Lin Yuan had mixed feelings about "Research Institute 3154."
On the one hand, they had known each other since Paradise and had often helped each other and worked together.
On the other hand, Research Institute 3154's true identity was very likely the Third Lord, yet he had never revealed the slightest hint of it to Lin Yuan, which could not help but leave Lin Yuan feeling a sense of distance.
Elder Ma, Third's mentor, seems to know what's going on, but he told me to reach the top 100 on the Authority Ranking before going to see him...
Lin Yuan recalled the message Elder Ma had sent when he had obtained the Historical Hourglass.
To be honest, he was somewhat unsure whether he should go see Elder Ma now.
The news that he had successfully held his ground and forced the Lord of Storms to retreat a few days ago had already spread throughout the Federation. Everyone now knew that Lin Yuan was no newcomer who had just entered the Authority Ranking, but a supernova who deserved a fairly high position on it.
However, no one else knew what had happened in the History Secret Realm, and his brief clash with the Lord of Storms alone was not enough to determine Lin Yuan's strength.
As such, the Press Club had yet to update Lin Yuan's position on the Authority Ranking, temporarily leaving him an "unranked expert."
In terms of raw strength, I'd only rank somewhere in the two hundreds on the Authority Ranking.
But if my Black Hole Theory holds true, I'm confident I can fight the fiftieth-ranked Lord of Storms while in the River of Blazing Flames state.
And if we go purely by the Authority Ranking, I don't have a rank yet.
