Chapter 782: Exemplar to Look up to (I) (1/2)
Long Tianyin was surprised. Clearly, he had never expected Long Haochen to speak to him like that. He could not help but become furious, “Alright. I’d like to see how you ask me to leave. Are you going to lay your hands on me?”
Long Haochen’s eyes suddenly shone brightly. Afterwards, he sent a palm strike towards Long Tianyin from far away.
Long Haochen was attacking Long Tianyin during the meeting. That was a sight many people would struggle to believe, but that was exactly what happened.
Long Tianyin bellowed out furiously and hurled a first at Long Haochen. His face had reddened from anger. At the end of the day, he was a senior powerhouse of the Knight Temple. Moreover, the person who had disrespected him so much was his own grandson.
However, something that shocked all the powerhouses present appeared once more. Long Haochen’s body suddenly became faintly golden. The gentle golden light seemed extremely comforting. A golden handprint appeared in the air from his palm strike. When Long Tianyin’s furious strike was about to collide with it, Long Tianyin’s body shuddered under the golden light and afterwards, he was actually enveloped by Long Haochen’s golden light. In the next moment, he actually turned into a streak of golden light and vanished.
One move! Just one move!
“Self Incarnating Domain?” Li Zhengzhi’s mutter roused everyone from their shock.
What did a Self Incarnating Domain mean? Everyone knew the answer just too well. It meant the fifth rank of the ninth step. Their chairman had actually reached the fifth rank of the ninth step?
It had to be known that in the recent Temples’ Great Gathering, the strength that Long Haochen demonstrated was only of the second or third rank! In just two short months, he had actually broken through consecutively? A Self Incarnating Domain was something that many ninth step powerhouses could not achieve even if they used up their entire lives!
For that moment, the upper echelon of the union could not help but change how they looked at Long Haochen.
Whether it was the union or among the demons, strength tended to represent speaking authority.
“Haochen, you…” Long Xingyu was both furious and surprised. However, when he made contact with Long Haochen’s stern gaze, he immediately stopped speaking. He sat there with a sunken face, no longer uttering another word.
Long Haochen looked at Yang Haohan and said solemnly, “According to the rules of the union, the chairman can temporarily expel members who disrespect the chairman during a meeting from the meeting. Am I correct?”
Yang Haohan nodded subconsciously. In reality, he too had been shocked by Long Haochen’s actions.
Long Haochen smiled plainly and said, “Temple head Long was slightly tired, so I asked him to go rest up first. You don’t have to worry.”
Of course no one believed Long Haochen would lay his hands on Long Tianyin. That was his grandfather after all. However, Long Haochen’s actions made the powerhouses of the six temples reevaluate Long Haochen and take him more seriously.
The union had only been founded recently, so in reality, many people continued to follow the methods of the temple alliance from before. Long Haochen and his Bright Glimmer of Hope never used their authority in the meetings either, so not a lot of people recognised Long Haochen’s position as chairman. They just knew the demon hunt squad was very powerful. Most of them behaved just like when they were apart of the temple alliance, mainly obliging to the commands of the various temples.
However, Long Haochen’s actions told them without a doubt that in the current union, he was truly the greatest.
And, he had used his strength to demonstrate his power. He did not use the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation in his clash with Long Tianyin, yet he was able to incapacitate Long Tianyin in a single strike and teleport him away. This strength was clearly no worse than the Starry Sky Holy Knight Yang Haoyu. Coupled with the amplification from the first divine throne in history, everyone discovered in shock that their chairman had actually reached such a great level of strength already. This discovery made them gradually forget about Long Haochen’s age. They now looked at him with a bit more respect.
