fresh meat that knows nothing about music will be getting the title of King of Singers.” Although Feather was still young, her temper was quite fiery.

She was obviously unresigned for losing to Huang Xing. However, there was nothing she could do. Therefore, she did not even take her mask off as that would be way too embarrassing.

In fact, even Sensei Teng felt unresigned, but he was a lot more easy going due to his age.

Meanwhile, Sensei Luo seemed to be the most relaxed despite losing his battle. That was because he lost to Ye Lingchen, which was considered a justified loss.

“I’ve heard many say that we’re in an era for little fresh meats. At first I thought it was just empty claims, but I didn’t expect the entertainment industry to have turned out this way,” Sensei Teng lamented.

“If I knew that the King of Masked Singers will be like this, I wouldn’t have participated!” Feather was infuriated.

By then, it was already the fourth round of the competition.

“It’s another little fresh meat!” Feather gritted her teeth, “Just what are they trying to do?!”

Beneath the stage, the audience once again went wild. None of them would have expected there to be three trending little fresh meats out of the eight contestants!

“That Superman is going to be heavily pressured,” Sensei Luo muttered.

The second part would be using the last place elimination system. With a total of four people and three of them being little fresh meats, Ye Lingchen might very well be placed last right off the bat, fated for elimination.

“I hope he can make a comeback. Otherwise the little fresh meats will be running unrestrained,” Sensei Teng lamented.

Facing the little fresh meats, they really felt defeated as the little fresh meats had a huge number of die hard fans. What could they do?

That afternoon, the first part of the competition came to an end.

The news spread.

King of Masked Singers’ first episode had finally confirmed its finalists. Meanwhile, with the sudden appearance of three little fresh meats, the show’s popularity naturally grew explosively.

On Weibo:

[F*ck! The King of Masked Singers has really done it this time!]

[OMG, it’s Huang Xing, Taotao, and Binbin!]

[Ahhh, if I knew this is the case, I would’ve gone to the live show at all cost! This is just so cool!]

[What are you guys getting excited about? It’s a singing show. What are the little fresh meats doing there?]

[Damn, what happened to the masked theme? Those little fresh meats are really full of drama.]

[Even Sensei Teng lost to a little fresh meat. Hehehe, hahahaha…]

[I feel sorry for those singers that depend on their skills and efforts.]

[I’m just curious what would happen to that one remaining singer.]

[Yeah. Next will be the elimination match . I’m sure he’ll be the first to be eliminated against three little fresh meats.]

[Sigh, what kind of world are we in? I feel that Superman is really skilled.]

[That’s right. Superman sang so well. I’m still playing Love Story in Guangdong on repeat. Too bad he’s up against little fresh meats.]

[Is it a guaranteed victory for little fresh meat? I’m going to support Superman with everything I have. Superman will win!]

Within Zhang Tao’s fans’ chat group:

[Ahhh, Taotao got in. I’ve missed the first round. I’ll definitely go support the next round!]

[My Taotao will win first place for sure!]

[Apart from Taotao, I like Huang Xing and Binbin as well. I’ll start by eliminating that Superman.]

[Hahaha, you’re right. I don’t know who he is, but he’s definitely no match for my Taotao in terms of looks.]

Within Huang Xing’s fans’ chat group:

[That Superman is insignificant and won’t be an issue.]

[That’s right. Our true opponent is Zhang Tao and Binbin.]

[All the best, Huang Xing! You’re the best! You will win!]

Although the judges and special guests could not say anything as they like on the show, they were still able to discuss the matter privately.

Andy Lau, “I’m confused. Why are the little fresh meats so popular? Their singing is just mediocre.”

Jay Chou, “This is the era of exposure. They don’t need any real skills, but rely heavily on their exposure instead, that is to say, their fans!”

Feng Xiaoxing chimed in, “It’s no longer like before. Nowadays, skills would have to give way to popularity. As long as you’re famous, everything is possible.”

“That’s right. I’ve heard of a beauty pageant somewhere that managed to select a hideous champion purely with a huge number of supporters.”

“In our current society, people are just going after popularity. They would even sell their souls in order to gain instant fame.”

“Sigh, that Superman is quite skilled and is quite young. It would be a shame if he’s eliminated.”

“I hope he can win, but against the little fresh meat…sigh…”

Chen Xiaoyan bit her lip and stayed silent. She took out her phone and sent a message to Ye Lingchen. [All the best. I believe in you!]

She could not look at Ye Lingchen directly as she was worried about attracting attention from others.

Very soon, she received a reply, [I will win!]

At the same time, Ye Lingchen put his phone away and looked at Su Mo with her depressed expression. He could not help but laugh. “Why the long face?”

“How can you still laugh?” Su Mo pouted. “Those skilled singers getting eliminated must feel very frustrated now. I don’t feel good about it either. Stop laughing! What’s your plan for tomorrow?”

“Me?” Ye Lingchen laughed. “It’s just some little fresh meat. It’s nothing to worry about. I’ve crushed quite a number of them.”

Thinking back, ever since he first stepped foot in the entertainment industry, he had been crushing little fresh meats along the way. From Wu Han to the Stick Nation’s Hyun-Min Kim. Just three little fresh meats were nothing to him.

Moreover, he would not only crush them here. When Drawing Sword premiers, he would crush them again!

“Hmph, braggart!” Su Mo retorted. She then wiped her tears and asked eagerly, “Can you really win?”

“Yes!”

…

After that, Ye Lingchen met with the other four eliminated contestants backstage. They had a disappointed look on their faces. Only Sensei Luo, who lost to Ye Lingchen, could maintain a smile as he cheered Ye Lingchen on, “Superman kiddo, don’t stress yourself out. Give it your best shot tomorrow and don’t let music down!”

Ye Lingchen nodded, “Yes, Sensei Luo. I’ll do my best!”

Sensei Teng also gave Ye Lingchen a pat on the shoulder. “Winning or losing is not the issue. Don’t let your heart for music be shaken. We’re old and require you youngsters to take over. You must help keep good music alive!”

Meanwhile, Miss Feather stated in a direct manner, “I’m pissed for losing to those little fresh meats. I hope you can avenge me and help our music fight for its place!”
