"Heh, you noticed it too, huh?" Amber's lips curled in mockery. "You're right; only Wang and Gao can act like this. These two are the children of one of the oldest and most powerful Supreme Vampire Elder. In fact, that Elder is actually comparable to my parents."
"So it's like this?" Cain curled his brows.
Neither Wang nor Gao can feasibly cause him any harm at all. The most they could achieve is subtly influencing him to subtly like them more as with these gas pheromones.
In terms of actual threatening or damage, neither would have the slightest of courage to even think about offending the World Spirit Master Branch.
Still, no matter what, Cain has a fervent dislike over getting schemed upon. He found it as blatant disrespect.
If this was Cain when he first came to this universe, he wouldn't have much sentiment about respect or pride. But as he comes more engraved to the arrogant blood flowing through his veins, his tolerance for disrespect is absolutely low.
But at the same time, Cain knows he wouldn't be able to directly mess with either of them without a good reason.
At the very least, World Spirit Master has a reputable image despite their arrogance. No matter their infamous attitude, World Spirit Masters are well known to never suppress anyone unless they become provoked.
Their reputation is a combination of fear and fairness in respect. Through extreme meticulous work is how they could stay at the very summit of the City since the beginning.
Cain then asked, "Just who are their parent?"
"It would be that man….Elder Rai. That guy's mind is incredibly fierce. Out of all of us, he's the biggest one stuck in doing things by the books. Even though we're just a Class-level Family, he wants to far majorly boost our status and strength beyond what our ancestors can achieve. The most annoying thing about him is that the headmaster constantly supports his decisions above all Supreme Elder. Haaah~. No wonder….no wonder those two are quick for action."
Slight worry crossed Amber's face. Even with all of Cain's absolute protection, she simply had a difficult time not getting worried about any unforeseen matters.
It was all irrational concerns birthed by the sentiments of her profoundly deep feelings. Something that Amber wasn't precisely aware of but subconsciously depended on.
Unable to suppress her worries, Amber's eyes suddenly glinted with a sharp cold light.
"Should we….should we do something about this? We can just blow off this public match and deal with things our own way."
Listening to this incredible shift of tone, Cain arched a brow. There wasn't a trace of familiarity or even hesitation. It wasn't like she was talking about her fellow clansmen but just outsiders utterly different from her.
In this instance, Cain recalled all that he knew about Amber. And the more he contemplated, the more this reaction made sense.
Besides her parents, never once did she ever speak fondly about any of her Vampire clansmen. Hell, much less speaking fondly, Cain typically hears traces of disdain or negativity in her tone.
Thinking of all this, Cain already had an answer in mind, but he still decided to ask,
"Before I answer that, answer me this. Just what are your thoughts on your Family as a whole. You don't have to think too deeply. Just the general level of thoughts."
"These Vampires….it's not like I dislike all those besides my parents. There are a few tolerable ones in here. But, other than that, I truly only care for my parents. By extension, my parents do genuinely care about the rise of our Family in general. So I have a sliver of care about the rise of my Family. Just, nowhere near to an extreme point like most others here."
Amber didn't even need a second to speak her opinions. Long before meeting Cain, she cleared herself of her genuine feelings concerning anything about her Vampire Family.
Now, there was only a simple, unwavering calmness infused into her tone.
"I see. You know, I wonder, don't you all already have one of the highest statuses within the City? Does that Elder Rai have ambitions to match with powerful Sect organizations?" Cain curiously asked.
"Pretty much. His and many other belief is that we Vampires holds the utmost noble tradition that needs to be revied. The mythos of Vampires is that this is a race that can supposedly surpass the Mortal Coil, reach a legendary plane of existence, and perceive something called the…what was it? The highest…truths? Hell, if I know what that means."
Amber lazily waved off such an ancient tale, almost instantly putting it out of her mind.
Truthfully, when it comes to understanding deep topics related to this, Amber's perception wouldn't be bad at all.
Perhaps she could've already attained a slight trace of sudden enlightenment that would allow her cultivation to soar.
But the very core of her Martial Heart simply rejected relentlessly pursuing this. The fascination simply didn't exist within her.
In direct contrast to Amber's casualness, Cain suddenly felt a bit odd.
Perceiving the highest ruth….shouldn't that only be something limited to at least the Divine Plane?
Complex understandings like that shouldn't have any place in the Mortal Realm. These cultivators' Mental psyche wasn't advanced enough to comprehend that.
