The Chaos Dragon Prince

"Another heaven-defying talent?? Is such a thing even possible?"

These were the students' instinctive gut reactions to Cain's words. After all, one ancient legend wouldn't be able to occur for thousands of years.

Two ancient legends occurring at the same time only seemed like something out of a genuine fairy tale.

How could such a phenomenon possibly have a chance to exist!

But right as everyone had these thoughts swirling around, many suddenly froze, their eyes widening to a ridiculous degree.

A memory suddenly streaked into their minds, forcing them to recall a person that seemingly never left Cain's side.

"Wait-wait! That's right, Senior Brother Cain's sister, Kali! She also scored heaven-defying as well, right? We would be a fool to underestimate her!"

After having their horizons broaden to the extreme, all students knew it would be more than foolish to underestimate again.

The term heaven-defying is simply something not any one of them can understand. Deep within their Martial Hearts, these students recognized this fact. Even the unwilling, discontent ones had no choice other than to accept the reality.

With all this in mind, excitement suddenly surged within them again!

Many have already stopped treating Kali as a mere Nascent Formation Master. But a genuine true genius in the Profound Soul Realm!

"My, I was wondering when you were going to bring her up. That is, your sister, Kali, right?" Alisha asked with her same beautiful smile.

She wasn't surprised in the slightest. Youths with extreme Martial Talents would need to prove themselves in battle. Not only to refine their combat prowess and experience. But to also quell any doubts in their Martial Hearts about their extreme competition between one another.

Even Alisha can recall her youthful days where she would engage in countless adrenaline-pumping fights, leading her to enhance her prowess and discover more about herself.

"Indeed. She's mostly similar to me. No other Early Stage Core student can even come close to matching her." Cain proudly boasted his sister.

His tone overflowed with unwavering confidence, emitting an invisible persuasive aura that made it hard to refute.

Alisha smilingly nodded, saying, "I have no doubts she is a true Martial Talent like you. But it would be best to clear up any fusions. The duel will be decided in just a bit. I'm sure she came with you so she can hop on stage whenever she's ready."

Perfect, without any blemishes, Cain's plan went off without a hitch. And now, it was the final stage of this step.

After this, it would be time to extend their reach far out.

But for now, Cain let anticipation run through him in preparation for Kali's duel. With her fervent cultivation style, she surely will pull out tricks that he might not even be aware of.

No matter how she performed, Cain already felt a sense of pride surging over his dear sister.

….

Because it was someone like Discipline Lord Alisha organizing this duel, the waiting time wasn't long at all.

A few minutes at most passed.

During this short duration, the audience was still jampacked.

One heaven-defying Martial Talent was an unprecedented phenomenon. Two heaven-defying Martial Talent is an unbelievable fairy tale that was about to be birthed into reality!

At this time, Cain was currently by the exit corridor, having a perfect view of the Martial Stage. And unlike Kali, he wasn't alone in his viewing experience.

"Mn, your battle was enough to keep me awake. I wonder if your stuffy sister can keep it up."

Of course, the one talking while latching on to Cain's arms like a snake was Amber. Within her eyes was a vague spark of interest over this fight.

Previously, her crimson eyes seemed to radiant an overflow of light from Cain's duel.

No matter how uninteresting cultivation is to her, Cain certainly knows how to push all the right buttons for her. Amber genuinely felt her blood boiling over how domineering Cain was once again.

And now that it was Kali's turn, the interest had noticeably decreased for obvious reasons.

But, she was willing to give the ice-cold sister a chance to wow her.

"Really, you, of all people, should know not to count Kali out. Hell, with her temperament, she'll be even more vicious than me." Cain spoke with a slight wry tone.

Honestly, he almost feels a pang of sympathy for the poor bastard that'll be facing his vicious sister.

At this time, on the Martial Stage, Kali stood the same fifty feet apart from her foe.

She was currently facing off with another studious-looking young man who could once garner a commanding presence. But when Kali's icy gaze crashed upon this young man, all of his previous momentum shattered.

Cain's presence was unwaveringly firm with a hint of majesticness that was like gazing upon a Royal prince.

While Kali emitted a chill that would feel like death was slowly creeping up your spine.

Her eyes didn't even hold plain indifference. Instead, there was an unmistaken viciousness swirling within the depths of her pupil, showcasing that's she ready to tear whoever in front of her.

"To think Kali's going to face off against Senior Brother Luca! His reputation isn't as high as Senior Brother Edison, but he's not that far off."

"Mn. I even heard that his own Combat Weapon and cultivation manual is off equal grade with Edison's. Just what she will show off…."

Nearly all students have at least the base information for most special Ranking Core students. And still, countless murmurs whispered throughout the entire audience.

Similar to Edison, Luca is a prime Early Stage Profound Soul genius. He may have garnered slightly more losses than Edison, but his prowess isn't anything to look down upon.

And most of the time, when coming on to the Martial stage, Luca's confidence would be shot through the roof.

He would stand proudly tall, keeping his head held high to the heavens, treating all of his opponents with the mindset that he would win.

However, none of that prideful arrogance appeared today.

As of now, Luca's face was the utmost seriousness. His grave expression made it seem like he was facing a mysterious threat that could very well erupt with tremendous power.

'If she really is the same as him, then why the hell do I have to fight? Haah….'

In all honesty, Luca's Martial Heart was already fiercely shaken up. No matter if he's prepared, he'll naturally end up in a similar pathetic state like Edison if Kali's wielded such combat prowess.

