Chapter 9



After the trainees choose their seats, the instructors will re-evaluate them based on their next performances.

The order of performances is determined by the order of the draw just now, and Lu Xu is ranked one place ahead of "Age of Innocence".

"Student Lu Xu, what performance are you preparing?" It can be seen that Xu Lele really likes Lu Xu, and he can't help but chat with him whenever he meets him.

Programs are not secrets, and Lu Xu has nothing to hide: "Singing."

"Wow, I really want to hear you sing!" Xu Lele looks like a smile, and his two little pears are very cute. He originally wanted to continue asking what song Lu Xu was singing, but was pulled back by his teammates, saying that they needed to run in before going on stage.

"I've already told you that we haven't practiced for long, and you're still asking, are you stupid?" In the eyes of his teammates, Lu Xu's so-called lack of practice time was just a pre-sale for himself. Just looking at his face, it's easy to have expectations for him, but the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Instead of waiting for him to fall from grace after the performance, it's better to make fun of himself in advance to give the audience a psychological preparation.

No matter how bad the performance is, it's still Class F. If you're lucky, you can get into Class D or C, which would be a pleasant surprise.

Lu Xu didn't care what the trainees behind him were saying, he just stared at the display screen.

Soon, the first group finished their performance.

In line with the principle of ladies first, Qin Ruowei became the first instructor to speak.

"Your self-assessment is B, right?" Her tone was calm, and her face showed no emotion. No one knew whether this was a good or bad thing.

Several trainees looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.

Qin Ruowei raised her eyebrows and confirmed the result with the other three instructors in a low voice. Then she continued, "I saw in the data that you have been training for three years, but I don't see any trace of training in you at all."

This was a bit harsh, and the trainees on the stage blushed, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

According to the final result of the instructors' discussion, all four people were demoted. Except for the captain in Class C, the other three all went to Class D.

The opening was so strict that the trainees immediately became nervous——

"Oh my god! Is it going to be so exciting right from the start?"

"I suddenly feel so panicked, I feel like I have to go to Class F to accompany Lu Xu."

"You think too much, maybe Lu Xu has been promoted!"

...

The next two teams also had promotions and declines.

The instructors are really good at their job, and you can see the strengths and weaknesses of each member through a performance. Those

with talent will be promoted from Class C to Class B, and those without ability will drop to Class D or even Class F.

The ranking changes rapidly, and no one knows what their next fate will be.

Before Lu Xu went on stage, Xu Lele was still cheering him up, but he was really not nervous at all. He

was used to life and death, and it seemed like performing on stage was just a small scene.

"The next one to come out is the trainee from Yaoguai Entertainment..."

Hearing Liang Da calling his name, Lu Xu walked slowly to the center of the stage against the light.

The light shining on him made people feel that he was brighter than the light.

Even the judges in the audience were not calm when they saw this. Shen Chengyu spoke first: "Lu Xu, you are only eighteen years old this year, right?"

The two-hundred-year-old Lu Xu pursed his lips and nodded vaguely as a tacit agreement.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyu gave Qin Ruowei a look and joked, "He is a younger brother."

Qin Ruowei actually liked Lu Xu's face and said generously, "Even if you are handsome, I will not let you off."

In this case, Lu Xu did not need to say anything more. He just glanced at Ji Xiunian intentionally or unintentionally and raised his eyebrows slightly -

his face looked very handsome, but I didn't know what he was like inside.

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Gu Wen'an raised his hand to Lu Xu and said, "You can start."

Immediately, a staff member bent over and went on stage to bring a stand to Lu Xu.

The lights in the studio suddenly dimmed, leaving only a beam of light on the stage chasing Lu Xu.

The music started, and Lu Xu held the microphone with both hands, singing in a low voice with a slight smile: "You are a light in the dark night, leading me to death happily..."

His voice was clean and clear, and he sang his own poem slowly.

"Look how beautiful death is, with the splendor that cuts through the sky..."

The ethereal singing lingered in everyone's ears, as if someone was standing in their hearts and singing.

The man on the stage raised his lips, his beautiful eyes shone, and his voice seduced everyone: "I want to sink and wander with you in the endless death..."

"God of love listens to my singing, and God of death dances with me..."

Lu Xu's singing was lazy, like the rustling of rain on the grass, and like wind chimes swaying in the wind...

He sang about death, but brought everyone beautiful memories of life.

It was not until long after the music ended that everyone came back to their senses from the atmosphere just now.

Seeing Lu Xu smiling innocently on the stage, not only were the judges surprised, but even the trainees were collectively going crazy——

"You sang so well, you should have gone directly to Class A."

"Wuwuwu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said I would go to Class F to accompany Lu Xu, I should have kneeled down to send him off for his debut."

"I was saying that the artists of Yaoguai Entertainment are all so outstanding that they are not human."

...

Gu Wen'an is a music fan, and when he came to his senses, he anxiously asked Lu Xu: "I don't think I have ever heard of the song you sang, is it original?"

