Although this was not his first time here, standing below the stage and standing on it were completely different experiences.
This was the holy ground of the international Physics community.
In half an hour, he would face scrutiny from the world's foremost Physics scholars.

Luo Wenxuan smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
"I'll be thanking the heavens if I don't mess it up."
"Since Professor Lu chose to entrust this presentation to you, that means he believes you can handle it. If I were you, I wouldn't be this nervous at all. Just treat it like an ordinary presentation."
