The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 207 - Artifacts Relics



Before coming to the Spirit Annual Exchange event, the trio learned all the guidelines from Bellax. 

And compared to highly complex Martial Meetings, the Spirit Annual Exchange event was incredibly streamlined.

The first round of the event consisted of groups of World Spirit Masters coming onto the Spirit stone platform and exercising their Spirit energy control to an extreme degree.

Every group of World Spirit Master that goes will experience something a bit different. But the foundation of each test will come from a 3rd Class World Spirit Master!

And just what was a 3rd Class World Spirit Master? This was an existence on the level and far superior to all other Sage Core powerhouses! The incomparable might they wield simply can't be contested against.

Furthermore, their Spirit energy perception is at an unfathomable degree. The profound Spirit traits they learned would be immensely complex and near impossible to figure out.

This is why only a few dozens actually pass out of the hundreds of World Spirit Master participating. These few dozens of World Spirit Masters achieved Spirit perception that extends beyond their Class levels.

Their Spiritual Road will be incomparably smooth for the following few Class levels. 

As for the second and last test, this was a simple show of one's Spirit Art. This is also a test of extreme control.

Because of how challenging it is to comprehend a Spirit Art, it can be called a miracle when a younger World Spirit Master can fully display a Spirit Art. This would mean that the World Spirit Masters also know how to utilize their Spirit energy to can precise degree.

How the results are calculated between each round varies. But one thing that is for sure is that the better your Spirit perception, the farther will you advance in this event.

And the highest position not only grants resources but potential business connections. 

When considering all of this, Cain slowly said, "Indeed, we won't bother with business connections. But, we won't close all avenues. You never know; there may be something that can even tempt us."

"Heh. I highly doubt that. You know, I never bothered to ask Bellax, but just what special items could possibly tempt these World Spirit Masters? Their standards seemed quite untouchable."

Kali dismissively shrugged. Both she and Cain didn't make any honest attempt to really learn anything about the trade exchange here. 

Partly because Bellax basically takes care of all of their Spirit duties. Another part because they didn't believe more resources would be necessary to them. 

Unless it was a resource that could significantly improve their foundation in Qi, Astral, or Spirit, the sibling duo didn't see it as worth it.

And even at this point, Crimson Sea Academy still hasn't provided them with anything to help their foundations. So, Kali and even Cain assumed it to be impossible. 

In fact, the only reason Cain would bother with business dealing is to just experience the general feel for it. As in the future, he will undoubtedly deal with all other kinds of trade when he inevitably hits the roadblock for resources. Better to get used to it now than lock up at a critical moment.

But, while the sibling's thoughts aligned with each other, Amber had her own share of opinions. 

Her mind suddenly recalled something thought to be useless long ago, and she jumped into the conversation.

"You know, that's not entirely true, you know. I suppose Alisha didn't tell you guys about the Artifacts Relics Martial Sects and Class-level Families have?" 

"Artifacts Relics?" Cain and Kali curled their brows.

They swiftly sorted through everything they knew but didn't find anything remotely similar to that term. 

Out of the books they read, the only thing that sounded close to it was Spirit Artifacts. But that was evidently different.

Cain slowly shook his head while Kali begrudgingly shook her.

Seeing it was her time to shine again, Amber brightly smiled. "Well, you see, Artifacts Relics are all Magical Tools left behind our very ancient ancestors. Spirit Artifacts are mainly for combat and or cultivation. But Artifacts Relics all have extremely peculiar abilities that are supposedly immensely beneficial to both the Martial and Spiritual Roads. And the only way we can activate these Artifacts Relics is for us World Spirit Masters to work their magic. Out of all things that can be offered, I read that Artifacts Relics are one of the top priority."

"I see…so, what about your Family?" Cain curiously asked. 

"Oh, for sure, we Vampires have Artifact Relics. Though, I have no clue what its uses are. But assuredly, even down to the weakest of Martial Sects and poorest Low-Class level Family, they all have Artifact Relics."

Cain and Kali were silent as they took in this information. Within moments, they found it to make sense. 

If things like cultivation manuals, weapons, or other Spirit Artifacts can be passed along for thousands of years, it's reasonable to say Artifact Relics can as well.

Plus, with how the ancient era is seen as the Golden Age of everything, these Artifact Relics can turn out to be outstanding even for God Galaxies cultivators. 

For sure, Cain and Kali felt their intrigue rise.

But before either could continue this discussion, Cain, Kali, and Amber suddenly the token in their pockets quiver with Spirit energy. 

Simultaneously, they took out a small token that was glowing a faint green Spirit energy glow.

They were given this token before reaching this stage, and now that it was glowing up, it meant only one thing. 

"Hm? I didn't even notice the others were done. No matter, it's our turn!" Kali felt her competitive spirit rise as her smile grew to a monstrous size. 

