As Kang Shifu's singing began, the concert venue gradually quieted down. The moving melody and beautiful singing captivated everyone, immersing them in the wonderful music.

Kang Shifu's singing skills are indeed quite good. Even the original singer of the song "Murong Yuyan" thought that Kang Shifu sang very well. Although he is still a level below Murong Yuyan, it is really rare for an amateur singer to have such a performance.

In Murong Yuyan's heart, she did not want Kang Shifu to win the competition, but after hearing Kang Shifu's singing and his grasp of pitch, Murong Yuyan looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with concern, feeling that Liu Xiaoyuan probably had no hope of winning.

From the song "The Boatman's Love" that they just sang together, Murong Yuyan could tell that Liu Xiaoyuan was really tone-deaf.

Fortunately, it was just a very ordinary match, so losing was no big deal.

Lu Siyao, sitting in the audience, was also worried about Liu Xiaoyuan. Liu Xiaoyuan had boasted earlier that he was sure to win the match. If he lost badly, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

Lu Siyao looked at Liu Xiaoyuan on the stage and found that he was acting as if nothing had happened. She couldn't see a trace of worry in his calm expression.

After Kang Shifu finished singing, he immediately won enthusiastic applause from the audience, and some even cheered. This song, "Flying Memories," is one of Murong Yuyan's best and most popular songs. Any fan of Murong Yuyan can hum a few lines of it.

However, this song is extremely demanding in terms of pitch accuracy; many people can sing it, but they can't quite capture the essence of it.

Therefore, Kang Shifu's performance of this song was completely unexpected, and everyone felt that Kang Shifu was destined to win the competition.

Kang Shifu looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a smug expression, as if to say, "Kid, if you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender now, or you'll suffer a terrible defeat later!"

Liu Xiaoyuan, holding the microphone, said, "Your singing isn't even that good."

As soon as he said this, people below immediately spoke up for Kang Shifu.

"Kid, stop bragging, okay? You can't just talk big. If you're so good, sing it!"

"Kid, I think you'd better not sing. With your tone-deaf voice, singing this song would be a complete insult to it!"

"Exactly, exactly. Although you're quite handsome, I really can't say anything good about your singing. You should just admit defeat and not waste our time listening to Murong Yuyan sing."

Liu Xiaoyuan didn't take these fans' accusations to heart. If he had, he would have been driven mad even if he had ten lives.

"If you're so capable, then sing!" Kang Shifu said smugly. He was very satisfied with his performance today; he hadn't expected to do so well, it was truly unexpected.

To sing better than Kang Shifu, you have to listen to the original version firsthand; otherwise, if you end up singing about the same thing, it will be difficult to handle.

So, Liu Xiaoyuan calmly said to Murong Yuyan, "Big star, although I often listen to this song, I haven't memorized some of the lyrics and pitch. How about you sing it for me again right now so I can remember it better?"

These words caused an uproar. Everyone was already certain that Liu Xiaoyuan would lose the singing competition, and now that they heard him make such a request to Murong Yuyan, they were even more convinced that Liu Xiaoyuan would definitely lose.

"Kid, stop pretending and just admit defeat. It's not shameful. We won't laugh at you, we'll just mock you!"

"Damn it, can you stop wasting our time? Stop making a fool of yourself on stage and get off here!"

Murong Yuyan also felt that there was no need for this, believing that Liu Xiaoyuan was deliberately stalling for time. However, when she saw Liu Xiaoyuan's gaze, Murong Yuyan suddenly had a strange feeling that perhaps a miracle would happen to him later.

“Okay, I’ll sing it for you right now, so listen carefully!” Murong Yuyan said.

The fans below didn't understand why Murong Yuyan agreed to Liu Xiaoyuan's request, but the thought of hearing Murong Yuyan sing this song again wasn't bad. At least they could hear Murong Yuyan sing their favorite song in person again.

As the beautiful melody began, the venue fell silent once again. Murong Yuyan's heavenly voice, amplified by the microphone, resonated throughout every corner.

While Murong Yuyan was singing, Liu Xiaoyuan closed his eyes and, together with the awesome musical character inside his body, experienced the emotions, pitch, and lyrics of Murong Yuyan's singing.

Listening to Murong Yuyan's songs is a pleasure. The few minutes seem to pass in the blink of an eye. When Murong Yuyan's singing stops, everyone feels that time has passed too quickly, as if Murong Yuyan had just picked up the microphone to sing a second ago.

"Clap clap!" As Murong Yuyan's singing faded away, thunderous applause and frenzied shouts erupted once again at the venue.

After the electrifying atmosphere calmed down a bit, Kang Shifu took the microphone and said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Now it's your turn to sing, isn't it?"

When everyone heard Kang Shifu's voice, they remembered the match between Liu Xiaoyuan and Kang Shifu.

As a result, the scene became lively again, but instead of cheering for Liu Xiaoyuan, it was filled with mockery and attacks.

Liu Xiaoyuan is a strong man, and he doesn't care at all about the blows from these viewers.

"Since that's the case, then I'll make you admit defeat and show you what a real amateur singer is!" Liu Xiaoyuan said arrogantly, speaking with extreme domineering arrogance.

"Tch!" Most of the audience members gave Liu Xiaoyuan a disdainful look.

Of course, at this moment, I also admire Liu Xiaoyuan's courage. Knowing that he was going to lose, he still forged ahead. This fearless spirit is worth learning from.

"Music, play it for me!" Liu Xiaoyuan snapped his fingers, and the familiar melody immediately began to play.

"On a late autumn afternoon, memories of the past are flying around..." Liu Xiaoyuan's moving and magnetic voice resounded throughout the concert venue.

Apart from Liu Xiaoyuan's singing, there were no other sounds at the concert; it seemed as if even breathing was absent.

The people at the scene stared wide-eyed at Liu Xiaoyuan on stage, as if they had been under a spell. Everyone was stunned by Liu Xiaoyuan's singing voice, because Liu Xiaoyuan's singing voice was just too damn good.

Lu Siyao, sitting in the audience, stared at Liu Xiaoyuan on stage with sparkling eyes. She thought she absolutely loved Liu Xiaoyuan at this moment; he was incredibly handsome, especially when he sang the song with such deep emotion. He was just too handsome to be true.

Murong Yuyan on stage was completely captivated by Liu Xiaoyuan's singing. She had initially thought Liu Xiaoyuan was just a tone-deaf guy who could only shout when he sang, but when she heard his voice, she realized she was wrong, terribly wrong. His voice was so beautiful, so magnetic, as if it could penetrate one's soul...
