18 05 - Birth of the New Dragon of Supremacy!
It was now their 3rd day since waking in this world and Fang Lin was currently exploring below the military grounds of the Ancient Orchid City Ruins. With his current realm, and being alone naturally made travelling here really easy. His foreknowledge also helped in searching for what he was looking for. Fang Lin however was currently facing a dilemma and that is... how much of these treasures should he take and/or how much to leave behind...
After a bit of thinking, Fang Lin chose to take all the weapons and armors and converted those into points.
[EP: 459,200 -> 682,420]
"Hmm... not bad at all... now then, as for the golds and other valuables... I guess 10% will be enough to cover for those 'Purple Haze Grass' with some leftovers. All that's left are... the spiritual lamp and the Emperor Kong Ming's tomb huh?... You know what, since I'm a nice person, I'll at least leave some leftover for Nie Li since it would be useless to me anyways..."
After walking a bit and being careful not trigger any traps along the way, Fang Lin finally reached the area where the tomb is. Just as he was walking towards the coffin however, he actually pushed back and unable to continue any further! No way... he thought that in the original series, Ye Ziyun only got pushed back because her strength was too low but to think that Fang Lin, whom was at 3-Star Black Gold realm in strength actually got pushed back as well!
"Tch... this wasn't part of the plan! Damn it.... do I really need to get the Temporal Demon Spirit Book from Nie Li after all? No... that option is not possible unless I killed Nie Li for that however something like that is against my moral codes. Kill only those that deserves it... or those that harbors ill thoughts on my women. Definitely that last one... Not to mention I still need Nie Li to antagonize the Sacred Family and take the spotlight off of me for sometimes yet."
Even after thinking for awhile, Fang Lin still could not find a solution to this barrier so he had no choice but to turn the system yet again. While he was sure there might many other ways however, there were only two options he found that he was familiar with.
[C-rank: Rule Breaker - 50,000]
[S-rank: Divine Dividing - 750,000]
While both options were feasible, Rule Breaker has too little use in terms of utility not to mention the fact that it cannot grow along side him. As for the Divine Dividing.... Fang Lin just grimaced when he looked over his EP.

"Damn it! Why am I always short on points when I need something! I can't even use the Discount Token either..." All of a sudden, something clicked within Fang Lin's mind and gave himself the biggest 'facepalm' to date. "Of course! Discount tokens! Weren't there other, cheaper versions as well? Let's see... ah there we go!"
[Discount Token (10%) - 10,000]
[Discount Token (30%) - 100,000]
[Discount Token (60%) - 500,000]
"Hm, the 60% one is no good since I don't have enough while the 10% is just barely enough but... that will pretty much clean me out.... 2nd option it is! BUY!"
*DING!*
[IP: 441,000 -> 341,000]
"Hmm, while I wanted to wait until I have enough points to get both at the same time... And my goal of reaching 1 million IP for my next summon is getting further and further away as well.... well needs over wants. BUY!"
*DING!*
[EP: 682,420 -> 157,429]
All of a sudden, Fang Lin felt as if a foreign object was invading his soul space. Said foreign object was also trying to attach itself to Fang Lin's soul however, there was no panic in his face as he closed his eyes and allowed it to do whatever it needed. When he opened his eyes again however, Fang Lin discovered he was no longer in Emperor Kong Ming's tomb. The thing that greeted him was a massive western white dragon with 2 blue eyes and on its head, 2 horns of gold. Although one might say his looks is actually closer to that of a snake rather than a dragon. Right! Currently in front of Fang Lin is one of the twin heavenly dragons, Albion, the Vanishing Dragon!
"Well, this is a surprise. I didn't think I would get to meet you already, White Dragon of Supremacy, Albion..." Fang Lin simply said after a bit of a pause. Any normal person would normally be surprised and intimidated if a giant dragon were to suddenly appear in front of them. Since he was expecting this however, Fang Lin was only a bit surprised but even more so, excited. Since he can already chat with said dragon face to face, it meant he could already use this sacred gear to a certain degree.
"Hoh... you don't seem surprised to see me as you've claimed, human. Oh? You seem to have Phenex blood in you yet still born with a sacred gear? A half devil is it then?" Albion said in intrigue. He had been with many hosts over the years, yet this seem to be the first time a non pure human had become his host.
Hearing Albion's mumbling, Fang Lin just chuckled which caught the white dragon's attentions. "Hm... well, while it's true I have Phenex blood however, I'm not exactly a devil either. Well, get yourself comfortable, I will be explaining to you some important things since we'll be partners from now on..."
