A golden radiance flared, accompanied by the grating sound of metal rubbing against each other. The stone statue's hand tightly gripped Long Yi's, with Long Yi instinctively fighting back. To his surprise, he found that his fine gold right hand was being overpowered by the statue's brute strength!
This was just absurd! There were only a few things in the world harder than fine gold, and a block of stone certainly should not have been one of them!
Creak!
Crevices grew on the statue, gradually spreading across its body. 'Damn,' thought Long Yi, 'this thing better not be broken.'
'Let it break then! Am I not stronger than you?' Exasperated, Long Yi decided to fight it out and exerted all his strength.
Boom!
Splash!
An explosion accompanied by a rain of stone fragments, the golden light piercing through the dust.
