Chapter 72 I am the Chosen One and the Only One

Lin Lang replied: "Mengyao, you are right. We should not underestimate Li Yundi."

"As far as I know, Li Yundi won the third place in the 5th Liszt International Piano Competition in Windmill Country last year. In the same year, she won the third place in the 2nd Huaxia International Piano Competition."

"This year, Li Yundi is ready to win the Masters Cup and become famous. Unfortunately, his opponent is me, Lin Lang. Huh~"

"If we have Yu, why do we have Liang?!"

"I, Lin Lang, am Zhuge Liang, restraining Li Yundi, that old Zhou Yu, and suppressing him, making him uncomfortable." Lin Lang had a sly smile on his face.

Zhou Mengyao laughed and said, "If you are Zhuge Liang, then who am I?"

Lin Lang jokingly replied: "If I were Zhuge Liang, you would of course be Huang Yueying!"

(Huang Yueying was Zhuge Liang's wife.)

"I don't want to be Huang Achou. I am so beautiful. If I was born in the Three Kingdoms period, there would be no Diao Chan!" Zhou Mengyao smiled playfully with her tongue sticking out.

"If I were to travel through time and space and become Zhuge Liang, I would take his place, kill the useless Adou, and ascend the throne directly, and take you, a beauty who is prettier than Diao Chan, as my wife."

Zhou Mengyao also half-jokingly said: "Even if you didn't travel through time and space and become Zhuge Liang, you can still snatch me as your wife now!"

"Uh... Can I really steal you to be my wife?" Lin Lang scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

Zhou Mengyao replied playfully: "How do you know if you don't try it?!"

Lin Lang and Zhou Mengyao continued to test each other on the edge of ambiguity. Li Yundi, who was performing on the stage, had finished a song and won warm applause from the audience with a piano piece "Willow".

No surprises.

Li Yundi successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

The lowest score given by the five judges in the audience was 8.5 points, and she advanced to the semi-finals without any suspense.

Even three out of the five professional judges were full of praise for Li Yundi's piano playing, calling her a talented pianist and the favorite to win.

Li Yundi was so happy after hearing this that her nose was bubbling. After bowing to express her gratitude, she walked off the stage with an unconcealed happiness.

Zhou Mengyao reminded him, "Lin Lang, you're the next one to perform on stage. Are you nervous?"

Lin Lang joked: "I'm not nervous."

"Hehe..." Zhou Mengyao smiled.

Then, the female host announced: "Next, contestant B007 Lin Lang will come on stage to perform, and contestant B008 Wu Chun will get ready."

"Contestant B007 Lin Lang, the original piano piece "Timetopretend", please start your performance."

Lin Lang, dressed in a double-breasted suit, proudly stepped onto the stage, slowly walked to the piano, and sat upright on the piano stool. His powerful aura was like that of a new king ascending the throne.

The five judges at the scene exchanged glances after hearing this and whispered, "Isn't this the only contestant who performed an original piano piece in this Master Cup competition?"

"Yes!"

"It seems that this contestant named Lin Lang is very confident in his original piano piece!"

"Then let's wait and see whether contestant B007 can amaze everyone by playing his original piano piece?!"

"it is good……"

Zhou Mengyao stood in the audience, looking at Lin Lang on the stage from afar, and gave him a thumbs up to cheer him on.

The on-site cameraman moved the camera forward and gave Lin Lang a handsome close-up, which was so handsome that it was absurd, even to the point of being unfair.

The program team will shoot videos of every audition contestant, and Lin Lang is no exception.

Mixed-race beauty director Marry Yang looked at the handsome Lin Lang on the camera monitor, who was sitting on the piano stool like a piano prince. His fingers began to jump on the keys, and a passionate melody flowed out.

As the deep and passionate prelude came on, the eyes of the five judges in the audience all lit up.

After hearing the five seconds mark, all the judges sighed inwardly, “Fuck!”

As the piano piece progressed, Lin Lang's fingers danced on the keys faster and faster, and the music became louder and louder, like surging waves.

After hearing the ten seconds mark, all the judges were shocked in their hearts, “Awesome!”

Under Lin Lang's playing, every note was full of power, composing and playing out an extremely burning sense of oppression.

Lin Lang's damn elegance shines brightly on the stage, like a brilliant light appearing in the monotonous night.

The super long piano music is like accumulating energy to release a big move, making people unable to stop listening to it.

The five judges in the audience were all deeply shocked by Lin Lang's talent in composing music and his superb piano playing skills.

Invincible.

It's fucking invincible.

It felt like Lin Lang had grasped the weak spots of the five judges with this piano piece, and had them all under his control.

It was obvious that the judges had never heard such a unique and passionate melody, and Lin Lang's piano playing skills were even more amazing.

This damn sense of range is awesome!

This piece of music is like the light of sunrise, breaking free from the shackles of darkness and emitting an incomparably dazzling dawn in front of the five judges on the scene.

This damn feeling of oppression is so fucking awesome!

This piece of music was like the glow of sunset, emitting the final afterglow, dragging the five on-site judges into endless darkness.

