As the other singers took the stage one after another, the cheers from the audience gradually subsided.
There was still one singer among the four who had not unmasked. However, after Su Yu unmasked, the identity of this person was no longer in doubt.
When Bai Zhou Tu took the stage, she walked to Su Yu's side and extended her delicate hand. Su Yu smiled and grasped her hand, their fingers interlacing. Bai Zhou Tu removed her headgear with her other hand.
The cameraman, in perfect coordination, zoomed in, giving her a close-up shot! Lin Yanyu's stunningly beautiful face appeared on the screen, her long hair cascading down. A few strands of hair clung to her face due to the headgear. Su Yu leaned closer and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Su Su..."
Lin Yanyu tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes filled with love and adoration as she looked at Su Yu. In this moment, she paid no heed to rankings or votes, nor to the cheers of the audience. Her gaze was fixed solely on this man, this immensely talented man whom she loved to the point of forgetting herself!
Under the spotlight, their shared gaze resembled a breathtakingly beautiful painting. The camera blurred out all the background, leaving only this talented man and beautiful woman. The sweet scent of love!
The cheers that had just weakened suddenly exploded once more!
"Holy crap, this scene is too beautiful!"
"Burp... I'm full! I've had my fill!"
"Damn it, we got dog food at the city finals, and now the Masked Singer again?"
"Brother, that's nothing. I've been to every single event since Lin Yanyu confessed on 'The Voice of China', then the city finals, and now this! I'm cracking up!"
"Awesome! Such a dedicated fan!"
"Hahaha, these two are still so sweet no matter how you look at them. This must be true love, unlike those fake couples."
"Ahhhh! I guessed early on that Bai Zhou Tu was Lin Yanyu, but no one believed me!"
"There were many expert analyses online, but they all dismissed the possibility of Bai Zhou Tu being Lin Yanyu because they said An Ye Tu couldn't be Ting Yu!"
"Stupid experts, I'll never believe them again!"
Amidst the audience's cheers, Lu Chengqian and Victor on stage felt a bit awkward. Victor, in particular, had no idea what was happening. He suddenly received so many votes, only to be upstaged by Su Yu. As for Lu Chengqian, he was quite philosophical about it, as he had only intended to be a participant in the finals and getting some screen time was already good enough.
"Next up is the final five-minute voting period. Audiences who haven't voted yet, please pick up your phones and vote for your favorite singer. Here, we thank Xiang Guo Wu Yu for their generous support of this program, and thank Kang Shuai Fu..."
In the last five minutes, the host began thanking the sponsors, a common occurrence in such programs. In previous competitions, the atmosphere was tense with very little difference in skill levels, but this time, he read out the acknowledgments with unusual leisure. Su Yu's votes continued to surge, showing no signs of slowing down. After Lin Yanyu unmasked, her votes also started to increase.
"These two lovebirds are so sweet, how can we let anyone come between them? Get them to the top!"
"Haha, Ting Yu has already secured the championship. Let's get his wife up there next!"
"Victor's expression is too awkward. This position never belonged to him in the first place. Forcing himself into it, he must want to find a hole to crawl into right now!"
"It's the last few minutes, guys, vote quickly!"
"Charge! Tonight, the God of Songs, Ting Yu, will once again ascend to godhood on stage!"
"My hands are actually trembling right now!"
"The number one person in the Chinese music scene, the true number one, no exceptions!"
"Be bolder, the number one person in the entertainment industry!"
"Is Jiangnan saying I can't wield my saber anymore?"
"The old thief Jiangnan is still quite a bit behind Ting Yu. Perhaps he can catch up in the future, but he's not comparable at the moment."
At this moment, the rate of vote increase reached an unprecedented speed! Most people were waiting for the final voting to conclude, as in such competitions, audiences preferred to cast their votes after all the singers had performed. The audience's cheers never ceased! They stared intently at the scores on the big screen! An Ye Tu had already garnered 230 million votes! It was terrifying! Lin Yanyu's votes grew rapidly after unmasking, and when she surpassed Victor, the cheers from the audience intensified once again!
Countdown! Da Feng Novel Network.

Boom!!!
Brilliant fireworks soared into the sky from the stage! And then, in the darkness, they bloomed into incredibly vibrant blossoms! On the big screen! The night sky was studded with stars! Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder! A golden microphone broke through the clouds! With a whoosh, it landed in the stadium, which resembled a bird's nest.
Rumble!
With that incredibly powerful sound effect! A golden rain cascaded down onto the stage! Illuminated by the lights! Su Yu slowly looked up amidst the golden rain, watching the fireworks.
"Whew... my head is buzzing."
It had been a long time since he had seen such an excited audience. A faint smile curved his lips. This was considered achieving a small goal, right? To reach the status of God of Songs through his singing. This was the goal he had set when he first joined the program. The only imperfection was using the identity of Ting Yu to garner votes at the end, but that didn't matter. If the other party hadn't broken the rules first, he could have won the championship even without unmasking.
"Next, please invite Teacher Su Yu to receive his trophy!!!"
The host, Lin Han, had a hoarse voice, but it didn't stop him from stretching the sound out! An assistant wearing a sexy slip dress and a leather skirt came onto the stage. With her was the chairman of the program's organizer, Yihai Entertainment, Shen Tianyue, and next to them was a middle-aged man in a black suit. Su Yu recognized this middle-aged man: Chen Qingyuan, an official figure who had previously invited him to participate in an patriotic-themed program, which was considered official resources provided by Lin Chaoyang.
The audience's cheers gradually subsided. Everyone stared intently at the stage. When the assistant handed the trophy, symbolizing the honor of God of Songs, into Su Yu's hands, Su Yu held it.
"Yu Shen!"
"Yu Shen!!"
"Su Shen!!!"
Someone started the chant. A unified roar erupted from the audience! At this moment! He was no longer Ting Yu, nor An Ye Tu! He was Su Yu! He was the god of the Chinese music scene! Hearing these cheers, Su Yu felt a surge of emotion.
"The trophy is quite heavy. The thank-you speeches are all the same, so I won't say them."
His casual acceptance speech elicited a burst of laughter from the audience. Indeed, over the years, award speeches had always consisted of thanking the production team, the audience, and so on; everyone could recite them by heart.
"I'm very happy that so many fans voted for me. Please continue to support Chinese music, not just me, but also all the other singers you love. I hope all singers and producers can shine in this era, because Chinese music is truly the best!"
After Su Yu finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Chinese music is truly the best! Arrogant! Wild! Unyielding! Only Su Yu dared to say, and could say, such a thing! The singers on stage, the actors, people working in the entertainment industry, and the ordinary people were immensely inspired!! Especially the singers, they had goosebumps and their hearts were filled with excitement!
Roar!!
Even if their throats were hoarse! Even if their throats were sore from exhaustion! The audience on site screamed with all their might, and all their voices coalesced into two words!
"Hua Liu!!"
"Hua Liu!!"
At this moment, it wasn't for Su Yu, nor for the championship. They were cheering for Hua Liu! They were celebrating the statement, "Chinese music is truly the best!"
"Ahhhhh! Brother Yu, my god!!" Gong Juren went wild!
"What a broad vision! This is Brother Yu's vision!" Zhang Wei wanted to prostrate himself before Su Yu, but the space was too narrow!
"Damn it! He showed off again!" Zhang Yang trembled with excitement, still uttering his catchphrase! This time, he truly showed off!
