After Yin Chengjue walked away, they seemed to be unfrozen, their entire bodies and faces filled with "Holy crap!"

"Sister, can you believe it? After seeing President Yin's face up close, I instantly forgot all about all the negative headlines he had been trending on social media."

"Sister, you might not believe it, but I'm the same..."

"Add one!"

"Hey sis, wanna try climbing over the wall? Just for a second."

"...Let's go, let's go, anyway, Xiaoyu is one of their artists! Hmm!"

"Sisters, a very dangerous thought suddenly popped into my head: an elite CEO as the dominant partner and a gentle celebrity as the submissive partner..."

No! You don't want to!

"That's not what the drool at the corner of your mouth says..."

"I didn't! *slurp*"

"Seriously, to be honest, President Yin's three repetitions of 'He is my artist' were really very emphatic. My mind started automatically shipping him. I didn't want to, but I couldn't control it."

"Ugh! Blame it on that damn good looks!"

Ignoring the discussions, Yin Chengjue had already walked to the front row of the audience and sat in a seat near the center.

The performance hasn't officially started yet, and the live stream hasn't been officially recorded. The host is communicating with the fans to rehearse a short cheering slogan so that the fans can shout the slogan together when the trainees' teams come out, making the scene more exciting and the post-production editing will look better when it's broadcast.

The order of appearance for the three groups was drawn in the previous episode: Rong Yu's group was the first to appear, Tao Li's group was the second, and Ming Qian's group was the third.

Rong Yu's group performed "Black and White Without Intersection", Tao Li's group performed "Playful Cycle", and Ming Qian's group performed "The King Returns".

Judging from the song titles alone, Mingqian's group had the upper hand and a strong momentum. However, the outcome is not determined by the song titles, so this performance is the most crucial part.

After today's performance, the top six contestants will be selected by live voting, and these six will secure one of the six debut spots set up by the show.

Voting can be done in person or online. The total number of votes is the sum of the votes cast in both locations.

In competitive events like this, the first act is at a disadvantage because after they've worked hard to electrify the audience and get them engaged, they set the stage for the next act.

Simply put, as long as their next performance isn't too bad, the cheers won't be any lower than theirs.

After the third performance, most audiences forget the brilliance of the first performance but remember the latest one more vividly, and their votes tend to favor that performance.

Especially for live and broadcast programs like this, viewers can't watch it a second time before the edited version is released. So when the voting options are available, most people will vote for the team that they feel is the best at first glance.

Whether it's the songs drawn or the order in which they were drawn, Rong Yu's group was undoubtedly the least advantageous.

After the cheering segment ended, the stage lights suddenly turned ice blue and were placed in the center of the stage.

At the same time, the large screen projected the footage from the camera above.

"Black and White" tells the story of the conflict between the righteous and the evil in a martial arts film. The original song is mainly based on the guzheng, with some modern electronic keyboard and electric guitar elements added, so it has a unique flavor. In addition, the song is also very nice, so it is often used by short video editors as the background music for the entrance and transformation of handsome ancient-style men.

However, if this song is used for a boy band dance, the rhythm will be somewhat unclear.

In addition, people have seen so many ancient costume and martial arts scenes paired with this song that they have developed a conditioned reflex. When they hear the music, they will think of handsome men and beautiful women dressed in ancient costumes.

If Rong Yu's group wants to perform, then they must make changes.

Fortunately, Fang Mengda was also in Rong Yu's group. In terms of arrangement, Fang Mengda's skills are undeniable. He once rearranged several songs randomly chosen by the trainees on the spot in a certain episode and even did a medley. Although the music was completely different in style, it sounded very good.

Despite these disadvantages, Rong Yu's group has garnered a lot of attention, with many people expecting an unexpected performance from them.

As the stage lights changed, the audience's attention was drawn to them. Yin Chengjue also stared intently at the big screen, his fingertips lightly stroking the light board with Rong Yu's name on it.

Suddenly! A black and white circular Tai Chi symbol appeared on the large screen projection!

That's the pattern captured by the camera above, which is the pattern on the stage floor.

The stage lights began to flash, as if counting down. When the lights flashed for the fifth time, six figures suddenly appeared on the stage!

What was refreshing was that all six of them wore ghost masks and were divided into two groups: three people stood on a black Tai Chi diagram, dressed in white, and three people stood on a white Tai Chi diagram, dressed in black robes.

