Chapter 222: Chapter 222: PK Competition Rules
Tiffany Lynch went back to her seat, crying and not listening attentively for the rest of the class.
James Landon took no notice and just continued his lecture. All he was doing was his duty and anything else had nothing to do with him.
As class was about to end, James Landon stopped his action and stood up to declare, "The assessment for the theme song will be vastly different from before..."
As he said this, he paused for a moment, and all the cameras shifted their focus to the trainees at the back of the classroom, not missing a single detail.
This time, the assessment for the theme song introduced a PK system, which allowed the trainees from lower-ranking classes to challenge those from higher-ranking classes, and they could also choose to challenge across classes.
In other words, if a Class B trainee challenges a Class A trainee and is successful, their ranks would be switched. The Class B trainee would move to Class A, and the Class A trainee would move to Class B.
Of course, if a Class F trainee were to challenge a Class A trainee, and if they are successful, the ranks would still be switched accordingly.
If they fail in their challenge, they would be demoted by one rank. If a Class F trainee fails in their challenge, they would become substitutes and would not be able to perform on the theme song stage.
If several trainees challenge the same person, the penalty for rank switching applies to the challenger with the lowest rank.
Although this seemed like a simple PK system, it was filled with traps and tested each trainee’s judgement of their own strengths and those of others.
If they dared to challenge across ranks, and among them was a Class F trainee, the consequences might be extremely dire.
At the same time, the program team also announced a major news.
The theme song PK will be broadcast live online on the same day, with netizens directly voting for the initial Class C of "Shining Star Journey 2" theme song.

At lunchtime, the cafeteria was unusually bustling today. Everyone was discussing the new competition format and the upcoming live broadcast.
"Lucy, do you plan to challenge Class A trainees in this PK?"
"Isn’t it obvious? Lucy was only placed in Class B on the initial stage due to a mistake. She has to go back this time. Lucy, am I right?"
The girl’s smile had a hint of flattery.
Hearing this, Lucy Taylor elegantly wiped her mouth. Her smile was bright and her voice exuded confidence. "I wasn’t prepared before, but this time I will give it my all."
Although her words were ambiguous, everyone understood what she meant.
She was determined to go to Class A.
No surprise there. Lucy’s singing and dancing skills might not be the best among the hundred trainees, but her overall ability was impressive. Coupled with her overseas training experience, everyone had high expectations for her.
But no one predicted that James Landon’s requirements at the initial stage would be so strict.
Even today, a comical video of James Landon’s venom-tongued comments about several trainees is still trending online.
"Off pitch."
"Off key."
"Can’t bear to listen anymore."
It’s brainwashing. The confidence of those trainees was completely shattered.
A girl nearby, unable to resist the urge to gossip, asked, "Who are you going to challenge from Class A this time, Lucy?"
Upon hearing the question, Lucy glanced at the girl before lowering her head to eat the salad in her bowl.
It was evident she had no intention of answering.
After all, under such competition rules, choosing her opponent was a crucial decision that needed to be kept confidential.
