Cain gave a curt nod, saying,

"Hello. It is indeed a pleasure to meet someone from the Jade Sword Palace. I've been intrigued by your Skills with the sword, finding it a fascinating power to perceive upon.

"

His words flowed out like smooth butter, his tone having traces of a dashing prince.

Unknowingly, after so many dealings with high-level figures, Cain adapted to a more elegant type of speech.

Unless it was an enemy or his close ones, Cain found this the best speech style for strangers. It would be far easier to generate a favorable impression and make conversations flow swimmingly.

He could already see the results by Lin Zhi's increasingly wide smile.

To show humbleness despite a massive position would always be a suitable method as well.

"Haha. I thank Spirit Master Cain for holding us in such high regard. And since you are fascinated with us, it would make it a lot easier for me. Perhaps would Sir Cain be interested in coming to our Palace and exchanging points. I similarly heard that Sir Cain uses a sword in battle.

"

As Lin Zhi asked, he felt his heart rate increase. To exchange pointers with a heaven-defying talent would bring significant benefits that they wouldn't be able to fully realize at first.

These Jade Sword Palace disciples are all studious with the Martial perception of the sword. They fervently cultivate, harmonizing themselves with Sword Energy at every second of the day. And one of the best ways for a better harmonization is to face great rivals.

Only in battle will one's perception, instincts, and awareness sharpen to a degree that can't be achieved in a cultivation state.

Battling puts everyone's state of mind in some trance of focus. For some, this focus will vary depending on their base personality.

But no matter who it is, battles can be a genuine enlightening process to broaden Martial Perception. Especially if the ones that fight have a far higher Martial Perception than their foe.

The way a genius fight can be peered into, observed, and studied upon, having a chance to possibly bring upon new enlightenment for them.

These Jade Sword Palace disciples cared little about forming connections for personal gains.

While they revere the strength of the World Spirit Master Branch, it didn't mean they would back down when push comes to shove.

They'll stay firm and sharp, just like a sword.

Even from just observing the fiery light brightly shimmering within Lin Zhi's eyes, Cain could tell these guys all have firm Martial Hearts.

Going to exchange pointers with them won't be a waste at all. Moreover, peering into the ways of actual Sword Masters would do wonders for him.

No matter how good his natural talent is, picking up concepts from a Master would tremendously increase his perception rate.

After all, there's only so much one can achieve on their own when concerning Martial Perception. Without the guidance of those that came before, anyone would inevitably hit an impenetrable roadblock.

But before answering, Cain shifted his gaze to Kali and Amber, asking them,

"Would you two want to come with me for this?

"

"Hmmm….no thanks. I will probably be busy with my own tasks that day.

" Amber promptly answered.

Now that she has Spirit Energy, how could she let any cultivators related thing distract her? That would be too much of a waste!

With this type of excuse, Amber faintly realized a whole new avenue had opened for her. She almost faintly smiles over it.

"As for me…probably not. Weapon's energy is a bit interesting, but I'm suited to just using my Ice.

" After pondering over it for a moment, Kali confidently stated.

Not many so far can actually stand toe to toe with her Draconic Ice. Any weapon's energy that gets thrown her way, she was sure to completely freeze it over.

Her way of thinking wasn't too arrogant since she did have action to back up her words.

But still, Cain curled his brows, telling Kali,

"Don't count Spirit weapons out yet. I'm sure if you can find a suitable one, you'll be able to grow even more monstrous than you are now.

"

"Maybe….but….

" Kali's naturally icy gaze peered right into Cain's deep abyss eyes.

"If you're going to master the sword, then obviously, I'll need to find something else to master. My Martial Perception is just as good as yours, you know.

"

The gaze of challenge and incredible intimidation hit Cain all at once. Any other genius in his position would feel a faint tremble within their very soul. As if they were getting preyed on by a demonic beast.

But Cain simply wryly smile. He admittedly found this kind of rivalry cute from her. At the very least, her rebellion will make things even more interesting.

It was almost queer to think that just weeks ago, this girl was a bit more cheerful and willing to follow in his every footstep.

Now, she looks completely ready to pave out an incredible legend all on her own.

In any case, an intense rivalry is good for them. Their combat prowess, Martial Perception, and everything in between can become even stronger from it.

Cain just has to remember to reel in Kali before it becomes actually destructive and toxic.