"Ding-a-ling!" A soft bell rang, and the six people moved at the sound. The three in black robes quickly sat cross-legged on the ground with their hands flat on their knees, while the three in white immediately stood on one leg and put their hands together in a prayer position.

A melodious flute tune filled the air, and a bamboo forest with fluttering bamboo leaves appeared on the stage backdrop, highlighting the six people's motionless postures. It even had the charm of being as immovable as a mountain and calmly observing the changes in martial arts.

"Clang!—" The sound of swords being drawn suddenly rang out, and as if receiving some command, they all began to swing!

The music of "Black and White Infinity" played simultaneously, and the modified music, which incorporated DJ vibration elements, actually fit the song quite well!

Just as they jumped to a certain point, all six of them took off their masks at the same time!

The camera zoomed in on the big screen, allowing everyone to see their faces clearly.

Yin Chengjue saw that Rong Yu was wearing a black robe, with a red mark painted between her eyebrows and two red lines painted on her face.

"Black and White" briefly describes the conflict between the righteous path and the demonic race, so it's understandable that they divide their team into these two factions.

Just as Yin Chengjue was about to admire how beautiful Rong Yu looked in her ancient costume, he saw them suddenly tear off their clothes as the next drumbeat sounded!

The crowd erupted in cheers: "Aaaaaah!"

Even though these trainees were wearing short-sleeved shirts and long pants underneath to make it easier for them to perform difficult moves, that didn't stop the fact that tearing off clothes was incredibly exciting!

Yin Chengjue touched his nose. He admitted that the moment he saw Rong Yu tear her clothes, he had a thought that he wanted to tear them clean for her himself.

This isn't some great demon, it's clearly a little imp!

What's even more surprising is that they actually added a rap section to this ancient-style ballad. While Wen Yu was rapping, Rong Yu and Chi Yang each did a bboy (floor walk) on either side.

It's usually difficult for b-boys to be perfectly synchronized, but Rong Yu and Chi Yang, being similar in height and leg length, managed to do it quite well, especially the final step where they lifted their feet and paused, almost perfectly in sync.

It's clear they put in a lot of effort practicing backstage.

They really gave it their all for this performance.

"Black and white, white and black, good and evil, evil and good, who can tell right from wrong..." As the last song ended, the six returned to their original Tai Chi black and white positions and struck their closing poses.

When the music stopped, the whole audience cheered!

Looking at Rong Yu on the big screen, whose chest was rising and falling slightly, Yin Chengjue couldn't help but feel an urge to go up and hug her tightly!

He held back.

Wait a little longer. After this performance, he can take the other person out. Should they go to a sauna first to relax, or should they have a big meal to replenish their energy?

Yin Chengjue began to seriously consider it.

Yin Chengjue didn't watch the next two performances. His mind was filled with the image of Rong Yu dancing on stage in a black robe, with sword shadows and flashing blades against the backdrop, and their robes fluttering in the wind...

Even after their clothes were torn, the outfits they wore still had elements of martial arts, making them look tall, handsome, and heroic.

As expected of Rong Yu, she looks good in anything.

As Yin Chengjue pondered this, he glanced at Rong Yu, who was standing in the rest area next to the stage.

Coincidentally, he met Rong Yu's gaze!

The two were quite far apart, so they couldn't see each other very clearly, but for some reason, Yin Chengjue knew that the other person was also looking at him.

Because Rong Yu's gaze was just too... aggressive?

Is it just my imagination?

Yin Chengjue was a little confused. He rubbed his eyes and looked over again, only to see Rong Yu smiling gently and waving in his direction.

Hmm, it was just an illusion! How could Rong Yu possibly have that expression, like a snow wolf that hasn't eaten for days seeing its live prey?

Just then, the last group finished their performance, and the audience cheered again. The host returned to the stage and invited the two groups that had performed earlier to come up on stage.

Host: "Now we're opening the voting channel for the six members of the third group. You have one minute to vote. The total number of votes you receive will be the sum of the votes cast live and the votes cast online!"

Host: "This is the final performance. After the voting ends, we will compare the votes with the previous two groups. The top six members will sit on our golden throne!"

As the host spoke, he pointed to the back of the stage, and the curtain fell, revealing a podium with three steps and six seats.

The crowd cheered appropriately, and the trainees all looked towards the sixth position.

The host started the countdown and asked the audience to count down with her.

As the last "1" sounded, several colorful cannons were launched from the stage, perfectly timed.

"Alright! The voting is now closed! The rankings of our boys are out, and I am very honored to announce this exciting final group lineup!"
