The voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed clearly through the silent plaza.
After a second of absolute silence, the viewing area for the Nine Heavens Peak disciples erupted in cheers and applause far more fervent and proud than before.
A barely perceptible ripple passed through Peak Master Fang Qinghan's deep eyes as he gave a slight nod.
The Peak Selection Ceremony had come to a perfect end.
With the ceremony over, the crowd began to disperse.
Li Wen didn't linger. After a quick word with Fang Chenghong, he turned and headed for the airship hangar.
The plaza remained abuzz as each peak crowded around to welcome their new disciples.
Just as Li Wen was about to step off the edge of the plaza, a sharp gaze—filled with scrutiny and a powerful sense of challenge—landed on his back.
His senses sharp, Li Wen stopped and slowly turned around.