And yet, Amber's specific Vampire bloodline variation continued to show subtle hints about surpassing the Lower Realm. All that was talked about may be from Ancient texts, but each source of information was valuable.
When referring to old legends in this universe, none were simple existence that would be forgotten after generations.
These old legends pave the way for the current structure of their universe, formulating the life that Cain was able to so graciously receive.
In turn, while the Ancient Vampires legends can seem exaggerated, Cain believed there was some validity there. At least, it would explain how their bloodlines managed to tremendously place them above all thousands of years old Class-Level Families within Azure Lightning City.
These matters were intriguing, but Cain shuffled these thoughts for later. Presently, he turned his attention back on Gao's issues and said,
"In any case, we won't move against either Gao or Wang. We don't have concrete evidence to say they're being suspicious. And I don't want to strain relationships around here, at least not yet."
"Straining relationships? Are you actually worried about this? Don't be. As long you have mom and dad's approval, you practically have a large force of our estate approval." Amber confidently stated.
"Maybe….but as you said, your parents still want to see the Family rise in status, glory, and power despite differences in views. Consider my help as an offering to my eventual in-laws." Cain smoothly told, his lips curling into a bright sunny smile.
"In-in laws?"
Instantly, Amber's cheek colored a faint pink glow. Her heart rapidly beat, and countless fantasies swirled in her mind.
Indeed, marrying someone like Cain….
"Ah! What are you thinking about? Just start cultivating already so you can perfectly beat Wang's ass tomorrow." Amber hurriedly spoke, forcing down all sudden embarrassing thoughts.
Though, as she spoke in her haste, a bundle of warmth surged in her chest. No matter what they're doing, Cain is always so thoughtful to her, and Amber's very Soul would always tremble in absolute bliss over this.
Seeing her state, Cain lightly smirked before focusing his thoughts.
Wang is most likely a top-tier genius with high combat prowess within his realm. Comparing him to other students around Crimson Sea Academy, it wouldn't be an issue for Wang to enter the high Core rankings.
Above all base states that all geniuses have, Wang also has a powerful bloodline backing him up along with whatever variation ability he awakens.
Fighting a genius like him wouldn't be easy for even other high-level Martial Talents.
Even for just a friendly spar, many geniuses would find it challenging to effectively exchange blows with him.
When considering all of this, Cain thoroughly compared himself with Wang. And his confidence in winning didn't wain in the slightest.
From Early all the way up to Peak Stage, the power behind Profound Qi continually experiences quantitive changes.
Wanting to leap up stages would be far a greater challenge than what he was able to achieve in the Nascent Formation Realm.
However, with all he has at his disposal, Cain had extremely high hopes. Hopes to not only breach peak Profound Soul prowess but to also reach Innate Lord prowess!
Because he could already do it in the Nascent Formation Realm, why couldn't he do it in the Profound Soul Realm?
Naturally, Cain was more than aware that the disparity with Innate Lord prowess only increased by countless times, reaching a point where all Innate Lord seemed like untouchable gods to other Profound Soul cultivators.
But, Cain had no such fear or reservation on this seemingly immeasurable task.
At this point, Cain realized long ago that his existence defies every manner of the heavens will. Profoundly thinking about it, perhaps he shouldn't even be an existence born into any type of universe.
But since it seems luck is brightly raining down upon him, Cain was determined enough to test the absolute limit of his prowess.
After all, if he couldn't cross over from Profound Soul to Innate Lord, just how would he ever match his godly genius siblings?
Genius Dragon God children who are revered by countless lifeforms and forged prowess that is genuinely divine.
With all that Cain has experienced so far, his own pride mutated, evolving to a point where fierce competitions matters like this are greatly valued by him.
He won't ever keep his head down, only rising up to obtain ultimate freedom!
And to take a step into this brutally long pathway, he'll need to carve out a new legend now, staring with this Lower Realm planet.
No matter if the genius surpasses him by an entier boundary, Cain will make sure his Martial Perception, Qi Seed foundation, and comprehension of Chaos Energy are all at a heaven-defying level!
As Cain formulated these thoughts, a bright shine unknowingly glinted within the depths of his pupils.
If Amber didn't have her eyes closed for rest, she would've felt inexplicably drawn into this shine, feeling as if she was staring into a new dimension.
But as quickly the shine appeared, it instantly vanished.
Unaware of that brief change, Cain quickly assimilated into his cultivation state.. And unknowingly, his Soul's Core linked to his Mental Psyche, slowly experiencing slight changes.
