The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 132

The trainees went up on stage one by one to perform, some sang gently, some focused on dancing, and some could sing, dance, rap, and do it all. The performances got stronger and stronger as they went on, slowly ramping up the excitement!

The cheers from the audience below got louder and louder with each act, passionately supporting the performers. With the powerful sound system supporting them, the fans no longer needed to worry about being too loud and affecting the people on stage.

Finally at 5pm it was Nan XiangWan's turn to take the stage. The MC hadn't even come out to introduce her yet but the audience was already hyped up and cheering!

In the end, Jiechou still didn't get the photo he wanted, he could only wait for the official photos to be released. The stage was still being set up as the MC hyped up the crowd, "Scream your hearts out later, the sound engineer has got you covered tonight!"

The audience: "Woohoo!"

Nan XiangWan quickly ate the two steamed buns Xiao Dong handed her, rinsed her mouth, and walked out of the waiting room.

She put on her earpiece and stepped onto the front of the stage.

The lights went dark.

In the silence, a single small spotlight quietly lit up.

The accompaniment for "Legends Never Die" began to play.

The whole stage was pitch black, the solitary beam of light flashed rapidly, then blossomed into a sea of stars.

The 11 second intro built up anticipation, lighting up the stage like the night sky!

Nan XiangWan's voice rang out:

[Legends never die]

[When the world is calling you]

Her voice was husky as she stood quietly in the center of the stage and sang.

The glittering lights danced around her, sweeping over her solitary figure.

The mesmerized audience below could barely make her out, only catching glimpses of her bewitching silhouette amidst the sea of stars.

Solo!

The crowd strained their eyes trying to see her, but the lights continued their teasing game, only revealing flashes of her at a time.

Like a half-hidden beauty tempting their curiosity!

Making everyone itch for more!

Her unique raspy voice continued:

[Every time you bleed for reaching greatness]

Starting soft and slowly building layer by layer towards a climax.

At 40 seconds in —

The drums kicked in!

Her voice began to soar!

The lights blazed on brightly along with the music!

[Relentless you survive]

In an instant, radiant light flooded the entire stage.

Many audience members leapt to their feet, roaring and cheering, pumping their fists in exhilaration!

Nan XiangWan's image was seared into everyone's eyes in that moment.

Dressed in skintight black with red-soled high heels, her hair a bold, fiery red!

The gold dragon on her shoulder seemed to roar to life, as if to fuse with her song!

Nan XiangWan held the mic in her left hand, the limited edition watch on her wrist glinting under the lights.

She was every inch an otherworldly dragon queen!

The crowd below screamed and shouted,

Frantically waving their light sticks!

Still grasping the mic, Nan XiangWan strode forward, singing:

[They never lose hope when everything's cold and the fighting's near]

[It's deep in their bones, they'll run into smoke when the fire is fierce]

Her unique voice and stage presence brought the lyrics to life with each line.

As she kept walking forward towards the edge of the stage, facing the audience, her voice carried on:

[But you'll never see the price it costs, the scars collected all their lives]

[When everything's lost they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat]

[Before it all starts they suffer through harm just to touch a dream]

[Oh pick yourself up 'cause]

In the next moment, the climax hit!

Nan XiangWan suddenly planted one foot up on the front stage monitor facing the crowd!

Her fiery tresses flying, the gold dragon on her shoulder vividly alive.

She screamed:

[Legends never die!!!]

Boom!!!

The stage exploded!

The crowd erupted!

Countless people leapt to their feet, cheering!

The front rows had gone crazy!

Screaming at the top of their lungs!

Waving their arms wildly!

Still standing with one foot raised, Nan XiangWan looked up towards the ceiling of the huge stadium.

Raising her other hand to the sky!

Her powerful voice rang out:

[Begging you to fight]

[Pick yourself up once more]

[Oh pick yourself up 'cause]

[Legends never die]

Her bold outfit, forceful singing, and commanding stage presence set the entire arena ablaze.

She sang the song like a declaration of war,

As if rallying the roar of dragons rising up to battle!

Many in the crowd sang till they were hoarse, frenziedly bellowing along.

Even more who had played League of Legends were moved to tears, screaming along flooded with memories!

This song was the dream of their youth!

That 2017 Worlds!

That S match!

Nan XiangWan herself was in the heat of battle, each line stronger than the last, belting out the final verse:

[Legends never die, they become a part of you]

[Every time you bleed for reaching greatness]

[Legends never die]

As the last note rang out, the drums stopped.

Nan XiangWan raised her right hand in a defiant fist!

At the same time her gaze swept over the entire arena.

Her past was over.

Her new life had begun!

Whether there in person or watching the livestream, everyone's eyes were fixed on this moment.

This image of the red-haired girl with her fist held high!
