529: Section 529

The time and place had all been set.

They were just waiting for today to have a proper Martial Arts Exchange.

As a result, the time was almost up, yet those barbarians from the Outer Alliances were nowhere to be seen.

This was clearly an act of deliberate stalling, showing they didn't take them seriously at all.

With less than five minutes left until the agreed-upon time, even Old He's expression gradually darkened.

An inexplicable anger began to permeate the lounge...

Just when the atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

Chapter 351: Junior Brother... has had another Breakthrough?

A series of gazes all turned toward the door of the conference room.

The first person to walk in was Meng Die.

"Old He, the foreigners have arrived!"

As soon as she spoke, the eyes of the others in the conference room erupted with a hint of anger.

They had been waiting here for nearly an hour, and these foreigners had only just arrived late.

Old He's face also darkened, without a trace of a smile.

The moment Meng Die returned to her seat, a man with a full head of golden hair walked in first.

Behind him, several other foreigners followed into the lounge.

They all wore faint smiles on their faces.

The blond man in the lead smiled and said, "I am very sorry; we were delayed by some matters, keeping everyone waiting!"

After he finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on Old He's gloomy face.

"It's no matter, we only arrived a short while ago!"

"There are two minutes left until the agreed-upon time; you all arrived just in time!"

"If you had been two minutes later, you might not have seen us at all!"

Old He said this politely, but the meaning behind his words was already very clear.

If the agreed time arrived and he still hadn't seen them, Old He wouldn't stay for even one more second and would take everyone and leave immediately.

The blond man was taken aback for a moment, then immediately smiled.

"Yes, yes, yes, this time it was indeed our fault for not arriving earlier!"

"Since that's the case, then... shall we just start directly?"

After the blond man finished speaking, Lei Hu, who was sitting there, glanced back at him.

"This Martial Arts Exchange Conference was initiated by you. We don't even know what the content is yet, so how can we start? Start what? You need to make it clear, right?"

Lei Hu was straightforward and didn't mince words with him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately received agreement from the others.

After these foreigners arrived, it was as if they had usurped the role of the host.

They had become the masters of the place, while the representatives from the various schools sitting in the lounge seemed like guests who had traveled from afar.

Old He sat there without moving, his gaze fixed on those few foreigners.

Just at this moment, the representative from the Cherry Blossom Alliance walked over.

Smiling, he said, "It's like this, the content of this Martial Arts Exchange Conference is very simple; we have already formulated a few..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before the representative could finish speaking, Senior Brother Zhong Yan, who was sitting nearby, interrupted him.

"May I ask, which Alliance do you represent? You people from the Outer Alliances are being too impolite, aren't you?"

"Coming to someone else's home as a guest without even introducing yourselves, and then immediately formulating rules?"

"Isn't this a bit like usurping the role of the host?"

Senior Brother Zhong Yan usually seemed unreliable, but when it came to matters of stance, he was very clear.

Once these words were spoken, the few foreign representatives all exchanged glances.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was truly rude of us. I am the representative of the Cherry Blossom Alliance, Vice Principal of Shenwu University, my name is Ichiro Miyamoto, please treat me well!"

"Shenwu University? What a bold name!"

The name of their university was immediately met with mockery.

The person mocking him was none other than Chen Song, the principal of Shenquan University.

However, those few members of the Outer Alliances did not feel any anger because of Chen Song's words.

Instead, they all introduced themselves one by one.

"I am here representing the Eagle Alliance from Eagle God University, my name is Svenson!"

"Representative of the Sunset Alliance, Bowen from Holy Light University!"

"I am the representative of the Maple Leaf Alliance, Gussier from Paladin University!"

"I come from the Axi Alliance, representing Divine Tiger University, my name is Song Rentou!"

After they had all introduced themselves, the university representatives present could all see a look of arrogance in their eyes.

Some, like Song Rentou representing the Axi Alliance, were practically looking down their noses at people.

Facing this attitude of theirs, Old He smiled: "Since you are representatives of the Outer Alliances, our Huawu General Alliance cannot lose our manners!"

"Regarding this Martial Arts Exchange Conference, we have also formulated a few items!"

"The main focus is Martial Arts Exchange, which is also what you Outer Alliances wanted!"

"Besides that, there is also medical exchange, Talisman exchange, and Medicinal Pill exchange, which can also be brought up for discussion!"

"What do you all think?"

After Old He finished speaking, those members of the Outer Alliances all looked at each other.

Just as Svenson, the representative of the Eagle Alliance, was about to say something, Old He said directly: "Good, then it is decided!"

"I hope this Martial Arts Exchange of ours can conclude happily!"

"Everyone, let's head out!"

Without giving them any chance to speak, Old He stood up directly.

The other university representatives all walked outside as well.

Whether it was Professor Shi Wenxue from Lanshan University or Senior Brother Zhong Yan from Longhu Mountain, smiles appeared on their faces.

Medical exchange, Medicinal Pill exchange, and Talisman exchange.

Aren't these the specialties that Lanshan University and Longhu Mountain are best at?

Especially the Talisman and Medicinal Pill disciplines.

If Longhu Mountain claims second place, who dares to claim first?

Furthermore, Lanshan University's research in medicine is world-renowned.

Many famous physicians even came out of Lanshan University.

Just based on these two exchanges alone, those Outer Alliances have no advantage whatsoever.

However, after their brief anger, they immediately calmed down.

Although they had no advantage in the fields of Talismans and Medicinal Pills—especially in the discipline of Talisman making, where only the Axi Alliance and the Cherry Blossom Alliance had some involvement—compared to Longhu Mountain, it didn't even count as scratching the surface.

In terms of medicine, they could still compete.

But none of this was important; as long as there was Martial Arts Exchange, it would be enough.

Their purpose in coming to the Huawu General Alliance this time was also aimed at Martial Arts.

The few foreigners exchanged glances and followed them outside.
