Within the Crimson Sea Academy, there were numerous hidden chambers most students and the average Elder didn't even know about.
The status needed to simply be aware of the hidden chambers was at a level most Core level students wouldn't be able to fathom.
Elders as well don't carry the status to know about the hidden chambers. And many Elders are far more valuable to Crimson Sea Academy's talented students. Yet, they all remained blissfully ignorant.
The only students just vaguely aware are the peak Core level ones. These are the students that can directly contend with Elders and essentially the Core future leaders of the Crimson Sea Academy.
Their status was naturally above all other students and the average Elder.
Such secrecy was all for a very critical reason.
These hidden chambers all hold the most influential figures of the entire Crimson Sea Academy!
Any one of these figures can cause great waves throughout the entire Azure Lightning City. Even the number one ranked Azure Lightning Sect wouldn't dare to needlessly provoke any one of these powerhouses.
And within one of these hidden chambers, a meeting about two particularly fascinating youths was taking palace.
A middle-aged man and woman stood respectfully behind a luxuriously designed round table.
At the head of the table was an intimidating-looking man whose mere presence can cause shivers to crawl up even Sky Ruler level Elders! Nobody in their right mind would dare to breathe wrongly around him.
His head was shinily bald, and his expression cold as ice. He was akin to a dangerous beast that could snap on you within an instant.
The middle-aged man and woman were respectively Elder Mo and Xue.
And facing off against this fierce bald man, the Elders didn't dare to lose their expressions.
Elder Mo was speaking first, saying, "Protector Luang. Has a decision finally come to about Cain and Kali? From reports, it appears they're currently training in the Stormy Wind Tunnel."
"And also from recent updates, they appear to not be struggling at all. I'm not sure if they are also Wind attributed cultivators, but their physical strength is at a higher standard than Inner ranked students." Elder Xue also chimed in.
Even as they both gave reports about Cain and Kali, both Elders still felt surreal about the situation.
Just how often could they receive genuine Sky Ruler Talents?
Taking hundreds of steps back, just how often can they even receive genuine peak Innate Lord Talents?
Hundreds of years did they serve in the Crimson Sea Academy, and the status quo only shook a few times.
A Sage Core Talent was extreme, but not a point where it broke all common sense.
But Heaven-Defying Talents were at a completely different level.
This was a realm where if those rising youths didn't perish early, they would undoubtedly stand at the summit of the whole City!
Perhaps it won't even just stop at the summit of Azure Lightning City. Maybe Cain and Kali can even greatly surpass the Azure Lightning Sect Master and go on to venture into the stronger Provinces!
Nothing was set in stone as the future is highly unpredictable. But the chances seem highly likely.
As the Elders made all kinds of wild thoughts, the hidden chamber fell into stuffing silence.
Protector Luang closed his eyes within these few seconds. Various thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.
Then, only moments later, he told them, "As of now, it is not final. But, the Head and Vice-principal are considering letting Discipline Lord Alisha overseer their progress. Before anything, we must make sure their attitude is in the right place. For now, continue keeping subtle tabs on them."
Elder Mo and Xue felt a slight shock jump through their bodies. A Discipline Lord will get involved?
Moreover, Discipline Lord Alisha?!
This truly is a situation worthy of the highest order of attention!
Elder Mo and Xue, of course, didn't share their thoughts. They wordlessly nodded before swiftly leaving the hidden chamber.
….
Night soon fell over the Crimson Sea Academy.
Over at the special Ranking-List student field, many were already cooped in their small living quarters.
In one such luxurious house, Cain had arrived home not too long ago. He was in a vast, spacious training room specifically designed to meet all students cultivating needs.
The room was over 2000 square feet wide, allowing Cain all the movement in the world.
Furthermore, the walls were powerfully reinforced with Spirit Energy, meaning it could take all the punishment Cain could possibly muster up.
As of right now, Cain stood like a statue directly in the center of the room. His eyes closed shut in complete, utter focus. He was currently revolving his Lightning Draconic Arts manual and stimulating the Lighting Spark within his Qi Sea.
Sharp whistling whirled around Cain as the wind stormed into a violent frenzy. His Nascent aura gushed forth, spreading across every inch of the training room.
At this point, Cain was powerful enough to strike large holes into boulders, crack the ground into spiderwebs and even leave afterimages with his speed.
This prowess was now amplified with the addition of Astral Energy within his bones.
If Cain was outside right now, the ground would slightly cave in beneath his incredible rise of power.
However, inside this training room, Cain couldn't even make a dent in anything!
His aura simply bounced off the wall like a harsh breeze. This was the greatness of a World Spirit Force training room. It can withstand all types of spars or any kind of powerful cultivation method!
Unless Cain was stronger than that World Spirit Force Master, he was free to use this room without the fear of his prowess accidentally rushing out and destroying the other rooms.
In these few seconds, Cain only released his Nascent Aura and Qi. He didn't yet bring out his Draconic Lightning Aura.
Currently, he has a plan for doing so. Cain was bringing his body to its absolute strongest state it could achieve on its own.