Lu Xu just signed the contract yesterday, so he didn't have time to prepare any program. Thinking that he could at least enter the finals, he sang their Death God Club's anthem "Ode to Death".

The director asked someone to write this song in order to promote the good people in the Death Department and let everyone face death with a happy and calm mood.

Lu Xu was not sure who wrote it, but just said vaguely: "It's original, but it was written by my friend."

Gu Wen'an's eyes lit up instantly: "May I ask who your friend is? Is he still writing songs now?"

If someone who can write such a good song is signed, he will definitely shine in the Chinese music industry.

"He is not in this world..." Lu Xu only mentioned this sentence and did not say anything else, leaving enough room for everyone's imagination.

So he has passed away?

No one wanted to mention Lu Xu's sad things at this time, Gu Wen'an apologized and said: "My condolences."

It seems that everyone has always been very reluctant to mention the word death.

It seems that death represents pain, extinction, forgetfulness and other negative emotions.

Lu Xu did not want to give a long speech on the stage, but just quoted a writer in a relaxed tone: "Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life. As long as you understand this point, life will be much easier, right?"

Few people can talk about life and death as frankly as Lu Xu.

He gives people the feeling of being straightforward and natural, and the atmosphere of the whole studio instantly becomes relaxed.

When Lu Xu was speaking, Ji Xiunian couldn't help but look at him twice more. Before coming to the studio, he felt pain in his shoulders and back, as if something was pressing on him. But at this moment, his body was unusually light, and his spirits were much better. He always felt that these changes seemed to be related to Lu Xu, but then he thought he was overthinking, so he looked away again.

Regarding Lu Xu's re-evaluation, the instructors quickly discussed the result.

Before announcing the result, Qin Ruowei did not forget to ask: "The talent you showed just now was vocal music, and we are very curious about how you dance."

Lu Xu spread his hands: "I didn't have time to prepare."

His face was so provocative that the instructors didn't make things difficult for him.

The final result was announced by Ji Xiunian. He looked up at Lu Xu and said, "Lu Xu, you rated yourself F, right?"

Lu Xu nodded, "Yes."

Ji Xiunian did not ask why, but just congratulated him, "After our evaluation, we unanimously decided to assign you to Class A."

"Oh my God, you jumped from Class F to Class A, this speed is like a rocket!"

"You are handsome and sing so well, so you must be in Class A."

"So why did you choose Class F in the first place? You could just go to Class A."

As the first trainee rated A by the instructor, Lu Xu naturally became the focus of everyone again.

When Fan Zeng saw Lu Xu walk from the upper level to the A area, he felt like he had picked up a treasure, and his mouth was grinning to his ears.

Li Haichao watched from the side, unable to laugh.

He thought Bai Ze had just pushed out a vase this time, but he turned out to be quite capable.

He was such a good singer, why did he choose F to mislead others at the beginning?

The more Li Haichao thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Xu did this with Bai Ze's authorization, to suppress first and then promote, so that he could be in the limelight.

Bai Ze looked unsurprised by the insult, as if he had known the result. Li Haichao couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Treacherous!"

Lu Xu naturally didn't know that someone was busy labeling him.

He walked to Area A and sat down, but he was thinking about the scene he had just seen -

from the moment Ji Xiunian came in, he saw the black air lingering around him.

Once a person's yang energy weakens, naturally, unclean things will come looking for him.

Judging from Ji Xiunian's condition, he should have been harassed for a long time, but those things sensed his presence and did not dare to follow him in.

If Ji Xiunian really wanted to borrow his life, he shouldn't have such troubles.

But nothing is absolute, maybe he was deliberately acting to confuse them.

Didn't Xie An also say that the organization had sent three members to investigate before. As a result, all of them defected to the enemy and became fans. He couldn't take it lightly.

In the studio, the ratings were still going on.

Lu Xu's performance seemed to have encouraged the trainees. A student from Class F went to Class A, so they should work harder to avoid being too embarrassed.

So after Lu Xu, a watershed appeared, and the strength of the first three groups seemed to be quite average.

The further back the trainees are, the stronger their comprehensive abilities are. Especially Song Zhe's group, their stage performance has reached the debut level. Even for an outsider like Lu Xu, their group dance coordination is tacit, and their singing skills are also outstanding among the trainees.

The instructors were also in a difficult situation, and they discussed for a long time before making a decision.

"We all agree that the comprehensive abilities of the five of you are good, so the final evaluation is 5A."

"Ahhh..."

"Great!!"

"Azhe, we are all A!"

The members on the stage were very happy, but then they had doubts -

there are only seven seats in the A area, including Lu Xu, and there are already three people sitting there.

In other words, there are now a total of eight people who have received the A grade, which obviously exceeds the limited number of people.

A guess was about to pop up in everyone's mind.

