CHAPTER 617: CHAPTER 616: IN THE END, STILL LOST!

Lin Fan did not mind, he understood the actions of the Huang Family and even thought that if he were in their shoes, he would probably do the same.

"Are you Lin Fan?"

While Lin Fan was lost in his thoughts, a voice rang out.

Following that, a person approached.

A formidable aura erupted from the individual.

Just by seeing this person, Lin Fan knew their identity.

The Family Head of the Huang Family, Huang Yao!

Because Lin Fan knew, within the Huang Family, only Huang Yao possessed such strength.

Lin Fan stood up, clenched his fist towards Huang Yao, and said, "Brother Huang, it’s nice to meet you. I apologize for the intrusion, please forgive me, haha!"

"An intrusion?"

Huang Yao asked in return, chuckling: "Brother Lin, I think it’s more than just an intrusion, right? In my view, you are here to challenge us!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Brother Huang, you misunderstand; I merely came to learn from you!"

"To learn, you say?"

Huang Yao laughed loudly and said, "Well, let me see what skills Brother Lin has to offer!"

While speaking, Huang Yao did not give Lin Fan the chance to reply; he charged forward, a longsword already in his hand, and a flurry of sword shadows swept towards Lin Fan.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan’s brow furrowed slightly.

He hadn’t expected Huang Yao to be so impulsive.

"Good!"

Lin Fan quickly regained his composure, and the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear appeared in his hand.

Then, Lin Fan casually thrust the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear, a simple and plain move.

"What is this guy doing?"

Huang Yao couldn’t help but feel surprised when he saw Lin Fan’s action.

He could see that Lin Fan’s thrust was weak and limp, seeming to lack any force.

Huang Yao was very puzzled; why was Lin Fan’s move so weak and limp? Was he seeking his own death?

Soon, another thought crossed Huang Yao’s mind: "If you are seeking death, then let me fulfill that for you..."

Huang Yao showed no signs of stopping; his attack became even more ferocious and continued to sweep towards Lin Fan, enveloping him completely.

Huang Yao was utterly confident!

If Lin Fan were to face his attack in his current state, Huang Yao’s attack would crush him in the next moment.

Finally, their attacks collided.

The next moment, Huang Yao was stunned.

Because...

Huang Yao found Lin Fan’s attack to be weak and soft? It didn’t resist at all, like cotton.

At the same time, Huang Yao also discovered in horror that Lin Fan’s limp thrust had somehow redirected his attack back towards himself.

Borrowing Power!

Lin Fan was using the Borrowing Character Technique!

In fact, the main reason Lin Fan had come to find Huang Yao was to practice his Borrowing Character Technique.

Although Lin Fan had grasped the Borrowing Character Technique, there were many key aspects he did not understand, and he needed continuous battles to enhance it.

Caught off guard, Huang Yao had almost been injured by his own attack.

Fortunately, Huang Yao quickly saw the opportunity and managed to neutralize the counterattack aimed at him, but even so, Huang Yao had to retreat several steps.

"What is this...method?"

Huang Yao looked at Lin Fan, somewhat astonished, and asked.

"Heh heh..."

Lin Fan only smiled and did not speak.

"Good!"

A boundless War Intent burst forth from Huang Yao, who declared, "In that case, let’s have a proper battle then!"

The next moment, Huang Yao charged at Lin Fan like a ferocious Menghu, unleashing a fierce Sword Net attack toward Lin Fan.

"Good!"

Lin Fan also spoke a word of agreement, likewise using the Borrowing Character Technique, continuously engaging in combat with Huang Yao.

Initially, in the fight against Huang Yao, Lin Fan appeared somewhat raw and flustered, but as the battle continued, his understanding of the Borrowing Character Technique deepened.

With just the use of the Borrowing Character Technique, Lin Fan gradually gained the upper hand.

Boom...

Finally, Lin Fan borrowed Huang Yao’s attack, redirecting it back onto Huang Yao. With a muffled groan, Huang Yao took several steps back to stabilize himself.

Huang Yao regarded Lin Fan with astonished eyes.

Just now, Huang Yao may not have been injured, but that blow had almost eradicated all his fighting spirit.

"How about it? Admitting defeat?" Lin Fan looked at Huang Yao and said cheerfully.

After being addressed like this by Lin Fan, Huang Yao felt extremely irked inside.

"What? Admit defeat? Do you think that’s possible?"

Huang Yao shouted, "Let’s go again!"

Huang Yao charged at Lin Fan once more.

His attack on Lin Fan this time was far more ferocious than before.

It was clear, Huang Yao had utilized his Ultimate Move.

"Just now, by utilizing Huang Yao’s attack, I’ve pretty much grasped the concept of Borrowing Power. Next, let’s use his strength to comprehend Give With Back and One Borrowed Never Return!"

Borrowing Power, Give With Back, One Borrowed Never Return are the three key techniques of the Borrowing Character Technique. Lin Fan had already nearly grasped Borrowing Power, and now he needed to continue understanding Give With Back and One Borrowed Never Return.

Give With Back!

No matter how many attacks Huang Yao launched at Lin Fan, these attacks were all returned back to Huang Yao, who was gradually becoming overwhelmed.

At that moment, Huang Yao’s heart was collapsing. Shocked, he thought, "Damn it, what the hell is going on? What kind of secret does this guy possess? How can he unleash such terrifying attacks?"

"It looks like I should surrender!"

Huang Yao thought again.

At this point, Huang Yao finally understood that he was no match for Lin Fan.

Knowing that he was no match and that there was no point in fighting on, he might as well just surrender directly.

However...

Just as Huang Yao was preparing to surrender, Lin Fan employed Give Without Back!

"Eh? Is this guy running out of steam?" Huang Yao instantly grew excited, "It seems I should persist. Since this guy is running out of power, if I continue for a bit longer, I’ll be able to defeat him!"

Huang Yao persisted.

After Lin Fan used Give Without Back, Huang Yao initially seemed to have the advantage, but shortly after, as Lin Fan truly adapted to Give Without Back, Huang Yao just felt as if his energy was being continuously absorbed by Lin Fan. He was becoming increasingly weaker, while on the other hand, Lin Fan seemed to grow increasingly fierce.

"Enough is enough, in the end, I’ve still lost!"

Huang Yao stopped his attacks, no longer intending to continue the fight.

Because he was now certain that he was no match for Lin Fan.
