Soon after Cain, Kali, and Amber passed the Spirit Test, the competition resumed.
No matter how impressive the trio was, the other World Spirit Masters still needed to put all of their Spirit perceptions at foot in order to pass.
Although, the excitement about their results dimmed all because of Cain's group. Many all had thoughts on just how should they approach Cain's group, hoping to form even the slightest connection.
Others were becoming fervent on seeing how the trio would perform on the last part of the test. It could be said that the Spirit Annual Exchange event is even bigger than any other previous times.
Like this, Cain's group test ended with nobody else being able to pass.
After witnessing Cain's group might, many simply couldn't perform their best. The sense of disparity was too immense.
Soon after, time swiftly flew by until a few hours passed.
By now, all World Spirit Masters have taken the first test, and only a few dozens pass. Out of the hundreds gathered, such a small amount passed.
This number is actually quite average for this event. After all, contending against borderline 3rd Class Spirit energy is virtually together than ascending a thousand feet tall mountain.
All who did pass would've gained an immense momentum that couldn't be suppressed. They would be the absolute cream of the corp for the next few years.
However, all of the limelight still center on Cain's group.
As the event is gearing into the last Spirit test, all across the audience wanted Cain's group to perform first.
With their first results, whatever Spirit Art under their belt will be monumental.
Even the competitor World Spirit Masters and regular members watched on with critical looks. By observing how experts utilize Spirit energy, perhaps they could grasp some insights on their own, improving their Spirit energy control.
When it comes down to it, even though they're all rivals, World Spirit Masters are keen to grasp anything that is to their advantage.
Even if it does mean having to suppress their own pride to learn from those far younger than them.
As of now, Cain, Kali, and Amber were back on the floating Spirit platform. This time, their Spirit tokens ranged all at once, calling them to stage.
Cain was positive that the higher official Spirit Masters wanted to see them perform together. And since this will just speed up the process, neither Cain, Kali, or Amber minded.
As all attention snapped on to the trio, Grand Spirit Master Yao calmly treads over to them.
With each slow and careful step he took, Cain paid intent attention. He realized this old man's Spirit perception is indeed far beyond his expectations.
When staring into his Spirit barrier, he wasn't able to achieve any significant progress.
But, if he were to take the time to meditate on his insights, Cain was sure he could improve his Spirit control.
Just a casual wave of energy can achieve such noticeable benefits.
If he were to guide them, just how far would Cain and the girls be able to quickly grow? The thought of this greatly intrigues Cain. This is why he made sure to keep his Spirit Sense intently honed on this man.
And his intrigue wasn't for vain.
Grand Spirit Master Yao genuinely has a unique stride to his steps. It wasn't even like he was stepping on the ground but hovering just a few inches above it.
At each step, Cain could spot the faintest of a purple glow shimmering. Even down to walking, Grand Spirit Master Yao infuses Spirit energy through every action of his being.
Seeing this, Cain's eyes lit up. 'Thinking about it…I only do gather energies when I want to fight or perform some other task. For anything else, it's just my regular mortal body. A mortal body refined by Astral energy but still…not even I can infuse energy so naturally.'
As far Cain could tell, nobody has the ability to continually summon their energies in a forever perpetual state. He assumed it was a simple waste as no experts ever bothered with it.
But after observing Grand Spirit Master Yao's steps, perhaps this could be a better training method than even the Jade Sword Palace disciples?
How Grand Spirit Master Yao walked was far more natural compared to the Jade Sword Palace disciples training methods.
This was undoubtedly what Cain needed to deeply ponder on in the future.
Because before he could continue his thoughts, Grand Spirit Master Yao had already arrived in front of them.
"Hmmm…" Grand Spirit Master Yao leaked a small hum, his indifferent gaze intently sweeping over them over.
For a whole moment that seemed far longer than it should, his old eyes peered directly into Cain, Kali, and Amber's faces near simultaneously.
Or, at the very least, the trio believed his scope of vision was simultaneous. They couldn't precisely tell from his indifferent eyes, but his presence cleanly swept them over. The trio nearly shivered.
But before they could make any remark, Grand Spirit Master Yao spoke up, "If you do not mind, you three will be performing together. As you can guess, your previous results caused a sizable stir that we want to closely obverse."
Neither Kali nor Amber spoke, not wanting to associate themselves with this mysterious old man. They subtly depended on Cain to take the reigns as he usually does.
Although, even Cain felt faint pangs of apprehension against a 3rd Class World Spirit Master.
At this moment, Cain truly realized Bellax wasn't kidding about the separation of levels. It's merely one level above, yet he was affected to such a degree. This wasn't a person he could afford to be so casual with as of now.
