Chapter 79
79 Dragon Blood Grass
Cain and Oliver left the Titan Tower and returned to the cadet’s residences. Both of them remained silent the entire trip, which was fine for Cain as many things were going through his mind.
It was after they were back at Cain’s residence that Oliver spoke again.
“Lord Zarak is an extremely important character in the Empire, and becoming his student is a great lucky chance. That is all I can say about that. Good luck, young man.” Oliver rose to the sky and vanished after that.
A meaningful light appeared in Cain’s eyes as he analyzed Oliver’s words and entered his residence. Less than an hour had passed since he left, so nothing had changed.
“Apex, have you found any record of Zarak?” Cain was not someone that blindly trusted people. While having a powerful master would be good for him, following someone without knowing anything about them could lead to disaster.
“Unfortunately, no. Whoever that man is, there is not a single public record of him, so he is very reclusive and powerful.”
Cain expected such an answer and nodded. There was still some time to sleep, so he began analyzing the crystal card Zarak gave him.
There was a systematic approach to the Ego Eternal Path of Power in that crystal card. The first line he read made it perfectly clear how essential willpower was for those who trained on that path.
“Willpower is your limiter. No matter how high your talent or how fast your Ego Wave increases, without strong willpower, you will never thrive in the Ego Eternal Path of Power.”
.....
It was not hard for Cain to understand the meaning of those words. He could access the First Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power at such low cultivation because his Ego Eternal Matrix was activated, granting him willpower equal to a Late Wave Champion from birth.
