Chapter 97: Morning Training

In no time at all, Cain got himself ready and met up with Kali. 

As they had already discussed it previously, the sibling duo promptly headed down towards the training hall, using Lei Li's route.

As they arrived at the training hall, Lei Li had coincidentally run into them. 

When she looked at the sibling duo, pure shock was plastered all over Lei Li's face. 

Because Cain had noticed and nodded at her, this prompted Lei Li to slowly stroll over to them. 

As they entered the training hall, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. 

"Seriously….the amount of noise you two can cause is staggering. Just how? How did you complete that mission?" Lei Li asked in a near disbelief tone. 

It was impossible to not hear about the chaos of Cain and Kali's completed mission. The addition of Senior Sister Hiyashi being with them only further fan their news like a great boiling fire. 

As she heard the news, Lei li felt incredibly strange. She didn't think it would be possible but did her faint premonition actually come true?

It was only a fleeting feeling that should've had zero effect. And yet, Cain and Kali truly did perform a miracle. 

"We have our methods for completing our tasks. Besides, it should be pretty obvious to you, right?"

Cain kept his eyes searching the various Training Realms as he spoke, not once turning back to Lei Li. He didn't notice the slight tremor shivering through Lei Li's body from his words.

Unlike the other common students here, Lei Li did gain a glimpse of Cain and Kali's heaven-defying means. 

Their extended time in the Storm Tunnel spoke volumes to her. They treated that place as something so causal like it had no difficulties at all. 

And it was then that it struck Lei Li. Her eyes brightened even more as she stared into Cain's indifferent face.

These two could already perform feats that outshine those in the Profound Soul Realm! Wanting to beat a special ninth-level Vicious Beast, wouldn't that also be incredibly simple for them?

These two really can't be counted with even standard genius logic. 

In the end, Lei Li just had to shake her head at all these thoughts. Calming her mental state, she sighed as she said,

"Right-right. You two sure are mysterious alright. But I won't pry any further. I have a feeling it will get even more ridiculous. So? Are you two going in the Storm Tunnel again?"

Hearing Lei Li's question, Cain still didn't look over to her. He was in the middle of pondering over his most effective method until his eyes landed on a specific person. 

Currently, as it's quite early in the morning, the Training Hall wasn't packed with students. 

Like him and Kali, the only ones there are the ones who have rigorous training regimes.

Students where, no matter their talent, push themselves to the extreme every day. 

Thinking of this, it was especially mind-boggling to see this person here. 

Nobody noticed this person as they covered up their whole form by wearing an oversized black robe hoodie over their uniform. Furthermore, their Natural Aura was slightly more reclusive than others. 

You wouldn't think this person was some unique person at first glance. 

But for Cain, this didn't apply at all. His Spirit Sense is highly sensitive, being able to detect the smallest of changes in an environment. This also extends to people's Natural Aura. 

And this hooded robe person wasn't ordinary, far from it.

Cain managed to perceive that this was Amber! That beyond lazy girl is actually at the Training Hall bright early in the morning?

Yesterday, she mentioned that she usually lays around at her house. Yet now, she's actually here, as if she was a determined student. 

How could Cain not be slightly suspicious over this? Although, how Amber acted was quite odd to Cain.

Amber stood leaning next to the Lightning Ravine Training Room entrance, crossing her arms into her sleeves, seemingly getting very comfortable. Her head slightly drooped to the floor as if she was taking a nap.

Since Cain arrived at the Training Hall, Amber stayed in this position like a statue. It really did seem like she simply fell asleep. 

However, when Cain had finally swept his Spirit Sense over her, Amber almost instantly reacted.

Although, she reacted in a way Cain would only expect from her. 

Cain watched on as Amber slowly lifted her head, taking all the time in the world. It looked similar to rising from a particularly restful slumber.

Then, in just a few moments, Amber locked her gaze with Cain. 

In this instance, they both stayed locked on to each other. All noise from the surrounding crowd seemed to have died out.

Before Cain could make heads or tails of this, Amber suddenly picked herself off from the wall and gave a slight wave with her robe. Afterward, she didn't waste a moment, quickly going into the Lightning Ravine Training Realm. 

