Langstel Starlight Arena.
At 7:40 PM, the stadium was already packed with people.
Starlight Arena is the largest stadium in Langstel, capable of accommodating thirty thousand people.
Although the concert was still twenty minutes away from starting, the stadium was almost filled to capacity, showing the star power of the singer holding the concert.
This concert’s star was Emilia Castillo, touted as Atraria’s new queen of pop, currently at the peak of her popularity, dazzlingly famous.
Using the ticket in hand to find the corresponding seat, Leo was surprised to find himself in the third row of VIP seats.
“Madame, you’re quite something, getting tickets to seats like these,” Leo praised.
Madame glanced at him, replying indifferently, “A friend gave them to me. I originally didn’t want to come, but it would be a waste not to.”
“What kind of friend gives you such good tickets?” Seeing Madame seemed reluctant to say, Leo jokingly added, “I get it, boyfriend!”
Madame couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, saying irritably, “Think before you speak. If I had a boyfriend, would I bring you?”
“Fair point.” Leo feigned ignorance earnestly, amusing Madame instead.
Boom!
A loud drumbeat followed by music drowned out the noisy crowd all at once.
At 8 PM sharp, a voice emerged amidst the fast-paced music.
Spotlights converged in the center of the stage, revealing a figure under the lights in a tight, black leather outfit, her hair styled wildly.
Legs, hips, waist, chest, face, she had it all.
While others listened to the music, Leo appreciated the singer’s physique.
Madame quickly became immersed in the songs, occasionally singing along.
She noticed Leo zoning out and said something to him, but he didn’t hear a word, lost in the music.
Starlight was indeed beautiful, especially singing so well, Leo thought, by the end of the concert, even someone indifferent to celebrities like himself might become a fan.
Starlight performed dance moves on the vast stage, her devilish figure and graceful dance blending together, almost fatally attractive to any man.
Impulsively, Leo used his spiritual perception to probe the big star on stage.
To his surprise, he found the woman radiated a strong aura of yin energy.
Aside from the heavy yin energy, there appeared to be no other abnormalities, which puzzled Leo.
A normal person, even a woman, shouldn’t emit such strong yin energy.
After one song, Starlight waved her hands, greeting her fans with a smile.
The ear-piercing, excited screams sounded like a flood breaking the dam, reverberating thunderously as countless fans wildly waved their glow sticks. Under the night sky, they resembled a myriad of falling stars.
As the fans went wild, the music started up again.
This time, the music was much softer, its gentle tunes combining with Starlight’s unique, heavenly voice was truly an enjoyment to the ears.
Especially at the high notes, the piercing and infectious power made Leo believe in Starlight’s talent and strength in singing.
Influenced by the atmosphere around him, Leo quickly merged into the group, enjoying everything that Starlight brought to the table.
Midway through the concert, after a classic track finished playing, Starlight announced she had invited a mysterious guest.
The lights slowly dimmed down, and the audiences quieted in curiosity and anticipation, wondering who the mysterious guest could be.
Click!
A spotlight lit up, followed by another click, and a second spotlight came on…
A person slowly rose from the center of the stage, wearing a splendid, glittering stage costume, his hair styled coolly.
He bowed his head, standing still until the lift fully aligned with the stage.
All lights focused on him as he slowly lifted his head…
The venue went silent for three seconds, then exploded into earth-shattering screams.
The screams were mostly women, some even turning red-faced from screaming, their eyes shining, practically wearing their adoration on their faces.
The guest star was naturally another singer, also a wildly popular star across the north and south of the river, with Leo being able to sing a couple of his songs.
Rafferty, thrice crowned as the king of singers, an absolute powerhouse, even more popular than superstar Xiang Shan.
Today, as a guest at Starlight’s concert, he changed his usual style, cradling a guitar, playing a refreshingly new folksong.
Rafferty gently strummed the guitar, his voice magnetic and slightly husky. Without complex mixing, the guitar’s sound was ethereally clean, soothing like a gentle stream, complemented by Rafferty’s unique voice, exuding peace and beauty.
Fans quietly waved their glow sticks, their expressions blissful as if savoring fine wine.
Leo glanced at Madame beside him, seeing her eyes become dreamy as if she were drunk.
Leo also felt a strong sense of drowsiness taking over, his eyelids fighting to stay open.
This abnormal sensation alerted Leo, who forced himself to resist the sleepiness, extending his spiritual perception towards Rafferty on stage.
The moment Leo’s spiritual perception touched Rafferty, his heart skipped a beat.
Demon Cultivator!
The superstar Rafferty was actually a Demon Cultivator!
He had concealed his aura so well that Leo’s Spiritual Power almost failed to detect him!
On stage, Rafferty seemed to have sensed something too. His hand playing the guitar hesitated for a moment, but then he continued playing.
As he increased the frequency of his strumming, sound waves constantly entered Leo’s ears, overwhelming him with sleepiness.
By forcibly channeling his Spiritual Power, Leo managed to clear his mind.
Looking around, the venue’s glow sticks were no longer waving, and fans were all sleeping in their seats, even Madame beside him, leaning on the chair back, peacefully asleep.
Leo held her hand, enveloping her with his spiritual perception, feeling that the life essence was flowing out from her forehead towards the stage.
The life essence, also known as vital energy, is the foundation of a person’s lifespan.
In other words, the more life essence one has, the longer they live, and vice versa.
Once the life essence is gone, the person’s soul will perish, meaning death.