Doing this actually requires him to be intently concentrated for several seconds.
Of course, in actual battle, there was simply no way Cain could ever attempt this. Even half a second can cost him everything.
However, from performing this process, Cain could achieve a prowess greater than what he usually has when releasing his Draconic Lightning Aura. This state would also be when he has far more Draconic Lightning energy to control.
'Zzzt~!'
After a few seconds, thunderous sounds of roaring Lightning bounced off the walls.
Streaks of Lightning energy crashed onto the walls, creating a brilliant spectacle of bright blue flashes.
Around Cain's body, his Draconic Lightning Aura completely shrouded him. His appearance was that of a terrifying Lightning demon in human form. If any regular student were to gaze upon this, their wits would already be frightened beyond repair.
In his Draconic Lightning Aura state, Cain still didn't move. He calmed his rising heartbeat and adrenaline pumping through his veins.
Draconic Lightning energy always gave Cain the feeling of an incredible rush. Every time he used it, he needed to strike something hard and fast.
It didn't matter who it was; he would unleash the terror of Draconic Lightning energy upon his target.
By harmonizing with these thoughts, Cain would feel that his battle instincts turn sharper. He knew what perfect attack to make and how should he predict his enemy's next move.
It could be said this was also Cain's battle-ready state.
However, for tonight, Cain didn't let himself fall into that state. He forcefully quelled all thoughts for action and ruthless violence.
As he did so, Cain's battle-sharpen instincts frantically fought back at him.
He is the Will of a Dragon! Why should he suppress himself?!
These instinctual thoughts heavily struck Cain's mind. His eyebrows furrowed, feeling increasingly stressed over this situation.
No matter how calm he was, it was exceedingly difficult to fight back against the instincts of a Dragon God Bloodline!
It was like trying to upheaval an entire mountain with his bare hands!
In response to this, Cain quickly searched for a solution. And it didn't take him long to figure it out; his Martial Heart! Or, more specifically, his Soul Core!
As these two were linked, Cain decided to use this situation to temper his Martial Heart Will.
If other cultivators were to attempt this, the difficulty would be sky-high. Wanting to stimulate one's Soul Core was an arduous and painful process even the most talented cultivators simply decline to do.
There were other ways to temper the Martial Heart Will. But none of it could compare with stimulating the Soul Core directly.
And these restrictions didn't apply to Cain at all.
Even before coming to this universe, as a mere ordinary mortal, Cain could already call upon his Soul Core. Whenever he wanted to stimulate his Soul Core for Soul energy, it was easy as flipping the palm of his hand.
At this moment, Cain instantly stimulated his Soul Core, gushing forth waves of Soul energy.
This time, he didn't attempt to bring out his Chaotic Emerald. Cain instead directed the Soul energy to his heart, bloodstreams, and brain.
Mere seconds passed, and Cain's Soul energy already filled up each part of his internal body. In that instance, a refreshing wave of soul energy thoroughly washed over Cain.
His mind tore away from his innate violent instincts. The dominating effects of his Draconic Lightning energy were significantly suppressed by the mystical effects of his Soul energy.
This was the fantastic ability of the Martial Heart. The ability to let a cultivator enter a calming state no matter the circumstances.
While in this state, Cain's Draconic Lightning Aura visible calmed down. No longer was it wild and rampant. Now it flowed more like a calming stream of water flowing down a riverbank.
As Cain got his Draconic Lightning Aura under his control, he then focused all of his Draconic Lightning energy towards his palm.
At the same time, his mind was revolving the Martial Skill of the first stage of his Lightning Draconic Arts.
The Lightning Dragon Claw!
This was an offensive skill that sends the might of true Draoncinc Power at an opponent!
Of course, at Cain's current level, he could only use a mere sliver of true Draoncinc Power. But learning this Martial Skill would be the strongest attack he could muster up.
If he were to fight someone on the exact same level as him, this Martial Skill would be his greatest trump card.
Cain was the most focus he had ever been in his life. He carefully followed every step of this process, running his Draconic Lightning energy in a precise energy flow.
Just the slightest mistake, and he would have the start all over again.
Seconds turn into minutes, and then, nearly a whole hour pass.
And when close to an hour came by, a sudden vigorous surge of power erupted from Cain!
The air around Cain burned to boiling degrees as his aura significantly increased.
All of Cain's energy concentrated to one single point. He slowly raised his right hand up and a bright flash emitted from his hand!
'Chi!'
The blinding flash lasted only for a moment. When the flash died down, Cain's right hand experienced a monumental change.
Currently covering Cain's right palm was a majestic Dragon Lightning Claw!
The Dragon Lightning Claw extended six feet over Cain's palm. It held a beastly appearance that could make even the powerhouse feel sweat over.
Then finally, after all this time, Cain snapped his eyes.
His face immediately broke out into a maddening wide grin that showcased his sharp beastly teeth.
The power contained within his palm was immense! It was the greatest he ever wielded since starting his journey.
