Chapter 427: Chapter 405 Second Consecutive Championship_1

What dragon versus tiger?

What fairy fighting a deity?

The fierce battle that the industry had expected, the scenario where the music industry’s top bigwigs were locked in a tough fight, didn’t happen in the December season rankings.

This was only the first day of the Battle of the Gods…

All suspense was prematurely ended by Xian Yu’s lyrics!

After the industry regained its senses, there were surprised exclamations one after another, with many people having a surreal feeling:

“What the heck is this?”

“Did I time travel or did I open this wrong, how is this outcome different from ‘Ten Years’ dominating in September?”

“If you look at the result and not the intent, indeed there is no difference, both are Xian Yu wreaking havoc.”

“Now that you mention it, I really feel like I’m dreaming of September.”

“But the problem is, those who competed with Xian Yu in September were all underdogs, but those who competed with Xian Yu in December are all singing kings and queens and their corresponding music maestros!”

“All the big shots brought out their aces in December, only Xian Yu flipped the table!”

“This is totally against the rules!”

“Can you even play like this? In a competition for composing, someone eventually won the Battle of the Gods with lyrics?”

“If you say you don’t accept it, it’s normal for him to win given how he wrote the lyrics; if you say you accept it, the music and performance, although excellent, are not enough to create havoc, isn’t this a hard pill for other big shots to swallow?”

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Although Xian Yu won the Battle of the Gods a bit sneakily, the big shots didn’t lose in vain, the lyrics of ‘May We Live Long’ are simply a timeless masterpiece. The official review called it the pinnacle of moon-themed poetry. You must know that there are countless pieces of ancient moon-themed poetry after hundreds of years of literary development, and none has been universally acknowledged as the pinnacle of moon-themed poetry.”

“…”

The industry’s sighs also directly voiced the frustration of the kings, queens and maestros during that time.

A comparison of performance?

Everyone definitely admits that Jiang Kui sang very well, better than anyone could imagine!

So good that no one would doubt that Jiang Kui would officially step into the top ranks with this song!

But…

Even if Jiang Kui sang very well, he’s just on par with the kings and queens of singing!

A comparison of composition?

Everyone also acknowledges that Xian Yu’s composition is as good as always, in line with his usual output level.

But, the works presented by the maestros this time are also exceptionally well-composed!

We won’t say they’re much better than Xian Yu’s.

But they’re definitely not worse than Xian Yu’s!

Even, Xian Yu’s composition is a bit inferior.

Because Xian Yu adopts a lyrical style in his composition, but for a song to top the chart, it needs to have a stronger melody and rhythm, like Xian Yu’s ‘Red Sun’ which topped the chart last year, is a good example.

In other words…

If everyone only competed in performance and composition, ‘May We Live Long’ could not possibly have won the championship without any suspense, Xian Yu might not even be able to secure his position as the champion.

Everyone admits this.

But the problem lies with the lyrics.

The lyrics written by Xian Yu this time are too extraordinary, to the point that they’re impressive, and even more so, the audience downloaded the entire song just because of the lyrics of ‘May We Live Long’!

It’s a strong bundle!

Those who like this song, even if they’re not that interested in the music, would also extend their love from lyrics to the composition!

In response to this, a certain queen could only laugh bitterly and say:

“Xian Yu has provided a new strategy for the competition for the season rankings, but this new strategy is not replicable unless there’s another lyricist who can write a song with lyrics of a timeless classic like ‘Song of Water’.”

Yes.

Everyone is not convinced by the composition and performance, but they can also understand the audience’s choice. ‘Song of Water’ is simply a work of art, everyone is willing to pay for the artistry of the whole song!

How can anyone complain?

Does Xian Yu cheat?

Xian Yu didn’t cheat, lyrics are part of a song, and good lyrics naturally enhance the song.

Let’s not go far, just take a song from Celestial Dynasty from a few years ago as an example.

Why did Mao Mao’s ‘Dissipating the Sorrow’ go viral the moment it was released?

Isn’t it because of the pleasant melody and superb lyrics?

If you’re not convinced, why not write a ‘Song of Water’ level piece of lyrics?

Can’t write it?

Isn’t that it.

This is Xian Yu’s unique advantage.

The music scene can’t just obliterate Xian Yu’s enormous advantage because others don’t have it.

Are black people born to be good at running, so we should ban black people from competing in races?

Celestial Dynasty is unbeatable in table tennis, so should the Olympics remove this event?

That doesn’t make sense.

Because if you maximize your talent and effort, you can do it too.

That’s why Liu Xiang once dominated a certain event, even suppressing countless black athletes.

A certain king’s summary of the Battle of the Gods was fairly objective: “All I can say is that in order to retain the title of this year’s champion song in the Battle of the Gods, Xian Yu brought out his secret weapon that he had never used before and successfully achieved a one-hit kill.”

Not just a one-hit kill, it’s a fatal blow.

And when countless netizens witnessed these reactions from all sectors one after another, and saw the official review of ‘Song of the Water’, their shocked hearts added a bit more worship for Xian Yu:

“Two consecutive Battle of the Gods championships!”

“Xian Yu really defended his title, wasn’t someone analyzing Xian Yu’s chance of winning based on past Battle of the Gods data before, who could have thought that Xian Yu could seize such a low chance of defending the title.”

“With two consecutive championships, is a triple crown far away?”

“I was going to say you’re dreaming, but based on Xian Yu’s usual saying half of what he thinks, let’s just withhold this possibility for now, even though the chance of this happening is countless times lower than two championships.”

“I’m just a mindless fan, I just have to say, the day when the Yu Dynasty rules the music scene will come!”

“Stop talking about this for now, haven’t you guys noticed yet?”

“Noticed what?”

“I’ve already felt it, the will of the number two from the universe.”

“Wait a minute!”

“Don’t tell me?”

“King Fei…”

“Did he…”

“…come”

“Second????”

At this moment, almost everyone spontaneously opened the December season rankings, looking for the first figure under Xian Yu.

Then, all the netizens got shocked!

The song currently ranked second in the Battle of the Gods is a new song called ‘Leap’, and if one opens the details of this song, they will find…

Lyrics: Ni Hongwu

Composition: Yin Dong

Singer: Fei Yang

The eternal King Fei!

The will of the number two has quietly arrived!
