Very close to Cain's house to the point where they're practically next-door neighbors was Kali's house.
If anyone were to get close to her house at this moment, a freezing chilling would crawl up their spines. At this moment, her whole house emitted chilling air, almost like stepping close to a freezing arctic.
The cause for this lies right within her open courtyard.
Instead of it being blooming beautifully filled with bright trees and flowers, nearly everything was encased in luminous blue Ice.
In its own way, the sparkling Ice twinkled with a certain luminosity radiance that perfectly mixed in with the nightly atmosphere.
At the center of this frozen-over courtyard was Kali, standing tall and focused.
Her eyes shut in intense concentration and within her hands was a sword made up entirely of Ice Energy. The Ice Sword shined an even harsher Icy glow than the surrounding frozen courtyard.
If any peak Nascent Formation cultivator were to merely touch this Ice Sword, their arms would freeze over before breaking into little pieces!
This wasn't ordinary Ice control but Draconinc Ice Energy control!
Ever since she went on her own to train, Kali poured every fiber of her being in comprehending Draconinc Ice Energy properties.
Numerous hours passed by, but Kali didn't let up her concentration for even a slight moment.
Within her Qi Seed, her Ice Spark gained a stronger, pronounced hue, causing a glossy Ice glow to engulf her entire dantian space.
Ice covering the dantain space, this was an essential step in controlling Spark Energies!
This showcased that a cultivator perceived close to 50% of their base Spark Energies properties!
A cultivator dantian's space, Mental Psyche, and Soul's space will accordingly change to the effects of their Energy Spark.
As of now, Kali's Soul Space and Mental Psyche assimilated a faint Icy Aura.
Whenever she brings out her Draconic Ice Aura now, her prowess would be directly amplified by several times even more!
This was a state that even Cain had yet to achieve! The difficulty of achieving this wasn't small at all.
Kali was spurred on by a sudden faint pressure closing in on her Martial Heart. She crazed herself to cultivate this state, allowing herself to perform some genuinely heaven-defying results.
For a few minutes now, nothing but a cold breeze swept through the courtyard.
The silence was near suffocating, almost like the air itself froze around Kali's presence.
Then, Kali's eyes snapped wide open.
Her Draconicn Ice Energy erupted! The glow from Kali's Ice Sword brightened as she violently swung it, unleashing a bright stream of Ice.
'Hu~!'
Blue Icy lights filled their entire courtyard, alighting it in an oceanic glow.
Draconic Ice Energy shot forth in an insane burst of speed, crashing upon the tree within a split moment.
Instead of destroying the tree to bits, Draconic Ice Energy engulfed its entirety. The spread of the Ice was nearly instantaneous! All in a moment, the dozens-meter-high tree was encased in Draconic Ice.
And like it was fragile glass, the Ice encased tree immediately shattered apart into thousands of tiny wisps of Ice Energy. The Ice shattering also occurred near instantaneously.
If even a Half-Step Profound Soul expert were to tank that attack, their entire body would be brutally shattered to simply tiny Ice chunks.
Even without her full strength, the power behind her base Ice Energy was frightening.
However, this achievement didn't put a smile on Kali's face. She didn't just look indifferent; her expression bordered on slight disappointment.
"Haah…." A quiet sigh leaked from her mouth, forming a cold breath.
Dispersing the Ice Sword, Kali sat right down into a cultivation state, uncaring about the freezing Ice covering the ground.
In this brief moment of rest, her mind drifted over to Cain. Her dear brother that she couldn't stop thinking about for all the wrong reasons.
She desperately tried to suppress this recurring stuffing feeling, even going so far as to try and stimulate her Martial Heart.
But no matter her methods, it proved exceedingly hard to do so.
'Every time I feel like I'm on the same level, he just keeps walking ahead. We've started from the same base, closer than any of our other siblings. And yet….our disparity is still so massive.'
Kali still couldn't forget the day Cain unleashed his Chaos Spirit Form. The absolute suppression on all parts of her being craved deep into her Martial Hearts.
She expertly hid it from Cain but could not hide it from herself.
And now it was that stunning display of overwhelming strength from the previous duel.
Sure, Kali knows she would be able to crush Adam just as easily. But when sensing Cain's prowess, Kali couldn't suppress the sensation of disparity.
Even barring his Chaos Spirit Force, Cain still has the Spirit Soul level and his far stronger Dragon Might.
