The Chaos Dragon Prince

Countless hours seemed to breeze by in an instant for Cain and Kali.

The sibling duo stayed true to their words throughout this entire time. Cain poured his all into quickly mastering Chaos Energy, all the while Kali provided support.

With each time Cain used the Chaotic Emerald, he would only get better and better. The time it would take for him to teleport would rapidly shorten with each successful attempt.

By his 30th try, he only needed a minute to gather chaos energy. And by his 70th try, he only needed a half a second at most.

And, not only was Cain's time shortening, the drain on his soul energy reserved was lessening.

By the time he was on his 70th try, he sensed he had at least ten percent of his soul energy reserve.

If he was just on his own, Cain and Kali calculated it would take at least thirty minutes for his soul energy to fully recover at this point. For Cain specifically, his soul energy had unique regenerative properties.

Though she never saw it herself, Kali did learn that soul energy should take a significantly longer time to regenerate than normal Qi energy. But, it seemed like such rules didn't apply to Cain.

However, Cain and Kali only did this calculation once.

To squeeze as much time as they can, Kali repeatedly fed Cain energy pills that nearly instantly recovered his reserves.

As she repeatedly did so, Kali wasn't bored or distracted at all. Instead, she was intently attentive, making sure to take several notes on how quickly Cain was mastering this ability. At points, it nearly reached dumbfounded levels on how quickly Cain was adapting.

Truthfully, Cain still wasn't quite sure why he was so mastering Chaos Energy this quickly. He couldn't tell if he has natural high Martial Talent since he didn't need to comprehend any part of Chaos Energy.

All he needed to do was simply focus without fail, and he would become like a sponge, rapidly learning how to bend 5% of Chaos Energy to his will.

Just for extra reference, Cain made sure to read through the ancient book again to see if it could explain his quick mastery. But all he got from it is that his soul has an Innate direct link to the Chaotic Force.

This was something he already read, and nothing was explained further.

Cain basically had to assume he's just a naturally gifted genius with Chaos Energy.

Initially, Cain believed he would need at least a day before mastering the first Chaotic Layer Link. However, after what seemed like the whole night had already passed, Cain felt as if he reached a critical point.

His current attempt now would make this his 300th try in using the Chaotic Emerald.

And as Cain gathered his soul energy, he immediately sensed a direct change. Now he could move out his soul energy as naturally like he was moving his own arm!

With a simple thought, Cain could pour soul energy throughout his entire body like a refreshing stream of water. There wasn't even the slightest bit of trouble with surging his soul energy now.

A broadly pleased smile began crossing Cain's lips at this moment. He briefly tossed his eyes over to Kali and said in an exuberant tone,

"Sis, the time to repair our cultivation is about to come now!"

"Eh-Eh?? Really??"

Kali rapidly blinked her eyes in slight shock. She almost fell into a trance after watching Cain practice hundreds of times, so this news jolted more of her mind awake.

Instead of answering Kali, Cain kept up his smirk and swiftly poured his soul energy inside the Chaotic Emerald.

And finally, after hundreds of attempts, Cain no longer felt any intense resistance when attempting to seize Chaos Energy.

When grasping Chaos Energy with his soul energy, Cain almost felt like he was sinking his arm into a relaxing pool of water.

Then, in just seconds, Cain seized 5% of Chaos Energy with utter ease.

Similar to soul energy, using this amount of Chaos Energy almost became as easy as using his arm. Simultaneously, on the outside, his Chaotic Emerald didn't glow up in blindingly harsh green light.

Now, the Chaotic Emerald's green glow was pleasant, almost beautiful to gaze upon.

Kali's mouth had even hung slightly open as she was entranced by the radiant shimmer sparkling from the Chaotic Emerald.

In this instance, Cain briefly closed his eyes.

All by relying on the soul sense that Cain assumed he developed during his training, he could feel out how far he could travel. At this moment, if he wanted to, Cain was sure he could teleport miles away from his room.

But instead of doing that, Cain felt a sense of mischievousness arise within him. His senses locked on the spot right in front of Kali and-

'Chi!'

"Wha??"

A slight green flash illuminated Cain's room as Kali nearly fell over in sudden shock.

Once again, Cain decided to take it upon himself to shock her by suddenly teleporting right in front of her face!

A sense of awe and annoyance swiftly bubbled within Kali's mind. She clearly wasn't so keen on getting suddenly surprised again.

With an acutely huffing expression, Kali began to snort out, "Hmm!! I thought I told you to-"

'Chi!'

Before Kali could finish her reprimanding, another green flash sparked right in front of her face.

Kali was forced to blink her eyes, and upon reopening, Cain was gone!

As Kali started to wonder just what happened, Cain's teasing voice flowed right into her ears.

"Looking for me?"

"Hue?"

In an instant, Kali snappily turned around only to spot Cain standing several inches away behind her, all the while spouting a fatigued smile.

