Chapter 322: What Did Second Brother Just Say!

'Earth Shield Technique' looked at 'Wind Blade Technique', its gaze deep.

In 'Wind Blade Technique's' eyes, a light of admiration ignited.

【"Wow..."】

【"Second Brother is so amazing!"】

【"Little Wind doesn't understand..."】

Upon hearing this, 'Earth Shield Technique' snorted coldly.

【"Fool!"】

【"What Second Brother wants to tell you is that the confusion you feel now, Second Brother has experienced it all."】

【"As long as you work hard."】

【"What should be yours, will be yours."】

【"Second Brother, and Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Sister."】

【"We old folks all came through it this way."】

'Wind Blade Technique's' gaze became firm.

It nodded heavily.

【"Little Wind has remembered!"】

【"Little Wind will definitely work hard!"】

【"What should be yours, will be yours!"】

Lin Mo listened to the conversation within the skill bar.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Good heavens.

This Xiao Tu.

Has he now learned to PUA himself?

This skill at painting a pie in the sky.

This level of brewing chicken soup for the soul.

This tone of seniority-based hierarchy.

Who did he learn it from?

Yan Lie watched row after row of green lights light up, a slight smile rising on his lips.

"Good."

He spoke slowly into the microphone.

"Then I announce."

"Regarding Lin Mo's appointment as President of the Youth Association of the Dragon Country Mage Association."

"All senior executives and board members."

"Unanimously approved."

Yan Lie stood up, his voice loud and clear.

"From today on."

"Lin Mo is the... President of our Dragon Country Mage Association Youth Association!"

The words fell.

The entire hall erupted.

"President Lin Mo!!!"

"President Lin Mo!"

"President Lin Mo!"

"President Lin Mo!"

Roars like a mountain call and sea tide instantly filled the entire conference hall.

The voices were filled with the blood and passion of the young.

"President Lin Mo is awesome!"

"President Lin Mo is absolutely the strongest President in the history of our Youth Association!"

The senior executives in the front row also stood up one by one.

Lu Chen sighed with emotion.

"Damn it."

"I, Lu Chen, have never bowed to many people in my life."

"Yan Lie counts as one."

"Now there is one more."

Chen Feng shook his head.

"I have to say."

"Eighteen years old, level forty-six, four-element Archmage, Youth Association President."

"This resume, any single item pulled out, is enough for a person to brag about for a lifetime."

"And yet, damn it, they are all concentrated in one person."

Lin Mo stood in the center of the field.

Listening to the roaring, tsunami-like cheers from the surrounding crowd.

He raised his hand and pressed it down gently.

Instantly, the entire council chamber fell silent.

Lin Mo turned and walked back to the main seat, stopping beside Yan Lie.

Yan Lie looked at Lin Mo.

"President Lin."

"Is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"

Lin Mo plopped down into the seat and waved his hand.

"Nothing. Let everyone disperse."

"I have important matters to attend to."

Hearing this, Yan Lie paused for a moment.

Then, he smiled helplessly.

"Alright, everyone, disperse."

Fang Wen slowly stood up.

After the treatment, his wounds had basically healed.

He walked over to Lu Chen and Chen Feng's side.

"Let's go."

Lu Chen patted his shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

Fang Wen rolled his eyes at him.

"I'm not dying."

"It's just a bit embarrassing."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Embarrassing about what?"

"Did you see it? Was there a single person laughing in the entire hall?"

Chen Feng added as well:

"Embarrassing? Everyone knows your strength, Fang Wen."

"Lin Mo is just too damn strong."

"Anyone else stepping up would have the same result."

People left one after another.

Quickly.

In the vast council chamber, only Yan Lie and Lin Mo remained.

Lin Mo leaned back in his chair and stretched his neck.

"Finally some peace and quiet."

Yan Lie chuckled softly.

"How is it? The feeling of being president?"

Lin Mo waved his hand.

"What feeling could there be?"

"It's just a title, isn't it?"

Yan Lie raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"Just a title?"

Lin Mo turned his head and looked at Yan Lie.

"Speaking of which."

"By the way."

"What resources does the Youth Association have? Show them to me."

Hearing this, Yan Lie laughed.

"You can just check yourself; it's all in the Youth Association app."

"Is that so?"

Lin Mo took out his phone and opened the Youth Association app.

This app was also downloaded for him by Yan Lie just now when he came to this council chamber.

Lin Mo flipped through it casually.

They were mostly materials, skill books, and equipment.

These were indeed good things, but for himself, it seemed he wouldn't need any of them?

After all, to put it bluntly, anything that can be bought with money is not a problem.

