Chapter 230

"Avenger!"

"Watching the show tonight, I was waiting for Avenger!"

"Guo Yu's performance is what I'm looking forward to most!"

"Ahhhhh, I'm so excited! I don't know how many years it's been since I heard Guo Yu live!"

"Shout it out in advance, Guo Yu is awesome!"

"Guo Yu is on stage, the result of this episode is already a foregone conclusion, but I'm still looking forward to it!"

"I wonder what song Heavenly King Guo will sing?"

"..."

The barrage of comments was scrolling frantically.

The real deal had finally arrived!

Countless viewers were waiting for this moment; they were looking forward to Guo Yu's stage, looking forward to the clash between Guo Yu and Ruthless the Great.

At this moment.

The emotions of all the viewers were ignited.

And at the scene, the audience and professional judges were even crazier.

"Guo Yu!"

"Guo Yu!"

"Guo Yu!"

"..."

The voices were uniform; a thousand audience members plus many professional judges shouted loudly, the sound echoing throughout the entire studio.

Even the celebrity guests were very excited.

For countless musicians, Heavenly King Guo Yu was a legendary figure.

Only the Master Composer Shen Xiao was very calm.

It was true that Guo Yu was a Heavenly King, but he was a Master Composer.

There were many singers in the music scene with good vocal conditions and strong singing skills, but there were only so many Master Composers.

Without Master Composers, these Heavenly Kings and Queens couldn't sing excellent songs; this was why You Mingyue were called the Great Demon Kings of the music scene, because they not only had online singing skills but could also compose, write lyrics, and arrange music themselves, making them true all-around musicians in the music scene.

According to the status in the music scene, Master Composers were half a step higher than Heavenly Kings and Queens.

On stage.

Avenger had already stepped onto the stage.

"Welcome, Teacher Avenger," said host Zhao Yong.

"Thank you." Guo Yu appeared very polite, his voice having the non-standard Mandarin common among veteran Xiangjiang artists, similar to Zha Zha Hui's "If you're a brother, come and slash me."

"Anything you want to say tonight?"

Guo Yu brought the microphone close to his mouth: "It's been a long time since I sang, I hope my stage can be liked by everyone, if I can win the championship of this episode, that would be even better, it would be so embarrassing otherwise... haha..."

He spoke with great tact.

The audience also laughed along.

Backstage lounge.

Su Xue looked at the television on the wall, clenched her fists, and cursed in a low voice: "Hypocrite."

After guessing that You Mingyue was Ruthless the Great, her heart had completely leaned toward Ruthless the Great; after all, they were her beloved friends and sisters!

Besides, Su Xue had heard that Guo Yu's recent financial situation was worrying.

It was obvious that this person came to the masked stage wanting to step on Ruthless the Great to get ahead, so he could make money better.

Those were the only tricks in the industry; who could hide anything from whom?

This was the reason she cursed Guo Yu as a hypocrite.

Beside her.

Su Xue's temporary manager heard what she said and instantly widened his eyes, incredibly shocked.

My god! How could Red Dandelion dare to say that about Guo Yu?

Could it be that she had a grudge against Guo Yu?

Big news! Absolutely big news!

He nodded to the live band, and the prelude sounded.

At the same time.

The song information appeared on the screen.

In fact.

For this song, just by hearing the prelude, the audience knew which song it was.

It was too famous.

"It's 'Never Left'."

"Guo Yu's signature song!"

"This one is a sure win!"

"It's impossible to lose even with a dragon riding on your face!"

"..."

On stage, Avenger began to sing.

Off stage, many audience members sang along with his voice.

Many viewers watching the live stream were doing the same.

This song had a very wide reach and was a must-sing song for many people entering KTV.

It was a tear-jerking love song.

It started slow, then progressed layer by layer, and finally ended with a high note, completely exploding the emotions in a heart-wrenching way.

Avenger brought out all his strength, and his Heavenly King-level power was thoroughly unleashed.

He couldn't lose this episode!

Not winning the championship was equivalent to failure!

After Avenger finished the song, many audience members wiped their tears with tissues.

Boom!

The whole place was boiling!

The audience was excited, shocked, and their reactions were extremely exaggerated!

"My god!"

"As expected of Heavenly King Guo!"

"The final high note was too strong, he used his real voice to hit it!"

"You, the Heavenly King, return and are still the Heavenly King!"

"Guo Yu: Everyone else kneel down and listen to me sing!"

"Listened until I cried, too moving!"

"Is this the strength of a veteran Heavenly King? Terrifying!"

"Just a moment ago I thought Ruthless the Great had a chance, after all, she is Zhou Ru from the national team, strong and powerful, but after hearing Guo Yu's performance, I'm suddenly not sure anymore!"

"Holy crap!"

"Too strong!"

"Although I support Ruthless, I have to admit, Guo Yu is truly a freak!"

"Ruthless the Great: Danger!"

"Not danger, it's definitely not a match!"

"In today's music scene, I'm afraid only You Mingyue appearing in person could fight Guo Yu."

"Guo Yu's blade is not old!"

"..."