Any annoyance previously swirling inside Kali vanished at that moment. Being able to consecutively teleport in just a mere second? Doesn't this means….

"Cain! Did you already master that first chaos link?!"

"Indeed, I did." Cain nodded and let loose a slight fatigue breath.

His Chaotic Emerald green shine vanished as the Chaos Energy from his soul dispersed. However, the Chaos Energy didn't disperse because Cain't couldn't control it, but rather, he was low on soul energy reserves.

This means in just mere hours, Cain indeed mastered 5% of Chaos Energy!

A great sense of elation and accomplishment continually swelled inside Cain's mind. In just a measly day, he already accomplished his first step to becoming a soaring expert.

With this kind of momentum, Cain was sure he could reach his dream in no time at all.

The only thing that Cain had to take notice of was that for his second teleportation, the range he could cover had significantly shortened. Like he expected, even with complete mastery, he'll need to make his first teleportation jump count.

Yet, despite this limitation, Cain felt as if a whole new world just got open to him because of the other myriad of abilities he can now perform.

"This is-this is….simply fantastic, Cain! I can already smell our victory on the horizon!"

Kali was also absolutely ecstatic at Cain's complete mastery. She, too, could just taste the day where her life of being a birth defect was over!

Right then, Kali quickly fished out another healing pill from her pocket and asked Cain in a fervent tone, "Do you need a pill now? We could wait for the other things if you want a quick rest."

In response, Cain promptly shook his head. He wasn't going to waste any time laying around.

Shrugging her shoulders but still keeping up that excited smile, Kali wordlessly tossed the pill into Cain's mouth.

As she did so, Kali asked another question. "So! How will this process go? Would we need to prepare anything beforehand?"

After taking a couple of seconds to let the pill do its magic, restoring him back to full soul energy, Cain shook his head and told Kali, "No, nothing of that sort. All you need to do is simply put your hand on the emerald and don't resist the energy that will flow into you."

As he spoke, Cain had then held the Chaotic Emerald towards Kali.

Wordlessly following his instructions, Kali swiftly placed her hand on the warm feeling emerald. Waves of anticipation couldn't be suppressed within Kali's heart no matter how hard she tried.

In just mere moments, this will be it. Hers and Cain's ticket to true Dargonhood! From this moment, Kali was determined to show her whole Royal Family who's the true pride of the Dragons!

A similar sense of excitement was also rushing through Cain's body.

And since he's already back to full soul energy reserves, he promptly began the Chaos Qi Veins process.

Then, with a thought, Cain arose his soul energy, quickly pouring straight into the Chaotic Emerald.

A beautiful green shimmer glowed out of the Chaotic Emerald as Cain's soul energy stirred inside it. This time, Cain didn't try to seize as much Chaos Energy as he could.

As per the ancient book instructions, all he needed to do was gradually pull the Chaos Energy into his Qi Veins. And at the same time, he would need to accurately split off half of his soul energy to travel through Kali's body so the Chaos Energy could enter her Qi Veins.

All of this sounded like a daunting task. However, Cain could do it with absolute ease.

Because of his complete mastery control over 5% of Chaos Energy, Cain had no problem splitting his soul energy into two different streams.

The first stream of soul energy pulled Chaos Energy directly into Cain's body and was immediately absorbed into his Qi Veins. At the same time, the exact same process was occurring with Kali's Qi Veins.

With his newly developed soul sense, Cain could feel out both his and Kali's body. And then, by using his soul energy as the basis, he gradually pours Chaos Energy into their Qi Veins.

Cain quickly fell into a magically focused trance as he filled up their 34 main Qi Veins with Chaos Energy.

As he did so, Cain started to recall the intricacies of Qi Veins.

From what Kali told him, in their universe, everyone is born with a set of 34 Main Qi Veins. These Main Qi Veins are what give people the basis to start cultivating.

However, there could be cases where either the Main Qi Veins are damaged at birth or simply have little to no aptitude to absorb Spirit Qi. Thus, there are a variety of factors that determine how one Main Qi Veins will turn up as.

But Kali told Cain, the main determining factor for one's Main Qi Veins is their innate bloodline.

And being the grandchildren of a powerful Dragon God, Cain and Kali's Qi Veins should've been at a divinely ranked aptitude. This is why it was such a phenomenal outcry that they both had such little aptitude as if they were both weak mortals.

However, this seemingly birth defect was about to change right at this moment.

Only several seconds at most passed since Cain began this process, and neither he nor Kali felt any intense sensation as Chaos Energy filled their Qi Veins.

Once Cain fell into a focused rhythm, he swiftly sped up their Chaos Energy absorption rate. In only a couple of minutes, Cain had reached the critical juncture of this process.

Once his and Kali's 34th Main Qi Vein finished filling up, a tremendous rush of power filled their entire being!

'Chi!'

A beautiful green Chaos Energy glow illuminated the Chaotic Emerald and Cain and Kali's entire bodies!
