Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Wu moved her arms and walked out.

She turned around and saw that Xia Jinmeng was still dawdling. So, she raised her chin at her and said, “Hurry up.”

Xia Jinmeng forced a smile and replied, “Okay.”

Many of the members knew Xia Jinmeng, so they were very supportive of her.

Wen Tongtong’s voice was the loudest.

“Jinmeng, you can do it!”

When Lin Shanchu saw this, she put her hands together to form a megaphone around her lips and shouted, “Yun Wu, good luck!”

If other girls received cheers, Yun Wu would most definitely receive one too.

Yun Wu turned to Lin Shanchu and winked.

The comments went crazy.

[I enjoyed it!]

[Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu have formed a two-way love line!] [Holy sh*t! Boss Yun actually winked! There goes her cool-girl image! Haha!] [What cool girl? She’s just a sweet girl in front of Lin Shanchu!] [But Lin Shanchu’s cheering is too loud. Even Mr. Huo is looking at her.]

[Yeah! Mr. Huo is looking at her.]

Huo Xunzhou only glanced at Lin Shanchu once before looking away.

He felt that Lin Shanchu was a little different.

It seemed like…

She was more lively than before.

Xia Jinmeng walked over to Yun Wu and stood beside her.

“You can start now,” said Yun Wu.

“Begin,” Huo Xunzhou announced.

As the music started playing, Yun Wu’s entire aura changed.

Her eyes were confident and her expression was calm. Dancing was like a game to her.

She sang the lyrics without making a single mistake, and her voice was in tune.

She sang and danced perfectly.

On the other hand, Xia Jinmeng, who was standing beside her, was a little inferior.

She was already under a lot of mental pressure when facing Yun Wu.

She was so nervous that she sang the wrong lyrics.

In the end, she simply stopped singing.

Having spotted this, Xia Jinmeng’s fans rushed to save her dignity in the comment section.

[Mengmeng is already doing very well. After all, she has only been practicing for a day.]

[You call her amazing? Keep tooting your own horn with your eyes closed!]

[Well, this is the difference between King of Glory and Tough Bronze in Honor of Kings.]

[I think Xia Jinmeng won’t be able to keep her spot as an A-ranker.]

The other members didn’t expect Xia Jinmeng to fail to even remember the lyrics.

The situation was a little awkward.

When their performance ended, no one spoke and only applauded.

Qin Shuya liked Yun Wu a lot during the initial stage assessment.

Yun Wu’s performance this time did not disappoint her.

With a smile on her face, she looked at Yun Wu with satisfaction. After picking up the microphone, she asked Bai Yu,

“Mr. Bai, what do you think of Yun Wu’s performance?”

Bai Yu’s skin was a shade of pallid white that had not been exposed to the light for many years. Dressed in plain black, he looked sickly and depressed.

This ghostly composer was famous for his eccentric temper and sharp tongue. During the initial assessment. there was a chance that Bai Yu acted more reserved due to it being the first meeting with the members.

This time, it might not be the case.

Bai Yu picked up the microphone. His clear and pleasant voice rang out.

“Not bad.”

“Thank you, Mr. Bai.” Yun Wu bowed calmly.

The members around her were all praising her. “Yun Wu is so awesome.”

Lin Shanchu sat in the corner, her eyes sweeping back and forth between Bai Yu, Yun Wu, and Huo Xunzhou.

Yun Wu, who was supposed to be Huo Xunzhou’s rumored girlfriend, seemed to be related to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu pulled out Xia Jinmeng’s information. Xia Jinmeng, ” he said. “Why did you stop singing at the end of the performance?”

“I forgot my lines.” Xia Jinmeng pursed her lips in embarrassment.

“Since you’ve signed up for the one-day class, why didn’t you memorize the lyrics?” Bai Yu’s expression was stern.

Xia Jinmeng held the microphone and looked like she was about to cry.

Bai Yu’s attitude did not soften even though he spotted Xia Jinmeng’s predicament.

