Chapter 682: Chapter 430: The Keller Cup’s Strongest Connection!_2

Lin Tian was so moved that tears were about to fall.

For the official competition in a few days, Lin Tian had already decided on a piece to crush everyone.....

"Hey, hey, it’s them....."

At this moment,

the voice that was heard when they first entered the viewing room sounded in their ears again.

Due to everyone in the viewing room chatting away, the various noises made those comments not very noticeable.

However, Lin Tian still sharply detected that the target of the voice was aimed at him and Gan Yanyu.

Lin Tian furrowed his brow and turned his head to search for the source of the voice.

Suddenly,

a figure appeared in front of them.

"Hey!!"

A black guy came over to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, seemingly scanning them to identify who the main performer was. After confirming, he asked Gan Yanyu in slightly broken English,

"(Are you Gan Yanyu?)"

The black guy’s voice seemed naturally amplified, and as soon as he spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding contestants who were watching the show.

"(Who are you?)"

Lin Tian guarded Gan Yanyu with his arm and asked.

"(Alik Zorn.)" Zorn frankly announced his name.

"(French?)" Lin Tian replied.

"(Seems like you know me.)" The black guy said with a proud grin.

"(No, because you’re black.)"

As soon as he said this.

The atmosphere instantly became a bit tense, with a few cellists even bursting into laughter. Then, realizing the sanctity of the place under the gaze of those around, they quickly managed their expressions, fearing their grace would be knocked away by Jesus.

Zorn’s face turned red with anger, but he suppressed his emotions and spread his hands,

"(Boy, don’t do that!)"

"(Why don’t you explain to everyone how come, despite having withdrawn from the national competition finals without a reason, you’re still able to participate in the Keller Cup? And why you’re here in the same room watching with us?)"

As soon as he said this,

exclamations erupted all around.

"(National competition? Withdrew??)"

"(My God, withdrawing without a reason can get you banned for a year in our country!)"

"(Is the regulation of cello competitions in Tian Chao so lax? No wonder the results are poor every year!)"

"(OMG! How could they even be chosen? What kind of connections do they have?)"

"....."

Zorn’s words instantly ignited the crowd.

Many cellists looked over at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu with expressions of surprise, confusion, or even anger.

"Yes, we withdrew."

Lin Tian nodded with a smile, acknowledging.

Suddenly, it caused an even bigger wave.

In fact, the invitation mechanism for the Keller Cup is clearly stipulated in every major music country.

Usually, a country has only one slot, which means the champion is invited to the Keller Cup. If there are three slots, then it’s directly based on the top three final scores to participate in the Keller Cup.

Only in extremely special circumstances, if any of the top three give up the invitation, will it move to the fourth and fifth ranked.....

Under no circumstance would it go to someone with a "0 score" in the finals to participate.

There are many "special invite" connections.

But even "special invites" aren’t without bottom lines, at least they require a certain achievement in the national competition and must be absolutely free of career blemishes.

Otherwise, no matter how much "sponsorship," the Keller Cup Organizing Committee would never allow participation.

A "0 score" special invite is unprecedented!

If Zorn hadn’t suddenly exposed this, the attending musicians would never have imagined that one of them had such strong backing!

Withdrawing yet still entering the Keller Cup?!

And what’s most unacceptable.

This is the viewing area for the second stage escort players.

Only musicians with certain music status in their countries have the qualification to sit here.

Damn it, enough with the connections.

But sharing a room with me?

Our country’s musicians earned their escort quotas through blood and sweat, what makes you qualified??

This is why Zorn could no longer bear it and had to come out to publicly question them.

Meanwhile,

in a corner, American cellist Brian was fuming.

He pulled out a handkerchief again and furiously wiped the hand that had just shaken with Lin Tian’s in front of Perkins.

He thought that an "external wildcard zone connection" was astonishing enough.

But to find out now that they not only didn’t win, but even withdrew!

Withdrawing!!

This was more dire than Brian’s most pessimistic imaginations.

He had just missed sharing such critical information!

In the U.S., a cellist leaving a competition without reason is a blatant insult to the music society!

Should Tian Chao netizens’ tolerance be lowered?

"(I can’t... can’t handle this! The Brian family...)"

Brian was dissatisfied with the handkerchief’s efficiency and opted to rub his palms on his dress pants till they nearly sparked.

"(My God, boy!)"

After Lin Tian admitted it, Zorn was stunned for a full ten seconds before exclaiming,

"(If I were you, I’d have no face to sit here, leave, my friend! No one will fault you for participating in the Keller Cup, but seeing you here honestly makes me want to puke...)"

"(But until the competition starts, you don’t have the right to evaluate us, do you?)"

Lin Tian was about to speak, but was interrupted by Gan Yanyu beside him.

When Gan Yanyu spoke, the black guy was bewildered once more, as if he hadn’t expected the other side to respond with such confidence.

"(Sitting here is a right given to us by the organizers.)"

Gan Yanyu said calmly,

"(If you believe we should prove our right with our strength, then I think if you have it, I can have it too.)"

"(My strength is above yours.)"

After Gan Yanyu calmly said this.

Even the nearby Lin Tian was wide-eyed in astonishment.

Wait,

where did this silly girl learn to speak like this?

Zorn was completely dumbfounded, holding his head in disbelief,

"(You...)"

"(I’ve watched your tapes, Mr. Zorn.)"

Gan Yanyu said,

"(Your music is like your personality, frivolous, lacking in stability. In serious performances that require pure emotion, your playing cannot release the emotions well.)"

"(You say I’m not stable... ??)"

Zorn held his forehead, with a face clearly saying "O!M!G!!"

He never expected to be critiqued so openly as "not good enough" by an unassuming girl from a wildcard zone at the prestigious Keller Cup.

At this time, the surrounding discussions were increasing.

With Gan Yanyu’s remarks, some cellists naturally shifted the topic onto Zorn.

The focus of discussion briefly turned to Zorn himself.

Zorn’s face started to fall apart.

"(What gives you the right....)"

"(Have you watched our performance tapes?)" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Gan Yanyu interrupted again.

"(I...)"

Zorn’s words got stuck in his throat.

Watching opponents’ performance tapes is indeed a habit of contestants, but how could he have bothered to watch an unknown...

"(If you haven’t watched them, then you have no right to critique me.)" Gan Yanyu stated.

"....."

Zorn was rendered completely speechless!

There were so many things he wanted to articulate, but seeing the surrounding discussions increasingly detrimental to him.

He could only leave behind one harsh remark:

"(Just wait!)"

"...."

After Zorn left, Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu, genuinely surprised.

"Impressive, Little Gan, you even managed to blow him up."

"I didn’t blow him up."

Gan Yanyu said with genuine innocence,

"I really watched his competition."

"When did you watch his recordings? I didn’t know."

"I watched all the competition recordings of the escort players this time." Gan Yanyu said.
