Chapter 818: Five Clan’s Genius
Everyone could see that Long Chen was superior in terms of physical power. After obtaining the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, he had fully cultivated the Seven Star Body. This made his body stronger than the infamous Golden Combat Body.
Jin Ling was blown backwards. He rolled in the air a few times before staggering upon landing. Several minor wounds could be seen on his copper-colored arms.
Just as the Metal Devouring Wind had entered Long Chen’s body, the celestial Qi had invaded Jin Ling’s body. The celestial Qi boasted a stronger destructive power than the Metal Devouring Wind. As such, the external wounds were considered minor by Jin Ling, but his internal wounds were severe.
“The Seven Star Body is indeed strong…” Jin Ling was unhappy after getting pushed back by the first move. He was the strongest youth in the Five Element Alliance, which made him even more jealous of Long Chen. To the Five Element Alliance, Jin Ling was supposed to be the descendant of the Five Emperors, so everything in the Ancient Graveyard was supposed to be his. The Seven Star Emperor used to serve the Five Emperors, so his inheritance was naturally supposed to belong to the Five Element Alliance.
“Long Chen is relying on the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, while Big Brother Jin Ling’s Golden Combat Body was cultivated by enduring the pain of being enveloped by the Metal Devouring Wind. Long Chen is only winning slightly, and it barely counts as a victory. He is just relying on his good luck.”
Everyone in the Five Element Alliance claimed this while they discussed the battle. The patriarch of the Gold clan was carefully watching the battle and shook his head when he saw Jin Ling lose in a clash of physical strength. “Jin Ling has always been hardworking, and his pain tolerance was one of his most excellent features. He can endure far more than Long Chen. Unfortunately, he’s not as lucky as Long Chen. If Jin Ling were lucky, he would be far above Long Chen and Wu Guangyu.”
The only reason they were saying this was because they didn’t know how hard it was to cultivate the Seven Star Body, especially to reach Long Chen’s level. They also didn’t know that Long Chen had clawed his way up to his current stage from an extremely tiny village.
In terms of hard work, Long Chen far exceeded Jin Ling.
But since it was only the first bout of the fight, no one could be truly called the victor. Jin Ling and Long Chen were only testing the waters.
