Chapter 867 -867: Shocking punch

“If I were on par with him in terms of realm, perhaps we could consider it a draw, but this time, I lost,” Long Zhiming said, his expression was very calm, as if he were talking about something completely unrelated to himself.

Upon hearing Long Zhiming’s words, everyone present fell into a silence, even the members of the Long Family had nothing to say.

Long Zhiming was indeed right; if Fang Lin and Long Zhiming were equal in realms, then this bout could indeed be considered a draw.

But what was the reality? Fang Lin had just stepped into the Spirit Vein realm not many days ago, while Long Zhiming was already approaching the strength of the Spirit Bone realm, and there was an ignorable gap between their levels.

In such a situation where Long Zhiming still couldn’t suppress Fang Lin, what would the picture look like if Fang Lin continued to grow and reached the same level as Long Zhiming?

Most likely, the one who would lose would be Long Zhiming, not Fang Lin.

“You won,” Long Zhiming said as he returned his twisted arm back to its original state, looking as if it were completely unhurt, to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, the bloody and fuzzy wounds on his fists also quickly healing.

“I didn’t win; you didn’t lose,” Fang Lin said seriously.

Long Zhiming took a deep look at Fang Lin, “I, Long Zhiming, can look past victory and defeat. Losing is losing, winning is winning, there’s nothing more to say. In this bout, I clearly had the advantage. Your failure to be overwhelmed by me means you’ve already won against me.”

Without a trace of pretense, Long Zhiming was extremely indifferent to winning or losing, as if he had foreseen such an outcome.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin had nothing more to say and came to respect Long Zhiming even more.

Not everyone can be as frank and carefree as Long Zhiming; at least among the so-called young geniuses Fang Lin had seen, Long Zhiming must be the most outstanding of them all.

It was not just in terms of Martial Arts strength, but also in character and breadth of mind, Long Zhiming was far more magnanimous than many so-called geniuses.

The members of the Long Family, on the other hand, looked quite displeased. They did not want Long Zhiming to lose to anyone, especially not to Fang Lin.

But since Long Zhiming had said so himself, they, being members of the Long Family, could not make any further comments.

Long Xunhai looked at Fang Lin with a complex and reluctant expression, mixed with a trace of shock.

He had fought against Fang Lin before and lost, naturally feeling very unreconciled.

But now, seeing Fang Lin being able to withstand a punch from Long Zhiming and even injuring him, it was somewhat frightening.

If before Long Xunhai was very much dissatisfied with Fang Lin, wanting to get back at him, now Long Xunhai didn’t dare to confront Fang Lin anymore, because he knew that he was no longer a match for Fang Lin, and to seek trouble with Fang Lin would only be to make himself uncomfortable.

“Elder Huang, give him the ring,” Long Zhiming said to Elder Huang, not even giving a glance at the sapphire ring and acting as if he did not care at all about the treasure capable of killing a Spirit Bone warrior.

However, Fang Lin was quite perturbed inside. If this ring was indeed as powerful as Long Zhiming claimed, then it undoubtedly deserved to be called a trump card.

With this treasure in hand, even if Fang Lin faced off against a Spirit Bone realm powerhouse, he would now have the ability to protect himself, not like before when any Spirit Bone powerhouse could easily crush him.

Elder Huang looked at Long Zhiming and, seeing that he truly did not care about the sapphire ring, handed over the ring along with the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear to Fang Lin.

This scene made everyone present show a look of envy that was beyond words.

The Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear was nothing special, but that sapphire ring was far too precious.

Even among those great clans and powerful forces, such treasures were rarely found.

And such a bargain had once again fallen into Fang Lin’s lap.

Fang Lin first put away the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear, then took the sapphire ring in his hand and examined it closely, his face brimming with a smile.

“Not bad, not bad at all. Truly a fine treasure. Long really is generous, worthy of being the number one martial arts genius of the Long Family,” Fang Lin remarked.

Long Zhiming turned around, looked at Fang Lin, and said, “What do you say? Become my follower, and you will have even more treasures.”

Fang Lin chuckled and shook his head, “I like treasures, but following you, let’s not talk about that.”

Long Zhiming hummed in response, not saying much more, as if he hadn’t held out much hope for Fang Lin to become his follower.

“See, I told you Fang Lin could definitely win,” Dugu Nian finally let out a breath of relief, proudly saying to the people around her.

The people around her were speechless, but Fang Lin’s strength had indeed shocked them. The fact that he was able to withstand a punch from Long Zhiming and even injure him was enough for Fang Lin to be proud.

Fang Lin put the sapphire ring on his finger, showing it off quite smugly, which infuriated the people of the Long Family.

“The rest of you, if you want to spar, you can do so on your own, but remember to stop at the first touch. Someone will come to fetch you from here in three days,” Elder Huang said.

In the following three days, there were continuous spars, but no one troubled Fang Lin.

The reason was simple; the exchange of punches with Long Zhiming had made everyone aware of Fang Lin’s prowess. Who would dare to trouble him now? That would be simply asking for a beating.

There were actually some who chose to spar with Dugu Nian, and it seemed not so much a spar but an excuse to get close to her.

Without exception, these people were effortlessly defeated by Dugu Nian.

Dugu Nian displayed astonishing strength; with just a zither, she defeated many opponents, not allowing them much room to fight back.

Fang Lin had been watching the sparring process involving Dugu Nian. Witnessing her take action, he was also profoundly shaken.

It seemed Dugu Nian had inherited something truly extraordinary. The power within her music was immense, and Fang Lin admitted that he would probably suffer if he faced her music.

“What about it? Does anyone else wish to challenge me?” Dugu Nian, having defeated many opponents, looked around at the crowd with evident pride.

Those who had originally harbored thoughts about Dugu Nian immediately dismissed any such ideas, seeing such a formidable young lady as being rather unapproachable.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Flying Boats from all directions converged, some dispatched by the various halls of the Pill Alliance, the others belonging to families of the Alchemy Tao.

The most majestic of them all was like a dragon boat, soaring through the sky; it was the Flying Boat of the Long Family.

Another, though not as grand as the Long Family’s Flying Boat, also held a presence of its own, flying a large banner emblazoned with a big “Ling” character.