At the scene and in thousands of households across China, at this very moment, countless viewers were discussing frantically!

Countless musicians were dumbfounded.

In the end, he received 970 votes.

Only 30 votes away from the full 1, 00.

Terrifying!

This was the highest vote count received by a masked singer since "Masked Singer" began airing, breaking the record for the highest vote count set by Ruthless the Great in the previous episode!

At this moment.

Countless Guo Yu fans were excited, even shouting frantically:

"It's settled, completely settled, only 30 votes away from 1, 00! How can Ruthless the Great win?"

"The pressure is on Ruthless the Great."

"The camera is on her, still no reaction, it seems she doesn't know the severity of the situation yet."

"Just admit defeat, losing to Heavenly King Guo is something you can brag about for a lifetime."

"What can Ruthless use to surpass this vote count?"

"Guo Yu can open the champagne to celebrate!"

"..."

The audience was very certain!

Guo Yu receiving 970 votes and taking the championship for this episode was definitely a done deal.

In the barrage area,

Many of Ruthless's fans were speaking up for her, while at the same time, worrying for her.

"Ruthless, come on."

"I support you."

"Zhou Ru... believe in yourself, you can do it!"

"Even if you lose, it's nothing, after all, the opponent is a Heavenly King."

"Pfft, what kind of crow's mouth are you? The competition hasn't even started, and you're already saying my Great Emperor lost?"

"I don't see any hope of winning."

"Wife, come on! I know she's a married woman, but I just like this type."

"You scoundrel, draw your sword."

"..."

"Masked Singer 3" backstage studio.

General Director Xu Xiangdong was responsible for on-site coordination, and occasionally looked at the audience's barrage.

At this moment, his eyes were flashing with brilliance.

"Guo Yu is a sure win? Not necessarily!"

He knew Ruthless the Great was You Mingyue, but the reason he said this wasn't because of their identity.

After all, for an opponent like Guo Yu, even if You Mingyue encountered him, she would need to be cautious to have a chance of winning.

It was because he had heard Ruthless the Great's rehearsal, heard that song called "Jiu'er"...

It was a song that, hours after he finished listening to it, still made him feel lit, feel explosive, and deeply shocked!

Another signature song of You Mingyue was about to be born!

Guo Yu?

Could he slaughter the charts in last year's December music scene battle of the gods?

Probably not.

But You Mingyue plus this song they created would definitely be able to do it!

Xu Xiangdong could be certain!

"All teams get ready, nuclear energy ahead!" He couldn't help but shout to other staff members through his headset.

At the same time.

In the singer's backstage lounge.

Su Xue was sweating for You Mingyue, very nervous.

Although she had great confidence in that pair of twins, the vote count for Guo Yu's song was simply too high.

It might not be possible to win.

"Come on." Su Xue prayed secretly in her heart.

Amidst the reactions of all parties, Ruthless the Great stepped toward the stage step by step.

On her face was still that ghost mask that looked like it was laughing and crying; inside, she wore a red ancient-style Hanfu, and outside, she wore a long red cape, her aura still fully unleashed as she walked.

Only this time, she didn't put on the hood of the cape, but let her soft, waterfall-like hair naturally fall behind her back, letting the evening breeze blow through her hair.

Wearing a ghost mask, robes fluttering, hair flying... this was Ruthless.

At this moment.

Swish, swish, swish!

All eyes at the scene and in front of the live stream were fixed on her.

At the same time.

Countless people were discussing.

Many audience members thought she was in bad shape and couldn't beat Avenger.

Even the fans who supported Ruthless the Great didn't have much confidence.

Soon.

Ruthless the Great stood in the center of the stage.

The live band was also ready.

At this time.

The camera gave a shot to the live band.

Generally speaking, because the protagonist of such music variety shows is the singing singer, they wouldn't give too many shots to the live band, but here, the camera did.

And it even gave a close-up to one of the musicians and one of the instruments.

Just a suona held in that musician's hand!

For fear that the audience wouldn't see it clearly, the camera stayed on this instrument for at least five seconds!

Suona?

Some audience members with good memories vaguely remembered that at the beginning of this episode, in the shots given to the live band, there was no such musician, nor this instrument!

Suddenly, many people were very surprised.

The barrage began to surge.

"｀ ～Holy crap! Why is there a suona?"

"Never expected to see this underworld instrument on the masked stage."

"What kind of song could possibly use a suona, I'm very curious."

"Remember the last time I heard the sound of a suona, it was You Mingyue's song 'Xi'."

"Me too, You Mingyue's use of the suona is simply amazing."

"Once the suona comes out, it's either joy or sorrow! Who does Ruthless the Great want to send off?"

"Anyway, it won't send me off, I'm sure!"

"Good guy, even the hooligan instrument is out! But I feel Ruthless can't beat the suona."

"Suona: Other instruments and singers move aside, I am the protagonist."

"..."

At the scene.

The audience and professional judges off stage were also discussing one after another.

But it didn't affect Xu Mingyue.

She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Three seconds later.

Xu Mingyue opened her eyes and nodded to the live band.

Immediately.
