Chapter 312: You Won

Facing Yan Lie's flattery.

Lin Mo merely waved his hand casually.

"Ah, just lucky."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lie rolled his eyes.

"Come on, you."

"If I hadn't fought you two days ago, I might've actually believed your bullshit."

"Lucky?"

Yan Lie spoke with a grumble.

"Kid, stop pretending to be humble."

"You, who challenged and defeated every single council member right after joining the Youth Association, couldn't even beat your own pet—now you tell me that's luck?"

As his words fell silent.

Zhang Han was now utterly numb.

???

No way!

Even Chairman Yan Lie couldn't beat Lin Mo?

No!

Even Lin Mo's pet couldn't be beaten?

Zhang Han felt her worldview crumbling.

You know.

Chairman Yan Lie's current level is a staggering 65!

Nearly twenty levels higher than Lin Mo!

No matter how you look at it, he shouldn't be able to lose!

What kind of monster is Lin Mo reincarnated as?!

Facing Yan Lie's complaints.

Lin Mo cleared his throat lightly.

"Um…"

"It's just because you suppressed your stats on the arena."

"Not using your full power is normal."

Upon hearing this.

Yan Lie sneered.

"Bullshit!"

"At the final moment, I realized something was off and removed all stat suppression debuffs."

"I fought with my full 65-level stats."

"And still got one-shot!"

Yan Lie grew more frustrated as he spoke.

"Your damage was just insane."

"How the hell did you achieve such mastery over elements?"

Listening to Yan Lie's words.

Lin Mo rubbed his nose, his tone sincere.

"Haha."

"Don't be too discouraged."

"Look."

Lin Mo began to comfort him.

"You're not the only one who lost."

"In the Ten Nations Battlefield, the seven-nation alliance's 140 fighters, fully armed with legendary specialized weapons—"

"Didn't they lose too?"

Lin Mo patted Yan Lie on the shoulder.

"So."

"You're actually pretty strong."

"Really."

"..."

Yan Lie stared at Lin Mo's serious expression, his mouth twitching.

Although what Lin Mo said was indeed true.

But for some reason, it sounded so irritating?

Beside them, Zhang Han had buried her head deep into her chest.

She dared not lift it.

She dared not laugh.

She feared that if she let out even a single giggle, Chairman Yan would throw her straight out the car window.

The car drove smoothly along the road.

Yan Lie pulled out a cigarette.

But after glancing inside the car, he silently slipped it back.

"Lin Mo."

Yan Lie's expression turned serious.

"Let's get to the point."

"This time, you've come to Tian Shui City to report in."

"Actually, I want you to take over as chairman of the Youth Association."

At these words.

Lin Mo showed no reaction.

Beside him, Zhang Han lifted his head again in shock.

Take over as chairman?!

Holy shit!

Lin Mo's only level 46—he's already taking over as Youth Association chairman?

Remember, Chairman Yan Lie was already the lowest-level Youth Association chairman in history…

Lin Mo's just dropped that record another notch!

Lin Mo, sitting beside him, shook his head.

"No."

Lin Mo refused outright.

"Being chairman is too much trouble."

"I'm busy all day—how could I possibly handle the Association's nonsense?"

Hearing Lin Mo's blunt refusal,

Yan Lie wasn't surprised at all.

He clearly had prepared for this.

"Lin Mo, in our Mage Association—especially the Youth Association—"

"there's always been only one rule."

"The capable are teachers; the strong are honored."

"I became chairman because I was the strongest in my generation."

"But now."

Yan Lie spoke frankly.

"Your strength far surpasses mine."

"Even I, your chairman, was defeated by you."

"If I don't step down, even if others say nothing, I myself couldn't accept it."

Yan Lie turned to look at Lin Mo and said seriously,

"I cannot accept someone vastly stronger than me being subordinate to me in the Association."

"That would be an insult to both of us."

Hearing Yan Lie's words,

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

He wasn't being petty.

He truly feared the trouble.

"What exactly does the Youth Association do?"

Lin Mo asked.

"If I have to attend meetings and handle paperwork every day, I'd rather quit."

Hearing Lin Mo's tone soften,

Yan Lie quickly explained.

"Don't worry!"

"It won't be troublesome at all!"

Yan Lie patted his chest in assurance.

"Our Youth Association mainly handles welfare and subsidies for all young mages in Long Country."

"Once you pass the Youth Association's membership test, you receive a generous resource subsidy each month based on your level."

"As for daily affairs…"

Yan Lie smiled.

"Most of the messy tasks are handled by regional councilors and vice chairmen."

"The chairman…"

"In short, is just a spiritual leader."

"The face of all young mages in Long Country!"

"So the chairman is usually the most idle person in the entire Association—you don't need to manage anything!"

Speaking of which.

Yan Lie sighed.

"Making you chairman is actually hard on me."

"If you become chairman, I'll step down to vice chairman—and then I'll have to handle all that nonsense."

Hearing Yan Lie's explanation.

Lin Mo leaned back against the chair.

Don't have to handle affairs?

If that's the case.

Holding an empty title, it doesn't really matter.

After all, who would complain about having too few titles?

It's just hanging a name on the wall anyway.

Thinking of this.

Lin Mo looked at Yan Lie.

"From what you're saying."

"As long as I become the president, I can freeload on the association's resources every day, and don't even have to work?"

Yan Lie's mouth twitched.

That's what it means, yes.

But you put it way too bluntly!

"Ahem…"

Yan Lie dry-coughed twice.

"You can understand it that way."

Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then asked again:

"I heard."

"When you first became president, you beat up every single director, one by one?"

"If that's the case."

"I have to go through this process too?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question.

Yan Lie awkwardly rubbed his nose.

"Well, about that…"

"Yes."

Yan Lie explained.

"Those directors, frankly speaking, are all top-tier prodigies from their respective regions."

"We're all young people, our temperaments are extremely proud."

"If you don't beat them into submission, they won't acknowledge you as president."

Saying this.

Yan Lie added a sentence, emphasizing.

"However, Lin Mo."

"I need to correct something."

"When I challenged all the directors back then, that was a wheel battle, and I stopped at just touching — point, no more."

"It's nothing like how you single-handedly took on the Seven Nation Coalition yesterday at the Myriad Nations Battlefield!"

Yan Lie was genuinely afraid.

He was afraid Lin Mo would arrive at the association and immediately activate high-tier skill barrage mode, wiping out all the directors in one go.

That would be a freaking disaster.

"You need to show mercy — just beat them into submission will do!"

Looking at Yan Lie's nervous appearance.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"Do I look like someone without a sense of proportion?"

"When you fought me back then, aren't you bouncing around perfectly fine now?"

Hearing this.

Yan Lie's mouth twitched again.

Alright, alright, so that's how we're chatting, huh?

The commercial vehicle continued speeding through the streets of Tianshui City, heading toward the direction of the Dragon Nation Mage Association building.
