The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

It seems I have grown old, thinking too narrowly about my apprentice. But to my surprise, my apprentice has such a broad heart. With great power comes great responsibility. Xiao Qi has grown up.

Of course, to Tian Chu Zhenren, who is hundreds of years old, Ye Tianfan, who appears to be in his twenties, is like a mere infant in front of him.

"It seems I have overthought, but rest assured, I will try my best to get more compensation for you." At this point, seeing Ye Tianfan wanting to refuse, Tian Chu Zhenren hurriedly added, "Don't rush to refuse, because it's not me providing this compensation. We'll go to Taichu Peak to get compensation, meaning it's the sect leader who's providing it, so when the time comes, if you want anything, feel free to let me know. I will try to get more for you, and if it's not too excessive, the sect leader generally won't refuse."

Tian Chu Zhenren laughed and said, after all, it is a legitimate plunder.

Ye Tianfan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. If there is anything I want, I'll definitely say it without hesitation."

"Hmm, it's good that you think so. Don't be polite when the time comes," Tian Chu Zhenren said. After speaking, he straightened his posture and seriously said to Ye Tianfan, "Now, let's start erasing your imprint on the Xiaoyao Sword. Then hand it over to me. I'll wait for the sect leader to return, and I'll deliver this sword to him."

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and placed the Xiaoyao Sword on his lap, preparing to erase his imprint from the sword.

Seeing this, Tian Chu Zhenren turned and left, since the process of erasing the imprint would take a long time, and Ye Tianfan would also be in great pain throughout. Thus, Tian Chu Zhenren did not want to stay and watch, as he couldn't help with anything anyway.

As soon as Ye Tianfan placed the Xiaoyao Sword on his lap, he began to probe into the Xiaoyao Sword with his Divine Sense. Upon sensing the location of his imprint, Ye Tianfan immediately used his Divine Sense to remove the two imprints.

But to Ye Tianfan's surprise, as soon as he exerted force to pull off the imprint all at once, it felt as if tens of thousands of needles were piercing his head.

This caused Ye Tianfan to feel an unbearable pain in his Divine Sense, followed by a knife-like pain slicing through his soul.

And the soul being cut by a knife is far more painful than the body being cut. One could endure physical pain with strong willpower, but the soul is the will itself. How can one endure when the will is directly harmed?

Moreover, when a soul is cut, it could directly turn a person into a vegetative state. The soul is an incredibly important thing. Anything involving the soul is mysterious, even sinister.

Ye Tianfan did not know that erasing his imprint would be so painful. Moreover, there were two of Ye Tianfan's imprints on the Xiaoyao Sword. One was placed when Ye Tianfan had not discovered the Power of Purification and was impressed into the sword's core. The other was imprinted on the small white ball of the Power of Purification after Ye Tianfan discovered it. At this moment, Ye Tianfan felt deep regret for these two imprints because he did not know erasing them would be so painful at the time.

Had he known, he would have transferred the internal imprint of the Xiaoyao Sword to the core, the small white ball of the Power of Purification. But Ye Tianfan did not know it would hurt this much, so he did not care about the imprint, directly imprinting a new one on the surface of the Power of Purification in the sword.

If Ye Tianfan had known beforehand how painful erasing the imprint would be, he would never have left the second imprint. But now, he has to remove both imprints from the Xiaoyao Sword, which he must do himself.

Otherwise, if any imprint remains on the Xiaoyao Sword, whether in the core's Power of Purification or inside the sword itself, it would cause Tian Chu Zhenren to not fully resonate with the Magical Treasure.

This would lead to insufficient power when Tian Chu Zhenren uses the Xiaoyao Sword.

Of course, if Ye Tianfan was in such a situation, he wouldn't be able to use the Magical Treasure because it carries someone else's imprint.

Tian Chu Zhenren can use the Xiaoyao Sword with Ye Tianfan's imprint because Ye Tianfan's strength is much lower, making the imprint less effective on Tian Chu Zhenren. Also, Tian Chu Zhenren can suppress the imprint with his strength in a short amount of time. As long as the imprint owner's strength is below the Ten Directions Realm, Tian Chu Zhenren can generally suppress the Magical Treasure's imprint in a short time.

If the imprint owner is in the Ten Directions Realm, then Tian Chu Zhenren would not be able to use this Magical Treasure since their strength would be in the same realm, making the imprint equally formidable.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan was confused because he didn't know erasing an imprint from a Magical Treasure would be this painful. Using too much force to erase it all at once, he ended up in shock from the pain.

It should be noted that even when others erase their own imprints from a Magical Treasure, they do it gradually to mitigate the pain. Although it remains painful, stretching the pain over time makes it more bearable. Ye Tianfan was unaware of this and initially attempted to erase the entire imprint directly.

Now, overwhelmed by the pain, Ye Tianfan felt he couldn't continue. It was an indescribable pain, not localized anywhere specific, just a profound internal agony.

This is the pain of the soul.

Ye Tianfan sighed and once again fiercely used his Divine Sense to erase the imprint. As a result, he found himself writhing on the ground from the pain.

As for why Ye Tianfan didn't try to erase the imprint gradually, it was because he didn't know this method existed. He thought everyone endured the intense pain while erasing the imprint completely.

This recent pain made Ye Tianfan feel that he had erased about one-third of the imprint.
