On 15 October 2021, Wu Keyue was announced the winner of the season, marking Hacken Lee's first win as coach. Wang Jingwen, Chen Wenfei, Yao Xiaotang, and Kazu finished runner-up, third, fourth, and fifth places, respectively. With Keyue's win, she is the first person to receive all turns from coaches in the blind auditions and win the competition. Additionally, for the first time in the show's history, all finalists were female.
Coaches and hosts
Only Li Ronghao returned from the previous season. Li Jian did not return for Season 6, making room for the return of Wang Feng after a four-season hiatus. Na Ying also returned after being absent from the previous season. However, she only participated in the blind auditions, leading to Liao Changyong replacing her afterwards. These coaches were joined by first-time coach Hacken Lee. Therefore, Nicholas Tse and Li Yuchun have been confirmed to leave the show. The host remained the same as last season.
Note: Italicized names are stolen artists (names struck through within former teams).
Blind auditions
This season introduces teaching assistants. Coaches Na Ying, Wang Feng, Li Ronghao and Hacken Lee will team up with assistants Zhang Bichen, Huang Xiaoyun, Jike Junyi and Momo Wu respectively. Teaching Assistants function like normal coaches. However, when it comes to recruiting contestants, the final decision is up to the coach on whether or not they want the contestant on their team. In other words, the contestant cannot be recruited to their team unless the coach presses their button. If the teaching assistant pressed their button but not their coach counterpart, then the coach has the last 30 seconds to decide if they want the contestant after the song finishes. While there is a 30-second countdown, if the teaching assistant is really impressed by an artist's performance, they can choose to use their Instant Recruit ability. This means that the teaching assistant can press their button again, causing the chair's voice system to say "I WANT YOU" and the respective coach to instantly turn around. This also makes their team available for the artist to choose. However, this action can only be done once per team.[6][7]
In this stage, the coaches are to recruit a total of six artists to form a team of their own, contrary to five in the previous season. The forming of the teams would move to a format that is similar to the "Six-Chair Challenge" featured in the British version of The X Factor. Once a team is full with six artists occupying all the spots, the subsequent artists which the coach has successfully recruited would have to face-off with one of the six artists in the sing-offs for a spot in the team.
The incoming artist may select any of the six defending artists to compete against in the sing-off, and both artists would each sing a new song and the coach would decide on the winner. The winner would be given the spot in the team. However, continuing from last season, the losing artist has the chance to be saved by other coaches (the same function as the steals from The Voice. The coaches are given 10 seconds to save the losing artist for elimination. If one coach presses their button, he/she will be automatically on the new coach's team and if more than one coach presses, same as with the blind auditions, the artist has the opportunity to choose which coach they want.
For defending artists, once they have won a sing-off against an incoming artist, they would receive immunity from the subsequent sing-offs and immediately advance to the next round of the competition.

The winning artist will receive one point for their team while the other artist will not receive any points. However, if the coach uses the bonus point into the artist and won, the artist will receive two points for their team; otherwise, the artist will not receive any points.

In this round, coaches will draw to determine when they will have the power to choose first. That coach will choose an artist from his team and state which opposing team he wants that artist to face off against. The chosen artist from the representative team will decide his/her opponent by draw as well. Each coach is allowed one block in this round. If a coach used a "Block" on his artist, he/she may not face a certain artist from another team by default. At the end of each Cross Knockout, the two artists will receive votes of approval from a 51-person judging panel. The artist with the most votes will advance to the Playoffs, while the other would be eliminated.

Artist won the Cross Knockout and advanced to the Playoffs
The Top 11 performed in the Playoffs for a spot in the Top 8. The order of appearance of the artists was decided through the drawing of lots by their respective coaches. In deciding who moves on, a professional judging panel made up of 51 veteran record producers, music critics, and media practitioners from various media companies; as well as the studio audience made up of 200 members of the public were given an equal say. Each of the voters was entitled to one vote per artist, and they can either choose to vote or not vote for a particular artist. The maximum score that the student will receive of the professional judging panel review is 51, and 50 for the live audiences, thus having the maximum score of was 101. Eight artists with higher overall scores advanced, while the other three will be eliminated.
The Top 8 performed in the semi-finals for a slot in the finals. Just like in the playoffs, the order of appearance of the artists was decided through the drawing of lots by their respective coaches. The same voting procedure in the playoffs will be done in the semi-finals: a 51-member professional judging panel, as well as 200-member public. Five artists with higher overall scores will advance to the final, while the other three will be eliminated. With Wang Jingwen and Kazu's advancement to the final, this is the second instance that a stolen artist advanced to the finale. This is also the first time that more than one stolen artist advanced to the finale Coincidentally, this is the second consecutive season that Li Ronghao managed to advance a stolen artist to the finale. Also, with the elimination of Wang Honghao 王泓昊, this is the first time in the show's history where no male singers are represented in the finale.
