The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 839 - : Fang Lin Tells Fortunes
Chapter 839: Chapter 839: Fang Lin Tells Fortunes
Fang Lin raised his head, his face full of confusion as he looked at the man, “Brother, what is your esteemed surname?”
The crowd fell silent, dumbfounded. Did this guy really love playing dumb that much? Who didn’t know he was from the Long Family, he must be surnamed Long, what else could it be?
The young man from the Long Family seemed amused by this, his mouth curved upwards as he said, “Listen well, my name is Long Xunhai, remember it, it will haunt you for the rest of your life.”
However, upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s brows furrowed, and he shook his head repeatedly, “Brother Long, the name you’ve been given really isn’t very good. I have a slight understanding of the art of destiny and fortune-telling, may I resolve your doubts?”
Long Xunhai couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. What exactly was this fellow up to? He actually wanted to tell his fortune?
The others present each wore peculiar expressions, especially Dugu Nian and Mo Yun, who were completely baffled by Fang Lin’s actions.
What on earth was he trying to do? Everyone had this question in their minds, totally unable to fathom Fang Lin’s thoughts.
“Then tell me, why is my name not well chosen?” Long Xunhai seemed not in a hurry to clash with Fang Lin and asked.
Fang Lin nodded slightly, putting on a mysterious air, and said, “Firstly, Brother, your surname is excellent, but it’s a pity that you are named Xunhai. The dragon is a creature of the heavens, standing at the apex of all beings, yet the words ‘Xunhai’ are quite unfavorable, as if someone standing at the peak suddenly falls into an abyss, destined to limit Brother’s achievements. Although it may seem like you are riding the clouds to success now, eventually, you will fall a thousand miles and never reach the peak again.”
Upon these words, Long Xunhai’s expression changed abruptly, although he didn’t believe a word Fang Lin said, no one liked to hear unpleasant things, and hearing Fang Lin speak this way naturally caused him some discomfort.
“Nonsense!” Long Xunhai rebuked, looking coldly at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin shook his head and sighed, “Brother, listen to my advice. Although a person’s fate is predestined by heaven, there is also a saying that man can conquer destiny. If Brother were to change your name immediately, or leave the Long Family, perhaps you could avoid the fate I’ve just mentioned.”
Long Xunhai sneered, “Good one, Fang Lin, your talent for spouting nonsense is indeed formidable, but it’s simply ludicrous to say these things in front of me.”
Fang Lin looked deeply at Long Xunhai, and then at the other members of the Long Family, and suddenly said in a quiet voice, “Brother, your countenance is extraordinary, originally destined to be the dragon among men, yet because of one person’s existence, your fate has been suppressed. If this person continues to exist, I’m afraid Brother will never have your day in the sun.”
No sooner had he spoken these words than Long Xunhai’s complexion changed, and the people of the Long Family not far away also turned shades, all of them glaring angrily at Fang Lin.
“Audacious!”
“Brazen!”
Voices of reproach from the Long Family followed one after another. Although Fang Lin did not name names, even a fool could tell that Fang Lin was suggesting that as long as Long Zhiming was there, Long Xunhai would always be subjugated—an intentional provocation.
Long Xunhai’s eyes darkened. He glanced at Long Zhiming and saw that Long Zhiming had no reaction, still sitting in a meditative posture as if he hadn’t heard Fang Lin’s words at all.
Long Xunhai breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although Fang Lin’s words touched upon the hidden thought in Long Xunhai’s mind, after all, as a member of the Long Family, such thoughts could not be expressed and had to remain hidden.
“How dare you provoke me, you are quite bold!” Long Xunhai sneered repeatedly, his eyes already betraying hostile intentions.
Fang Lin’s face turned solemn, “I have merely spoken of Brother’s destined fate, with no other intentions. I hope Brother will not take offense.”
“Hmph! I’m not in the mood for your nonsense, take this move!” Long Xunhai shouted loudly, finally making his move.
He thrust a palm towards Fang Lin, rich Inner Strength surging out, enveloping Long Xunhai’s palm with incredible power.

Fang Lin did not retreat or avoid, rotating his power and landed a straightforward punch.
“Seeking death!” Long Xunhai, upon seeing this, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes, but the next moment, his expression completely changed.
With a bang, Long Xunhai stumbled backwards repeatedly, his arm trembling slightly. In contrast, Fang Lin stood his ground, unmoving, his demeanor very relaxed.
“Such formidable Physical Strength!” someone from the Long Family said, his tone somewhat solemn.
Long Zhiming also looked this way and saw Long Xunhai being forced back by Fang Lin’s punch, a glint of light passing through the depths of his eyes.
Long Xunhai’s face alternated between pale and flushed. He had intended to strike with force, to suppress Fang Lin and teach him a profound lesson, but instead, he was the one shoved back, an utterly unacceptable outcome for the proud Long Family Martial Artists.
Especially with so many of his clan members watching, he, Long Xunhai, could not afford to lose face.
“Again!” Long Xunhai bellowed, pushing off the ground, his entire being like a tiger descending from the mountain, his presence even more intimidative and overwhelming.
Fang Lin responded calmly, countering Long Xunhai with his Physical Strength.
The clash of fists and kicks was intensely violent, both showcasing their astounding prowess.
Bang!
Long Xunhai took another punch, but he also clenched his teeth and landed a heavy palm on Fang Lin’s chest.
However, the result was still Long Xunhai being forced backwards again, a sweetness rising in his throat, blood nearly spilling out before he forcibly swallowed it.
Meanwhile, Fang Lin was completely unharmed, Long Xunhai’s palm strike hadn’t made much of an impact on him at all.
“How is this possible? Xunhai can’t even injure this man, how strong must his physique be?” Aside from Long Zhiming, the others from the Long Family were incredulous. With Long Xunhai’s strength, there were few adversaries even among his peers, yet a Martial Artist in the seventh layer of Heavenly Origin made Long Xunhai struggle immensely.
“Fang Lin? I seem to have heard that name somewhere before.” A female from the Long Family slightly furrowed her brows, as though she recalled something.
“Could he be the same Fang Lin who caused a stir in Xuan City and had killed many Martial Artists from the Spirit Vein of Xuan Country?” another member of the Long Family suddenly remarked.
Once these words were spoken, the Long Family members all recalled it, and their gaze towards Fang Lin shifted.
“No wonder he’s so powerful, it turns out to be that Fang Lin.” The Long Family members said, at the same time casting dissatisfied glances toward Ling Zhongru and the other two, clearly aware of Fang Lin’s background, yet they hadn’t explained it in detail, the implications of which were clear.
“Do you wish to continue, brother?” Fang Lin asked Long Xunhai with a light smile.
Long Xunhai’s face was sullen, his breathing slightly hurried. He was a Martial Artist of the third layer of Spirit Vein, possessing an absolute advantage in realm, yet he was utterly suppressed by Fang Lin, which drove him to frustration.
“You’re celebrating too soon!” Under his irritation, Long Xunhai finally stopped holding back and employed the Martial Arts of the Long Family.
A punch was hurled by Long Xunhai with surging Inner Strength, morphing into a dragon’s claw phantom, armed with a trace of dragon’s might, shooting directly towards Fang Lin’s face.
