In an instant, a flick sent the black gong vibrating, exploding with the sound of thunder!
The wave of sound rippled out like ripples on a pond, stirring up a wild wind and spreading across the venue in the blink of an eye, silencing the crowd instantly.
"Lingnan Road Qian Yuan Divine Sect's Yunzhou Sub-sect, the sect's disciple assessment and selection."
"Begin!"
...
...
Fine rain drizzled, caressed by the spring breeze.
In front of the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, accompanied by the striking of the great black gong and the explosion of sound waves much like the raging waters of Nine Dragons River, the surrounding circle of parents and children fell silent.
Three successive gong strikes resonated, and the voice of a stunningly beautiful woman in red reached every corner, so clear despite hundreds of feet of distance.
Li Che, holding Xi Xi, took their places on the wooden platform set up to the left of the Divine Sect Mountain Gate.
