Chapter 142 - Rising Young Lords
"Th-that Ice Mastery! Was control like that always possible?!"
Students shot forth from their seats, standing with eyes that threatened to pop out of their sockets.
There's good and excellent Elemental control in which one can release part of its desctructive property.
But nothing has ever been to such an overwhelming degree like Kali's Elemental control!
When a genius showcases extreme control over other Elemental Energies such as Fire, they will cause great environmental destruction. Some Flames from geniuses can even melt stones infused with Qi! These stones were dozens of times sturdier than any tough mortal-made metal!
However, this was all in reasonable expectations.
To be able to use Fire Energy to instantly melt a person....that shouldn't ever be possible. Especially for someone simply in the Profound Soul Realm.
Even if a cultivator were at an extremely high cultivation, their Fire Energy control wouldn't be able to show off powerful abilities like that.
And this goes for the case for all other Elemental Energies.
Immediately freezing a foe with just a touch was simply unheard of!
However, as the Senior Core students started to contemplate this phenomenon further, their eyes flashed in realization.
"This….could it be that Senior Sister Kali's control over Ice Energies surpassed the base level, entering into a new realm entirely?"
One Senior Core student muttered out loud.
"Is that truly possible?? From what I read, reaching that level in other Energy control can only be achieved at the legendary Sage Core realm! Yet, Senior Sister Kali is only at peak Nascent Formation??"
Even the most experienced Core level students can only make assumptions about this.
Naturally, not a single one of them could ever come close to reaching the Sage Core realm. But there were old texts lying around their Academy, detailing that Sage Core powerhouses can reach a level in Energy control that would seem practically godly to anyone weaker.
For Sage Core powerhouses, performing actions like Kali would be a great showcase of power!
Even if Kali didn't have a prowess that crosses over into a great realm, everyone would still be utterly dumbfounded at her level of Ice Energy comprehension.
But no matter how she achieved this point, one thing was absolutely clear to all students.
Kali was another genuine heaven-defying Martial Talent! She is another future paramount of their entire Crimson Sea Academy!
This day will be an unforgettable legend in Crimson Sea Academy's history.
Two youngsters whose backgrounds are unknown holds Talent and prowess that will one day overturn the rules of their society with just a flip of their palm.
"M-match Won, Kali."
The referee Elder announced with a slight tremble in his voice. His eyes couldn't tear off Luca's convulsing form. This was just too terrifying.
How can anyone in the younger generation possibly compete with either Cain or Kali? These two are simply young monsters in human forms!
At that moment, a medical Elder suddenly flashed on stage, quickly rescuing Luca before blurring out of sight.
The referee Elder could only softly sigh.
Turning his attention back on Kali, he floated down towards her, saying, "Here are your rewards. You….are outstanding."
As the Elder handed over the rewarding ring, his words caught in his throat. He realized whatever status he could grant would absolutely pale in comparison very soon.
Kali didn't care about the Elder's thoughts, indifferently taking her rewarding ring.
And at that moment, three more presences flashed onto the stage.
Cain had, of course, appeared right besides Kali.
While Protector Elder Laung and Alisha popped in just several feet from the sibling duo.
Suddenly, it was like surrounding sounds faded into nothingness.
Protector Elder Laung and Discipline Lord Alisha hold extreme statues that not even a powerful Sage Core genius would dare to disrespect. And even with respect, a twinge of fear would interslice with it.
This kind of reverence was lost on Cain and Kali.
Kali's gaze remained cold as ice, uncaring to who these two Seniors are as a whole.
While Cain faintly smiles. His tone carried a noticeable assertive firmness as he said, "Well? How was it? That should be convincing enough, right?"
To speak with a tone that's like putting Alisha like an equal was unthinkable for students and even Elders!
Unless you're in the same cultivation realm, then such disrespect is just asking to be heavily punished.
However, since it was Cain using this tone, students couldn't find it strange at all.
In fact, they thought this was quite….natural?
When thinking more clearly about it, the smarter students could see why. In the future, Cain will inevitably reach the Sky Ruler Realm, eventually crossing into Sage Core.
