A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 860 The Fight for Supreme Grandmaster

Mo Wu-Ji panicked and didn't dare to say a word as the King of Fighters' angry voice reverberated through the atmosphere. He merely sat silently with his face pale.

Although Mo Wu-Ji was of high status and was deeply respected, he didn't dare put on any airs in front of the King of Fighters.

Firstly, Mo Gu-Cheng was considered his senior in the clan.

Secondly, the King of Fighters was the main reason that the Mo family could enjoy such high status in Yanjing and throughout the country. Also, Mo Gu-Cheng was one of the six legendary generals of the nation.

What did it mean to be a legendary general?

The generals were deemed pillars of the nation!

A long time ago, thirteen supreme grandmasters crossed the ocean and entered China, wanting to rule over their martial arts circle.

Back in the day, War God Castle had yet to be established.

The highest authority in the martial arts circle back then was the Ultimate Martial Arts Association.

However, those foreign masters killed all four of the directors of the association.

The mecca of the Chinese martial arts world, Ultimate Martial Arts Association at Mount Yan, was devastated by these foreigners overnight.

Also, they announced the fall of the Ultimate Martial Arts Association to the entire Chinese martial arts circle.

The foreign experts decreed themselves the highest martial arts authority of China!

In an instant, the entire nation mourned.

All the martial artists were filled with utter grief.

It felt as though their entire country and race were defeated.

However, six martial artists rose from nowhere in these times of darkness.

To turn the tides and save the crumbling nation!

They defeated the foreign threats.

Then they established War God Castle and rebuilt the Chinese martial arts circle.

Hence, they were proclaimed the pillars of the nation!

A country might choose to have atomic weapons for strategic reasons.

So in the same way, the six pillars of the nation were deemed the atomic weapons of the martial arts world.

Chinese martial arts continued to stand tall and flourish for years because of the six legendary generals!

Even though the King of Fighters hadn't deliberately done the Mo family any favors, he was a national hero and related to the clan. So nobody dared to touch the Mo family.

Mo Wu-Ji's father once told the Mo clan, "The King of Fighters alone is able to ensure that the Mo family will stand for a century!"

It went to show how influential a martial arts grandmaster was.

The clan managed to prosper for generations with just one supreme grandmaster.

So the Mo family was always thankful to the King of Fighters and treated him with reverence.

Not even Mo Wu-Ji dared to disrespect him despite being the head of the family.

"Enough, Gu-Cheng. You better watch what you're doing since a younger one from your family is still here. Aren't you worried about becoming a laughingstock if he catches you losing control of yourself like that?" consoled Sword Saint.

The King of Fighters waved his hand and sent Mo Wu-Ji out.

Mo Wu-Ji didn't have the right to listen to their conversation.

"Sword Saint, I'm not picking on him, but that brat is being too arrogant! Cocky people like him are no good for War God Castle. I will never agree to invite him to join War God Castle and bestow the title of supreme grandmaster on him! War God Castle can't suffer such a humiliation!" roared the King of Fighters furiously.

Sword Saint shook his head and laughed instead.

"Did you have to beat around the bush with me? You're going on and on because your son, Wu-Ya, was not promoted to supreme grandmaster. Don't worry. I watched Wu-Ya grow up, so I know full well how capable he is. After he returns from Japan, I will make him the seventh legendary general of War God Castle. Ye Fan is too young. He neither has the right temperament nor the capability to become a supreme grandmaster."

Sword Saint smiled.

Sword Saint was the Chairman of War God Castle, so in other words, he was the head of War God Castle and slightly more powerful than the other five legendary generals.

But of course, this happened only because Ye Qing-Tian gave up the position as he didn't like getting involved in the nitty-gritty of being a leader.

Or else, Ye Qing-Tian was the only man who deserved to be the Chairman of War God Castle, be it in terms of talent or prestige.

"What about the God of War? He seems intrigued by Ye Fan. He even came all the way to Mount Yan to talk to us about him. He also advised us to make Ye Fan the seventh supreme grandmaster. If the God of War learns of our decision, he would probably be upset, right?" said Mo Gu-

Cheng worriedly.

Conferring the title of supreme grandmaster was a serious matter which affected the fate of the country.

War God Castle had to vote internally before sending the proposal to the president for approval.

The process of conferring the title was very complicated.

So if Ye Fan became the seventh supreme grandmaster, his son had to wait for many years before he could get the title.

Also, the sooner they became the supreme grandmaster, the more resources they had access to.

Mo Gu-Cheng naturally wanted his son to become supreme grandmaster first.

"It will be fine. The God of War is a sensible man. Moreover, the boy from Jiangdong clearly isn't good enough. At best, he is simply a slightly more talented martial artist. We have seen plenty of such people in our time, but don't they all just end up disappearing? Not anyone can become a supreme grandmaster. If anyone disagrees, Wu-Ya can go to Jiangdong and have a duel with the brat. The God of War won't be able to oppose after Wu-Ya defeats him," said Sword Saint calmly.

His words were filled with contempt for Ye Fan, and he remained disinterested.

After all, Ye Fan had risen to fame too suddenly.

People instinctively felt that rising stars won acclaim mostly because of luck.

Before long, Ye Fan would go back to square one.

Mo Gu-Cheng slapped his thigh happily when he heard what Sword Saint said.

"Haha! Sword Saint, you're right. After my son beats Ye Fan, all the problems will be solved. Wu-Ya will be deserving of the title of supreme grandmaster when he tramples Ye Fan under his feet!" Mo Gu-Cheng chuckled.

Mo Gu-Cheng decided to get his son to immediately head to Jiangdong and invite Ye Fan to a duel the minute he got back.

Ye Fan had no clue about the conversation that transpired between the King of Fighters and Sword God about the title of supreme grandmaster.

But even if Ye Fan learned of this, he was probably disinterested in competing against Mo Wu-Ya to become a supreme grandmaster.

To put it bluntly, it was just a title.

Regardless of whether Ye Fan joined War God Castle or became supreme grandmaster, his prowess was evident.

Moreover, the status of the supreme grandmaster was both a matter of honor and responsibility.

If Ye Fan accepted the title, he was dutybound to defend the country in times of need.

Although Ye Fan had nothing against

protecting the nation, the title undoubtedly constrained him.

So Ye Fan didn't care about being conferred the title of supreme grandmaster.
