chamber gradually grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really is Lin Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… how is he sitting in the main seat next to Chairman Yan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t today supposed to be the election for the new chairman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One member lowered his voice, his face filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo may be impressive, but how old is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A first-year freshman, becoming our Youth Association’s chairman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does he even have the qualifications?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone beside him immediately rebutted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He single-handedly killed one hundred and forty prodigies—his record speaks for itself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With that record, why can’t he be chairman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The member who had questioned earlier snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talent and potential are one thing; actual combat power is another!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Youth Association’s chairman has never been chosen based on talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s only about who has the strongest fists!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the front row where the senior Youth Association officials had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The chairman’s appointment requires approval by a vote of all senior officials and council members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as one person objects and votes no,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“you can’t just take office directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s only one way: make everyone accept you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The member continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at our Youth Association’s senior officials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Chen from East China, Fang Wen from North China, Chen Feng from South China…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which one isn’t a top-level expert over level 60?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think these top-level experts would willingly let a level-40 newcomer ride over their heads?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone around fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo could slaughter his way through the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield because it was a beginner-level battlefield, filled mostly with newly transmigrated players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he’d be facing seasoned veterans, battle-hardened for years, all of whom wield high-grade skills—the core young combatants of Dragon Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>several young female members whispered among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be fair, Lin Mo is seriously good-looking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another girl, hearing this, agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I used to think Chairman Yan was handsome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now that Lin Mo’s sitting there, Chairman Yan looks completely overshadowed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, no comparison means no hurt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl beside her nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the male members nearby were visibly exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, hey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the Mage Association a place where looks matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re talking about strength here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Superficial!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female member rolled her eyes at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what if he’s strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He wiped out a seven-nation alliance—isn’t that strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good-looking and strong—you’re just jealous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male member was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only shut his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sulked, staring toward the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Wen had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His broad, muscular frame stood out sharply in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Peng walked behind him, chest puffed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the man ahead of him weren’t his cousin, but himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Han kept his head down, looking uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Wen immediately spotted Lu Chen sitting in the front row and walked over, plopping himself into the empty seat beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Peng and Zhang Han followed, taking the seats directly behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chen turned to look at Fang Wen, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was my inside info accurate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Wen’s face remained expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I guess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and warned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’ll remind you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you fight, watch your limits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t go too hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo is Dragon Nation’s future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you seriously injure him, I doubt you’ll even need Nie Lao to act—Feng Lao will peel your skin off first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Chen’s warning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Wen snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think I need reminding?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I seem like someone who doesn’t know his own strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Wen turned his gaze toward Lin Mo, his tone growing more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo took down that group of foreigners single-handedly and brought honor to Dragon Nation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a real man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I admire him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Wen paused, then shifted tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One thing at a time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how high his talent or how great his achievements,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“if he wants to ride over my head as Youth Association chairman,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Wen sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’ll have to prove it with real skill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Fang Wen’s reply,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chen burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just make sure you know your own limits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chen leaned back in his chair, looking ready to enjoy the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhao Peng also leaned close to Zhang Han’s ear, beaming with smug triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you hear that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo is definitely going to lose face big time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Peng sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Yan Lie is just too proud to admit defeat, lowering his own status.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My cousin won’t coddle him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Youth Association, not the Junior International Arena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be blunt, in the Junior International Arena, even my cousin could take on the entire arena alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Zhao Peng’s endless nonsense,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Han couldn’t help but frown, a flicker of revulsion crossing her eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply couldn’t stand this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one thinks you’re mute if you don’t speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Han said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Peng froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I say something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Han didn’t look at him; her gaze remained fixed on Lin Mo at the main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Lin Mo is certainly not as simple as you think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you think of something Chairman Yan Lie hasn’t already considered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Yan Lie is upright and honorable—do you really believe he’d deliberately humiliate Lin Mo just because he lost to him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Han’s retort,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Peng first blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his face flushed red as he retorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Yan Lie is the Youth Association’s chairman—he lost to a freshman in front of everyone at Jingda!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were you, would you be okay with it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were me, I couldn’t swallow this humiliation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhao Peng’s confident rebuttal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Han looked at him as if he were a clown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think Chairman Yan Lie is like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Han’s tone dripped with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You judge a gentleman by the standards of a petty man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Yan Lie once single-handedly crushed the entire Youth Association Council—not through scheming, but through sheer, undeniable strength and integrity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think everyone is like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Full of jealousy, calculation, and underhanded tricks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Han’s merciless scolding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Peng’s face turned crimson; he stuck out his neck and stubbornly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How am I being petty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just making reasonable assumptions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all young—doesn’t anyone have pride? Doesn’t anyone care about face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Han was utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head and fixed her gaze on Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She completely ignored Zhao Peng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, seeing Chairman Lin Mo made her feel at ease again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie saw that nearly all seats were filled, and all senior members and councilors had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he picked up the microphone on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quiet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yan Lie’s voice fell,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the noisy hall instantly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to Yan Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie looked at the crowd and spoke slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve called you all here today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only for one thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is, to elect a new Youth Association chairman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although many had already heard rumors,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when Yan Lie said it aloud, a faint stir rippled through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie ignored the murmurs and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The reason is simple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel my strength no longer qualifies me to remain in the position of Youth Association chairman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie spoke with complete candor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have decided to step down, and I nominate Lin Mo to succeed me as chairman of the Dragon Nation Youth Mage Association.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Yan Lie gestured toward Lin Mo beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to Youth Association rules,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the appointment of a new chairman requires a vote by all senior members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“let’s begin voting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is in favor?