His Martial Comprehension practically gives him the smoothest road to becoming a top master.
With all this in mind, the pride Cain has is genuinely worthy of having.
No overwhelming arrogance or aloofness. Only smoldering confidence that made it seem like he could overturn any situation.
And as Alisha listened to Cain's question, her expression didn't even twitch.
Her smile turned even more beautiful as she said, "Indeed, she can be granted the same status. All in all, I'm grateful that you both accept this. Now then, don't resist my Energy. I'll be taking you to your new residency."
After speaking, Alisha waved her palm, sending out a small invisible leakage of her Aura.
With her Sky Ruler cultivation, it didn't matter how much of a genius Cain and Kali were. Her Aura immediately engulfed without the slightest resistance from their Natural defensive.
And like she told them, neither sibling resisted in the first place.
The sibling duo only felt a slight tingling sensation course through them. Then, Alisha, Cain, and Kali morphed into trails of lights as they blasted off into the skies.
"Time really is changing….a new history is upon us." Protector Elder Luang quietly muttered to himself, his expression still in slight disbelief.
A new goal had formed from within the depths of his mind. That is, no matter what, Cain and Kali must be greatly fostered by them!
Without wasting another moment, Protector Elder similarly turned into a trail of light shooting into the skies.
As the audience saw all of the important figures leave, their excitement still didn't lessen.
For weeks or even months to come, Cain and Kali will be a fervent topic of discussion.
The future young lords of their Crimson Sea Academy are on their rise!
"Huu~. So she can put on a decent show."
At the corridor leading to the Martial Stage, Amber's expression glazed over in a soft smile.
At this moment, she was in an intriguing position. To see the sibling duo again won't be as simple anymore. Their status is too precarious for even the most special ranked genius.
Never before in her life would Amber consider doing this. But to see either of those cultivation junkies, she'll need to pull some strings from her Family.
The thought sounded tiring to her. But Amber couldn't suppress anticipation from enjoying a new start together.
….
The sensation of soaring through the wind, akin to a bird, was utterly tantalizing for Cain.
At the speed Alisha was going, everything simply seemed like a blur.
He estimated they had to be going at least sonic level of speed!
Thankfully, Alisha's Aura protected him and Kali from getting shredded by just merely the tremendous air pressure.
Because of this, Cain could freely engross himself with the incredible sensation of flying.
'So this how it will be like when I reach the Innate Lord Realm, huh? Shit, I should've pushed for increasing our cultivation far sooner!'
Cain's expression was giddy like a kid's. His smile split across his entire face as his eyes overflowed with bright lights.
This is one of the main aspects that separates him far from Mortal Life. Stepping on the air itself, defying all manner of gravity!
Cain felt like this was another of this universe's great pleasures that further strengthened his drive for ultimate cultivation power.
Even Kali had curiosity swirling all around her face. Flying indeed was an intriguing sensation that pushed her drive to reach this level of power.
However, all good things had to end at some point.
Soon enough, Cain and Kali felt everything come to a screeching stop. Their vision rapidly cleared as they came upon new scenery.
All around them was an open garden-like field even more beautiful than the unique ranking field.
The flowers and trees were all in full bloom, emitting dazzling rainbow lights. Each flower looked exotic, and hanging from numerous tree branches were unique-looking fruits that all had striking designs.
This field exuded an even better peaceful vibe than the special ranking field.
A hypnotic fresh fragrance rolled the entire atmosphere. Just one whiff of this scent, and anyone could feel the tension emit out of their bodies.
Cain and Kali only took one look over the field before their attention was instantly grabbed. Meters away from them was a grand, luxurious house that was around five stories tall.
The structure and design of the house weren't particularly striking. But the Qi Energy emitting out from them was amazing!
"So pure and rich!" Cain and Kali gave their honest assessments simultaneously.
Out of all areas the sibling visited so far on this Mortal Planet, barring the Sword Sage's cave, this was the richest Qi Energy they had perceived.
"Fufu~. So it seems you two are already taking a liking here?"
From right next to them, Alisha giggled, entirely amused by these youngsters' reactions.. Even prideful geniuses like them can make such a cute reaction.
