"The empire's martial competition will be held in seven days. The five of you will be representing Fallen Leaf Town.
I'm sure everyone knows the importance of this conference!
It concerns the survival of our guild. I hope everyone will do their best to get a good result! "
Han Tianyu's eyes swept over Li Mo and the other five.
"Don't worry, leader!
We won't disappoint you! "
Li Mo stared at Han Tianyu's expectant eyes.
"Right!
Guild Leader, we will definitely win glory for our guild in the Martial Arts Tournament! "
"We will protect our guild!"
…
The others were solemn as well. They all knew what it meant to get a good result in this competition.
"Good!
I'm glad.
But you must put your safety first. Although the participants are all around the same level as you, there is no lack of outstanding students from the big guilds.
However, there is no lack of outstanding members from the various large Guilds. Once you face them, do not try to show off.
"Yes …"
The five answered in unison, their voices echoing in Han Tianyu's room for a long time.
"Teacher Land Rover and I will take you to the competition. Teachers Leng Yihan and Ling Xiyu will be overseeing the guild.
There's no need to say more. Everyone is dismissed.
Go back and get ready. We will be leaving tomorrow morning! "
They all left at once. But just as Li Mo stepped out of the door, Han Tianyu's voice rang again.
"Little Mo, wait!
I have something I need to tell you. "
'Uh …'
Li Mo stopped in his tracks and turned to see Han Tianyu and the three teachers looking at him with solemn expressions.
"Leader, is there something else?"
"Little Mo!
You are the most outstanding of the five. Whether or not we can protect Fallen Leaf Town depends on you.
However, you must pay attention to your safety. The various large Guilds have dispatched many Level 40-plus players to attend the conference.
If you can't beat them, then give up. Don't try to be brave.
Although the rules of the Grand Assembly stated that no one's life could be harmed, accidents would still happen in every Grand Assembly.
Your life is far more important than our guild! "
Li Mo could see the contradiction in Han Tianyu's eyes. He wanted to do well for the guild, yet he was afraid he would be hurt.
But Li Mo had his own plans. He was at the 40th level, had the inheritance of four demon beasts, and had the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword on par with a king weapon. As long as he didn't run into a 50th level student, he would stand a chance.
Moreover, the Empire had a rule that any martial artist who reached rank 50 would no longer be a student.
They had either joined the teacher's team or left the guild.
So Li Mo was confident he'd get a good result in the tournament.
"President, I understand!"
"Yes!
This defensive equipment is a King-tier equipment that I obtained from a level-7 demon beast many years ago. I'll give it to you now. "
After saying that, Han Tianyu swiped his Storage Belt and a set of clothes, flashing with golden light, appeared in his hand.
"No … President, I can't accept such a valuable gift."
Li Mo didn't accept Han Tianyu's gift. He knew how valuable it was.
In the entire Tianfeng Empire, only people with high status and authority could own such a piece of equipment.
"Hey!
Little Mo, this is President's kind gesture. You should accept it. "
"Yeah!
Little Mo, if you don't accept it, President will feel uneasy! "
Land Rover and Ling Xiyu also tried to persuade him.
"Little Mo, I know it's selfish of me to put all the pressure on you, but there's no other way.
The only way to protect Fallen Leaf Town is to prove to the Empire that our guild has the power to exist.
So you must accept this equipment. I'd rather the guild cease to exist than see you risk your life for my selfish desires. "
"This …"
While Li Mo was hesitating, the silent Leng Yihan whispered in his ear.
"Take it first and return it to President later."
"Alright!
I'll accept it for now.
President, Fallen Leaf Town is our home. I will make sure it continues to exist in the Empire.
And I will make sure it surpasses Veluriyam City! "
Li Mo took the king equipment from Han Tianyu's hands and gave his promise.
If anyone else had said this, Han Tianyu and the other three teachers would've taken it as a beautiful dream.
But for some reason, when Li Mo said it, they were all convinced he would come true.
"Good!
Little Mo, go back and get ready!
Rest well and fight to be in your best condition for the upcoming convention! "
…
Han Tianyu watched Li Mo's departing back with tears in his eyes.
"President, Little Mo is a genius that only appears once in a thousand years.
He will surely help our guild gain a foothold in the Tianfeng Empire! "
"Yeah, don't worry, old man.
With the protection of king-class defensive equipment, he definitely wouldn't have any accidents.
And don't forget, Little Mo has four demon beasts' inheritance skills. He will surely give you a miracle! "
Han Tianyu sighed at Land Rover and Ling Xiyu's words.
"Sigh!
I don't doubt Little Mo's strength. It's just that imposing my own wishes on him makes me feel uneasy and ashamed. I'm afraid the child won't be able to handle the pressure! "
"President, you don't have to worry about it.
Little Mo has a strong heart. He won't be like what you say! "
Leng Yihan said.
Others might not understand Li Mo, but he did.
Back in the Misty Forest, when they injured Veluriyam City's students and teachers, Li Mo's calm and cool-headedness made him feel Li Mo was out of the ordinary.
"I hope so!
Let's go. "
…
"Hey!
Li Mo, what did President and the others tell you when they left you alone? "
"Yeah!
What did they say? Tell us! "
Li Mo just returned to his room when Ye Fan and Han Zhe opened the door.
"It's nothing. It's just that the Guild Master entrusted this to me."
Li Mo took out the king equipment Han Tianyu gave him.
"Wow!
No way!
I-is that a king equipment? "
"Oh my god!
It really is a king equipment. I've only heard of our president having one, but never seen one! "
Ye Fan and Han Zhe were like old bachelors who had seen beautiful women for decades. They couldn't help but caress the king equipment that was emitting golden light.
"I say, isn't Lord President too biased? Why didn't he give each of us a piece to wear?"
"Ye Fan, do you think king equipment is as common as cabbages?
And one for each? Only you can think of something like that!
Li Mo is the strongest of us five. He has the most responsibility, so of course he has to use it.
You're only at the 22nd level, so it's pointless for you to wear it. "
"F * ck!
Han Zhe, don't be so sarcastic.
I'm just a bit low in level. I'll work hard on my cultivation once the convention is over. Just wait and see!
I'll get one too and piss you off! "
"He-he … what's there to piss me off about? If you have the skill, I'll be happy for you!
But give me one too. We've been brothers for so many years. "
"Ha-ha … good!
It's settled. "
…
Li Mo shook his head helplessly at the two's banter.
Li Mo had a good night's sleep. The next morning, Han Tianyu and Tiger on the Road led the five students on their way to the imperial capital!
