264: Chapter 264 Successfully Comprehended a Wisp of Law!

"The Great Dao is simple; the Dao of Strength is omnipresent,

Birth, control, fusion, creation..."

Li Fan "sat" beside the Spring of Law. This time, unlike the previous few times, he did not rashly try to reach out and touch the Dao of Strength within the spring.

Instead, he looked toward the endless chaos behind him, constantly feeling the process of the Dao of Strength from its gestation to its completion throughout the universe.

Although reaching out to touch it, as he had done before, indeed allowed him to feel closer and closer to comprehending the Law of Strength, as if success was just a moment away if he persisted a little longer,

Li Fan quickly sensed something was amiss.

Because every time Li Fan reached out to touch it, and every bit of progress brought about by that touch, could not form a substantial effect; it only gave him the illusion of infinitely approaching comprehension.

So, he immediately drew a bold conclusion.

That was a crooked path!

It was a wrong road specifically designed to confuse all living beings!

It utilized the illusion of infinite approach to stir up the eager greed of all beings, driving them further and further down the wrong path.

Therefore, Li Fan now chose to return to the starting point, beginning to seek another perspective for comprehension.

And the facts proved it.

The path Li Fan was now seeking was a very correct one.

Feeling the path of gestation for the myriad Great Daos from within the chaos allowed his comprehension of the Great Dao of Strength to increase tremendously.

And just as Li Fan was immersed in this process,

In the Spring of Law, a strand of the Law of Strength actually began to detach itself from the original grand net of laws and slowly flew toward Li Fan.

It was seen circling Li Fan several times before finally plunging directly into the center of Li Fan's brow.

It was at this moment that Li Fan suddenly opened his eyes, golden light flashing within them. His entire being felt instantly enlightened, and his comprehension of the Law of Strength began to climb rapidly. In an instant, all the confusion regarding the Law of Strength during this period was answered at this moment.

At this moment, the Great Dao of Strength no longer felt so obscure to him; instead, he felt a sense of stability, as if he had found a lighthouse in the darkness.

"This is the Dao of Strength, the Law of Strength!"

"It is truly marvelous!"

Li Fan looked toward the endless chaos, sincerely sighing in his heart.

Currently, he had only glimpsed a single strand of the Law of Strength.

If he could see all of it, or even control it, his understanding of power, and perhaps even the entire universe, would gain a completely new perspective.

Immediately after, Li Fan focused his mind again, beginning to consolidate his comprehension of this strand of the Law of Strength.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

At the same time that Li Fan's mental flow entered a state of epiphany and he successfully comprehended a strand of the Law of Strength,

In the outside world, more than ten days had unknowingly passed.

The deadline for Li Fan to study the enlightenment stele was now only three days away.

With such short time remaining,

Few people in the outside world still held much hope for Li Fan.

The sarcastic remarks about Li Fan on the academy forum were also gradually increasing.

Regarding this situation, even Peng Song could now only reply with a few weak rebuttals on the forum.

Although he still believed Li Fan would not fail, the facts seemed to be telling him that Li Fan had already failed.

On the isolated island deep within the academy,

"Senior Liu Sha, the time Li Fan has for comprehension is almost up, and it seems there is still no progress. If you ask me, he should have been corrected long ago; he should have been made to study other enlightenment steles. This current situation is truly a waste of his talent."

The Middle-aged Man shook his head as he spoke, his words mixed with regret and a hint of blame for Old Man Liu Sha's previous decision.

As for the Middle-aged Man's words, Old Man Liu Sha showed no excessive emotion.

"It's fine. Aren't there still three days left? Moreover, it is quite normal if he ultimately cannot comprehend it."

"If he still hasn't comprehended it after three days, we will proceed according to the rules: announce that he cannot become a Formal Student. However, do not interrupt his process of comprehension."

Hearing Old Man Liu Sha's words,

The Middle-aged Man could only nod, let out a sigh, and then slowly left.

...

"Brother Li Fan really cannot comprehend it?"

"With Brother Li's talent, this shouldn't be the case!"

"Only three days left. Li Fan, you must hurry! You've already come this far!"

In the core area of the academy, a lecture had just concluded.

Luo Ling, Duan Linger, and Duan Ping gathered together, worrying about Li Fan's situation.

All three of them had relied on Li Fan to secure a spot in the top five, essentially winning by lying down.

Therefore, they were extremely grateful to Li Fan and had already sincerely regarded him as a friend.

If Li Fan could not comprehend and become a Formal Student, it would truly be too much of a pity.

"Hahaha, I said long ago that Li Fan could never comprehend the enlightenment stele and become a Formal Student; he simply doesn't have the fate for it!"

"It's truly lamentable. The dignified champion of the New Student Competition failed to successfully comprehend the enlightenment stele!"

"Hahahaha, there are only three days left, and Li Fan is about to have his right to become a Formal Student revoked. Just thinking about it is satisfying!"

"So what if he won first place in the New Student Competition? He still can't become a Formal Student, right?"

"Alright, alright, stop being so sour. Even if Li Fan cannot become a Formal Student, the resources he can enjoy are not comparable to ours."

"What's the point of pretending to be noble? Is being sour illegal?"

In the Sparring Partner area,

Upon hearing the news that Li Fan still hadn't comprehended anything, there was a wave of excitement.

While the story of the carp leaping over the dragon gate was indeed exciting,

That carp was not allowed to appear near them.

Although a small number of people did not show excessive gloating, the general situation remained the same.

And as time passed,

Only the last day remained before Li Fan's deadline to comprehend the enlightenment stele.

From an outsider's perspective, Li Fan was still frozen in place, showing no movement, just as he had been two months prior.

"Perhaps my expectations were too high."

"Even Huo Feng back then couldn't comprehend this stone tablet; how could he be certain to succeed?"

On the isolated island, Old Man Liu Sha looked at the image of Li Fan displayed in the void, shaking his head with a wry smile.

However,

Just as the sigh left his mouth,

A blue light suddenly burst forth from the pupils of Li Fan, who had been frozen in place. A terrifying force field emanated from his entire body, and a golden stream of light containing supreme aura slowly circled him.

In an instant,

All the other members who were comprehending nearby were affected. They all felt a sweetness rise in their throats under the pressure of the sudden force field.

Some even heard terrifying cracking sounds from their bodies.

After they all deployed high-level defenses,

Their gazes immediately snapped toward Li Fan.

"This!"

On the isolated island,

Old Man Liu Sha's usually placid expression suddenly changed drastically, his pupils contracted, and he almost dropped the fishing rod in his hand.

"This is a strand of Law Power!!!"

"This! How is this possible?!!!"
