Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Blades flashing and swords clashing?

Of course, there was none of that.

In fact, aside from the thrilling scene created by the outer leakage of True Qi from the two Great Grandmasters earlier, the following contests seemed quite ordinary.

In the entire hall, there were a total of ten half-step Grandmasters. Apart from Zhang Yonghe, the 26th successor of Wuxing Fist, who was a newly promoted half-step Grandmaster, most of the others were old-timers who had been well-known for a long time. They might have had some insights from the earlier matches between Jiang Dingnan and Lei Ting, and considering the rarity of this opportunity to spar with their peers and seek a breakthrough, they treasured it greatly.

Despite the platform being riddled with holes from the match between the two Great Grandmasters, it didn't diminish the enthusiasm of the two combatants now on stage.

The Monkey Fist expert He Guangyu from Jiangnan and the Golden Bell Shield expert from Dali faced each other, trading blow for blow with fierce and resolute moves—not at all like the restrained sparring of their usual practice.

Though their duel might not have had the grandeur of the Great Grandmasters just before, it was still flesh and blood striking, especially with the Monkey Fist expert He Guangyu's agile movements; each time he threw a punch, there was a sound of air being torn.

The expert from Dali was also formidable, his Golden Bell Shield was highly refined. With his opponent's agility, he was still unable to break through his defense for the time being.

The two half-step Grandmasters poured in all their effort, partly inspired by the previous battle, but also because they were surrounded by experts, in particular with two martial arts Great Grandmasters watching from below the platform. They, too, hoped to receive some pointers from the Great Grandmasters, so they spared no effort!

Below the platform, Chu Mo, sitting in the chief seat, had a hint of curiosity in his eyes. To be honest, this was his first time truly facing and feeling the charm of martial arts. Even in the underground boxing championship in Zhongzhou City, the match between Fan Gao and Lei Ting was quickly settled after the interference of the wealthy heiress Liu Manli, and Lei Ting, who was emotionally compromised, was defeated swiftly. And when Fan Gao faced the Great Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan, the latter didn't hold back and beat him with a single strike, so Chu Mo didn't have much of an impression at that time.

Now, watching two evenly matched half-step Grandmasters duel, this was his first time witnessing combat of this caliber. The continuous shouts from the sides and the gusts of wind from their punches showcased their strength.

However, compared to the bout above, the platform littered with deep holes in front of him was of even greater interest to him.

When he had entered the hall earlier, Jiang Dingnan had ceased his fight voluntarily, so Chu Mo hadn't seen the match between the two Great Grandmasters. But the numerous pits the size of a face on the platform were enough to make Chu Mo very intrigued.

What kind of strength does it take to kick such deep pits into a concrete floor?

This force was enough to punch through walls, not to mention if it were to hit a human body... the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was only now that Chu Mo somewhat understood why martial arts Great Grandmasters had such an exalted status. Even powerful families like the top eight clans wouldn't dare to provoke them lightly.

Imagine if a person were targeted by a martial arts Great Grandmaster, even if they had a hundred bodyguards, the safety of that person could probably not be guaranteed.

At this moment, Chu Mo felt somewhat relieved, grateful that he had established a good relationship with the Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan early on. Chu Mo believed that if he hadn't bound such a great master to his side, someone as proud as Lei Ting would never have submitted to him.

It was Jiang Dingnan's presence that allowed Lei Ting to step down from pride; after all, even Jiang Dingnan, one of Hua Country's top ten Grandmasters, was willing to work with Chu Mo. Therefore, it wasn't shameful for Lei Ting to place himself second.

"President Chu, Wu Pengkun's Golden Bell Shield has reached an extremely refined level. He has a high reputation in Dali. Honestly speaking, for our bodyguard industry, the Golden Bell Shield is a very suitable martial art—all we do is take bullets for our employers. If we could recruit Wu Pengkun to our Guangsha Bodyguard Company... it would be like adding wings to a tiger!"

Chu Mo's side, Fang Fugui, the head of the Fang family of Capital City, leaned slightly and whispered in Chu Mo's ear.

Being the chairman of Fang's bodyguard company and one of the top four forces in the bodyguard industry of Capital City with over four hundred professional bodyguards, Fang Fugui was a key figure Chu Mo was seeking to woo, hence he was seated very close to Chu Mo's left.

Chu Mo was intent on creating his own bodyguard company and establishing a foothold in Capital City. He originally planned to have the Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan serve as the honorary chairman of Guangsha Bodyguard Company. However, as a Great Grandmaster, Jiang Dingnan was destined not to stay in Capital City indefinitely. Such a figure couldn't be expected to constantly fuss over a simple bodyguard company, so the Guangsha Bodyguard Company still needed to find a reliable core strength.

Chu Mo had originally intended for the Fang family's half-step Grandmaster to take this role, but now, having seen the array of experts in the hall, Chu Mo had some other ideas in mind.

In the hall, besides his own companions, there were six half-step Grandmasters sitting across from him. Each of these individuals was formidable, and even the Golden Bell Shield expert Wu Pengkun's presence was no less imposing than Jiang Tao, the president of the detective agency behind him. If Chu Mo could recruit such people to his side, his influence would truly increase again.

Chu Mo quickly pondered in his heart. He tilted his head slightly and asked Fang Fugui beside him:
