The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 44

On the day of judgment.

Many trainees gathered in the auditorium, wanting to catch a glimpse of the action.

Tan Ying did not stop them, but rather canceled the lessons in the morning to accommodate the curious participants. In her words: "Ye Xingling, do you think that being a diva is easy? Hard work is not enough. You need to have talent, musicality, stage presence, the ability to control crowds, the ability to deliver under pressure, X - factors, charm. In a live show, all your weaknesses will be revealed, but of course, so will your strengths. Show me how far your potential is. "

He didn't raise any objections. Before leaving the dormitory, he looked at himself in the mirror.

The girl in the mirror was wearing a white dancewear, her long hair was breaking down, and her eyes were light brown. She was beautiful, but in a place like a training camp where there were many beautiful girls, she had nothing that would make her stand out. He's 17 years old, but his bone structure is thin. Under the gentle morning sunlight, he was like a quiet white bird.

He reached out his hand to put a finger on the mirror and the girl in the mirror did the same.

"Xiao Ling," he said to himself in the mirror. "You must walk the path of the future alone now."

A cold sensation coursed through his body from his fingertips.

He let his hand fall and turned to get out.

There were a lot of people in the auditorium when he arrived. Groups crowded the corridors and the main hall, waiting for activities to begin. Xia Ling quickly scanned the room as she walked in and realized that about half of the trainees were present.

They point and discuss it around –

"He's Ye Xingling? Who refused to go to Imperial Entertainment?"

"Yes, I don't know what the problem is. I heard that Imperial Entertainment saw a lot of potential in him, but he was unwilling to accept their offer."

"Haha, is it because he knows he doesn't have what it takes and is afraid of embarrassing himself in Imperial Entertainment?"

"Who knows? He even made a crazy statement here that he had diva potential. Is he mental? Does he think there's a diva walking down the street? Hahaha …"

"Just right! Just look at him now. The diva? If he can become a diva, I will become a God!"

After that, they all laughed out loud.

Xia Ling remained calm and prepared to face the scorn, her thin body standing gracefully. He walked straight ahead. The trainees gave him all sorts of gazes and said all sorts of things as they stood staring at both sides of the corridor, but gradually some began to feel her formidable presence – This girl in the midst of all the chaos and controversy, why did she have the air and arrogance of a diva?

As he walked, the scorn became less and softer.

Xia Ling continued walking forward and saw a man in a neatly depressed suit and holding a crocodile leather bag standing in front of him facing him. It was Chu Chen.

"Ye Xingling," Chu Chen spoke first, his tone full of scorn. "You really think you can be a diva? Dream on! Why do you have a brave struggle? You can still go quietly with me. If you go on stage, you will only lose face. Not only will that be the case.it does not change the outcome, but you must also suffer the scorn of all those present here. Why bother to go through this? "

Xia Ling's expression turned cold as she said, "Go."

People around jerked in shock –

Does he know who he's talking to? It was Chu Chen! Famous top manager of Imperial Entertainment! The former exclusive manager of the legendary diva Xia Ling! The man who was Pei Ziheng's most trusted and highly respected aide!

From what was heard, even Great Boss Pei Ziheng did not speak so rudely to Chu Chen. Only the arrogant and stubborn Xia Ling, who was spoiled rotten by Pei Ziheng dared to speak rudely to Chu Chen when he was unhappy.

Who did Ye Xingling think she was? Xia Ling's? How dare he speak to Chu Chen in that way!

However, no one could have imagined Ye Xingling that standing in front of them, looking fine at the best, would be the prodigious legendary diva Xia Ling underneath. He had never bothered to give face to Chu Chen before, let alone now, after going through such a thunderous experience in the past. He knew Chu Chen's true color, and he had deeply offended him in the past.

Seeing Chu Chen still standing in the same place, he repeated, "Go."

His voice slowly became more and more sinister.

Xia Ling was not interested in listening to his nonsense. Making his way around her, he walked into the jury auditorium.

In the jury auditorium, it was full of people. Seeing Xia Ling enter, everyone's eyes turned towards her. Xia Ling was breathing slowly as she adjusted her steps. This was his habit whenever he would take the stage in his past life. He would empty his mind with every long, slow breath, not seeing, listening or thinking about anything else, eliminating any distractions, so that his mental state was at its best.

He walked step by step to the front of the stage.

“Inviting Miss Ye to the stage.” The sweet voice of the host was heard.

Xia Ling walked confidently on stage using narrow stage steps.

The host took to the stage and the lights on the stage darkened.

Suddenly, floodlights from all directions trained him, making it difficult to keep his eyes open. This was a familiar feeling he had not experienced for a long time. Brightness and heat seemed to be able to remove anything in his way. Being in the middle of the spotlight with the darkness around him, for a moment, it felt like he had the universe.

Here, he is the universe.

He heard a voice coming from his right. "You're Xingling, are you ready?"

He turned his head to look in that direction, a light glaring following his gaze. It was a judging panel consisting of five people – Tan Ying, Wei Shaoyin, and three other top management at Skyart Entertainment and, at the same time, the, highly respected music experts in the field.

The one who spoke was Tan Ying.

Xia Ling nodded, picked up the microphone and said, "I can start anytime."

Tan Ying verified with her again. "Are you still determined to sing acapella without background music?"

"Yes," he said.

The audience exploded with various reactions. Some praised him, others scoffed.

Everyone is aware that singing acapella without background music is much more difficult than singing with background music, especially for live performances. Even singers who are veterans in the industry would hesitate before doing anything crazy. However, the acapella singing was the most telling of the singer's abilities, and this was the exact reason that Xia Ling chose to sing the acapella. Either he doesn't sing at all, or he'll make sure everyone won't say anything about his singing.

"Crazy," Wei Shaoyin swore softly.

He smiled at her. He raised his glass towards her anxiously, but more than that encouragement, was written in his eyes.

“Tersubscribe.” Tan Ying's voice sounded again. "You're Xingling, you can start."

The lights on the jury panel dimmed and she was left alone in the world again.

This time was different from the trainee examination, he did not need to hold back and needed to really focus. He remained silent, imagining himself floating in endless darkness, in a virtual world, in eternal loneliness. . .

He released the first line of the song slowly from his mouth. "Under the starry sky, in the sea of night."

There was a commotion directly from the audience, which spread like a wave—

"He sings 'The Sea Devil'!"

"This is Xia Ling's song 'Sea Demon'!"
