"Greetings, Vice Director, Mountain Masters."
Around the Purple Stone Arena, everyone bowed in unison, their expressions deeply reverent.
Nie Qinglan slowly nodded and gave a slight raise of her hand. A gentle force emanated from her palm, spreading outward to help everyone to their feet. Her presence was as profound as an abyss, her composure absolute. Her blazing eyes, like twin flames, swept across the crowd, and very few dared to meet her gaze.
"The Four Mountains Martial Arts Gathering is about to begin. I hope the students of every mountain will treat this competition with the gravity it deserves, give it your all, and perform at your peak to bolster the prestige of our Qig Mountain Academy. Do not be timid or hesitant, losing your composure. You must not disappoint the Stewards, your senior brothers, and the Director!" Nie Qinglan said with a nod.
