I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.

However, the host still followed the procedure and looked at Xiao Chen, who was the last to turn around.

"Xiao, is there anything you'd like to say to G.E.M.?"

Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair, looking languid.

He didn't make any grand promises like other mentors.

He simply looked at the girl on the stage, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He didn't even pick up the microphone; he simply asked softly in his natural voice.

"Did you come for me?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly transmitted throughout the venue through the microphone on his chest.

This question is simple, direct, and even somewhat domineering.

It was as if he didn't care at all what the two mentors had said, as if he already knew the answer.

Two red clouds instantly rose to Deng Ziqi's cheeks, and she nodded vigorously.

Holding the microphone, his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"yes!"

"I came here specifically for Teacher Xiao!"

The answer was decisive and without any hesitation.

Adam and Katie exaggeratedly clutched their chests, making heartbroken expressions.

"Okay, we lost again."

"I lost to that damn handsome face."

The audience burst into laughter again.

The host walked forward with a smile.

"So, G.E.M., what is your choice...?"

Deng Ziqi called out that name without hesitation.

"I choose Teacher Xiao Chen!"

Xiao Chen stood up, opened his arms to Deng Ziqi on the stage, and smiled gently and charmingly.

"Welcome to my team."

He didn't say anything more, but his deep eyes were filled with "I understand you".

Then, he picked up the microphone and addressed the entire audience, including G.E.M., to make his promise.

You don't need to be the next someone.

"You will make the whole world hear your voice."

This sentence touches people's hearts more than any flowery words.

Deng Ziqi's eyes instantly reddened. She bowed deeply to Xiao Chen, then quickly walked off the stage, like a little bird that had found its way home.

Recording continues.

Perhaps because of G.E.M.'s outstanding performance, the subsequent contestants, although they were also quite talented, seemed somewhat lackluster.

Adam, Katie, and Blake filled their team slots one after another, each with a joyful expression on their faces.

Xiao Chen's team, from beginning to end, only had Deng Ziqi.

He sat there quietly and never pressed the button for anyone again.

As the recording was about to end, during the break, Katie brought a cup of coffee and walked over to Xiao Chen.

He said it half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Xiao, you're not only recruiting this one member today, are you?"

"Aren't your dragon kingdom's restrictions a bit too harsh?"

"Look at that kid singing rock music just now, wasn't he great? If you were a little more lenient with the requirements..."

Xiao Chen picked up the water glass on the table, took a small sip, and then put it down.

He looked up at Katie, his gaze calm yet carrying an undeniable power.

"I've said it before, I'm only staying for the people of China."

His tone was calm, yet it sounded like he was stating a truth.

Adam also came over and spread his hands.

"Dude, I understand your patriotism."

"But this is a competition, and you only have one player, which will put you at a significant disadvantage in the team battles later on."

Blake nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Xiao, you're playing with fire."

"A one-man team, this is unprecedented in the history of The Voice of China."

"You might lose all your teammates in just your first team battle."

Xiao Chen smiled upon hearing this.

That smile carried a hint of arrogance, as if looking down upon the world.

"If my team only has Deng Ziqi this year."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the three astonished instructors, and spoke clearly, word by word.

"Then I will do everything in my power to help her win the championship."

!!!

The air in the entire mentors' lounge seemed to freeze.

Katie even forgot to put down her coffee cup.

Adam's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

Blake looked at Xiao Chen as if he were a monster.

madman!

This guy is absolutely insane!

A one-man team?

Want to win the championship again?

This isn't confidence, this is arrogance!

This is a disregard for the competition rules and a provocation against all their mentors and contestants!

However, these words would be a joke if spoken by someone else, but when spoken by Xiao Chen, they carried a chilling magic.

Because he is Xiao Chen.

The man who created countless miracles.

Oscar winner, Grammy winner, global icon...

Any one of his labels is enough to give him the confidence to say this.

The show's director, who was behind the monitor, overheard this conversation and was so excited he almost jumped out of his chair!

"Take pictures! Take pictures of everything!"

"Close-up! Give Xiao Chen a close-up!"

"OMG! This is so exciting!"

"A one-man team!"

"A Madman's Declaration!"

"This year's ratings are going to explode!"

The director waved his arms excitedly.

He could almost see the audience across America, and even the world, after the show aired.

The scene was filled with heated discussions about Xiao Chen's crazy move.

The buzz is there!

Dramatic conflict, here it is!

This show is going to be an absolute sensation!

Instead of stopping Xiao Chen, they wished they could add fuel to the fire.

After a short break, the recording moved on to the last group.

The host stood on the stage and announced in a passionate voice.

"Let's welcome the last group of contestants to the stage today!"

The stage lights dimmed, and the spotlights came on.

Two people, a man and a woman, walked up onto the lifting platform.

The woman was wearing a brightly colored ethnic costume, and the man was wearing sunglasses, looking cool.

Seeing the audience's reaction, Katie and Adam both showed interest.

Just then, a highly rhythmic and penetrating musical prelude resounded throughout the venue.

That melody...

It is full of rich oriental color, unrestrained and vast, like galloping on a vast grassland.

Xiao Chen, who had been lounging lazily against the back of his chair, sat up straight again.

This melody is so familiar.

He was so familiar with him that it was etched into his DNA.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's high-pitched and melodious singing voice rang out.

"I am gazing afar, above the moon!"

"How many dreams are taking flight freely!"

boom!

Something seemed to explode in Xiao Chen's mind.

The lyrics, the singing style...

No way?!

Before he could recover from the shock, the man's unique, rap-style monologue followed.

"Yo yo! Come on!"

"Yesterday's forgotten sorrows have dried in the wind; I long to meet you again on that desolate road!"

It's them!

Phoenix Legend!

That was the nation's number one band in their past life, who occupied every square, supermarket, and barbershop in the country with the most agricultural heavy metal style of music!

For the first time, Xiao Chen's face showed a look of being both amused and exasperated.

He never imagined that he would hear this hit song here, on this American talent show stage.

Even more unexpectedly, Linghua and Zeng Yi also came to participate in the competition!

This world is getting more and more interesting.
