Chapter 535
Therefore, at this time, some smarter students already began to suck up to Elena.
"Don''t even mention Yuri Zhang! She''s not even at the same level topete with Elena, okay?"
"That''s right. Bay City University had said before that they would win the championship. But now, I
don''t think they can even make it into the top ten."
"Yuri Zhang? She didn''t even show up. Maybe she was scared and ran away after seeing Elena''s
performance!"
Although Elena was talking modestly, she was actually feeling very proud of herself, her arrogance
pouring out from the look in her eyes. She thought secretly, "Oh Yuri Zhang, see? You''ll never be
able topete with me."
"As for that man who pped me, I''ll be sure to find you and teach you a good lesson after entering
Director Liu''spany," Elena thought with malice.
While Elena and the others were talking, Bay
City University''s team had been performing on the stage for nearly three minutes.
The soothing music coupled with the graceful dance was supposed to look visually appealing, yet it
was making people sleepy by the minute.
More and more people left, while those who stayed started to talk out of boredom. Everyone was
obviously not very interested in thisst performance.
However just when everyone was losing focus, someone suddenly noticed a girl appearing on the
stage.
Dressed in a pastel green gown, the girl''s hair was tied into a ponytail that swung around as she
stepped onto the stage. She had light makeup on her face but still looked graceful and sweet.
Holding a microphone, she slowly made her way to the center to the stage and stared fearlessly into
the distance. Her gaze was calm yet soothing. Raising her microphone, she opened her mouth and
started singing.
Her voice rang out sweetly. It was as though it managed to transport the audience to another
dimension. Her voice was the embodiment of clear spring water flowing down from the mountaintop;
like the breeze blowing in the midsummer and like the crystals floating down slowly on a snowy
winter''s day.
The noisy atmosphere suddenly began to quiet down as the girl sang. Almost everyone was
stunned, and then they couldn''t help but cast their eyes on the stage.
Without any care in the world, the girl sang her heart out on stage. Everyone was captivated by her
voice that was crisp and clear. Unbeknownst to them, they were slowly brought into the girl''s world
through her voice, their eyes were glued to the initially dull performance.
The audience immersed themselves in Yuri''s beautiful voice. Complementing her singing was the
graceful dance movements that now looked like a work of art.
With that, Yuri sang of a story that brought the audience on an imaginative journey into a world of
fantasy. The lyrics she sang painted pictures of mountains and streams that were vividly brought to
life in front of the audience.
When the song ended in high spirits, Yuri and the dancers bowed to thank the audience.
It was only then that the audience suddenly came to their senses. All of them gave a standing
ovation, sending waves of apuse and cheer ringing throughout the stadium.
The audience who were ready to leave the stadium a while ago were suddenly overwhelmed with
emotion and began to discuss the performance excitedly.
"This voice is too beautiful."
"This is the sound of nature! I''ve finally had a glimpse of the sound of nature!"
"What''s the name of the girl who was singing? Her voice is so beautiful!"
"It''s not just her voice, look at her appearance!
Her looks are definitely top-notch!"
"Yes, she''s very pure. The more I look at her, the more I can feel my heart pounding wildly."
"I''ve decided, she will be my goddess from now on!"
The audience were excited and so were the judges. A moment ago, they had almost decided to end
thepetition and give their verdict. Yet now, their eyes were lit up with joy and they immediately
started to discuss their decision fervently.
Elena, who was initially full of herself backstage, now had an ugly look frozen on her face.
The students around her who had been talking about thest performance earlier had shut their
mouths.
They looked at Elena''s twisted expression and startedforting her.
"Elena, you don''t have to worry. Although this performance was not bad, it''s definitely not as good
as ours."
"That''s right. Yuri can''t bepared with you."
"Yes, Elena, don''t be discouraged. You are already a star so you''re already a level higher than her."
While they wereforting Elena, the judges announced their final scores.
The emcee announced loudly, "The final score for thest team, Bay City University is, 98 points."

"Wow!” The tension in the stadium rose with the announcement of the highest score for the whole
festival.
"98 points! This is the champion!"
"Not only is the team the champion, but their score also surpassed the second ce by 10 points!
That''s amazing!"
"That''s awesome! No wonder Bay City University was thest to perform!"
"Yuri Zhang is just remarkable. Goddess Yuri, I love you!"
Upon the verdict, Elena could not maintain her calm demeanor any longer. Her gaze was fierce and
unfriendly, while her fist was clenched tightly.
However, it was not over yet on stage.
Originally, after the host announced the scores, it would be the time topile the rankings and
proceed with the awards ceremony.
However at that moment, an elder with gray hair suddenly stood up from the judges'' seats. He held
up his microphone and asked Yuri, "Youngdy, what''s your name?"
Yuri was stunned upon hearing him address her before replying obediently, "My name is Yuri
Zhang, sir."
Hearing this, the elder nodded in approval and said, "Yuri, let me introduce myself. My name is
Erasmus Sun, and I am the principal of the Long City Music Academy. I would like to formally invite
you to join our academy and be my apprentice."
His sentence left everyone in awe and admiration even before Yuri could make up her mind.
"Erasmus Sun, I didn''t expect it to be Master Erasmus."
"Master Erasmus is a very important person in the local music industry. He is an extremely
influential icon here in Long City."
"Really? He''s that powerful?"
"The ignorance! You don''t even know Master Erasmus? Have you heard of Susie Song, the
songstress, and Bob Lin, the prince of love songs? They are all students of Master Erasmus."
"What? He''s so powerful? Yuri is so lucky to have such an opportunity!"
"This is more than just being lucky! Did you hear Master Erasmus offer for her to be his
apprentice and not just a student? This means that he''s going to coach her personally! Just think of
it, Yuri is going to be his personal apprentice if she epts!"
After hearing the various discussions, everyone realized the weight of Erasmus'' words and they
couldn''t help but feel excited for Yuri.
"That''s amazing! She actually got Master Erasmus'' approval?"
"Goddess, what are you hesitating for? ept it quickly!"
"You''ll definitely have a bright future if you be Master Erasmus'' apprentice!"
