Aunt Li Xue, who was standing next to Wang Tianfeng, was also somewhat taken aback.

This step wasn't in the original process, was it?

In fact, this speech was added on short notice, and all the leaders agreed to it.

Wang Tianfeng's reasoning was that Jiang Wang had to say a few words, and he couldn't ask for a script, because only genuine feelings could resonate with all the people from the other world.

He never mentioned how his back teeth almost broke every time he saw Aunt Li Xue making a ruckus as she went to find Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang had no choice but to go up to the podium.

Jiang Wang's face was projected onto more than a dozen large virtual screens around him.

To be fair, while Jiang Wang isn't exactly handsome, he's extremely pleasing to the eye, especially with his unique aura—cool and gentle, like a refined gentleman. Although Jiang Wang's fighting style is extremely brutal, it doesn't stop people from already swooning over his looks.

"Ah~~ So handsome~"

"~~~~"

The repeated calls made Jiang Wangdu a little embarrassed.

As Jiang Wang fell silent, an eerie stillness descended upon the scene.

He had already prepared his speech in his mind; giving a speech wasn't difficult for him...

But whenever he tries to open his mouth to give a perfunctory answer, he always thinks of the people in the Primordial Realm who spoke up for him, of the people who donated blood for strangers or even people he had no relation to during the novice trials, and of the people in the City of Eternity who generously sacrificed their lives.

Indeed, along the way, waves of Earthlings have died. Faced with death and the unknown world, some chose to compromise, some chose to indulge their desires, some sacrificed themselves, and some became flames to illuminate a path for all...

He was simply lucky to have awakened good talents and a good unit type, which gave him the opportunity to stand here, speak to everyone, and make the voice of the planet Earth heard. So he put his prepared speech out of his mind.

Just as Zhou Gan and the others thought Jiang Wang was about to crash and were preparing to step in to salvage the situation.

Jiang Wang's voice suddenly rang out.

"Do not listen to the sound of rain pattering through the trees; why not chant and stroll leisurely?"

A bamboo staff and straw sandals are lighter than a horse.

Who's afraid?!

Let life take its course, like a straw raincoat in the misty rain.

The chilly spring breeze sobered me up from my drunken stupor.

Slightly cold.

The setting sun shines obliquely on the mountaintop, welcoming us.

Looking back at the desolate place

Go back

Neither wind nor rain, neither sunshine nor gloom.

Finish.

Jiang Wang felt that nothing could inspire the hearts of all the people in the other world more than this poem, "Calming the Waves".

Their indomitable and stubborn spirit soared to the heavens.

When Jiang Wang read out the first sentence, Wang Hou in the audience instantly teared up, and even tightened his grip on his wife's hand.

He used to have a good job on Earth, his parents were alive and well, he had a loving wife, and friends...

But a beam of blue light instantly changed everything. In the Primordial Realm, if it weren't for Jiang Wang, his wife might have been defiled by that beast Li Jin. In the Novice Trial, if it weren't for his good luck, he and his wife might have died in the City of Eternity...

Even though he had no fighting ability, he still stood strong and firm in front of his wife. No matter how great the difficulties, he was like a man, like a pillar, holding on tightly.

But he hated it!

He doesn't have Jiang Wang's strength; he doesn't even have the strength to protect his wife!

He could only barely survive by relying on Jiang Wang's name and Xiao Yan's care.

Even so, his wife remained steadfastly by his side, offering him gentle yet unwavering support.

He stubbornly lived on, for the sake of his family and friends!

But at this moment, his tense expression completely collapsed as a single tear slid down his cheek.

Not only him, but all the Chinese people around him instantly understood the meaning of Jiang Wang's poem.

Foreigners, thanks to the precise translation provided by Kaiyuan World, accurately understood the meaning of the poem.

In an instant, many people thought of the scene of their friends dying in front of them.

Many people recalled moments they had never dared to look at directly.

A friend's body, a loved one's dying wish, a child's longing...

Even Jiang Wang, who had always lived by the motto of cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, couldn't help but be moved, and her eyes reddened slightly.

Unconsciously, he clenched his fists.

"From now on, if there are no more torches, I, Jiang Wang, will be the only light!"

This is his declaration, and also his promise to everyone.

When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven!

With the last sentence uttered.

All the big shots behind Jiang Wang changed their expressions.

They certainly understood the meaning behind Jiang Wang's poem, the fearless spirit it contained, and even more so, the resolute determination in Jiang Wang's very last words.

Jiang Wang could have become a respected and powerful figure, recruited by various forces and enjoying the best resources, but he still chose a difficult path.

Zhou Gan, Wang Tianfeng, and the others behind him all stopped looking down on them.

Because the original intention of the Star Sea Alliance was to allow every person from another world to live with dignity!

The commendation ceremony concluded successfully amidst thunderous applause.

Jiang Wang also kept his promise.

That afternoon, Jiang Wang established an association.

Blue Star Federation.

Wang Hou was also hired by Jiang Wangcheng as a member of the association.

Although some people resisted Jiang Wang's group-building behavior, with the silence of Zhou Gan, Wang Tianfeng, and other high-level leaders, everyone could only complain.

It was late at night when he returned to his dormitory.

Jiang Wang sat on the bed, wondering if he had acted impulsively today.

So many people, what kind of trouble will they cause... and how much blame will they have to bear?

But when he saw the tears welling up in the eyes of the kings and the grateful looks in the eyes of the ordinary people, he still sighed.

One week later.

Jiang Wang has just finalized some of the more important matters within the federation.

"Alright, that's fine then."

Jiang Wang rose and left his seat, while Xiao Yan, Han Bingyan, Xu Nuo, Wang Hou, and others also stood up...

Seeing the figures standing up one after another, Jiang Wang suddenly stopped and said.

"Thank you all for being willing to do your part for others."

After saying that, Jiang Wang left, as he still had to participate in Aunt Li Xue's combat training.

When selecting talent, Jiang Wang considers ability as an important factor, but other skills are even more important.

Take Wang Hou, for example. He has excellent management skills and was able to handle all matters in an orderly manner during the busiest early stages.

Jiang Wang walked on his way to the training room.

Throughout this time, members of the federation kept sending him greetings.

The strong are always a minority, while the many weak have gained a sense of warmth for a time because of the existence of the Federation.

And with this unique trait, they quickly became a well-known alliance within the Star Alliance Academy.

Upon arriving at the training room, Jiang Wang suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.

He only opened the door after calming himself down.