Isn't this a fire?

Isn’t this starting to become noble?

Every movement of Lin Lang playing the piano seems so smooth and natural, and every touch of his fingertips can trigger a burst of pleasant notes.

The five judges in the audience were controlled by Lin Lang throughout the entire song, and their minds were filled with passionate and exciting images.

This damn sense of fatalism.

As I listened, my adrenaline started to surge.

If you continue listening, I just want to take back everything I have lost. Don't let anyone stop me. Just do it!

Who understands this kind of never-ending artistic conception? !

That’s right, “Time To Retend” is a dark and depressing BGM. It sounds like a comeback, or like God is kissing me with pain, and I stab him in the heart with a knife.

The sense of immersion in this song is simply too damn strong.

The sense of immersion is so strong that it sounds like raising the Natsume flag on Mt. Toshiyama in the country of cherry blossoms. So cool!

The sense of immersion was ridiculously strong, as if fighting one's way out of a siege in the darkness, with a long sword in hand, fighting bloody battles against a hundred thousand enemies, and finally seeing one's dawn. All five judges on the scene got goose bumps after listening to it.

There is no other way to describe Lin Lang's almost explosive piano performance except the word "awesome".

The beam of light falling on the piano keys is the road to redemption. This is Lin Lang's Battle of the Gods. Although it was only the stage for the preliminary round of the auditions, the piano piece Lin Lang performed was already a king bomb, which stunned the audience and judges.

What is shock?

This is fucking shocking!

Is Lin Lang playing the piano?

No.

He is pretending!

I'm invincible, you can do whatever you want.

Yes.

Elegance never goes out of style.

Lin Lang was awesome at this moment, his slender fingers flying across the black and white keys, playing the piano with passion and devotion. The scene seemed to be bringing light to defeat evil on a land shrouded in darkness.

The five judges on the scene could hardly sit still in their chairs after listening to this song. It seemed that the mineral water on the judges' table had suddenly turned into 43-degree brandy under the magic of this song.

When the last note fell, the whole hall fell into a brief silence.

I don’t know which audience member exclaimed “WTF!” in shock, and then thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the audience.

Lang Lang stood in the audience and couldn't help but shout "Awesome!"

Li Yundi was sweating profusely. While wiping the sweat off his forehead, he thought to himself, "This contestant B007, Lin Lang, is so fucking awesome! I'm so freaking freaking kneeling!"

Marry Yang watched the camera monitor as Lin Lang played the last note, then stood up gracefully and gave a gentleman's salute to the audience. He was so handsome that he exploded on the spot.

"How can there be such a talented and breathtakingly handsome man in this world?" Marry Yang's heart was pounding and she was completely obsessed with him.

Zhou Mengyao, who was standing in the audience, was stunned with shock.

"Uh……"

"Does Lin Lang want to win the Chinese Pianist Master Cup directly during the preliminary round of the audition?"

"Lin Lang really rocked the place today!"

“Shouldn’t Lin Lang use this passionate and perfect performance of a piano piece to win the championship in the final?” Zhou Mengyao was almost on fire.

Lin Lang finished his song.

The five professional judges in the audience stood up at the same time, paying their highest respects to Lin Lang. They applauded and said, "This contestant, Lin Lang, is truly a gifted pianist!"

"Yes!"

"Lin Lang's piano playing level is beyond the reach of ordinary people no matter how hard they try."

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that Lin Lang has achieved the unity of man and piano!”

"Contestant B007 Lin Lang is comparable to Chopin of Xia Country. His original piano piece "Time to Ptend" is simply brilliant and truly invincible."

"That's right!"

"Lin Lang is playing the piano so hard that it's almost smoking. This piece of music is so beautiful!"

"Lin Lang, your talent and skills are truly amazing!"

"This original piano piece you composed not only has a beautiful melody, but is also full of passion and power. It is the best modern piano piece I have heard in the past twenty years."

"Lin Lang, you are a musical genius that only appears once in a century. Your future will surely be bright!"

"with no doubt!"

"Lin Lang, you are the ceiling among the pianists in Xia Country today!"

"At the same time, Lin Lang, you are also the best piano composer in Xia Country today. You are a great talent!"

Lin Lang, who was standing on the stage, responded after hearing this: "Thank you for the compliments from the judges!"

"But the five respected judges, please restrain yourself and stop praising me. I'm afraid that if you continue to praise me, you will directly present the Master Cup championship trophy to me on the stage of the preliminary audition."

"Ha ha……"

All five judges on the scene smiled, their eyes full of admiration for Lin Lang.

Then, five judges began to score, four of them gave full marks of 10, and one judge gave 9 points.

"Genius contestant Lin Lang, I give you 9 points. I didn't give you the remaining 1 point because I was afraid you would become too proud!"

"Congratulations on your successful promotion!"

"Lin Lang, your performance today was very impressive. I am looking forward to your performance in the semi-final tomorrow."

All five judges praised Lin Lang highly. The contestants who were still waiting in line to perform on stage all felt tremendous pressure because of Lin Lang's perfect performance in the preliminary auditions.
