Over those ten days, Lin Yuan had constantly studied the subtle differences between his energy and Minglong's energy within the Memory Gem, strengthening the essence within his own energy.
He had finally reached the limit of what he could strengthen for now.
Now, Lin Yuan could clearly sense the essence within his energy at any time without relying on the energy inside the Crying Dragon.
Next, with enough energy to nourish it, this essence would naturally transform into an Authority unique to Lin Yuan.
But as Lin Yuan's insights deepened, his understanding of his own energy also grew.
He could now sense that a mere 1,500 points of energy were utterly insignificant to this essence.
Even increasing his total energy a hundredfold or a thousandfold would be nowhere near enough to nourish it.
He could not even estimate how much energy he would need to truly bring his Authority into being.
The good news was that this meant his unique Authority was extraordinarily powerful.
The bad news was that he would have to remain at his current stage for a very, very long time.
"Still, at least my strength has improved enormously for now."
Lin Yuan consoled himself.