Cain took a very small breath, calming his nerves, saying, "We do not mind at all. In fact, it will be perfect for us as Master Bellax allowed us to practice the same Spirit Art from her personal collection."
"Hm? She did? And from her personal collection?" Grand Spirit Master Yao's eyes suddenly gained a mysterious twinkle. His interest somehow increased even more.
"Then, shall we promptly start the test? Everything is prepared, so there is no need to wait anymore."
Before answering, Cain quickly gazed over to Kali and Amber, only to see both girls giving a slight nod in agreement.
Turning back over and nodding, Cain said, "That will be perfect."
With a faint hum in agreement, Grand Spirit Master Yao turned over to the massive audience of Martial cultivators. Promptly, his gaze morphed into unwavering indifference.
He then slowly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
'Hum~.'
Upon snapping, a soft noise ripple throughout the entire Plaza!
The soft noise coursing in Cain's ears truly was odd. He felt as if it was loud and quiet at the same time. It briefly distracted all of his thoughts, causing him to pay ]attention only to Grand Spirit Master Yao.
As he looked on, Cain recalled this ability.
This was a minor Spirit Art, Spirit sound ripples! Its supposed uses are for none other than gaining a large group of people's attention. It makes use of Spirit energy like a sound, allowing it to travel incomparably fast.
Compared to other Spirit Art, it seemed quite lukewarm,
But as Cain experienced it firsthand, he was impressed at how potent the sensation was.
The audience, even from around 5,000 meters away, all heard the Spirit sound ripple and had a more intense reaction.
"Hm? Ah! Look! Spirit Master Cain, Kali, and Amber are all going to perform together!"
The massive crowd filled with tens of thousands of people all squared their attention onto Cain's group.
Nobody knew what to precisely except, but they were sure it would be utterly heaven-defying.
With the attention on them, Grand Spirit Master Yao spoke with Spirit energy infused into his voice, allowing to cover the entire Plaza.
"For the last round of testing, young Spirit Master, Cain, Kali, and Amber will perform. Now then, if you please."
Grand Spirit Master Yao slowly stepped away, giving Cain's group the whole floor.
Under Martial cultivators and World Spirit Master's intent eyes, the trio put on a calm facade. At the same time, they quickly circulated their Spirit energy while revolving the Spirit Mending Arts.
The trio closed their eyes as they submerged deep within their mental psyche.
Spirit essence flowed through Cain's mental psyche, and he perceived the specific Spirit essence properties within it.
Revolving a Spirit Mending Art is largely similar to a cultivation manual. Once Cain perceives the essence within the scroll or jade manual, it will become engraved to both his Soul's Core and mental psyche.
Then, with just a thought, he would be able to utilize his energies in a specific way, combining his Qi or Spirit energy with either the Spirit Art or cultivation manual's essence.
With cultivation manuals, Cain would be able to revolve his Draconic Lightning Arts or his Draconic Lightning Claw near-instantaneously.
But Spirit Arts have one striking difference.
When revolving the Spirit Mending Art, he could also feel his Soul linking to the Spiritual Dimension! To fully perceive the Art's Spirit essence, he also needed a firm connection with the Spiritual Dimension.
The Spiritual Dimension is the source of all Spirit energy and the underlying principle to how Cain could perfectly use an Spirit Art.
Without this connection, the abilities he can display with Spirit Art would be immensely weak.
However, it isn't straightforward to form a firm connection with the Spiritual Dimension. Naturally, this requires high Spirit perception that average World Spirit Masters and even geniuses can't properly grasp.
This is why most of the time, World Spirit Masters will simply pour a massive amount of Spirit energy into their Arts to tremendously boost its potency. As long as the quantity of Spirit energy is enough, the difference can be largely made up.
But in the end, this method is naturally inferior to the Spiritual Dimension connection.
Not only does the connection cause the potency to be perfect, but it also uses a considerably lower amount of Spirit energy.
As Cain wanted to be perfect, he, of course, chose the route of forming a Spiritual Dimension connection. He expected it to be pretty easy, and while it was overall straightforward, Cain did experience some slight mishaps along the way.
But no matter the minor setbacks, Cain pushed through until finally achieving perfection.
And now, it was time to show the meaning of genius perfection!
'Huu~!!'
Only seconds after closing his eyes, a blue-color gaseous Aura gushed from Cain's body.
This gaseous Aura was made from Spirit energy, causing it to look beautifully enchanting. At the same time, green-color gaseous Auras spouted from both Kali and Amber.
Upon the release of their gaseous Auras, billowing waves of Spirit energy discharged throughout the entier Plaza! This Spirit energy infused into the air, causing it to rapidly spread in just seconds.
As Martial cultivators basked in this new air, thousands of them nearly lept up in shock!
