Chapter 134: Senior Brother Cain

"This young man….you say he's the heaven-defying one, Cain? To think he's actually this fierce. He has hidden quite well." 

High up above everyone in the Martial Arena, several figures virtually invisible to everyone else were fervently discussing Cain's match.

These figures were five middle-aged men and women whose appearance wasn't striking at all. But their Auras would be enough to make thousands of promising geniuses bow their heads.

In the entire Azure Lightning City, they would only garner respect. And even the other top three organizations wouldn't so casually mess with these middle-aged-looking adults.

That's because each of them was Early Ranks Sky Rulers! 

They all perceived a level of Qi that was utterly unfathomable to tens of thousands of aspiring cultivators. 

The Energy coursing through their Qi Veins gives them unimaginable abilities and extremely high status within the Crimson Sea Academy. They're far above even other Elders, making their opinions and thoughts far more valuable.

Their Qi Energy control was excellent, so naturally, they would be able to hide away from all eyes. 

Initially, these Sky Ruler Elders only came down as an order from the Vice-Principal. None of them were expecting much out of Cain but were at least open-minded to be somewhat surprised. 

But within seconds, they weren't just somewhat surprised; they were absolutely bewildered! 

It was finally then they realized the meaning of heaven-defying; this was a Will that truly opposes all Law govern down from the Heavens! 

"This….Head Principal must see him very soon. I'm sure you all know the legend that young man is achieving."

One of the female Elders asked. And her words caused the other Elder's eyes to alight like a moth to a flame. 

"Heaven-Defying Martial Comprehension! A phenomenon that had only occurred within the Central Divine Region! With the far richer Qi environment and far more powerful bloodlines, it can at least be expected if a genius like this is born over there after possibly thousands of years. But this….how can a low-grade organization like we have someone like this?"

As one Elder spoke, everyone else fell into deep contemplation. 

The environment of Qi plays a huge factor that not many bother to pay attention to. 

Where the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy is the richest would naturally be where the most geniuses are born.

After all, from just within the womb, that cultivator would be passively purified by far richer air. And if one's foundation is incomparable pure before even birth, their cultivation road would be far smoother.

Their Soul's Core would be richly filled with pure Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, enhancing their base Soul Energy by several degrees. 

Soul Energy is the basis for cultivation. One needs to have some degree of control over it to absorb Qi Energy and break past Qi Mental blocks formed within one Mental Psyche. 

Being birthed in these places is an advantage that is impossible for lower-level Province to ever match.

Although, to even be born in those types of places is all up to fate and luck. 

The Central Divine Region is all controlled by the unfathomable Divine Kingdoms and Empires. Their control reaches to every corner of that massive Region.

Their monopoly is far too powerful for any lower-level organization to reasonably go against them. 

Because of this, Nine Provinces' cultivators are only granted with far weaker forms of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.

With far worse environments, naturally, the inheritance, resources, Qi Energies, and cultivation manuals would be of poorer quality. 

Compared to the Divine Region, there was a far greater imbalance of power coursing through the Nine Provinces.

And with no written rules or laws to police these Provinces, the competition was utterly brutal. This means civil war, massive strifes, and bloodshed inevitably happen a lot more often.

All Martial cultivators have their own set of reasons for participating in these conflicts. 

But most have one base foundation that drives them forward. 

This was the Spiritual Dependence a Martial cultivator would have over pursuing the very peak of all Qi Energy. 

And to even have a chance to reach this point, controlling as most resources as possible, no matter the means, is the most vital goal. 

All of this cumulates to the point where great importance is attached to the younger generations.

Young geniuses are the pillars of all organizations. They're the ones who will continue to pass down ancient cultivation manuals, rise their Sect to glory or suppress any future opposition.

The status of a genius isn't just for naming sake. It's what all old ancestors make sure to nurture, so their legacies, their livelihood will never wash away. And perhaps one day, a young genius reaches a level that surpasses all ancient legends, bringing about a new era of glory!

And as these Sky Ruler Elders intently stared over Cain's tall, study figure that can seemingly overturn the heavens alone, they all were beginning to believe a new legend was forming right in front of them.

