Chapter 170 - Bloodline Books
At this time, over at the World Spirit Master Branch, they all naturally caught a whiff of this news as well. And contrary to the intense reactions swirling the City, these World Spirit Masters were actually the calmest.
"After dozens of years, something like happened again, huh? And this time, it appears that young Cain has a far stronger bond than what Spirit Elder Lei had. Otherwise, he wouldn't waste his time with such a silly duel.
"
"And with Spirit Master Bellax as his protector….no wonder the Hiyashi's all fervent. Still, they should know not to overstep their boundaries in the future. Don't want a repeat like the Yuan Family.
"
"Should we inform young Cain about it? At his age, he truly hasn't seen the true varying shades of this world.
"
As one World Spirit Master asked out, the others in his group fell into thought.
Indeed, marriage matters weighed very little on their minds. But when a group bites off more than what they could chew from intertwining with them, that's when World Spirit Masters call to attention.
They are down to help their owns but disdain with supporting leaches Families that would offer them nothing significant in exchange. Their pride simply won't allow for something like that.
"I believe it would best to give young Cain a fair warning. It would be disappointing to see altercations arise over this and affect his mental state with Spirit Energy.
"
One of the Senior World Spirit Master said.
And with his superior wisdom from a plethora of experiences, the younger ones were all inclined to agree.
But at this time, another Senior World Spirit Master spoke, his tone laced with caution.
"But when giving the warning, remember not to force it. Spirit Master Bellax is intently protective of them. I won't be surprised if she throws any one of us out if we provoke young Cain and Kali too far. Matters of the heart….they're too confusing and complicated to stick our noises deep into.
"
"Mm….right.
" The younger World Spirit Masters quickly agreed.
In any case, none of them had the slightest thought of offending Cain and Kali anyways. Not just because of inviting a disaster on to themselves, but they would lose out on massive opportunities.
….
Within the Crimson Sea Academy, the turbulent storm that Cain caused had already reached them.
But compared to the rowdiness the rest of the City caused, the Academy was numb to this news.
Long before this day, many students and Elders had thoughts about Cain's relationship with Amber. Besides Kali, she was literally the only one he's ever seen with.
And neither were afraid about showing affection in public. So when this news came around, they all believed it was to be expected.
Naturally as well, countless surges of envy were birthed within Martial Hearts.
Typically, envy would be thrown to the man's side since the temptation of irresistible beauty was hard to resist for many young hot-blooded males.
But this time, a lot of envy smolder on Amber's position.
Out of all people, they had the greatest chance to formulate a relationship with Cain before he reached this unapproachable status. It was incredibly regretful to ponder upon, but none had any daring courage to change this.
Out of all students, one particular young maiden had the greatest complex feelings about everything.
She was the one who did actually meet the sibling duo and engaged in several talks upon their first steps here.
Of course, this was Lei Li. Ever since Cain and Kali's full showcased of heaven-defying talent, her mind couldn't forget the sibling duo.
Deep within her Martial Heart, a particular deep shadow was cast. This was a longing sensation, a feeling of yearning that could never be fulfilled. It affected her whole heart towards Martial Cultivation, making it harder to put any genuine thoughts towards cultivation.
Didn't she have the highest chance to be friends with them? Couldn't she also formulate strong ties and develop their relationship further?
Questions like this continually warped Lei Li's mind.
Furthermore, the feeling of attraction on an appearance and personality towards Cain wasn't small at all. A dashing heroic young elite like Cain would be able to win the hearts of many blossoming young maidens.
But comparatively, it would be nigh-impossible for any of these young maidens to make even a slight wave within Cain's heart.
At a level and status like Cain's, beauty wouldn't hold such a high priority.
And Lei Li was one of these young maidens that were affected far harder than those in her group.
Moreover, this certainly won't be the last of these kinds of situations occurring.
….
At the Discipline Lord ranking field, Cain and Amber had finally returned home. The young couple were aware of the stormy news but didn't pay much attention to it.
As long as they achieved the desired after effects, nothing else would matter that much.
As of now, Cain and Amber were casually making their way over to the lounge room, wondering how Kali was doing during their absence.
"Heh. I bet she won't even be here but down in either the training room or the backyard. Last we left, she seemed like she was closing upon some sort of revelation.
" Amber lightly snorted.
Before pondering about Kali, Cain shot a curious glance over to Amber, his eyebrows curling together.
"Since when you can tell about cultivation habits? You're usually sleeping when she's around.
