"Everyone, please take your seats. The Elixir Competition is about to begin, and I ask that you all remain quiet," Lei Ming turned from the judges' platform, faced everyone, and with his hands raised slightly, signaled for the crowd to quiet down.
His voice wasn't loud, yet it carried into everyone's ears through Spiritual Power. The crowd was startled and, as though by agreement, sat down, unable to contain the excitement on their faces.
"Very good, I am satisfied with your behavior. I hope that the upcoming Elixir Competition will also bring joy to your minds and bodies," Lei Ming nodded, looking at the crowd with a satisfied expression.
As Lei Ming took his seat, the venue fell silent. The host stepped onto the stage, and the eager faces of the crowd clenched their fists with excitement. It was almost time; it was about to start.
