CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 59: THE EXTRAORDINARY PATH

"Oh, how so?"

Quik, the fox-faced man, was considered the wise man of the Dragon Nest Tribe, knowledgeable about many things. Perhaps he could truly discover the reason.

"Your Highness, I’ve heard that in the human civilized world, ordinary humans need to activate the Fighting Qi Seed or Magic Seed with the help of some magic potions when advancing to become Extraordinary individuals, be they warriors or mages, in addition to learning the Breathing Technique. Our experiment failed, very likely because we missed the step of involving magic energy."

Quik cautiously spoke out his conjecture.

"Magic Energy?"

Austin was initially taken aback but then came to a sudden realization.

Indeed, it’s magic energy!

Even in this magical world, it’s impossible to create something from nothing. Without the involvement of such Extraordinary Abilities as magic energy, how could one step onto the path of the Extraordinary!

Adult Legendary Giant Dragons have reached unfathomable levels, capable of triggering magic power tides with every move. When endowing the clan’s orcs, they naturally attract and infuse magic energy, transforming the essence of orc life with ease.

But now, Austin is merely at the quasi-Silver stage. Even with the innate privileges of a dragon, how could he possibly invoke the ambient magic power in the air to perform a comprehensive transformation of the orc’s life?

The electric currents produced by Blue Young Dragons indeed have the ability to stimulate the potential within the orcs, but precisely because of the lack of magic energy, this stimulated potential reverts to its original state once it passes, failing to be maintained.

"That’s it, that must be it!"

Austin became excited. It seemed that after the Spider Cave incident, he was indeed too hasty, resulting in neglecting such an important matter.

However, it’s not too late now. Understanding this point, then Extraordinary Orc Warriors will emerge within the Dragon Nest Tribe!

"If transformation requires magic energy, then it’s necessary to have substances containing magic power. Magic Beast Crystal Cores? No, they’re too rare... the Blood Red Fruit in the Blood Wolf Lair? But they’ve just blossomed on that side of the Blood Wolf Lair..."

Magic Beast Crystal Cores are also extremely important to Austin, not to mention he’s only encountered them twice, making it impossible to expend them on orcs.

As for the magic tree previously encountered beside the Blood Wolf Lair, the Blood Red Fruit it produced might be useful, but that magic tree has just blossomed, and it would take at least half a year for the fruit to mature.

After pondering for a long time, Austin finally found a suitable item.

After the Spider Cave expedition, the orcs not only brought back a nameless plant used for detoxification but also carried away the corpses of four large spiders and those stones emitting a faint, faintly glowing light beneath the nameless plants.

The previous harvest, the plants, were used to detoxify Rodney and others, with only a few left hanging to dry and preserve by the village.

As for the corpses of the four large spiders, they didn’t contain Magic Beast Crystal Cores, but their shells were incredibly sturdy and were made into weapons.

And those stones that emitted a faint blue glow, although they felt weak magic fluctuations from within, Austin thought of how the Spider Cave had existed for an unknown number of years, with various prey rotting there, leaving layers of spider excrement covering the stones. Despite the orcs scrubbing them clean, he couldn’t get past the mental barrier of consuming stones buried under who-knows-what for who-knows-how-long.

Moreover, the faint magic within them was of little use to Austin, who had matured to this stage.

Therefore, these stones containing magic power were ultimately preserved, pressed at the bottom of a box, waiting for a day they might be useful.

And now, it seems Austin has found the time to use them!

"We’ll use those magic stones brought back from the Spider Cave!"

Austin hurriedly flew outside, just as Quik breathed a sigh of relief, rejoicing that he was no longer being shocked, Austin rushed in, clutching a stone emitting a faint azure glow.

"Quik, lie down, I want to try again!"

Seeing Austin’s excited expression, Quik grimaced and dutifully lay down on the experimental table, becoming a guinea pig once more.

Although Austin exercised control to avoid endangering their lives with the electric current, just thinking about the terrifying sensation of electricity coursing chaotically through their bodies left few eager for the experience.

Disregarding Quik’s grimace, Austin grasped the magic stone with his forepaw and pressed it onto Quik’s chest.

Electric Shock Paralysis!

Magic power inside him circulates along a certain trajectory, subtly affecting the surrounding air, triggering an unknown change in the ethereal space, ultimately transforming into electric current.

Brzzzt!

Arcs of sparks danced and leapt out in the air, erratic electric snakes darted, brushing against Quik’s body and spreading outward with the magic stone as the center.

That mysterious sensation emerged once more, and like countless experiments before, a resonance seemed to occur between his blood and something else.

Simultaneously, under the stimulation of electric currents, the magic stone experienced an unknown change, wisps of blue light drifting from within the magic stone like a drop of blue ink dispersing in water, spreading over most of Quik’s chest and following the electric currents into Quik’s body.

At that moment, Quik, originally shaking uncontrollably and rolling his eyes, feeling despair,

suddenly widened his eyes!