He's almost entirely assured that's what his relationship with his other Dragon siblings is like. The struggle of the Royal Palace is just too much of a vicious environment without proper strength backing.

Suppressing these thoughts, Cain turned back over to Lin Zhi, who waited patiently and told him,

"Seems like it will be only me visiting your Palace. I look forward to exchanging pointers.

"

"Excellent!

" Lin Zhi's face brightened, his lips booming into an honest smile. He then swiftly took out his contact ring, handed it over to Cain while saying,

"Whenever you want to set up the meeting, just contact me. I will do my quickest to prepare for you.

"

With one last curt nod, Lin Zhi walked back off to his group.

As he walked back, all of his other fellow disciples instantly gathered their attention to him. Each of them could already tell it was a success given the honest smiling shining Lin Zhi's face.

"Well? How did it go? What are they truly like?

" The leader of their small group, a beautiful Senior Sister, quickly asked.

As Lin Zhi approached, his smile never once broke as he said,

"Completely truthful to the rumors. Sir Cain has a noble grace radiating off from him. Miss Kali is a bit reclusive and mainly interested in Sir Cain. And Princess Amber has an easy demeanor. Because of this, only Sir Cain accepted my invitation.

"

"Ah! Really? Is the rumor that he also uses a sword true well? That would be a perfect combination.

" Another disciple hurriedly asked.

Lin Zhi nodded.

"Indeed he does. Just from sensing his sharp and restrained Aura, it seems he has great talent with the sword. I am unsure whether or not he has a Master to guide him. But his natural talent must make him a quick learner.

"

"Ah. Heaven-defying talent indeed. It's no wonder Sir Cain could simultaneously control Lightning and Sword Energy. His prowess must be even more frightening than the rumors! Seeing him in action will be enlightening.

"

The other Jade Sword Palace disciples broke in a fervent discussion. They were a bit younger than Lin Zhi, so their emotions were easier to surge.

But it didn't mean Lin Zhi wasn't feeling anticipation. No doubt, this will be a grand event in recent history.

Suddenly, a thought streaked through Lin Zhi's mind, and he asked,

"Senior Sister Yi, do you perhaps think Sister Julia would be interested in showing up.

"

Senior Sister Yi paused, her eyes flashing with several thoughts. A moment later, she slowly nodded, saying,

"Actually, she might be willing. From what I have seen, she has a keen interest in Sir Cain. It would do good for her to have a true challenge at her age range.

"

As the Jade Sword Palace disciples talked among themselves, Cain and Kali were quietly listening in.

Only they, with their deep Martial Perception, could enhance their Spirit Senses enough to snoop on other conversations.

And when hearing these disciples, Cain faintly smiled, his expectations rising.

While Kali curled her brows, her mood shifting around.

"They truly have so much respect for us, huh? Certainly, this side is good and all. But….don't you feel it too, Cain? The lack of tension from continually getting pressure.

"

If she had to choose between being absolutely revere and continually challenged by disbelieving Martial Talents, Kali honestly wouldn't know what would be the best option.

Most days, she was hoping that her cultivation could rise quickly enough so they could venture far out into the continent and encounter actual danger.

Otherwise, she'll feel that her mental state will stagnate more than anything.

"Isn't it already decided that you will be facing a greater challenge in the future? Why not just take it easy for now?

" Amber decided to throw in her two cents though she knows it will fall on death ears.

And as expected, Kali didn't acknowledge her answer, only waiting for Cain's response.

When realistically thinking about it, Cain could definitely see both of their points.

Fighting and relaxation go hand in hand. Too much fighting, your mind can break down from all the tension. Too much relaxation and your Martial Heart will grow weak, limiting your cultivation.

Looking over their situation now, Cain did see that that they could accelerate the process a bit.

He slowly said,

"For now, let's focus on perfecting our new Qi Seed foundation. Then, when we can't compress anymore, we'll shoot right through the realm.

"

"Well....that's fine enough.

" As Kali relented with a simple nod, the ground began to tremble.

Dozens of meters in front of everyone, ripples of rainbow color right started to rapidly flash in front of the Crypt Grave.

Moments later, a faint shattering sound echoed out as the invisible, impenetrable barrier separating the Crypt Grave's entrance completely shattered!

"Finally! It's the time!

"

All young geniuses were incomparably excited, each of them standing to full attention.

And at that moment, an incredible wave of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy gushed, utterly engulfing the entire environment for miles.