Yan Lie watched Lin Mo's expression.

"These..."

"They are resources allocated by the higher-ups; I think you probably won't need them."

Lin Mo nodded.

"Indeed."

"Whatever can be bought on the market, I don't really lack."

Yan Lie laughed, then shifted the topic.

"The truly good stuff isn't here."

"Then where is it?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued.

Yan Lie looked at Lin Mo and said:

"Didn't Feng Lao mention it to you before?"

"The Association isn't just a place that hands out benefits."

"It's more of a circle."

"The truly good stuff is all obtained through exchange."

"Or rather, through favors and social ties."

Lin Mo listened and nodded as well.

Indeed.

True top-tier resources would never circulate on the market.

They would only be traded among small circles.

Or given as gifts in social exchanges.

"Speaking of which."

Yan Lie's lips curved slightly upward. "Just yesterday someone gave me something good, and I felt you might need it."

"What good stuff?"

Lin Mo asked instinctively.

Yan Lie smiled:

"You should have learned a new wind-element skill, right?"

Hearing this.

Lin Mo immediately caught on.

"A wind element shard?"

"That's right."

Yan Lie nodded.

Immediately after, he flipped his hand.

A shard radiating a cyan glow appeared in his palm.

Light flowed across it.

The surrounding air stirred slightly at the appearance of that glow.

Lin Mo's pupils contracted a little.

Holy shit!

This was exactly what he was missing!

In the skill panel.

'Earth Shield Technique' suddenly looked at 'Wind Blade Technique'.

【"Fifth Bro!"】

【"Did you see that!!!"】

【"What did Second Bro just say!!!"】

'Wind Blade Technique' stared dumbly at that cyan shard.

From that glow, it felt a longing rising from its very instinct.

【"Second Bro…"】

【"Second Bro!"】

【"Little Wind will definitely work hard! I definitely won't let down Second Bro and Master's expectations!"】

……

Lin Mo looked at the wind element shard in Yan Lie's hand and asked curiously:

"Don't you need it?"

"If I remember correctly, you're wind and fire dual-system, right?"

"This wind element shard should be very important to you too."

Yan Lie heard that and smiled, shaking his head.

"True."

"I do indeed need this shard."

"However…"

"I heard from Feng Lao that every time you absorb an element shard, it's a perfect absorption."

"If I were to use it, I wouldn't have the confidence to pull off a perfect absorption on the first try—I'd most likely just waste it."

"So I thought it over, and giving it to you is the most suitable."

Lin Mo fell silent for a moment upon hearing that.

"Then what do you need? Shall I trade you for it?"

His tone was very serious.

Lin Mo did not like receiving unearned favors.

A fair exchange was the way to last.

Yan Lie looked at Lin Mo's serious expression and laughed, waving his hand:

"I don't really need anything for now. Just owe me one."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"You sure?"

Yan Lie laughed.

"Sure."

"Long Xu Ban class monitor, Town Guardian Dragon Envoy, Dragon Nation Major General, president of the Dragon Nation Mages Association Youth Chapter, son of War God Lin Tianhao…"

"That favor is worth it."

"…"

Listening to Yan Lie rattle off a long string of titles.

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

After two seconds of silence, Lin Mo reached out and took the wind element shard, smiling:

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Thanks."

Just then.

Yan Lie's phone buzzed.

He pulled out his phone and glanced at it.

Then he looked at Lin Mo again.

"Alright, Lin Mo, Feng is here."

"Didn't you say you wanted to forge a Forbidden-grade exclusive weapon? Feng said he'll personally escort you there."

Hearing this.

Lin Mo frowned.

"Escort?"

"There's no need for that, is there?"

"It's just forging an exclusive weapon, not going to war."

Yan Lie shook his head, his expression grave.

"There is a need."

He looked at Lin Mo.

"Your performance on the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield was too stunning. The Adams family over there very likely has some moves in mind."

Yan Lie's gaze sharpened.

"Although some time ago, the Heavenly Pivot Prefecture stepped in and cleared out a lot of the spies lurking within Dragon Nation's borders,"

"still, no one can say for certain whether there are any that slipped through the net."

"Not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the one in ten thousand."

"Your safety cannot afford the slightest mishap."

Yan Lie stared at Lin Mo.

"Feng is our Dragon Nation's Wind System Sovereign. With him by your side, let alone Adams family spies, even if the Adams' high-ups came in person, they'd have to think twice."

Lin Mo finished listening and shrugged.

"Fine then."

He himself didn't really care.

Having one more big shot by his side was pretty good.

One more layer of safety.