"
Amber casually shrugged, saying,
"Those chilling eyes become even colder when she's feeling like she's touching upon something. Admittedly, it causes me to get ominous shivers. Out of all of the things, she is continually surprising over being more colder than the last day.
"
"Right….
" Cain simply shook his head.
Because it's Amber, he didn't take her tease to heart. In a way, he knows this is her way of showing affection to her, no matter if it does annoy Kali.
Suddenly then, Kali's voice loudly spoke out as her footsteps reverberated on the walls.
"I'm full of a lot more surprises than you can ever dream of. Leave for one day, and you two seem closer than before.
"
Snapping their attention forward, Kali was actually leaning against the door frame leading up to the lounge room.
Sweeping his eyes over her, Cain indeed saw what Amber teased about.
Her eyes that carried a typical indifference seemed to shimmer with a chilling icy glow. A look with her could make any Profound Soul genius shiver to their cores.
Hell, Cain could sense that Amber took a half-step back on sheer instincts.
In this brief instance, Cain swept his Spirit Sense and was a bit surprised. During just one day, Kali's Draconic Ice Energy feels noticeably more potent.
The sensation felt as if she was rapidly nearing the second stage of Ice Draconinc Ice Arts!
'I can only just tell from a vague sensation of comparing it to my own Energy. But still, her perseverance is actually sick.'
Indeed, her Martial Talent may be lower, but Cain honestly felt a bit lacking when compared to her fierce determination. This girl had a true heart towards everything concerning Martial cultivation.
Pushing down these thoughts, Cain smiled, telling Kali,
"I guess you can say that. We both had a pretty good time with Amber's parents. They were a joy to talk to.
"
"More than just a good time. You decided to flex again? Were you secretly itching for actions during all that time?
"
Even though Kali stayed all day cultivating, she actually split her time off to keep on any news about Cain.
Naturally, she doubts there would be any fools willing to ever provoke her brother. But there was something about being in the dark that didn't sit well with her at all.
"Actually, he wasn't itching for action but was helping raise my Family status. It was more of a showcased fight than anything. And he utterly crushed his opponent as per usual.
" The pride lacing Amber's tone was almost overflowing.
Listening to this, Kali nearly rolled her eyes. She didn't believe doing any of that would matter much in the end. This is just a Lower Realm planet, after all. Something that will become nothing but a distant memory in the future.
But she kept these thoughts to herself.
Shifting topics, she asked,
"Speaking of these Vampire geniuses, just how exactly do they stack up? Of course, you won't ever seriously fight with her, so I hope those guys weren't too droll.
"
As Cain went to answer, his eyes brightened a bit, realizing this could arouse a bit of Kali's interest.
"Because of our bloodline, I wasn't affected much at all. But, the Vampires' bloodline Aura is curiously potent. Normal humans, for sure, would feel considerable pressure just walking through the estate. And this bloodline Aura helps them cultivate their bloodline.
"
"Oh? Something like this exists down here?
" Expectedly, Kali's eyes shined with interest.
"That sounds a bit similar to how it works back at home. Maybe I'll check it out one of these days….
"
Compared to Cain's lack of knowledge, Kali could have far deeper thoughts about this.
Bloodlines are an intricate subject with numerous complex topics that she casually read about previously.
Kali's main interest was always on her own Dragon God Bloodline. But there were times where she glanced at other bloodlines out of either sheer boredom or slight curiosity.
There were many special, various abilities that bloodlines derive from. However, despite reading loads of information, Kali had a slight problem.
All information she absorbed was the time before her transformation!
With just her Mortal mind, it was incredibly difficult to memorize even the slightest bit of information.
Not just because the topics were profound, but also the words carved on those pages contained an essence that was impossible for her to understand.
Now, after refining her Mental Psyche with various forms of Qi, her memory is incredible.
If she were to reread those books, she doubts she would be able to perceive the essence that made up each word but could at least remember what the contents refer to.
Thinking of this, Kali felt interested in going ahead over in the Hiyashi's estate and exploring their bloodline books.
Perhaps with perceiving those books, she can build a stable foundation for the Dragon God bloodline books.
In the end, this was all for the future.
Before either Cain or Amber could speak, Kali continued to say,
"But enough about your little trip. Amber wasn't wrong, by the way. I was actually spending time cultivating until a little bit ago. You see, I got a call from Alisha saying the Vice Principal is requesting to meet up with us.. Of course, it's not necessary for us to go. But do you have any interest, anyways?
"
