Chapter 34 - Easily Passing Tests

nBefore settling on a specific vicious beast cage, Captain Liam quickly fished out a unique purple color ring.
nThis ring wasn't anything like a regular spatial ring.
nThanks to a World Spirit Force Master, they managed to construct a ring that can perfectly record anything.
nIf Cain were to know about this, he would directly compare it to a recording device in his previous world. He would also note the fact that the Spirit Energy these World Spirit Force Masters uses provides a lot of benefits eerily similar to electronic technology.
nOnce Captain Liam took out the recording ring, his Qi Sense stopped on peak tier 1 vicious beast.
nShuffling over to that beast vicious beast cage, Captain Liam stood in front of a large red-fur lion. The beast easily toppled over twenty feet in width and height, appearing extremely menacing.
nWhen arriving in front of the cage, the red-fur lion bared its razor-sharp fangs towards Captain Liam, leaking out its beastly killing intent.
nUndisturbed by its reaction Captain Liam indifferently pulled out another purple coated ring.
nHe then poured a sliver of his energy into the ring, causing a hypnotic purple glow to shine out of it.
nImmediately, the red-fur lion locked its gaze on the glowing ring. Then, in mere seconds of staring, the red-fur lion suddenly went rigid.
nA faint purple hue simmered within the center of its pupil, gradually falling into a hypnotic trance. Under this hypnotic trance, the lion beast stood rigid at attention, now acting as some sort of mindless doll.
nNow that he has the beast under his control, Captain Liam kept the hypnotic ring dangling in its face while he unlocked its cage.
nDespite the cage being open free, the red-fur lion submissively stayed still.
nLooking back over to Kali, Captain Liam briefly curled his eyebrows.
nNo doubt about it, she and the other boy certainly have some excellent skills since they took Shao's group down.
nThat kind of prowess would more than welcome in their Kong Clan. In fact, they genuinely needed great help like this for this ongoing war.
nAt that moment, Captain Liam made up his mind.
nEven if they can't take on a peak Tier 1 beast, he'll still intervene when it seems like Kali and Cain are about to die.
nThough the rules to the test are about to skewer a bit, Captain Liam was sure his superiors wouldn't mind at all. Help like Cain and Kali come at a dime of dozen. He knows they can't afford to be picky with their current situation.
nSetting his plan into motion, Captain Liam thrust the hypnotic ring towards Kali.
n
"Kill her.
" Captain Liam uttered a simple order.
nAnd just these words caused an intense reaction within the red-fur lion.
n
"Rwaa!!
"
nA bestial roar screeched from the red-fur lion, its feral killing intent exploding out like a hurricane!
nThe red-fur lion surged a vigorous abundance of Spirit Qi energy out of his body, causing its aura to sharply rise.
nIn that instance, the lion beast locked its power and killing intent squarely on the still moving Kali.
nAs the wind howled around it, the red-fur lion then broke off into a mad dash! The beast moved with speed swift as the wind, becoming an untraceable blur to Eras's eyes.
nFor both Eras and Captain Liam, they immediately became concerned for Kali.
nCan someone who only took down a couple of eighth-level Spirit Opening cultivators really react to this speed?
nThe only one who was both calm and indifferent was Cain.
nBut before anyone could even form their next thought, Kali sprang into action!
nA loud bang was heard as she took off from the ground like a missile, forming a small crater underneath her original spot.
nWith her face entirely indifferent, almost bored-looking, Kali easily out sped the red-fur lion, reaching just a few feet from it in mere seconds.
nHer fist then swung out lightning speed, crashing it right into the lion beast's massive skull.
n'Puff~!'
nThe red-fur lion couldn't possibly react to Kali's immense speed, nor could its defenses match her overwhelming strength.
nWithout any resistance, the red-fur lion's head exploded into a horrific mess of blood, flesh, and bones. Its massive corpse crashed an inch from Kali's feet.
n
"Hmmm….at this point, I should really lower my expectations….
" Kali quietly muttered to herself.
nInitially, she thought this would be a better workout than Shao's group. But when the beast's aura crashed onto her, it barely registers as a tickle for her.
nAt this moment, Kali was truly starting to see why there is such a massive gap between mortal and God Galaxy cultivators.
nShe is living proof of how simply overpower they are.
n
"Wh-what the hell??
