Chapter 98 Shocking Opening
The red-dressed man found row 24 and pointed at it, saying, "This row is where you are responsible. I must remind you that you must arrive here half an hour in advance, which is two cups of tea time, because the seats here will change five minutes before the ceremony."
"Remember, fighting is prohibited here. After all, there are many families here. You might offend a powerful or very powerful being. Of course, it is not ruled out that some gods will come to visit early. If you accidentally offend them... then I can only wish you good luck!"
"And if you need anything, just ask for help from the staff around you who are wearing red clothes with the West Lake College emblem on their chests!"
After giving a few instructions, the man in red said goodbye and left.
Lin Dong watched the man in red and other people in red walking towards the dock to welcome the next group of families.
After Lin Dong and his friends memorized their family’s viewing position, they returned to where they lived.
Lin Dong was from a small family and did not have any magical instruments for living, so he went to a nearby store and spent a lot of silver and spirit stones to buy a tent for living.
This tent is expandable and can be divided into different rooms. It can accommodate hundreds of people without taking up much space.
All reception procedures at West Lake College are well organized.
These days, every family in Hangzhou has been hired to work for West Lake Academy, on the one hand to entertain the people from these families, and on the other hand to develop some of Hangzhou's characteristic businesses. The generous rewards and the high consumption of those families have caused the income of the entire Hangzhou to skyrocket. The income from just one day is directly equivalent to the income of the previous half year, which made Qiantang County Magistrate's eyes narrowed into slits.
The people now have money in their pockets, earned through their own hard work, and they have a stronger sense of belonging to West Lake University and Hangzhou.
After all, they also contributed to this celebration.
Many families have been rushing to Hangzhou during these days, and batches of cultivators and monsters have been brought into the Xixi Wetland.
Because of the pressure from the coming gods, no one dared to act rashly for fear of offending the gods.
Of course, there were some familiar faces and some enemies, but they all stopped fighting under the overwhelming force of the West Lake Academy students.
Everything went as planned. Time passed slowly, all the families were in place, and the anniversary celebration of West Lake College was finally approaching.
In the very center of Xixi Wetland, on the largest island, a huge platform suddenly rose slowly. Above the platform, four huge screens appeared, forming a square. On the screens, the stage on the platform was directly enlarged.
All the family members and monsters have already taken their seats, waiting for the celebration to begin.
At this moment, Lin Dong was suddenly startled by the shaking seat under his butt.
I saw the seats where they were sitting began to move.
The rows of seats began to rise slowly, from the first row all the way to the last row, rising in a step-like manner and directly into the air.
Lin Dong looked down and saw that under their seats, in addition to a large piece of ground, there were also pieces of stone slabs fixed. At the very bottom was a whole iron plate. Under the iron plate were rattan bars that were as hard as steel. These rattan bars steadily supported the iron plate to rise from the ground, forming a stair-like aerial viewing platform.
Lin Dong couldn't help but exclaimed, "The sky viewing platform! Exciting!"
In his sight, several aerial observation platforms rose above the island, and aerial observation platforms also rose on the surrounding islands.
These viewing platforms echoed each other and formed a circle in the air, surrounding the aerial stage in the center.
It turns out that this venue is not just a venue on the ground as imagined, but the entire Xixi Wetland is the venue.
Not only is the stage in the air, but even the viewing platform is in the air. It can be said that the entire venue is an aerial venue!
Lin Dong was shocked by the atmosphere of the venue, especially the gorgeous stage and those enlarged screens. Some of them looked so novel, yet so thoughtful!
However, the more shocking thing is yet to come.
“Please give the warmest applause as we welcome the gods from the upper realm to make their grand entrance!” A huge, sweet yet huge voice rang in my ears!
White clouds suddenly floated over the viewing platform, and gods appeared above the clouds.
Of course, this was communicated in advance. The gods appeared above the white clouds amidst the thunderous applause from the audience. The feeling of honor and being the center of attention made many of them happy.
"This celebration is quite interesting!" Taishang Laojun stroked his beard happily, and together with Tota Li Tianwang, he conjured up a chair and sat together.
Their location was naturally above the viewing platform where the Li family was.
When all the gods were in place, a burst of music began to sound.
Golden snowflakes were falling inexplicably from the sky.
"Golden snowflakes?"
Lin Dong curiously reached out to take it, but found that it was empty. Was it fake?
The gods all saw it very clearly.
Erlang Shen snorted coldly, "Such a poor illusion!"
Taibai Jinxing laughed and said, "It's just to set the mood, why take it so seriously?"
At this moment, accompanied by golden snowflakes, eight girls in the same red dresses flew onto the stage holding long swords.
Several sword lights of different colors shot out from the long swords of the eight girls, interweaving in the air to form brilliant rays of light.
Many of the practitioners present were looking at the stage in slight shock.
"Is that wood, water, fire, and earth, four single attributes? He looks very young, yet he can emit such a sword light, it's scary!"
"Golden snowflakes, don't they add up to gold, wood, water, fire and earth?"
"So gorgeous, so beautiful!"
It is now approaching sunset, and under the reflection of the setting sun, colorful lights accompanied by magnificent music push the celebration to a climax.
Eight girls in red long skirts danced with long swords in their hands like fairies descending to earth. Sword lights appeared on the screen in the air along with their own complete sets of martial arts figures.
"Oh my god, that's not just an ordinary sword light, it's a set of swordsmanship!"
"The eight girls demonstrated eight sets of sword techniques!"
"Peerless swordsmanship!"
All the family members stood up in shock. They had never expected that West Lake Academy would make such a big move just for the opening of the celebration.
Eight sets of sword techniques!
These are eight sets of sword techniques that match specific attributes. Making them public is like giving them as gifts to everyone present!
