This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 448 - 335

(This Chapter is still 6,000 words long, but there’s a section I haven’t revised well, taking two hours to modify.)

(The previous Chapter made me dizzy, I forgot the finals format is different from the regular competition, revised it.)

The finals format is different from the regular competition format; it’s a group showdown method.

Now, there are seven singers on stage, divided into three groups for the showdown.

After one group finishes singing, the audience votes, and the one with the highest vote in the group advances.

After all three groups have sung, the remaining four eliminated singers undergo another vote, with one advancing to the second round.

That’s seven to four.

To avoid strong opponents facing off in the first round and being unfair to strong competitors, grouping isn’t done by drawing lots but by the top three with the most wins in regular competition forming groups, and the rest choosing which group to join.

Mo Mo won first place four times, the most, forming the first group.

Wu Mu also won four times, but one of those was the breakout competition, which doesn’t count, forming the second group.

The remaining Tsukishima Chizuru, Yi Junxi, and Liu Zhenyuan each won first place once, tying for third; their average scores per round determined their standings.

Eventually, Tsukishima Chizuru, with a higher average score, formed the third group.

Then the remaining contestants began choosing which group to join for the showdown.

As usual, the order of choosing was based on average scores.

Yi Junxi chose first.

He looked at the three contestants already on the grouping stage, his face expressionless.

"Pick Wu Dog! Pick Wu Dog!"

The girl next to Little Jiejie really hated Wu Mu, clenching her little fists and muttering.

Luckily, Little Jiejie felt the same; this time, unlike the previous goddess, he wasn’t pretending!

Little Jiejie nodded vigorously, "Yes, if Yi Junxi combines with this group, they can definitely crush Wu Dog! Just pick Wu Dog and stomp his face!"

Yi Junxi glanced at Wu Mu out of the corner of his eye, feeling a strong urge to directly pick Wu Dog too.

This time, his group combination seemed certain; he even felt this round was a sure win.

The chance for revenge and face-stomping was right before him.

But...

What if he lost?

Yi Junxi took a deep breath and walked to Tsukishima Chizuru to make his choice.

That Hua Country celebrity’s previous "Childhood" and "loser" didn’t scare him much; even "I have nothing" felt beatable.

But "Bohemian Rhapsody"...

He felt a bit uncertain.

Although it’s unlikely anyone has a second song of this caliber.

But... what if?

If he sought revenge and then even his group lost, he couldn’t bear that embarrassment.

"So lame." Little Jiejie was inevitably disappointed.

The girl beside him also felt annoyed, "As expected of a Korean, no guts at all. Getting bullied by Wu Dog like that and not daring to face him openly."

Next was Liu Zhenyuan, a calm, veteran South Korean singer with more courage.

After a quick glance around the stage, he directly chose Mo Mo’s group.

If choosing, then choose the strongest.

Next was Yuan Nong.

After hesitating a bit, she didn’t pick the still solo Wu Mu, but chose Tsukishima Chizuru and Yi Junxi, becoming the third member.

Not afraid of Wu Mu, but avoiding fellow countrymen first.

Although the show never emphasized nationality differences openly, publicity and online trends showed nationality always a huge focus. freewebnøvel.com

Finally, Yue Li felt a bit bitter.

She had no choice left, only Wu Mu had space.

Facing Wu Mu, she actually preferred joining the stronger three-member group.

"Alright, let’s welcome Liu Zhenyuan’s performance next."

After grouping, it quickly moved into the competition phase.

The low-ranked contestant from the first group went on stage first.

Liu Zhenyuan went on stage, and his guest performer also appeared amidst warm applause.

Unlike Yi Junxi’s hype-worthy guest performer, Liu Zhenyuan’s guest was a seemingly unremarkable South Korean female singer.

Not even well-known domestically.

"We’ve got this."

"Mo already won." The girl next to Little Jiejie sighed in relief, ready to pop half-time champagne for her idol.

Then...

"Such steady breath control!"

"I almost couldn’t catch my breath from listening to that sustained note!"

Liu Zhenyuan and his partner sang a solid Korean song, nothing fancy, but visibly strong and steady in fundamentals.

Their breath and extending notes were palpable even to non-music-savvy audiences.

Listening from the audience, Little Jiejie casually recalled a line - "Forty years of skill in one vocalization, can you withstand it?"

The girl beside him visibly grew more anxious, "Wondering what Mo will sing next and who his guest performer is."

The host came on stage, "Lingering sounds, lasting for days, Liu Zhenyuan’s strong skills clearly evident. Next, let’s welcome Mo Mo on stage, curious about what performance Mo Mo will bring us."

The camera switched to backstage.

The backstage interactions for the upcoming performance were shown.

At the entrance, the host greeted Mo Mo, "Welcome, Mo."

Turning to the guest entrance, "Finally revealing the mystery guest performer, still unknown till now, so mysterious!"

Mo Mo smiled mischievously, "Very mysterious."

"Who is it? Wait, don’t say it yet, let me guess, Gong Ling?"

After naming several people and getting denied, "None of these? Is the guest male or female?"
