Loud chatter echoed across the grand coliseum, rolling like thunder from every corner.
The excitement was palpable.
Everyone, from commoners to nobles, from martial artists to scholars, was talking about a single event.
The open lecture, hosted by Jun Wu.
Almost all the powerful forces in the Soaring Cloud Region had gathered today.
It was a spectacle without precedent.
Over the centuries, the land had seen countless famous figures, masters who left their names etched into history, and scholars who advanced knowledge by leaps and bounds.
Yet, despite their prestige, none of them had ever gathered hundreds of thousands of people for the simple act of listening to them speak.
Today, Jun Wu would be the first.
In the VIP section of the coliseum, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
The Vice Dean of the Mystic Path Academy sat quietly, his sharp gaze fixed on the stage below.
