Zhong Ming's peerless Divine Intent struck Lin Kong's Sword Heart like a sledgehammer, causing cracks to appear in the Mental Realm that was his pride.
Subconsciously, a fear of Zhong Ming had already taken root and begun to sprout. He even felt that Zhong Ming was truly one of a kind.
'Losing to an expert of this caliber is no disgrace.'
Though these fleeting thoughts were merely a product of the cracks in his spirit, they allowed Great Dream of Thousand Years and Rhythm of Life to flex their power, manifesting a Heart Demon within Lin Kong's Sea of Consciousness.
But in a way, they also revealed the truest turmoil deep within his heart.
He had come to utterly fear Zhong Ming.
In this state, even if he still possessed the will to resist, the interference from his stray thoughts and the Heart Demon meant he would be lucky to unleash even sixty percent of his true power.
