The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 137 - 137 You two remain

137 You two remain

Cain spent the next two weeks wholly committed to his cultivation. He focused on three main factors, his Fiend Devourer Cultivation Technique, the Blood Refinement Art, and his Hypnosis Master training.

His Wave Cultivation was the most important since it was the core of his battle strength and had an essential role in everything else. The higher his cultivation, the easier it would be to train the Blood Refinement Art. It would also improve his willpower, enhancing his Ego Eternal Path of Power and Hypnosis Master’s skills.

Although the Blood Refinement Art was just an auxiliary technique, and his cultivation base limited its growth, it was fundamental in allowing his body to show all of Cain’s abilities. Without the body enhancement granted by the art, Cain’s body could not endure a 2000% Wave Burst or its Asura Form.

The Hypnosis Master Path was extremely helpful as it allowed Cain to weaponize his Ego Eternal Path of Power while at the First Realm. Usually, Elementary Hypnosis Masters did not use it during battles, as they were all Wave Champions, but Cain was special.

Cain was actually interested in the Hypnosis Master’s specialization of Illusion Master. However, according to Zarak’s crystal card, it was better to become a 4-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master before thinking of that since he had to focus on his foundation at the beginning.

Cain consumed wave crystals and Dragon Blood Grass very fast. He showed no reservation since they not only improved his cultivation speed but also helped his foundation. There were endless ways to get more money, but that was not the case with time.

There was no time to rest, and Cain never deviated from his task. He was not a machine, and the boredom and monotony of cultivation affected him, but as someone at the First Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power, he could push away those feelings.

Whenever he felt that tedium and solitude were too much, he only needed to focus on his space ring and remember the coffin in it. Knowing that everything would have been different if he had been stronger was all the motivation Cain needed to keep training.

The night before the courses began, Cain decided to take a break from his training and rest properly. He would allow his body and brain to relax and not just enter a state of semi-unconsciousness while he kept cultivating.

.....

Before going to bed, Cain sent a command to the Absolute Life Form System.

‘System, scan me.’

It was not long before a virtual screen appeared in Cain’s sight.

Cain could not contain his thrill as he saw his agility and vitality cross into the 1-point realm while still being a Level 3 Wave Warrior. Although by the amount of Astral Wave inside his body, it would not take long before he finally crossed into Level 4.

The fact that his marrow washing completion did not increase did not affect Cain since he knew that it usually occurred during cultivation breakthroughs. He was sure that during his advance to Level 4, he would experience it again.

Of all the data the Absolute Life From System showed to Cain, only one point did not make him very happy.

“Apex, can my bloodline improve more?”

One of the reasons for his impressive cultivation was his Lightning Lupus Bloodline, which had improved more than once. If there were a way to raise it even higher, he would pursue it.

“Sorry to disappoint you, brat, but your bloodline is already at its peak. Its purity was low initially, but the B-Grade Blood Serum fixed that.

You should not expect any more from the Lightning Lupus Bloodline. After all, Lightning Lupus are Wave Beasts that reach the Peak Wave Champion upon maturity, and very few manage to cross to the next level.

Instead of trying to improve it, which will be futile, you should try to acquire a new bloodline.”

When he heard Apex’s suggestion, Cain did not know whether to laugh or cry. Obtaining a new bloodline was not impossible, but it was incredibly hard.

For your body to assimilate a new bloodline and truly ingrain it, you needed more than just the blood of a powerful Wave Beast. You needed a technique that would allow you to fuse that bloodline into your genes.

And since Cain already had the Lightning Lupus Lineage, he needed a stronger bloodline than the Lightning Lupus Bloodline. If he obtained a weaker one, it would just remain dormant inside his body.

Cain thought that even for someone with the power of Zarak, it would be hard to get a bloodline stronger than the Lightning Lupus Bloodline, along with the technique to ingrain it into his genes.

“It is fine. I can improve my Wave Talent by improving my foundation and marrow washing. Besides, I can also enhance my cultivation speed by using high-level resources such as wave crystals.”

If the chance to obtain a new bloodline presented itself, Cain would use all his power to take it, but he was not to worry about it.

All in all, Cain was delighted with his achievements. He went to sleep and woke up one hour before the class began.

After eating a small meal and bowing to his father’s altar, he flashed toward the auditorium. It was the same place where he took the rest of his classes during the first half of the year.

When Cain entered the auditorium, he was surprised to see the number of cadets in it. He initially thought that due to the price of the Assassination Military Specialization, the place would be almost empty, but more than fifty cadets were present.

Although Cain was surprised by the number of cadets, those in the auditorium were astonished by his presence here. His physical power was already at the highest peak among the cadets, and he now wanted to become an assassin. Wasn’t that like adding wings to a T-Rex?

Cain noticed some familiar faces among the cadets, like Zamir, but he did not pay too much attention and went to his usual seat.

The cadets began to speak among themselves as they looked at Cain. Some wanted to get close to him, but he did not show a friendly attitude.

‘I wonder how many of them will remain after the test.’

Unlike Professions courses, where you will secure your place after paying the fee, for Military Specialization, you also need to pass an exam to prove your abilities.

Cain glanced at the seats around him, and a flash of immense sadness appeared in his eyes as he remembered the woman that used to sit by his side.

Suddenly, all of Beelze’s memories vanished from Cain’s mind as his instincts began to scream like crazy. A feeling of absolute doom assaulted him as he felt the threat of death even closer than when he faced the Atrox Wave Champion.

Cain always had the [Basic Scan Force Field] activated, and it sent no warning.

Still, he trusted his instincts, and his eyes burst with red light as he used the full power of his Ego Wave and Astral Wave.

“?AHHHHH!”

The cadets were shocked by Cain’s shout and saw how this one unleashed a powerful aura while triggering his Wave Armor bathed in lightning arcs.

[Warning: An individual entered the Basic Scan Force Field range. He is at eight o’clock]

Cain almost shouted in rage at the late warning, but at least he now knew the enemy’s direction. He focused all his strength on his legs and jumped to the roof.

The chair he was using broke due to his body’s momentum, and once he touched the ceiling, he ricocheted, dashing toward a corner of the auditorium.

Whoever entered the range of his [Basic Scan Force Field] was extremely fast, so running would be futile. That is why he chose to put himself in a position where he could see whoever came at him.

The rest of the cadets in the auditorium were extremely confused by Cain’s reaction. Many wondered if there was a hidden enemy, but they did not detect anything.

Some began to think that something was wrong with Cain until they saw another cadet react as if death was coming to get her.

The cadet’s name was Orin, and she was in the same class as Cain and Zamir. She was quiet, and since neither her talent nor cultivation was impressive, people did not show much interest in her.

However, she surprised everybody as her Essence Wave exploded with a blinding light, and the power surpassed Level 3. She was a Level 4 Wave Warrior, and by the density of her Wave, she had reached that level a while ago.

Orin showed no interest at all in the reaction of the other cadets as she flashed to another corner of the room with a speed that matched Cain’s.

Cain was surprised to see the woman’s speed matched his. He had no time to trigger his Asura From, but even without it, his speed reached Level 5.

While the woman drove his attention, Cain could not allow himself to split his focus as he was still looking for the source of the danger.

By now, all the cadets were looking around for the threat. One person could be a mistake, but there was no way two would act like that without reason.

Luckily, they did not have to look for long as a blonde man appeared out of nowhere behind the podium.

He glanced at Cain and Orin before nodding softly.

“You two can remain. The others, leave!”
