Chapter 125 Part 1: Snatching Teammates, Pandora’s Box, the Terrifying Battlefield of Shura. (1)

The viewers in the live broadcast room had mixed feelings:

“We won, ‘Encounter With the World’ won.”

“We can only say that Honey Qing lost not unfairly; she didn’t bring out the ‘Heart Flow’ when the secondary rating was due, and she even faced setback in the dance part, not without reason.”

“Don’t worry, theoretically, according to the team setup, Ji Shuzhu is the person that Little Sakura’s team needs the most. The learning difficulty of a 4-person dance is quite high, and with the 5-person dance in the second performance, the choreographer is the best choice!”

Someone rationalized:

“Anyway, the least likely to be chosen is the Great Devil. Ji Shuzhu’s positioning by the choreographer, Honey Qing lacks overall strength, but Xie Qingxuan excels in dance and vocals, has almost flawless soft skills, regarded as the ace designated for this competition, Carry Center’s attributes are too heavy, Little Sakura’s choice to include her in the team is just asking for trouble.”

“Not necessarily, Honey Qing has unlimited potential. I am Little Sakura, and I am willing to bet on Honey Qing’s sudden burst. That level of ‘Heart Flow,’ if unleashed, will surely lead to victory.”

The audience excitedly discussed.

Chu Wang Shu happily hugged the trembling green-eyed cat next to her, who was a bit slow to react, and cheered:

“Yay, 9.5 points! Did we break a record?”

Kirimi Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy smile.

Although not knowing how many points the opponent’s performance received, achieving a score of 9.5 was beyond Kirimi Miyuki’s initial expectations.

It can only be said that choosing Tang Liuli as the interception was a very wise move. If she had been taken by Xie Qingxuan’s team, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Among all the contestants in Sea City, no one except Tang Liuli could bring “Encounter With the World” to such a high level, blending perfect singing skills, unique voice, deep emotions, and the overflowing “Heart Flow”.

Kirimi Miyuki had to admit that even with herself present, if Tang Liuli was replaced by Lin Baor, she could only guarantee a score of 80 at most, without hoping for the exaggerated results.

The former child star truly aimed to win back Chu Yuanqing in her own way, just as she claimed.

Little Sakura glanced at the green-eyed cat and her feelings towards it silently changed.

Maybe she needed to work harder from now on.

Whether Xie Qingxuan, Tang Liuli, or Chu Yuanqing, they all had the potential to become shining idols once ignited.

If she wasn’t careful, she might be surpassed as she watched them reach heights beyond her reach.

Unaware of being seen as a threat, Tang Liuli’s emerald eyes were swirling, her cute face blushing with a shy and embarrassed expression, covering her delicate features with her hands and trembling legs making her feel like a deflating paper tiger, even her pigtails drooping.

I want to die, I want to die, I want to die.

When singing “Encounter With the World”, there was a feeling of releasing everything, but realizing that I connected with so many audiences using “Heart Flow” to share inner emotions, it felt like being publicly humiliated on a large scale, almost like social death.

The green-eyed cat was so embarrassed that she gritted her teeth, and her teardrop mole at the corner of her eye turned pink. She swore fiercely in her heart that she would never use this silly “Heart Flow” again next time!

Moreover, going on stage was really tiring. She had used up at least a month’s worth of sunlight energy, pushing herself to the extreme limit.

Darn it, being an idol or something, I guess it’s better not to bother?

Tang Liuli kept muttering in her heart, using Chu Wang Shu, who was hugging her, as a cushion next to her. It seemed like she had already gotten used to the daily closeness with the other person.

This scene caused a frenzy among the fans on both sides in the live broadcast room, cheering that their favorite daughter pushed was really adorable.

On the other side, Chu Yuanqing and her group walked back to the stage from the dressing room. They faced the three people who had just finished their performance, waiting quietly for Dream Weaver Rabbit to announce the final results.

Dream Weaver Rabbit’s crimson eyes curved into a smile, looking at the two groups of people with satisfaction, clapping and praising:

“Your sweat and sparkle have created countless, unpredictable destiny stages!”

“Everyone, this is exactly what I wanted to see. Your performance has exceeded my expectations and truly reflects your determination so far.”

“I have a deep respect for your stage presence.”

“Unfortunately, even though all of you shine brightly, there is still a winner and a loser.”

Dream Weaver Rabbit sighed in regret as scores appeared next to each team.

