Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 428: Stunning Debut!

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Stunning Debut!

"Hello, mentors. I’m going to perform a cover of the song ’The Ocean’..."

Jiang Shixu nervously fumbled with the microphone as he introduced himself.

Below the stage, all four mentors shook their heads slightly.

Another Youth Trainee hopeful.

It was bad enough he was dressed so casually, but his nervousness, his complete lack of stage presence...

How could someone like him possibly debut and form a group?

Besides, he had chosen such a difficult song—one that was the hit song of Xiao Yi, the music mentor present, which demanded high vocal skills and emotional depth.

How could a rookie like him possibly do it justice?

In the initial impression section, all four gave him the lowest score.

"?? He’s actually covering the mentor’s hit song, he’s really daring."

"Actually, this was chosen by his fans because he’s really suited for it."

"Ha, that’s too confident, just wait for him to be shown up."

As the lights dimmed, the soothing melody began.

The mentors, along with some of the contestants in the audience, were ready for a spectacle, but the moment Jiang Shixu started singing, everyone was stunned—

"Drowned, adrift, nearly touching, wandering, suffocating, destined to turn into nothing..."

As the music played, the melancholic air around the young man was completely unleashed.

It was as if he had some magical power; his unease and timidity vanished, leaving only a wonderful spirit fused with the music.

Especially his voice, so pure it was almost unearthly, carrying an ethereal sense, as if the Divine Son stood atop a cliff narrating his moving and unique experiences.

As the music gradually intensified, the young man slowly lifted his head.

His clear eyes reflecting the alternating dim light was heart-stirring.

Everyone gasped.

This trainee... was too handsome!

The four mentors gradually shifted from disappointment to shock.

This voice, this technique, this appearance... it was as though heaven itself was feeding him!

They had waited so long and finally, a truly talented contestant had come!

Especially Xiao Yi, the song mentor, who had been full of disdain, but the moment he heard Jiang Shixu sing, he stood up in amazement, then, not wanting to disturb the contestant’s performance, hurriedly sat back down.

"!!!! Wow, this sounds amazing?!"

"My ears are pregnant."

"Ah, how can there be a guy who’s so handsome and sings so well, I’m definitely a fan now!"

"I told you Shiguang was amazing, but you didn’t believe me!"

"I apologize for my earlier careless comment; this voice is incredible."

The song’s underlying tone was originally somber, and Jiang Shixu’s voice and demeanor added another layer of melancholy to it.

Moreover, he had just cried, his eyes still red, which doubled the stage effect.

Half of the contestants present cried, and the majority of the live-streaming audience did too.

Listening to the intermittent sobbing around him, Xi Yang’s displeasure ignited to a climax.

"Is it necessary? It’s just a song, and they’re crying like this?"

This Shiguang singing is just average!

"Captain, you don’t understand..." Liu Qian beside him sobbed too, "Just seeing that kid frown, I don’t know why, but my nose started to feel sore."

Xi Yang: "..."

Pathetic!

As the song ended, the arena fell silent, then erupted into thunderous applause.

Tai Fan stood up and led the applause.

"Well done, Shiguang, that was awesome!"

Then he caught himself.

Why was he speaking up for someone who made it hard for him to leave?

"Your voice is truly stunning," Xiao Yi was the first to pick up the microphone, "While there are areas where your singing could mature, it’s impressive for your age."

He grew more and more excited as he spoke, "and you give me a feeling just like that of an old friend of mine. If he were here right now, seeing you would definitely excite him."

Not only does your voice resemble his, but now, under brighter lights, he even found this kid’s features somewhat similar to that person’s.

Xiao Yi had a strong premonition—

This one called Shiguang was going to be a huge success!

"Classmate, how long have you studied music?" another mentor took over the microphone. She was an opera master specifically invited by Taiqi, instantly captivated by Jiang Shixu’s voice the moment he began to speak.

Whether singing opera or singing songs, effort undoubtedly yielded results, but talent could swiftly elevate someone from the ground to heaven.

This kid possessed such extraordinary talent.

Overwhelmed by the praises, Jiang Shixu felt dizzy and blurted out without thinking, "I’ve, I’ve studied for three months."

Everyone: Three months???

To be able to sing like this after just three months?!

Today, they truly understood the feeling of having fortune spoon-fed by the heavens.

Because of Jiang Shixu’s striking performance, the live popularity of "Youth Trainee" momentarily eclipsed that of "Wilderness Survival 30 Days," even dominating several trending searches.

1. What it feels like for fortune to chase you and feed you.

2. Xi Yang’s debut performance.

3. Shiguang’s "Ocean" moved a hundred thousand spectators to tears.

...

Taiqi Entertainment’s operations team reached the peak of shock and confusion seeing these trending topics.

Hadn’t they invested all their resources in Xi Yang?

Where did this Shiguang come from?

...

The four mentors then engaged in a heated discussion.

Minutes later, they revealed their score—

A giant "A" was displayed.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Although you didn’t showcase any dance and there’s room for improvement in stage presence, there’s still a lot of room for growth, and your talent sets you apart from others. I hope this score encourages you to continue down this path."

Jiang Shixu stood in shock.

An A?

He actually got an A?!

Fans in the livestream also started screaming wildly.

[Ahhh, he actually got an A!!!]

[Poor Xiao Yi truly is incredible.]

[Shiguang, you deserve it!!!]

[Dear, don’t cry! You deserve an A!!]

[Who understands an old fan’s feelings, huhuhu, I’m freaking crying like a dog in the bathroom!]

...

...

Dragon Ridge Island.

Jiang Li crawled out of the sleeping bag, tidied up briefly, and then opened the tent.

A streak of dawn light seeped in.

Illuminating her face while also revealing her tent behind her—

Apart from the sleeping bag and some other insignificant items, it was completely empty!

Jiang Li’s brow twitched sharply.

So, something did happen after all?

Under the tree, Guan Xiong’s complexion was extremely unsightly as he couldn’t help but question Nina again.

"Are you really sure you didn’t see who attacked you last night?"

Nina’s nape was swollen red, and she covered her ears with a pitiful face, saying:

"I’ve said it several times already, I was already sleepy from keeping watch outside around four or five in the morning and then I got attacked, how could I possibly see the attacker’s face clearly?"
