All-rounder Artist

Everyone had a shot at the title.

The championship was filled with suspense!

That’s why many insiders weren’t too excited about the September season’s chart.

But for those musicians dropping new songs in September, it’s still an honor to be the number one for the season, no matter how shabby the competition is.

That spot was too tempting!

However, as they were about to make their move, when they saw the name ‘Xian Yu’, all the musicians set to release songs in September were dumbstruck.

A wake-up call!

They were stunned one after another.

This surprise attack is deadly, potentially fatal!

“It’s over.”

“The fish has arrived!”

“What a bully!”

“I was such a fool, really. I only knew that there were no A-listers in September but did not anticipate the fish calamity…”

“Worthy Maestro Junior, instead of messing with those A-listers, why do you compete with us bottom-tier folks for the first place!”

“With this fish around, even A-listers will have to kneel!”

“Did I step on dog poo when I left the house today? Why did Xian Yu choose to return in September?”

“Guys, the fish calamity is here.”

“It’s over, I’ve got fish-phobia.”

“Fish phobia+1…”

“Fish phobia+2…”

“Fish phobia+10086…”

“I’ve had fish phobia for ages! I’ve run into Xian Yu twice when I released songs! Who’s worse off than me!”

A rather famous second-tier singer, who had a shot at the top spot, lamented.

Soon another singer popped up complaining:

“I’ve encountered him three times, have I uttered a word? My manager said I’ve reached terminal stages of fish phobia!”

Such frustration!

September was supposed to be a peaceful month when scrubs could peck each other, with everyone having a shot at the crown, but then this fish unexpectedly jumped out!

If only we knew about Xian Yu this month, we could have released our songs later, right?

There’s no thought of resistance.

This fish has put Maestro and ‘King of Singing’ through their paces. Isn’t it light work for him to hammer a bunch of weaklings just by pressing his hand down?

Alright then.

These people really have bad luck.

Because the release of the song ‘Ten Years’ was slightly rushed, and the company didn’t even have time to promote it properly, many insiders were not aware of Xian Yu’s plan to release a song in September.

Sun Yaohuo did promote the new song on social media, but he didn’t mention Xian Yu.

No mentioning of Xian Yu, so who cares about Sun Yaohuo?

With Xian Yu’s apprentice’s help, Sun Yaohuo has been either releasing songs or preparing for it all year round.

Although he scored well each month, we’ve never seen him capable of being number one.

But now, Xian Yu is back, so the peaceful September skirmish between chickens has turned into a “fish calamity”.

On the new song chart, there’s a collective outbreak of fish phobia.

At this point, fish phobia is showing tendencies of becoming a prevalent disease in the music industry.

Whenever they encounter a fish calamity, everyone can simply be ready for their downfall.

Because so many A-list singers, even ‘King of Singing’ and Maestro have proved a fact, which is when encountering Xian Yu, don’t struggle.

They’re all doomed.

…

On the new song chart, the stone tossed by Xian Yu caused all the ripples.

As the new song chart turned upside down, insiders gradually accepted the fact of Xian Yu’s king-like return:

It’s September now.

The end of the year is near.

Xian Yu is back.

The good times for some are over.

“In February this year, Xian Yu swept the music scene, then in March, Yang Zhongming had a massacre, after which, subsequent seasons seemed like eggplants hit by frost, with no more works that could bombard the season’s chart. However, as the end of the year approaches, the yearly supernatural showdown in the music scene is about to begin, Xian Yu has already started warming up.”

“He started warming up a bit too early. He striked in September, that’s brutal.”

“Hopefully Xian Yu won’t release songs next month, I am planning to release my song then.”

“Hard to say, ‘Starlight’ looks like it’s on steroids this year, throwing all their weight behind their artists, and Xian Yu, who has exclusive control over the composition department of Nine Buildings, undoubtedly was given a mission. It looks like the upcoming months won’t be peaceful.”

“What’s terrifying is not Xian Yu joining the season’s chart. We can just hide when Xian Yu enters the fray. The scariest thing is that Xian Yu shoots without warning. Who can endure that?”

“Guess it’s due to the urgency of releasing songs that he didn’t have time to promote, so all the people in September ended up as the unlucky ones.”

“…”

The stir caused by Starlight is common knowledge inside the industry.

This year, Starlight have been consistently pushing for their stars relentlessly, the insiders have more or less figured out the true situation based on these news.

This had cast a shadow over many insiders’ hearts.

The so-called fish phobia, it’s not limited to one or two people.

In this music world, there’s no shortage of souls that have been trained by Xianyu Army.

As for the song ‘Ten Years’, insiders could only lament, well-deserving of the man who singlehandedly built the Yu Dynasty.

“The lyrics and composition of this song are superb, and Xian Yu’s skills hasn’t diminished a bit.”

“A very classic bitter-sweet love song, what surprised me most is that the performer of this song, Sun Yaohuo, seems to have had a breakthrough. The singing and song’s artistic conception perfectly match, making Xian Yu’s support for him all this while worthwhile.”

“I feel there is a signal here, Xian Yu’s return as a king may not just be with ‘Ten Years’.”

“If everything goes as expected, Xian Yu will make another move in this year’s showdown among the gods.”

“Nowadays, Xian Yu is becoming more and more like Maestro. Every time he makes a move, it’s a classic starter.”

“More than that, ‘Ten Years’ would be no less outstanding even if it was released in the December God-of-war showdown. I even feel it’s a pity, Xian Yu should have waited until December to release this song, by then Starlight could have arranged a King or Queen of Singing to perform it, and he might have reached the top spot.”

“I disagree with that. Sun Yaohuo’s rendition of ‘Ten Years’ is already perfect. Replacing him with a ‘King of Singing’ may not necessarily improve.”

“…”

The discussion about Xian Yu’s song this time was different from before.

When Xian Yu used to release songs, the focus of the discussion was always on Xian Yu himself. People didn’t talk about the performers much.

But this time, facing the song ‘Ten Years’, many insiders mentioned Sun Yaohuo.

Which meant, many people approved of Sun Yaohuo’s rendition of ‘Ten Years’.

The one thing that proved this best was the sudden surge in Sun Yaohuo’s social media followers by several million.

Also.

Shortly after ‘Ten Years’ hit the top spot, the company received countless high-end event invitations for Sun Yaohuo.

But Sun Yaohuo rejected them all.

Many people speculated about the reason. Only a few people who had access to Sun Yaohuo knew that his eyes were swollen for some reason, and they were considerably puffy, like duck eggs.

It seemed like he got beaten up last night.

This look made it a hassle even to go outside, let alone to be the face of some brand.
