Seeing Xuanyuan Chen applaud in person, Zhang Hao was taken aback and asked, "Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
Xuanyuan Chen took a deep breath, his face filled with a playful smile:
"This Lin Mo is much stronger than I expected."
Zhang Hao slightly lifted his head, "Then Young Master, what do you plan to do?"
Xuanyuan Chen stood up and smiled, "I plan to give him another chance."
Then, under everyone's gaze, Xuanyuan Chen walked up to the arena. He looked at Lin Mo with some admiration and then said:
"Young man, you truly surprise me, even defeating Zhou Yang, the second-place competitor."
"Originally, your rejection of my Xuanyuan Chen's recruitment was a death wish."
"However, now I am willing to give you another chance to become a part of Xuanyuan Chen's team."
"Of course, I'm not asking you to be my subordinate but rather, my right-hand man."
"As long as you follow me devotedly, within a year in Imperial City, you can be as influential as I am, turning the clouds and raining with a flick of your hand."
Lin Mo glanced at him with a cold tone:
"It seems, your men didn't make my words clear to you last time."
"I can repeat it for you again, you, are not qualified, do you understand?"
Hearing this, the expression on Xuanyuan Chen's face turned completely cold:
"Since you refuse the toast only to drink the penalty, don't blame me, Xuanyuan Chen, for being ruthless."
"Since we have already become enemies, and you are unwilling to be my right-hand man, I can only destroy you myself, eliminating the potential threat you pose."
"I, Xuanyuan Chen, am not like the others, either become my right-hand man or I will never give you any opportunity to grow."
With that said, Xuanyuan Chen's gaze turned as icy as frost.
In a moment, it seemed as if their glares were clashing, and their robes fluttered without any wind, as if a giant blower was targeting them.
Not only that, those below the stage could feel an extremely intense fighting spirit emanating from Xuanyuan Chen.
It was unprecedented.
It seemed that Lin Mo might have a very rough time today.
Xuanyuan Chen wasn't wasting any more words.
"Mountain Movement Fist!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned. When Xuanyuan Chen's fist smashed down, it was as bright as the sun and the moon, golden light flickering as if there were five or six suns hanging in the sky.
The dazzling array of colors made it almost impossible for the onlookers to keep their eyes open.
At that moment, everyone in the arena could only think of one thing: how powerful!
Everyone blinked, clearly seeing the punch mark that was solid and substantial.
The punch seemed to encompass an overwhelming sea wave, a tsunami storm, or even an apocalyptic force.
That punch, fully displaying the realm of a Great Grandmaster, felt like it reached perfection.
Many youths in attendance were staring intensely, shocked by the punch, feeling that they had much to learn and understand.
Then everyone turned their heads to look at Lin Mo, but to everyone's surprise, Lin Mo didn't even frown.
Standing there with one hand behind his back, the next second, he too raised his fist.
Just like that, he threw a punch in a seemingly light and casual manner.
Yes, just like that, a seemingly very casual punch.
Has Lin Mo gone mad?
This was the thought in everyone's heart.
With the punch that Xuanyuan Chen had thrown, for comparison, they undoubtably felt that Lin Mo's punch would only end up being completely overpowered by Xuanyuan Chen!
The next second, like a shocking, unconventional collision, the two punches suddenly struck together.
It was like midnight thunder, leaving many people's ears feeling almost deaf.
Not only that, everyone could feel an extremely terrifying shock and fluctuation; some professors and principals were even nearly knocked unconscious by the forces of the two colliding.
However, in the next second, everyone's pupils suddenly dilated.
They saw Xuanyuan Chen actually step back.
Even more, they personally witnessed Xuanyuan Chen's face turn somewhat pale.
"This...this is impossible!!"
Disbelief and incredulity filled Xuanyuan Chen's face; he had always carried himself with immense confidence and the aura of a superior combatant.
But now, his expression was somewhat deflated, even furious.
Just now, his punch was powerful enough to severely injure a High-level Martial Sect member, a punch that contained absolutely domineering power.
It had been powerful enough to ignore all defenses, yet, he hadn't anticipated that this punch wouldn't inflict any damage on Lin Mo.
What shocked him even more was that he himself had actually been injured!
Everyone was equally taken aback.
It was known throughout the Imperial City that among young elites, Xuanyuan Chen could be considered almost equal to Ye Kai.
Both were the most outstanding talents among the younger generation of the Imperial City.
Yet now, Xuanyuan Chen, an idol to countless youths, was injured?
This was definitely explosive news!
Their curiosity about Lin Mo intensified; just who was he?
However, some felt a deep sympathy for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo's punch had thoroughly enraged Xuanyuan Chen and caused him to lose face.
This was definitely the most humiliating moment in Xuanyuan Chen's history.
"Bastard, I'll cripple you!"
Like a clown whose mask had been ripped off, Xuanyuan Chen's anger reached its peak, his face distorting into something grotesque and sinister.
The next second, a longsword suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Azure Dragon Sword?"
Seeing the sword, many of the young people present sharply narrowed their eyes.
Those very familiar with Xuanyuan Chen were particularly incredulous.
They knew that Xuanyuan Chen had only used the Azure Dragon Sword once before.
That time, Xuanyuan Chen had used this sword to easily slay a Half-step Martial Venerate!
And he did it effortlessly!
This Azure Dragon Sword was said to have been obtained by Xuanyuan Chen during an adventure in the European ruins.
The power of its blade was boundless.
However, it had one major flaw; it required ninety percent of the wielder's True Qi to activate the sword skill.
Everyone was shocked; it seems Xuanyuan Chen was extremely furious, otherwise, he would never resort to using the Azure Dragon Sword.
Xuanyuan Chen's gaze was ice-cold, as if the temperature inside the Martial Arts Hall suddenly dropped several degrees.
However, what was extremely perplexing was that Lin Mo's eyes, akin to stars, remained as calm as ever, like ancient waves undisturbed by the slightest ripple!
