Silence. A deathly silence.
Anger. A silent, suppressed anger. At least in this moment, the entire nation was in the grip of anger.
The number one person in Huaxia, to think he was actually trampled underfoot by a foreigner, and then called trash to his face.
This was no longer just an insult to Qing Mang alone, nor was it merely humiliating him alone.
But at the same time, a sense of despair was rising. How powerful was Qing Mang? But now he had been beaten like a dog.
Suppressed anger. That disappointment grew ever more intense.
“I am not resigned to this!”
“Could it be that in our mighty Huaxia, not a single person can come out and deal with this bastard foreigner?”
Many people in front of their television sets were so furious they smashed their TVs.
This was even more infuriating and despair-inducing than losing a football match.
The entire nation stared fixedly at this scene on their television screens. This was a national disgrace.
“Who, who can go and fight this grandson for me?” someone roared.
After a long while, they sighed again.
Who else could there be? Qing Mang was the number one person in Huaxia. If even he was powerless to fight back, then who else was there?
“Hmph, so this is the number one person in Huaxia?” Hailong’s cold smile grew ever more intense.
“No wonder they called you the Sick Man of East Asia back then!”
“Hahaha, you truly make me look down on you!” Hailong’s mocking voice was unrestrained to the extreme, directly acting so brazenly in front of the camera, in front of the entire nation.
“I am afraid you are not qualified to say that.”
Just when everyone was so aggrieved they were in despair, a calm voice suddenly rang out.
Who?
Everyone was startled.
The entire nation was also stunned.
That group of cowards on the scene, not one dared to make a sound.
Who dared to speak to Hailong like this at this moment?
“Who? Come out and say that to me if you have the guts.” Hailong sneered. He truly looked down on this country, truly looked down on these people.
The so-called number one expert was really pathetically weak.
“Luo Wuji!”
The voice was not loud, but it was very clear.
Then the people on the scene saw a young man slowly walk out.
And because of the camera angle, the entire nation could only see a back view.
Luo Wuji? What was he stepping out for at this time?
Originally, many people had felt a glimmer of hope, but when they heard that name, they suddenly lost hope again.
They had thought a master had arrived.
It turned out to be Luo Wuji.
Luo Wuji did not even dare to accept Qing Mang’s challenge letter, avoiding Qing Mang’s challenges several times. Today, Qing Mang had even come to his door.
He was not even a match for Qing Mang. Stepping out at this moment was merely adding one more person to be humiliated.
“Could it be that in our vast Huaxia, there is truly no one left?” Many people showed expressions of despair.
“Your number one person in Huaxia has been trampled under my feet, and you actually dare to say I am not qualified?” Hailong looked at Luo Chen, his face equally full of disdain.
“I said you are not qualified, so you are not qualified!” Luo Chen’s voice was very calm. Although the entire nation could only see Luo Chen’s back, this sentence was heard clearly.
“Quick with your tongue. Look at your number one person in Huaxia?”
“Trampled under my feet, like a dog. This is your number one person in Huaxia?”
“Saying you are the Sick Man of East A…”
“Bang!”
A simple, plain slap.
Luo Chen’s slap was very slow. At least the camera could capture it clearly.
But with this slap, Hailong did not dodge it.
With this slap, Hailong did not block it either.
“Thud!”
Like the earth shaking and mountains trembling.
When the dust settled, that insufferably arrogant Hailong’s half body was nearly mangled. The entire person was twitching and trembling incessantly.
Luo Chen likewise had one foot stepping on Hailong’s head, just as Hailong had stepped on Qing Mang a moment ago.
“Just a dog. With what right do you look down on my Huaxia?”
“Now you tell me, who is trash?”
“Now you tell me, what is a sick man?”
“I said you are not worthy. Do you still have an objection?”
Quiet. Quiet to the extreme.
Not only was the scene quiet to the extreme.
The entire nation in front of their television sets was also quiet to the extreme.
After a long while, someone took a deep breath, then rubbed their eyes.
