663: Chapter 610: Ian, 16 years old, is the Deceased Monarch (5800, Chapter 1)_2 663: Chapter 610: Ian, 16 years old, is the Deceased Monarch (5800, Chapter 1)_2 Ian’s strength had already been high enough to rival the peak of the Second Energy Level even before he was augnted by the Dead Lord’s Power; consequently, he swiftly attained the Third Energy Level shortly after acquiring the Dead Lord’s Power.
With his exceptional talent, he soon ford an embryonic Heart Light Body after reaching the Third Energy Level, and with its power, he crushed Viscount Awak, who also summoned a Heart Light Body at that ti.
Moreover, his combat skills were extrely formidable, enough to compare with the Great Knights of various Knight Orders.
He was a genius Sublimator who grew comprehensively with virtually no flaws—he was even a researcher in related fields, proving that Ian likely excelled in academic pursuits as well.
This was also why Adalbert had previously found it unfathomable, beyond the fact that Ian, as a disciple of Xiliad, had a research laboratory in the Imperial Capital, what truly shocked him was that with Ian’s current strength, he also possessed the technical capability to have his own independent research institute in the Imperial Capital?
Adalbert was not boasting, but in all these years, he had only seen himself receive such treatnt thanks to the Duke of Solin’s appreciation!
From that mont on, Adalbert had developed a keen interest in the true identity of the Ghost Valley Knight.
The person’s true identity must surely be that of a celebrity well-known within the Imperial Capital, perhaps an accomplished senior in the field?
But he never imagined that Ian was rely sixteen.
Sixteen!
A genius?
He was nothing compared to this one—the epito of genius!
Sixteen years old and at the peak of the Second Energy Level, even able to form a Heart Light Body after possessing the Dead Lord’s Power…
He was nearly catching up to the fastest record held by Grand Master Friedrich himself!
And the religious sect had an entire City of Knowledge paving the way for him, but what about the other?
Although his teacher was also a legendary figure, he was essentially a disciple of an outlaw wanted by The Empire…
Could he be witnessing the growth of a true legend?
With this in mind, Adalbert finally ca to terms with it.
Yes…
Without a doubt, even if Ian was not Xiliad’s disciple, or held any other status, just his deeds alone in Awak’s laboratory were enough to deem him a legend.
Because it was Ian, everything was completely justified.
Ian was unaware of Adalbert’s myriad thoughts; if he had been, he would surely have retorted that it was ‘not just an independent laboratory, but an entire laboratory building’.
That was far more important than the other muddle of things.
Soon, the two had arrived within Azure City, and Ian also saw the emblem of the Huai Guang Rescue Team.
Nowadays, the Azure City had been shattered by the residual impacts of the combat shirts worn by two Fourth Energy Level powerhouses, where even the occasional bolts of lightning and beams of light that fell could easily char buildings to blackness and lt the streets into intensely hot lava.
The dark canopy of the sky was illuminated slightly, and although dense clouds on the horizon were approaching, they could no longer prevent the dawn from shining upon the land.
The sun’s golden-red rays lit up the streets and made a flag bearing concentric circles at the highest point gleam brightly.
“This is it.”
Ian, with Adalbert still in a state of shock, ca to a comparatively untouched building beneath the flag, where he saw several mbers of the Huai Guang Rescue Team guarding the entrance.
The team mbers were initially startled by Ian’s age and appearance but soon regained their composure, asking about Ian and Adalbert’s identities and if they needed help.
Ian, having already t them as the Ghost Valley Knight and knowing their personalities, greeted them very warmly and humbly, even secretly praising the courage of the Huai Guang Rescue Team.
The words truly ward the hearts of the guarding Demihuman Knight and Human Archer—they who joined the rescue team mostly did not seek profit or fa, but what they appreciated most was others’ thanks and respect.
Upon learning that Ian knew Captain Glorious Sword and ca to visit an old friend, the Knight and Archer exchanged glances, then nodded and took out a crystal screen from their bosoms: “Then let contact Captain Glorious Sword for you…”
The other muttered quietly, “Why does it feel like everyone knows Captain Glorious Sword?
His social circle is too broad, isn’t it?”
Adalbert dared not speak much, only standing behind Ian with eyes downcast, appearing quite timid.
And he was indeed timid.
“This is…”
When Captain Glorious Sword stepped out of the temporary headquarters of the rescue team and saw Ian, he understood imdiately.
But when he turned to look at Adalbert, who dared not speak, his expression was sowhat puzzled: “Is he a survivor?
He seems to have been traumatized…”
“No, he’s a person who got separated from his group during the fight between the Prince and the Tianhong King, just like .”
Ian answered solemnly on the surface but engaged in a secret ntal communication with Captain Glorious Sword: [It’s not convenient to reveal his identity.
If possible, send him out as a mber of your rescue team…
If it’s too much trouble, let know, and I’ll think of sothing else.]
[Our rescue squad has strict numbers, and we need to account for everyone coming in and out as agreed with The Empire, so it’s a bit difficult to take him out.]
Blue light shone in Captain Glorious Sword’s eyes, while the two guards from the rescue team next to him were unphased—while Clerics could not lie, their right to remain silent was crucial, and keeping others from hearing so confidential information was a form of protection they had long beco accustod to.
