My New Year's Eve Gala Performance Shocked the World

"I was going to sing a song for everyone, but after thinking it over, I decided to perform a traditional cultural act instead!"

"I'll be performing the basic Lianshan Yi technique: Summon the Heavenly Dragon..."

At the school's New Year's Eve gala, Ye Rui strode onto the stage.

The audience burst into laughter. "Huh? Summon the Heavenly Dragon? Is this guy drunk or something?"

"Open Heaven's Gate, connect to Earth's portal, let the Heavenly Dragon pay homage!"

The laughter had barely begun when Ye Rui gave a soft shout. In an instant, a giant dragon burst through the sky.

Everyone fell silent. "A holographic projection? That's incredibly realistic!"

"Roar!"

Then the dragon roared, its voice like thunder and its sound waves surging like a tide.

The whole sports field erupted. "Holy crap, a real dragon... Is this what they call a traditional cultural performance?"

The internet went wild. "Report this guy! He's using traditional culture as a cover to perform magic! But still, I'm begging on my knees for more!"

The world was stunned. "People from Xia Country are cheating! We're busting our guts to develop science, while they're messing around with divine arts. How are we supposed to compete?"
