One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Ma Long complained, quite disappointed, and picked up the now-cold teacup, drinking it all in one gulp.

Lü Ci laughed and said, "Haha, you little guys are really good at hiding things!"

Let's not talk about anything far away, just talk about you!

"Ma Long, what's on your mind? Can you tell me?"

Seeing Lü Ci's meaningful smile, Ma Long snorted coldly, knowing that there was no point in hiding it anymore.

"Okay, then I'll tell you!"

Who doesn't want to be number one in the world? Who doesn't want to be at the top?

I'm now recognized as the number one young player!

"Grandpa Lü, do you think it's possible for me to reach the level of the Old Celestial Master?"

After hearing Ma Long's words, Lü Ci laughed heartily, his eyes revealing admiration.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Time has passed, and to meet a young man like you again makes this old man quite sentimental!

I can only say that you have a great chance, but the odds are still slim.

Even if one becomes the number one, it is impossible to stand out like the Celestial Master!

Let me tell you something else. Do you know why your "Youth First Place" award didn't get much attention?

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and apart from the younger generation, almost no one really cared.

Because you need time to grow, and you might get killed during that time!

Moreover, there have been too many cases of children like Zhong Yong being wasted; my Lü family has had many such incidents.

Only those with truly outstanding abilities will receive sufficient attention.

The so-called ranking is nothing more than a game of power struggles between various forces!

Admittedly, your Salvation Palace has gained a foothold, but how many people are simply doing it for your sake?

"Isn't it all thanks to the power and influence of Chen Jinkui and the Old Celestial Master?"

Lu Ci poured cold water on Ma Long, which immediately dampened Ma Long's spirits.

"Old Lu was being a bit harsh, but my skills are definitely up to par."

But he was largely right; strength is fundamental.

“What Master Lü said is true; I will keep his golden words in mind!”

Although it's not possible now, at least we have a foothold.

Hehe, I'm still ahead of my peers!

Instead of being discouraged, Ma Long encouraged himself.

Lu Ci was overjoyed and couldn't help but exclaim, "I truly envy your talent!"

Don't waste it, practice hard.

"If only you were a member of my Lü family!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Long immediately stepped forward, his expression serious and respectful as he clasped his hands in greeting.

"The dragon has been wandering for a long time, only regretting that it has not met a wise ruler!"

If Master Lü does not despise me today, I, Long, am willing to become his godfather!

Lu Ci was taken aback when he saw this, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, interesting!"

You know I value bloodlines, right? But don't forget, I'm a mad dog!

"What if I really accepted you?"

Malone remained calm and composed, saying, "Hehe!"

I've gained two generations in a flash, but I'm not losing out!

Moreover, I was thrilled to hear that the Lü family produces and sells their own products.

When I get to the Lü family, I'll help you improve your genes!

Send me all the decent-looking girls in your family.

We will ensure that the next generation of the Lü family's sons are full of energy and spirit!

I'll just have to put in the effort, after all, it's a huge responsibility to be unbeatable among my peers!

Superior genes need to be widely disseminated!

Lu Ci's face suddenly darkened after hearing this. He knew Ma Long was joking, but even these few words made him very disgusted.

However, Lü Ci held back and did not refute, only letting out a cold snort.

"Humph!

"Only you dare to talk to me like that!"

Ma Long immediately realized the seriousness of the problem; it seemed he had crossed Lu Ci's line.

"Master Lü, please don't hold it against me!"

"Just a slip of the tongue, hehe!"

Lu Ci was equally nonchalant: "I can take a joke, but I can also take on the big picture."

Damn, you don't look like a kid under twenty at all!

I'm so jealous!

By the way, quite a few things have happened recently. Although there won't be a major reshuffle, it would be good to seize the opportunities.

Do your best!

Lu Ci left a curt remark and got up to leave, leaving Ma Long puzzled.

"Master Lü, please allow me to stop you for a moment. I didn't understand the last sentence you just said."

Could you please explain that again?

You'll find out soon!

The industry is about to descend into chaos.

Lu Ci didn't explain further and walked towards the door.

'That old guy only says half of what he means, it's so disgusting!'

No, why shouldn't I know about this?

I have Erzhuang! My information network should be the most efficient, right?

Oh dear, it's been a long time since I've been in touch with Erzhuang.

Let me ask first!

Ma Long went out to see Lü Ci off, and when the two came out, Lü's family and others all gathered around.

"Dad, let's finish our meal before we leave!"

"Yes, sir, I heard that the dining hall at the Salvation Palace is very luxurious!"

Lu Ci frowned: "Haven't you eaten yet!"

I have to take my leave now because something has come up at home!

Some members of the Lü family left in a large group, and Ma Long felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

'Phew, that mad dog is finally gone!'

……

"Junior Uncle, according to what you're saying, this Lü Ci isn't bad at all!"

And he seems to know quite a bit about things. What did he mean when he said the industry was going to be in chaos?

After listening to Ma Long's account of what happened, Wang Ye's analysis was very logical and reasonable.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Erzhuang. This girl even took the initiative to contact me. We've almost lost touch with the outside world."

Ask them!

Ma Long took out his phone and called Gao Yushan. A moment later, a familiar voice rang out.

"Ouch! Brother Long!"

What wind has disturbed you, the foremost young talent?

You haven't contacted them for so long, are you going to come up here and ask them questions right away?

No way?

Knowing that Gao Yushan was complaining that he hadn't contacted her for too long, Ma Long admitted that he had indeed forgotten about her while practicing martial arts these days.

Uh~ I was just worried you were busy!

Shanshan, don't blame your brother, he was wrong!

Ugh! You always use the same excuse.

I just can't do anything with you!

Speak, what is it?

Could it be that old man Lü Ci said something to you?

“Lu Ci did tell me, so I want to confirm it.”

What's been happening in the entertainment industry lately?

Ma Long confirmed Gao Yushan's guess.

'Uh~ okay!'

Anyway, you'll find out soon enough.

The company's board of directors has grown tired of the autocratic rule of various factions and has decided to reshuffle the power structure.

Although it's not a major reshuffle, it can still serve as a wake-up call and a means of stabilization.

Therefore, the company began to support medium-sized forces, encouraging them to step forward and take on more responsibility, such as the Zhuge Wuhou faction, Tang Clan, Qiuzhen Society, our Salvation Palace, and so on.

Moreover, the position left vacant by the departure of the Old Celestial Master from the Ten Elders has been coveted by many.

Anyway, things are going to get lively in the industry in the near future, and as a prominent figure, you definitely can't avoid it.

Brother Long, you really need to practice your skills properly. Don't neglect the "Qi Observation Technique".

Zhuge Qing of the Wuhou School was very dissatisfied after losing to you at the Luotian Grand Ceremony!

Although Lao Qing is also tempting, I still support you, Brother Long!

It seems like their family is going to hold some kind of "battle of the titans," or something like that, a fight.

Keep it up, Brother Long!
