Chapter 702: Admitting Defeat_1
To Su Chengyu’s surprise, his duel with Lee Longqing was proving to be evenly matched, something even He Lian Xuan had not expected.
"Su Cheng is indeed an outstanding contender. However, Lee Longqing has yet to employ his full strength. The outcome of this battle is not too difficult to predict," said He Lian Xuan.
"Yes! Lee Longqing is, after all, from the Lee family. His heritage and talent alone suffice to place him above his peers. However, Su Cheng is a cultivator. Given time, he might surpass Lee Longqing. I wonder who the Grand Minister favors?"
While watching the battle, Xue Yuqin conversed with He Lian Xuan.
He Lian Xuan replied with a light smile, not answering Xue Yuqin’s question.
Having executed four moves of the ’All-encompassing Fist’, Su Chengyu had gained an upper hand. However, he could feel that this technique was not enough to defeat Lee Longqing.
After exchanging a punch, the two fighters distanced themselves from each other. Su Chengyu gave a loud shout of exhilaration. For him, such a well-matched fight proved to be the best form of training. In the course of the battle, he could feel his mana, Dao Heart, and Dao Foundation being sharpened and strengthened bit by bit.
"Lee Longqing, you are indeed strong."
Su Chengyu readily praised Lee Longqing. It was hard to find a worthy opponent. Although Lee Longqing was arrogant and somewhat irritating, he was a match worthy of Su Chengyu’s admiration.
