"Chief once said that anyone with his badge would be the next chief. Therefore, Li Mo is the next chief of Experts Alliance."
Lin Yourong was the first of the four elders to speak.
It had been three years since Ancestor Ao destroyed the Lin clan, and Lin Yourong stood up from that heavy blow.
The Experts Alliance now had a hundred and eighty-nine experts, and four top leaders. Vice-chief Lan Yue, elder Lin Youkong, elder Jiang Li, and Li Mo.
Of the four, elder Jiang Li never liked to voice his opinion. If you said yes, then yes. If you said no, then he shook his head.
An expert elite stood up and raised his hand, "I object."
"Li Mo is a newbie. No matter how you look at it, he has no right to lead the Experts Alliance. I believe the most suitable candidate is Vice-chief Lan Yue!"
Everyone's eyes were on Lan Yue.
"Vice-chief Lan's contributions are clear for all to see. With his experience and ability, isn't he better than the newbie Li Mo?"
"That's right."
"Makes sense."
"It's been so many years. The chief has long since left it to Vice-chief Lan."
"Vice-chief Lan may be a vice-chief in name, but he has always exercised the chief's authority. I think it's better for him to be the chief."
"I agree!"
"But chief said the badge is in Li Mo's hands."
"It's in his hands, but where's the old president?
How long has he been missing?
How did Li Mo get the badge? "
"I don't approve of Li Mo being the chief. He's too young and incompetent."
"Yeah, I thought it was wrong when chief promoted him to become an elder. How can he be the chief? I've been in the alliance for twenty years. Has he even had five?"
"How can he be the chief without experience and power?"
"I approve of Lan Yue!"
"I also approve of Vice-chief Lan!"
The experts cheered.
Lan Yue stood up and cupped his hands to the crowd to express his gratitude.
Lan Yue had been a vice-chief for so many years. He wouldn't believe it if he said he didn't want to take the next step.
"Elder Li, do you know how many branches the Experts Alliance has?
Do you know how many experts there are in our alliance?
Do you know what the Experts Alliance's main source of income is? "
Lan Yue bombarded Li Mo with questions.
"I don't know anything about what Vice President Lan said."
"Hahahahaha …"
Li Mo's answer had the experts rocking back and forth in laughter.
"Elder Li, if you don't know anything, how can you be the president?"
"That's right. You want to be the president when you don't know anything about the guild? Do you really think anyone can be the president?"
"It's a little funny. He's still too young."
"Being able to become an Elder is something that the Guild Leader favors. As for becoming a Guild Leader, forget it. His ability is lacking, his age is lacking, and his experience is even more lacking."
"In my opinion, someone like Elder Li who doesn't understand the inner workings of the Experts Alliance doesn't even have the qualifications to be an elder, let alone a leader. What do you all think?"
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
"How about this, let's take this opportunity to abolish Elder Li's position as an elder!"
"Good suggestion!"
"Okay, okay, I agree!"
Li Mo stood on the stage, watching the 'performance' of the experts with a smile.
The fact that he dared to take out his badge today meant that he had made up his mind to take control of the Experts Alliance.
Li Mo didn't want to be the Experts Alliance's leader for some bullshit power. He just wanted to be prepared for the invasion of the universe's races.
"Brothers!"
Lan Yue cupped his hands and the crowd went silent.
"Elder Li has the old chief's token. According to the rules, he does have the qualifications to be the next chief. But as I just asked, Elder Li doesn't know anything about the affairs of the association. How can he control the Experts Alliance in such a state?"
"It's not that I'm being selfish, but I have to do what I have to do. Elder Li, forgive me for not being able to support you!"
Lan Yue shouted, "I recommend myself to be the next leader. Brothers, do you all support me?"
"Yes!"
"The position belongs to Vice-chief Lan!"
"Vice-chief Lan must be the next leader!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Lan Yue was pleased with the reaction. He waited a while before raising his hand to silence the crowd.
"However, Elder Li has a token on his waist. If I were to take the position just like that, it might cause a lot of dissatisfaction. How about this, let's have a battle of strength today. I challenge Elder Li. If I win, I'll be the president. If Elder Li wins, then Elder Li will be the president!"
"Brothers, do you think my suggestion is feasible?"
"Yes!"
"No problem!"
"Vice-chief Lan!"
Lan Yue waved his hand and a group of experts moved the tables and chairs away, clearing an empty space.
"Elder Li, why don't you and I compete here?"
"Sure."
Li Mo nodded and entered.
"This Guild Leader Battle is only for the sake of the position. We should stop here. Elder Li, please be lenient."
"I will."
"Ha-ha-ha …"
The experts laughed at Li Mo's answer. Lan Yue was being modest, but Li Mo wasn't the least bit so.
"Then I ask for your guidance, Elder Li!"
Lan Yue brandished his fists, "My Hundred Steps Divine Fist can pierce a meter thick steel in a hundred steps. Please be careful, Elder Li."
Li Mo said, "My speed is fast, and so is my punch. It's easy to dodge. Vice-chief Lan must be careful as well."
Lan Yue was startled, then laughed and extended his hand.
"After you!"
Swish ~
Thump!
Lan Yue only saw a shadow flash before a punch landed on his left chest. The force was so great that he staggered seven steps back.
And Li Mo was merciful, or a punch to the face would've knocked him out on the spot.
After Li Mo's punch, no more jeers were heard.
Lan Yue shouted and released a barrier of blue Qi. His Hundred Steps Divine Fist was powered by qi. Not only could it be used to attack, it could also be used to defend.
Li Mo's figure flickered again and his fist shook Lan Yue's qi barrier.
Lan Yue calmed down and punched again.
The Hundred Steps Godly Fist was unleashed like a storm, bombarding Li Mo without end.
Li Mo's figure flickered. The Hundred Steps Divine Fist had a wide range, but it was wishful thinking to hit the lightning-fast Li Mo.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Li Mo punched three times. The first cracked the qi barrier, the second shattered it, and the third hit Lan Yue's chest, sending him crashing to the ground.
