Chapter 1194: Chapter 180: Everyone Can Be a Dragon! (6200)
"Isnât this just like how the âMaster of the Labyrinthâ in the South Sea Great Labyrinth is essentially just a janitor and scapegoat administrator?"
The first thing Ian thought of was the position of the Labyrinth Master he had tossed to Shasha, followed by the sigh of âlaughing to death, indeed just like thatâ.
He was suspicious at the time that many of the seemingly wondrous restrictions in the labyrinths of Terra were likely just some ordinary regulations from past civilizationsâa sort of labyrinth restriction akin to a dust-free lab initiating a high-temperature sterilization when the room gets dirty.
The strong and noble families on Terra could understand, but ordinary adventurers could not. They accumulated countless lessons from experience but they could never compare with the nobles who held inherited knowledge.
A true saying... always remains an unbreakable truth.
In the Exotic Species Research Institute, dragon blood had easy access, likely because they were researching dragons then. It might even have been multiple related studies conducted with the cooperation of true dragons.
As friendly collaborators, true dragons themselves would have permissions, and as results of the experiments, those half-dragon blooded individuals would certainly need permissions too, thus making dragon blood part of identification.
But now...
Concealing his amusement, Ian thought, "This is indeed a trap."
Honestly, with Ianâs moral view, the first thing he thought of was using such facts to set a trap for capturing rare talents with dragon blood.
If he were the Echoes of the Pioneer, he would use the relics to make traps, employing various relic systems to collect dragon blood and Sublimation Path essencesâdragons blooded individuals would progress quickly on the Sublimation Path, considered geniuses, and their bloodline true form inheritance would result in âoutcomesâ unforeseeable even by the Pioneer founder.
With Echoâs power, absorbing these results would undoubtedly lead to remarkable achievements.
Just like now, young talents from Terraâs major factions had their representatives attending, if Echoes of the Pioneer captured them all...
"Dark Gold Colossus Dragon."
Ian had an epiphany, "Indeed, just like that."
The Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, a powerful entity lurking in the Exotic Species Research Institute, was nearly at a complete Fifth Energy Level now... yet it still lacked some crucial elements.
Perhaps it was materials, perhaps information, perhaps its calculations werenât complete, but thus far, without interference on the Spirit Disaster Path, this Dark Gold Colossus Dragon was already strong for the Fifth Energy Level and also possessed the âPhototransformationâ ability.
Previously, Ian hadnât thought much, for who knew which bloodlines had Phototransformation abilities? But now it seemed... this Phototransformation ability likely stemmed from the Setar Imperial Family!
Aina Sertar, the sonâs Crown Prince, the Imperial Grand Prince. This young royal member, slightly older than Ian, was participating in this Empireâs Exploration Team.
On the Spirit Disaster Path, Ian believed that his cousin in Yisen Gard would surely be captured and analyzed for bloodlines by the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon.
And not just that...
"Crown Prince Carlosâ fate of grave injury nearing death... itâs definitely no lie."
Ian squinted, feeling he was gradually connecting numerous clues: "If Crown Prince Carlos entered the relic to save his son, then got ambushed, gravely injured, and was on the brink of death... that explains a lot."
"After all, researching the Solar Phoenix Bloodline, itâs surely more effective with a Fourth Energy Level than a Second Energy Level."
Piecemealing valuable information and analyzing it is a Prophetâs required skill.
Ian also confirmed that Canaan Mooreâs Speaker Yafada likely had major secrets, possibly even collaborating with that Dark Gold Colossus Dragon... After all, with his space-time abilities, it wouldnât be hard to communicate with the other party, and the signal they wanted him to release...
"Interesting. No wonder whether I use the Silver Chip or not Iâd face danger; only by cautiously using the Silver Chip is there a slight chance of survival."
Ianâs lips curled up; he laughed, finding this sense of danger exceedingly intriguing.
Sometimes, awareness of danger was of no use. Because some resources and information must be acquired through risk... and then, fear and hesitation were futile.
Ian could only, and would only, find it interesting. This was his nature.
"This time, thereâs no need to use the Silver Chip."
With this thought, Ian passed through the detection passage. His dragon blood was qualified, no less than Anfaâs synthetic body, perhaps even higher.
Having a legitimate Ancient Dragon Heart Core, in this aspect, Ian was a genuine Dragon Blood Inheritor.
Sio naturally did not need mention; she and Anfa, even in a synthetic body, had a relatively high dragon blood concentration, just not yet cultivated, mainly fighting with the Dragon Soul.
As for Yisen Gard...
With a green light, he passed as well.
"Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon is also a dragon?"
Ian was shocked, as he originally thought Yisen Gard would use some other odd dragon blood relic as a pass; this was a method some exploration team members prepared, for some small country teams never planned to explore further, just going through the motions, and Yisen Gard probably used this method too.
