Chapter 167 - 117: Frost Giant Dragon Core 3
Finally, he had to contend with the Ice Energy inside Lin Kong’s body, which was mentally taxing. He had to be careful that the aftershocks of their struggle didn’t harm Lin Kong, forcing him to expend even more energy.
"Hurry up and see if you can grab that Energy Core! If you can’t, we need to get out of here, now."
"If there’s another energy burst, we’re both goners," Yuan Xiaobo urged.
Lin Kong knew time was of the essence. He quickly ran to the Energy Core, coated his hands in Spiritual Energy, and lifted it.
Provoked, the Energy Core began to flicker, its energy growing unstable once again.
With lightning-fast reflexes, Lin Kong shoved it into his portable space just before it could unleash a wave of energy.
...
Back in the territory, Lin Yu received a message from Lin Kong.
He then pulled the massive Ice Energy Crystal from his portable space.
-----------------
[Name]: Ice Element Core
[Tier]: Epic
[Description]: An Elemental Core that has been filled with energy. It was once the Energy Core of a powerful giant dragon.
Due to a lack of control over the internal energy, the core will experience an energy burst every 1 to 5 hours, dispersing energy into its surroundings.
The energy bears the mark of a giant dragon; all creatures that absorb this energy will mutate and evolve into draconic beings.
[Instructions]: 1. Can be socketed into the Territory Core to increase the territory’s rate of passive energy generation, produce Ice Spiritual Energy, and increase the probability of spawning ice-affiliated inhabitants.
2. The energy within the core can be used to raise the tier of ice-affiliated inhabitants within the territory.
Normal Inhabitants: Common -> Excellent (1 energy), Excellent -> Exceptional (10 energy), Exceptional -> Legendary (100 energy), Legendary -> Mythical (1,000 energy), Mythical -> Epic (10,000 energy).
Heroic Territory Inhabitants: Excellent -> Exceptional (1,000 energy), Exceptional -> Legendary (10,000 energy), Legendary -> Mythical (100,000 energy), Mythical -> Epic (1,000,000 energy).
Current Available Energy: 990,000 / 10,000,000
Note 1: Energy consumption is calculated based on the energy purity of an Epic Tier core.
Note 2: The two usage methods do not interfere with each other.
-----------------
After decades of constantly releasing energy, the Energy Core had little of its original power left. Even so, the remaining energy was still immense and displayed an extremely corrosive nature.
HUMMM—
Once in Lin Yu’s hands, the Ice Element Core erupted with another energy wave. The powerful fluctuation spread outward, but in the next instant, the World Tree absorbed it completely. The energy had no effect on the surroundings, least of all on Lin Yu, who was holding the core.
The Ice Element Core’s remaining available energy dropped to 980,000.
"Such a waste..." Lin Yu’s heart ached at the sight. Holding the Ice Element Core, he teleported from the World Tree’s canopy down to the Lord’s Mansion at its heart. He made a beeline for the Lord Core, pried the existing Legendary Tier Ice Element Core from the Five Elements Core, and replaced it with the new Epic Tier one.
Once socketed into the Five Elements Core, the Ice Element Core stabilized. Its energy no longer leaked, and the bursts ceased.
Lin Yu then checked the other Elemental Cores. He discovered that with this new Ice Element Core installed, the system descriptions for the other cores now also displayed an energy progress bar.
Unfortunately, their progress was all at zero. According to the system description, they either needed a charging device to be filled or had to wait until the territory’s energy was saturated before they could naturally absorb ambient energy from the outside world.
Finally, the Legendary Tier Ice Element Core now in Lin Yu’s hand displayed a new description that left him deeply conflicted:
[Use this Legendary Tier Ice Element Core to charge the Epic Tier Ice Element Core, restoring 500,000 energy.]
