After Senior Zou mumbled about the competition and some of its history, he turned to look at Song Ling'er and spoke, "Senior Song, are we ready to start the competition?"
"..."
However, almost as though she didn't hear him, Song Ling'er did not respond to his question, making Senior Zou repeat his words for a second time.
"Senior Song, are we ready to start the competition?"
"Eh? What did you just say?" Song Ling'er suddenly snapped out of her dazed and turned to look at Senior Zou's dumbfounded face.
"I-I said, we are ready to start the competition whenever you are ready, Senior Song."
Song Ling'er then nodded, "Yes, we can start."
Senior Zou nodded his head, and then he turned to look at the thousands of participants there and said, "Follow me to the arena where you'll perform in front of millions of people."
The participants there swallowed nervously when they heard that there were going to be millions of people.
