Ireya carefully weighed her words before speaking. "Hua iniao, I can tell that you’re trying to do sothing very new, but isn’t your creative concept a bit too avant-garde... Personally, I think you could consider scaling it back a bit, don’t push so hard."
After giving her review, Miss Rabbit was about to hold up her sign, but Hua iniao beca anxious. Even though he had received direct affirmation from Li Yu, who said his chosen direction was worth exploring, the pressure of a first-show failure weighed heavily on his shoulders.
Unlike the other competitors, he didn’t co to participate in the Green Field’s open-mic missionary event for the substantial rewards behind it, but rather to prove his own choices, to prove that Li Yu hadn’t misjudged him.
So he didn’t want to be eliminated in the first round. Hua iniao pointed at the clock in front of the Lady and said, "Sir Ireya, isn’t there still ti left? Please give another chance. I actually have another song here, called ’The Lone Warrior’. I’d like to dedicate it to Maurice and Sabbath ier, who sacrificed themselves during the missionary work."
"Oh, oh, oh, then keep on singing." Miss Rabbit put down the wooden sign she had half lifted, and glanced at Li Yu beside her, noticing that the latter’s body shook at the ntion of those three words.
Li Yu was truly surprised at how Hua iniao could stir things up, launching one bomb after another. After "Wild Wolf Disco," he even managed to include an elentary school battle song in his lineup.
Others might just be music tailors, but he’s beco a music thief.
Shalessly exploiting the lack of royalty fees in Green Field.
With the Lady’s permission, Hua iniao quickly cleared his throat and began to strum the Layakin once more.
Compared to "Wild Wolf Disco," the rhythm of "The Lone Warrior" was much more relaxed, especially the first half, and it was more readily accepted by the locals on the Bratis Continent.
And so, more and more people began to imrse themselves in Hua iniao’s singing.
When Hua iniao sang, "I love your solitary walk through dark alleys, I love your unbowed deanor, I love how you faced off against despair, refusing to weep..." many Sabbaths also thought of their own missionary experiences and the various dangers they had faced, feeling deeply moved.
And those who had been close with Maurice and Sabbath ier found their eyes reddening with emotion.
When Hua iniao roared out "Fight, yes, fight!" the entire crowd was ignited in an instant.
Even Quintus, who had snuck in to listen, felt sothing ignite inside him. Although he had never t the two Sabbaths from the Double Rest Sect, their towering figures seed to materialize before his eyes, never to return.
Missionary work is tough, and even Priests from the Silver Moon Sect face grim odds when encountering robbers in the wild, for in the desolate wilderness, it’s hard to know who did the killing.
Thus, Quintus also listened with empathetic engagent to the song.
But precisely because of this, Quintus fell silent. He detested transmitting the faith through music, even though the Silver Moon Sect spent money every year hiring Minstrels to compose hymns of praise for Pisya and to sing them in various places.
However, in Quintus’s view, this was always the Minstrels’ job, and as a bona fide Priest, he wouldn’t stoop to that level.
And yet, at that mont, he had to admit that Hua iniao’s singing had a powerful infectiousness that was no less impressive than a successful sermon.
Even the not-so-successful first song, odd as it sounded, had a wicked catchiness. It would occasionally pop into Quintus’s mind, compelling him to repeat it.
Quintus was inwardly alard. Had he been unsuspectingly beguiled by the Double Rest Sect? Had he fallen under so curse? Otherwise, he couldn’t explain why he couldn’t get that bizarre tune out of his head.
Actually, Hua iniao mainly prepared "Wild Wolf Disco" for the competition, as he was almost addicted to his own song, had fully adapted it, and his changes to "The Lone Warrior" weren’t significant. Fortunately, the lyrics of the latter were already easy to comprehend.
There was no confusing stuff like beepers, 007, or Spring-Heeled Jack.
With just a few modifications, the song could be used as is, and this ti, the result finally improved. After the performance, the applause from the audience was unending, and so people even shouted for an encore.
Hua iniao himself didn’t mind going back onstage, but considering there were other contestants waiting, they moved on to the scoring segnt.
First ca the professional judges’ scores, from Ireya to Li Yu, who gave 8 points, 6 points, 9 points, and... 9 points in turn.
The last nine points were reluctantly given by Li Yu.
Hua iniao’s final co-from-behind song "The Lone Warrior" was a clever choice. Moreover, to a certain extent, he exploited the deaths of Maurice and ier, two Sabbaths, to further stir the audience’s emotions.
Li Yu himself wasn’t very fond of this approach, but he had to admit that a good missionary should be able to understand the tis and know how to manipulate human hearts. From this perspective, Hua iniao hadn’t done anything wrong.
Of course, the most important reason was that music evangelism was a direction Li Yu always wanted to promote, as music inherently holds power and is incredibly easy to spread, even faster than people can travel.
In short, music was a very cost-effective investnt for evangelism, especially since Li Yu had access to a constantly updated vast music library, which contained many catchy songs that could be adapted.
The nine points he gave were more encouraging in nature. As a result, Hua iniao’s final professional score was fixed at 32 points, just one point less than the first perforr, Yadun.
In the public voting segnt, Hua iniao’s score was only two points lower than Yadun’s, earning a high score of 55 points.
Hua iniao was quite satisfied with this score and played a brief segnt of "Havana" on his Layakin as a thank-you.
Next up was another young Sabbath.
Li Yu could tell that he must have been inspired by stand-up cody, attempting to combine it with missionary work. This broad direction was fine, but the issue was that he focused on puns.
This approach was clearly off the mark. Despite painstakingly crafting many jokes, such as the one where he encountered a Silver Moon Church priest while out preaching. The priest had lost his book and asked him, "Where did I lose (’lose’) my book?"
The young Sabbath even paused for several seconds, but only a sparse few laughs arose.
And Miss Rabbit didn’t hesitate to raise her wooden card. Zero points!
The other three judges gave generally low scores too, and as for the audience, their reaction was minimal. If it weren’t for the ambient sound already being at thirty decibels and everyone politely clapping a couple of tis, his public score probably would’ve been zero as well.
Just when everyone thought stand-up cody was a dead end, another person took to the stage.
And this person was well known to everyone, the erging big talker of Green Field, Anton.
