Chapter 497

And now.

The Ruthless One actually evaluated her own performance of "Jiu'er" just now as merely "average"...

As long as one isn't blind or deaf, anyone could hear that "Jiu'er" by The Ruthless One was absolutely a masterpiece-level song, and the stage was a god-tier performance.

It could never be described as "average."

So, the words she said just now were quite intriguing.

Humblebragging?

Irony?

Perhaps both!

It was almost equivalent to a slap across Guo Yu's face.

Fine.

You say my singing is average.

Then what does that make you, whose performance just now couldn't compare to mine?

Not even average?

"Holy crap!"

"The Ruthless One is so savage!"

"Zhou Ru is awesome!"

"You say I'm average? Yes, that's right, I also think I'm very average. Hahahaha, I wonder how big the psychological shadow area is for Heavenly King Guo!"

"No need to say more, it must be huge. This move by The Ruthless One is basically reflecting magic."

"Now the pressure is back on Guo Yu."

"This isn't 'Jiu'er sending you to the distance,' it's clearly The Ruthless One sending Guo Yu to the distance!"

"The Ruthless One is a veteran master of sarcasm."

"The Ruthless One: 'Low profile'."

"This song 'Jiu'er'—if you aren't a big shot in the entertainment industry, I'm afraid you couldn't even sing it, and you call this simple? I don't believe you, you masked person are very bad."

"Ms. Zhou, please put your hand on your heart and swear that you are telling the truth."

"..."

The screen was flooded with frantic comments.

And Guo Yu's fans were silent at this moment.

Unlike the previous episode, where Guo Yu's performance was actually on par with The Ruthless One, in this episode, once "Jiu'er" came out, it was clear that The Ruthless One's performance was significantly better than Guo Yu's.

Moreover, the remark that The Ruthless One sang "average" was something Guo Yu said himself.

No matter how one tried to explain or defend it, it seemed pale.

In the end, only a scattered few of Guo Yu's fans stiffened their necks and said:

"The Ruthless One might not necessarily beat Guo Yu."

"The voting results aren't out yet."

"970 votes, how could Guo Yu lose? Even with a dragon riding on his face, it's impossible to lose."

"Our Guo Yu played his cards openly; with his popularity and heat, The Ruthless One's votes couldn't possibly be higher than The Avenger's."

This was precisely the only hope left in Guo Yu's heart at this moment.

The Ruthless One, Zhou Ru, didn't have his level of popularity; as long as his own vote count was higher than hers, then this episode wouldn't count as a loss.

He could just try again in the next episode.

At this moment.

Countless viewers became nervous.

Waiting for the announcement of the voting results.

This was not only the result of The Ruthless One vs. The Avenger tonight, but it also signified who the champion would be.

The champion of this episode would likely be one of the two of them.

They didn't keep the audience waiting too long.

Very soon.

The voting results appeared.

The Ruthless One: 975 votes!

Just 25 votes short of a perfect score!

5 votes higher than The Avenger, a larger gap than in the previous episode!

In fact.

The Ruthless One had received full marks from both the celebrity guests and the professional judges; they were professional musicians who clearly knew the quality of this song and wouldn't be biased toward Guo Yu just because of his status.

It was the audience, on the other hand.

There were some die-hard Guo Yu fans who stubbornly refused to vote for The Ruthless One.

Of course.

This was only a minority.

Other Guo Yu fans were muttering while casting their votes. The content of their muttering included: "I'm sorry, Brother, I didn't want to vote either, but I couldn't control myself," "My hand voted, it has nothing to do with my brain," "It's really so good, I don't want to feel guilty about this for the rest of my life," "I'll just cast one vote, it won't affect the big picture. One more doesn't make a difference, one less doesn't matter"...

If Guo Yu were to find out about such fans, he would probably call them fake fans.

The casual viewers gave The Ruthless One a full vote.

The fans of other masked singers were the same; anyway, The Ruthless One was either first or second, and since there was no competitive relationship with their favorite singers, they might as well follow their hearts.

And so.

This terrifying vote count came out just like that!

At this moment.

When The Ruthless One's vote count was announced, the audience below the stage was first stunned, and then erupted into an uproar.

Everyone was shocked.

Although The Ruthless One had already won the championship for five consecutive episodes, and winning was like eating and drinking for her, before this episode started, really not many people were optimistic about her; they thought she was going to flop.

After all, her opponent in this episode was the Heavenly King Guo Yu.

A figure who, in the earlier years of the music scene, could summon wind and rain and was popular all over the country.

To give an example, he was like Zhang Xueyou.

Even though The Ruthless One sang "Jiu'er," although she had a chance of winning, it wasn't much.

The popularity gap between the two was simply too large.

But they never expected that The Ruthless One would actually withstand the pressure and take the championship of the sixth episode.

This was also her sixth consecutive championship on the show!

In an instant.

The scene was boiling.

The backstage lounge was boiling.

The comments were boiling.

Especially the fans who supported The Ruthless One, they were popping champagne, as happy as if it were the New Year.

"Ahhhhhhh! The Great Emperor is so cool!"

"Did she really send Guo Yu away??? Tears! It was so hard for The Ruthless One to win this episode. Before the show started, who could have imagined that she could withstand such huge pressure, display her peak state, and take the championship!"

"I'm so excited!"

"I'm wet!"

"Sister is too strong!"

"Zhou Ru! Zhou Ru! Zhou Ru!"

"It's fucking amazing!"

"I really love this married sister to death."

"+1, hehe, I love her too."

"Those who were hyping Guo Yu, come out if you have the guts? In the last episode, The Ruthless One was three votes higher than Guo Yu, and you weren't convinced. What about this episode? Five votes higher, are you convinced now?"

"Actually, the gap isn't big."

"But The Ruthless One won by exactly that gap, and don't forget, it's already close to a perfect score. The further you go, the higher the gold content of every single vote! I estimate that if it weren't for Guo Yu's popularity being too high, The Ruthless One could have gotten a perfect score for this song!"
