Mo Fan had rarely shown himself in the past. He was finally going to beat some assh*** up publicly this time, so these people purposely came all the way here to support him. They were not going to let those with ulterior motives vilify their hero!
“That won’t be necessary. You don’t have to believe me, it’s only adding to the burden. After all, I’m not a nice guy. I will feel troubled if I want to follow my own will, yet it’s against the moral standards you have for me,” Mo Fan said.
“Ugh… you still have our support!” his loyal supporters exclaimed regardless.
“It’s just like a cult!” Zu Xiangtian harrumphed coldly, scoffing at the people who were siding with Mo Fan.
“It’s rare to have a chance to talk to people who understand me in public. I would like to say a few words. I already mentioned that a lot of people thought I was the strongest young Mage in the country after I won the World College Tournament. I used to think it was ridiculous back then. I was only a student. I hadn’t really come across those who had already entered society, and I’d only been to a few places,” Mo Fan said.
The crowd who came to watch the duel quieted down. There were lots of rumors about Mo Fan going around, claiming he was either going on adventures or picking up chicks. He rarely showed himself in front of the people who were following him closely, so many people were interested in hearing him talk.
The Vice Mayor’s expression calmed down when he saw Mo Fan was finally willing to speak properly.
Mo Fan was giving a nice speech. He had great achievements at a young age, but he believed it was necessary to visit more places and learn from his experience. He realized the world was a lot bigger than he had imagined. It was exactly what the younger generations needed to hear.
“I’ve been to many places these few years. A few places in our country, the East China Sea, Thousand Islands Lake, Mount Kunlun, Tarim Basin, the desolate land in Beijiang, and Tianshan Mountain. I also went to other countries, such the Alps, Egypt, the Mediterranean Sea, Greece, and the Sacred City…” Mo Fan briefly described the adventures he had after the World College Tournament.
“Impressive, he’s been to so many places!”
“As expected of a model of the younger generation!”
The leaders of the Feiniao Headquarters City’s impression toward Mo Fan improved significantly when he listed the places he had been to. The young man had visited more places than they had, even though they were already in their forties and fifties!
“I think I can no longer consider myself a student. I believe there are people who have been to more places than I have, but I can now discard my identity as a student and truly become a member of society,” Mo Fan went on.
“You did well, Mo Fan. The national team is proud to have someone like you!” the Mayor of Feiniao City called out.
This was the real positive energy he was hoping to get from Mo Fan. They had always heard how unreliable Mo Fan was in the past, but Mo Fan’s speech had awakened the youthful hearts of the leaders and Councilmen of Feiniao City. They were thinking of traveling around the world after they retired!
“I’ve met a lot of people who looked down on me and challenged me these last few years. I just smiled… and I beat them up!
“Many people say I’m a coward who doesn’t dare to accept any challenges despite holding onto the title of the strongest young Mage. I’m getting tired of these rumors and being discredited. I’ve practiced magic for so many years and come so far. I’m no longer a student without confidence.
“I, Mo Fan, am no longer willing to please immature people.
“The strongest candidate in the World College Tournament? The strongest young Mage in the country? The strongest young Mage in the world?
“What a joke!
“These titles are nothing. I’m the f**king strongest Mage in the world!
“If anyone in the country is unconvinced of my strength, I’ll beat them up so they will learn it the hard way. If anyone outside the country doesn’t agree with me, ask them to see me, and I’ll convince them!
“I’m a busy man, just so you know. I will hold an arena for a day every year in the Feiniao Headquarters City or Fanxue Mountain. Let’s make it today. Every year, on this day, as long as you think you are worthy enough to challenge me like this arrogant Zu Xiangtian, go ahead and register your interest for a duel at Fanxue Mountain and secure your spot. I’ll fight you all!
Mo Fan pointed at Zu Xiangtian. “Today, I shall treat Zu Xiangtian as the chicken whose blood I’m offering to the Heavens to establish the arena!”
The man totally lost his calm when he heard the last sentence!
Mo Fan was going to treat him as a sacrifice to set up an arena fight once every year!
He had never seen anyone more reckless!
The whole place fell silent. It was bustling with noise just a moment ago, yet there was only the sound of the waves left.
The leaders and Councilmen of the Feiniao Headquarters City were seated in their designated area. The cold breeze of the East China Sea was slapping them in the face. A bald Councilman who had lost his hat completely forgot to take care of his image. The Vice Mayor’s mouth was wide enough to fit an island. The Mayor was asking his assistant to pass him the inhaler, but the assistant was staring blankly at Mo Fan.
How could someone be so reckless? Wasn’t he scared of being killed by a lightning strike?
“This young man… this young man… my inhaler…” The Mayor felt like he was going to suffocate.
The Councilmen who were representing the Magic Association were left speechless too.
The Magic Association did mention they were less strict on the duels between young Mages. They needed some belligerence and a strong impact to motivate the younger generations, but this young Mage was definitely overdoing it!
The Magic Association was trying to add some fuel to the flame, but they did not realize Mo Fan was a keg of gunpowder!
The Vice Mayor trembled. His hair was disheveled by the wind. He asked Mu Linsheng, “Does your leader never prepare a script before giving his speech? He was doing a great job at the beginning, but…”
Many people were touched when Mo Fan shared his story after making a name for himself. They had buckled in on Mo Fan’s motivational ride, but he suddenly did a drift and brought them onto a rollercoaster. They were struggling to describe their feelings. It was like falling to the ground from the Heavens in just a second!
Young man, they were too old to handle the shock!
“You’re basically saying that you were just an inexperienced student before, so you don’t think you were strong, but after visiting many places and meeting a lot of people, you are confident that you are the strongest Mage in the world?” Zu Xiangtian asked with a twisted expression.
“Exactly!” Mo Fan replied cheerfully.