Chu Yuanqing, Xie Qingxuan, Ji Shuzhu – 88.5 points.

Kirimi Miyuki, Tang Liuli, Chu Wang Shu – 95.5 points.

With a 7-point difference, victory and defeat were clearly divided.

Kirimi Miyuki’s smile grew brighter as she looked at Chu Yuanqing with shining eyes.

This time, it was her victory.

Little Qing, will you keep our promise, okay?

Chu Wang Shu grabbed the hand of the green-eyed cat, happily high-fiving to celebrate their victorious hug.

They actually won against the most luxurious 3A pair on the current competition stage!

Does this mean that being a Grade B player didn’t hold the team back?

Chu Wang Shu felt happier the more she thought about it, feeling a sense of satisfaction from her efforts being recognized. Her usual serious and reserved student image suddenly disappeared, replaced by a beaming smile and eyes full of joy.

Tang Liuli was even more proud, her confidence inflated rapidly, almost instantly like a fully inflated paper tiger. Briefly forgetting her social anxiety both physically and mentally, she braced her weak legs with Chu Wang Shu’s support, sneakily glancing at Xie Qingxuan in the distance.

Yet, before the green-eyed cat could even give a challenging look, with astonishing intelligence, she realized a terrifying truth.

Bad women nowadays must be super scary!

If she were to challenge them with her gaze now, she would surely be killed directly by their eyes!

The green-eyed cat shyly turned her gaze back, hiding behind Chu Wang Shu with only half of her face peeking out from behind her shoulder, showing her jewel-like green eyes blinking nervously. She glanced towards Mother Qing, who she knew wouldn’t scold her, and flashed a pleased silly smile.

Hmph, Honey Qing will definitely praise me for working hard, right?

On the other side,

Ji Shuzhu was still immersed in tasting the happiness of the shining flavors when she suddenly learned of the defeat.

However, as a foodie who chased after shimmering food itself, her first reaction wasn’t the worry of not being able to taste Chu Yuanqing’s shining flavors in the future, but a strong curiosity.

That is, what kind of shining flavor could be created on a stage as high as a Grade 9.5?

With such a simple mindset, she looked across at the three people, somewhat hoping to be chosen into their team to try out different flavors of shine.

Chu Yuanqing felt complicated, feeling a bit embarrassed.

If her skills were up to Grade A level, Qingxuan and Shuzhu might not have lost.

The rest aside, Zhao Dapan deducted four, five points, and at least half of it was because of his own mistake.

But on the other hand, the score earned by Miyuki, Liuli, and Little Shu’s team was indeed too high, so high that even if they practiced the song “ACUTE” for a few more days and performed it again, there was little hope of getting such a high score.

——Nine point five points.

To get such a high score, one must put in a lot of effort, right?

Chu Yuanqing daydreamed for a moment, suddenly recalling Kirimi Miyuki in a wedding dress, standing barefoot on a golden beach, holding her hands, earnestly saying a sentence that slightly stirred her heart.

——”Little Qing, I want to be with you all the time, I… want to be on the same stage with you.”

Truly strange.

Chu Yuanqing felt like a young widow invited out to an amusement park by a young person, her eyes wandering, feeling uncomfortable no matter what, she quickly patted her cheeks with her small hands to dispel the eerie deja vu, stopped overthinking, and looked at Xie Qingxuan with some concern.

Even after losing in the secondary rating, this child could still punish himself by using water torture in the bathtub, causing great concern about what terrifying things the opponent might do after losing on the stage.

Xie Qingxuan stayed quiet, she was not someone who couldn’t handle losing.

Survival of the fittest, winners and losers.

If you’re not as good as others, admit it. Asking annoying questions will only make yourself look silly.

Xie Qingxuan’s attitude towards the stage and training has always been the same. She really did her best in this competition, but still losing only proves one thing.

She was just too weak.

Xie Qingxuan’s eyes with deep black spirals became even more profound, with pupils in confusion.

If she can’t even win against competitors from her own region, how can she defeat her sister who mastered Heart Flow three years ago and reached an unknown level?

No, she can’t stop here. She must find a way to keep improving.

Whether it’s dancing, singing, or Heart Flow, she must become even better and stronger than before, until she reaches that person’s level, completely dominating and crushing it.

Only then, she has a clear direction to move forward and a reason to catch her breath.
