Chapter 32: Kong Clan

Name:The Chaos Dragon Prince Author:
The Nascent Formation realm, a power that is supposed to completely trump over the Spirit Opening realm. Once a cultivator reaches this realm of prowess, their bodies will truly morph past their mortal coil.

Everything about the Nascent Formation realm is a total upgrade beyond any Spirit Opening cultivator's wildest dreams.

Many want to breakthrough into this realm. However, achieving Nascent Formation wasn't simple at all.

An intriguing fact Cain learned from Kali was how at least in Lower Realms, it's extremely common for an average cultivator to never reach past the Spirit Opening realm. Their Martial Talent is simply insufficient enough.

At most, these cultivators can only reach the peak, never being able to the proper second step into cultivation.

Wanting to advance to the Nascent Formation realm requires one to have some slightly decent level of Martial Talent.

These cultivators would naturally have profound comprehension and a natural aura that oozes with power.

Such is with the case from these two Kong Clan's gates guard.

Cain could detect these two men's natural aura is one of the most powerful among everyone he meets since coming to this universe.

He didn't count Sword Genius Qiu Lan or his Ancient Dragon Empress grandmother since he already knows their prowess is beyond his boundary of understanding.

However, even as he could sense they were strong, Cain didn't feel any pressure from them. Honestly, it felt like two guards were a pair of ordinary people to him.

This thought got Cain deeply thinking.

"Eras? Your squadron back already? And you all look you've been in quite the battle. And….you have two new faces? Just what happened?"

When Eras' groups approached close, one of the red leather armor guards immediately spoke up.

He and the other guard casually swept their gazes throughout the whole group until they landed on Cain and Kali.

Right then, they both momentarily froze to their roots. At that moment, neither of them could move their eyes from them.

What would capture anyone's attention is the sheer beauty radiating from both Cain and Kali. The sibling duo certainly look anything but ordinary. Even with their plain black clothes, their faces make them stand apart from the crowd.

However, their appearances aren't what made the two guards freeze. Striking the guards to their very core was a sudden sense of fear!

Looking into Cain and Kali's eyes were akin to staring into the gaze of a terrifying monster. Their expressions may be calm, but anyone could see the harsh lights shimmering in the depths of their pupils.

Furthermore, neither of the guards could even sense the sibling duo's cultivation!

All they could perceive was a dangerous natural aura that oozes a blood-filled scent.

Subconsciously the guards began to tense their bodies. They weren't sure if their calmness was is just a front, but their instincts were raging at them, telling them these two are dangerous existences.

Suddenly, their thoughts were cut off when Eras responded to them.

"Ah, you see, my squadron had a run-in with Shao's group. And the only reason we're standing before you now is because of our saviors, Cain and Kali."

As Eras spoke, he directed his fingers over to the sibling duo, introducing them in kind.

"Wait….you ran into that group and managed to escape? Just how? Don't tell me that…." One of the guards started to trail off in growing disbelief.

And as if to confirm his disbelief, Eras nodded at him, explaining, "It is as you're thinking. Cain and Kali easily killed Shao's group without a sweat. We even have his spatial ring to prove it."

Once Eras brought up, Cain wordlessly took out Shao's spatial ring.

"This should be more than enough proof, no?" Cain said as he indifferently showed off Shao's spatial ring.

"This-this!"

Surprise flashed in both guard's eyes. They could clearly recognize the Liang Tribe's high-ranking symbols on Shao's ring. Meaning, these two newcomers really did kill off an eighth-level Spirit Opening squadron!

And from how healthy their appearances plus Eras' boastful words, the guards could only accept that the sibling duo's prowess is indeed better than what it looks like.

Killing a couple of late Spirit Opening cultivators is no joke.

Even as the Liang Tribe could more quickly mass-produce warriors, it is still difficult to raise them towards late Spirit Opening. Much less trying to get them to reach the Nascent Formation realm.

The guards were aware that there are far more Spirit Opening warriors than Nascent Formation masters.

And if they could receive incredible support like this, then maybe Cain and Kali aren't as strange as the vibe they give off.