"
nOn the other side of things, both Eras and Elder was fraught with terrifying awe. Their brain buzzed as several shocking occurrences happen just within a second.
nFirst, they were put off by Kali's speed. Similar to the lion beast, she was an untraceable blur in Eras' eyes.
nAnd she was also nearly a blur in Captain Liam's eyes! Adding on to her ridiculous speed was her overwhelming strength and Spirit Qi control.
nThey never seen anything like it from a mere tenth-level Spirit Opening cultivator.
n
"This….just what kind of prowess is this? Everything about her is far better than our strongest Spirit Opening captain! And her aura….I only sensed a slight glimpse from it but, it's so unfathomably deep.
"
nAn eager glint glowed within Captain Liam's eyes. He was already expecting something good, but this just blows everything out of the water!
nNow, he was more than sure a change could start happening for their war.
nTaking a slight breath, Captain Liam kept his expression calm, telling Kali,
"Congratulations. That fight was utterly perfect. Now, according to the rules, you can wait on the side while he goes up to fight.
"
nKali nodded and began walking over to the sideline where Eras stood. At the same time, Cain started walking over to the center of the field.
nAnd as the sibling duo passed each, they briefly slowed down.
nExhaling a quiet sigh, Kali said in that instance,
"Oh brother, I'm starting to think we may just need to raze these woods for a true challenge.
"
n
"Now, now. Calm it down, will you? We'll get what we want soon enough. I'll finish this as quickly as you did.
"
nCain spoke with a placating tone. And though he was saying so, he also couldn't help but feel a gradual dry feeling from their battles.
nStill, nothing will come if they rush things. In fact, they might even reach a dead-end from being too hot-headed.
nKali understood these thoughts, so that's why with a casual shrug of her shoulders, she continued strolling on, eventually posting up right next to the now petrified Eras.
nKali didn't attempt to strike up a conversation. Though she did reveal a bit in the utterly bewildered gaze from Eras.
nThat served as another fuel for her already high superior ego.
nAt the same time, Cain reached the center of the field. He stood in the same relaxed stance as Kali, intently watching as Captain Liam shuffled about to choose another peak Tier 1 vicious beast.
nAnd this time, Captain Liam got rid of any foolish thoughts about jumping in to save Cain.
nClearly enough, this sibling duo's prowess runs deep like the abyss. At this point, he was merely doing this test out of formality's sake.
nThen, in the same process as before, Captain Liam hypnotizes a black armor rhinoceros beast.
nCompared to the red-fur lion, the armor rhino would have an extra added layer of defense, making it tougher to kill.
nBut Captain Liam was smart enough to piece together that won't matter at all. Releasing the beast from its cage, Captain Liam pointed the hypnotic ring towards Cain, uttering once again,
n
"Kill him.
"
nImmediately, a bestial roar bellowed out of the black armor rhino. Its Spirit Qi vigorously surged, and its aura intensified.
nWithout a moment of hesitation, the rhino shot towards Cain like a speeding bullet.
nRight then, a sense of Deja Vu struck both Eras and Captain Liam.
nCain didn't even bother with trying to stand out from his sister. Instead, he simply sprung forward, destroying the ground beneath and easily outspeeding the rhino beast.
nIn that instance, Cain struck out his fist too fast for the beast to ever hope to follow.
n'Puff~!'
nAnd once again, blood, flesh, and bones sprayed like a fountain of gore.
nThe rhino beast couldn't withstand a single strike from Cain, its now mangled corpse crashing just near his feet.
nStretching his hand out, it was then Cain realized he and Kali need to face Nascent Formation enemies.
n'Once this all done with, we'll just take the rest of the night to breakthrough. I am curious to see if we have a prowess that can cross over great realms. But, no point in taking unnecessary risks for now.'
nCain already formed a plan of action in his mind.
nSimultaneously Eras and Captain Liam sucked in a cold breath.
n
"Hisss….seriously, did I suddenly get blessed with luck to get saved by these two?
" Eras could only dumbfoundedly shake his head.
nTwo cultivators whose prowess majorly eclipsed the peak of the Spirit Opening realm and could possibly fight with half-step Nascent Formations!
nIt seemed so surreal to think the sibling duo had just randomly chanced upon his squadron. But from now on, Eras would be sure to thank the heavens every day for blessing them with this kind of tremendous help.
nThe same sentiments were shared with Captain Liam. He was entirely sure if the higher-ups were here, they would go rigid in absolute awe.
nThese two strengths are immense, almost to an unnatural degree. But no matter their origin, Captain Liam was immensely grateful these two were on their sides.
nHe shudders to think what would've eventually happened if these two collude with the Liang Tribe and get foster by them.
nUnaware of the two bewildered men's thoughts, Cain and Kali sent a look at each other before walking up towards Captain Liam.
n