“Wife, am I seeing things?”
“One slap?”
“It should be right!”
“Brother, are you sure this isn’t fake?”
“Master, was that really Luo Wuji?”
“Are we not dreaming?”
Everyone in front of their television sets could not believe it.
Was this the Luo Wuji who had been avoiding battle all along? Was this really certain?
How formidable was Qing Mang? His entrance just now had shocked everyone. Many had even thought he was an immortal.
And this foreigner Hailong had beaten Qing Mang like a dog, completely powerless to resist.
But now, Hailong had been directly slapped to the ground by Luo Chen with one blow. Forget resisting, he seemed unable to even speak now.
An uproar. The entire nation instantly burst into an uproar.
“So this is the Luo Wuji you said wasn’t even fit to carry Qing Mang’s shoes?”
“Which bastard said that? Come out and say it again if you dare!”
“So this is the Luo Wuji who was rumoured far and wide to have been avoiding Qing Mang?”
“Who dares come out and say it again? Does someone like this need to avoid Qing Mang?”
There was no longer any need to question or argue anything. After all, the entire nation were not blind.
“Domineering. This is fucking true domineering!”
“This is the true number one person in Huaxia!”
“Which bastard said Qing Mang was the number one person in Huaxia?”
“Blind eyes, or a sick brain?”
“Satisfying. This is the true might of my Huaxia!”
The entire nation was cursing, all very excited.
With one move, Luo Chen simply delivered one slap, like swatting a mosquito, and directly slapped Hailong, who had violently beaten Qing Mang, to the ground.
“In our vast Huaxia, dragons and tigers lie hidden. Just a dog, and you dare run wild in my Huaxia?” Luo Chen let out a cold laugh, looking at the heavily injured Hailong.
Hailong’s face was full of disbelief. His consciousness was nearly fading.
He could not even block one slap. This person’s strength was absolutely capable of fighting the Wolf King on equal terms.
He did not hate Luo Chen. He only hated the people before him.
Who the hell is the number one person in Huaxia? You Huaxia people yourselves don’t even know clearly?
Qing Mang likewise looked at Luo Chen in disbelief, then looked at Hailong.
He had always believed he could crush Luo Wuji, could step on Luo Wuji and directly ascend to the pinnacle of Huaxia.
But now, he understood. The gap was too great.
Or was there even any comparability?
In front of the entire nation, he, Qing Mang, had been violently beaten by a foreigner, losing all face for Huaxia.
In the end, Luo Wuji came out. A light, simple slap. Brutal and direct. He directly restored Huaxia’s dignity.
This great enemy that Qing Mang was completely powerless against was likewise powerless in front of Luo Wuji.
They were simply not on the same level.
“You had this strength all along. Why have you consistently refused to fight me?”
“Are you worthy?” Luo Chen spoke coldly.
Three words. Are you worthy?
The entire nation heard it clearly. Qing Mang also heard it clearly.
This was not humiliation. This was the truth.
Indeed, are you worthy?
Not worthy!
You, Qing Mang, cannot even defeat Hailong, and you are worthy of challenging Luo Chen? After all, even someone like Hailong was merely a matter of one slap in front of Luo Chen. If even an international titan like Hailong was not worthy, how much less you, Qing Mang?
In this moment, the entire nation instantly understood. Qing Mang’s clamouring challenge to Luo Chen had, from beginning to end, merely been a joke.
A one-man show by a jumping clown!
The live broadcast was cut off, because what followed was certainly not something that could be made public.
The moment the broadcast was cut, everyone in front of their television sets was looking at that back view that was domineering to the extreme.
In this moment, they understood who the person standing at the pinnacle of Huaxia, the true number one person in Huaxia, truly was.
And in the same moment the broadcast was cut, Luo Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at the heads of the various major families, Li Tianyou, Lan Feihu, looked at those big shots, Lu Jianguo, Yu Xinghe, and the others.
“Your reliance?” Luo Chen said with mockery, pointing at the half-dead Qing Mang on the ground.
