Chapter 525: Chapter 501 Live Broadcast (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Phantom Wing)_1


    Yes!


    The teampetition ising!


    For nearly four months, the audience has been watching four teams’ positioning matches in a row, and they can’t wait for the legendary teampetition!


    Yes.


    When the fourth team’s battle ended, the topic of discussion on the inte was all about the next teampetition—


    “A battle of the strong!”


    “Only one person is eliminated in the positioning match, so many singers haven’t revealed their trump cards. But the teampetition is different, all thepetitors are the elites selected by the teams, anyone who underestimates their opponent may get eliminated early.”


    “Interesting!”


    “The first team’s opponent turns out to be the third team, and Prince of Lanling just happens to be in the first team, which means Prince of Lanling will have to face the anger of the third team next!”<div>


    “Hahaha!”


    “Enemies meet in narrow paths, anyone from the third team who encounters Prince of Lanling will probably muster all their strength to fight him, wishing to cram even eggs…”


    “Don’t be vulgar.”


    “But you’re right, Prince of Lanling’s criticisms of the third team over the past few episodes certainly offended their singers. When they meet next time, it’s bound to be an explosive situation!”


    “…”


    The audience’s anticipation for the teampetition far surpasses that for the positioning matches. Due to some well-known reasons, the positioning matches have a certain degree of performance, but thepetitive aspect is not strong enough.


    Seemingly to further ignite everyone’s enthusiasm.


    The program team conducted a support rate survey.


    All twenty singers from the four teams appeared on the support rate survey list, and the current top-ranked singer of support is—


    Overlord!


    This seems to be an unsurprising matter, because Overlord is the only singer who has won first ce four times, and his performance on the show is the most dominant.


    Second ce is Swan!


    Although Swan’s performance in the show is not dominant, both the judges and the audience seem to agree that Swan has not yet brought out his real strength.


    In third ce is Lone Wolf.


    Lone Wolf is a singer from the second team. He is a big name who has won the first ce for three consecutive times. Although everyone’s attention was on the fish fight for favor when the second team’spetition was broadcasted, Lone Wolf’s strength was also recognized by the audience.


    The fourth ce is Elf.


    Elf is the mysterious singer in the third team that Prince of Lanling rated as a mediocre pop diva. Because of her quirky personality, she has won the affection of many viewers. When Prince of Lanling criticized Elf, he received a lot of bacsh and vituperation.


    In fifth ce is Samurai.


    Still a singer from the third team, he is generally considered to be a mysterious King of Singing. He has a simr personality to Prince of Lanling and is very straightforward in his speech and demeanor. Netizens rated him as “the most straightforward man in The Masked Singer”.


    In sixth ce is Revenge Goddess.


    There are many spections about Revenge Goddess being Yuan Xi, but this has not been confirmed. However, it is certain that Revenge Goddess possesses the strength of a diva.


    In seventh ce is Robot…


    Prince of Lanling, who is at the center of the show’s topic, ranks tenth. Although Prince of Lanling has also won first ce twice, his most convincingpetition seems to be only “Laughing at the Sea”. The outside world’s judgment of Prince of Lanling’s strength tends to be a top-tier singer, so this ranking is still pretty much urate.


    Of course.


    This ranking is only voted byizens and contains a lot of personal preferences. So, the real ranking still depends on thepetition afterwards.


    …


    No matter how theizens rank, the real test of thepetition wille from their performance. Over the next few days, the singers went to the music hall for rehearsal before thepetition. Lin Yuan was no exception. The reason for going to the venue in advance is mainly because each person is rehearsing more than one song.


    Finally!


    The time came to April 7th, the day when “The Masked Singer” teampetition started. To prevent the singers from being disturbed, everyone entered the music hall from the enclosed underground parking lot. The live broadcast hasn’t started yet, but shooting is already underway. When the live broadcast starts, these shots will be inserted into the content.


    “Prince of Lanling.”


    Seeing Prince of Lanling again, Tongtong’s expression was somewhatplicated: “Today is the live broadcast, you need to be careful. The editing team is a little nervous. If there are any mistakes, we might not have enough time to edit.”


    Lin Yuan: “Okay.”


    When passing through the corridor, Lin Yuan encountered several singers from the third team. Several gazes instantly focused on Lin Yuan, seemingly eager to try. Even Rabbit, a rtively gentle singer from the third team, eyed Prince of Lanling several times, which was quite intriguing.


    Tongtong was helpless.


    She had watched the third team’s show and knew that Prince of Lanling’sments on the third team had offended the whole team. These looks were actually dering war on Prince of Lanling.


    They entered the dressing room.


    This dressing room is collective in nature, with five seats in total, all prepared for the singers in the first team. When Lin Yuan arrived, he already saw four singers including Swan and Robot in the room.


    “Prince of Lanling!”


    Robot started joking right off the bat: “Why did you go and be a specialmentator for the third team? Now, I guess the third team sees you as a thorn in their side.”


