Lin Long’s expression turned ugly at this moment.

Because he could feel the opponent resisting him, and now the opponent’s strength seemed very strong, giving him an overwhelming sense of oppression.

This must be an illusion, right? He had been at the Spring Autumn Academy for so long, could he really not match up to someone who hadn’t even entered the Academy yet?

So Lin Long increased the strength in his hand.

But it seemed to have no effect.

Tang Zhong stood there calmly, as if nothing was happening, and the strength in his hand was gradually increasing.

But it was Lin Long’s expression that grew more and more unsightly, his hand now gripped painfully by the other.

The people beside were watching the two shake hands.

Lin Long and the others knew Lin Long was trying to embarrass the boy, but at this moment, they saw sweat on Lin Long’s forehead.

This was a bit strange.

In their eyes, dealing with the opponent should be extremely simple for Senior Lin Long.

"Senior Lin Long, what are you doing?"

Lin Long was at a loss for words, knowing he couldn’t outgrip the opponent, revealing this would only bring shame?

He could only force a smile.

Looking at Lin Hu beside him, he said, "It’s nothing, how could there be anything wrong?"

The next second, Tang Zhong increased the strength in his hand.

Lin Long looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Lin Hu quickly asked, "Big brother Long, are you really okay?"

He thought Lin Long would be fine, after all, with Lin Long’s ability, how could he not win against the other?

Then he turned to Tang Zhong and said, "You seem to be faking it, don’t you feel anything? I advise you to give up now."

In his opinion, Tang Zhong had to be pretending, because he had seen many people shake hands with Lin Long, each ending up bedridden for half a month.

Tang Zhong chuckled and said, "It’s okay, what am I pretending to be? I’m not pretending anything."

Lin Hu smiled and said, "You’re really stubborn."

Then he glanced at Lin Long, seemingly signaling something to him.

His eyes kept moving, indicating Lin Long should use more force.

Lin Long received it, but at this moment, he was truly speechless because no matter how much force he used, he couldn’t make the opponent feel pain.

Instead, every time he added more power, he felt his own hand hurt.

Can this strength rebound?

Seeing this, Qin Chuchu seemed to remember something, and immediately said to Tang Zhong, "Yi Zhong, are your hands okay?"

She recalled past events.

Those who shook hands with Lin Long usually ended up hospitalized.

She was afraid the same would happen to Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong heard the question and laughed, "What could happen to me? Naturally, nothing."

Qin Chuchu couldn’t believe it, but seeing Tang Zhong was fine, she relaxed and said, "Aren’t you two tired of shaking hands for so long?"

Tang Zhong smiled and said, "Not tired at all, not a bit."

Qin Chuchu then looked at Lin Long and said, "Senior Lin, what’s wrong? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead? It’s not even hot right now."

Lin Long was at a loss for words.

Among them, he was the strongest, but he couldn’t even outgrip the opponent.

If he admitted he couldn’t do it now, wouldn’t that be more shameful?

So he forced himself to endure, smiled through the pain, and said, "Of course, nothing’s wrong, maybe it’s just a hot day."

Saying this, he wiped his sweat with his other hand.

Both Lin Hu and Mu Qianqian were puzzled; when they came back earlier, Big Brother Lin Long wasn’t like this, saying he would embarrass this guy, yet now he was like this.

How can that be?

They felt it necessary to remind Big Brother Lin Long.

Lin Hu immediately said beside him, "Brother Lin Long, did you forget what I told you earlier?"

He spoke to remind Big Brother Lin Long to act quickly, preferably making the opponent’s end unbearable.

When Lin Long heard this, he wanted to strangle Lin Hu, wondering why he had to bring this up now.

He just wanted to let go of Tang Zhong’s hand now, planning to address other matters after he was freed.

But with Lin Hu’s words, he couldn’t let go; doing so would mean he was conceding, which wouldn’t reflect well on his reputation.

But keeping up appearances was more comfortable than taking a beating.

He looked at Tang Zhong and said, "Brother, your grip is incredibly strong. I feel like I’m witnessing a new star rising in Spring Autumn Academy."

He subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, feeling it would turn to mush if he didn’t.

But Tang Zhong’s hand was like a chain, keeping him from moving.

Lin Long gritted his teeth, trying to pull, and felt like his arm would split just from the strain.

He understood now, the person before him was doing it deliberately.

Lin Long gritted his teeth, stared at Tang Zhong, and whispered, "You better let me go, or I’ll make you suffer to death."

He didn’t know where Tang Zhong came from, but he knew Tang Zhong would be afraid, especially considering his current status as a senior, to order the opponent.

Just after Lin Long said this, he noticed Tang Zhong hesitate and thought he was considering it. Striking while the iron was hot, he said coldly, "Once we’re at the Spring Autumn Academy, I have a hundred ways to make you die; you’d best let me go, or you’ll regret it."

When Tang Zhong heard this, he grinned, and his hand’s grip grew stronger.

Lin Long’s earlier sneer turned into a grimace in an instant.

He felt like his hand was about to split open.

The bones inside began to twist, as if they could break at any moment.

Then Tang Zhong suddenly exerted more force, and Lin Long, unable to maintain composure, turned red in the face, trying hard not to cry out.

But ultimately, he couldn’t hold it anymore.

He cried out miserably.

"Let me go, let me go."

Everyone around was stunned.

Lin Hu and the others were even more surprised; usually, this scene played out on Lin Long’s opponents, but what was this now?

At that moment, Lin Long fell to his knees, crying in agony.

Tang Zhong released his grip, as if nothing had happened, and looked at Qin Chuchu beside him, "Let’s go, where’s the Academy? Take me there now."

Qin Chuchu was stunned, shocked at Lin Long, and said to Tang Zhong, "He won’t be in trouble, will he?"