Kali loves Cain with all of her heart. He gave a true sense of pride to be born in the same Draconinc Family.
But….can she really just submit to being merely in his shadow?
The second to the first for the rest of her incredibly long life span?
The love she has is great, however…. Kali's Martial Heart couldn't accept this.
Her very Soul rejected staying in the shadows!
She has her own Draconinc Pride!
As she gradually formed this mental state, a change alight within Kali. The burning drive for strength ferociously intensified!
Just like how she relentlessly trained herself today, Kali vowed to surpass Cain no matter his overwhelming advantages.
….
At this time, deep within the Crimson Sea Academy's hidden chambers, a meeting about Cain's domineering duel was taking place.
Within this hidden chamber was one of the female Elders that witnessed Cain's duel.
The Sky Ruler Elder, who would typically be coldly indifferent towards the entire world, now had a wholly reserved expression. Her eyes were filled with nothing but respect, not even daring to evenly match her gaze to the person sitting across from her.
This person is one of the few figures who can make the entire Azure Lightning City tremble to their knees.
A man who didn't look handsome nor exude an elegant presence. He actually had quite the fearsome appearance.
Long gruesome battle scars ran down his face, showcasing with pride the harrowing experience he suffered through.
His eyes were colder than Ice, and his gaze could pierce right through any Profound Soul expert's Martial Heart. This man wore an all-black robe laced with the designs of ocean waves.
With even just the clothes he wore, it exuded an ominous vibe as if death would shoot right out of it.
Perfectly blending in with this terrifying image was the man's stone-cold expression. It was like peering into the face of an assassin who mercilessly took countless lives without feeling even the tiniest speck of emotion.
This man stood at the summit of the entire Crimson Sea Academy.
He was the Crimson Vice Principle Fan Lan! An overwhelming powerful man whose mental state is rarely moved by mortal affairs.
In his long life, not many Martial Talents can even register in his mind.
However, that all changed today.
As his death-like gaze peered over the female Elder, a faint twinkle glinted within his eyes. He was actually intently listening as the Elder spoke with the utmost respect.
"As you saw Vice Principal Lan, young Cain is a legend that should've been born in the Central Divine Region. But by our luck, he had come down to our small Academy. Has a final decision been made?"
Even when speaking about him hours later, this Elder still couldn't believe what she sensed and witnessed. Never in her life has she spoken with such reverence about a junior.
But, it was evident to everyone that Cain's truly heaven-defying talent will become the paramount of their Academy!
The chamber fell into silence for only a moment.
Afterward, Vice Principal Lan spoke without a change in expression. "Before I give the order, let me ask, is it true that Cain is usually seen conversing with Amber Hiyashi?"
"Amber Hiyashi?"
The female Elder was a bit took off guard at the sudden, seemingly random question. But, she quickly recovered a split moment later, saying,
"It is indeed true. Even before their sudden disappearance, those two routinely conversed within the Lightning Ravine. And today, they reported being in the Lightning Ravine together and supposedly far closer than before."
"I see." Vice Principal Lan simply said.
Various thoughts twisted around in his mind like a maze. The light of Cain's genuine Martial Talent was akin to discovering a pot of gold containing infinite wealth.
With proper nourishment, the possibility with Cain and the connections he can make is certainly no joke at all. Their Academy's wealth, status, and overall prowess can gradually shift to a level he only thought was possible in his imagination.
Moreover, Vice Principal Lan had a faint feeling it wasn't over yet. His experience in battle was extensive. A young promising talent like Cain, who barely tried in this duel, certainly won't be content with this.
The fires of battle within Cain's eyes were evident. And Vice Principal Lan came to a temporary decision about this.
With a faint trace of interest in his tone, he said, "Tomorrow, if Cain shows back up to the Martial Arena, tell Protector Luang and Discipline Lord Alisha to come and closely obverse. Depending on his results, they will know what to do next. If this doesn't occur, still tell Discipline Lord Alisha to greet Cain."
"Lord Alisha…."
The female Elder had to suppress a shiver over that name. Someone like her is only called for extremely special situations. And Cain is undoubtedly a call for action.
With a deep bow, the Elder quickly left the hidden chamber.
As she left, Vice Principal Lan took out a spirit contact ring.. In this instance, a decisive light sparkle within his icy eyes.
