Lin Shen had originally thought that many Ascenders would challenge him, but after Faceless, a good while passed before another challenger finally entered Evil Speech Planet.
"I am Hong Xin of the Heart Ape Clan. I greet you with respect," the challenger who had a burly figure and luxuriant body hair, resembling an ape man, said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he donned a carapace, his body's particles surged, forming a gauntlet that enveloped his left hand.
Hong Xin's entire carapace appeared to be woven from black golden threads, and the gauntlet seemed to be cast from dark gold. Combined with his towering stature, he looked majestic and imposing.
"Roar!" Hong Xin issued a roaring bellow, his body swelling up as if inflated, expanding to a height of seven or eight meters in the blink of an eye. He looked full of strength without seeming clumsy.
Lin Shen delivered a Surfing Triple Punch, but Hong Xin didn't dodge or evade and took Lin Shen's strike head-on.
