Crosson’s broadcasting hall.

The bowl shaped building went silent the instant the magnesium spotlights came on.

A lonely beam of light split the stage, cutting through the middle of the audience’s field of vision like a sharp edged weapon. There was only one person in the beam.

Wu Jin.

Wu Jin had recreated his appearance from the evaluation match. He’d barely put on any foundation, and had only added a light layer of gloss. He wore a black combat jacket with the Crosson Show logo printed on it, and a pure black vest inside.

He gave the camera a bright smile.

The frozen audience was suddenly stirred up, and shrill screams burst into the air. For a moment, the noise rushed in like the tide, and the mama fans and sister fans finally recovered from their previous petrification:

“Little Witch––It’s Little Witch ahhhh!!!”

“I’ve been teased to death... my son has been changed!! Your mama says you’re not allowed to smile like this!!!”

Beneath the stage, Wei Shi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

There was no doubt that the softness of the youth was enough to attract all gazes, and a single smile was enough to garner sky-breaking levels of goodwill.

However, in the next moment when the Crosson Show theme song began to play, the youth’s lips suddenly pursed, his head tilted slightly, long fingers stretching out as he made a silent gesture towards the audience off-stage. His half drooping long eyelashes covered the keen flash in those light amber eyes.

The shrill screams came to an abrupt stop as fans were left at a loss for a moment due to the youth’s gaze. The entire stage, and even the entire audience, was instantly suppressed by this gesture.

If the Wu Jin from just now was still the same one that the audience of the Crosson Show was familiar with, then the current him was a whole world apart.

Almost nobody had ever seen such a Wu Jin.

His eyes were ambiguous under the warm lighting, but they seemed to be stripped of emotion if one looked closer. His facial features were distant and cool––

Damn, it was deadly sexy.

The women seated closest to the contestants were so excited that they almost leaped up. Although they suppressed their voices due to their idol’s hand gesture, their voices could still be heard as they discussed, “Little Witch... this really is Little Witch... I don’t want to be a mama fan anymore, I can’t, I want to...”

Red turned back in a daze, then abruptly shriveled up when he met Wei Shi’s gaze.

The first eight beats rang in at this time, and the youth suddenly began to move.

The warm stage spotlights outlined the mottled edges between light and shadow, showcasing loose sleeves, a tight waist, and panther-like leg curves. His movements were powered from his shoulders and elbows, revealing clean, straight shadow lines due to his extremely precise control of power, then retracting around his tight waist and abdomen––

When the combat jacket flew up, a thin layer of muscle could be seen on the arm that moved so explosively, emitting an attractive sheen under the lights and shadows.

There was no doubt that the Wu Jin on the stage ruled over everything in sight.

Wei Shi’s face was expressionless.

Even he hadn’t thought that Wu Jin could burst out so aggressively after colliding together with the stage.

It was like the rabbit spirit had transformed into a little wolf cub, inspiring the most powerful desire for conquest to rise up in his heart. He wanted to hold him down, set his teeth against his tight waist, his slender arms, and have the wolf cub cry out for mercy like a little rabbit spirit&#k2026;

Wei Shi’s eyes abruptly turned deep and dark.

At this time, not only the audience, but also the 300 plus Crosson contestants were all staring blankly at the stage.

Wu Jin’s movements were extremely exaggerated. Even the lightest, most skilled movements were like sharp, flamboyant visual shocks caused by the tightening of his hips, waist, and calves.

His shoulders and elbows were wide open. Many of the movements in the demo had been girly, but when Wu Jin performed them, he was like a sharp knife that sliced into the audience’s field of vision. It seemed that the slender body was packed with incredibly explosive moves and flexibility. Each stretch and each contraction was like a hug, but because of his indifferent and distant eyes, his fans were cut off from all fanciful thoughts.

He was a king of unpredictable power on the stage.

The audience couldn’t restrain themselves any further. It wasn’t only the mama fans who raised cards for Wu Jin, but also the face con Thin army, and even the other passer-by fans––

“Damn! Little Witch!!! Our mother and child relationship is now broken. We will get to know each other from a different perspective today, as a girlfriend, you understand? Ahhhhh!!!”

“Am I dreaming? This is Wu Jin??! Why didn’t I vote for him in the previous two episodes––was I blind?––”

“I seem to have found treasure... Why did I never notice that male group dances could be so beautiful to watch?! I want to hug Little Witch tight and dance with wild excitement!”

“You’re fucking teasing me ahhhhhh!! Damn it, how terrible, I won’t be able to go out today ahhhh!!!”

The contestants all experienced a shock.