The question he asked was blunter than before. “Do you think your performance today is worthy of your status as an A-ranker?” Xia Jinmeng bit her lip as tears rolled down her face.

Her tear-stained appearance was very pitiful.

She sobbed and tried to absolve herself by acting pitifully. “I practiced too late last night, so I caught a cold and had a fever. That’s why I forgot my lines…”

Xu An noticed that Bai Yu was frowning impatiently, and he knew that the latter would say something even more unpleasant once he opened his mouth again.

Hence, he snatched Bai Yu’s microphone and said, “If you’re sick, go to the doctor and get some medicine. I look forward to your better performance during the first public showdown.”

The comments flew across the screen.

[Who is this Bai Yu? He’s so annoying!]

[As a senior, can’t he talk nicely to his junior?]

[Dear Mengmeng, don’t cry. You’re down with a cold and fever, but you still insisted on practicing. My heart hurts for you!]

[That’s right. Can’t he be gentler to girls?]

[Bai Yu is here to be a mentor. Out of 99 people, only five of them get to make their debut as girl group members. Of course, he has to be strict!]

[Xia Jinmeng is so pretentious. She can’t even accept such a small criticism.

Why did she even participate in the talent show?]

After a brief discussion, the instructors re-rated Yun Wu and Xia Jinmeng.

Huo Xunzhou announced the final result.

“Yun Wu’s rank remains unchanged. Xia Jinmeng will be demoted from A to B.” Yun Wu skipped back to Lin Shanchu’s side. “I danced well, didn’t I?”

Lin Shanchu gave her a thumbs up.

Xia Jinmeng’s eyes were filled with anger and hatred when she saw the scene.

Yun Wu was too powerful, so she could only admit defeat.

However, what was there to be proud of for a useless person like Lin Shanchu?

She even stole her limelight.

The more Xia Jinmeng thought about it, the more she couldn’t take this lying down.

She returned to her seat. Wen Tongtong comforted her immediately.

“Mengmeng, you did a great job!”

Xia Jinmeng chuckled softly in return.

When the next group of members came on stage, Xia Jinmeng turned her head and whispered something to Wen Tongtong.

“I understand,” Wen Tongtong said with a smile.

The theme song assessment continued.

Although the other members from the one-day class weren’t as outstanding as Yun Wu, they had also improved a lot compared to the initial stage assessment.

Many of the members’ ratings had risen.

However, none of them got an A.

Soon, all the members of the one-day class had finished their assessment.

The camera cut to Huo Xunzhou.

His slender and beautiful fingers gently clasped the script, and his magnetic voice announced the new rules set by the production crew.

“There’s still one spot left for Class A. Does anyone want to challenge it?”

“Are members not from the one-day class allowed to take on the challenge?” a member asked.

“Sure, but if you fail the challenge, you’ll be directly admitted to Class F,” Huo Xunzhou replied.

Class F meant that they could only stand at the back of the line during the recording of the theme song.

The further back they were, the fewer shots they had.

Everyone fell silent.

Then, there was a soft discussion.

“Go and challenge him, ” Yun Wu said with a nudge.

“No,” Lin Shanchu refused firmly.

It felt good having to slack off as a member of the three-day class.

At this moment.

Wen Tongtong’s voice came from behind.

“Lin Shanchu said that she wants to challenge for a spot in Class A.”

Lin Shanchu was confused.

She turned to look at Wen Tongtong.

Wen Tongtong’s eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction as she continued, “Lin

Shanchu, you’re so brave. To think that you want to challenge for the spot in Class A.”

The camera immediately cut to her.

Wen Tongtong asked, “Why aren’t you going up?” Are you afraid of failing the challenge and entering Class F?”

Lin Shanchu’s back was facing the camera. Her eyes, which had always been warm and harmless, became as cold as a blade that sliced Wen Tongtong’s flesh off bit by bit.

Wen Tongtong was so frightened that she shivered and stammered out,

“You….’
