The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 838 - : Long Zhiming

Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Long Zhiming

As for martial arts, Long Zhiming! As for alchemy, Long Zhixin!

The two most outstanding talents of the younger generation of the Long Family were a pair of siblings born to the same mother.

The elder brother, Long Zhiming, possessed an innate martial arts talent that was unparalleled, making him the foremost young expert of the Long Family. He had also forcefully entered the top five hundred in the first phase of the Nine Countries Talent ranking.

Long Zhixin, on the other hand, was an alchemy prodigy. Her martial arts talent was mediocre, so she did not participate in the Nine Countries Talent battle.

The Wuji Battle Temple welcomed a group from the Long Family, headed by none other than Long Zhiming.

Long Zhiming had a composed appearance. Although only twenty-nine, he possessed a maturity that belied his age. Dressed in a radiant purple battle armor, he arrived at the Wuji Battle Temple along with several dozen martial artists from the Long Family.

The sheer number of people from the Long Family compared to other alchemy families, who at most had three or four individuals capable of entering the top ten thousand of the Talent ranking, showed the Long Family could easily boast more than a dozen, clearly indicating their exceptional strength.

The arrival of Long Zhiming instantly changed the atmosphere in the Wuji Battle Temple. All the talents from the alchemy families within the grand hall, upon seeing Long Zhiming, acted humbly and with considerable reverence.

Even Ling Zhongri, Zhu Tianchuan, and Xu Kaitian showed him a great deal of respect.

Long Zhiming, however, did not display much arrogance. His expression was simply indifferent, as if he cared little for anything around him.

The other Long Family martial artists, however, more or less exhibited some degree of arrogance, for being born into the foremost alchemy family naturally made them feel superior.

“Sigh, the alchemy Long Family indeed commands respect,” Fang Lin and his two companions, seated in a corner, also observed the people from the Long Family.

Mo Yun snorted. Although he viewed the alchemy families with hostility, a figure like Long Zhiming was not someone Mo Yun would dare to meet eye to eye, as he felt a deep-seated fear from the bottom of his heart.

Dugu Nian curled his lip: “I’ve met Long Zhixin from the Long Family; wherever she goes, she struts around proud as a peacock.”

Fang Lin glanced at Dugu Nian and chuckled, “Aren’t you too a young miss from a great family? Why criticize someone else then?”

Dugu Nian snorted: “I’m nothing like those people, so arrogant.”

The corner of Fang Lin’s mouth twitched. The first time he met Dugu Nian, she was as arrogant and unruly as they come. It was only after being sternly disciplined by Fang Lin several times that she became as tame as she was now.

Long Zhiming’s eyes were piercing as he scanned the crowd. When his gaze fell upon Fang Lin in the corner, it lingered for a moment.

However, it was just a lingering glance before Long Zhiming shifted his gaze away, seeming not to pay much attention to Fang Lin.

“Long, the three of us have a favor to ask of you,” Ling Zhongri and his companions approached Long Zhiming, with Ling Zhongri cautiously saying.

Long Zhiming’s brows furrowed slightly, “What is it?”

Ling Zhongri immediately said, “We hope that you, Long, will take action to expel Fang Lin from the Wuji Battle Temple. This person repeatedly insulted our alchemy families and even arrogantly crushed the wrist of brother Xu, making it intolerable for him to remain here.”

Hearing this, Long Zhiming glanced at Xu Kaitian, who immediately spoke with resentment and anger, “Long, that Fang Lin is utterly detestable. He attacked us at the slightest disagreement, and he was the one who crushed my wrist.”

Long Zhiming swept a glance at Xu Kaitian’s wrist; it was indeed broken, a clear result of having been forcefully crushed by brute strength.

“With your strengths, you can’t even deal with that Fang Lin?” Long Zhiming said, his expression as still as ancient well water, seemingly without much interest.

Ling Zhongri replied, “That fellow’s strength is not to be underestimated, and he has many tricks up his sleeve. The three of us are far inferior to Long, so we hope that Long will take action and vent the frustration of our Alchemy Tao families.”

Zhu Tianchuan also immediately said, “Naturally, we wouldn’t expect Long to take action for nothing; a generous gift will be offered in return.”

“Ah, you are the Talents of the Alchemy Tao families, yet you can’t even handle a mere Fang Lin. It’s truly a disgrace,” sneered a young man from the Long Family standing behind Long Zhiming.

People from the Ling, Zhu, and Xu families were all angered in their hearts; the young man from the Long Family spoke too bluntly, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

“Zhiming Brother, isn’t it just a Fang Lin? Let me take him on and see if he’s as formidable as they say,” laughed the young man from the Long Family, seemingly very casual about it.

Upon hearing this, although Ling Zhongri and the others held some dissatisfaction toward this young man from the Long Family, they were secretly pleased. Even if it wasn’t Long Zhiming himself taking action, any member of the Long Family stepping in would do just the same.

If this young man from the Long Family defeated Fang Lin, it would be considered avenging them; if he lost to Fang Lin, Long Zhiming would certainly step in to save face.

Regardless of winning or losing, Fang Lin would definitely have to confront the Long Family.

Long Zhiming glanced at the young man from the Long Family, not saying a word, neither opposing nor granting permission.

“If Zhiming Brother doesn’t object, then I’m heading out,” the young man from the Long Family said with a grin, starting to walk toward where Fang Lin and his group were.

The other members of the Long Family all wore relaxed smiles, seemingly unworried by the actions of the young man.

The others present looked at Fang Lin’s group with pity. A member of the Long Family had made a move; he might not be the formidable Long Zhiming, but the others from the Long Family were also not to be trifled with, especially this young man, who seemed to be one of the strongest among the group from the Long Family.

“Fang Lin, it seems like someone from the Long Family is coming to trouble us,” Mo Yun said, seeing the young man approaching with a smiling face, frowning and speaking softly to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin glanced over, then closed his eyes again, speaking lightly, “No need to pay him any mind.”

Dugu Nian just sneered continuously, “Be careful, or you might end up beaten by the Long Family and unable to get back up.”

Fang Lin chuckled lightly, “Since you say so, why don’t you fight on behalf of your master? After all, I’ve also taught you Shaking Three Mountains and Triple Dragon Fire Refining; it wouldn’t be right for you not to exert yourself.”

Dugu Nian pouted, “I’m not going to be your scapegoat. You want a girl to fight on your behalf, and you’re not even ashamed to say it?”

Fang Lin said with a light smile, “Isn’t it only right for a disciple to fight on behalf of their master?”

Dugu Nian huffed, “I’m not your disciple, I’ve never acknowledged it.”

Fang Lin shook his head, sighing repeatedly, “Truly an unworthy disciple.”

Mo Yun was beside himself on the side, begging you two to be serious for once, please. The people from the Long Family clearly mean business, and you’re still rambling. Is this really the time?

The young man from the Long Family walked over briskly, pointing arrogantly at the three and saying, “Which one of you is Fang Lin? Come out and have a little spar with me.”

Instantly, all eyes turned towards them, most with a schadenfreude expression, while only a few thought the Long Family was being too overbearing.
