"Just... just this..."
Li Yajun's eyes twitched involuntarily.
His heart rate gradually quickened.
An ominous feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
Su Yu's high-pitched singing quality was actually much better than his own!
How was this possible!
He considered his high notes unmatched among his peers.
Yet, here was Su Yu, younger than him, giving him the pressure of a heavenly king in terms of high notes.
This feeling might not be noticeable to amateurs, but the stronger their skill, the deeper they would feel it, as they would compare details and mentally test if they could achieve it.
Li Yajun's conclusion was that even if he could reach such high notes, the details would not be as perfect as Su Yu's.
"It's good to be in mid-air,
No noise,
Few people,
Yet able to see storms on the horizon!!!!"
The last line of the bridge transitioned directly into sustained high notes.
The heavenly kings, queens, and other singers were all stunned.
There was such a maneuver?
The thought flashed through everyone's minds.
"Night kisses day,
Thank you, time,
Rubbing! Red! My! Eyes!!"
On stage, Su Yu's eyes glistened with tears, his voice hoarse with emotion!
He completely unleashed the near-collapse struggle and suppression within the song.
Every word at the end was emphasized.
His emotions erupted like a volcanic explosion!
Coupled with the smooth vocal runs,
It sent the audience into a euphoric frenzy!
"The halo of the past,
Every moment,
Was utterly stunning!!
Those days and nights I ran through,
Were a solitary cultivation,
Saying goodbye is worse than forgetting you can meet again,
Today..."
The continuous high-pitched enunciation,
Sent the already ecstatic audience into absolute madness!
"Ahhhh! Where are my skullcaps!"
"Damn, is this a song humans can sing???"
"I was wrong, I was completely wrong, I actually said this song was easy before!"
"Damn, is this still human?"
"Continuous A4B4 enunciation, voice still full and penetrating, this stamina, is it still human!"
"Lip-syncing? Can someone really sing like this live?"
"Idiot, everyone here is an expert, if he dared to lip-sync, he'd be exposed in an instant."
"Whatever, even if I'm laughed at, I have to say Su Yu is awesome!"
"..."
From the audience, a tidal wave of cheers erupted.
Li Yajun, who had been smug moments ago, stood frozen as if struck by lightning.
The echo of the song seemed to linger in his mind,
Like a persistent ghost he couldn't shake off!
It's over...
It's completely over!
Suddenly, he remembered something.
He took out his phone and checked the time.
He quickly stood up and hurried to a corner.
He dialed the number in his hand.
"Boss, the situation has changed..."
The person on the other end didn't speak.
After a few seconds, the call was hung up.
Li Yajun heard the dial tone and gave a wry smile.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put one in his mouth.
He patted himself down, unable to find a lighter.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed!
At this moment, his assistant ran over and offered him a lighter.
"Th-thank you."
Li Yajun was taken aback, took it, lit his cigarette, and returned the lighter.
Then, he offered his assistant a cigarette.
"You're welcome."
The assistant took it and lit it, taking a puff.
Their eyes met, and they both saw a deep sense of helplessness in each other's gaze.
Then,
They both sighed.
And crouched down in the corner.
"What should we do?" the assistant suddenly asked.
Li Yajun was startled by his voice, his hand trembled, and the cigarette fell to the ground. He shot the assistant a resentful glance, then picked up the half-smoked cigarette from the ground.
"No!" the assistant suddenly reached out.
"Hiss... pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Li Yajun covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face.
He had accidentally put the lit end in his mouth!!!
...
Backstage, in the lounge.
"Haha, I knew this kid's vocal ability was awesome, but I never expected it to be this awesome!"
Lin Zhaoyang was extremely pleased.
Su Yu's song had completely sent the big shots in the audience into a frenzy.
Such a scene was unprecedented in the entertainment industry.
After all, these were not ordinary audience members.
They were heavenly kings, queens, and big players in the entertainment industry.
Few people in the industry could achieve this level.
"Susu has always been amazing."
Lin Yanyu's eyes shone with brilliance.
She had sung a duet with Su Yu and deeply understood his talent.
Although the song they sang earlier was not as difficult as this one,
The stage control he demonstrated revealed his extraordinary ability.
"Old Lin, should we use this opportunity to promote him?" Chen Rong asked cheerfully. She paused and continued, "With his performance today, if we promote him a bit, he can immediately become a top-tier singer. Combined with his identity as Ting Yu, he could become a heavenly king within two years. A twenty-year-old heavenly king would be unprecedented!"
Chen Rong's words caused Lin Yanyu and Lin Zhaoyang to fall silent.
Su Yu was talented, but his personality was not one to show off.
He was more inclined towards being low-key.
"Let's not for now. The issues with Dingsheng Entertainment haven't been resolved yet. If his identity is exposed, it could cause considerable trouble. That company's most familiar tactic is to smear people, and even if it doesn't work, it can be disgusting."
"And this kid Su Yu hasn't been exposed yet, so Dingsheng Entertainment can't do anything to him."
Lin Zhaoyang thought for a moment and said in contemplation.
Judging by Dingsheng Entertainment's actions, they were likely running out of patience.
It remained to be seen what would happen next.
And Dingsheng Entertainment's most potent weapon was using online mobs to manipulate public opinion and engage in cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying, while not a major issue for some, could be devastating for others.
It could drive those who cared to the brink of collapse, while having no effect on those who didn't.
However, it was best to avoid it if possible.
"We should ask Su Yu about it later."
Lin Yanyu wished for Su Yu to be the most dazzling star in the public eye, but she also did not want him to be subjected to online abuse.
Even if Su Yu didn't care, she would still be worried.
After discussing, they agreed that they should indeed ask Su Yu first.
...
Su Yu on stage.
The situation was not good.
The flashing lights relentlessly bombarded him.
With every flash, his heart twitched.
And that deathly silence seemed to further erode his consciousness.
In his mind,
Shattered fragments gradually coalesced.
The stage.
The lights.
Impressions.
Concert.
A chorus of ten thousand people!
These played back in his mind like movie clips.
"It's over!"
He felt his consciousness gradually blurring.
The sealed memories were appearing more and more frequently.
The sounds of scolding.
And the malicious text on the screen.
Flashed through his mind one by one.
These two different sets of memories instantly caused his brain's logic to become chaotic.
Who am I?
Who am I really?
His consciousness could not find balance, and the memories fabricated by the system conflicted with his original memories, causing him to doubt himself.
"System, what do I do?"
Su Yu struggled to maintain a sliver of clarity.
【Host, there's no need to panic. This is a normal situation. The current memory seal has loosened by 30%. The host's mindset is already very good and can completely digest these memories on his own.】
The system's reply was like a shot of reassurance for Su Yu.
Since it was fine, he would just wait patiently.
