Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

Chapter 86 Opening Ceremony

"The opening ceremony is about to begin!"

A voice came from the soul-guided broadcast in the square, instantly dispelling the last trace of noise in the square.

Tens of thousands of eyes from teachers and students of all grades in the middle and senior colleges were focused on the empty rostrum, and a solemn and expectant silence filled the air.

However, at this moment when everyone was watching, Zhou Mingyu's senses detected something unusual.

Several extremely powerful fluctuations of soul power suddenly rose from the depths of the academy without warning, their intensity far exceeding that of any student present, and even far exceeding that of many instructors!

He looked up at the sky almost instinctively.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A sharp, piercing sound came from afar, tearing apart the tranquility of the square and instantly drawing everyone's attention away from the podium and towards the sky!

Several dazzling streams of soul power, carrying an oppressive aura, shot out from the direction of the core area of ​​the Spirit Transmission Academy.

In the blink of an eye, the streaks of light reached the sky above the platform, their speed suddenly decreased, and they fell as lightly as feathers.

As the bright light faded, several figures were revealed.

At the head of the group was none other than the current Spirit Transmission Douluo, the Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, and the Dean of the Spirit Transmission Academy—Qian Gu Dongfeng! He wore a black tower master's robe with dark gold patterns, his face was calm, and he exuded an imposing aura without anger; his eyes swept over those below.

Following closely behind was the vice dean, the renowned Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu.

Dressed in a fiery red outfit that accentuated her breathtaking curves, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her phoenix eyes exuded an air of arrogance that looked down upon the world. Yet, deep within those eyes, there seemed to be a hint of languidness that was hard to detect.

Next is Bai Xuanming, the second of the four great spirit messengers whose fame shook the continent: the White Dragon Douluo. He wore a silver-white robe and had a cold temperament like ten thousand years of ice.

The Azure Phoenix Douluo Luo Zhanqing, dressed in flowing blue robes, had a refined and scholarly appearance, yet his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as an ancient pool.

Finally, there were eight powerful figures with profound auras, dressed in councilor's robes, all of whom were the backbone of the Spirit Pagoda Council.

hiss--!

The moment those figures became clearly visible, the entire square fell into an almost vacuum-like silence, followed by an uncontrollable gasp of shock!

Super Douluo! And not just one or two, but a terrifying dozen or more Super Douluo-level beings!

This power is enough to easily annihilate a superpower!

The sheer number of powerful individuals and the quality of the teaching staff at Chuanling Academy were laid bare before all the new students, bringing an unparalleled sense of shock and suffocation.

Many ordinary students turned pale, and even the scions of wealthy families abandoned their arrogance, replaced by awe.

Qian Gu Dongfeng took a step forward, his soul power naturally amplifying his voice. His voice was not loud, but it clearly resounded throughout every corner of the square, carrying a calm and composed air of complete control: "Dear teachers and students." His opening remarks were concise and powerful: "I am Qian Gu Dongfeng, and I am honored to be the first dean of Chuanling Academy."

On behalf of all the faculty and staff of the Spirit Transmission Academy, I would like to welcome you, the young talents of Douluo Continent, to the Spirit Transmission Academy!

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted instantly.

"Thank you all for choosing the Spirit Transmission Academy," Qian Gu Dongfeng nodded slightly and continued, "I hereby guarantee that I will never let you down."

His gaze swept over the young faces below. "I know you come from different places and have different pasts, but at this moment, standing in the square of the Spirit Transmission Academy, we are one family!"

"Therefore," Qian Gu Dongfeng's tone became more solemn, "I have prepared ten suggestions to discuss with you all, concerning your future paths—"

What happened next made Zhou Mingyu's lips twitch slightly.

Qian Gu Dongfeng's speaking style instantly and seamlessly switched from the all-powerful Tower Master to—the long, boring, and clichéd principal's speech template from Zhou Mingyu's previous life memories!

"First, we must set lofty ideals and closely link our personal destiny with the glorious future of the Federation —"

"Secondly, one must study and practice diligently, for the path of a Soul Master is like rowing against the current—"

Thirdly, we must respect our teachers and value their teachings, and unite with our classmates.

The words were clear and articulate, and the ideas were lofty, but the content was empty and lacked originality. Zhou Mingyu could even smell a strong "ghostwriting" vibe in those carefully crafted parallel sentences and perfectly matched slogans.

The students' initial shock and awe dissipated as quickly as the tide receded.

His once straight back began to slacken slightly, and his bright eyes gradually lost focus.

The students in the front row were still able to maintain a "listening attentively" expression, while some in the back row had already started to secretly yawn, stare blankly, or exchange a knowing, helpless look with the person next to them.

The applause became sparse and sporadic, a purely mechanical response.

In an instant, he keenly realized that not only the students were like this, but even the several super Douluo big shots on the podium seemed to be getting restless.

The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu's slender fingers unconsciously twirled, a crimson feather pen that had appeared at her fingertips at some unknown time. Her gaze drifted into the distance, carrying a hint of absent-mindedness.

Azure Phoenix Douluo Luo Zhanqing lowered his eyes slightly, as if studying the patterns on his sleeves. White Dragon Douluo remained cold, but that coldness seemed more like a detached dream.

Several councilors tried hard to maintain a serious expression, but their shifty eyes betrayed them.

The ancient voices of Dongfeng on stage continued, but the atmosphere below the stage had changed from solemn to pervasive "boredom".

Who was he? How could he possibly miss the students' forced attempts to stay awake and the almost palpable boredom emanating from the high-ranking officials around him?

When he caught a glimpse of Leng Yaozhu twirling her pen out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but pause.

Immediately, the image of his capable secretary flashed through his mind; after three sleepless nights, she had written this nearly twenty-page speech, rich in allusions and beautifully written—

But looking at the sea of ​​black students below the stage, it was as if they had been collectively cast a "sleep spell" on them—

Even the words of "The East Wind Through the Ages" couldn't help but pause with an extremely slight pause.

For a moment, a fleeting, indescribable expression—a mixture of helplessness, embarrassment, and a touch of self-amusement—flashed across his dignified face.

Even with his exceptional composure, he couldn't quite hold back in this situation!

That's it!

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, his voice suddenly changing, the previous official and distant tone vanishing instantly, replaced by a more direct, even casual, tone: "Alright, enough with the pleasantries."

Next, I'll get to the practical stuff and talk about the benefits and support system at our Spirit Transmission Academy!

This sudden turn of events jolted all the drowsy students awake! Countless previously scattered gazes instantly refocused, shining like searchlights onto Qian Gu Dongfeng's face, filled with astonishment and—expectation?

On the stage, Qian Gu Dongfeng watched the audience below, who were completely different people before and after the incident. They went from being lifeless to being energetic in an instant, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Even though he was shrewd and never showed his emotions, he was almost amused by the huge contrast. His lips twitched slightly, and finally turned into an almost inaudible sigh and a helpless bitter smile.

These young people are really realistic to a certain extent—which is kind of endearing.

"Buzz—!"

The entire square was instantly ablaze! The dazed look of the group of people vanished in an instant, and now the students stood up straight, necks stretched out, eyes wide open, and ears perked up, as if afraid of missing a single word.

Lofty ideals and diligent study were all thrown to the winds at this moment, and everyone's attention was firmly locked on every word that Qian Gu Dong Feng was about to utter!

This is the real "practical information" that they care about and that directly affects their interests!

Seeing the sudden burst of energy from the audience, Qian Gu Dong Feng on stage felt a wave of helplessness turn into a bittersweet feeling.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand and loudly dropped the real "bombshell".
