Chapter 299: Chapter 264 Very Strong

However, Wu Mu wasn’t interacting, but someone else interacted for him.

"Hey, you’re asking why Xiao Wu is dressed like this? Maybe, it’s because he hit his rebellious phase?"

Lu Yao hesitated, then said with enthusiasm:

"Actually, I can understand Xiao Wu. Sometimes I suddenly do things like this too. There was this one show where I wanted to put on eyeshadow, but Sister Le disagreed, so I secretly put a lot of salt in her water, and she had no idea who did it, hahaha..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to realize something and looked at the camera guardedly, "You guys won’t secretly tell Sister Le, right?"

The comments were full of responses saying they wouldn’t.

Others around her smiled.

There were too many laughable points, and they didn’t know where to begin.

Such antics might be a bit childish for elementary students, but for Lu Yao, it was just right!

"Li Zhengxun... Teacher’s video,", she whispered not so secretly, sneaking a glance at Li Zhengxun.

"I can’t talk about this on the show; Producer Wu... simply can’t talk about it!"

"Do you guys think Xiao Wu is even more handsome than before? Haha, you guys are silly, how could someone suddenly become handsome? It’s all your illusion."

Lu Yao spoke for Wu Mu.

Although Wu Mu didn’t speak, the camera caught everyone together, so he didn’t miss out on any points.

Soon, the live interaction ended, and the second round of the competition officially began.

This round was elimination, so in order to appear fair, the order of singers couldn’t be arranged by the show’s organizers.

The organizers created a bit of a fun twist.

They let the singers discuss and decide among themselves.

"I’ll go first; my song preparation this time is so-so; I’m not too confident." He Jie volunteered.

Since the audience would vote after everyone performed, traditionally, being later in the lineup was advantageous—people perform, and the judges score immediately, making it easy to score high when the performance is fresh in their memory.

Since He Jie volunteered for the first slot, everyone naturally had no objections.

As the last person from the previous round, Yue Li also really wanted one of the last few spotlight positions.

But... she glanced at Wu Mu, who was still sitting there pretending to look all high and mighty, and decided, "I’ll follow Mr. He Jie."

She feared being compared to Wu Mu over being forgotten by the judges!

Performing alongside him made it too easy to be compared.

Cai Wanhai thought about it too, and agreed it wouldn’t be wise to line up with Wu Mu, so he volunteered for third.

Yi Junxi didn’t care where he was placed, fourth.

Li Zhengxun followed Yi Junxi, fifth.

Tsukishima Chizuru looked at Wu Mu; despite being disappointed about being rejected by him after the last round, it didn’t change her impression of his appearance.

She intended to leave the last place for Wu Mu, but before she could speak...

The usually silent and pretentious Wu Mu stylishly said, "I’ll take sixth."

Huh?

Everyone’s gaze shifted between Wu Mu and Li Zhengxun, their expressions subtle.

Was he purposely lining up after Li Zhengxun?

Alright, bring it on, let’s see some fireworks!

After deciding the order, the host introduced the new rules for this episode:

"This episode will feature two singer attacks from off-stage guest singers, who will choose one of our current singers to challenge, deciding whether they want to go before or after them!"

"If the attacking singer wins, they will eliminate the singer last in ranking, and the singer who loses the challenge will also lose ten points, while the winner gains ten points."

Ten points were significant for singers of this caliber, as many had less than a ten-point difference from the last episode.

"These guest singers are potentially intimidating powerhouses. Who will they choose to attack? Let’s all wait and see. Now, let’s welcome Mr. He Jie to the stage!"

Although He Jie volunteered to go first, he hadn’t given up on giving his best.

He sang one of his signature songs.

Singer competitions typically run a few standard plays: either perform a technically challenging song that best displays their vocal prowess,

or choose a sentimental song that tugs at the heartstrings—though this is rare, as it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

True events where a singer moves the audience to tears are rare and require the right atmosphere and timing, a feat not all performers can achieve unlike Wu Mu with his System Skills.

Or like what He Jie did—singing high-replay-value classics, highlighting nostalgia and classic appeal.

This had its risks as singers might be compared to the original performers, which can sometimes backfire.

However, like He Jie, who sang his own classic, that wasn’t a concern.

He turned the stage into his own concert, the audience clapping along, reminiscing about the past, fully maximizing the impression score.

After He Jie, Yue Li performed.

During Yue Li’s performance, in a spot unseen by the live audience and performers, the camera cut to the first surprise guest singer.

"Tang Weiwen?"

"Can’t believe he’s really on the show."

"Commands respect, Tang Weiwen does have the skills."

The comments were filled with surprise.

"Tang Weiwen, who do you plan to challenge?" the co-host pompously asked Tang Weiwen.
