Twenty seconds of prelude had passed in the blink of an eye.
The audience, both on-site and watching the live stream on their phones, were barely holding their breath.
The sense of anticipation had reached its zenith!
Finally, Gu Yu began to sing!
"All, are brave—"
"The wound on your forehead/Your differences/The mistakes you've made."
His voice was rich and magnetic, deep and gentle, making everyone's breath catch again just as they had relaxed.
Classmates and teachers who were highly empathetic even started singing softly along.
"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"
Gui Anni clenched her fists in excitement, sat back down on her stool with a thump, and turned to look at the several young teachers singing along behind her.
She knew that with Gu Yu's opening lines, he had made a splendid start to the battle!
Start singing, and you're on your knees!
Yu Xiaochuan and the other members of the media closest to the stage felt the emotion most intensely.
