High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

Although Grand Duke Vladimir's smile was a bit lewd, it didn't stop Chen Mo from taking the storage ring from his hand.

Anyway, the storage ring won't laugh...

"Then I'll take these two with me. I wish you good luck with your results."

"The champion's reward this time is quite good: a blood bath from a Grandmaster-level Abyss Beast. Many people are eyeing this champion's reward."

Grand Prince Vladimir picked up the two women who had just regained consciousness but were still dazed, left behind this sentence, and disappeared.

"Blood bath? What blood bath?"

Gu Feng paused for a moment. He felt like he had heard of this before, but it was very vague.

"You've all heard the story of Siegfried bathing in dragon's blood, haven't you?"

Geng Lianhu turned to look at Chen Mo and Gu Feng.

"There is a beast king in the deep rift of Gran Island, which looks very similar to the legendary dragon."

"That beast king didn't seem to harbor much hostility towards humans; on the contrary, it was curious about them."

"In addition, the people of Gran Island have raised it for so many years, and they have gradually become familiar with it. Letting it bleed a little is not a big deal."

"This championship prize is bathed in its blood, and no one dares to say whether they know how effective it will be."

"But I'm certain that the blood of that Grandmaster-level Beast King will be just as effective as the energy liquid."

"You've always wanted to bathe in energy liquid, haven't you? Don't miss this opportunity."

Geng Lianhu grinned, put his hands behind his back, and turned to leave.

"..." Chen Mo didn't say anything, but he felt like he could get some freebies again?

That's right, Chen Mo is certain that he will win the championship; he's determined to take this bloodbath.

"Speaking of which, what's the order of appearance for our singles competition this time..."

Speaking of the competition, Gu Feng suddenly realized that they hadn't discussed this matter at all.

"It's alright, leave it to me."

"All you need to do is cling to my leg and be my cheerleaders."

Chen Mo patted Gu Feng on the shoulder, walked to the beach bar, ordered a drink, and continued to enjoy his relaxing time.

......

As night fell, a strange figure appeared in Lawrence's villa.

"I saw it with my own eyes; you had a conflict with Chen Mo from the Da Xia team?"

Sitting in front of Lawrence was a Mediterranean South Asian man, the same South Asian man who had caused trouble in the store earlier.

"Tell me, why not amplify the impact of this incident? Doesn't the World Junior Championships have rules prohibiting players from engaging in physical altercations outside of competition?"

"I...I don't know anything..." The South Asian glanced at Lawrence, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.

He had already been warned by the Great Xia military that if any news detrimental to Chen Mo were to spread, it wouldn't just be him who would suffer.

The military headquarters of the Great Xia Dynasty is not a place where reason prevails; when it comes to protecting their own, they rank among the best in the world.

"Of course, I understand you."

Lawrence nodded, got up, and walked to the South Asian man's side.

"However, the fighting power of the New America is not something you can handle, is it?"

"I don't think a tiny place like yours is qualified to make a choice."

"I'm not asking you to do anything to Chen Mo, I just want public opinion to play its proper role."

"Just to let everyone know how arrogant, disdainful, and conceited Chen Mo is."

"No one else will know about our conversation. I will guarantee your safety and that of your country..."

Lawrence's idea was actually very simple: to portray Chen Mo as an arrogant and conceited individual, and then have him, the chosen one, defeat him.

Yes, Lawrence wanted to use Chen Mo as a stepping stone to fame.

Unfortunately, even if he hadn't done that, what Chen Mo did at the World Youth Championship was even more arrogant than the word "arrogant" even suggests.

A few days later, a very unfavorable public opinion began to form on the local forum of Gran Island, which was very detrimental to Chen Mo and the Great Xia team.

Although it disappeared quickly, it still spread throughout this small place.

Chen Mo himself didn't feel much about it, after all, what he was about to do was far more significant than those exaggerated rumors...

Madness!

...

"The World Youth Championships officially begin the day after tomorrow, and the opening ceremony rehearsal started this afternoon."

Geng Lianhu was still wearing the same floral shorts and floral shirt, completely unlike what a team leader should look like.

"Don't forget, I'm going to get an aromatherapy spa this afternoon, so don't bother me."

"Dean Geng, aren't you going to be there for the opening ceremony too?"

Chen Mo glanced at the opening ceremony program, which was almost identical to the Asian Youth Games in his previous life. The only difference was that there were fewer people and the venue was larger.

"I'm not going. Let your Brother Lu be the team leader, I'll just watch the fun."

Geng Lianhu waved his hand, saying that this occasion was too formal and that a proper person like Lu Youwei was more suitable.

"Xiao Lu, you'll go with them this afternoon."

Geng Lianhu shouted towards the door, and Lu Youwei suddenly appeared at the door.

"Understood, Dean Geng. I will be the team leader for the Great Xia delegation. May I ask who the captain will be?"

Lu Youwei had actually wanted to ask about this for a long time, as he always felt that Chen Mo and the others hadn't made any arrangements for the upcoming World Youth Championship.

"Chen Mo is the captain. Don't worry about how the game is played. These kids know what they're doing."

"Don't use the military's standards to judge them. These kids belong to the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy."

"Chen Mo, you should cooperate with Xiao Lu a bit and not make things difficult for him."

"Let's go!"

Seeing that Lu Youwei was in place, Geng Lianhu gave him a few words of advice and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Brother Lu, what do you mean?"

Gu Feng grinned and moved closer to Lu Youwei, looking at the extremely serious military general and asking him a question.

"Meet at the main entrance of the Rosalia Hotel at 1 p.m., and I'll take you to the rehearsal."

Lu Youwei glanced at his watch and set a relatively relaxed time.

"I will distribute the team uniforms to you this afternoon, and I will give the captain's uniform to Chen Mo separately."

"I will arrange everything; you don't need to worry."
