But in the face of the Dragon Heart Core, how many people in this world can remain unshaken?
Ian and Sio both knew that Ian absolutely wouldn’t deceive them at this moment, not to mention that overwhelming dragon aura, with a presence thick enough to shake the mountainous earth—everything proves that within Ian, there truly exists a heart core of an Earth-attributed True Dragon.
A heart core of the Fifth Energy Level...!
"No wonder, Ian, you could win against that dragon! Oh my, a heart core of the Fifth Energy Level, my mother never managed to coalesce one!"
Sio excitedly stood up, pacing back and forth several times, only returning to her seat to speak solemnly to the white-haired youth once her shock subsided: "You really don’t understand what this represents, do you?"
"It means... as long as you reach the peak of the Fourth Energy Level, you can try to break through to the Fifth Energy Level!"
These words left Ian stunned: "What does this mean?"
"The Fifth Energy Level is not achieved by ascending with Magic Potion."
Yisen contained his amazement and surprise, taking a deep breath to calmly explain to Ian: "Magic Potion’s limit is the Fourth Energy Level... to break through to the Fifth Energy Level, various methods are needed to acquire the key strengths of the Fifth Energy Level."
"Representatives like a heart core as an energy source, a spiritual neural network representing spirit energy and reaction capabilities, the spine representing will perception... along with many others, such as power of the authority system representing destructiveness, the Immortal Bone representing vitality, and the Crystal Soul representing computational ability..."
"Obtaining any one of these enables a sublimator at the peak of the Fourth Energy Level to break through to ’the Fifth Energy Level’."
Upon reaching this point, Yisen calms down slowly. He points to Ian’s chest and states seriously: "Gather three, and you can claim to be fully Fifth Energy Level. However, it’s still not the ’Master Throne’."
"The so-called Master Throne refers to the ’Fifth Energy Level Inheritance’ capable of passing down at least two Fifth Energy Level Sublimation Organs to the next generation!"
"Like our Ellen Family, even if by chance, we acquire the materials of a Fifth Energy Level Magical Beast, transform it into our own, and have a Fifth Energy Level individual... it is merely temporary."
"If our technology hasn’t reached the point where Fifth Energy Level power can be transmitted to the next generation’s successor, we remain just temporary upstarts, unworthy of being called Master Throne!"
"Even being able to pass on one is viewed as a ’future major power’ in reserve."
The blonde youth spoke earnestly: "That’s what you currently possess, Ian."
"Although it’s unclear how the First Knight managed to pass his Dragon Heart Core to you... but now, you already own the ticket to stepping into the Fifth Energy Level!"
"Moreover, you have the ’Power Furnace Core’ of the Fourth Energy Level..." At this, Yisen couldn’t suppress his excitement and, like Sio, began pacing around Ian: "This means, the time you’ll become Fourth Energy Level will be less than we imagined!"
"Oh heavens, oh heavens... So, once you reach Fourth Energy Level and then peak, you’ll be able to break through to the Fifth Energy Level effortlessly... How old will you be then? Maybe not even thirty? At most, a bit over thirty? The First Knight wasn’t this fast, with Embrace Light above..."
Yisen Gard looked about to faint, clearly astounded by such a possibility: "You’ve already gathered those crucial materials for a sublimator so early..."
"Unbelievable... even though I thought it would save some trouble, now it seems... it’s more than just a little."
Ian suddenly understood. He looked down at the blinking light on his chest, revealing a subtle smile: "Teacher... you really have helped me a lot."
After a silence, the youth raised his head: "Speaking of which, how Teacher managed to pass the Ancient Dragon Heart Core to me is something I feel necessary to tell you, it relates to the reason I fought the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon."
Waving his hand, Ian signaled his friends to stop pacing around him: "It’s an extraordinary tool gifted by a super civilization named Star God, to the ’Pioneers’, passed down through generations, from Inega II to my teacher Hiliard, and then Teacher Hiliard..."
"Let’s put that aside for now. I already know, you’re the direct heir of your great-grandfather and the First Knight, having inherited their important legacy, which includes the Ancient Dragon Heart Core."
Yisen shook his head, indicating such important news needn’t be told to them hastily here: "Instead, I have vital information to share with you."
"It concerns the ’Sun-eclipse Refining Dragon Bloodline’ within me."
Yisen shared the information related to the ’Thousand-Star Dragon’, he’d obtained from the Ancient Dragon Echo with Ian.
"... Ancient Dragon Echo... Blazing Suspended Star Dragon preserving its consciousness within its residual body fragments."
Frowning slightly, Ian entirely understood Yisen’s cautiousness—the information was indeed crucial: "I, too, learned from Echo, which is controlled by the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon behind us, about the ’Thousand-Star Beast’s’ true form."
"It’s an ancient and powerful spark of a super civilization... it devours entire ecosystems and other sparks, hence sealed beneath Terra’s earth..."
