Chapter 223: Chapter 218: The Duel Begins

"Of course, Mr. Dragon, thank you for your wonderful performance, thank you."

He Huaijun walked to the center of the stage, taking the microphone from Long Chen with a smile on his face.

Long Chen walked off the stage and took his seat, his expression as usual.

Little did he know, his impressive act had already caught the high attention of many women.

Men like Long Chen, young and handsome, with extremely high status and wealth, were most favored by females.

He had barely sat down when Liu Mo, the actress who had performed earlier, took the initiative to approach him.

"Hello Mr. Dragon, my name is Liu Mo, may I get to know you?"

Liu Mo smiled sweetly.

This woman truly had exceptional beauty and charm, unmatched and unattainable for most people.

"Of course, it would be an honor."

Long Chen smiled.

"Thank you."

Liu Mo then sat down next to Long Chen.

Her action caused many men and women at the scene to frown.

Men were envious of Long Chen, while women were jealous of Liu Mo for being able to sit next to him.

"That Liu Mo, I’ve heard she climbed up using some underhanded tactics, and now she’s probably trying to hook up with Long Chen since he’s as wealthy as a nation."

"Exactly, but what can you do? She has the looks, after all."

"How come I’ve heard that Liu Mo became popular through her genuine talent and skills? It seems her family has always been well-off, I’ve heard her grandfather is the leader of a certain Martial Arts family, vigorous despite his age. You should watch what you say."

"What’s there to talk nonsense about? Many insiders say Liu Mo has a backer, a big shot, whose name I wouldn’t dare to even mention."

For a while, there were all sorts of conversations in the crowd.

Long Chen heard them but didn’t care.

These rumors and gossips, whether true or not, were irrelevant to him.

"Mr. Dragon, the song you sang just now was truly at a high level. I think if you didn’t do pharmaceuticals and debuted as a singer, you’d be a hit."

Liu Mo chuckled.

"Really? If my Dragon Doctor ever goes out of business, I’ll definitely pursue a singing career." Long Chen joked with a smile.

"Haha, then I’ll never see that happen in this lifetime." Liu Mo giggled.

On the other hand, Yang Su watched Liu Mo actively approaching Long Chen without jealousy, but she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Miss Liu, if Long Chen debuts, I will definitely be his number one fan."

Yang Su said with a smile.

"Mr. Dragon, who is this beauty?"

Liu Mo asked curiously.

"My girlfriend, Yang Su."

Long Chen said without a moment’s hesitation.

Yang Su secretly rejoiced, her mouth curling into a smile.

She had thought Long Chen would hide it a bit, but to her surprise, he directly said she was his girlfriend.

This made Yang Su very content and extremely happy.

"Miss Liu, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Yang Su reached out to Liu Mo with a smile.

"Me too."

The two women shook hands.

However, at that moment, Liu Mo’s thoughts remained unknown to others.

She was quite surprised by Long Chen’s reaction.

Because no man had ever introduced his girlfriend in front of her.

Long Chen was the first!

Even if other men were speaking to her with their girlfriends, they would not introduce them so forthrightly; they would leave some room.

This room could be seen as them being charmed by her beauty, leaving a bit of hope for something to happen between them.

Since her debut, this had never been an exception.

So Long Chen’s direct introduction made Liu Mo take a fresh look at him.

After their brief chat, Liu Mo found that Long Chen’s conversation was extraordinary, and in many ways, he astonishingly matched the image of her ideal other half.

This caused Liu Mo to sigh with a trace of regret, "What a pity."

"What’s a pity? That I’m already taken?"

"Eh, not at all, I was just thinking how Yang Su, such a beauty, was swept off her feet by you." Liu Mo smiled.

"You’re not interested in women, are you?"

Long Chen asked, surprised.

"Oh my, this is getting ridiculous. I’m not; my sexual orientation is incredibly normal."

Liu Mo laughed.

"Wow, your conversation has gotten to sexual orientations, impressive."

Yang Su gave a thumbs up.

"Susu, don’t get me wrong, I won’t steal someone’s love with a sword," Liu Mo hurriedly said with a laugh.

"I’m not worried. Having another good sister, who is also a big star, doesn’t seem too bad," Yang Su said with a smile.

Liu Mo smiled, taking Yang Su’s words as a joke.

During their casual chat, He Huaijun on the stage had already announced the start of the Martial Alliance Conference.

The rules set were quite simple. There were thirty qualified contenders for the position of Alliance Hierarch.

Thirty people would take turns to be the defending champion, accepting challenges.

The one who won three consecutive matches in the first round could proceed to the second.

The losers, or those who didn’t survive three rounds, would be directly eliminated.

The rules were cruel, but also fair!

Soon, a person stepped onto the stage.

This was an elder with a calm gaze, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Challengers are welcome,"

He Huaijun declared loudly.

As He Huaijun’s voice faded, a person immediately went up onto the stage.

This challenger was much younger than the elder, but his momentum was no weaker.

"Elder Gao, I must apologize for my impertinence."

The middle-aged man spoke softly.

"Once on the battle stage, there’s no question of impropriety. The winner takes all, please proceed!" the elder said with a smile.

"Your clarity is appreciated, elder. In that case, I will make my move," the middle-aged man suddenly launched an attack.

The elder was prepared and immediately fought back.

The duel between the two thus began.

Both spared no effort, with every move being lethal.

A myriad of deadly techniques emerged one after another, making the fight incredibly intense.

Among those present were many ordinary people.

For them, the battle that was unfolding was a visual feast.

Boom.

The elder threw a punch from a distance, visibly distorting the space.

To the ordinary people, it was like witnessing a miracle.

Long Chen was also watching with great interest. He had to admit that the moves of these two were very skillful.

However, sometimes, the most skillful moves proved ineffective in the face of absolute power.

The saying "one force can break many spells" was not without merit.

It was like an ordinary person punching a wild bull. No matter how skillful the attack, it was like tickling.

But being hit by the bull even once could result in death or crippling injuries.

Of course, if skillful moves were combined with unparalleled inner strength, the combat effectiveness could increase exponentially.

"That elder is going to win," Yang Su whispered.

"No," Long Chen said with a light chuckle. "The middle-aged man will win."

"How about we make a bet?" Yang Su turned to glance at Long Chen.

"Indulge you I shall. If I win, we’ll try a hundred different positions tonight," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Pfft, there aren’t a hundred positions. If I win, then you will have to do whatever I say tonight," Yang Su cooed.

"Deal, the word is given," Long Chen nodded with a smile.

Bang.

No sooner had Long Chen spoken than the elder was sent flying by the middle-aged man and fell from the stage.

"This..."

Yang Su was dumbfounded.

She had just agreed on a bet with Long Chen and she had already lost?

"Ha-ha, are you convinced now?" Long Chen couldn’t help but ask with a laugh.

"This is outrageous, wasn’t the elder in the lead the whole time? How did he suddenly lose? I don’t get it at all," Yang Su said, looking completely baffled.
