The strongest family in all worlds

Chapter 7: Rewards

Chapter 7 - RewardsLong Chen turned to face his clan. In a cold and resolute voice, he declared, "Listen well. You must understand that I won't always be here to protect you. The Long family is not built on one person alone. Now is the time to prove yourselves. Fight as if your lives depend on it. Don't think that just because I've stepped into the Innate Realm, we're safe. Don't rely on merely on yourselves!"

As his words fell, the previously stunned members of the Long family raised their weapons and roared in unison.

Their eyes burned with newfound determination and unity.

Seeing their rising morale, the enemy already weakened and disheartened began to falter.

Many attempted to flee, but fear of Long Chen's threat kept them frozen. Those without the courage to retreat were forced forward, stumbling into the ferocity of the Long family's vengeance.

Surrounded from all sides, the Feng family and their allies had no way out.

"Kill!"

The cry echoed as the Long family's disciples unleashed their wrath. Blades clashed, bodies fell, and the battlefield was consumed in chaos.

Among the fighters stood Long Chen. For someone of his level, this battle was child's play. He remained still, choosing not to interfere.

This was his clan's trial by fire, and they needed real battle experience. Unless someone was gravely injured, he would not step in.

With his divine innate consciousness blanketing the field, he observed everything. Not a single detail escaped him.

To him, the Feng family and their allies were nothing more than whetstones tools to sharpen the Long clan's strength.

The thick stench of blood soon filled the air. Severed limbs lay scattered, and the ground was soaked crimson.

Eventually, with one final scream, the battlefield fell silent. All enemies had been wiped out.

The Long family stood victorious. Blood stained their faces and clothes, but their expressions brimmed with pride. Thanks to Long Chen's silent guardianship, none had suffered serious injury only minor wounds.

In the silence that followed, they all turned to their leader, their gazes filled with admiration and reverence.

With Long Chen leading them, the Long family had become truly powerful. What did they have to fear now?

But Long Chen's expression was still grim.

"This isn't enough," he said coldly. "This doesn't erase the years of humiliation we've suffered. Today, the whole of Star City must understand the price of provoking the Long family!"

His voice deepened. "

Then, someone spotted the man in white leading the group.

"Who is that at the front? I've never seen him before. Since when did the Long family have someone like that?"

Many of the younger onlookers didn't recognize him. But the elders of Star City did.

A warrior among the crowd, clad in battle gear, suddenly gasped. His face turned pale, and he blurted out:

"That man... He's Long—Long Chen?!"

The words hit like a thunderclap. The crowd erupted in shock.

After all, Long Chen was once the number one genius of Star City.
