Chapter 77 - Cheated again

The shimmering text before Wen Ran flickered like a fire, each glowing symbol burning into his spiritual consciousness as he studied it with his energy. The strain on his spiritual reserves was immense—each moment he spent observing the text drained him further. Yet, despite the overwhelming fatigue, he refused to give up. Inch by inch, he absorbed the laws into his mind. It was the most difficult approach, but also the fastest. If Wen Ran had more time, he could meditate and slowly internalize the laws, but right now, time was against him. The lava surged steadily closer, and he knew that unless he acted quickly, he would soon be nothing more than a roasted corpse.
