Soon, he arrived at the peak where Caroline practiced.
Austin used his spiritual sense to detect the cave in which Caroline was cultivating.
"Although she comes from the evil shadow race, Caroline is quite diligent with her cultivation. She often cultivates in seclusion for several months at a time.
Last month, she broke through to the preliminary stage of Heavenly Grotto Realm and successfully created three hundred grottoes. Her feat caused a sensation in our college.
From amongst all our students, Caroline's talent for martial arts is the best in the school.
She is easily one of the most promising students at the Immortal End School,"
the dean praised her.
"Caroline reached the Heavenly Grotto Realm with three hundred grottoes?"
Austin was pleasantly surprised.
Although the evil shadow race cultivated evil energy, their cultivation system was the almost same as that of the human race.
When a warrior of the evil shadow race reached the Heavenly Grotto Realm, he or she would be judged by the number of the grottoes they developed at the time of the breakthrough.
"Caroline is a gifted girl. Her achievements in the field of martial arts will be astonishing,"
the dean said with a satisfied smile.
At this time, Caroline was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the practice cave. Although wholly immersed in her cultivation, she suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and released her spiritual sense to probe the outside world.
"Austin!"
She trembled slightly when she felt the presence of the person about whom she was most concerned.
Relieved that he was safe, she rushed out of the cave to greet him.
"Here you are."
Upon seeing Austin, tenderness reflected in Caroline's expression. She couldn't help but reach out and slip her delicate hand in his.
"Sir, you are here as well!"
It was only then that she noticed the presence of the dean. Startled, she bowed to him in respect.
"Ha-ha, I'm such an old fool. Why didn't I think to give you two some privacy?
As I have something urgent to do, I will take my leave."
When he saw the tender moment between Austin and Caroline, the dean realized his mistake. Crimson bloomed
hen have you become like this?" ……
When Caroline understood what Austin was implying, she blushed.
Austin laughed loudly. He found it interesting to tease her like this.
Then, Austin used his spiritual sense to summon Violet and the gnome.
Soon, Violet and the gnome arrived.
As they were catching up after a long time, the four laughed and spoke at length.
Austin was surprised to learn that Violet and the gnome were more powerful than before.
To his surprise, their bodies were emitting a powerful demon force pressure, which formed layers of visible demonic power ripples around them. They looked quite extraordinary.
"Violet, gnome, what's your cultivation base now?"
Austin asked curiously.
"Master, the cultivation base of our ancient species is different from that of your human race.
Both the gnome and I have fully regained our innate blood power.
Now, we have begun to cultivate in a real sense.
We have reached the level of the Second Beast Energy Realm,"
Violet explained.
"The Second Beast Energy Realm?"
Austin was stunned. He had never heard this kind of description before.
"That's right. This level is equivalent to the preliminary stage of Heavenly Grotto Realm of your cultivation system,"
Violet explained with a smug smile.
"That's not bad! Violet, gnome, I had not thought that you could reach the preliminary stage of Heavenly Grotto Realm so soon."
Austin was pleasantly surprised.
