Even the usually composed Bai Bing and Stone Monkey had faces filled with excitement and pride!
Yue Xiaofei gazed at the grand spectacle before him, a thousand emotions surging through his heart.
He was not someone who enjoyed the spotlight, but surrounded by this ocean of glory, he could feel the hot blood in his chest blazing beyond his control!

God of War Shanhe Zhao Mengsheng, Azure Dragon God of War Xiao Tian Ce, Elder Xu Anbang, and Zhang Beihai-powerful figures whose slightest move could shake the Dragon Kingdom-all stood around him like stars surrounding the moon.
If word of this scene got out, jaws would probably drop all over the world.

It was utterly unbelievable!
Yet today, it had truly happened.

All the dignitaries were in position, and the host had already taken the stage, yet the victory ceremony still had not formally begun.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for something.
Curious himself, Yue Xiaofei quietly asked Zhao Mengsheng beside him, "Uncle Zhao, what's going on? Is someone still not here? Who gets to keep everyone waiting like this?"
Just how important did someone have to be to make all these powerful figures wait?
A mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Mengsheng's face.
He lowered his voice and said into Yue Xiaofei's ear, "Don't rush.
