Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 513 A Public Stage

Chapter 513: Chapter 513 A Public Stage

Everyone was sharing their experiences in a few words, the banter laced with a hint of sadness and helplessness, but more so, with contentment.

This heartwarming scene also infected the audience in the live stream; even the stage outside didn’t seem as exciting anymore.

"My God, I’m about to cry, the trainees really have it tough."

"I never understood why my little niece liked watching this live stream, but now I think I get it. Everyone is shining in their own field, how could a group of brave youths chasing their dreams not be worth following?"

"Wuwuwu, although this team isn’t the strongest, they have the best atmosphere, I really wish everyone could stay."

"I don’t care, I’m going to vote like crazy for little angel Shiguang!"

Outside the live stream, Jiang Mingyu was crying even harder.

He never imagined that, after being away for several years, his little Xiao Shixu had transformed from an introverted child into such a sensible adult, even surpassing him in many ways.

As a father, he had not even been there for him.

Seeing Jiang Mingyu sobbing like this, An Jing shuddered severely.

Was it really necessary to be so moved by some motivational talk?

These fans were truly frightening.

She decided she might as well stick to cooking.

Chicken soup might be fake, but at least the money was real.

Soon, it was Xi Yang and his group’s turn to perform.

They chose a currently popular hit song, which after being remixed with rock elements and paired with their nearly flawless performance, instantly electrified the crowd and shot the stage’s popularity to the top of the Weibo trending list.

The high-level executives at Taiqi Entertainment were grinning so hard they could hardly contain their joy. It was no surprise to them; the contestants they had placed their bets on were truly strong.

Despite being mentally prepared, when it was Jiang Shixu and his group’s turn to head to the waiting area, they were still a bundle of nerves.

Especially Jiang Shixu himself.

He had blurted out those words earlier on a whim, and now, having calmed down, he was a complete wreck.

The stage lights went out, and Xi Yang and his group came down, sweating profusely.

They seemed to sense they had performed well and were beaming with energy.

Seeing Jiang Shixu and the others leaning against the wall waiting for their cue, Xi Yang provocatively tilted his chin up and then walked over and patted Jiang Shixu on the shoulder.

"Good luck, roomie, don’t feel pressure. After all, you already have an A, so even if you fail on this big stage, you won’t be eliminated. But it’s different for the people following you..." He said, his contemptuous gaze sweeping over each of them, then he walked away laughing without looking back.

Tai Fan clenched his fists tight, "Damn it, Xi Yang is too annoying, still not forgetting to provoke us like this. Xiao Shiguang, how can you stand sleeping in the same room with him?"

Jiang Shixu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Just pretend he’s not there..."

Tai Fan: "...."

Sometimes, being a bit insensitive is a blessing.

The director in the earpiece rushed them to get on stage; the group quickly adjusted their outfits, took a deep breath, and walked towards their positions.

The sounds from the audience seats died down considerably, and then the music started, with the surrounding lights gradually brightening.

"It’s Shiguang’s group!"

"Performing right after Xi Yang, that’s brutal. They’ll be crushed instantly, won’t they?"

"And they chose such a mellow old song. Everyone was just hyped up; it’ll be hard to get into the mood."

"I don’t even want to watch anymore; I want to go dig up Xi Yang’s live capture video on some site."

Just as the comments predicted, the audience, who had just reached the peak of excitement, were not in the mood to continue indulging in such a sentimental old song.

No sooner had the familiar prelude begun, they thought they already knew what the lyrics would be.

But in an instant, the relaxed rhythm took a sharp turn, surging like mountains and rivers, followed by a cheerful flute melody weaving in, as the lights around also brightened.

It was Ling Bei.

He was dressed in a white Tang suit, holding a jade flute, playing it while slowly walking out from the center of the stage.

This solo flute performance was splendid; it was a melody they had never heard before, and the rhythm was lively, instantly stirring the emotions of the audience.

As the flute note cleverly fell, Jiang Shixu’s singing voice cut in.

His voice was clean and "spiritual," and far from being overshadowed by the flute, it added a profound and serene quality.

The surrounding stage effects changed along with it, creating a scene of bamboo leaves flying.

The audience was taken aback.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a melancholic song about the passage of time? Yet it was transformed into this?

The novel and bold approach drew the attention of many, even the four mentors brightened up at the sight.

Jiang Shixu’s voice started the song off well; one after another, several contestants walked out, telling a story of affairs and emotions in Jiang Lake through their singing.

Each person donned specially made traditional Chinese costumes, especially Jiang Shixu’s light blue robe, which made him look like an innocent young master, noble yet untouched by worldly affairs.

Just as everyone’s emotions were being stirred again, the melody changed abruptly, and the light and ethereal turned tense and solemn, while Tai Fan’s rap segment ignited this thrilling atmosphere to the climax.

As the story drew to a close, Jiang Shixu’s voice came out once more. This time it was not long and melodious, but rather mournful and plaintive, until in the end all other sounds vanished, leaving only his haunting voice.

His voice was so piercing, coupled with the moving melody, that even people who had listened to it countless times could not help but shed tears.

"Oh my God, I’m shocked. Has Shiguang been practicing in secret without us knowing? His voice is so much steadier."

"Help, this part is too beautiful; it’s giving me chills."

"This sounds even better than the original song. Sob, sob, sob, I can’t help but cry."

"You’re too weak; my roommate is already crying so hard she can’t catch her breath."

The song originally set against the backdrop of Jiang Lake was about the protagonist’s confession, lament, and reminiscence, but after the makeover, it was completely transformed into a story of young people’s joys and sorrows in Jiang Lake, until everything turned to nothingness and left behind only helplessness and wistfulness.

"What an exciting performance." Xiao Yi was the first to stand up and applaud. "How did you think of expressing it in this way? It’s perfect, you’ve improved all the shortcomings of the original song, and the voices of several of you fit together very well."

He remembered that each of these individuals had their weaknesses, but the tune, melody, and division of parts had allowed everyone to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, which was completely different from what he had originally taught.

Ling Bei took over the microphone, very excited yet humble, "It is all thanks to our captain."

Besides having excellent vocal conditions, Jiang Shixu was also very sensitive to vocal music; he could clearly distinguish the strengths and weaknesses of each person’s voice and then tailor parts for each of them.
