Ning Cheng smiled faintly. "I thought you might recognize me..."
It wasn't an arrogant statement. With his strength and status, it was only natural that most people who came to Xuanhuang Sky Beyond Heaven would know who he was. Even Mo Zhou, who had just arrived, recognized him—but surprisingly, Kong Zai did not.
Kong Zai's face revealed a trace of awkwardness as he explained, "I've been staying in Xuanhuang Sky Beyond Heaven to look for something I lost. I only registered to participate in the combat competition here and avoided getting involved in anything else or gathering information. That Mo Zhou likely guessed what I'm searching for—and he also covets my Magical Artifacts, constantly trying to eliminate me. We've been fighting all the way here to Xuanhuang Sky Beyond Heaven. While he's slightly stronger than me, he can't do anything to me without external help."
