Chapter 197: I Must Talk to You

Lin Fan stared intently at the scene before him. This Supreme Token fragment was somewhat strange.

Just then, the half rune on the Supreme Token fragment flickered faintly, projecting an illusory light screen.

As Lin Fan was puzzled, a figure suddenly appeared on the light screen. The figure's face was indistinct, but when it threw a punch, Lin Fan's expression changed drastically.

That ordinary punch seemed to split heaven and earth, as if piercing through the ages.

So strong...

When Lin Fan wanted to continue watching, the Supreme Token fragment suddenly dimmed, and the figure in the light screen vanished.

Lin Fan stood dumbfounded, his mind entirely occupied by the image of that punch.

How could such an ordinary punch be so powerful?

Lin Fan picked up the Supreme Token fragment and examined it closely. The light screen had just appeared from the broken rune at one corner of the fragment. He then held the fragment up to the moonlight, wanting to watch it again.

But to his disappointment, the Supreme Token fragment showed no reaction, not even a ripple.

At this moment, Lin Fan was about to explode. The Supreme Token fragment was a good thing, and the light screen was even better, but he had watched too hastily and hadn't grasped anything.

And when the light screen appeared, the system gave no prompt.

Could it be that the system's silence meant that the seemingly ordinary punch in the light screen required his own comprehension?

That punch—Lin Fan understood in his heart that if he had to describe it, it was simply too awesome.

As for whether the system could let him learn it automatically, it no longer mattered, because he believed that with his talent, comprehending this punch was not difficult.

But the prerequisite was: please let him watch it one more time.

Although that punch seemed slow, it was actually too fast; it vanished in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lin Fan tried to infuse it with true essence. This method was just a spur-of-the-moment idea; he didn't know if it would work. If infusing true essence proved useless, then he would have no other way.

Now, Lin Fan felt the true essence within his body surging violently into the fragment.

As time passed, Lin Fan's originally confident expression suddenly turned bewildered. The true essence in his body was almost depleted.

Lin Fan wanted to stop the infusion, but found that the Supreme Token fragment seemed addicted to absorption, forcibly drawing it in.

Damn it...

Was it going to suck me dry?

At this moment, Lin Fan dared not hesitate. Holding the fragment in his left hand, flames rose from his right hand. He threw in large amounts of herbs, and high-quality true essence recovery pills, like raindrops, were continuously tossed into his mouth.

The pills melted upon entering his mouth, turning into rivers of true essence that replenished the depleted energy in his body.

But even so, the rate of replenishment could not keep up with the rate of depletion.

As if the Supreme Token fragment knew Lin Fan was replenishing his true essence, its absorption grew stronger.

Damn it, I'll fight you to the death.

At this moment, Lin Fan was furious. This Supreme Token fragment was too presumptuous. Did it think he was easy to bully?

Instant pill formation, internal alchemy.

Now, Lin Fan was multitasking. Flames rolled in his palm, and the furnace inside his body roared. He threw all the herbs he had collected when leaving the sect into it.

This dual alchemy technique was truly astonishing—a method Lin Fan had never experienced before, but now he was driven mad by the Supreme Token fragment.

A large number of pills coalesced into a crystalline river of true essence, flowing through Lin Fan's body, then surging into the Supreme Token fragment.

As the herbs dwindled, the absorption of the Supreme Token fragment did not decrease. Lin Fan began to panic. Was he really going to be sucked dry by this thing?

When the last herb was consumed, Lin Fan immediately took out the Eternity Axe. If it still didn't stop, he would chop off his own hand with the axe.

Although Lin Fan cherished his own life, at this moment, preserving his life was the most important thing.

Lin Fan would never believe in the kind of novels he had read, where at the last moment, the tide turns and a great opportunity appears.

As long as his true essence gradually ran out, Lin Fan would absolutely not hesitate; he could not let this supreme fragment kill him.

As the true essence in his body gradually depleted, sweat beaded on Lin Fan's forehead, and then he tightly gripped the Eternal Axe.

Damn it, I'll chop it off.

At that moment, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. Just as he was about to swing the axe and chop it off, the suction force of the supreme fragment suddenly disappeared. Lin Fan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately braked halfway.

In the instant when the Eternal Axe was only a hair's breadth away from his arm, it finally stopped.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, put down the Eternal Axe, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

That was close; I almost chopped for nothing.

Then Lin Fan picked up the supreme fragment, slammed it against the ground, and cursed, "You piece of junk, you almost made me a one-armed hero."

Now Lin Fan was still shaken; next time, without sufficient preparation, he would never dare to be so careless again.

Then Lin Fan sat cross-legged to recover his true essence. After an unknown amount of time, the moment his true essence returned to its peak, he immediately took out the supreme fragment and drew in a beam of moonlight.

The moment the moonlight enveloped the supreme fragment, the half-section of runes once again shimmered with radiance, and the fleeting figure that had appeared briefly earlier reappeared.

At this moment, Lin Fan watched intently, his spirit, energy, and mind reaching their peak; he wanted to comprehend this fist.

The figure in the light screen gently threw a punch, and under that punch, heaven and earth shattered, leaving nothing.

Watching for the second time, Lin Fan frowned slightly, but did not grasp anything.

Then he drew in moonlight again, and the figure reappeared.

The third time, Lin Fan felt some insight, but he could never capture the most crucial point.

The fourth time, when the figure reappeared, what puzzled Lin Fan was that the figure seemed to have changed; its expressionless face appeared to show a hint of impatience.

This time, Lin Fan gained some understanding, but still did not fully comprehend.

The fifth time, when the figure reappeared, it stood motionless in the light screen. Perhaps due to insufficient true essence, the figure hesitated for a moment before moving again.

But this time, Lin Fan still did not grasp anything.

At this moment, Lin Fan began to doubt his life; could his comprehension really be so poor?

That shouldn't be; according to the panel's description, he possessed unlimited advancement in talent and comprehension.

Lin Fan was somewhat unconvinced; with his talent surpassing the universe, how could he not comprehend even a little?

The sixth time, the figure appeared again.

What astonished Lin Fan was that the figure stood in the light screen, motionless for a long time.

"Move!" Lin Fan shouted at the figure in the light screen.

What the hell is this supreme fragment? Taking money but not doing the job, how can it be like this?

"Sigh..."

At this moment, something that startled Lin Fan happened: the figure in the light screen actually sighed.

"Youngster, your cultivation is merely at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, not yet reaching the Great Heavenly Realm to comprehend the power of rules. Even if you watch a hundred times, it will be useless. The true essence you have infused now is only enough for the last activation. Do not overestimate yourself."

After saying this, the figure in the light screen disappeared.

Lin Fan stared dumbfounded at the supreme fragment, his expression turning extremely ugly. He stomped on the supreme fragment and said, "Damn it, don't be too arrogant."

In fact, Lin Fan did not know that the way to activate this supreme fragment required the nine layers of true essence of the Great Heavenly Realm. Lin Fan had just gulped down countless pills, piling up his true essence to the Great Heavenly Realm, and by a fluke, he had activated the supreme fragment.

At this moment, he was filled with indignation; this was the first time he had been so despised.

No, I must have a talk with that guy.