After about an hour's passed by, Fang Lin finally finished explaining his origins, how he came to possess the system, what it could do, what he's been doing for the past year, where they are now, and most importantly what he planned on doing in the future. Throughout all of Fang Lin's stories, Albion just patiently listen to everything without uttering a single word.
"Haahahahaha! Interesting! This is interesting!" All of a sudden though, Albion just bellowed out a big laugh, almost blowing Fang Lin off his feet. Surprisingly there's no bad breath... do heavenly dragons take good care of their dental hygiene?
"I have the best possible host there is! Wait until I get to rub it in that Red bastard's face! Host, no Fang Lin... no Partner! From now on, we'll show everyone throughout the vast multiverse, what true supremacy is! We'll show them the true white paradise!" said Albion happily. Un... better not tell him he planned to get Ddraig as well when he has enough points... who knows what his reactions would be then...
"Agreed, here's to our future partnership. We'll show all the worlds what Supremacy truly means!" saying so, he held out his fist towards Albion. Going along with his new partner, Albion also held out his giant claws and fist? bump with Fang Lin. Then all of a sudden, Fang Lin returned to Emperor Kong Ming's tomb.
"Well then... back to business... hey Albion, do you think I could use 'Balance Breaker'?" Then all of a sudden, glowing steel wings of white sprouted from his back and Albion's voice could be heard.
"While yes you could however, you will barely be able to hold it for an around an hour. Even less in combat since you haven't practiced using the sacred gear as of yet. With more practice though, you should be able to hold it indefinitely with your current strength. As for Juggernaut Drive... forget about it for now. You're still far from that level."
Nodding in understanding, Fang Lin theorise that once he's reached the 'Spirit' Tier, he should be able to forcibly use Juggernaut for a short time without causing extreme damage to his life force. That however is still far off in the future. Before that, let's focus on what he was here for in the first place. With a thought, Fang Lin entered 'Balance Breaker'.... or at least he tried to.
"W-what's going on?" asked Albion in a panicky voice. Now concerned, Fang Lin also entered into his soul realm and what he saw almost popped his eyes out of their sockets. What he saw was the 'Heavenly God' technique automatically revolving, and Albion is found sitting in his own space and integrating into his soul realm.
".....wot...?" Dumbly said Fang Lin. Albion on the other hand, just examined himself in wonder. It felt... as if he was more connected to Fang Lin more than he did while he in the sacred gear now. He even felt a strange energy coursing through him to Fang Lin and then back, all the whilst growing even stronger than before. Or rather, it was actually his strength recovering little by little.
While this was happening, Fang Lin's soul realm increased in size by at least 1 fold! And his speed while cultivating in the 'Heavenly Gods' technique is at least twice as fast as before as well! Realizing a possibility, he quickly got in contact with Xiao Bai and told Ning'er to try and integrate with her 'Zanpakuto' when she had the chance. Holy crap... if what he thought was possible... then that means Ning'er could integrate and become one with her Zanpakuto just like Ichigo did with the 'Final' Getsuga Tenshou. And without the risk of her losing any of her strength at that! His waifu will become hella OP!
Paying attention towards Albion again, Fang Lin just simply said "Albion, no worries, it seems to be the effect of my cultivation technique. You should have felt it as well, that your strength is also recovering as we speak. Even faster if I actively cultivate. Well partner, our future is looking brighter and brighter than before" Hearing what Fang Lin had said, Albion just bellowed out another laughter in agreement. Seeing this, just smirked and left his soul realm.
"Now then, let's try this again to see if it works normally... I could try integrating with Albion later." This time Fang Lin successfully entered Balance Breaker. As he expected, his new form is covered in white armor. His steel wings on the back is releasing bluish white particles. Gripping his fists, Fang Lin turned towards the barrier and touched it. Next thing that happened, was the sweet sound of 'Divine Dividing' doing it's magic.
[DIVIDE!][DIVIDE!][DIVIDE!][DIVIDE!][DIVIDE!]
After the 5th [DIVIDE!], the barrier seemed to have weakened enough that Fang Lin simply walked through it like it wasn't even there. After that he just opened the lid of the coffin and what he found was as expected, a gemstone pendant, and a piece of paper which should be the remnant page of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book. Then he simply stored the pendant intending to gift to one of the girls later. Just as he was about to store the remnant page however, it suddenly glowed and burrowed deep into the depth of his soul realm.
This of course surprised Fang Lin however, since even with Nie Li's memories, he didn't know anything about the book and its remnant pages, he no longer worried about it. After another sweep of the place, he didn't find anything else useful so he went back to the entrants and reset all the mechanism. Then a magical circle flashed under his feet as Fang Lin teleported back to his room, in Glory City.
