The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 56 - Determined Pride



As Cain calmed down from that massive adrenaline rush of power, he swept his Spirit Senses onto himself. Inspecting both his Spirit Core and Qi Seed, Cain discovered he only has 50% of his energy reserve!

Cain's brows tightly knitted. 'I've used this much energy within just a few seconds? This consumption is no joke. Unless I can score a perfect hit, this combination is not very practical. I guess I'll just need to train it. Now then, can she….?'

Turning his gaze over to Kali, Cain swept his eyes all over her.

The only reason he could finish this combination was because of the overpowering effects of Chaos Energy. If not for that, his arms would've come close to shattering.

And even now, Cain couldn't feel any previous pain despite the fresh blood dripping down his arms and palms.

At that moment, Cain felt mixed. His Chaos Energy came from his very soul. It's quite literally another half of his life that he couldn't get rid of even if he tried.

And Kali didn't have this. She only had limited Chaos Energy mixed within her Qi Veins.

Would just this be enough to crossover that barrier?

Cain wasn't sure at all. But as he saw the anticipating glint in Kali's eyes, he knew she'd want to try this process no matter what.

"The power from combining these energies is great, but the consumption is massive. We definitely need to extensively train in this. Now then, as for if you can do it….I'm not sure. The only reason I could is because of my Innate Chaos Energy activating in my veins. And since you only got a transfer of it, I'm not sure if it would similarly activate for you."

Cain explained as reasonably as he could. But just like he expected from her, Kali didn't look dissuaded in the slightest.

She kept her chin held up very high as she confidently boasted, "If it activated for you, why wouldn't it activate for me? Since it came from your veins, I'm assuming it should come from my veins too! And even if it can't, I will make it work no matter what."

Kali's determination was at an all-time high. There's just no way she could miss out on this kind of power! Especially considering she and Cain have almost similar innate abilities, how could this not also work for her?

Before Cain could even say anything back, Kali already condensed Nascent Qi and Spirit Energy into her hands once more.

She, like Cain, had zero problems with controlling both energies separately. From just this, her confidence increased even more.

Then, with zero hesitation, Kali began bringing her hands together. At first, she was fast, wanting to immediately gain that previous incredible power.

But when her hands made it just an inch apart from each other, she abruptly stopped.

"Mn?! Ah!"

Immense pain shot through Kali like howling lightning strikes! Because she was in such haste, her palm and arms got ruined quicker than even Cain.

Dark red blood splashed out of her palms and arms, spraying into the wind, staining Kali's clothes.

Kali may have experienced a great deal of pain before coming to this point. But trying to combine these two energies was easily taking the top.

It felt like both of her arms were getting painfully crushed by a meat grinder, coming dangerously close to breaking the bones within her.

However, no matter how dangerous this was getting, Kali gritted her teeth and kept pushing on.

She had, no, she must push through this just like Cain! If she doesn't, this would be just another dividing line between him and her.

Another ability that shows off why Cain is far more special and talented than her….Kali just didn't want to think about it.

She loves her dear brother to the utmost degree and feels an unbridled amount of pride within him. After all, she's more than sure Cain's Martial talent alone surpasses even the Imperial Crown Prince within their family.

But despite her respect and love, something inside her couldn't fully accept this.

She didn't want to get so pathetically left behind by Cain to the point where she could only live in his shadow. Her own Dragon Pride absolutely couldn't allow this!

Even as indescribable pain continued to fill her mind and body, Kali was going to persist no matter what!

'Hmmm….this is taking more time than me. Hopefully, she just needs to tough it out.' Cain stayed calm and observant.

He wasn't in a panic mode like how Kali started to turn into. But he was in rapt attention to stop this process if it seemed lasting damage would start.

As Cain intently watched on, he could also see the increasingly maddening glint shimmering within Kali's eyes. And with his fine grasp over her personality, Cain could guess her current line of thoughts.

The feeling of utter inferiority.

Of course, there's absolutely no way Kali would accept him being massively better in basically everything. These kinds of feelings could easily lead to more dangerous ones like resentment or jealousy.

If Kali were to fail this, Cain could see her mental state being far more damaged than anything done to her body.

At this thought, Cain felt a slight chill. He for sure didn't want their relationship to go down a dark swirl.

Unknowingly, Kali had a fermented position in his heart that couldn't move no matter what. It didn't matter at all if they had only technically known each other for at most a week.

Cain honestly considered Kali as his dear sister he could withstand all kinds of trials and tribulations with.

Considering all of this, Cain was nearly at the juncture to silently take out his Chaotic Emerald to provide any backup assistance.

Because she's so intently focused, Cain hoped she wouldn't be able to sense any outside help.

But before Cain could even surge his soul energy, an incredible change snapped within Kali's Qi Veins.

Kali wasn't even aware of what was happening within her internal body. Her mind was utterly determined to shatter this barrier. And it was like the Chaos Energy within her Qi Veins responded to her call just like for Cain.

After an almost agonizing two minutes, Chaos Energy tumbled out of Kali's Qi veins and soared straight towards her palm!

'Ka-Cha!'

The combined energy barrier shattered to a million pieces!

Kali's own Martial Talent or Spiritual Talent simply didn't matter. The might of Chaos Energy could easily surpass all common sense, standing at an equal level with the illustrious Heavens!

'Bang!

A powerful pulse of energy burst out from Kali's palm. The air turned increasingly heavy, and the power pressure was considerably dense.

Any mid-level Nascent would collapse to their knees under this pressure.

However, Cain could still calmly take in her fusion of power. When he compared to his energy fusion, Kali's was just slightly lacking.

Cain reason it is the fact that he's also stronger than her. But truly, Kali's energy fusion was at a slightly lower power output than his.

'Still, no matter if she can't match up to mines, her current prowess would be enough to instantly crush any seventh-level Nascent in just a single attack. May not be on my level, but she truly is a terrifying genius in her own right.'

Cain could already appraise Kali's prowess output. He found that the more he got better with his perception abilities, the easier it came to make accurate guesses like this.

And at this moment, Kali was smiling with utter glee. She did it all without her brother's help!

All on her own, she achieved a level of power that will have nearly all other cultivators or World Spirit Force Master running scared.

This was the ultimate boost to her ego. In her rush of excitement, she snapped her gaze over to Cain, showcasing a cocky smile.

"Heh! Well, brother? It seems your worries we-"

Suddenly, Kali couldn't finish her sentence. Not when a great wave of exhaustion overtook her entire mind and body. The pain from her arms subsided, but a large portion of energy was sucked right out of her.

In that instance, Kali immediately dispersed the fusion energy ball, allowing her breath to come back to her.

Exhaling a quiet sigh, Kali quickly inspected her energy reserves.

"Ah! Only around 40% left??" Kali couldn't conceal utter bewilderment. "No kidding we need to train in this fusion. Just a few seconds passed, and I feel like I ran five marathons at full speed."

"Mn….arlight then. Now that we got over this barrier let's cultivate using everything we got from those army campsite spatial rings. During this time, we can also splice in controlling Spirit Energy. But let's not take too long here. I'm surprised the Liang Tribe hasn't bothered to check out."

Truly, Cain believed this would be one of the first places to check, considering the key is needed here. But it seems like lady luck is on their sides for this one.

"Heh. In any case, once those guys do come around here, they'll have a rude surprise waiting for them. So come on, let's get to it."

Kali simply had no fear at all over being discovered now. On the contrary, her self-achievement gave her an overflow of confidence.

And at her words, Cain and Kali swiftly brought out their Dragon Charms, falling into their serene cultivation state.
