Several days quickly passed since the Crypt Grave opening.


    As the eager youths returned back to the city, each of them was all overly joyous by their various harvest and gains.


    And unlike previous years, there was no major death!


    For all previous Crypt Grave unsealing, it was synonyms that death was inevitable if any brave, young elites were to travel out there.


    Even though that all young elites were keenly aware of the danger, unfortunate idents were bound to ur.


    After all, this was danger that stemmed from the Will and Soul of the World.


    Not even the most powerful of cultivators can resist unknown forces like this.


    However, for one reason or another, everyone had survived! It was almost like a genuine blessing miracle fell over everyone that went.


    This was incredibly joyous news for the Elders that these young geniuses background.


    No matter if it was a Family, n, or Sect organization, the death of promising young geniuses will always be a significant loss. Their loss means a major loss of future a powerful future force that can potentiallyst up for future generations.


    But now, not only have they lived, but they had alsoe back far stronger.


    The only damper on this news came from the Ink Rain Sect.


    For a reason nobody across the City could understand, that heinous Sect was iming the reason for their survival was because of the blessing from the Ink Master.


    Furthermore, they were also calming change wasing far sooner than anyone could ever expect.


    If anyone were to hear this random spiel on the streets, they would directly ignore this random nonsense.


    There was only one change that the citizens noticed, but nobody treated it seriously. That is the odd ck substance still leaking through the clouds.


    Even after a few days, it still hasn''t cleared.


    But theck of any energy from the ck substance made it a non-issue in everyone''s eyes.


    Perhaps if the ck substance canst up to months, people would start to investigate.


    But for now, Families, Sects, and ns went on their joyous asion, celebrating the return of their geniuses.


    …


    At this time, in Crimson Sea Academy Discipline Lords field, Cain, Kali, and Amber were unaware of any and all changes to the outside World.


    Cain and Kali were currently in their massive training room, standing just thirty feet apart. The air permeating the room was a strange mix of a freezing and a scorching atmosphere.


    Without even making a move, the sibling duo''s Natural Aura shed against each other, both sides fighting forplete dominance.


    At their level of Martial perception, the sibling duo is rapidly approaching the point where their natural presence can emit pure power.


    Their Qi Origin Seed was incredibly dense, allowing their bodies to emit power without even gathering energy.


    To formte an Aura that seemed indomitable powerful was the making of an absolute divine genius!


    Through battles, high Martial perception, and a firm Martial Heart, only then can geniuses grasp this level.


    Kali''s icy eye bore a hole into Cain''s face. Her expression contained the utmost severity, treating Cain as if he was the only enemy in her life.


    Simultaneously, Cain was also serious about this small little spar. His body was tense to instantly react, even for the smallest of moves Kali could perform.


    During thesest couple of days, Cain noticed that their spar had be increasingly tense and violent. They both pushed each other to limits until one couldn''t move anymore.


    With each spar they undergo, Cain bes increasingly impressed with Kali''s sheer tenacity.


    If Cain doesn''t use his Chaos Spirit Force or Soul Form, he and Kali are nearly evenly matched.


    When using their Soul Form, Cain''s prowess gradually eclipses Kali. And with the Chaos Spirit Force, it would be impossible for Kali to win.


    But even then, dealing with Draconic Ice energy wasn''t easy at all.


    Just the slightest mistake, and Cain would actually need to divert a considerable amount of energy just to suppress the Ice energy.


    Her attainments with Draconic energy are gradually eclipsing him!


    But at the same time, Cain has a far more varied arsenal.


    Only a few times had Cain used his Spiral Sword in their spars. And once he pulled this move out, Kali would be incredibly hard-pressed tost a dozens of moves.


    Because of the massive weapon difference, Cain tried to persuade Kali to finally seek out a weapon. However, she still ims there''s nothing around here that''s particrly suitable for her.


    Since Kali didn''t want it, Cain wasn''t going to force her. In any case, her prowess is still far too heaven-defying for any Lower Realm cultivator to understand.


    As of now, the sibling duo was preparing for another blood-pumping spar.


    But just as they were about to move, Amber had suddenly shown at the training room entrance.


    "Hey, hold on. Before you crazy sibling duo goes at it, you''ve got another request."


    Amber loudly cut in, uncaring to the suffocating atmosphere here. She had a brightly colored book in her hand as she made her way over to them.


    ncing at her and then the book, Kali lightly snorted. "You really are serious about Spirit energy, huh? You''ve been in that book every time I see you now."


    "Well, how could I not be? You think I will bezy with this?" Amber huffed up. "Day by day, I can just feel my Spirit energy control improve. Soon enough, I''ll take on that test and enter the same league as you. Then, we can practice together a lot more. Well…Cain and I will."


    As Kali merely rolled her eyes, Cain briefly probed his Spirit Sense into Amber''s Spirit Space. The results left him feeling as impressed as he did with Kali.


    In just these two days, Amber had rapidly refined her Spirit energy control to nearly the same level he could perform!


    She will have zero problems with using Spirit Energy for long periods of time.


    This kind of quick learning could only be done by the immense abilities of a true genius. With Amber''s already extraordinary Martial perception, she simply applied those abilities to Spirit energy.


    And because of her genuine passion for Spirit Energy, the results were more than evident.


    At one time, Cain did bring up breaking the barrier that separates Qi and Spirit energy to Amber. But, as he expected, Amber causally refused, iming it would be a waste on her.


    Cain found it a bit of a loss, considering Amber''s prowess could grow significantly with it. Moreover, her understanding of both Qi and Spirit energy could improve as well.


