Chapter 169: Kunlun Jade Shatters, the Phoenix’s Cry Echoes Through the Nine Heavens!
Everyone had originally held very high expectations for Doraemon's stage performance this time.
And now, it seemed that Bai Ling's performance had completely surpassed their expectations.
Who could possibly withstand a song like this?
Of course, some might feel that making such a judgment based merely on the first few lines of lyrics was somewhat inappropriate.
Therefore, they focused even more intently on listening to the rest.
"With a flower pinched in my left hand, and a sword danced in my right!"
"Ten thousand years of snow have fallen upon my brows."
The transitions in her voice and the shifts in her breath were all utterly flawless.
Everyone could not help but close their eyes, losing themselves in the intoxication of the music.
"A single tear, ah-ah-ah~"
"That is me, ah-ah-ah~"
They had just closed their eyes, intending to sink deep into the rapture.
Yet the very next second, goosebumps broke out all over everyone.
That shock, originating from the deepest depths of the soul, emerged at this exact moment.
Doraemon's voice was like an awakening from on high; with her ethereal vocal cords, she soared into a terrifyingly magnificent high note.
In this fleeting instant, any listener immersed in the music could feel as though their very soul was being cleansed.
That indescribable tingling sensation made every cell in their bodies spring to activity.
It seemed to wash away their fatigue and purify their spirits.
This might sound like an exaggeration, but for those who truly appreciated music, such a phenomenon genuinely occurred.
Furthermore, Bai Ling's high notes in these two lines came with a special enhancement.
Not long ago, Bai Ling had used a VIP service card to boost her vocal performance effects inside the Dimensional KTV.
Ever since then, whether Bai Ling was singing softly or belting out high notes,
she could weave her own artistic conception into the performance, thereby achieving the ultimate emotional resonance.
Of course, a single VIP service alone could certainly not make Bai Ling completely flawless.
What about... adding a chance to use the Soul High Note?
With this capability, Bai Ling was practically wielding a world-shattering high note.
With the combination of the two, coupled with her own singing technique having progressed to rival that of a tier-one singer,
and finally, her vocal timbre having been adjusted to closely resemble that of Teacher Sa,
was it any wonder that such a perfect replication produced this breathtaking auditory experience?
Everyone at the scene wore looks of complete intoxication, only to be startled by the soaring high notes.
Their wide-eyed expressions, filled with pleasant surprise and intense excitement,
spoke volumes.
Without needing any words, their approval of this song and their recognition of Doraemon's performance were already overflowing.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, the audience holding their phones and tablets simply could not hold back any longer.
The screen that had previously been filled with question marks had long since vanished.
Replaced instead by vast swathes of exclamation marks.
"Outrageous, truly outrageous."
"This song is simply too excessive. No, not the song—the person singing it is outrageous!"
"Given this vocal condition and singing technique, I now strongly suspect she's been swapped out for someone else."
"I have that feeling too. Could there be four different Doraemons?"
"I cannot accept this, I simply cannot accept this!"
"No wonder I felt a bit uncomfortable listening earlier; now that I'm kneeling, it feels so much better."
"This is a true master, an undisputed master."
"Yu Wenyan was already pretty astonishing to me before, but who would have thought the ultimate nuclear bomb was right here?"
"A girl's vocal range is naturally higher, but I truly never expected it could go this high."
"As a girl myself, I have a pretty high range. I could manage something like this, but my voice would crack, the timbre would change, and it would sound terrible. She is just too incredible."
"I'm a music major, and all I can say is that this is inborn talent, something you simply can't envy."
"Like the sound of Kunlun jade shattering and phoenixes singing, I desperately want to know who this divine entity is."
"Putting everything else aside, based purely on this vocal timbre, I will be her fan for life."
"With a skill like this, she can firmly establish herself in the music industry and always hold an unshakeable position."
"Uh, how should I put it? Even before her female voice was exposed, Doraemon's singing was already capable of achieving this."
"That's true!"
"Do you guys think there's any chance she is actually Bai Ling herself?"
"Bai Ling herself? Hahaha, stop joking around. Wait, are you serious?"
"Oh no, why is it suddenly starting to feel a bit like her?"
Everyone had still been immersed in discussing the voice.
When suddenly, someone floated the hypothesis that this voice might actually belong to Bai Ling.
As a result, the barrage of comments became unstoppable.
More and more people began to feel that this voice was growing increasingly similar to Bai Ling's.
It carried more than a hint of Bai Ling's distinct flavor.
However, this was not the main point of discussion.
Doraemon hadn't finished singing yet; once she finished, wasn't it time for the masks to come off?
What was there to rush about?
"With a flick of my left finger, my right hand plucks the strings."
"A boat ferries back and forth across the waters of the River of Forgetfulness."
"When sorrows manage to bloom into a lotus,"
"Do not stop, give me all your wandering thoughts!"
"My left finger points at the moon, my right hand retrieves the red thread."
"Bestowing upon you and me a predestined romance fulfilled."
"In the moonlight, ah-ah-ah~"
"You and me, ah-ah-ah~"
Different sentence structures, different emotions, yet the exact same high notes.
Even though everyone had already heard it once, when the rhythm arrived for the second time, they still experienced that same tingling sensation all over their bodies.
Listening to it again brought the exact same emotional stirring.
Yet, they still had one lingering question.
What on earth were these lyrics actually about?
Why couldn't they understand them at all?
Was this truly a song by Bai Ling?
Something felt a bit off.
After all, Bai Ling's songs usually placed heavy emphasis on conveying mood and artistic conception.
With careful interpretation, one could taste many different layers of flavor from them.
*The Abyss* and *Ugly Monster* were prime examples.
Yet this time, they had no idea what the lyrics of this song were trying to express.
The artistic conception was breathtakingly beautiful, carrying a sense of transcendent detachment.
Yet it somehow didn't seem to match Bai Ling's past style very well.
However, time was short, leaving them no room for deep contemplation.
Moreover, so what if they didn't understand the lyrics?
There were plenty of songs out there with lyrics that didn't make literal sense.
The focal point of this song was clearly Doraemon's high notes anyway.
Since Doraemon had expressed those high notes to such a breathtaking degree of perfection,
what else could possibly matter?
Of course, if Bai Ling knew what these people were thinking, she might feel that these youngsters were still too young and naive.
Did they really think this was the absolute peak?
The melody of the song had progressed to its final stage.
Doraemon's voice quietly underwent another transformation.
"My left hand turns into feathers, my right into scales!"
"One lifetime in the clouds, another in the forests."
"Willing to follow you in the guise of a speck of dust, appearing across all mortal realms!"
"With my left hand I pick you up, with my right hand I put you down."
"When my palms press together, you are entirely gathered into my heart!"
"A single stick of incense, ah-ah-ah~"
"You are me, without any distinction~~~"
