270: Chapter 270 The Amplification Effect of the Power of Laws!

Listening to Li Fan speak,

the four of them frowned slightly, but after a brief consideration, they all felt it made a lot of sense.

Li Fan's line of reasoning truly had no issues.

However, the premise for this flawless reasoning was based on the condition that Li Fan could definitely defeat Duan Xuan!

After all, if Li Fan failed to beat Duan Xuan during the match, the consequences would be severe.

Not only would rumors spread that a genius who grasped Law Power was nothing special, encouraging more people to challenge him, but it would also greatly affect Li Fan's own state of mind.

Regarding this aspect,

the four didn't worry too much.

Because they knew that anything Li Fan decided with such confidence must be something he had a very high degree of certainty about.

What they needed to do was simply trust Li Fan.

...

Time flashed by until evening.

Thanks to the deliberate promotion by Peng Song and the others,

the academy forum was already filled with discussions about the duel between Duan Xuan and Li Fan scheduled for the next morning.

In reality, there was no need for much promotion.

The group only posted one or two messages, and it immediately stirred up a massive wave on the forum.

This was also normal.

Li Fan, a New Student, comprehending Law Power at the Star-Treading Level was simply heaven-defying to the extreme, making him the most sensational figure in the entire academy right now.

Any slight movement from Li Fan would draw countless gazes.

Moreover, this topic also involved another top prodigy, Duan Xuan.

"What? Duan Xuan is going to duel Li Fan tomorrow morning on the Pinnacle Stage?"

"Hiss! Is that true?! If it is, I must go watch! Duan Xuan versus Li Fan—this is a clash of titans!"

"How did these two end up facing each other? But it's a good thing; I'm quite eager to see just how terrifying the strength of Li Fan, who has grasped Law Power, truly is."

"Are you sure it's tomorrow morning? Don't get the time wrong!"

"The news was released by Peng Song, Duan Ping, and the others. Given their relationship with Li Fan, it's highly unlikely to be fake!"

"That's right, that's right. I absolutely have to watch this battle! Observing Li Fan's Law Power might give me some inspiration!"

From the discussions currently on the forum,

it was clear that both New Students and Senior Students held extremely high expectations for this battle.

Especially concerning Li Fan.

They were extremely eager to know how terrifying the strength a genius who had grasped Law Power could unleash.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

within the manor where Duan Xuan resided,

"It seems Li Fan is very confident!"

Duan Xuan had naturally also noticed the activity on the forum.

He wasn't foolish and could basically guess Li Fan's intentions at a glance.

This was an attempt to use this opportunity, using him as an example, to showcase his own strength and warn others—killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!

"Big Brother, since Li Fan is so confident, you must be extremely careful tomorrow!"

Fang Tong, standing nearby, couldn't help but frown and remind him.

However, as soon as these words left his mouth, Duan Xuan's expression became slightly strange.

These words didn't sound like Fang Tong's usual style.

Why was he starting to boost others' morale while dampening their own prestige?

Fang Tong quickly realized he had said the wrong thing and hastily explained,

"Big Brother, don't misunderstand. I'm not saying I don't believe in your strength!

With your strength, dealing with Li Fan should be a piece of cake. I'm just worried that Li Fan might pull some underhanded trick, causing you to suffer a silent loss and not win cleanly."

Hearing Fang Tong's words, Duan Xuan could clearly sense Fang Tong's underlying fear of Li Fan, but he didn't have much to say about it.

"No need to remind me. Since Li Fan is so confident, tomorrow I will let him know what it means to weave a cocoon around oneself!"

With that said,

Duan Xuan flicked his sleeve and headed toward the cultivation room, telling Fang Tong to go back first.

Clearly,

even though he verbally dismissed Li Fan, he was not being careless in the slightest about the battle tomorrow.

He would face the fight in his strongest state!

...

Secret Heart District.

The news of Duan Xuan and Li Fan's scheduled duel had also reached the academy's higher-ups.

Their interest in this duel was not the least bit lower than that of the Students.

In fact, in a certain sense, their interest was even greater.

The main reason, naturally, stemmed from Li Fan.

Or, to put it more directly, it came from that strand of Law Power Li Fan possessed.

They had some concept of how terrifying Law Power was.

However, they didn't know how powerful the energy a Star-Treading Level cultivator could unleash after mastering a single strand of Law Power.

Tomorrow's battle would reveal that answer.

As for Li Fan,

Li Fan wasn't paying much attention to the comments on the forum at the moment; he was currently exercising in the cultivation room.

But while his body was training,

his mind was entirely occupied with the Bizarre Planet in Confinement Valley.

Dean Liusha had already given him the planet, but according to the Dean, it would take about five or six days for the academy to complete the handover process with him.

Five or six days wasn't a long time, but for the impatient Li Fan, it felt quite drawn out.

Just as Li Fan was pondering,

the voice of the Old Mans Spirit suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Cough, cough, little friend, I have a few words I wish to say."

As soon as this voice sounded,

Li Fan couldn't help but startle, then revealed a wry smile.

It seemed this spirit had indeed remembered the previous reminder.

This time, he actually gave a heads-up beforehand.

But this sudden greeting seemed just as likely to startle someone.

Immediately after, Li Fan didn't dwell on such details.

"Senior, please speak."

After receiving Li Fan's response, the Old Mans Spirit spoke up.

"First of all, congratulations to the little friend for comprehending Law Power. Originally, I truly didn't believe a Star-Treading Level cultivator could grasp Law Power. I never expected you, little friend, to actually achieve it. Such talent is truly the rarest I have seen in my life."

"And since you have comprehended Law Power, my suggestion is that you first completely fuse this strand of Law Power. Only then can you ensure your strength remains at its peak."

As these words were spoken, Li Fan felt a bit confused.

Completely fuse?

Did he not consider himself fused already?

The Old Mans Spirit naturally noticed Li Fan's confusion and explained directly:

"Let me rephrase it, and you should understand. If we compare Law Power to a sword, you have currently only obtained this sword. But to unleash the sword's full power, you must reach the state of 'Man and Sword as One,' which is the process of fusion."

Hearing this, Li Fan nodded.

If explained like this, it was indeed much easier to understand.

Immediately, Li Fan couldn't help but ask, "Then, Senior, how should I fuse it?"

The Old Mans Spirit didn't keep him in suspense,

"It's very simple: practical combat combined with further insight into the Law. If you have time during this period, you can continue to meditate before that law stone. Currently, that strand of Law Power you possess should be able to provide you with about a tenfold amplification in strength. After complete fusion, if the effect is good, it will likely reach a hundredfold amplification! Perhaps even more, after all, you comprehended it while at the Star-Treading Level."

Upon hearing this,

Li Fan's expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of shock.

"Tenfold amplification, and it can even reach a hundredfold amplification?"

He could feel that this strand of Law Power brought a considerable boost to his strength, but wasn't this increase a bit too much?!

Seeing Li Fan's appearance as someone who hadn't seen much of the world,

the Old Mans Spirit couldn't help but chuckle:

"This is nothing yet. When you slowly comprehend the second strand, and then the third strand of Law Power, the amplification will definitely be much more exaggerated than this. Moreover, at that time, it won't just be a simple combat power boost; you will understand that slowly in the future."

"Law, that thing, is a great asset! Those who comprehend Law Power before the Immortal Level will, at minimum, reach the Marquis-level Immortal. If you maintain your current momentum, you likely won't be limited to just the Immortal Level.

Never mind, discussing this with you now is too far off. You will know in time."