Sure enough, Shen Chengyu soon spoke out the solution: "If one of you wants to play a tiebreaker, please go to Area A and choose one person to battle. The winner of the tiebreaker will be eligible to sit in Area A."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience -

"There's actually a battle segment in the first game?"

"Oh my god, everyone is so strong, isn't this a fight between gods in reality?"

"The four mentors are really too bad, but I like it so much, hehe."

...

Except for the three players in Area A who were waiting to be challenged, the other trainees were all in the mood to watch the excitement and not mind the trouble.

Seeing the challenger Song Zhe slowly walking towards them, the trainee named Zhou Yu next to Lu Xu sighed and said, "It's over, he will definitely choose me. Wuwuwu..."

Another trainee named Wang Lin was calm and waved to Song Zhe directly, "Choose me, choose me, I'm ready to give up my position to you."

Song Zhe looked at them respectively, but was very curious about Lu Xu's reaction now.

As a seed player in this year's talent show, Song Zhe has always been generally well-liked by everyone. Song Zhe is also very confident in himself, and always feels that he was born for this stage.

He knows most of the powerful members in other groups and is mentally prepared.

But no one expected that Lu Xu would suddenly appear halfway.

Song Zhe walked to area A and stopped. Everyone's eyes fell on him, curious about what he would choose.

Seeing Lu Xu looking at him, Lu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, ready to fight at any time.

Just when many people guessed that Song Zhe would choose Lu Xu, he suddenly moved his feet and finally stopped in front of Zhou Yu: "Hello, I want to battle with you."

Zhou Yu wailed, with an expression that he had been waiting for this for a long time. His strength is good, but Song Zhe is obviously better.

The result is no surprise that Song Zhe won.

He walked to the position next to Lu Xu, looking down at him, with a storm in his eyes, as if he regarded him as an opponent.

Lu Xu didn't care about this at all, just moved to the side to make room for him.

Song Zhe was stunned for a moment, and could only sit down as Lu Xu said. When

he came back to his senses, he felt a little annoyed. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that his momentum was suppressed by Lu Xu.

Later, trainees who got A-level evaluation one after another, like Song Zhe, chose their own opponents to battle.

It's strange to say, all the A-level trainees around have been replaced, but no one came to challenge Lu Xu.

From the moment he sat in the C position of Zone A, he never came down again...

After a day of hard recording, the first episode of "The Birth of an Idol" finally ended.

The instructors left first, and the trainees were busy packing their luggage and checking into the training camp.

In order to facilitate the recording, the program crew directly renovated an old apartment next to the TV station and used it as a training and accommodation venue for the players.

Bai Ze asked someone to help Lu Xu pack his luggage.

Because it was a completely closed training, Bai Ze, as an agent, couldn't go in.

"Don't be too stressed, just be yourself." Bai Ze was a little surprised after watching Lu Xu's first recording.

At the end, Bai Ze couldn't help but say: "You are not the same as the Grim Reaper in my impression..." Lu

Xu smiled and tilted his head and looked at him: "What do you think the Grim Reaper should be like?"

Strict, cold, taciturn...

Bai Ze thought of a few key words in his mind, but he felt that such a summary seemed a bit too one-sided.

Lu Xu seemed to know what he was thinking and shrugged indifferently: "Nothing in this world exists according to a template. No matter what the image is, as long as you do your essential job well, it will be OK."

"That's true." Bai Ze took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, and saw Lu Xu looking at him with some curiosity.

It was rare to see him with such an expression, Bai Ze immediately asked: "Is there any problem?"

Lu Xu lowered his eyes, supported his chin with one hand and nodded his chin at the glasses in Bai Ze's hand: "Actually, I've always been a little curious, do you monsters also become nearsighted?"

"..."

Bai Ze shook his head: "No, at least I'm not nearsighted." While speaking, he put the glasses back on and explained seriously, "I just think that this is more in line with the domineering president's personality."

"Interesting." Lu Xu nodded to show that he understood, then opened the car door and got out, and happened to meet Xu Lele who came to the gathering.

"Brother Xu!"

Seeing Lu Xu from a distance, Xu Lele dragged her suitcase and ran towards him like flying, "We were in a hurry to leave just now, and I didn't have time to tell you that you sing so beautifully!"

Xu Lele felt that Lu Xu was a talented person from the beginning, but she didn't expect that he would amaze the audience as soon as he opened his mouth.

This is not a younger brother, this is clearly a older brother!

Xu Lele's admiration was written on her face, and Lu Xu was a little amused and could only say: "It's just like that, there's nothing good or bad about it."

"No!" Xu Lele is now considered a standard fan of Lu Xu. While others were not paying attention, he took out a talisman from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Xu's hand.

"What is this?"

Lu Xu looked at the yellow talisman in his hand and was a little confused.

"Amulet, to keep you safe." Seeing Lu Xu's bewildered expression, Xu Lele pointed to the old apartment not far away and explained in a low voice, "Brother Xu, let me tell you, this building is haunted..."