At this time, the stage lights around them lit up in turn. The contestants from the top five teams who were standing behind the c-position Wu Jin suddenly emerged into view.

Thin Fire of Silver Thread Roll and Qin Jinbao of Dolma Entertainment were to the left and right in secondary c-positions. The moment the vocals for the theme song cut in, the five teams of trainees kept up with Wu Jin’s movements and danced at the same time.

They were neat and uniform, like knives flashing in the light.

Red was shocked, “My god! Even this is possible––”

The sweet, cloying sound of Ying Xiangxiang’s voice from the demo was replaced by the vigorous, resounding voices of the 17 trainees. The originally messy voices were processed until they reached a level that could be tolerated by the ear.

On the stage, Thin Fire was still acting coquettish, with Zoe and Caesar mixing in at the back of the group. Taken on their own, everyone looked like they were dancing with their hands tied, but when put together, the overall effect was inexplicably intimidating.

At this time, the atmosphere was finally pushed up to a high peak. Beneath the stage, the fans of the five big teams burst out enthusiastically in deafening praise and cheers!

Under the stage, Ying Xiangxiang was using a low voice to speak words of praise to the director, “Little Witch said that this is called a sword group dance. Survival show contestants have strong muscle memory ability. They don’t necessarily have to show their strength when they dance, and as long as they are neat and uniform, it will still be a show that the audience will remember.”

The director was stunned. “Little Witch also helped with the choreography?”

Ying Xiangxiang nodded and laughed, “He’s the lead dancer and took the initiative to help with the choreography... I figured it would be good to simply give him the lead position...”

In the contestant seating area, everyone was relieved when they saw this scene. On one hand, they felt that Wu Jin had hidden his abilities deeply, but on the other hand, they were also glad––they wouldn’t lose face even if they danced like Caesar! For better or worse, they didn’t need to dance like Ying Xiangxiang!

When the chorus rang out the second time, the trainees who had been caught and forced to practice dancing suddenly shivered.

The choreography included a hip twist here. The center of gravity of their upper body remained the same while their lower body entered a sudden twist. It was indescribable when a fierce male body performed this move, and it was unknown how Wu Jin would deal with it...

On the stage, the youth was still standing there beneath the lights. His arms that were revealed by the open cuffs showed a thin crystal sheen of sweat before being covered by the coat in the next instant. It was like seduction and abstinence interwoven together.

It wasn’t until the third heavy beat cut in that he suddenly pulled off his coat and tossed it off-stage.

The fans in the front row rose up in a flash, but the coat was snatched by the director who’d been prepared early on. The lights gathered together once again, highlighting Wu Jin’s scapula, collarbone, and bare upper arms. His eyes were distant and restrained, but were completely unable to restrain the aggressive hormones that were being released.

Fortunately, unlike the fans who had already gone totally crazy, the contestants of the survival show still remembered the hip twisting of the next eight beats. Very soon, their eyes grew wide open in amazement––

The movement had indeed changed.

Wu Jin right hand seemed to press against his straight, long leg as he looked up lazily amidst the light. From his chest and abdomen, waist and back, all of it was tightened and coiled with power before he abruptly burst out into movement, his waist suddenly appearing close to the camera. The black t-shirt he wore unconsciously pulled up, revealing the aggressive lines of his waist. His faint abdominal muscles carried a sense of seduction and sexiness under the lights, revealing an ambiguous curve.

The next second––

Hip twist.

The entire scene was completely silent.

Even before the audience could react, the scrolling comments on the live stream was already boiling. “God damnn!!! You have the ability to dance, and you have the ability to roll your hips!! Why don’t you come up and do me straight up ahhhh!!!”

“Full of sexiness... I’m dead ahhhhh...”

Even Red couldn’t help swallowing hard before looking rather fearlessly to the left.

Wei Shi’s eyes were as deep and dark as a bottomless pool.

His gaze was locked on the stage. It was clear that his gaze held no warmth, but it seemed that he was about to peel someone bare and swallow them whole in the next second.

At this moment, on the Star Net.

The group stage for the Star League had just finished. The two big teams of the Azure Competition Zone that had high expectations placed on them had stopped at the top 32, so the interest in the topic of survival shows had dropped momentarily.

Different topics were trending on the hot search list. It became ‘Surprise! XX movie star’s secret date’, ‘Surprise! XX tourist area holiday period half price’ and other such conversation topics.

Amidst numerous rounds real-time hot search updates on Star Blog’s main page, one topic was rapidly picking up popularity.

