Chapter 1193: Chapter 179: I… I’m a Test Subject?! (7800)_5
The intelligence warfare had already begun back at the camp!
Even Ian had to admit, Gaer, who was the same age as him, had already reached the Second Level High Order in terms of power, and his actual combat prowess might have reached its peak, the Fifth Energy Level. The inheritance from the Master Throne gave him combat prowess far exceeding the average Second Energy Level. If Ian had only used one Bloodline True Form before obtaining the Pioneer of Iron, perhaps he would have found it difficult to match him in battle.
But now… Ian had already updated two-thirds of the book.
“Let’s go, to the second layer.”
With a slight smile, Ian didn’t pay much attention to Gaer’s battle. He turned his head and walked toward the entrance leading to the second layer: “They’ve already started taking action to acquire information about the relic, and we can’t be left behind.”
The entrance to the second layer of the relic was situated at an ‘elevator’ in the Accumulated Water Plains. This elevator was similar to the magnetic levitation elevator found in the World Tree City, but it had lost its power.
The relic’s power source was still operational, but many devices had lost their energy supply, so the staff of Canaan Moore had constructed a real elevator here.
However, even though this levitating elevator had lost power, the identity verification system was still operational.
An Fadao, familiar with the process, stood at a counter and placed her hand on a semi-transparent crystal screen: “We’ll start testing for ‘Dragon Blood’ or some kind of ‘permission’… According to the adventurers who first discovered this place years ago, they obtained an ‘identity card’ that could access the passage from the corpse of a pre-era civilization… These identity cards allowed free access to the first and second layers, but entry to the third layer required higher-level ‘researcher permissions.’ The logistics personnel used these identity cards to enter and exit the relic and construct the camp.”
“However, by relying on Dragon Blood, even without an identity card, we can access the third layer and even deeper areas… That’s why Canaan Moore assembled elites from the whole Terra with Dragon Blood or those related to dragons to explore this labyrinth.”
“Hmm.” Upon hearing this, Ian couldn’t help but be intrigued: “That previous Gaer… does he also have Dragon Blood?”
“Of course.” The Elf Girl shrugged: “His strong muscles and bones are the work of Dragon Blood… Although it was a postnatal transformation, for us Sublimators, what’s the difference between postnatal modification and innate ability?”
The crystal lit up with a green light, and the passage opened as Anfa passed the identity verification test.
Nodding slightly, Ian looked toward the counter. At that moment, he fully understood that compared to his Dragon Blood, the Silver Chip was the biggest ‘permission’ to access this relic.
The Heterogenous Research Institute’s Director ‘Pioneer’… his permission was the highest will here!
However, was it really necessary to use the Silver Chip to pass through this first layer passage now?
Ian looked at Yisen Gard beside him, the blond boy’s body exuded a green glow, without a trace of black-red… yet if he used the Silver Chip… a red lightning would immediately appear!
It seemed the first layer didn’t require the Silver Chip yet. Considering this, the Prophet made a decision, following Anfa he was the second to come to the counter and placed his hand on the crystal.
Then, Ian froze in place.
Because a familiar message followed the special port of the Silver Chip and was directly transmitted into his mind.
[Identity verification… unregistered]
[Dragon Blood detected… concentration 31%, purity 98%]
[Marked as High-Level Intelligent Test Subject]
[Granted high-level access permissions]
Besides Ian, no one else could sense the message that was transmitted from the Silver Chip, which made the white-haired boy’s heart skip and then realize.
He finally understood why the Heterogenous Research Institute controlled everyone’s permissions, only allowing those with Dragon Blood to access!
He finally understood why the Heterogenous Research Institute required entrants to have Dragon Blood, demanding power, specific age, and potential!
He also finally understood why there might be special restricted ‘access permissions’ for various bloodlines in numerous labyrinths on the Terra Continent!
This requirement was precisely the permission for test subjects!
