999: Chapter 101 This Time It Really Turned into a Dragon (5700)_2 999: Chapter 101 This Time It Really Turned into a Dragon (5700)_2 (And they learned about the existence of the Foresight Twin Leaves through various channels, believing it caused the misjudgment, so they sent an investigation team to look into it…

Coincidentally, Elder Pude was also preparing to enhance my prophetic abilities, and he was investigating this as well.)

(In this way, the Huai Guang Church, which already knew quite a bit of intel, can now confirm that I am indeed a Prophet—what a coincidence.)

However, if the Retrospection Sect really has a way to detect a technology like the Temporary Netherworld, then they must be well aware of Duke Sorin’s Deceased Monarch plan.

And yet, the Retrospection Sect did not stop the birth of the Deceased Monarch…

Unable to stop it?

Or are they one of the driving forces behind Sovereign Technology?

Both are possible.

Ian shook his head; he didn’t want to think about this for now.

The Retrospection Sect would definitely come looking for him in the future.

When the time comes, whether to collaborate or take other actions could be decided then.

Whatever move they make, all he needed to do was wait in the Xia Hui Territory.

As for now…

“Let’s go find Shasha first.”

This time, Ian brought Elder Pude and Elan directly to the seaside to find Shasha and Hua’an, so they could all head to the South Sea Great Labyrinth together.

On the way, Ian also performed a thorough check on Elan’s body.

Now, Elan could already be considered half a Spirit Energy User.

With the meditation technique of the Huai Guang Church, Ian could even see the emergence of some primitive Spirit Substance in Elan’s body.

This is the advantage of Spirit Energy Users: they naturally nurture their souls and step into the ranks of Sublimators.

Even without any Magic Potion, as long as one possesses Spirit Energy, they are a Sublimator—this is the iron law of Terra.

Ian also keenly sensed that the so-called connection between Elan and the “Crystal Creatures” wasn’t in the body… but in the soul.

What could this mean?

With such thoughts, they arrived at a seafood farming facility run by the White Folks.

This was also the exit point where Shasha contacted Qingchao Scott previously, and where Hua’an Shuangdie took Elan out to play later.

Qingchao had already been waiting here for a long time.

“Boss.”

From afar, the blue-haired swordsman stood up on the coastal floating bridge as Ian and the others approached, while a bright flash of light also flickered simultaneously: “Ooh!

(Boss!)”

“Qingchao, Shasha, you both look pretty lively.”

Ian stepped directly into the sea, and a massive Iron Armor Shark sped toward him, colliding with Ian… replicating Elan’s earlier behavior, but with slightly more force.

Ian almost had to use the power of his Essence Furnace Core to withstand Shasha’s impact.

“…You’ve grown quite fast.”

After catching his breath, Ian carefully observed Shasha’s current condition and found it incredibly healthy—the dull silver outer shell, the streamlined body contours, the orderly protruding electrical crystals on its back, and the increasingly perfected soul structure… It could be said that Shasha was the healthiest, happiest Magical Beast Ian had seen in years!

This level of health couldn’t possibly be explained by natural growth!

Even with Ian guiding Shasha’s development using Foresight View, the results wouldn’t be this outstanding.

Yet in nearly a full year without seeing it, how had it managed to grow so well?

“Oooh?

Ooo!”

As he pondered, Ian posed the question, and Shasha, through body movements and subtle soul links, conveyed some information in response.

“You’re saying that an elf visited you, carefully advised you on what you should and shouldn’t eat, and even taught you how to swim properly to make sure every part of your body got a workout…”

Ian listened and started feeling a sense of familiarity.

“Isn’t that Master Oak?

He really came to see you in South Ridge?”

Master Oak was an elf Torchbearers leader who followed Anfa, a friend of Marquis Barton, and an avid shark enthusiast.

Although a wood-element Sublimator, his Heart Light Body was a shark—a very unique Third Energy Level powerhouse.

Master Oak claimed he was pursuing Anfa, but in reality, he was likely dispatched by the Ashlight Family as a senior protector for Anfa.

Realizing that Ian had interacted with Anfa and was someone favored by Marquis Barton, he had likely extended special attention to Ian.

After discovering the remarkably healthy shark Ian was raising, he became interested enough to visit the South Sea Great Labyrinth and personally guide Shasha’s growth.

“The next time I go to Canaan Moore, if I have the chance to meet Master Oak, I’ll have to thank him properly.”

Ian examined Shasha again and realized that Master Oak had genuinely taught it everything he knew.

He couldn’t help but marvel, “The world is truly full of surprises.

Shasha, you’re practically a protagonist template—just eating fish and crashing into ships in the South Sea, and someone falls from the sky to give you a manual… You truly are lucky!”

“Ooh!”

Shasha didn’t understand what a protagonist template was; it was simply delighted to see Ian and spun joyfully in the water.

However, in addition to this, Ian noticed that Shasha’s condition within the Silver Chip also showed the same “crystallization” tendencies as Elan—a transformation influenced by high-tier Crystal Creatures.

Now things were getting interesting.

Ian began to suspect that this might be caused by Crystal Lake’s effects.

But whatever the cause, they would find out soon enough.

They were about to head there and see for themselves what was really going on.

Given Shasha’s current size and strength, along with Ian’s protection, it wouldn’t take them too long to reach the South Sea Great Labyrinth.
