After recording the letter-writing segment, the first ranking announcement took place.
Each time a name was read out, the audience would react with a variety of micro-expressions.
Even though the time spent as trainees was tough and tiring, none of them wanted to leave.
This is a talent show jointly organized by five countries.
The more rounds you go through, the more exposure you'll get.
Yuuki Mizunashi crossed her arms and silently prayed in her heart:
Please, please let me advance!
Let me stay a little longer!
...
"14th place goes to Yuuki Mizunashi from Japan! Congratulations!"
Shi Xi felt a surge of emotions when she read the name of the Sakura girl.
Japanese girls have a pure and cute appearance, but they are not actually the type that people in the US like.
But she is very talented, and she attracted many fans after the first episode aired.
Despite not getting much screen time later on, her outstanding performance in the first round finally secured her a place in the top 15.
The Japanese girl thanked them profusely and sat down in 14th place.
The instructor continued to announce the rankings of the other participants.
Mu Zhaozhao stayed on, ranking 9th.
In the boys' group, Li Jinfan ranked 7th and Bai Cangyang ranked 2nd.
Ultimately, the trainee who made it to the top spot was still Philomena from the girls' group.
"The Top" is a talent show organized by the United States. Although it is a joint effort of five countries, they still want to promote their own country's artists.
After the rankings were recorded, everyone burst into tears.
The mentors left, leaving the space to the trainees.
...
After the ranking recording was finished, Shi Xi went home.
Back at the villa, Shi Xi saw Shi Chen dressed in pajamas, playing games in the living room.
"Second brother? Why didn't you go to work?" Shi Xi asked, somewhat puzzled.
You wouldn't normally guess that Shi Chen plays games.
Shi Chen said, "I'm leaving get off work early."
Shi Xi: "...Being a boss is great." She wanted to be one too.
"I heard from Ron that you know swordsmanship?" Shi Chen looked over and asked, "When did you learn it?"
“Uh,” Shi Xi blinked and said, “When filming period dramas, there were martial arts scenes, so I learned a little bit.”
Shi Chen nodded casually. "K City is holding a swordsmanship competition. Do you want to participate?"
Shi Xi was slightly surprised. "Huh? Can I participate?"
Shi Chen: "Of course, the competition is sponsored by our company."
"Forget it, I don't have much time..."
"The prize money is $200,000."
How do I register?
Shi Chen: ...He didn't understand why his sister had become so obsessed with money.
As the registration process reached its final step, Shi Xi pointed to a number and asked, "What is this?"
Shi Chen peeked over and said, "Registration fee: $10."
Shi Xi: "I know, I'm asking about the number below."
"The number of registered applicants is over 10,000." Shi Chen said matter-of-factly, "That's alright, it's normal."
Shi Xi was surprised, "So many people signed up?"
"yes."
After chatting with Shi Chen for a while, Shi Xi learned that K City was a famous city of swordsmanship.
Eight out of ten people know swordsmanship.
Most people start learning swordsmanship from a young age. Every school has swordsmanship courses, and swordsmanship schools can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The government holds a swordsmanship competition every year, awarding the winners with generous prize money and honorary medals.
The fencing hall also frequently hosts small competitions to attract participants.
In this atmosphere, K City has developed its own unique sports style.
Passed down through generations, the environment for swordplay has remained very stable.
Shi Xi felt a little envious.
If ancient martial arts had such a good atmosphere for inheritance, martial arts schools wouldn't be closing down one after another, and it wouldn't be so difficult for various ancient martial arts to find a successor.
