Standing in front of the beast totem pole with hundreds of prying eyes intently locked on him, Cain felt a new feeling he had never experienced before.
His mind went a bit unfocused, basking in this new sensation.
For a brief mont, nobody else mattered.
Cain closed his eyes to truly heighten this new sensation. This was different from regular happiness, pride, or satisfaction. It felt like a combination of all those things.
Being admired and achieving hostility out of pure envy, only special people can truly obtain this.
After only a split second, Cain knew what this different, overly joyous sensation was.
'So this is how to feel to be admired by hundreds, huh? It really feels like I'm standing high in the clouds. No wonder….no wonder everyone wants to achieve this kind of fa. This shit is like addictive dopamine.'
Unknowingly, a slight smile cracked onto Cain's face. All these surrounding conversations about his peak Sky Ruler Talent was increasingly fueling an ego he never thought was too important.
As his main goal is just to live a free life no matter what, Cain didn't put too much thought into his ego, pride, or basking in the lilight.
For sure, the Draconic blood within him built him to be confident and never back down from any challenge.
But to an overwhelming point like Kali?
Cain at least thought he wouldn't go so far. However, under this light, he could already feel changes in his mind occur.
Along with wanting to obtain freedom, perhaps it wouldn't be bad at all to beco a revere, famous genius.
Whenever Kali ntioned about crushing geniuses, he always just put it as her specific quirk.
But now, he was seriously considering joining in on this fun. So in a way, this is also contributing to living his best life.
Why the need to be lowkey all of the ti?
There are undoubtedly situations where it is absolutely needed to keep their lives. But when they have a road to stretch themselves without any consequences, there's no need to hold that much back.
'Heh, still rather not show unearthly god talent. That will be too much.' Cain's musing led to a new budding thought to thrive in his mind.
And at this mont, he heard a slightly stiff-sounding voice call out to him.
"You….and her….it appears you two know each other, no? Would you please tell you two nas?" Elder Mo couldn't take it anymore.
For the first ti since who knows how many years, he genuinely wanted the nas of two juniors. Two juniors who also seemingly have no background to speak off.
For a highly respectable Elder of the Crimson Sea Academy, this was an unthinkable move!
How could any almighty Senior lower themselves for any junior?
This would've been students' and examinees' thoughts if they heard Elder Mo correctly.
Luckily for Cain, all of these youths were too engrossed with his peak Sky Ruler Talent.
Although, this didn't an Cain didn't get suspicious himself. His eyes cracked back open, showcasing a calm expression towards Elder Mo's question.
But internally, he was wracking his mind.
When referring to Sky Ruler talent, Cain read that it is indeed a ranking of an extre Martial genius.
Many could potentially arrive at the Innate Lord Realm through various highly expensive ans. Many others could simply have the Martial Talent for it.
But wanting to break past the Innate Lord realm into Sky Ruler?
This number gets cuts down significantly.
Cultivators who can even make it to the Sky Ruler realm wields power that seems mind-breaking to any Innate Lord.
Even the domineering Azure Lightning Sect places the utmost importance on Sky Ruler talent. The next realm after Sky Ruler is Sage Core, and the difficulty to reach that realm is even far higher.
Considering all of this, Sky Ruler talent is indeed quite a trendous achievent.
But for it to be to so high to make it even almighty Elder bow down to ask his and Kali's na so politely?
It seems a bit unlikely. Mainly because of the fact that Kali had the sa result, yet Elder Mo didn't bother asking her na.
So why the sudden apparent interest now?
'Could he possibly sensed sothing more my aura?' Cain held his guard up. But he didn't dare to make any suspicious move that'll certainly land him into a bigger ss.
Keeping his neutral expression, Cain said, "My na is Cain Senior. And the previous girl is my sister, her na is Kali."
"I see…." Elder Mo nodded rather stiffly. "Well then, as with her, your achievent as well is highly unprecedented. You certainly have a promising future here."
"Thank you for the praise, Senior."
Cain's words ca out as smooth as butter. He gave a respectable bow while keeping his expressions devoid of any overt arrogance or pride.
In terms of respect, Cain considered Elder Mo of it since he reached so powerful realm far above his.
And playing the calm type, not showing too much pride, works in virtually any type of world.
After all, who actually wants to deal with soone who has pride oozing from their veins? That type of person is simply obnoxious to the highest order.
Even Zhao Tan, a prideful genius from a High-Class level family, doesn't have that type of disgusting pride.
After giving his slight bow of respect, Cain walked over to Kali. As he strolled over, he could feel everyone's eyes take in his every mont.
Cain even felt more hostile stares bore a hole into him.
But no matter who stared, Cain never lost his stride. Despite this being his first ti being in such huge lilight, no nervousness wracked his mind.
