The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1130 - Chapter 1130 Chapter 1129 Battle with Long Zhiming Again

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1129: Battle with Long Zhiming Again Chapter 1130: Chapter 1129: Battle with Long Zhiming Again Fang Lin noticed a change in Mr. Long Jiu’s expressions while he was toasting with a few talents from the Long Family. Although somewhat puzzled and unaware of what had transpired, he figured it was likely a private matter of the Long Family and had nothing to do with himself.

After the banquet, Fang Lin stayed to rest at the Long Family’s residence. After all, it wasn’t often that he visited as a guest, and it was natural to stay for a few days. To come and leave on the same day would have seemed dismissive of the Long Family.

Moreover, Fang Lin was curious about the Long Family and wanted to understand better this clan with the deepest foundations in Alchemy Tao.

“Lord Fang, would you be willing to spar with me?” Long Zhiming finally couldn’t hold back any longer and requested a sparring match with Fang Lin.

Long Zhiming had been harboring this request for quite a while. Ever since Fang Lin had arrived at the Long Family, he had wanted to spar with him but never had the chance, nor did he bring it up.

Now that the banquet was over, Long Zhiming hoped to take this opportunity to spar with Fang Lin on Martial Arts.

Mr. Long Jiu frowned and said, “Zhiming, Lord Fang defeated one of the Pill Alliance’s Nine Guards, Chu Heng, and possesses exceptional strength. How could you be his match?”

Long Zhiming clasped his fists and replied, “Lord Fang’s defeat of Chu Heng indeed surprised me, but I am confident that I am not inferior to Chu Heng in strength. Even if I am not a match for Lord Fang, I would still like to have a friendly exchange.”

Many of the Descendants of the Long Family also supported Long Zhiming, as he was the one with the highest Martial Arts talent among the younger generation of the Long Family, and they revered him greatly.

Fang Lin smiled slightly and stood up, “If Brother Zhiming is so inclined, then naturally I cannot refuse. However, since it is just a friendly spar, we should stop at the first strike and maintain good relations.”

Long Zhiming responded, “Of course, we’ll stop at the first strike. Please, Lord Fang.”

Thereupon, Fang Lin and Long Zhiming stepped outside the hall. There was plenty of space outside for the two of them to fully engage in battle without constraint.

Many people from the Long Family gathered around, buzzing with excitement to witness Lord Fang Lin, who had recently become quite prominent.

Of course, these people from the Long Family were more eager to see Long Zhiming demonstrate his prowess and defeat Fang Lin, which would then highlight the excellence of their own clan’s talent.

“Lord Jiu, will Brother be a match for Lord Fang?” Long Zhixin asked while standing beside Mr. Long Jiu.

Mr. Long Jiu replied with a light smile, “To be honest, your brother does not stand much of a chance. Lord Fang truly excels in both Alchemy and Martial Arts, and his strength is comparable to the Pill Alliance’s Nine Guards. In the Talent Tournament of the Nine Countries, he has never lost a battle.”

Unconvinced, Long Zhixin said, “Brother has never lost to anyone in the Talent Tournament of the Nine Countries as well.”

Mr. Long Jiu said with a smile, “Indeed, Zhiming has never lost to anyone, but Fang Lin’s strength has improved a lot since the Talent Tournament of the Nine Countries. Perhaps he has obtained some incredible opportunity. It would be very difficult for Zhiming to defeat him.”

In reality, Mr. Long Jiu’s words were already quite diplomatic, considering Long Zhiming was a genius from his own clan, and it wouldn’t be proper to be too blunt.

Holding a large halberd, Long Zhiming stood opposite Fang Lin, his stance solid, showing no hint of flaws or vulnerability.

Fang Lin gripped the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear, a mere ten steps away from Long Zhiming. His demeanor was fierce as if he and the spear in his hand were one.

Seeing the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear, several Descendants of the Long Family wore peculiar expressions. Originally the spear belonged to Long Zhiming, but after losing a wager in the Wuji Battle Temple, he had to concede it to Fang Lin.

Now that Fang Lin was using the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear to spar with Long Zhiming, it naturally felt odd to many of the Long Family’s descendants.

Long Zhiming also felt strange. The Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear was his usual weapon, but due to the lost wager, it ended up with Fang Lin.

Although Long Zhiming didn’t mind the loss of a weapon, seeing Fang Lin wielding that spear stirred some emotions within him.

“Lord Fang, may I ask, what level of cultivation have you reached now?” Long Zhiming did not rush to attack but instead posed a question.

Fang Lin smiled faintly, “It’s better for Long not to know, or it may easily affect your state of mind.”

Upon hearing Fang Lin say this, Long Zhiming did not inquire further. Regardless of Fang Lin’s level, he was determined to fight him. Otherwise, he could never find peace in his heart.

“Be careful!” Long Zhiming let out a low shout, stepping forward swiftly as a tiger descending a mountain, and the halberd in his hand posed a threat as if it could split the heavens and the earth, aiming straight for Fang Lin’s head.

Fang Lin was not afraid in the slightest, using his Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear to block in front of him. With a loud clang, many of the Descendants of the Long Family felt pain in their eardrums, and a violent aura burst forth.

Fang Lin’s face changed slightly as he felt the opponent’s strong power, causing a silent shock to surge in his heart.

Long Zhiming’s expression also turned serious. It was not a surprise that his full-force strike was blocked by Fang Lin, but the ease with which Fang Lin had done so was indeed unexpected to Long Zhiming.

Without any hesitation, Long Zhiming wielded his halberd like the wind, and Fang Lin’s spear moved as though chasing stars and moons. Both were demonstrating their true capabilities and engaged in fierce combat.

Boom Boom Boom Boom!!!

The continuous sound of collisions rang out. As neither was fighting barehanded, their conflict was particularly intense, the halberd and spear flying across each other in a dazzling display.

After several exchanges, Long Zhiming was certain that Fang Lin’s level in Martial Arts must be above the fifth rank of the Spirit Bone.

This fact was somewhat difficult for Long Zhiming to accept; he himself was only at the sixth rank of the Spirit Bone, and Fang Lin had been inferior to him in the past. But now, Fang Lin’s realm in Martial Arts was in no way inferior to his own.

There was also quite a bit of surprise on Fang Lin’s side.

The strength of Long Zhiming was beyond his expectations, and compared to their encounter at the Wuji Battle Temple, Long Zhiming had become unfathomably stronger.

Especially in terms of strength comparison, without using the Demon Bone, Fang Lin found he could not gain any advantage over Long Zhiming.

This was quite impressive; Fang Lin’s physique had been tempered multiple times, and most recently, it had been nurtured by Sacred Qi, far surpassing the level of Spirit Bone Martial Artists.

But Long Zhiming definitely didn’t have the same opportunities as Fang Lin, yet his physical strength was equally formidable.

However, it was understandable; with the Long Family’s heritage, Long Zhiming must have absorbed countless precious resources and built his foundation using various Body Refinement Pills.

“Brother Zhiming actually can’t gain the upper hand. This Lord Fang is truly formidable.”

“Even Chu Heng, one of the Nine Guards of the Pill Alliance, is not Lord Fang’s match, so he’s naturally no mediocre opponent.”

“I still believe that Brother Zhiming is a bit stronger.”

“I also believe in Brother Zhiming’s strength, but Lord Fang is not the kind of opponent that can be easily defeated.”

****

Many of the Descendants of the Long Family were discussing animatedly, with some marveling at Fang Lin’s strength and others believing in Long Zhiming’s victory.

Just then, the evenly matched situation suddenly changed.
