CHAPTER 657: CHAPTER 656: THE RELUCTANT SPEAR SOUL

"No, this is not the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear!"

Soon, Lin Fan was puzzled again, because he discovered that the aura emanating from the long spear before him was much more powerful than that of the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear.

"What exactly is going on here? Why does this spear look exactly like the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear, but its aura is even stronger? One could even say, the auras of the two are not on the same level at all!"

"No, that’s not right..."

In the next moment, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Lin Fan’s mind.

"Perhaps, the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear that I’ve been using is not the real Heaven Punishment Divine Spear, but rather... a counterfeit version of it!"

At this thought, Lin Fan looked at the spear before him again, and pondered: "Maybe this is the real Heaven Punishment Divine Spear?"

For a time, Lin Fan’s heart was excited to the extreme.

Previously, the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear has significantly improved Lin Fan’s attacks. It can be said that in many major battles, Lin Fan had won with the help of the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear.

If...

If the previous Heaven Punishment Divine Spear was indeed a fake, and this spear before him was the real one, then without a doubt, with the help of this Heaven Punishment Divine Spear, his strength would become even more terrifying.

"I hope my speculation is true!"

Lin Fan was somewhat hopeful.

Afterward, Lin Fan stepped forward, ready to reach out and grab the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear before him.

Buzz...

Just at that moment, Lin Fan suddenly felt the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear emit a light moan.

At the same time, a massive amount of energy was directly released from within the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear, sweeping towards Lin Fan like a tide.

"Argh!"

Lin Fan grunted and took a step back!

Just now, caught off guard by the powerful aura, Lin Fan almost suffered a loss, even close to being injured.

Lin Fan looked at the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear once again, his heart becoming even more puzzled; why would it summon him here if it intended to stop him?

"To take me away, you must make me submit!"

At that moment, a faint voice echoed from the void around him.

At the same time, a phantom image appeared before Lin Fan.

This phantom image was so ethereal that Lin Fan couldn’t make out what it actually was.

"Make you submit?"

Lin Fan’s brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the phantom before him.

Lin Fan knew that the phantom before him was the Spear Soul of the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear.

The phantom said lightly, "Yes, make me submit. If you can’t make me submit, then don’t think about taking me away. Only the strong are worthy to be my master. If you want to be my master, then you must prove yourself to be a strong one!"

The voice of the phantom not only exuded calmness but also carried a hint of indifference.

Lin Fan asked, "In that case, how can I make you submit?"

The phantom replied, "That’s your business!"

After a brief pause, the phantom continued, "Remember, you only have an hour. If you cannot make me submit within an hour, then you will lose your chance!"

Lin Fan fell silent.

At that point, Lin Fan had already activated the Universal Image’s function to find weaknesses.

He was using the Universal Image’s function to search for the weak points of the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear.

Lin Fan was well aware that to make the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear submit, he would have to find its weakness and address it directly.

"So that’s how it is!"

Soon, Lin Fan began to smile.

Because he had found the vulnerability of the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear through the Universal Image.

It seemed that the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear also noticed Lin Fan’s smile and asked, "Why are you smiling?"

The shadow directly posed the question to Lin Fan.

"Heh heh!"

Lin Fan smiled again, then said indifferently, "To make you submit, actually, is not difficult at all!"

"Haha..."

The shadow scoffed and said, "You’re not very strong, but you sure talk big. You say it’s not difficult to make me submit? Very well, I would like to see how you’re going to make me submit."

The Spear Soul of Heaven Punishment Divine Spear had its own will.

At this moment, the Spear Soul was feeling rather annoyed, even deciding that later on, it must teach Lin Fan a lesson, to save him from his own arrogance.

"Alright!"

Lin Fan, still with a casual demeanor, asked, "Are you ready? If you are, then I shall make my move!"

The Spear Soul sneered and said, "Go ahead, make your move. But don’t forget what I told you earlier: you only have an hour. If you can’t make me submit in an hour, not only will you be unable to take me, but I will also make you suffer tremendously!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Why would I need half an hour?"

As he spoke, Lin Fan’s mind stirred, and a powerful surge of energy appeared from his body, heading straight for the Sword Soul.

The power of Monarch Power!

Lin Fan had immediately summoned the power of Monarch Power in the first instant.

Because through the Universal Image, Lin Fan quickly discovered that the weakness of the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear was precisely the Monarch Power. In other words, the impact of other energies on the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear was not significant unless the power reached an extremely strong level; otherwise, it would be very difficult to use force to make the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear submit.

But...

The Monarch Power was different!

Once the Monarch Power appeared, the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear would be completely powerless to fight back.

Upon sensing Lin Fan’s Monarch Power, the Spear Soul of the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear was also taken aback.

"Not good!"

The Spear Soul exclaimed in shock, preparing to retreat.

What a pity, Lin Fan was well prepared this time, and since he had made his move, how could he possibly give the Spear Soul a chance to dodge and retreat?

Lin Fan sneered and said, "Thinking of dodging now? It’s too late!"

The Monarch Power was already fully affecting the Spear Soul.

Instantly, the Spear Soul became unable to move.

Even more, the Monarch Power continued to deplete the energy of the Spear Soul, which would only become increasingly disadvantaged if this continued.

Lin Fan did not continue to attack; otherwise, if he wished, he could even use the Monarch Power to directly annihilate the Spear Soul.

"How about it?"

Lin Fan sneered and said, "Are you willing to submit now?"

At this moment, the Spear Soul was feeling quite awful.

Originally, the Spear Soul had decided, that even if it ultimately had to submit to Lin Fan, it wanted to give Lin Fan a hard time, but unexpectedly, in front of Lin Fan, it was so easily defeated? So easily controlled by him?

To tell the truth, the Spear Soul was somewhat unwilling to accept this.
