After her explosive announcement, Song Ling’er returned to her seat casually, almost like another day for her.

Meanwhile, the crowd exploded into another commotion.

“Senior Fairy Song will accept another disciple?! But if I remember correctly, he mentioned that he would not accept any more disciples after receiving his current two disciples six years ago!

However, not everyone was happy with Song Ling’er's announcement.

"He's really sneaky.. I don't think he's going to strike back so quickly.." Elder Shan felt his eyebrows twitch after hearing Song Ling’er's announcement.

“Because he already knows that Disciple Yuan has what it takes to reach first place if it is not guaranteed to take first place, then, he deliberately announced that he would accept first place as his disciple to use the crowd to pressure Disciple Yuan into accepting. What a brilliant but shameless move!” Elder Xuan shook his head, unsure whether to laugh or cry at Song Ling’er's desperate attempt to force Yuan to join the Celestial Melody Academy.

“What if Disciple Yuan doesn't really reach first place? How then? Will he change his mind just like that?” Xuan Wuhan couldn't help but that.

“No, that's impossible. Although there were two other judges there, Senior Song's judgment would easily exceed their judgment. If he said the first place belonged to Disciple Yuan, he would definitely obtain the first place! Who would dare to deny his judgment? Who has the credentials to challenge his judgment? It's nobody!" Elder Xuan explained to him. "Furthermore, with Disciple Yuan's ability, no one will consider Senior Song's judgment unfair!"

“I-This is really unfair! A scandal! How could someone as prestigious as Senior Song lower himself to such a level just to recruit Disciple Yuan? I cannot understand this .. "Xuan Wuhan sighed.

Elder Xuan and Elder Shan looked at Xuan Wuhan with strange gazes. If Xuan Wuhan knew how talented Yuan was, he would understand Song Ling’er's despair. In fact, if his role was reversed, their Sect Master Long Yijun would definitely do the same as Song Ling’er” doing whatever he could to hunt down Yuan.

A moment later, Senior Zou cleared his throat, and he spoke in a clear voice, "Now let's talk about the competition itself."

“There will be three different sections in the competition, and you will be judged from one to ten by each jury. At the end of the competition, which team has the most points will be declared the first place.”

“For the first part, we will ask you each play three musical notes” no more, no less. You can play any tone you want, but you only have three tones, so choose wisely.”

Senior Zou then pointed to the participant sitting in the first row and said, “We will start from you. You have 30 seconds to prepare, from now on. ”

The place immediately became quiet, and millions of eyes stared at the participant who left first, exerting an invisible pressure on the participant who felt like a mountain had suddenly appeared on his shoulders.

Participants' hands trembled as she grabbed the zither on the table, and a moment later”

Ting Ting Tin”

Three extremely awkward-sounding musical tones resounded in the area, immediately making the faces of the spectators wrinkle.

However, none of the spectators were making a fuss or complaining, and they were quietly waiting for the judge's verdict.

Senior Zou and Elder Jing turned to look at Song Ling’er, almost like they were waiting for him to give his verdict first, but after seeing that he did not move even after a good moment, they decided to give their verdict first.

"Zero."

Senior Zou spoke in a cold voice.

"Zero."

Elder Jing followed.

As soon as the other judges gave their verdict, Song Ling’er finally spoke, and his cold voice resounded clearly in that place, “There is no need for your partner to continue. Both of you can leave the premise, as you are no longer qualified to participate in this competition. ”

After bowing to Song Ling’er and the others, the two of them left the area with embarrassing backs.

"Next one." Senior Zou immediately looked at the next participant.

A few seconds later, three beautiful tones echoed in the area.

"Five." Senior Zou stated.

"Six." Elder Jing followed.

"Two." Song Ling’er said in an indifferent voice.

“”

The audience was slightly confused by Song Ling’er's score which was much lower compared to the other two judges. However, they were not too surprised, as someone like Song Ling’er must have very high standards due to his experience and background.

A few minutes later, over a dozen teams were assessed, but Song Ling’er had yet to give anyone above the three points.

Half an hour and hundreds of teams later, they finally reached a relatively famous team, as they were ranked in the top 20s individually in the previous competition.

Three musical notes later, the two judges looked at Song Ling’er.

But he remained silent.

A few seconds later, Senior Zou spoke, "Eight points."

“Eight points from me too. Good job."

Everyone there turned to look at Song Ling’er and patiently waited for his assessment.

Two seconds later, he opened his mouth and muttered, "Six points."

"Oh! Someone finally managed to score above three points, even doubling it!”

"Who is that? I don't think I know his name.”

“That's Ning Xiang, she placed the last competition 11th. Looks like he has been training hard since then, and his efforts are visible.”

Ten minutes later, the other team managed to receive more than 5 points from Song Ling’er. At this point, the audience and participants alike only cared about Song Ling’er's decision and barely paid attention to Senior Zou and Elder Jing.

After some time, it was finally Song Ling's disciple's turn to’er himself.

"Look! It was Ai Wan and Wei Kang! Senior Student Song Fairy! I had no idea they would participate in the competition! ” The spectators instantly recognize them.

"What! How is this even fair?! They will definitely get first place! This was probably why Senior Fairy Song announced that she was accepting a new disciple! Because he knew how difficult it was to reach first place with his participating students!”

The audience was puzzled by their unexpected appearance.
