Chapter 077 The Academy Opening Ceremony Begins
The two chatted for a while separately. After the crowd got to know their personalities a little, they did not remain silent any longer. They all gathered around them, chatting with each other to get closer to each other.
After a few minutes, everyone had a basic understanding of them. Gu Jiayan is a chemistry expert who works in scientific research. Chu Yi is his sister, a handmade blogger who is also well-known in the industry.
Of course, Gu Jiayan and Chu Yi also knew something about the others. Qin Hang, Gu Jiayan's old classmate, was the son of the Qin Group in the capital. He was rich, powerful, and lucky. Shi Fan, a die-hard fan of Chu Yi, is a native of Ning'an City and the petty bourgeois proprietress of a cat cafe. Gu Qianwen and Jia Lan are popular movie stars, and everyone knows them without any introduction.
Apart from these few people who were slightly familiar to me, the rest were completely unfamiliar to me.
Tang Wenlin and Jiang Yongyan, one is silent and the other is cheerful, both come from ordinary backgrounds and were good friends before. Apart from the two of them, there are Dong Chengan, Guo Kaize, Fang Gaoyi and Zeng Ziyang. They are all military men, so not much information is known about them. Everyone only knows a name and an identity.
However, given his identity, no one dared to ask too many questions. After a friendly greeting, nothing more was said.
After getting to know each other, the atmosphere on the scene became much more harmonious and people spoke to each other more casually.
I don’t know if time was set aside for them to communicate, but after waiting for so long no one came out to make arrangements. After they got to know each other, someone soon came over and asked them to gather.
Everyone looked closely and found that it was an old acquaintance. Everyone had come into contact with him during this test.
Duan Shi stood in front, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and raised his voice to say: "Hello, elite students. I believe you all know me, so I won't say much here. I have already mentioned the reason why we are gathered here today, and now I will introduce myself."
After saying this, he cleared his throat and continued, "For the better development of society and to maximize the use of limited resources, the country, at the suggestion of His Royal Highness the Dragon King, decided to abandon the traditional master-apprentice system of ancient times and establish a cultivation academy to use modern scientific methods to cultivate cutting-edge talents."
"Then, out of care and love for the human race, the Dragon King decided to personally build this academy and make it the safest fortress in the world so that the hopes that have not yet grown up can receive the best education."
Upon hearing this, everyone applauded spontaneously to show their respect for the Dragon King.
Duan Shi did not interrupt everyone. He waited until the applause died down before continuing to arrange things. "You can come here today because the chairman has fought for everyone. Originally, Long Jun would not allow ordinary people to watch from the sidelines, but the chairman said that you will soon embark on the path of cultivation. Being able to see the Immortal King in action with your own eyes will be of great benefit to your future. So after Long Jun thought about it, today's academy opening ceremony was held."
"Senior Qiao Ji will also be here later. With the help of the seniors in the Nascent Soul stage, you will watch the Taiyi Zhenxian perform a spell. The treatment you will receive will definitely be the best in the world."
Everyone else was deeply moved by Duan Shi's words. Their approval of flower planting instantly reached its peak. They were so excited that they looked like they had been injected with chicken blood, and their faces turned red.
Chu Yi: "......"
The government is worthy of being the government. Its methods of publicity and packaging are much more powerful than those of any star-making factory. The flower-growing citizens already have a high level of recognition of their country, and now that they are being treated so well, these geniuses will probably be loyal to the government, if not blindly following its lead.
Although he felt a little speechless, Chu Yi still didn't intend to interfere in such matters. What she seeks is the evolution of the world and humanity as a whole. How countries deal with these issues is their own business.
After giving a few brief speeches to arouse everyone's emotions, Duan Shi asked everyone to wait here for a while. Then he raised his wrist to call up the virtual screen, clicked on it a few times, and after operating it, he said to everyone: "Okay, Long Jun will be here soon, and the media reporters and guests are also starting to enter. You should use the last bit of time to go to the toilet or tidy up your clothes. This will be a global live broadcast later, so don't be rude in your manners."
After receiving the reminder, everyone took action, assisted each other, and carefully checked each other's manners and dress. They don't want to mess up their debut and be laughed at by people from other countries.
For a moment, the atmosphere here became tense again. Everyone's faces were twitching with nervousness, and their body movements were extremely stiff.
This would not work. People are prone to making mistakes when they are nervous. Chu Yi did not want any flaws in this carefully prepared show. So she tilted her head to think about it, and spoke to break the tense atmosphere.
"Team Leader Duan, have we also invited people with special abilities from abroad to the opening ceremony?"
Hearing her question, Duan Shi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Did His Majesty Long Jun tell you?"
