A long, long time!
"Good, good, good... cough, cough!"
Li Fangyuan finally spoke first, uttering three 'good's, but accompanied by a strong bout of coughing, clearly indicating that his internal injuries could not allow him to persist any longer.
In comparison, Zhou Feng was much more relaxed. When he saw Li Fangyuan open his mouth first, the aura that Zhou Feng had been gathering for a long time diminished slightly. It's not that Li Fangyuan suppressed him, but maintaining such high intensity is a pressure on anyone.
Li Fangyuan was severely injured; at least from him speaking first, it's evident that he wasn't in a favorable position in this aura battle.
The dragon energy of the Golden Dragon had shattered his protective Gang Qi and dispelled his soul power, inflicting a certain amount of damage on his spiritual power. Thus, he held no advantage in this aura battle and ultimately lost to Zhou Feng.
