The Chaos Dragon Prince

Kali's annoyance only incites the longer Tyson was in her presence. 

She already intently dislike anything that has to do with Leon Vegas. And she thought nothing of this Fan Fu, thinking it was just some student genius. Her face gradually grew colder.

"Fan Fu?" 

Cain, however, felt slight curiosity. During his training session, he had also taken the time to learn more about the Academy. 

Mainly, he was searching for future targets that would be perfect for their plans. And he couldn't go long without encountering Fan Fu's name. 

Recalling the little bit he knows about this person, this was a student whose status isn't anyway inferior to Amber.

He could be considered a bit important to them, at least. 

This is why Cain's expression shifted just slightly as he began recalling. And Tyson quickly picked up on this subtle shift of expression. 

However, his thoughts were entirely different from Cain's. 

Tyson believed Kali was simply ignorant while Cain was fully aware of the incomparable might Fan Fu.

As it was his task to clear up the air, Tyson decided to properly inform these two on just the significance of this meeting. He said, "Indeed. It is as you're thinking. Senior Brother Fan Fu, the second-ranked genius of our entire Academy, is sending this gift. Fan Fu is an incredibly open-minded and wise genius. If he wants to form connections, there absolutely won't be any negatives from doing so."

Without waiting for their reaction, Tyson reached into his pocket and took out an brightly shining contact ring. 

Handing the contact ring over to Cain, he said, "Please, take it. Senior Brother Fan Fu is a bit busy at this time, but he would be more delighted to meet with you."

Cain casually inspected the contact ring. Upon doing so, his reaction didn't change the slightest externally. 

But internally, a cold sensation was birthed within his heart. 

His Soul and Spirit detected something very intriguing about this contact ring.

'Wanting to play around, huh?' 

Cain's thoughts turned a bit dark. However, now wasn't the time to make a scene. For now, the second-ranked student was out of his reach. And Cain has the patience to craftily bide his time.

"Alright then. We'll accept this peace offering." Cain indifferently smiled and took the contact ring. 

Tyson gave the sibling duo one last look over, his eyes showcasing nothing but simple indifference. He then courtly nodded before heading off in a different direction. 

"Hmph. At least that guy wasn't an annoyance to the point of wanting to smash his skull in. So? Are you going to keep that ring?"

Kali asked as she directed her gaze towards the contact ring. Nothing suspicious jumped out to her when inspecting the ring. She thought it was just a worthless novelty.

After all, why should they care about some supposedly powerful Mortal genius? 

He is just another inevitable stepping stone that'll get ruthlessly crushed to bits.

"Well… .it's a bit interesting. Let's discuss more inside." Cain spoke with a slightly serious tone. 

With this tone, Kali instantly knew it wasn't the time for her usual arrogance.  She solemnly nodded and quietly followed behind Cain. 

After a short while of walking, the sibling duo enters Cain's house. Cain and Kali quickly went inside the study area and gathered around the table.

Cain then placed the contact ring upon it, and his expression turned ice-cold. 

"This supposed contact ring actually has some different form of energy within it. I felt my Soul Sense stimulate upon first inspecting it."

"What? Really?" Kali curled her brows. 

She quickly swept her Spirit Sense again, this time explicitly focusing all of her concentration. However, no matter how concentrated she was, no other energy entered into her Spirit Sense.

As Kali attempted to find the different energy signatures, Cain linked his Soul Energy to his Chaotic Emerald. 

The instant he touched upon the Emerald's Chaos Energy, his Soul Sense greatly enhanced.

This was another useful ability hidden within Chaos Energy. As long as he doesn't use any teleportation energy, Cain could enhance his Spirit Sense by several times more than his regular Spirit Sense.

Of course, he can't regularly use this out in the field as they may be a chance the aura of Chaos Energy leaks out from him. Plus, this process was a bit slower than simply using his Spirit Sense.

But in this situation, his Chaos enhanced Soul Sense is perfect. 

Promptly, Cain focused his entire Soul Sense into the contact ring. Now, he could easily identify the second energy source within it.

In that instance, he slowly perceived this energy source. The sensation from it was strange. It felt like this energy source was linked back towards an original source as if it was a….tracker!

Whatever this energy source's original link is, the person on the other end can be aware of their every move through this link! 

In a sense, Cain and Kali were just planted with something similar to an energy bug.

