Chapter 146: This God-Level Stage? Hurry Up and Start the Main Show!
Whether seasoned veterans within the industry or previous contestants, and including every spectator in the audience, at this moment they all expressed their feelings with the most enthusiastic applause.
Countless voices echoed in agreement!
This was undoubtedly the most dazzling live stage performance of the day.
In this instant, they were all deeply shaken.
They had initially thought that Bai Ling’s chosen theme was risky.
Perhaps it would become a rather mediocre song.
But who could have imagined the outcome they now witnessed?
They had all underestimated Bai Ling and this song.
On stage, Dingdang Cat finished bowing.
“Teachers, can you guess who I am?”
That single sentence caused the atmosphere to cool somewhat.
Wu Yongfeng laughed heartily. “Everyone’s so happy, why bring that up now?”
“Yeah, yeah, let’s keep talking about the song. The fusion of opera singing and pop music was done quite well.”
“That’s exactly what I think. Honestly, I didn’t expect tradition and modern styles to be combined in such a way.”
“It truly surprised me.”
Teacher Han Guangming chuckled, “Those old folks always complain that young people don’t like traditional things anymore. Now I see, they were all talking nonsense. Hahaha!”
Everyone looked at Teacher Han with some helplessness.
He’s got the seniority to joke like that.
They certainly didn’t.
Seeing the others shift the topic and even avoid looking at him, Bai Ling felt somewhat speechless. “Teachers, shall we get back to the main point?”
Director Wu Youliang was already laughing openly.
These old guys, these top singers—they were clearly avoiding reality.
“Judges, stop pretending and just guess,” Wu Youliang said through their earpieces.
But how could they guess?
Old Wu, who was related to Wu Youliang, sighed helplessly. “Isn’t this asking too much?”
“How could we possibly know who this is?”
“In this performance, Dingdang Cat showed many interesting aspects, especially his outstanding vocal skills. We originally thought he was a newcomer, but now it seems we have to rule that out.”

“But among the people we know, there really isn’t anyone like this.”
Leng Yan agreed, “I think so too. Where on earth did this guy come from?”
“Maybe give us a hint?”
“Also, I remember Bai Ling hasn’t appeared on many shows, so she doesn’t know many people. How did you get in touch with her and obtain this song?”
Teacher Li Yuanhong added, “Actually, the composition part of this song is stronger than the performance. Dingdang Cat, I hope you don’t mind me saying this—I really like your performance. Unlike others, I’m willing to believe you’re a newcomer.”
“However, if that’s the case, perhaps you’re a remarkably gifted singer. Could you be a newly signed artist of Spring and Autumn Records?”
Others chimed in, “That’s possible. But if you just signed recently, there’s no way the director would say we all know and recognize you.”
“Honestly, I just don’t get it...”
Everyone racked their brains.
Guessing who Dingdang Cat was?
Not a chance!
After ten minutes of sharing all their thoughts and opinions, they finally gave up in frustration.
“I seriously suspect the director is just toying with us.”
“No idea where this prodigy came from.”
“But none of that matters now. The next episode is the grand finale. No matter what, you have to take off the mask!”
Everyone’s eyes brightened. “Exactly!”
“I’ll hold on for one more week!”
“The next episode will reveal everything. I’m actually kind of excited.”
Director Wu Youliang stopped making things difficult for them.
They had at least given face by guessing for ten minutes.
Thus, this episode ended smoothly.
After the show and meeting with the singers, Wu Youliang rushed straight to the editing room.
No need to say more—once again, Bai Ling brought him immense surprise.
This song, “Wukong,” was destined to become a massive hit, rivaling “Moonlight,” “A Diao,” and “Invisible Wings.”
In fact, it might even surpass “Moonlight” and “A Diao” in popularity.
Having completed this episode, Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, everything went according to plan.
Luckily, before going on stage, she had used a VIP opportunity to enhance her emotional expression.
Indeed, in her view, the fusion of opera and pop music paled in comparison to emotional expression.
The most crucial aspect of “Wukong” was to embody that rebellious spirit—unyielding and defiant despite the hardships and setbacks endured.

Fortunately, Bai Ling had been a man in her previous life, allowing her to better grasp this emotion.
Otherwise, even a single VIP service experience might not have delivered such an effect.
What followed went without saying.
The production team of “Guess Who I Am” quickly released various promotional materials.
Dingdang Cat’s performances in the first two episodes had already captured the attention of the vast majority of netizens.
The heat was undeniable.
The episodes garnered impressive viewership upon release.
The staff had already told Bai Ling this.
This episode was no different!
Moreover, it wasn’t just the production team speaking out.
Even teachers like Leng Yan, Li Mingyuan, and Han Guangming began posting updates after returning home.
The information they revealed, combined with the production team’s materials, created a viral sensation.
The original audience expanded significantly.
“Dingdang Cat’s identity remains unrevealed, and he’s about to enter the finals.”
“Well, since his debut, for three consecutive episodes his true identity hasn’t been uncovered. This guy’s got skills.”
“Teacher Han Guangming praised Dingdang Cat’s stage in his post. Sounds like he’s really impressive.”
“Old Wu said this was a god-tier stage and that we should all look forward to it. If we’re not satisfied, he’ll quit the music scene!”
“Ah, Old Wu’s quitting again? Dog~”
“If it were just Old Wu saying that, I wouldn’t really believe it. But Leng Yan also said this stage was breathtaking.”
“Wait, I remember last episode mentioning that Dingdang Cat was performing a new song written by Bai Ling, right?”
“Yeah, I remember that too. This must be serious.”
“Could it be that Bai Ling’s new song brought a bit of a shock?”
“That’s definitely possible!”
“Well then, that’s quite something.”
“Enough talking. Just release the full episode already!”
“Exactly, hurry up and release the full episode!”
