He consulted Sun Fan, "President Sun, I feel like part of the energy from the white scales I'm absorbing is leaking away. Do you know what's going on? Are there specific requirements for breaking through to the perfected state?"
Sun Fan said, "Yes, there are requirements. To break through to a perfected state, you need to connect with your hatchling beast, which means allowing the hatchling beast's will to form a bond with you, enabling transformation."
"However, for you all, the will of the hatchling beast has been erased, and the beast is entirely integrated with you. You can break through as long as you have the desire to change."
