Chapter 138: thod to Recover the Core? (2)
Lin Jie walked to the direction he pointed at and stopped before a rack. "There are a lot of them over here, but I think you should have known the thod, right?"
"Is it normal?"
"Yeah, you can just start over and absorb Eon Energy from your surroundings," Lin Jie spread his hand while Ye Jiao browsed the book and took out one of them that has an interesting ti title.
Unusual thod to Recover One's Core
"It'll take a long ti."
Lin Jie shook his head. "You'll use less ti when you build your core again. It's like, your talent increased after you lost your core."
Ye Jiao nearly dropped the book on her hand as she looked at Lin Jie incredulously. "Are you telling
that the thod to raise one's talent is by losing their core?"
"I'm not telling you to destroy your own core obviously," Lin Jie rolled his eyes. "After all, the ti limit to reach one's rank still exists and if you don't reach it before the certain age, it'll be impossible for you to break through to the next rank."
"What's the age?"
"I don't know."
"What?"
"There's not enough information in this kingdom for sothing like that. Besides, it's not like they're going to tell children about the limitation," Lin Jie replied while shrugging. "Anyway, even if your talent increases, it'll still take a long ti for you to form your core. After you have ford your core back, you can regain your previous rank by assimilating your strength for a set period of ti."
"Do you an I don't have to start over from the very beginning?"
Lin Jie stared at Ye Jiao in confusion. "You're not losing your core, right?"
"Of course not! I'm just asking on soone else behalf," Ye Jiao lied through her teeth. In truth, she just wanted to know because she was worried that she might one day have her core destroyed. After all, she has too many enemies to count and each of them were more powerful than her.
"Nope, you don't have to start from the beginning because you can just strengthen your core to reach your previous rank. After all, when you build it again, it'll be based on your previous rank. This should be applicable for below rank 3 from what I know, so I'm not totally sure what'll happen if you break your core above it."
"Do you know how it is possible?"
"Nope, I just know that when you build your core again, the amount will be what your previous rank has because the space in your abdon is the size of your rank. I don't know the detail as I have never experienced it."
Ye Jiao nodded. "There's a qualitative difference between rank 3 and above. But why have I never heard about this?"
"It's not really the type of information that got spread out in this region," Lin Jie replied. "Besides, when you start over, you'll be placed at your weakest state. How many people do you think can still live without being an Eon Energy Master in this place unless they were living in remote location?"
It made sense. Ye Jiao had seen the brutal treatnt for those who were not Eon Energy Masters. Even in the capital city, those who had beco Eon Energy Master rank 1 still got bad treatnt at tis. It was all due to the fact that there were a lot of rank 1 in the capital city, making them worth less.
"I see."
Opening the book in front of her, Ye Jiao browsed through the index. Her eyes widened when she caught a sentence.
"Lin Jie."
"Yes?"
"It's possible to take other people's core?"
"Ah, yes," Lin Jie took another book and walked to the nearby table and chairs. "It's uncommon in Chen Kingdom because of the rules, but you can find it almost everywhere in the Barbarian Kingdom. You can take a newly made core from other people. However, once you take it, you won't be able to surpass your previous rank no matter how much you tried it."
"Barbarian Kingdom?"
"Yeah, East of Chen Kingdom is Barbarian Kingdom. That place is filled with hardship and not many of them managed to reach high rank. However, they all rely on their great physical power and when they lose their core in battle, they would just take a slave child's newly ford core. Mind you, if that kid reached rank 1, you can't take his or her core."
In short, the ti period when soone has just ford their core to the point they reached rank 1 would be the most dangerous period. During that ti, there was a possibility of other people taking their core for themselves.
"It's pretty scary."
"All you have to do is protect yourself. Besides, there are reasons why we are gathered on a secluded island," Lin Jie sat down and leaned on the chair. "It is known that the Bao Fu Organization always recruits talented students. If they tried to take us for our core, they'll get a superior core."
Ye Jiao's eyes widened. "Wait, you an that different talents have different cores?"
"Yes, the higher the talent, the bigger and better the core you can make compared to those at the sa rank. Haven't you studied this in school?"
"Not really."
Lin Jie looked at Ye Jiao weirdly. "I wonder what kind of rock did you grow up under."
"I didn't live under a rock."
"..." don't take my words literally.
Noticing that Lin Jie had started to read his book, Ye Jiao also read the book she had in her hand. It was discussing the advantages and disadvantages of having one's core destroyed, taken away and also the peculiarity of each people's core. As Ye Jiao read, she noticed that there was a passage at the end of the book.
'For People from Dark Faction, they have the technique to absorb other people's core for themselves. This technique imposes harsh characteristics on the Eon Energy Master, but this is the fastest way to beco a genius. However, the success rate is below 10% because of the possibility of incompatibility.
The technique is rare and only certain people knew the way. In addition, that particular Eon Energy Master also need to have Innate Specialization Talent in Illusive. This technique was developed by those at the lower rank to be able to beco stronger....'
Reading the book, Ye Jiao finally understood that there were truly a lot of ways to recover one's core. Many of them were dangerous and hard to do, but these two were the cruelest that she had seen. After all, it involved taking other people's and cut off that person's path of martial arts.
'I guess that's enough. I still need to find another book.'
Putting the book back on the shelf, Ye Jiao headed to the weapon area to find out the training thod and skill for a dagger user.
