All students and examinees felt as if they fell into a nightmarish illusion. Their eyes tossed between Kali and Zaki, hoping this was all just some sick nightmare played upon them by their mind.
However, no matter how unwilling they were about the situation, reality didn't change at all.
At this moment, they all realized why Kali had such overwhelming arrogance. She wasn't a provoked fool at all. She's actually just this powerful!
"Zak can no longer move. Kali wins." Suddenly, Elder Mo announced the match result, awaking everyone from their stupor.
And finally, then, the youths appropriately reacted, turning the entire area into chaos!
"She-she's a true Martial Talent! Her comprehension of Nascent Qi is superior to nearly all of our great geniuses! I nearly felt like I was going to pass out under her aura!"
One Inner ranked student suddenly bellowed. He was also at the sixth level of the Nascent Formation realm and struggled trying to bear Kali's overwhelming dense Nascent Aura.
"It doesn't matter what her origin is now. She'll become a great genius in no time!"
"And to think Zak was trying to 'fairly' warn her. Truly embarrassing...."
Now, the students and examinees had no other choice but to admit Kali was superior to them all.
The Crimson Sea Academy students had a much better grasp on just why Kali's prowess was so overwhelming.
Her Martial Comprehension of Qi energies wasn't merely just excellent. It was at a level many could only dream about achieving.
"She truly has Heaven Defying Martial Comprnhesion!"
As Crimson Sea Academy students recognized this, they and the other examinees awe exponentially increased.
Heaven Defying Martial Comprehension is what its name implied. An ability that stands directly against the Heavens!
Kali's comprehension abilities are at a standard that would undoubtedly allow her to breeze through future cultivation realms. And this also grants her Qi energy that's hundreds of times denser than any other average cultivator!
The power of dense Qi energy is simply too unfathomable.
The Crimson Sea Academy students were aware that not even Azure Lightning Sect disciples have as much of an extreme Martial Comprehension as Kali!
And at this moment, Zhao Tan and Zhun Yi's expressions were atrocious. Both of them looked as if they just ate the dirtiest shit in their entire lives. Their fingernails dug into their skins, breaking them, drawing a trail of blood to run down their palms.
'She's just….just too strong!'
Their eyes stared unblinkingly into Kali's frightening image. Then, they both realized a spine-chilling fact that caused gross goosebumps to bubble up their skins.
If they were to fight Kali, they would end up precisely the same as Zak!
Between the sixth and seventh levels, there wasn't that much of a vast disparity between the quality of Nascent Qi.
Of course, a seventh-level cultivator would hold the superior advantage. But it would not be on the level Kali had just showcased.
And to think, they both carelessly provoked this girl, believing she's undoubtedly weaker than them. Recalling this thought made their chest painfully tighten up.
Honestly, their previous thought process wasn't wrong at all. It's the fact that Kali tore about their common sense is where the problem lies. Waves of regret washed over both Zhao Tan and Zhun Yi.
However, there was no medicine for regret.
Now neither Zhao Tan nor Zhun Yi could even raise their heads to directly stare into Kali's eyes. They feared she would remember their past transgression.
Without even fighting them herself, Kali managed to violently strike their Martial Hearts to the point of no return.
Unknowingly, their future cultivation would become heavily affected because of this very battle.
At this moment, upon the battle platform, Kali indifferently swept her gaze over the now still Zak. The results were entirely within her expectations.
Before coming here, she and her brother could crush any Liang Tribe's eighth-level Nascent Captains.
Of course, Liang Tribe cultivators couldn't hold a candle to these Academy students. But the fact still remained that eighth-level Nascent Qi prowess was only a vague challenge for her.
Facing off against a sixth-level youth was mere child plays to her.
Kali nearly felt bored for the entirety of their battle. The only satisfaction she received was ruthlessly crushing Zak's arm beyond repair.
A mortal trying to get into good graces with her? He's simply courting death!
If it wasn't for the fact they needed to enter the Academy, Kali would've performed a more cruel display.
Already pushing her mind off this quick fight, Kali was just about to ask Elder Mo what to do next. But as she slightly turned her head, a faint presence suddenly appeared on stage.
"Mn?" Kali snapped back her head around like an owl. Her eyes narrowed as there was now an older middle-aged man on stage, standing near Zak.