    At the same time though, with Amber putting herplete focus in, Cain didn''t doubt her perception about Spirit energy could surpass him and Kali.


    Even for regr cultivation or any other daily needs, the technical side of Spirit energy is instrumental.


    In fact, Bex informed Cain that some Spirit Arts can instantly defeat someone without the use of overwhelming force.


    It may be an entirely different path than their Martial Road, but Amber can certainly reach the peak of the Spirit Road, enlightening herself on the hidden truths of the Origin of Spirit Source.


    And to reach the peak of the Spirit Parth, it''ll require long, arduous years, entirely simr to Qi cultivation.


    Pushing down these thoughts, Cain then asked, "So? Just what offers do we have today?"


    "Heh. Believe it or not, this came from abination of a Discipline Lord and the two top-ranking geniuses. Even if I wanted to ignore this, Alisha would probablye and bother you about this. Basically, Fan Fu and Yang Ling want an audience with you two while Discipline Lord Ellie is present. This is for the Crimson Meetinging up soon if you remember that. Basically, Ellie is the main overseer for this huge event, and they wanted to speak with you about being the special VIP for this whole event. And, you know how it is, connection news to broadcast their status and in turn, elevate their own position."


    Amber exined with a faint smile. Her tone nearly treated this message as if it was a colossal joke. And only she would have the qualifications to do so.


    There was a time in the past where she would have to show the utmost respect for the Crimson Meeting because of the significant status it represents.


    She even had to seriously participate for a little bit just to get her family off her back.


    Now, however, this was nothing but a small event that was entirely under her.


    Amber usually wasn''t the one to be arrogant or boastful. But, even she couldn''t suppress this sense of satisfaction.


    This satisfaction will rise even more when she officially aplishes her life-long dream of bing a World Spirit Master!


    As Amber was briefly lost in thought, Cain and Kali shot a look at each other.


    Kali''s lips mockingly curled, saying, "They don''t know when to quit. Still, our answer is the same as ever. Just tell them to piss off. We''re busy getting ready for the Spiritual Exchange event."


    Cain also agreed, saying, "Even beyond just our status, what we gained from the Haven Pool was a lot to digest. I''m nearly done with perfecting my current Spirit energy control, so in a way, Kali isn''t wrong at all."


    At this point, Cain was more than sure that he and Kali crossed over an entire boundary to match Early Stage Innate Lord prowess.


    As just an Early Stage Profound Soul cultivator, Cain could easily match an overdrawn blood essencebusted Liang He.


    Even as Liang He didn''t fully realize the mysteries of the World or grasp Law essence; he still had the raw power to easily match any regr Early Stage Innate Lord.


    And now, not only has he reached Middle Stage Profound Soul but also rapidly stabilized it due to his fights with Kali.


    When speaking of Kali, she had also reached Middle Stage Profound Soul, causing her prowess to dramatically shoot up.


    If they were to face up with the oldest Senior Core ranking students, both Cain and Kali were assured to utterly crush them in just a few moves!


    The only reason they haven''t tried is that the sibling duo wants a considerable challenge. They wanted someone that could truly push them to their limits while also showcasing decent enough Martial perception to learn from. ]


    "Hehe~. I expected such an answer." Amber giggled like sweet silver bells.


    "I suppose I''ll go tell them right away. Though, before I go, I''ve been meaning to ask before but got too caught up with Spirit Energy. But, are you nning on revealing your 2nd ss Spirit Energy Cain?"


    Though she could see the apparent benefits over showcasing this, Amber couldn''t help but worry this may be too shocking. She still had the premonition that World Spirit Masters can be potentially far more ruthless because of their domineering attitude.


    Cain only needed a few moments to think over this answer. He''s actually been contemting this ever since he first reached 2nd ss Spirit energy.


    And the simplest answer was to take the most obvious road.


    Cain told her, "Yes. But only secretly to Bex. With her, she will be able to deal with any issues that could arise with this. And when the Spirit exchange event starts, I will need to showcase it then. By that time, Bex willpletely cover for me."


    If there was one person that can he say waspletely reliable outside of Kali and Amber, it would be Great Spirit Master Bex. Even now, he can avoid all of his World Spirit Master duties because of her.


    The graciousness she showed would be something that Cain can''t forget.


    As Amber heard that honest, faithful tone pour out of Cain, she curiously tilted her head, brows cutely furrowing in thought.


    "That woman sure is dependable, huh? Anything Spirit energy rted, you always find a reason to bring her up. With all this hype surrounding her, I''m quite intrigued to finally meet her, hehe~."


    Herugh was sweet and jovial as usual. Nobody will be able to tell anything was wrong with her tone.


    But when Cain heard her, he wryly smiled while tracing his nose. "You don''t really have to worry about anything. Bex will treat you as fervently as us when you showcase the same level of talent. That woman is dutiful to her whole Branch."


    The calmness of the Martial Heart truly is helpful when dealing with emotions. Cain could say it''s undoubtedly a top-tier ability.


    As Amber huffed and was about to tease Cain, Kali suddenly cut in, pping her hands impatiently.


    "Not now with your flirting act. Do it when we''re all tired out."


    Towards Kali''s haughtiness, Amber broke out a smile that was sure to annoy her, threw her arms around Cain, and pulled him for a sensual kiss.


    Cain was a bit surprised but wrapped his arms around Amber, pulling her in tighter whilepletely ignoring the impatient Kali.


    As warmth and pleasure jolted through them, Amber only pulled back after several moments.


    Licking her lips, she said, "Hurry up and tucker her out.. I can''t wait to receive more of your special lessons."