With all this in mind, the guards slowly nodded towards Cain.

They both took a moment to think, realization swirling within their eyes. Right then, before Eras could speak again, one of the guards directly told him,

"This is already fantastic. Because of you're achievements, you two can get directly inspected without having to wait. Here Eras."

After he finished speaking, the guard whipped out a fancy-looking badge from his spatial ring. He tossed it over to Eras while telling him, "This is my seal of approval. I'm sure Captain won't raise any disagreement once you show him Shao's spatial ring."

"Got it."

Eras nodded as he caught the badge. He then turned over to his other squadrons members, telling them, "You all can rest up for a while. As you can see, I will be busy for a while."

"Yes sir."

The other squadrons promptly followed orders. Before leaving, they all took one glance over to the still calm Cain and Kali. Through this entire time, neither of them barely said anything; in fact, Kali said nothing at all.

Their temperament is entirely different from the domineering, cruel one they witnessed in the woods.

At that moment, they all couldn't help but think, will this really be ok?

Of course, none of Eras squadron's members voice their opinions. Instead, they swiftly continued on back into the Kong Clan gates.

Once they were gone, Eras turned over to Cain and Kali.

"Ok, we've just be given the go for you two to immediately undergo the joining test. This will test your combat prowess to see if you are powerful enough to skip the rookie requirement missions. And with your strength….this won't be anything complicated."

Eras explained.

Cain and Kali exchanged a brief glance with each other. With how incredibly smooth this meeting went, there really wasn't anything else to say.

Truthfully, the sibling duo was expecting to get into some kind of altercation to get into the Clan.

But appears as either the Kong Clan is more humble or more desperate than they thought. Either way, it's all the better for them.

As if they just had a conversation with their minds, Cain and Kali blinked their eyes at the same time. They then turned back towards, Eras, nodding in agreement.

Without any more delay, Eras walked straight into the Kong Clan, with Cain and Kali following closely behind.

Strolling through the interior of the compound was a different feeling from seeing it on the outside. Gazing all around the area, Cain and Kali took notice of all the various labels buildings and special areas.

Everything here was order in a straightforward manner, leaving no chance for anyone to get confused.

Beyond the area of design, the clan members walking around also were a note of interest.

Listening in on the discussion clambering around, the sibling duo picked up on a particular theme. The main topic being discussed is either training, cultivating, or strategic plans for fighting the Liang Tribe.

Kong Clan members were mainly buddled up into groups. The groups vary on four to five people, and all of them were at various levels within the Spirit Opening realm.

Just from strolling through the Clan compound, the sibling duo had to admit it was a heavy atmosphere.

Despite so many people out and bout, there wasn't many joyous talks or festive mood.

Right then, Cain and Kali were coming to a more profound grasp on just how brutal this war is for the Kong Clan. Although, oddly enough, Cain and Kali garnered barely any sympathy for them.

They were more glad that nobody attempted to bother them as they follow behind Eras.

While there were a few who took notice of them because of their gorgeous looks, they would quickly turn their attention off once seeing Eras.

As he led them through the Clan compound, Eras suddenly decided to break the silence between them.

"If you're wondering about the social situation here, you don't need to worry. No matter your realm, we won't make unnecessary trouble with each other. During these times, we only have one goal to focus on."

"Soo….the war is really this somber, huh? Just how long have your two groups been at it?"

For the time since a while, Kali decided to speak up. She was admittedly a little bit curious now.

"Believe it or not, this all started just mere months ago. At first, we all were rightly confident for anything the Liang Tribe had to throw at us. But somehow….we've underestimated that tribe's bizarre power growth. And now, we've already been forced to this point."

Eras released a tired sigh recalling all of the severe hardships his Clan had to endure in just these months.

'The more I hear about it, the more this Liang Tribe seems decent enough.' Cain could feel his anticipation growing.

Barring past the brutality of the Kong Clan situation, Cain focused squarely on Kali and himself.

With all this supposed power that the Liang Tribe holds, he suspects they could take even greater advantage to grow their combat prowess significantly.
