Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 774 - 747: Miracle

Of course, for those legends, there’s no need to queue early in the morning.

Wherever they go, they enjoy VIP treatment.

Early morning, in front of the five-star hotel.

Luo Jingwen saw Ye Zong carrying luggage, looking surprised:

"Director Ye, you’re here too, when did you arrive?" Last night during the legendary gathering, he wasn’t seen at all.

"Well, I had something to do passing through Zhonghai, so I thought I’d stop by." Ye Zong nodded, his expression slightly unnatural.

Passing through? Yeah right!

But life’s tough, no need to expose. Luo Jingwen could only pretend not to notice.

He could somewhat understand the complex feelings of the older generation towards the newer ones; sometimes the gap between genius and ordinary people is so despairing, you can’t even catch up to their dust.

Back in the day...

"Then you must not have a seat, how about I talk to the school? The dean of this academy is General Manager Chen’s sister, I know her." Luo Jingwen said with a smile.

"No need... the school reserved one for me." Ye Zong said.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but luckily, other legends came out of the hotel.

"Lao Luo, so early, Lao Ye, you’re here too." A white man swaggered out of the hotel, greeting while glancing at Ye Zong: "I heard you’ve broken through to a sub-god level, shall we spar sometime, a peaceful spar of course."

It was An Haoran, the former leader of the Pantheon.

Ye Zong’s eyes lit up too: "Sure, let’s arrange a time, anytime works."

In literature there is no number one, in martial arts no number two.

Of course, President Chen is number one, that is beyond doubt, and no one dares to challenge it.

But he has long been above all, reaching an incredible realm, like a sun reigning over all, inducing no thought of comparison.

The title of second, in a way, is almost as valuable as being first.

...

By eight o’clock, everyone had entered the venue.

It was simply a sea of people.

Even the teaching buildings nearby were occupied by local stationed troops taking advantage of their proximity, each floor packed with soldiers.

On the playground, apart from a small portion with seats, the vast majority of major martial artists and even some martial artists had to stand, crowded together, but even so, everyone was enthusiastic, the atmosphere fervent.

"The Second Martial Arts Academy is still a bit small." A city leader sitting in the front row, feeling the bustling atmosphere, said with a smile.

"It’s not that small, it’s bigger than the First Martial Arts Academy. It’s just that General Manager Chen’s appeal is too strong, if international transportation wasn’t inconvenient now, people from abroad would flock here." A deputy said.

The leader felt fortunate: "Thank goodness, fortunately nothing went wrong."

...

The pressure from this speech was not only felt by the city leaders.

The teachers and volunteers of the Second Martial Arts Academy hadn’t rested since yesterday, working on logistics. Chen Xingyue personally supervised and urged the logistics staff, busy and exhausted.

As the time approached, she became increasingly nervous.

Despite it being the harsh winter, with the cold wind howling outside, she was sweating profusely from being busy.

"Brother, it’s eight o’clock, you can come out now."

"Not early."

Chen Xingyue was a bit exasperated, couldn’t he arrive early?

"It’s already eight o’clock, please... okay, okay, I’ll meet you at the school gate." Chen Xingyue hanged up the phone with a bang, telling others in the office: "Pay attention now, I’m going to pick up General Manager Chen."

"Dean, rest assured, leave this place to us. Bringing General Manager Chen here is the most important thing now."

...

Chen Xingyue hurriedly rushed to the school gate.

The place was heavily guarded, with soldiers stationed every five steps, and even the streets around the academy were cleared, no pedestrians in sight.

Chen Xingyue looked up at the sky, it was gloomy, filled with leaden clouds.

She secretly prayed in her heart.

Please don’t snow.

In fact, today’s weather forecast was for clouds with snow or sleet.

Fortunately, weather forecasts are not very accurate today; even if it snows, we shouldn’t be so unlucky as to have it during the speech.

At this point, self-comfort was the only option.

She kept checking her watch, waiting anxiously, but it was a full half-hour before her brother finally arrived leisurely.

"Why so late?"

"People recognized me on the way, they were so enthusiastic, I couldn’t just walk away, took a while to get rid of them." Chen Shouyi looked at his anxious sister, somewhat embarrassed.

"Can’t you just disguise yourself?"

For those who have reached the foundational skill of refining their bodies in meditation, changing one’s appearance is as easy as eating or drinking, let alone for someone like Chen Shouyi.

But why disguise?

He didn’t respond to that:

"Wasn’t it not late? Sigh, you’re just too impatient." Chen Shouyi said.

"That’s General Manager Chen."

"General Manager Chen is here."

...

The surroundings gradually began to stir, countless eyes from the buildings on either side of the street gazed over here.

There were no screams, no cheers, but in everyone’s eyes, there was amazement, curiosity, exploration, mixed with fervor, admiration, and awe.

People seemed to be gazing up at a deity, or perhaps a miracle on earth.

Chen Shouyi calmly glanced back, and immediately, everything fell silent, needle could be heard dropping, he turned back to his sister and said: "Let’s go."

Chen Xingyue was stunned by Chen Shouyi’s aura for a moment, subconsciously responded: "Oh, oh, okay, okay!"

With soldiers heavily guarding, Chen Shouyi made his way towards the playground, like a silencer, wherever he went, silence quickly followed.

He walked briskly, quickly jumping onto the playground stage, standing in front of the microphone.

The noise instantly subsided like receding tides.

Standing on the podium, surrounded by countless fiery gazes, Chen Shouyi remained calm inside.

As of today, he’s no longer the shy, sensitive boy he once was.

He patted the microphone, tested the sound, smiled, then began: "Thank you all for coming so far to listen to my speech."

With just one sentence.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the playground erupted with thunderous applause.

Countless people clapped vigorously.

Below the stage, Chen Xingyue also smiled and clapped, then suddenly touched her face and looked up at the sky, what she was worried about had happened.

It started to rain.

Fine rain mixed with snowflakes fell from the sky, casting a shadow over the speech.

It’s still fine rain now, but it’s bound to turn into a heavy downpour soon.

Among those present, not just major martial artists and martial artists, there were also many leaders; the former could withstand it, but the latter, exposed to an icy downpour for an hour or two in this cold weather, would certainly fall seriously ill.

Chen Xingyue hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and jumped onto the stage, whispering into Chen Shouyi’s ear: "Bro, it’s raining, how about postponing the speech."

Chen Shouyi was taken aback: "Postpone? No need!"

He looked up at the sky.

Focused his will!

In the next instant, the sky slightly trembled, emitting a grand low roar as if from a prehistoric giant beast.

Simultaneously, the clouds overhead began to churn, under some invisible force, the clouds fled across the sky like fleeting horses, disappearing rapidly.

Golden sunlight, through gaps in the clouds, poured down countless golden beams.

After a few seconds of silence on the playground.

"Boom!"

A resounding "boom".

Astonishment!

Utter astonishment!

This was divine intervention!

Including legends like Ye Zong, An Haoran, countless people involuntarily stood up, slack-jawed, like petrified!