'Hm, a little interesting. I barely sensed him at all.' Kali promptly regards the middle-aged man as a powerful figure.
The mysterious sensation of his natural aura already told Kali his level is most likely either Innate Lord or above it.
Indeed, the Crimson Sea Academy doesn't lack in formidable strength. And as Kali ran her gaze over the middle-aged man, she suddenly felt his Spirit Sense intently lock on to her.
A faint sense of pressure slowly trickled down on Kali's body.
This sudden pressure made Kali's heart go freezing cold. She kept up a plain expression. But internally, a slumbering killing intent gradually rose.
Before anything significant could happen, the pressure instantly vanished off from Kali's body.
The middle-aged man didn't spare another glance at Kali. Instead, he swiftly picked up Zak and vanished from her sight.
This whole process took merely a few seconds.
During this short time, no other student or examinee even noticed the brief exchange. They all were too engrossed in fawning over an new Heaven-Defying talent.
The only one who did notice was, of course, Cain.
At this moment, his suspicions were undoubtedly raised. But he wasn't overly worried about anything potentially dangerous happening to them.
'These Inner students aren't under any specific teachers or masters, so no older generation should come seeking revenge. Plus, these guys aren't foolish enough to actually cause trouble for an great talent.'
Cain confidently concluded to himself. Although, he did note Kali's viciousness could be both a problem and a benefit for them. It was all about how they would appropriately use it within a given situation.
And Cain was thankful that it genuinely seems like Crimson Sea Academy does uphold the notion of fairness since nobody even cares much that Kali ruthlessly crushed one of Zak's arms.
"Young Kali."
After the middle-aged man left, Elder Mo decided to call for Kali's attention. He then pointed to a specific spot off by the side of the battle platform, telling her, "You can wait over there. Because of your victory, you will receive the special reward."
Kali wordlessly nodded without a change of expression. Before jumping off the stage, she briefly snapped her gaze over to Cain, shooting him a knowing wink.
As Kali left the battle platform, Elder Mo raised his voice.
"Everyone, attention." In an instant, Elder Mo silenced the noisy students and examinees.
With the attention back on him, he asked the youths, "Is there anyone else who would like to challenge a student?"
"I would like to challenge a student senior."
Cain immediately spoke out, raising his hand. Not missing a beat, he then continued to say, "Furthermore, I would like the same challenge as Kali, facing a student above my level."
As true to the sibling duo stride, Cain similarly emitted an air of pure confidence. There wasn't a hint of nerve or tension within his voice.
And this time, Cain's words were treated far seriously.
"So he's actually going to do this too….could he be another? Those two had the same results for the last two rounds."
"Maybe, but isn't this a little exaggerated? How can there be another Heaven-Defying Talent so closely related to each other?"
"This guy also has the same overflow of confidence, though. So we may see another miracle yet!"
Constant murmurs erupted throughout the crowds.
As far-fetched as it seems, nobody could deny the possibility of Cain having equally shocking Martial Talent. The cost of underestimating already made them all eat shit once.
It was a tough pill to swallow, but these youths had to accept that their sights were at the bottom of the well.
No matter what, they needed to seriously consider the possibility that Cain truly is another Heaven-Defying youth.
"Mn. If that's your wish." Elder Mo readily nodded, already half expecting this request. "Then it will be like this. Cain will fight against Inner Student Kyle."
Immediately, Cain jumped up onto the battle platform.
And at the same time he landed in one corner; another figure had landed in the opposite corner.
Cain stood tall among all prying eyes and focused his sights on the young man just fifty feet from him.
This young man had a more serious appearance and demeanor than Zak. He stood rigid and tense as if he was facing one of the greatest challenges of his young life.
In this situation, there wasn't any logical reason for Kyle to look down upon Cain. Attempting to do so and he might end up in a similar humiliating position as Zak.
Kyle cast all of his pride and dignity to the side. Even before the match began, he slowly stimulated his Qi Sea to be ready at a moment's notice.
His opponent may be a lower sixth-level Nascent Formation cultivation. But Kyle didn't care at all about that. He was going to use everything he had at the start!
As the anticipation shot through the roof, Elder Mo took one last glance between Cain and Kyle.
Letting the silence hang for only a moment, he then called out, "Begin!"