#Legs are soft from Crosson’s amazing lead dancer

This topic initially had very little traffic, but after being reposted by some individuals in the entertainment social media circles, it’s popularity practically exploded––

For no other reason than because the video on the front page of the topic page caught the eye of almost every single viewer.

A beautiful, attractive youth with enough presence to suppress the entire stage, dancing sexily and seductively, with that hip roll as a final killing move––

In just half an hour, this mysterious #Crosson lead dancer had charged up into the top 20 hot searches in one fell swoop and was still rising.

“Is this a newly debuted male group?! This baby wants this little brother, no, my boyfriend’s information within five minutes! @Entertainment Star 8 @Azure Idol Express!!!”

“I originally just wanted to look down at my terminal, but I ended up wiping up my nosebleed until now! There’s nothing else to say; today is the first day of chasing my new star! So excited!! Requesting info +1, and I’ve already installed the support app! You can call on me at any time to promote this topic or to lend support!”

“The name Crosson sounds a little familiar... After licking the video three times, I keep feeling that something is off. What kind of configuration is this male group using? 17 people? Isn’t it... that... a little too buff... I want to take away the main dancer little brother, the sixteen big brothers behind him simply make people want to tremble and shake!”

“Hahahahaha, also, the movements of those sixteen big brothers can’t even keep up, yet it’s inexplicably cute. What’s going on? Judging just from looks, I really like the godly main dancer, the peach blossom eyes on the left, the iceberg face at the back, and the one that looks a little elegant. As for the others, hahahahaha, are they trying to freshen up the atmosphere of a boy group...”

Azure Idol Express soon sent out a reply, “Received. Information is as follows: Wu Jin, 19. White Moonlight Entertainment contracted artist.”

A whole group of fans quickly became excited and rushed over to give their idol support and assistance, but they were surprised to discover––in the idol database, not only was there no Wu Jin, there weren’t even any little brothers with the surname Wu.

The Azure Idol Express who once again received a large number of inquiries then added “Yes, they are a signed artist. They didn’t sign an idol contract, they signed as a survival show trainee. White Moonlight is only involved in survival shows...”

“What?!!!”

This topic surged in popularity once again.

“He’s so good looking, but he went to become a survival show trainee? Are you kidding me?!!”

“Little brother, why didn’t you think it through... wait a minute, I can’t imagine little brother fighting against others in the arena! This style and temperament don’t match up at all ahhhh!!”

However, someone soon tossed out a few cut-scenes––

Wu Jin, who sent the camera a wink in mid-air during a parachute jump.

Wu Jin, shooting with an assault rifle in a high temperature zone.

Wu Jin, who suddenly released a silver ammonia king butterfly and performed an escape maneuver amidst the sparkling mirrors.

The passers-by who swiped through the videos from their terminals found their mouths dropping wide open.

It seemed... a little... badass ahhhh!!!

“Begging for advice aaah!! A star-chasing girl who only knows how to cheer for her idol and has never watched a survival show before... how can I support my little brother?! Where can I buy fan materials? Will there be meet and greets? How do I grab tickets? Can I send guns to my little brother during the games...”

Azure Idol Express instantly received numerous similar questions and could only compile together a list:

“1. You can vote for the contestants on the Crosson Show. Voting only determines the order of entry when the round begins. 2. You can grab tickets for the individual rounds, semi-finals, and finals. 3. For other questions, please move to the Azure Edge Forums (survival show fan forum), and for the sake of your idol, please lurk for three days before posting. Don’t just be a temporary fan... 4. The Crosson Show’s team performance is still streaming live. You can enter the live broadcast room 5678 on the Star Platform right now...”

Half an hour later, the Crosson Show’s live stream room filled up in an instant. The director who had just looked down to check the statistics was shocked, “These people... where did these people come from? Who bought fans? Show me the invoice...”

At this time, the program had already come to an end. The host, Ying Xiangxiang, smiled broadly as she interviewed the five teams and sent greetings through the camera, “Now then, we’ll save our last question for this round’s champion, Little Witch.”

In a flash, the traffic to the live broadcast room increased by another 200,000.

Ying Xiangxiang looked at the prompt board, “The audience member with this question comes from the Southern Cross Galaxy, with the ID ‘Rabbit, let go of that Little Witch and let me do it’.”

Wu Jin was stunned: “......”

Ying Xiangxiang’s expression was very normal as she read out the prompt.

“The question is,” She began slowly, “––what kind of lover does Little Witch prefer? Boys or girls?”

Juurensha: Ahahaha, the dreaded hip twist! But I’m glad Little Witch got to show off his dancing skills (and that WS got to see)

xiin: answer well, Little Witch... Big brother Wei Shi is listening~
