It was plainly obvious to see the winner. Cain stood mightly tall while Wang practically froze in place.
If Cain wanted to, he could've sliced off Wang's arm, pierced his chest, or even something tremendously worse!
And if such an accident were to occur, there would be truly little even the Elders could do about it.
The World Spirit Master Branch could so easily cover for Cain, and they would just need to accept with a bright smile.
It is true that the World Spirit Master Branch doesn't attack unless provoked. But when it comes down to who the Branch will cover for when a World Spirit Master selfishly acts, the Branch is known to always protect its own.
Truthfully, Cain could act whatever way he wanted without a single care.
Yet, Cain was merciful. He completely stayed his hand in both attacks. All Vampires could even see that Wang at most has some fractured bones given the bleeding his right arm was pouring out.
To them, this was just a minor flesh wound. Truly young World Spirit Master Cain does favor them!
"So this is the prowess of Heaven-defying! This was far beyond what I could ever expect! Wang could only use one Martial Skill!"
"But he used all of the power! That sword is the Earthen Spirit Blood blade, and that skill came from a 1st-grade Earthen cultivation manual. These two Elements make Wang's prowess powerful among all peak stage geniuses. But all of that and yet….the disparity is too large."
"Just imagine….just imagine Spirit Master Cain's highest boundary. Even the Azure Lightning Sect will bow their whole heads to him!"
All Vampires fervently discussed the match.
It was impossible to say anything else other than that Cain rolled Wang with absolute strength! His Martial Comprehension is in no way lacking compared to the status of his World Spirit Master.
And as all discussion broke out, Cain recalled all of his Aura. His Energy dispersed, and he flashed the Spiral Sword back into his spatial ring, allowing Wang to finally breathe.
Externally, Cain appeared as cool and calm as ever. But internally, he was genuinely a bit surprised. He expected a prowess surge but not to this degree.
This was hardly close to his full strength. The full power of his Draconic Lightning Aura and his Soul Form was utterly unnecessary.
And it was at this moment, Cain realized he was much closer to his goal than he initially thought.
Chaos Spirit Force combined with all of his heavily dense Energy….it's more than likely he can face a genuine Innate Lord powerhouse! Or, at the very least, a half-step Innate Lord expert.
Excitement and determination flared within Cain. This match is just one of many his true Martial Road.
From here on out, he'll challenge even greater foes to draw out his full potential!
"Haaah~....holy shit…."
When Cain removed his Spiral Sword, Wang immediately breathed an immense sigh of relief. Every inch of his body was shaking. Continuous beads of cold sweat drenched his face.
He realized Cain isn't any type of junior. This guy is simply a monster in his own league! Getting involved with him would require even the more utmost of caution.
And at this time, the referee Elder called the match, his tone also a bit hoarse.
"Match Victory….Cain." Disbelief crossed his entire face. This Vampire Elder realized they honestly wouldn't be able to against this young man no matter.
The ones who do….he shuddered at that terrifying thought.
"Ah….so you won, Sir Cain…."
As the referee spoke, Wang wobbly walked backward. His smile was a bit shaky, struggling to maintain the calmness of his Martial Heart.
His forged pride of a genius violently cracked within just moments. For anyone in his position, it would be inevitably challenging to retain any sort of serenity.
Now Wang had no other thoughts. He just to get as far as possible from Cain! Before waddling towards Gao, he waved, saying,
"F-farewell Cain…."
In an instant, Wang hurriedly jumped off the stage, landing right next to Gao.
Wang's gaze soon met with a pale face Gao. The same fear swirling within his mind was evidently plastered within her expression and eyes.
With that duel, no way Wang could ever fault Gao for her shell cracking into pieces. It would be weirder if she wasn't severely affected.
Still, Wang shook his head, telling her, "We absolutely must tread more lightly than ever before. He's….well, he's just too fierce."
As these words flowed into Gao's ears, her entire Mental Psyche jolted, shocking her back to full consciousness. Her body nearly jumped, but she strangely couldn't gather the energy for it.
Just merely observing that domineering duel took far too much out of her.
"Seriously, you can say that again. I was wondering why it seemed like he wasn't affected by my pheromones. And evidently, it seems I'm just too weak to make even the slightest wave within him."
