Chapter 313: Yan Lie Steps Down? Lin Mo Becomes President?

Dragon Nation Mage Association Headquarters.

Inside a spacious conference room in the Youth Association Building.

Smoke hung in the air.

More than a dozen people sat around the conference table.

These people all looked very young.

But their levels were all above 60.

They were the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Nation Mage Youth Association: heads of various regions and councilors.

At this moment.

The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat quiet.

A young man with a crew cut sat with his legs on the table, a cigarette in his mouth, lazily blowing smoke rings.

His name was Lu Chen.

Councilor of the East China Region.

On the other side, a young man in black clothes lowered his head, playing with a dagger that flashed with cold light.

Chen Feng, Councilor of the South China Region.

Just then.

The heavy door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

A burly young man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked in.

He wore a black tank top.

His exposed arms were knotted with muscle, filled with explosive power.

"Yo?"

"Isn't this our Fang Wen, the great Councilor Fang?"

"What's up?"

"Starting to act like a big shot now?"

Lu Chen blew out a smoke ring and teased.

He flicked the ash from his cigarette.

"So many region heads and councilors are sitting here, waiting dryly just for you?"

"You're putting on quite a show."

Facing Lu Chen's teasing.

Fang Wen pretended to look fierce and cursed.

"Get lost."

He then walked to the conference table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"I just crawled out of a Team Fuben, didn't even have time for a sip of water, and rushed here."

"What?"

"You have a problem just because I'm a little late, Lu Chen?"

"If you have a problem, keep it to yourself!"

Hearing Fang Wen's words.

The others in the conference room also started laughing.

They were all high-ranking officials of the Youth Association.

Their strength was similar, and their relationship was usually quite good.

Jokes of this level were long since taken for granted.

Fang Wen looked at Lu Chen, his expression turning serious.

"Enough."

"Stop the nonsense."

"Let's talk business."

Fang Wen glanced around at everyone in the conference room.

"Why did you call so many people here? If you don't say something major, don't blame me for twisting your head off."

Upon hearing these words.

Everyone's gaze focused on Lu Chen.

This time, it was Lu Chen who had gathered everyone.

Lu Chen looked at the gazes directed at him and crushed out his cigarette butt.

"Alright, since everyone is here, I'll just say it straight."

His gaze swept over every person.

"Yan Lie is stepping down."

As the words fell.

Everyone froze for a moment.

That tough guy, the madman Yan Lie, is stepping down?!

What's going on?

After several seconds.

Fang Wen finally came to his senses and said:

"Yan Lie stepping down? He's at the peak of his power right now; what position is he stepping down from?"

"Lu Chen, is this news of yours reliable?"

Lu Chen rolled his eyes.

"Ridiculous."

"When has Lu Chen ever spread false news?"

Lu Chen leaned back in his chair and spread his hands.

"It is absolutely true."

"Yan Lie has officially submitted his resignation to the higher-ups, stepping down as President of the Green Association to take the position of Vice President."

"Moreover, the higher-ups have already approved it."

Hearing this confirmation.

The conference room fell silent once more.

If it is true.

That would indeed count as a major event!

Fang Wen's eyes grew somewhat fervent.

Since Yan Lie is stepping down.

Then according to the Green Association's rules, the new President must be chosen from among us councilors.

The strong are respected!

Whoever has the harder fists will sit in that chair!

Fang Wen cracked his knuckles.

"Since Yan Lie is quitting."

"Then the President's position must be re-elected."

Fang Wen lifted his chin and scanned the crowd.

"I'll say the ugly truth first."

"Everyone here is an old acquaintance; everyone knows their own weight."

"No matter who among you wants to take this President's seat today."

"I, Fang Wen."

"Will be the first to object."

Fang Wen's voice rang out with weight.

"Want to be President?"

"Go to the martial arts field first and knock me down before you say anything else!"

Fang Wen's words were full of provocation.

But they were also the truest reflection of the Green Association.

Here.

There is no seniority; only might makes right.

Just as Fang Wen was ready to accept challenges from other Green Association high officials.

Lu Chen shook his head.

He sighed.

"Fang Wen."

"Don't get excited yet."

Lu Chen looked at Fang Wen with a somewhat strange tone.

"This President's position."

"Is not being passed down to any of us here."

Hearing these words.

Fang Wen was stunned for a moment.

Not to anyone here?

Then to whom?

The strongest in the Green Association are all here, right?

Could there be a sweeping monk?

At this moment.

Chen Feng, sitting on the other side, couldn't help but ask:

"Stop playing games, who did you learn from? Damn it, just say it!"

Upon hearing this.

Lu Chen didn't mind and laughed heartily:

"Alright, alright, you guys are truly impatient monkeys."

"It's Lin Mo."

"Lin Mo?"

"Which Lin Mo?"

Fang Wen frowned and asked instinctively.

Lu Chen rolled his eyes.

"Which other Lin Mo?"

"The Lin Mo who made a huge scene yesterday in the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield."

"It's Lin Mo, the class monitor of this year's Long Xu Ban at Jingda."

"..."

"Holy crap!"

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

"Is it him?"

Fang Wen frowned tightly.

Lu Chen nodded solemnly.

"Yes."

"The reason Yan Lie stepped down was to make way for him."

"This afternoon, Yan Lie personally went to Tianshui City's high-speed rail station to pick him up. I estimate by now, he is already on his way to headquarters."

At this moment.

The conference room fell into silence.

This news was indeed explosive.

A newcomer who had just changed professions less than a month ago, a freshman, coming to be the president of the Mage Association?

It was too incredible!

"Hmph."

Fang Wen fell silent for half a minute, then let out a cold snort.

"Lin Mo single-handedly annihilated the Seven-Nation Alliance and brought back over a hundred legendary exclusive weapons. That record is indeed strong; I admit it."

"Lin Mo's talent, even placed in the history of the Blue Star, is an unprecedented existence; I admit that too."

"But..."

Fang Wen glanced at everyone.

"This is the Mage Association of the Dragon Kingdom, not some school."

"Here, what matters is strength, not some damn potential."

"Whoever has the bigger fist becomes the president."

"Everyone here is level 60 or above. No matter how strong Lin Mo is, he definitely isn't even level 50 yet, right?"

"On what basis does he stand above all of us to become this president?"

After Fang Wen finished speaking.

Chen Feng, sitting on the other side, frowned slightly.

"You can't say it like that."

"The fact that Lin Mo annihilated the Seven-Nation Alliance single-handedly proves there is a very high possibility he has mastered high-tier skills."

"Perhaps even more than one."

Hearing Chen Feng's rebuttal.

Fang Wen sneered.

"So what?"

"High-tier skills?"

"Does anyone here not know high-tier skills?"

"Don't you know them, Chen Feng? Or don't you, Lu Chen?"

Fang Wen glanced at the two of them and continued:

"To put it plainly."

"Lin Mo comprehending high-tier skills at this level is indeed an invincible talent."

"But precisely because of this, he was able to slaughter his way through the Primary World War Battlefield."

"After all, the Primary World War Battlefield was just a bunch of noobs who only knew mid-tier skills."

"Lin Mo, who knows high-tier skills, facing this bunch of noobs—wasn't that just dimensional suppression?"

"But here, in the Mage Association."

"Everyone here knows high-tier skills. Under this premise, with a 20-level gap causing attribute suppression, on what basis can Lin Mo still slaughter his way through?"