"No, I just guessed it myself." Chu Yi quickly waved his hand, indicating that his master had never said this. "After all, they are very popular these days, so I wondered if they would come over to have a discussion."
The amount of information hidden in a short conversation is too huge. Chu Yi was just gossiping, but Duan Shi actually mentioned Long Jun. Now, even a fool would know that Chu Yi and Long Jun have a special relationship.
Realizing the extraordinaryness of it, everyone's eyes widened instantly, and they couldn't help but focus their attention on Chu Yi, wanting to figure out how this girl with an ordinary background could be related to Long Jun.
Even a few silent soldiers who didn't join in the conversation couldn't help but look over with curious eyes.
As soon as Duan Shi saw this, he knew that the brother and sister had not revealed their identities, but he could also understand that if he explained such things, it would inevitably seem like he was showing off, which would not be conducive to their interactions.
However, the fact that they are the direct disciples of Lord Long cannot be concealed, and it will even be announced in front of people all over the world.
So after looking at other people's reactions, Duan Shi looked at Gu Jiayan and Chu Yi and asked if he could announce this to their classmates now.
Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan of course didn't care and nodded in agreement at the same time.
Just as Duan Shi thought, if they said this out loud themselves, it would seem arrogant, which is not in line with the humble and restrained national character of the flower-growing people.
After obtaining the consent of the parties involved, Duan Shi decisively introduced them to everyone: "Gu Jiayan and Chu Yi have been accepted as personal disciples by His Majesty Long Jun because of their outstanding talents. However, from now on, apart from His Majesty Long Jun's teachings, they will still attend classes with everyone else."
Everyone: "..."
They guessed that the backgrounds of these two people were not simple, but they never expected it to be so complicated.
It's simply a position second only to one person and above everyone else.
Shocked by this background, all the students looked at each other and did not dare to speak for a moment. It was Qin Hang's congratulations that dispelled everyone's restraint.
"Not bad, old classmate. I won't be polite when you ask me questions about cultivation in the future."
This sentence brought the two closer together again without seeming rude.
Gu Jiayan smiled upon hearing this and replied gently: "You are welcome anytime."
After noticing Gu Jiayan's attitude, everyone finally put their minds at ease, and the looks they gave him and Chu Yi regained their previous intimacy. It would be more accurate to say that after learning about their identities, his eyes became even more intimate than before.
These are the direct disciples acknowledged by the Dragon King. After the announcement, the two of them will probably become the most envied people in the entire Blue Star. It can be said that they are lucky to be classmates.
However, everyone can also tell from their unrevealed attitude that they don't want to show off their identity, so just treat them as ordinary classmates. Being too attentive will have the opposite effect.
Therefore, after the initial shock, everyone's attitude, at least on the surface, no longer seemed special.
As for Shi Fan, who had a fan filter, he was only surprised for a few minutes after hearing this shocking news, and then accepted it as a matter of course. After all, in her eyes, it was natural for her all-around wife to have top-notch talent, and being chosen as a disciple by Lord Long was icing on the cake.
After this little episode, the tense atmosphere just now certainly no longer existed. As for what Chu Yi mentioned about the participation of foreign people with special abilities, Duan Shi did not give her a clear answer, but just told everyone that they would know soon.
A few seconds after the words fell, Qiao Ji arrived.
She came to pick up these elite students following the instructions of Lord Long. Besides herself, Liu Jimeng was also standing on her cloud chariot, and no one knew what he had been doing before. However, judging from the fact that she came here with Qiao Ji, she is indeed a student in the elite class of the Cultivation Academy.
Today's academy inauguration ceremony is quite special. Since the Dragon King needs to transform the entire Taishan area, the audience standing on the ground cannot see anything, so all the participants today are watching from the air.
The students in the elite class have their own government care, and with the Dragon Lord’s disciples around, there’s no need to worry too much. Of course, others did not have this treatment and could only watch it on the plane.
The interview can only be conducted later, and Long Jun will not participate. The only people who will participate in the media interview are the students, not even Qiao Ji.
Due to the dignity of the monks, no one dared to force them. Fortunately, with Gu Jiayan, Chu Yi, and this group of brilliant talents, the shark-like media reporters could also be satisfied.
Qiao Ji lowered the cloud carriage and nodded to Duan Shi. Without saying anything more, she waved her hand and wrapped all the students in the cloud carriage under her feet, and reminded them lightly: "Pay attention to balance."
After receiving her reminder, the crowd, who were already alert, focused even more. They all tried to stabilize their lower body secretly and did not make a fool of themselves when they first took off.
Everyone knew that the invisible battle had begun at this moment.
