I Am A Prodigy Chapter 693
Advertisement
After Zhang Tao, it was Huang Xing's turn to go on stage. The fans were boiling over with excitement once again.
[Ah, it's so good!]
[Clap harder!]
[After Huang Xing is my Binbin!]
[All the best! Victory!]
Emotions boiled over, giving the stage no time to cool down for a moment.
Meanwhile, a lot of people were having a worried look on their face. How would Superman face this situation? If it were any other singers, their mental state would surely be affected and may even run away.
In Ye Lingchen's lounge.
A crew member came over to knock on his door. "Sensei Superman, it's your turn after Sensei Binbin. Please standby."
"Okay, understood," Ye Lingchen acknowledged calmly. With his mask on, nobody could see his face.
Su Mo bit her lip, then said in a worried tone, "Mr. Superman, please take another drink. I'll lead you over in two minutes."
Ye Lingchen nodded and stopped watching the competition. Instead, he turned off the TV and the room turned a lot quieter.
However, he could still hear some frenzied screams coming from the stage. At a time like this, he finally felt a hint of nervousness as he rubbed his nose.
Right then, he was just a nameless contestant without any identity. Faced with such a popular little fresh meat, can he win?
In order to win, he needed to crush them completely with his overwhelming strength to convince the fans of those little fresh meats!
Under such circumstances, how many people could pull it off? Most likely none.
'However...I can!'
Su Mo spoke up, "Mr. Superman, let's go."
"Okay." Ye Lingchen stood up and headed outward.
Opening the door, he immediately ran into Feather, Sensei Luo, and Sensei Teng who were previously eliminated. Their eyes were filled with expectant and motivational looks.
Ye Lingchen nodded without saying anything, then slowly walked toward the stage.

The closer he got, the clearer he could hear the sounds on the stage.
Binbin was still singing.
Ye Lingchen was already at the waiting area, watching in silence.
From his angle, he could see the audience in the hall and Binbin on the stage. Turning around, he could only see the shadows of Sensei Teng and the others.
This stage may not seem like much to others, but for the older generation of singers, it was extremely meaningful as the stage used to belong to them.
The entertainment industry was merciless as it embodied the principle of weeding out the weak to the extreme. However, they felt unresigned to be eliminated from the stage in such a way.
Suddenly, a roaring round of applause and cheers brought Ye Lingchen back to reality.
"Binbin!"
"Binbin!"
"Binbin!"
The hall was filled with the unending screams, shouts, and applause from the audience.
"Next...will be my turn!"
Ye Lingchen raised his head slightly and passed a music sheet to Su Mo. "As usual."
"N-n-new song?" Su Mo stuttered, slightly stunned.
Ye Lingchen nodded. "Yeah."
…
Live Stream:
[Ahhh, Binbin sang so well.]
[There's only Superman left, right?]
[Sigh, what's he going to compete with?]
[The outcome is set. There's nothing to see.]
[Actually, I think Superman sings really well, but…]
…
On the judge's seat, Chen Xiaoyan gripped her fists tightly. Her eyes were filled with worry as they looked at Ye Lingchen expectantly.
She was worried that the little fresh meats would affect Ye Lingchen's performance. On the other hand, she was also confident that he would win!
Andy Lau, "It's that kid's turn."
"Nowadays the little fresh meats' influence is really something. I really hope he's not the first to be eliminated," Jay Chou interjected.
"He modified a song the last time. I wonder what he will be singing this time? I'm looking forward to this."

…
Under the audience's gaze, the door on the stage opened suddenly as the lights gathered around it. Ye Lingchen walked out of the door.
There was no cheering and only a few non committed claps. It was a huge contrast between his entrance compared to the little fresh meats'.
Many people in the audience were tired. They had been cheering and clapping for the past three little fresh meats. By then, most of their energy was spent. Some of them had even lost their voice. How could they still have the energy to cheer for Ye Lingchen?
Su Mo's eyes were glued to the stage. Her hands held tightly as her heart raced nervously.
'Why is there not even an applause? Just how disrespectful are these people?'
Ye Lingchen walked out slowly and stood in the middle of the stage calmly.
Under the mask, his gaze was extremely composed, unaffected by everyone's reactions. His gaze then swept through all the people in the audience before he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Even the live stream that was going wild turned silent as the viewers focused on watching the stream.
Backstage, Sensei Luo and Sensei Teng sighed softly while Feather's eyes took on a dejected look.
Although they were prepared for it, seeing such a drastic difference of reaction compared to those little fresh meats still had an effect on their nerves.
The music began. The unique melody moved gently, catching everyone off guard.
The intro was unique. It was unlike any song in their memories.
The lights shined directly on Ye Lingchen. Lights from the entire stage focused on him. With his hands on the mic, Ye Lingchen opened his mouth.
There were no loud voices, no rock and roll, no dancing, and no jumping wildly about with the music.
His low and steady voice was just as gentle as the melody, carrying with it a hint of sorrow.
"To those who wander on the road,
"Ready to go? Via via.
"Those who're fragile, those who're proud,
"I used to be part of your crowd."
Right at that moment, everyone was stunned!
'New song?'
'Original work?'
Ye Lingchen continued to sing in a low voice.
"You who are uncertain or bold,
"Where did you go? Via via.
"Secretive and mysterious.
"Are you still listening?"
At that moment, a feeling of absolute calm washed over everyone. The ecstatic emotions they experienced with the little fresh meats were all brought down.
The next instant, Ye Lingchen's eyes slowly opened up and his voice rose in pitch, as though he was trying to scream with his entire being. However, he seemed to have seen through everything and continued to sing with that plain and steady voice, bringing out the most heart wrenching feelings with his voice.
"I've walked across the mountains and seas,
"And in crowds beyond all these.
"I thought I once had everything,
"But it faded in the breeze.
"I've been frustrated, hopeless, wondering where I should be
"Until I realized the answer was in the ordinary"
…
Hearing that, Sensei Teng, Sensei Luo, and other singers watching in front of the TV had their eyes tear up. In that song, they seemed to see a reflection of themselves.
'I used to perform on the stage. I've also had fanatical fans. I used to have so much more…'
Some of the older audiences were similarly stunned as tears streamed down their cheeks uncontrollably. 'I've also done a lot of things. I've been proud and crazy at one point. Are you really listening?'
