In Lena Smith's personal martial arts training space, silver arrows sliced through the air, leaving behind graceful arcs with each precise shot. It was as if she had a mystical connection with the arrows. However, when the communicator buzzed, she had to momentarily set down her bow to face the silver-haired young man on the other end of the screen.

"General Davis." Lena Smith paused her archery practice, her voice tinged with a subtle tension that was barely perceptible. Despite being accustomed to the calm and decisiveness on the battlefield, the upcoming Fire Seed Cup had her feeling a bit apprehensive.

"Emily Johnson has given a definite message," the silver-haired young man said, his voice calm yet authoritative.

Lena Smith's heart rate involuntarily quickened, knowing that Emily Johnson's decision would directly affect the fate of the Golden Phoenix team in the Fire Seed Cup. She took a deep breath, trying to sound more composed: "Has she made up her mind? Is she coming to our Golden Phoenix team?"

"She has turned us down," the silver-haired young man said, his words hitting Lena Smith like a sledgehammer. Her heart swelled with mixed emotions—disappointment and relief. After all, while being a substitute came with a decent salary, it was the Fire Seed Cup that would put her in the spotlight, garnering popularity and more rewards from the audience.

"Not just us, but she has rejected the invitations from the other four major groups as well," the silver-haired young man continued, a hint of regret in his voice.

Lena Smith felt a sense of relief mixed with curiosity. "Oh?" she asked, "Which team did she join then?"

"She said it's confidential and will officially announce it at 8 PM tonight," the silver-haired young man replied, a touch of mystery in his tone as if hinting at a big secret about to be revealed.

Lena Smith's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "General Davis, just wait and see my performance then," she said confidently.

The silver-haired young man nodded, his eyes filled with trust and expectation for Lena Smith. As the communication was cut off, Lena Smith's training space fell silent once more, but her heart was in turmoil.

"Hahaha... I knew it," Lena Smith said with a triumphant smile, "the top three in popularity on the spectator platform, and the strongest goddess archer, she's not that easy to invite." Her confidence seemed to pierce through the screen, infecting every viewer.

"But she turned down all the groups, which team did she join?" Lena Smith's curiosity was piqued like a mischievous kitten scratching at her heart. She decided to check out Emily Johnson's live stream at 8 PM.

...

At 8 PM that night, Lena Smith entered Emily Johnson's live stream through the spectator platform. Sitting in the stands, she marveled at the dense crowd, exclaiming, "Emily Johnson's popularity is truly terrifying. The live stream audience has already broken ten million for her announcement tonight! This is what a top-three streamer looks like. Why is my popularity so low?"

Lena Smith felt both envious and helpless. She knew that strength alone did not guarantee high live stream popularity.

Take Quincy Shawn, for example; he worked hard to manage his live stream and entertained his audience, ranking in the top hundred in the Nymph Fairy list in Xiaguo. Yet, his online viewers usually numbered only in the thousands, barely breaking ten thousand at most.

Compared to Emily Johnson... it was a thousandfold difference!

Lena Smith's live stream popularity was even worse than Quincy Shawn's. Mainly because his live stream was too dull, he wasn't eloquent, and he wasn't handsome enough, naturally, his appeal was much less.

"As I've told everyone, at 8 PM tonight, I will officially announce the team I've joined," Emily Johnson said, wearing a custom-made blue robe with fiery red patterns. She pointed to her clothes with a smile, as if presenting a precious piece of art.

"A team uniform?"

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"None of the most famous teams have this uniform, right?"

"This uniform is quite good-looking."

The audience buzzed with speculation about the team name.

Emily Johnson smiled and said, "Now, let's welcome my teammates!"

Whoosh!

Beside Emily Johnson, figures appeared simultaneously.

The stunningly beautiful 'May Lee' with a perfect figure, the reserved 'Jamie Smith' with an imposing aura, the handsome 'Finn Brown' with a dashing demeanor, the youthful 'Quincy Shawn' with a clear complexion, and the burly 'Chase Ron' who looked like a standing bear, all wore uniforms.

"It's Cat Cat!"

"Ahhh, Cat Cat!" Many viewers screamed in excitement. May Lee also had tens of millions of fans, and they were loyal. Although there were many who followed Jamie Smith, they were mostly casual fans.

"Is Cat Cat, a low-star player of the Sun Grade, also joining the team?"

"I think the minimum requirement for substitute players can be the Sun Grade."

"That's Jamie Smith!"

