72 -72: This School Beauty Has Something Going On_1

The contestants from Shu City Music Academy truly lived up to their reputation for exceptional talent.

After Rui Di Baby’s performance ended, the applause from the audience was deafening, and many judges nodded in approval of her performance.

Finally.

Rui Di Baby’s score came out – a total of 1890 points, the first score to exceed 1800 and approach 1900, currently the highest score.

“This student from Shu City Music Academy truly stands out in terms of skills and professionalism.”

Art Department Director Jiang Xiuli remarked briefly.

“Director Jiang, we need to ensure that the music specialization of our Art Department at Mist City Arts and Science University surpasses Shu City Music Academy’s – are you confident in that?”

Ding Yue turned and asked Director Jiang Xiuli.

“Sure, I have confidence.”

Jiang Xiuli nodded in response.

In reality, Jiang Xiuli thought, Principal Ding, as a young man, you’re still too naive.

Trying to surpass Shu City Music Academy, do you have any idea how challenging it is?

However!

At that moment, Ding Yue was pondering, Director Jiang, surely you don’t think I’d make such statements without having a clear plan, right?

Unlikely, right?

Unlikely, right?

With the aid of the Famous School System and the various items from the system store, elevating the arts department of Mist City Arts and Science University to the leading arts department in the nation would-be-child’s-play.

Only a matter of time.

Director Jiang Xiuli is on the third floor.

While Ding Yue is already on the fifth floor…

The twenty-seventh contestant on stage, a young man from the Z ethnic group of the Plateau Province, obtained a high score of 1820 with his resounding high notes and steady performance.

He was the second contestant to break the 1800 mark.

Following him was contestant number thirty-eight.

When the host declared his name, the girls in the audience started to squeal his name fanatically.

“Wang Jin!

Wang Jin!”

“Ahhhh!!

Wang Jin is finally on!”

“Wang Jin!

I can!”

“Wang Jin fly brave, crystal always follow!”

Hearing these fervent cheers from the girls, Ding Yue felt a sense of déjà vu.

Wasn’t this the usual routine of diehard fans?

When contestant Wang Jin made his appearance on stage, Ding Yue noted that he was your typical young male star – wiry, and lacking in masculinity.

His face was as smooth as porcelain – no wonder he was able to attract so many female fans.

Ding Yue initially thought that Wang Jin’s talent would be mediocre.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jin chose to sing “Opera 2,” which was quite impressive indeed!

When Wang Jin’s first “Ah~” resounded, Ding Yue had a complete change of opinion of him.

“What’s Wang Jin’s story?”

Ding Yue, frowning, looked over to Wen Ruohan and Director Jiang Xiuli and asked.

“Principal Ding, Wang Jin is also from Shu City Music Academy.

He’s signed with Penguin Entertainment Company, you could consider him a semi-professional artist.”

Wen Ruohan briefly explained to Ding Yue.

“No wonder…” Ding Yue mumbled to himself.

This was another student from Shu City Music Academy.

And one signed under the notorious Black-hearted Penguin.

It seemed that Shu City Music Academy was indeed formidable.

Out of the three contestants who had performed exceptionally well so far, two were from Shu City Music Academy.

When Wang Jin finished his performance, he received a stunning score of 1905!

What does 1905 points mean?

Basically, it guaranteed him a spot in the finals!

“Principal Ding, do you think the four promotional spots in our Southwest Division might all be taken by Shu City Music Academy’s students?”

Wen Ruohan asked with concern.

“What nonsense are you talking about,” Ding Yue glared at Wen Ruohan.

“Sister Ruohan, I believe in Sister Xiao Rou.

You don’t know how hard she works during training.

Those who work hard are definitely rewarded,” Xiao You chimed in.

As Lin Zhirou’s “little sister”, Ding Xiaoyou had faith that Lin Zhirou would definitely shine and grab a spot in the final round.

Some time went by.

The contestants on stage didn’t particularly impress.

Contestants from number thirty-nine to forty-three had scores mainly ranging from 1500 to 1750.

As the judges put it, their singing was much better than an average person, but lacked musical professionalism.

There was definitely room for improving their singing skills.

They were karaoke kings quality in a KTV setting.

However, in the real pop music scene, their singing would be considered just passable.

What the judges valued the most was singing skills and the resonance the performance elicited from the audience.

In simple terms, a good singer is one who can sing well and evoke strong emotions in the audience.

The contestant number forty-four went on stage and sang quite well.

The judges gave him a total score of 1790.

If nobody stronger comes after this, this score of 1790 could possibly secure the fourth place and a chance to move to the final round.

However, it’s a pity.

Because who was to follow next was the university belle from Mist City Arts and Science University, Lin Zhirou.

As soon as the innocent and long-legged Lin Zhirou stepped on the stage, almost all eyes, including those of the staff, instantly got fixated on her.

“Which school is she from?

She’s stunningly beautiful, isn’t she?”

“Ah, I have a crush!”

“I love those slender long legs!”

“Legs for years!”

“Mom, I’m in love!

It’s her!

Her!”

“Dream on, you’re not worthy of such a pure and otherworldly girl like her.”

“The microphone is so long and white.”

Lin Zhirou was indeed dressed very innocently today, with her long hair slightly fluttering.

It was really hard not to be moved by her beauty.

It was a different case with Ding Yue, though.

He saw Lin Zhirou often, so he didn’t feel anything special about her.

She indeed looked slightly more beautiful.

But was it really so exaggerated?

Had these guys at the venue never seen a beautiful woman before?

However, Lin Zhirou, as the belle of Mist City Arts and Science University, managed to garner so much attention just by appearing on stage, which added a feather in the cap of the university.

Today for the semi-final, Lin Zhirou was scheduled to sing a classic song “Meet”.

Coincidentally, Ding Yue was quite fond of this Zi Zi’s song.

When Lin Zhirou started singing, Ding Yue felt confident.

Because it was the best cover version of “Meet” that he had ever heard, which could even rival the original of Zi Zi’s.

While singing this song, Lin Zhirou also demonstrated great singing skills with a professional touch.

As a student from Mist City Arts and Science University, with the additional effect of Ding Yue’s “BUFF”, and her own diligent training, her singing skills didn’t fall short of those of the professional music students from Shu City Music Academy.

Well-deserving of praise!

Attentive Ding Yue began observing the expressions of the judges.

It was apparent that all twenty judges approved and appreciated Lin Zhirou’s performance.

The audience was also listening attentively.

Just like that, the song ended.

The judges gave Lin Zhirou her score.

Ding Yue was slightly nervous at the moment.

It should not be a problem to score more than 1800, right?

It depended on whether the twenty judges appreciated Lin Zhirou’s performance or not.

Ding Yue believed that any normal musician wouldn’t give her a low score for her nearly perfect performance.

“1910 points!”

The final score was out.

She scored a whopping five points higher than Wang Jin.

Ding Yue laughed.

Very befitting of the school belle from my university!

Ding Yue then broke into a smug grin and shifted his gaze to Lin Zhirou on the stage.

His eyes fell on her perfectly proportioned headlights.

This belle has indeed got some points…