Towards the end of her own words, Gao suddenly turned even paler. Tiny beads of sweat began to trickle down, her body shivering as if it was experiencing a sudden bout of freezing wind.
In this instance, she trailed close to Wang, getting into ear range with him. Her voice carried a slight tremble as she said,
"You don't think….you don't think our actions offended him, right? It shouldn't, right?"
Wang similarly froze up, his mind falling into serious contemplation. For nearly his whole life, he barely had to deal with consequences and plains failing before him.
But now, he had no other choice but to face it head-on.
Moments later, he slowly shook his head. "Amber may have high disdain for us, but she is also reasonable in her own right. At the very least, she'll be able to resolve the tension. At least, I hope she does."
These words weren't entirely reassuring, but it was his and Gao's best hope. Otherwise, dealing with a provoked World Spirit Master would be the greatest challenge of their lives.
As Gao and Wang were fraught with concerns over past action, Cain had already jumped off the stage, landing back over to Amber.
His lips curled in remnants of excitement as he said to her, "That was shorter than what I even expected. But I'm sure you were entertained, right?"
"Mm. You really are a showoff. That fellow was even using his bloodline enhancement, yet you so easily tore him apart. Really, a crazy guy."
Amber sweetly praised while immediately latching on to Cain's arms.
Together and under all fervent eyes, the young couple began strolling back down the same exit corridor.
As they walked, Cain said, "Now that this is done with, let's hang out with your parents a bit more before heading back over to the Academy. I'm sure Kali is wondering what we're up to. Probably."
"Alright then. You know, I'm sure if she did come with us, she would've jumped at the option to fight the strongest genius here at the same time. Hehe~. That also would've been an entertaining sight."
Amber joked as the duo strolled out of the corridor.
….
Hours soon passed, and turbulent storms of news ran through the entirety of Azure Lightning City. Many, especially from powerful Sects and other Class-level Families and Clans, felt immense envy over this news.
That is, young World Spirit Master Cain has official ties with the Hiyashi estate!
He showed his ties by participating in a friendly duel, shocking the whole of the Vampire Family with his outstanding prowess.
There weren't any recordings of the fight, but it was described that Cain taught the strongest geniuses of the Hiyashi estate a valuable generous lesson within just a few moves!
Beyond this news, it was also broadcasted that the highest daughter of the Hiyashi estate, Amber is in an official relationship with him.
This was a far bigger thunderclap of news that fiercely shook up many minds.
It's already wildly well known that World Spirit Masters rarely engaged in romantic relationships. Even if they were offered heaven class beauties from an organization or Class-level Family, they would reject without care.
Many high-level figures from Sects and Families still had thoughts on persuading Cain, considering he's one of the youngest World Spirit Master to date.
But with this news utterly crushed all of their wild hopes!
It's so difficult for a World Spirit Master to get into one relationship; what hopes do they have with him being willing to form two?
On the streets, many were still fervently discussing this news.
One particular group of youths hailed from the High-Class level Family, the Zhun Family. And each of them had varying levels of complex emotions plastering their faces.
"This really is so strange. I mean, when World Spirit Master Lei married the Yuan Family princess, at least she was a studious Martial Cultivator. Her talent wasn't bad at all, reaching the Sky Ruler realm after all these years. Compared to her….Crimson Sea Amber….I haven't heard many good things about her besides a slumbering outrageous talent."
"Tch! Just imagine how much more haughty the Hiyashi's will become after this. Those Vampires truly think they were equal to Sects before. And now, they can genuinely say they are above all other Families! They have some serious dogshit luck."
"Say, you know….didn't Miss Yi also participate in the entrance exam with Spirit Master Cain? I distinctly recall her reporting about legendary talents during her first stays at the Academy."
One of the young girls within the Zhun group asked. And as the others listened to her, their expressions soon lit up in realization.
"No….you're definitely right! She was at the entrance exam with him and was completely overshadowed by him. Yi always says that day was a great shame to her and directly affected her performance. But now…."
"Heh, yea. I'm betting she wishes she was the one to form relations with Cain since the start. Haaah~. Such a missed opportunity."
These Zhun Family's youths could only lament their bad luck.
Honestly, if it was possible, they all would be entirely in vote to send their royal princess to Cain.. But they also know their fate is simply impossible to ever align with someone like Cain.