Seeing her go in, Cain paused for only a moment before making up his mind. He shifted his attention over to Kail, telling her, 

"I think we should focus on our Element today. I'll be going into the Lightning Ravine."

"Hm?" Kali merely quirked an eyebrow. She kept her expression neutral, but amusement was bubbling within her. 

Without Cain even noticing it, she did witness that brief staring contest held between him and Amber.

Initially, Kali too ignored that hooded robe person. But after that staring contest, her mind instantly connected the dots. 

"Well then. I suppose I'll be going to the Misty Waterfall." Kali causally shrugged.

With their goals made up, Cain headed into the Lightning Ravine Realm while Kali made her trek towards the Misty Waterfall Realm

At the same time, Lei Li was nearly left behind at how sudden their decision was. In her shock, she hastily chose to follow in with Kali.

….

Entering into Lightning Ravine Training Realm, Cain felt his sense of space violently shift. The force wracking his body immediately got his attention. 

It was far more destructive than the Storm Tunnel space shift!

The force in the Lightning Ravine made him feel like it was trying to split apart his body before even coming in here! 

This was certainly an intriguing way to start a new Training Realm.

But Cain didn't panic. He simply stimulated his Qi Sea, gathering Lightning Energy from his Lightning Spark. As Lightning Energy flowed through his body like water, the great tearing force gradually lessened.

After only a few moments, the tearing force disappeared. And Cain appeared in a new area. 

Before Cain could open his eyes, the booming sound of thunderous Lightning drilled into his ears.

Sounds of chilling Lightning strikes were all around Cain. And with each Lightning strike, a violent force recklessly spread out in the entire area, covering all students training here.

"Mn?" Cain furrowed his brows, immediately feeling a burning sting drill into his body. 

Even though he revolved a portion of his Lightning Spark, the Lightning Energy Force could still affect him this much.

It was especially telling to Cain, considering his Lightning Draconic Arts gives him an innate resistance to all manner of Lightning Energy. 

Pulling out more Lightning Energy to lessen the burning sting, Cain then swung his eyes open.

His vision cleared to an scenery that was beautiful but also highly chaotic. 

The Ravine here was of a luminous blue shine. Several streams split open the massive Ravine, and a sparkling crystal blue glow shimmered out of each stream.

This portion on its own was breathtaking to stare at. 

But combining with the beauty of the Ravine was the unending amount of powerful Lightning Strikes pouring down from the uniquely blue colored clouds.

Each Lightning Strike tore open the earth, blasting away chunks of the ground, recklessly shooting all debris in a chaotic manner. 

As Cain noticed these Lightning Strike, he could admit it was a spectacle to behold.

The Lightning Strikes looked they were being sent down from the Heavens by a furious Lightning God. Getting hit by any one of these Lightning Strike would bring about a disaster average students wouldn't be able to recover from.

Briefly extending his Spirit Sense out, Cain wasn't surprised to detect a more significant lack of students here. 

Arguably, Lightning Energy is the most dangerous Elemental Energy to control. Compared to other Elemental Energy, it was far easier to ruin yourself because of the incredibly destructive properties of Lightning Energy. 

Crimson Sea Academy students may be determined, but they weren't foolish.

Unless one is a rare Lightning-attributed cultivator, barely anyone would dare to come here. The thought that one can lose everything in just an instant was far too terrifying. 

The risks here heavily outweighed the rewards. 

Of course, for people like Cain, their rewards heavily outweighed the risks. Greater control of Lightning Energy would have an excellent edge in any type of combat situation.

Lightning Energy is known for its high attacking power, speed, and stunning effects. As a result, most students would even feel an innate fear towards facing a powerful Lightning-attributed cultivator.

The strength difference could be so incredibly massive that it would seem like it's impossible to counter. 

"Hmm….now where is…." 

Cain was currently searching around for Amber. It was a bit difficult because of the disturbance of Lightning Force energy. 

But within moments, he quickly identified her special Natural Aura. 

Cain snapped his attention up and over to see Amber casually sitting at the edge of a tall Ravine cliff.

As they locked gazes, Amber rolled down her sleeves, showcasing her small, slender fingers. She teasingly pointed to Cain and prompted him by making a 'come hither' gesture.

Even with her face covered up, Cain could just envision that soft, teasing smile curling her beautiful lips.
