"Thanks to Warrior Teacher for the amazing performance. Honestly, I've listened to it so many times that I forgot to breathe."
An Hong said with a laugh.
The whole crowd erupted in laughter.
It really was something—no one could figure out how Warrior managed to sing the entire song with such minimal breathing.
"Do you have anything else you'd like to say, Warrior Teacher?"
An Hong glanced at Warrior.
Warrior adjusted his breathing. "Everyone might be curious why I chose the song 'I Surrender.' Actually, there are four reasons. First, I wanted to pay tribute to Teacher Yang Zhongming. Second, I wanted to respond to the breathing issue with an arrangement. Third, I thought it would be fun to sing a song my opponent has performed. As for the fourth…"
Warrior paused.
An Hong played along. "What's the fourth reason?"
Warrior chuckled. "I just really like the title of the song."
An Hong froze for a second, then blurted instinctively: "I Surrender…"
Poof!