A mix of Killing Intent and intrigue bubbled within Cain's mind. 

He undoubtedly hated to be schemed on like this. Especially as it was someone he hadn't even seen face to face.

But to be able to create an energy source like this was no cultivator ability. Cain's Chas enhanced Soul Sense perceived this energy source had qualities of Spirit Energy mixed within it!

'So, this Fan Fu person has the funds for a World Spirit Master helps? Or could it be that he's working closely with that Vegas Family? Either way, nothing they have will work on us.'

Cain concluded while recalling his Chaos enhanced Soul Sense. As he did so, he shot Kali a look, showcasing a slightly frightening expression. 

"You don't have to continue to search. My Soul Sense detected that the second energy source is connected to a source link far away from us. So basically, we got planted with a tracking device."

"Oh? Is that so?" Instead of being shocked, Kali's lips curled into a cold smile. "So, what should we do with this? I don't take kindly to the idea of being sneakily tracked. These Mortals seem to think they could just do whatever they want."

"As tempting as confrontation is, we'll hold off for now. Somehow this Fan Fu guy has the means to enlist a World Spirit Force Master help. I sensed the qualities of Spirit Energy within that Energy Force. And even barring that, his prowess is far beyond what we can reasonably handle."

"Tch. Limited by low cultivation again, huh?" Kali's face slightly dropped with some disappointment. "Hah~. Since we can't bash some heads in, should we just ignore this and continue training?"

Before responding, Cain pointed to the contact ring, releasing a small stream of Chaos Energy from his fingertip. 

The Chaos Energy thoroughly covered the Spatial Ring, cutting off all connections to that original source link.

Spirit Energy is just as powerful as Qi Energy. And in some cases, far more versatile. But against the power of Chaos Energy, it was nothing but fragile glass. 

The second energy source was covered in a mere instant.

This will prolong their time as Fan Fu won't notice his source link was cut off for quite some time. 

And by the time he did, Cain was sure he would have no idea what was causing it.

By this time he gets some faint idea about it; Cain was also sure he and Kali's cultivation would be sufficient for their plans' next stage. 

Once making sure the contact ring was useless, Cain then said, "Now this ring won't bother us. With this done, let's simply return back to training. We can't confront Fan Fu as of now; it won't lead to any great results. In due time, we'll handle him appropriately."

"Hmph. I suppose that little snake can count his lucky days for now. Alright. Let's finish these next several days with our foundation, Spirit and Astral Energy. With enough practice, I'm sure we'll be able to roll peak Nascents beneath our feet." The fire within Kali's eyes burned even brighter. 

Then without waiting any longer, Cain and Kali prepared for a small routine of training. 

…. 

Several days flew by within the blink of an eye.

During this time, Cain was making significant progress on all fronts besides his base cultivation. 

From cultivating in the Lightning Ravine, he made great steps towards the peak Initial Stage of his Lightning Draconic Arts.

His Lightning Energy strength was enhanced a couple of times, slightly promoting his combat strength. 

From cultivating in the Storm Tunnel, Cain was rapidly approaching the limit his body could absorb Astral Energy without an Astral Core.

His Spiritual Core didn't receive too much of an enchantment. But Cain did perceive that he was taking small steps towards the Second Class of Spirit Energy. 

As for his cultivation, he reached the peak of the sixth level before reaching the seventh level of the Nascent Formation realm.

Everything about his cultivation, to his Qi, Aura, and foundation, they all increased several times in their density. 

With his current prowess, Cain was sure he could easily crush that Demonic Golden Wolf without his Draconic Lightning Aura.

Kali as well had similar incredible rates of progress. Her Astral, Spirit, and cultivation all improved. By now, she was at the sixth level of the Nascent Formation realm. 

And on this day, after making several steps of progress, Cain had a specific plan just for today. 

He was currently meditating in his training room as per usual in the morning when this plan was formulated in his mind.

'By now, our reputation should be spread around enogh where any regular citizen or lower organization won't dare to mess with us. Alright, it's time to check out some valuable spots within this city.'

Before Cain could think further on this, he detected Kali and Amber coming towards his house. Either of them coming wasn't strange. 

Kali does it as part of her morning routine.

And Amber always does things at her own pace. 

What was odd was that they were both coming together. In these past several days, this never once happened. 

Immediately Cain could feel something amusing was about to go down.