"Cain….no….Senior Brother Cain is too fierce!" 

"In one move! Just one move! I couldn't even see how Adam got hit! His Lightning control and Qi control aren't anything Adam can touch!"

"This is Heaven-Defying Talent. Our Crimsons Sea Academy is blessed to have someone like Senior Brother Cain! Nobody else, not even those trash at Azure Lightning Sect can compare to this!"

The whole audience was in a frenzied uproar! Their shouts roar like a heavenly thunderclap, nearly shaking the entire Martial Arena! 

From this point forward, it wasn't merely Cain.

But Senior Brother Cain! 

Without anyone even knowing his actual age, he already garners immense respect from the Outer, Inner, and even some Core Ranking students.

True, they know they'll never be able to even walk in Cain's shadow. But the glory he can achieve for their Academy would be at godly levels! 

With all the roaring excitement carrying on, not every student shared the same emotion.

This was true for most Core Ranking students. Instead of excitement, they stared at Cain with attentive eyes. Each of them was of the utmost seriousness, placing Cain as if he was already at their cultivation realm.

That one attack Cain used to destroy Adam told them all numerous things. 

The number one crucial fact is that this guy can fully cross over into a great realm!

If perhaps Cain showed far more trouble, having to use his full strength, they wouldn't be so worried. But all Cain used was a slight trace of Energy, merely flicking his fingers out.

And with only that, he crushed Profound Qi like it was some weak Energy. The lowest form of Profound Qi is still Profound Qi in the end. 

If Cain were to use his full strength, just how terrifying would he be?

Moreover, these Profound Soul youths weren't even counting Cain's utilization of Lightning Energy. One of or if not, the Elemental Energy that has the highest of striking power!

Some Early Stage Profound Soul youths shook their heads, subconsciously thinking, 'If that were me down there, could I even properly defend against that?' 

Dozens of once firm Martial Hearts were fiercely shaken up.

"Shit….can Senior Brother Fu control an insane guy like this? He seems utterly untouchable!" 

At this time, Leon was mumbling to himself like a mad man. His expression looked like he ate the most horrid shit in the World.

How naive he was to think he could ever gain some form of payback.  With this battle, Cain's momentum would inevitably be unstoppable! 

Thinking of this, Leon quickly left to report everything to Qiao Fen.

On the Martial Stage, Cain had already dispersed his Lightning Energy, recalling in his powerfully dense Aura. As he did so, his extremely sensitive ears picked up on numerous sighs of relief. 

Cain's lips curled into a small smile now that everything was over. 

Before reaching the second Chaos Layer, he could already crush Early Stage Profound Soul Beasts.

After reaching the second Chaos Layer, his prowess only exponentially grew. Like he previously thought, Half-Step Profound Soul is mere child plays. 

And now, the first stage of his plan can fully start.

As Cain was about to walk off stage, he suddenly saw a medical Elder blurred right next to Adam, who had quickly fallen unconscious and taken him away. 

At the same time, the referee Elder floated down towards Cain, calling out to him. "Young Cain, here are your rewards for winning this match. From here on out, you will be publicly recognized as the number one Inner Ranked student."

Now the Elder's tone was filled with the utmost respect. A promising bright future was right before him, and he wanted to give his full support. 

As the Elder spoke, he handed over the rewarding spatial ring.

Taking the ring, Cain courtly nodded before jumping off the Martial Stage. He quickly entered the corridor hall, leaving all rowdy discussion behind and meeting up with Kali.

As the siblings crossed gazes, Kali had her natural battle-hungry smirk. She spoke with a trace of anticipation, "Look how insane they got over just beating some Half-Step Profound Soul kid. I can only imagine how it will be when we beat a full Profound Soul kid."

"Well, can you blame them? I just showed that I'll virtually become the strongest within the entire city with my Martial comprehension. The status latched on to me will be tremendous for all of them. Hell, when we get back home and show we can fight over a great realm, our Family's reaction will be just as crazed."  Cain pointed out.

And Kali's smile broadened to the point it split her face. "Now that's a reaction I can't wait to see!"

As they talked, the sibling duo gradually strolled out from the corridor.
