Fade smiled and said, "You're welcome. Your advancement is mainly because of your profound background. I'm just the icing on the cake."

"Without your positive energy, it would have taken me at least three or four months to advance to the next level. Thank you so much, Mr. Chen," Riccardo said. After that, he bowed to Fade again.

Fade stopped him and said with a smile, "You don't have to do that. Since we are all on the same side, you can just call me by my name."

"Well, I'd better call you Brother Chen!" Riccardo said.

"Okay!" Fade smiled and then put his arm around Riccardo's shoulder. "Come, let us welcome you properly."

"Okay!" Riccardo's face was full of joy as he followed Fade and left.

Behind them, the students, whose faces were full of surprise, suddenly started to discuss what had happened at this moment.

"It's Lundie. He used his positive energy to help Riccardo to advance!" A student said.

"He's so powerful. He's Lundie indeed!" Another student said.

"This would save him several months of cultivation time, which is equivalent to a cultivation resource worth millions of yuan! Lundie is really generous!" One of the students exclaimed.

"I should have agreed just now. If he had given me the same thing, I might have advanced as well," a tall student spoke up.

"Yeah, I hesitated and missed this opportunity," another student agreed.

Many students regretted their decision at that moment. Some of them were even ready to catch up with Fade and sign up for the Combat Readiness Committee.

Satria's face turned ashen as he roared angrily and chased all the students away. "Shut up and go back. Don't talk nonsense here."

Then, he flung his hand and left with a flick of his sleeve in anger.

Although Satria tried his best to suppress this matter, he still couldn't hide it. It was leaked out. The video of bundle recruiting students for the Combat Readiness Committee spread on the Internet quickly. Therefore, related discussions suddenly surged on the Internet.

In particular, Riccardo, the talented student of the Capital Martial Arts Academy, was determined to join the Combat Readiness Committee, causing countless netizens to applaud.

Of course, Riccardo's senior, Satria, the genius of the Capital Martial Arts Academy, was said to be cold-blooded and selfish, and he attracted a lot of scolding.

There were even many people on the Internet who claimed that it was ridiculous that the Capital Martial Arts Academy, as the top military school in the capital, did not allow students to fight against foreign enemies. If that was the case, it was better to demolish the school. The large number of cultivation resources consumed by the school could be distributed to countless enthusiastic martial artists.

These arguments became more and more heated. Not only the Capital Martial Arts Academy, but also Heroine Academy and the National Military School were also brought in. Numerous netizens cursed them endlessly and their reputations were completely ruined. The three martial arts academies quickly responded and jointly issued a notice.

It was said that what happened at Thunder Hall this time was only a personal grudge against bundle, not a national feud. Therefore, the three martial arts academies did not encourage students to join in the fight.

At the same time, when the announcement was issued, the three principals, Yose, Vincci, and Zander, did not waste any time. They gathered the higher-ups and held more than one meeting. It was unknown how they found those laws.

They were persuaded that Lundie was doing himself a favor by fighting Thunder Hall with the Combat Readiness Committee. Hence, they wanted him to stop seeking power for private gains immediately.

They even sued Lundie, which caused rounds of debates and hot discussions on the Internet.

Although countless people were angry with this, Yose, who was in charge of the media and the top management, arranged it casually and suppressed the voices of the netizens.

Then, they broadcasted relevant news relating to Lundie using power for his private gains day after day.

During this period, his reputation had been greatly influenced.

In addition to a group of Abraham's fans, the two sides gathered together and set off debates on the Internet again and again.

People saw him as someone who played dirty with power.

The reputation of the Combat Readiness Committee was also implicated and it suffered a lot of doubts.

Some people said that bundle had set up an organization for personal gain and it was not as good as it was publicized.

Some even questioned the

authenticity of the foreign martial arts forces' joint attack on the news. It was said that this was caused by the Martial Arts Committee and Green Wood Hall in order to expand their own forces.

These rumors were constantly spread on the Internet and were out of control.

The curses about Yose, Satria, and the Martial Arts Alliance were strictly controlled on the Internet.

No one would believe that the Martial Arts Alliance didn't exert force behind their backs.

However, what made people feel helpless was that most of the rights of the country were still in the hands of the Martial Arts Alliance. The Martial Arts Committee and Green Wood Hall did not really have much power.

For a moment, the Combat Readiness Committee started to drift like a small boat caught in a storm.

This made Riccardo, who had just joined the Combat Readiness Committee, anxious. Hence, he took the initiative to look for Fade.

With his eyes turning red, he stood in front of Fade and said, "Brother Chen, these media outlets have gone too far. They are distorting the truth. They're slandering you."

"I will go online and clarify things for you, Brother Chen," he suggested.

Looking at Riccardo, who was furious, Fade smiled and waved his hand, "There's no need to do that."

"But if it continues, Brother Chen, your reputation will be ruined," Riccardo said anxiously.

Fade smiled, squinted into the distance, and said slowly, "Perhaps there are some powers that can temporarily suppress the will of the people, but the real voice of the people can never be suppressed."

"But now, under the influence of

these comments, our preparations for the Combat Readiness

Committee are not going well. Some of the members who have joined can't stand these comments and are applying to quit," Riccardo said.

Fade was still indifferent. "If they want to quit, let them. There's no point in forcing them to stay."

"But..." Riccardo was anxious.

Fade stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll handle it. Practice hard and improve your strength." After that, he turned around and left.

Later, in less than a day, Riccardo understood what Fade said.

In the face of various negative public opinions and doubts on the Internet, Fade directly issued an announcement.

He made it clear that he would not use the strength of the Combat Readiness Committee to resolve the request of Thunder Hall.

As soon as this announcement was sent out, it immediately attracted great attention.

Countless people applauded Lundie and praised him for being responsible.

Of course, some people were worried about him. After all, Thunder Hall was not easy to deal with. If he went alone, no one knew if he could come back alive. However, all in all, there was finally less negative news.