It all ca incredibly naturally to him. Almost as if he was built for this kind of grand attention.
Right as Cain got close to Kali, he suddenly felt his twitch in amusent. This proud little girl decided to cutely spread her arms open wide in a grand welcoming gesture.
"Ah! Of course, you can rise even slightly more hell in the crowd than I, Cain. With this, we already have one solid foot into this door." Kali energetically spoke with a face full of smiles.
Her Dragon Pride always trembles with excitent seeing her brother beco incredibly dazzling. Even if she felt a brief and vague prickling, he quickly squashed it down to focus on her dear brother.
"Indeed we do…." Cain tossed his eyes around for a split second, noticing all other examinees, but one gave them a wide breadth.
"And let's keep this montum rolling."
After saying so, Cain smoothly lined up right next to Kali.
Two peak Sky Ruler talent side by side with each other. Moreover, these two obviously had deep relations to each other going by their interactions.
As the examinees witnessed this, a tightening feeling clutched down on their throats. This was the sensation of absolute disparity.
All just from the beast totem pole, many realized these two youths would spring onto an entirely different world from them.
Even the outer and Inner ranked Crimson Sea Academy students felt absolute trepidation from the sibling duo. These two aren't characters that will be content with staying down under.
"Seriously….just who are these two?"
At this mont, they all realize profound changes will happen within their Crimson Sea Academy very soon.
Admits all of the praise and awe; there was several people opposing this point of view.
And one of them was Zhao Tan. He never moved an inch from his original spot. His eyes seemingly spewed fire as he bore burning holes within Cain and Kali's tall back.
For a brief mont, the sibling duo seed even taller than what they actually are.
But even so, Zhao Tan practically spat out to them, "Tch, don't go and get all conceited. After all, Martial Talent isn't directly equal to true strength. Who knows? Maybe on the field, you're only just slightly above average. How can re nobodies compare to the prestige of any class level background? More than likely, you're just for show. On the field, true combat is what matters most on the Martial Road!"
Surprised gasps were heard all around after Zhao Tan finished speaking.
"Suu! Zhao Tan already bearing his fangs!"
As the surrounding examinees witnessed this, they all sucked in a cold breath. To face the pressure of a high-class level family talent, none of them could even dream about it!
Every word Zhao Tan spoke was essentially attempting to dismiss everything about the sibling duo's high montum.
After all, how could he possibly accept so nobodies having higher talent than a distinguished high-class background!
Zhao Tan even started to cruelly smirk, feeling a bit cathartic to vent out his smoldering hostility. He was confident in his own strength. Despite the cold feeling from Cain's Nascent Qi, he absolutely didn't believe he'd lose to him.
Right then, Zhao Tan was about to continue blatant provocation.
But before he could, Kali suddenly snapped her attention straight onto him.
The movent of her head was fast….too fast!
It was like she was a hawk, snapping onto its prey, ready to crush it beneath her.
"Yo-you…." Zhao Tan felt his spit choke in his mouth. Everything about Kali raised his instincts to frantically kick and scream!
The way she so unnaturally moved her head, that seemingly sweet smiling expression and dangerously sharp eyes.
Is this really just so no-na young girl?
It was like a wolf in beautiful sheep clothing!
In that instance, Zhao Tan felt everything around him turn eerily quiet. It is only him and this 'innocence' looking girl.
Unknowingly, sweat made Zhao Tan's palm unnaturally wet. He stayed rigidly rooting, not knowing how to react at all.
And just when it seed like Kali was about to lunge at her prey, she suddenly snapped back forward.
And imdiately upon doing so, the surrounding noise loudly bood into Zhao Tan's ears.
'That-that! What the hell was that?!'
Zhao Tan felt his body shivered like it was placed in the depths of a frozen hell. Roaming his eyes around, nobody else even seed to notice!
Intimidated by a re fifth-level brat?
'This-this fucking bitch!!' Zhao Tan was at his utmost boiling point. His eyes nearly turned scarlet in rage. Never in his life had he felt so humiliated by a damn re gaze!
But at the sa ti, Zhao Tan didn't dare to say anything else out. Instead, he kept silent, plotting the ways to teach an arrogant bitch a lesson at the end of this exam.
Seemingly during that entire exchange, nobody else noticed.
But of course, Cain felt it and only wryly smiled about it.
And surprisingly, Elder Mo caught whiffed of sothing unnaturally odd within Kali. Even as the exam continued to on, his eyes paid close attention to Cain and Kali.
'Those two….I don't know how to describe them at all. The girl Kali seems to be the aggressor type. But that boy Cain….I need to inform the other Elders..' At that mont, Elder Mo made a decisive decision.
