Wood Awakening Tome

Lin Fan looked through Xi Lang's storage ring as him and Chen Long ran down the long, winding tunnel in the Underworld Trench.

He smiled and pulled out a sentient treasure related to the [law of wood] called the [wood awakening tome] before he transferred it to his storage ring. There was a few thousand other minor treasures that he could give to his girls like strength burden pills, blue health pills, and quite a few other treasures.

He looked over at Chen Long who checked the ring of the ten dead Apotheosis Stage practitioners. They seemed to have a few hundred Ascent Rank Treasures, but nothing nearly as high in value as the sentient treasure.

The road ahead of them forked in two as Lin Fan used elementalization to sense the best direction. He sighed and patted Chen Long on the back before he pointed to the right side of the tunnel.

"Go that way, and kill anyone you see. If you need help, just head in my direction and I should sense it."

"Lin Fan, you ever wonder why you were chosen?" Chen Long patted him on the back and looked at him up and down, "I mean, why do you think you got the system?"

"It's not something worth thinking about. Those kind of things tend to weigh people down. I'd rather just focus on winning this war. When you're old and I'm still young, we can talk about it."

"I'm a demi-god... You mean in 10,000 years?" Chen Long stepped down on his foot and waved at Lin Fan before he disappeared down the tunnel, "Let's hope we're a live for five years at the rate you get us in trouble,"

Lin Fan sighed and activated the [eternal heart clock] next to him before he also ran down the tunnel. He was close enough now that if he flew in their direction, they still couldn't get away anyway.

He just had a strange feeling about the underworld trench. It was harder to pick up traces of the laws here as he moved and rushed towards the loud sound of gears turning. There were hundreds of clicks and whistles like a machine was roaring with a strange sound. He finally made it to that source of the sound and found a few thousand soldiers standing in front of a large drill.

There was five female soldiers in the middle of those hundred men soldiers.

It was normal that there would be less men than women in places like this, but Lin Fan noticed one of the girls seemed tattered from the distance. She looked like she just got beaten up, and wiped blood off her mouth as Lin Fan blurred and landed right next to her.

He sat down and nudged her as the troops all looked back with a mixture of fear and anger in their eyes.

"Who are you?" A Water Race soldier said as he pulled out his sword and walked towards Lin Fan, "Why aren't you in uniform? Why did you get your disguise so early?"

"You mean this human disguise? I'll tell you about that if you tell me why this girl is so hurt."

"She's our favorite girl when we're bored," The Water Race soldier Mon Bang said as he activated the element of fire up his blade. "She refuses to give up being a soldier, so we try and remind her of her place every once in a while."

"I see... So when someone has a dream you try and rip off her shirt?" Lin Fan cracked his neck and held out his hand before his black hair started to gently blow in the wind. "I thought there'd be a better reason then attacking a girl because she has dreams."

"What are you doing? Threatening us with a gesture?" Mon Bang said as he laughed and also held up his hand. "What can you possibly do, rookie? I can't even sense any energy on your body."

"That's because you're not opening your eyes," Lin Fan activated the law of fire which had gotten close to seventy percent mastery. "Tell me what you see in the silent world. I heard it's really quiet... Like the sound your mother made when she made you with your father,"

"I'll... I'll kill you!" Mon Bang charged forward and laughed before a line of light went through his heart. It was from the center of Lin Fan's hand, and bounced off the wall into the other hundreds of soldiers until only the five women were remaining.

Lin Fan decided to use the law of light to see if he could generate a powerful enough attack to kill Apotheosis Stage soldiers. The law of light allowed for someone to attack at near the speed of light with their elemental energy, but their attack would be like a poke to someone at their level.

The fact that Lin Fan was able to watch dozens of soldiers drop dead meant that he had a powerful new weapon in [light beam force]. It was an attack he somehow learned on the day of his bone augmentation in the grip of that horrible pain.

"Well, what are you going to do with me now?" The girl said as she stood up and as Mon Bang's body dropped with his head bouncing against the hard rocks, "You're obviously a human and not a Water Race member. You planning on torturing me, or killing me right now?"

"I'll keep all five of you as prisoners of war. If you want to submit to me, all you have to do is go next door. I don't plan on worrying about five girls in the Enchanted Realm."

"You should be worried," An Xan said as she walked over and rubbed his chest, "You should be worried what I'll do to you if you leave me next door. Just kill me now so I can forget what they did to me."

"Pain is meant to make you stronger," Lin Fan sighed and held up his hand as he activated the [eternal heart clock] to check back to five minutes before he came. He was getting stronger in the law of time, and decided to test if he could see anything from the past. This was called a time divination and was something all with mastery in the law of time could do.

The only problem was the law of time was fickle and unpredictable if you didn't use it properly. Lin Fan sighed as he seemed to have somehow looked into the distant past. He could see An Xan laying on the concrete as a child with three boys kicking her in an underwater city.

He sighed and opened his eyes and looked over at An Xan with a mixture of remorse and pity.

"I-I changed my mind. Take this and live a happy life," Lin Fan tossed An Xan Xi Lang's ring as he crossed his arms. "If any guy ever tries to beat you up again, just come find me at the Fan Sect and I'll kill their entire family."

"You-you're Lin Fan!" An Xan raised as she raised her brow and stared into her eyes. "I thought you're the type of guy that strings girls up and lashes them if they are on the other side. I've heard horror stories of you..."

"I only do that if girls like it," Lin Fan stepped down on his foot and prepared to leave, "If you want to have a place to be safe, remember to go to the Fan Sect. See you!"

Lin Fan sighed and activated [Light Scout] to go check on Chen Long as he started to head back to the Fan Sect Sun Warship.

When he went back into time, he felt like someone had deliberately pushed him from using it properly and felt his stomach turning as he exited through the water and began heading back to the Fan Sect Sun Warship.

"Well, it looks like I have a lot to learn tonight," Lin Fan turned into a line of light and instantly appeared in front of Mimi Fan as she began to turn the ship around back to the North Hills, "Mimi Fan, would you be angry if I tried to look into your past?"

"You wouldn't see much, chicken man" Mimi Fan smiled and jumped into Lin Fan's arms. "The only thing I have my head is you and I'm keeping it that way until I'm a thousand years old!"