"In the first divine battle, Jamie Smith was the most dazzling. But later, he gradually became mediocre. Finn Brown and Quincy Shawn are somewhat famous, but who is this big guy? I've never seen him before."

"Chase Ron! He's also a divine-level master, but he's less famous."

All sorts of discussions filled the air.

Emily Johnson said with a smile, "Everyone must be familiar with this one, she's my idol, also a talented singer... our Cat Cat!"

"I'm honored to serve as the team's manager," May Lee said to the audience with a smile, "I also serve as a substitute player."

"These four are our team's main players," Emily Johnson walked to the edge of the team and quickly introduced, "This big guy is Chase Ron, this handsome one is Finn Brown, this is the youngest Quincy Shawn, and this... is our wise and mighty captain, Jamie Smith."

Jamie Smith, Quincy Shawn, Finn Brown, and Chase Ron all smiled at the audience, with Chase Ron being the most nervous. He had never been in the World Martial Arts Competition, never been the focus of millions of people.

Being watched by tens of millions of people at the same time, Chase Ron was obviously a bit nervous.

"Emily Johnson's praise makes me a bit embarrassed," Jamie Smith said with a smile, "But being able to invite Emily Johnson to join our Pearwood team before the Fire Seed Cup registration is about to close has surprised our whole team."

"It should be me thanking the captain, thank you for the captain's invitation," Emily Johnson said, she is the oldest in the team this year, at the age of three. Strictly speaking, Chase Ron is the same age as her, but Chase Ron is a birthday in December, and Emily Johnson is a birthday in January.

"Thank you, Emily Johnson, for calling me the most handsome in the team," Finn Brown said with a smile, "In the future, I will definitely kill the enemy in advance and not let the enemy threaten Emily Johnson."

"I will also protect Emily Johnson well," Chase Ron said, his voice firm.

"The enemy's assassin is handed over to me," Quincy Shawn said, his eyes flashing a sharp light.

...

While the team members were chatting, there were also many people with ulterior motives among the countless audience in the stands.

"Emily Johnson joined Jamie Smith's team, which is quite interesting," said a tall, short-haired woman, looking at the scene, she got up, her eyes filled with a complex emotion.

"We invited her, but she didn't want to join, and in the end, she chose a team with her as the core," said Yvonne Green, who also got up, "Sister Green, we now have Hannah in our team, and I believe Hannah will be better than Emily Johnson in the future."

"I still have some gap with Emily Johnson," said Hannah, a baby-faced girl, her voice modest.

If Emily Johnson is the big sister of the national team, after all, she has won three Olympic archery championships. Then Hannah is the star of tomorrow, she just won the Olympic archery championship at the age of 17 last year, and she is also the youngest in the team.

"What's important is that we have a master," Daisy Young also got up, she admires her senior brother Jamie Smith the most, and she also admires her master Celia Green.

Master Celia Green, the most legendary figure in the women's martial arts fighting industry!

...

"It turns out that she chose Jamie's team?" said Lily Steel, a short and fat woman, looking at the scene. As one of the three legendary figures in Xiaguo martial arts, Ray Willow and Ray Cloud have now become a myth, ranking among all humans globally, only he... So far in the country, some can't sit still.

In the country, Ray Willow, Ray Cloud, and Yvonne Archer are definitely the top three! Even Celia Green and Skye Bearman, many people think they are stronger than Lily Steel.

Lily Steel has always been holding a fire.

"I will prove that I am qualified to be on the same level as Master Ray Willow and Ray Cloud," said Lily Steel, who got up and left alone.

...

"Haha, Jamie, your son is quite good, and he was able to invite the strongest goddess archer in Xia

guo," said Dane Tony, a handsome middle-aged man who looked a bit similar to Daisy Young, with a smile.

"He is also your apprentice," said Hugh Smith, who had evolved into a middle-aged appearance after his body evolution, as if he were a fierce tiger. After practicing the tiger pounce for forty years, the meaning of the fierce tiger has long been in his bones.

Hugh Smith nodded, "With Emily Johnson, Jamie's team is also complete, and they can go further in the Fire Seed Cup."

"Let's go and train quickly," said Dane Tony, who got up, "We, a group of old guys, have to train well. If we encounter Jamie and Daisy Young in the Fire Seed Cup and are abused by them, it would be a disgrace."

"Yes, we have to let these young people know that ginger is still old and spicy," said Hugh Smith, who also got up, and the two old buddies left to rush to train.
