"Miss Mai, do you think it's okay?" Yan Yuxi, seeing Tang Feng's confident demeanor, couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. Could he really have that ability? However, she still turned to Mai and asked.

"Young people don't know the vastness of the world. Since you're so unreserved, I, Mai, will fulfill your wish!" Mai said, giving Tang Feng a faint glance.

At this, everyone became excited. This was going to be a song battle. One was a rising star hyped by the media as a musical genius, and the other was a seasoned composer and lyricist. It was a showdown between the old and the new.

However, almost everyone was not very optimistic about Tang Feng. After all, compared to Mai, Tang Feng's works were far inferior.

"Since it's a song written for Yuxi, let Yuxi decide the type and theme of the song!" Mai said confidently.

"Alright! No matter what, I thank both of you in advance!" Yan Yuxi said.

"As for the theme, as long as it's inspiring and related to Yuxi! Both of you can request any instruments you need. The time limit is one hour. Do you both agree?" Yan Yuxi pondered for a moment and said.

"Inspiring? A song related to Yuxi? Haha, I don't need an hour, just half an hour will do! For instruments, I need an electric guitar and a piano!" Mai said.

"Half an hour, what about you, Tang Feng?" Yan Yuxi asked.

"Sure, I just need a guitar!" Tang Feng said.

"Alright! We have a piano here, so it will be used by Miss Mai. As for the guitar, I'll have the hotel staff bring it!" Yan Yuxi said.

The hotel staff quickly brought two guitars. Mai started creating on the stage, while Tang Feng found a corner.

Mai gave Tang Feng a disdainful glance. In fact, when Mai heard Yan Yuxi's requirements, she already knew what kind of song to use. She had written a song like this before but hadn't released it yet. This time, she didn't need to create it on the spot; she could just take it out. However, she couldn't make it too obvious, or it would be self-incriminating.

Writing a song in half an hour might be possible, but writing a classic song, in Mai's view, was a pipe dream. A classic song not only needs good lyrics but also good composition. If the melody is poor, no matter how good the lyrics are, it's useless.

Writing suitable lyrics might be achievable for some talented people in a short time, but composing a suitable melody is not that easy.

In her view, Tang Feng had no chance of winning. Even though Tang Feng had written a song for Dong Bingbing before, she believed it was a joint publicity stunt, and the song was already written, not created on the spot.

Many people were waiting for the final songs from both of them.

"Do you think Young Master Feng can win?" Liu Yanxi asked, somewhat worried.

"Don't worry. I can't guarantee other things, but for original songs, haha, Young Master Feng has never lost!" Chu Ge said.

"That's good! Hey, this Mai is really hateful, how can she bully people like this!" Liu Yanxi said indignantly.

"Who says it isn't? I really want to see her face after being humiliated by Young Master Feng! This woman is too despicable." Cao Mo said.

...

On Mai's side, she just tested the sound a bit and then started writing on the paper. Tang Feng, however, didn't start writing or testing the sound; he was deep in thought.

This was because there were too many songs in his memory, and several of them were suitable. He was struggling to decide which one to use. To many people, Tang Feng seemed to have already given up. Seeing that Tang Feng hadn't started, many people shook their heads.

Even Yan Yuxi sighed. Looking at the two, it was clear who was better. Tang Feng was still too young and lacked experience. Writing a song in half an hour, and a classic one at that, how could that be possible?

Halfway through the time, Mai was almost done, while Tang Feng still hadn't started writing.

At the 20-minute mark, Mai had completed her composition, and Tang Feng just opened his eyes and started writing.

"Yuxi, I haven't let you down. I hope you like this song!" Mai confidently stood up, holding the newly written song and walked to Yan Yuxi's side, giving a disdainful glance at Tang Feng, who was still writing.

Yan Yuxi read through Mai's song and couldn't help but sigh. Although Mai's song wasn't a classic, it was still a good song. As for Tang Feng's side... Yan Yuxi lost confidence for a moment.

"Mai is Mai! She completed a song in such a short time!" someone said.

"I don't think Tang Feng can do it. Mai has already finished, and he just started writing. What good song can he write in ten minutes?"

"Who knows? I've heard the songs he wrote before, and a few of them were quite good!"

...

As the discussion continued, time passed minute by minute. Finally, the 30-minute limit was up, and Tang Feng put down his pen, revealing a confident smile. He didn't know what kind of song Mai had written, but he was confident that his song wouldn't be worse.

When Yan Yuxi took the song written by Tang Feng, she didn't look at it immediately but sighed.

"Both songs are finished. I propose that Yuxi performs them live. This way, we can easily tell which is better!" Mai said smugly.

"Alright!" Yan Yuxi nodded, knowing she couldn't help Tang Feng at this point.

Yan Yuxi quickly familiarized herself with Mai's song and began preparing to perform.

"Thank you, Miss Mai, for this song, 'Love·Infinite,' which I dedicate to everyone!"

The accompaniment started, and Yan Yuxi began to sing. After the first round, many people nodded slightly. Although the song wasn't a classic, it was still a good song.

Moreover, it fit the current environment well, being an inspiring song.

Liu Yanxi and Chu Ge, being industry insiders, felt a jolt in their hearts when they heard the song and couldn't help but worry about Tang Feng.

However, when they looked at Tang Feng, they found him still smiling confidently. Their original worry turned into curiosity. What kind of song did Tang Feng write for Yan Yuxi? It seemed that Tang Feng wasn't faking it but was genuinely confident.

Mai and Ye Tianlong were also paying attention to Tang Feng's reaction. When they saw Tang Feng's confident demeanor, Mai flashed a look of disdain, and Ye Tianlong thought, "Pretend all you want, you'll show your true colors soon."

Many people, seeing Tang Feng's confident expression, also thought he was faking it. In their view, it was impossible for Tang Feng to beat Mai's song!

If there was more time, there might be some suspense, but in such a short time, they thought it was already impressive for Tang Feng to write a complete song. A classic? Don't be ridiculous!