    Everyoneughed.


    Swan gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up, and Pufferfish, who hadn’t spoken much at the side, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Lin Yuan timidly and said:


    “Good luck…”


    Lin Yuan nodded.


    At this time, Director Tong Shuwen rushed over, hurriedly said: “I suppose you all know today’s rules, right? The first team and the third team will draw lots for opponents, so you won’tpete against your own team.”


    Everyone nodded.


    Tong Shuwen continued: “In each showdown, the winner advances directly, while the five loserspete again, and only one of them can advance along with the winner.”


    “Okay.”


    Everyone was serious.


    The elimination rate of the team match is too high, only six of ten people can advance. If Lin Yuan loses the first match, he will have topete with other singers who lost their one-on-one matches for the only opportunity to revive.


    How troublesome.


    So everyone ns to bring out a song with enough persuasiveness for the first match, to prevent themselves from getting involved in the fiercepetition for the revival opportunityter.


    Tong Shuwen leaves.


    The drawing group arrives.


    People nce at each other, either drawing by themselves or letting assistants arranged by the program do it. Tongtong turns to look at Lin Yuan: “I always draw bad rings. If I draw a King of Singing for you, it would be a great mistake. You’d better draw by yourself.”


    “I believe you.”


    Lin Yuan encourages Tongtong.


    Mainly because he’s toozy to move.


    Tongtong shakes her head vigorously. She dares not draw lots anymore. However, it seems that there’s no need for her to do it because the other four singers had already drawn their lots, revealing their opponents.


    Swan vs Tiger@@novelbin@@


    Robot vs Elf


    Mermaid vs Rabbit


    Pufferfish vs Butterfly


    This leaves the Prince of Lanling’s opponent rather evident, it could only be thest yet undrawn contestant from the third team-


    Samurai!


    As Tongtong sees this draw, she screams like a mole rat. If she had known, she too would have drawn earlier. She has left the Prince of Lanling with a King of Singing level opponent, Samurai!


    Such a bad draw!


    With the appearance of the draw result, the mood of the singers became subtly different, mostly quite rxed. Only the Robot and Prince of Lanling, their opponents were a bit tough. The Robot was rtively okay, at least it was King of Singing vs King of Singing.


    But the Prince of Lanling…


    However, nobody voiced it out.


    Because they couldn’t. After all, not everyone is like the Prince of Lanling whocks emotional intelligence. If theyfort the Prince of Lanling, wouldn’t they indirectly admit that the Prince of Lanling is not as good as the Samurai?


    …


    Compared to the silence of the first team, the third team was having a heated conversation. “They have started drawing lots over there. I’m hoping to draw the Prince of Lanling!” the Tiger eximed excitedly.


    “Me too!”


    “Same here!”


    The Rabbit quietly chimes in. Not out of sheer hatred, but his fear of being up against the Robot or Swan—these two bosses of the first team.


    “Me too!”


    Even the Elf seems to want a match against the Prince of Lanling. It’s at this moment that the Samurai quietly says, “The Prince of Lanling is mine.”


    Impressive!


    Everyone on the third team wants to face the Prince of Lanling because his grudge value is maxed out. This even triggered someughter among the cameramen. It’s at this point that Tong Shuwenes over and announces the result: “The first match is Mermaid vs Rabbit, the second match is the Prince of Lanling vs…”


    Everyone looks up simultaneously.


    Tong Shuwen: “Samurai!”


    The Samurai’s eyes suddenly sharpen, he can’t help but stand up and swing his fist. The others give off unintentional reactions as Tong Shuwen continues with her announcements.


    “I’m screwed.”


    After Tong Shuwen swiftly leaves, the singer posing as Tigerments: “Robot is too strong. There’s basically no hope of winning if you’re up against him. But it doesn’t matter if I lose, the Samurai must win!”


    “I’m not rxed either.”


    The Elf shrugs: “If the opponent is a Robot, we’ll have to give it our all. Let’s all do our best!”


    “Fight on!”


    The third team encourages each other.


    But in the end, everyone’s eyes are still on Samurai. Everyone is annoyed with the Prince of Lanling. Everyone on the third team wants the Samurai to crush the Prince of Lanling in a massacre!


    Just then-


    The television on the wall starts to broadcast the live feed from the stage, and the host Anhong has already walked onto the stage.


    The broadcast begins!


    At the same time, countless audiences sitting in front of theirputers or televisions are also extremely excited, sending out barrages ofments-


    “It’s starting!”


    “I’m so excited!”


    “Who’speting with whom?”


    “Live broadcasts are the best!”


    “Looking forward to the Prince of Lanling’s performance!”


    “Will the Prince of Lanling unveil himself?”


    “I wonder if the Kings of Singing from both sides will face each other. It would be fun if they do. Maybe a big shot will be eliminated in this round!”


    “…”


    Back at Lin Yuan’s house, Lin Xuan, Lin Yao, and their mother are all staring intently at the television broadcasting the live show!