Fighting would always take top priority for the best rush of excitement, but when it comes down to showcasing skills, Kali knows she can't stand losing to anyone but Cain.

And even then, she had fierce determination to greatly surpass her brother. It's why despite how disinterested she was, she took a serious amount of time into learning the Spirit Mending Aura. 

At the same time, Cain had a similar competitive smile while Amber was honestly eager to test her Spiritual Might. She was the only one that didn't care about beating the competition.

"Ah! Look! Those three are being called next!" 

"So now we finally get to see if they're really such hotshot…" 

Naturally, all other World Spirit Masters snapped their attention onto Cain's group, many eagerly awaiting their performance.

But not all shared this same kind of excitement. The World Spirit Masters, who also have their tokens being called, felt their muscles tightly tense up. Their complexion turned darker as their expression morphed into the utmost seriousness.

"To think we will be the one having to go against them…" 

"It can't…it can't be that those rumors are 100% accurate. No way they have improved so much in two weeks…"

As Cain heard the murmurs of the surrounding competition, he suddenly realized something critical. 

Since he and Kali arrived on this planet, nearly a whole month has already passed!

When he came upon this fact, Cain nearly faltered in his steps. To think, not much time has passed, but so many events have already occurred. 

Cain honestly felt like months rather than just weeks had passed. 

And the amount of progress he made in just nearly a month…it can be genuinely be described as mind-breaking. And now, he was once again going to stun the entire City.

Shaking his head of these thoughts, Cain snapped his attention up and saw the rest of the World Spirit Masters coming down. He hadn't paid attention to their performance but going off their faces, it appeared that only two passed out of the whole group.

Those two World Spirit Master were drenched in sweat but had absolute, gleeful expressions. While the other World Spirit Masters looked even more disarray and heavily depressed.

Feeling his curiosity overflow, Cain didn't hesitate, kicking off the ground and jumping straight onto the floating Spirit stone platform. Following close behind him were Amber and Kali.

As the trio landed on stage, so did the other dozens of World Spirit Masters in their group. 

Furthermore, the audience instantly took notice of Cain and Kali specifically. 

"There they are! We didn't even have to wait too long for them to come up!"

"Wonder about their results? Out of that first group, the two that passed just barely squeaked out a victory by using all of their Spirit energy. Surely…they could do better?"

"If they're the supposed highest talent, they should be able to outperform the average one at least." 

As of now, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Cain and Kali's result will dramatically shift the whole City's opinion on them.

That kind of pressure crushing down on any average genius would undoubtedly be suffocating, to say the least. 

The temperament of a Martial Heart could only do so much. They would need to rely on purely mental fortitude to resist such pressure. 

But all Cain and Kali really felt was a considerable tension stretching their bodies. They felt all eyes snap onto them, but it wasn't enough to make them feel heavy waves to stir chaotically stir their minds.

While the sibling duo could efficiently deal with the high volume pressure, Amber wasn't exactly in her best state. 

The attention wasn't keenly on her, but many had also taken notice of her and were judging based on her relationship with Cain.

With these kinds of critical eyes on her, Amber had to hold back her sigh. 

'Really…this is why I like to simply stay low-key. Oh well…just have to suck it up.' 

Though she wasn't precisely comfortable with this, Amber didn't voice any discontent.

Traveling by Cain's side, she's more than aware that their stage will only become larger and larger. And no matter how low key she wants to be, there will be necessary times where she will be forced to show her hand. 

In the briefest of instance, Amber took a small breath, letting loose most of her immediate tension. Her back stood a bit straighter as she calmly took her position at Cain's right side.

She was determined enough to not let all of her fervent work go to waste. Since they want to judge her as only Cain's girlfriend, Amber was sure to give them a performance befitting this title.

Cain seemingly didn't notice this subtle change within Amber. But, his Spirit Sense could detect her breathing becoming more even as the second passed on. 

He internally smiled, already knowing that so small as performance pressure wouldn't be able to affect Amber that much.

Suddenly, Cain was broken from his thoughts when he and everyone else felt an unfathomable Aura wash over them. 

This person wasn't here the second they landed on stage; they appeared just like a ghost!

Immediately, all World Spirit Master snapped their attentions over to an old-looking man standing just fifty meters away from them. 

This old man had a bit of a feeble appearance.

Wrinkles covered his entire face, his gray beard was long, flowing down to the center of his chest and his purplish, glowing eyes seemed to carry a profound amount of wisdom. 

The most notable aspect about this old man was his World Spirit Master uniform. This was the first time Cain had seen 3rd Class purple uniform set! 

Even with this old man's feeble appearance, the uniform he wore, and his Natural Aura could inscribe perpetual fear into anyone.

Even Cain tightened his brow under this old man's gaze. By just his Natural Aura, he could feel that's he far superior to Bellax! 

This was a true Spirit expert, an 3rd Class World Spirit Master!
