Chapter 2253 - 2256: The Stunning Mermaid Princess Wins the Championship

On the stage, the charming Mermaid Princess Qian Ning, the once-in-a-millennium beauty, the unparalleled actress Song Weiyin, and Yu Wenzi, who possesses equal charm, were clapping while their beautiful eyes were firmly locked on Shen Qiang.

This situation made Gong Ziyi, who was slumped at the front of the stage, grit his teeth in resentment while a sudden spark of inspiration hit him.

"It doesn't make sense, my people have always stayed outside the sphere of Heshenghe's influence, never entering Heshenghe's sights. Even if Shen Qiang were an Immortal, there's no reason he would know!"

"Meet them!"

Gong Ziyi raised his eyebrows suddenly, thinking of Weisheng Zhimei, the Baihua Palace Master, whose stunning beauty could ruin nations, and her captivating smile.

"It's her, it must be her! That's right, no wonder in such hot weather, her journey to the ends of the earth was to spot my people and report to Shen Qiang without concern for the aftermath. Yes, it must be like this. Had she not gone to the ends of the earth, I wouldn't have disregarded Baihua Palace's stance. Trickster! Big scammer! Shameful to the extreme!"

Gong Ziyi's eyes were wide with wrath, and the icy intent emanating from him caused many in the audience to shudder involuntarily.

Meanwhile, the thunderous applause had already died down.

The host had returned to normal, loudly saying: "Next, let's invite the three judging teachers to critique Qian Ning, the contestant, and the guest performer Song Weiyin."

This statement brought the show undoubtedly back on track.

After all, this is a singing talent show. Although Shen Qiang's song indeed shocked everyone, the program is ultimately not a best composer competition. So even if at this moment the three judges are eagerly looking at Shen Qiang with a strong desire to discuss songwriting ideas with him, they still must complete their duties now.

"Despite being a contestant, as a professional musician, from a professional standpoint, I must admit that Qian Ning is undoubtedly a singer with hall-of-fame level skill. Her coloratura is vibrant, light, immaculate, and effortlessly flowing, making me feel somewhat embarrassed as a judge. If possible, I believe that Qian Ning should replace me and become the judge."

Hearing this, many in the audience nodded in agreement.

After all, Qian Ning's talent is evident, and such words are not an exaggeration.

The crowd applauded.

Then the host laughed and said: "Judge, don't forget tonight's guest performer."

Upon hearing this, the three judges exchanged glances, and the one who strongly suggested Qian Ning sit as a judge became solemn, saying seriously: "From a professional standpoint, Mr. Shen's magnificent, epic song is indeed more suited to a hall-of-fame maestro like Qian Ning with her gorgeous singing voice."

"Because only a singer as perfect as her can effortlessly handle this song. Except for her, I think, in this world, there wouldn't be more than three people who can manage the glamorous vocals in this song that defy fate."

"Therefore, for Song Weiyin, who possesses professional skill but is not a professional singer, this song is extremely challenging. And to say something not afraid of mockery, the ornate vocals in this song, I wouldn't even dare to try."

These words were shocking to all, indicating that even the judge was hesitant to try the ornate vocals, highlighting their extraordinary difficulty.

"But under this circumstance, Song Weiyin, with her professional attitude, ability, and sweet voice, perfectly demonstrated the true meaning of being a guest performer."

The judge talked eloquently: "As you've seen from the earlier performances, among the eight celebrity teachers invited to assist, some were there to steal the spotlight; they took over the singer's parts, trying their best to prove they had the singer's skill, but such act of upstaging reduced the initially perfect performance."

"But Song Weiyin is different; her sweet voice and professional attitude turned her singing into an instrument, perfectly integrating into the song, highlighting Qian Ning's singing even more flawlessly. So if we were to score the guest performers, I'd give Song Weiyin full marks!"

With these words, the audience burst into applause.

"Well said, indeed the judge has a keen eye. I felt Song Weiyin sang beautifully, but once the song played as a whole, the only things I remembered were Shen Qiang's commanding spoken word and Qian Ning's glamorous vocals. As for what exactly Song Weiyin sang, I don't have the slightest impression. Now thinking about it, the judge was right; her singing indeed integrated into the music, perfectly complementing Qian Ning."

"Truly big stars are different; willing to act as a backdrop, perhaps only remarkable women like Song Weiyin can achieve this."

"Yes, truly impressive; other guest stars were fighting for the best segments to showcase themselves, but actress Song Weiyin served as the green leaf. But considering her fame, she certainly doesn't need to vie for attention, because she is the attention!"

Amongst the applause, it was now the second judge's turn, who smiled before he spoke: "Thank you, Teacher Li, for your detailed critique, covering almost everything we could have said."

The crowd laughed.

"However, he overlooked a fundamental issue, which is the true mastery that makes one look up in awe is the song's author, Mr. Shen Qiang; he planned everything meticulously, including Qian Ning's glamour, Song Weiyin's calmness, and his own arrogance."

"Spoken word, vocal style, instruments—all these combined into a perfect song. So if possible, I'd only like to thank him because he is the true creator of all this. With him around, contestant Qian Ning is undeniably tonight's celestial singer, bar none."

Immediately, the applause surged like waves.

Shen Qiang once again became the focus of the audience.

At this time, the third judge laughed: "The two before me have been so thorough, leaving little for me, so I'll just summarize: Shen Qiang's song 'My Fate Is Decided By Me, Not By Heaven' helped Qian Ning become tonight's best singer!"

Instantly, the audience erupted with enthusiastic applause.

Meanwhile, the host also excitedly announced: "With the judges' critiques and the combined online votes, I now declare the winner of this celestial singer competition is... Miss Qian Ning!"
