Chapter 55: Opening Ceremony



Time passed by in a flash as everyone was busy.

During this period of time, the progress at the school has been like a rocket, with news coming in every now and then.

One moment they said that the soil improvement device had been developed and the results of field tests were very impressive; the next moment they said that all psychic weapons could be produced independently, and even half of the psychic weapons could be mass-produced.

And the computer that Xia Changan cared about the most was finally put on the research and development agenda by the school.

After several great successes, the elders had a lot of experience in combining modern technology with local spiritual power rules. They felt that with the current level, they could start to try to develop machines of the same level as computers.

After hearing the news, Xia Changan couldn't help but look forward to the grand occasion when computers are popularized in the future. She sincerely hopes that the real Internet era can come as soon as possible.

It's not just the researchers in the universities who are working hard; officials in Daxia are also not idle.

After three months of preparation, the Zhongzhou Region Spiritual Master Competition was finally held as scheduled. Today was the opening day of the competition.

Because the competition involves too many complicated people and trivial matters, the venues for previous competitions were not in Kyoto, but in a separate venue thousands of miles away from Kyoto.

This is mainly because all the participants are outsiders, and the countries are not particularly harmonious. The participants in the Spiritual Master Competition are all powerful spiritual masters, so Daxia has to be on guard.

So, this time is no exception.

Although the competition venue is remote, tens of thousands of people have gathered there.

Because of Xia Changan's suggestion, many shops were added to the reception residence this time. It is said that these people have been dazzled by the various novelties in the shops and have long been reluctant to leave.

In fact, most of the things sold in the shops are common equipment and props on the market, and only a small part are new psychic products launched by the school. And it is precisely these new products that attract these contestants.

Among these products are lighting fixtures that can be used without spiritual power, magical stones that can record sounds, and cameras that can record what you see and hear...

Although this store is small and the decoration is low-key, it is very popular. The store is always crowded.

More customers means more money. This makes Cao Shen, the chief steward of the national treasury who has suffered from poverty, very happy.

His happiest moment of the day is when he checks the special account book for the competition. Seeing the profit amount continue to increase, he is so excited.

I have held so many Zhongzhou Region Spiritual Master Competitions, and there has never been one that has not resulted in a loss. But this time it was different. Before the competition even started, I had already made back my investment.

"Your Majesty, your approach is truly brilliant!" Cao Shen couldn't help but praise him loudly.

But Daxia Changan, who was praised so highly by Cao Shen, was very distressed at this moment. She had just received unfortunate news that as the emperor of Daxia, she had to attend this damn opening ceremony.

Oh my God! There are tens of thousands of people gathered there! Isn't this forcing her to death? Which ancestor made this rule? How can you cheat your own youngsters like this!

Xia Changan reluctantly changed into the formal dress for the ceremony, the expression on his face looked as if he was going to the execution ground.

Because he had to attend a formal occasion, the emperor's guards of honor and appearance had to be arranged. Therefore, Xia Changan had to sit in a very slow and gorgeous carriage, with a long line of guards of honor following behind him.

Kyoto was far away from the competition venue, and their speed was slowed down by the lengthy ceremonial procession, so Xia Changan had to spend most of the day in the carriage before reaching his destination.

When Xia Changan heard the attendant's reminder, she almost cried on the spot. The face-saving process was really terrible. After the opening ceremony, she must talk to the people in the Ministry of Rites. She must never do this again in the future!

"Oh! I have to suffer again. I am such a miserable emperor. Otherwise, the scene outside must be very scary. I must make preparations in advance. It is better to activate the Human Emperor Immortal Nature before going out, so as to avoid making a fool of myself as soon as I go out." Xia Changan thought helplessly.

"His Majesty has arrived!" The attendant shouted loudly as he saw Xia Chang'an get off the carriage.

Xia Changan's appearance suddenly made the opening ceremony solemn and dignified. Everyone knelt down to salute, including the contestants from other kingdoms.

Because strictly speaking, all the kingdoms in Zhongzhou are vassal states of Daxia, and their citizens naturally have to kneel and salute when they see the emperor of Daxia.

"Your Majesty!" Tens of thousands of people saluted in unison. The scene was truly grand.

But in Xia Changan's view, such a grand event made her want to turn around and leave. She was glad that she had activated the ability of the Human Emperor Immortal Nature early on, otherwise she would have lost face.

"No need to bow, just stand up!" Xia Changan used this power to transmit his majestic voice to the ears of everyone present.

This move surprised everyone kneeling on the ground. You know, when Xia Changan first appeared, his aura was already very shocking, and he immediately subdued everyone on the spot.

Many of them had not yet recovered from the overwhelming power of heaven, and were frightened pale by the words "No need to stand up".

The spiritual intimidation contained in these four short words really brought them a great shock. He is worthy of being the emperor of Daxia, and their king cannot be compared with him at all.

No, it should be said that those kings were not even worthy of carrying Xia Changan's shoes.

After just one encounter, Xia Changan's aura made these arrogant masters put away their contempt, and each of them became as well-behaved as quails.

Although they were still dissatisfied with Da Xia in their hearts, they could not say that Xia Changan was not worthy of the position of emperor.

With the arrival of Xia Changan, the opening ceremony of the Zhongzhou Region Spiritual Master Competition officially kicked off. It's no wonder that the officials of Daxia have a good aesthetic taste.

The artistic performances and speeches at the opening ceremony were well done and very enjoyable to watch. Because of the wonderful opening ceremony, Xia Changan's depressed mood finally eased a little.

At this point, she finally felt like taking a peek at the contestants from various countries.

However, the content fed back by the scanning program was very boring. These people all had a mature and steady demeanor, and basically didn't talk much. They were as quiet as chickens.

Huh? There are a few people talking here!

Xia Changan finally noticed that there was someone chatting, and quickly focused his attention on the past.

After listening carefully, Xia Changan realized that they were complaining about a scene in the performance, which was a dance showing the ancestors resisting monsters.

"The opening ceremony of Daxia is really boring. Every other ceremony has this. They are afraid that others don't know, and they think it is Daxia that drives away the monster."

"Although I also find it boring, I was indeed grateful to Daxia at that time. It is said that those ferocious monsters kill people on sight. It is really scary."

"Yes, yes. At that time, humans were almost exterminated. Those monsters were nothing. They were cruel and evil. In my opinion, the Emperor of Daxia was too kind and should have killed all the monsters."

Hearing this, even Xia Changan couldn't help but nod. She had read many books that said the same thing. Monsters are indeed not good people.
