When Mo Zhu found the ticket booth and arrived at the venue, the host in the arena had already started introducing the rules of the competition today excitedly.

Today’s competition was between Team RH, the team Yuan Cheng plays in, and Team YM. Team RH represented Beijing, while Team YM was the number one team recognized in Cloud City.

Regarding today’s friendly match, the audience below the stage could be said to have been looking forward to it for a long time. As everyone knew, other than Beijing teams, only eSports teams from Cloud City could be considered one of the best in the industry. Hence, many fans from all over the country came from afar to watch the competition, just to see this high ranked team competition with their own eyes.

The competition was divided into three rounds. It was a best-of-three. Of course, if any team won two rounds first, it would be considered as a direct win and the third round would be automatically canceled.

Such a competition system was very easily comprehended, and it also aroused the audience’s strong desire to win. When the host introduced the rules, the crowd could not help but cheer happily.

As soon as Mo Zhu sat down, she was surprised by the surrounding students who were shouting. Clearly, she was not used to the current environment.

She took a deep breath and pretended as if nothing had happened. After searching her pocket, she took out a pair of earphones and put them on her ears.

The rowdy noise instantly vanished from Mo Zhu’s ears. The girl nodded in satisfaction, took out her phone and skillfully tapped on the screen.

“Alright, we just received a notification from backstage that our Essence Soul has picked up the person he wanted to pick up and has returned to the arena. Now, I solemnly announce that the competition will officially begin!”

“Next, let’s invite the members of Team RH on stage to say hello to everyone!”

Under the emcee’s guidance, the team of five people walked onto the stage in an orderly manner and proficiently stood in a row.

The microphones were passed one round in their hands, and the cheers from the crowd grew louder and louder. Finally, when the microphone reached Yuan Cheng’s hand, the cheering reached its peak.

After clearing his throat, Yuan Cheng took the microphone and introduced himself calmly, “Hello everyone, I’m Yuan Cheng. I’m very happy to come to Cloud City to participate in this friendly competition. Friendship is first, competition is second. I believe that through this competition, our Team RH will be able to break through and reach a higher level!”

Originally, the self-introduction segment should have ended here, but after being reprimanded by Yuan Cheng’s manager before the competition, the host naturally wouldn’t let go of this good opportunity to tease.

Before Yuan Cheng handed the microphone to the staff waiting by the side, the host asked.

“From the Essence Soul’s expression, it seems like he’s in a very good mood. I wonder if the Essence Soul is willing to reveal who the lucky ‘friend’, who was personally brought to the scene by him, is?”

“I believe the audience, friends, and fans present are as curious as I am. What do you all say?”

Upon hearing the host’s question, another wave of cheers erupted in the venue. Mo Zhu sat in the crowd and scratched her head in frustration. Just like everyone’s gaze, she looked at Yuan Cheng, who was not far away from her.

At this moment, Yuan Cheng had already taken off all his disguises from the time he went to find Mo Zhu. Without his mask and sunglasses, his face looked youthful with the maturity of a young man.

He looked around the crowd for a long time. Under the dim light at the scene, he finally found the deep eyes that he had been thinking about the entire night.

He smiled lightly. Another warm voice came from the microphone with a bit of magnetism.

Yuan Cheng looked into those eyes. “She’s a very important friend to me. Speaking of which, everyone should know her too. Her code name is only one letter, the letter ‘J’.”

As Yuan Cheng finished speaking on the stage, the audience below the stage instantly erupted into chaos.

“What? Did I hear wrongly? The Essence Soul was talking about the J-god, the J-god who peaked after her debut?”

“Ahhh! It’s J-god! The prime partner of the Essence Soul! The mysterious big shot who only participated in one team competition and did not even show her face! This is the true mysterious big shot in the world!”

“J-god is here? Could she be sitting amongst us? What kind of luck do I have! I can actually watch Essence Soul’s competition with J-god live! I’m really too lucky!”

The people below the stage started chatting again. Some of them were loyal fans of Yuan Cheng for many years. They had already started to share the history to Team YM’s new fans discreetly.

At this moment, the host standing beside Yuan Cheng was also extremely excited. Looking at the burning gazes of the audience below the stage, he couldn’t help but open his mouth, wanting to get more information about this big shot who only existed in legends.

“Oh, so it’s the almighty J-god who has graced us with her presence at the scene of this friendly match. I wonder if after so many years, I would be fortunate enough to invite the almighty J-god to reveal her true appearance? This would satisfy the curiosity of everyone…”

As the cheers from the crowd grew louder and louder, Mo Zhu raised her hand and calmly tidied up her hair. She lowered her head slightly and avoided eye contact with Yuan Cheng, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Naturally, Yuan Cheng also saw the girl’s actions. He understood that the reason why Mo Zhu kept such a low profile was because she did not want to disrupt the peaceful life she had now.. Thus, he raised his right index finger and gently pressed it to his lips. The man opened his mouth and said softly, “Now that everyone has guessed that it’s her, let’s give her a chance to be alone peacefully, alright?”