The only thing Luca hopes for is that the gods will shine upon him with luck, and he can somehow survive this whole ordeal with his pride intact.

Although, a faint premonition in his heart was desperately telling him otherwise.

The Elder referee only took a single curious glance between both combatants.

Then he announced, "Begin!"

'Bang!'

Immediately, as in within the nanosecond the referee Elder called the match, Luca's Aura explosively rose!

An Azure Energy glow shimmered out of him, shrouding his entire body as he released his Soul Form. His Aura whipped into the wind, causing storms of air to blast around the entire Marital Stage.

In the same instance, Luca traced his spatial ring, bringing out an Early Grade Earthen Rapier Combat weapon! His strength instantly doubled.

Powerful Energy recklessly shot out of him, shocking the audience.

However, before any one of them could react, a cold snort boomed into everyone's ears.

"Tch. I'll end this even quicker than him."

As Kali uttered these domineering words, she stimulated her internal body, completely releasing her Qi, Spirit, Astral, and Darconinc Ice Energy!

'Bang!'

A massively stronger Aura released burst out of Kali's body! Brilliant blue lights covered the air as Kali gained her Draconic Ice Aura.

The once turbulent airflow caused by Luca's Energy abruptly stopped. It was like the whole atmosphere seemed to freeze over.

This was due to a combination of Kali's sheer incredibly dense Energy and the powerful effect of Draconic Ice Energy!

The quadruple combination of all of Kali's Energies all perfectly fused, boosting her strength far beyond that of any average Early Stage Profound Qi Energy!

"This-this, so she really is a genius…."

The sensation of immense Aura suppression was enough for students to realize it. While not as explosively powerful as Cain's, Kali wielded prowess beyond all common sense!

And it was this time that Kali burst forward! A trail of luminous Ice was left in the wake of her speed.

This Ice trail alone can cause any Half-Step Profound Soul expert to freeze if they got close.

"Azure Steps!"

Luca's pupils heavily contracted to the point where they were barely visible. He crazily bellows out, trying to react and cast a powerful movement skill.

His legs brightly shimmered in beautiful Azure Lights as he quickly shot backward.

Just like how attack skills allow one to unleash a move far beyond their standard limit, movement skills give one speed that seemed impossible to catch up to!

Under ordinary circumstances, Luca would be able to easily outspeed any other Early Stage Profound Soul genius.

The most they would be able to catch is just a faint afterimage of him.

However, this speed was still far too slow!

When Luca flashed back twenty feet in one step, Kali easily overtaken him, appearing right in front of his face like a ghost!

Without losing any momentum, Kali surged a long icicle from the center of her palm and violently swung it straight down at Luca's face!

'What?!?' Luca was shocked, horrified, and felt immense pressure.

He had no time to think, only instinctively react, swinging his Earthen Rapier out with all of his strength!

'Peng!'

A screeching metallic sound ranged out.

Instead of sending Luca flying in a frantic collision, Kali's icicle unleashed a torrent of Draconic Ice Energy that engulfed the Earthen Rapier and then rapidly drilled into Luca's arm!

Draconic Ice Energy shredded Luca's protective Profound Aura, ripped into his flesh, and rapidly froze over everything in his arm.

To his bones, tendons, and bloodstream, nothing could stand against Draconinc Ice Energy!

Luca's eyes immensely widened to the point they nearly cracked. His face instantly turned ashen as his lips intensely quivered.

In just one move, his Martial Heart nearly cracked.

He truly realized that Kali is a demonic genius!

"Ah-Ah!! Gale Vortex!!"

Luca's heart nearly stopped when feeling all sensation in his right arm disappeared. He was terrified and could only put forth his final strength, immediately unleashing his Martial Skill!

'Huu~!'

Out from Luca's other palm, Azure Wind energy frantically shot out, causing a powerful whirlwind to kick up. Simultaneously, Azure lights frantically filled the skies.

The Azure Wind energy converged within a fraction of a second, forming into a powerful Azure Vortex!

This was a Martial Skill that could completely entrap a foe, slicing their whole bodies until they're unable to move anymore.

The power behind this skill was immense. Even some Early Stage Core students felt they would have no way to defend against this powerful attack.

But no matter how much Luca's prowess grew, Kali's overwhelming Energy made everything futile.

Unaffected by the Gale Vortex pressure, Kali shot forth her other hand at amazing speed, shredding parts of the Azure Vortex like fragile glass.

Then, gripping her palm down on Luca's shoulder, Kali mightly shouted,

"Qi Release!"

'Chi!!'

"Ahh!!"

Luca's Miserable wails overlapped with brilliant blue lights wildly shooting out into the air.

When Kali clamped down Luca's shoulder, she released a compressed storm of Draconic Ice Energy straight into his internal body!

In this instance, Luca's Qi Veins immediately froze, sealing away all of his strength. The Ice didn't just stop there, rapidly encasing Luca in an entire block of Ice, stopping only just below his chin.

The freezing pain was hellish!

Luca genuinely thought he would perish within just moments. But before he passed onto another life, Kali snapped her finger.

'Ca!'

The Draconic Ice instantly shattered, freeing Luca's body.

Though free, Luca couldn't even stand. His body crashed into the ground, convulsing from the remnants of bone piercing Ice Energy.

And as the dust of battle settled, the entire Martial Arena fell into another suffocating silence.
