The Chaos Dragon Prince-Chapter 64 - Dark Horses From No Background

"D-Dark purple glow….thi-this color… .wouldn't this mean….Peak Sky Ruler?!?"

One Senior Inner student couldn't take the silence anymore. His mind blurted what his rational mind was trying to desperately comprehend.

And once this shout echoed out, the whole courtyard exploded into a cascade of chaos!

"Sky Ruler! A genuine Sky Ruler talent! And from her aura, her chances are insanely high?!"

"Is this girl truly unknown? This is just too freakish! She just has to be from somewhere…."

Out of everything, Kali's origins was the most mind-boggling to students and examinees alike.

How can such a tremendous promising talent like this fly under the radar for this long? But, taking a step back, how can such a talent foster under far miserable conditions than being in a sect?

Rarely and we're talking, very rarely can a no background cultivator become a shining rising star.

This wasn't entirely bias as well.

After all, it is common sense that no other places have supreme resources like Sect Organizations.

Resources that come in various ways and even have the means to permanently enhance one's Martial talent. Even distinguished class-level Families have a small number of great resources.

Without this, all that is left for a cultivator is their own Martial Talent.

Just really, did this young girl genuinely achieve all of her accomplishments on her own?

This feat is simply too freakish for anyone to wrap their heads around.

"Just….who is she….?!" Zhao Tan, the once stone-hearted top-tier talent, couldn't suppress a max of boiling emotion.

Shock, envy, enmity all crashed into his mental psyche at the same time.

He gripped his fists with such frantic intensity that he threatened to break open his skin. Without any prior warning, all at once, his dashing momentum was shattered to thousands of pieces.

What about his Nascent Aura?

What about his mere Innate Lord talent?

None of that means shit against a supposed peak Sky Ruler Talent!

The Sky Ruler realm is only for the true Dragon and Phenoixes among men and women!

There wouldn't be any average cultivator at that high level of power. A cultivator's entire state of being experience a massive evolution that couldn't be described in mere words.

And such a phenomenon has a high chance of happening with some random young girl. Not a great genius like him, who comes from a wealthy and distinguished background.

No, but a girl two levels under him.

Zhao Tan rarely felt envy towards anyone in his generation. But today was the first exception.

And little did he know this was only the first part of mind-breaking news.

'Haah….this girl. She actually did heed my words….' Cain internally sighed to himself.

He nearly rolled his eyes from seeing how much Kali was reveling in making Lower Realms people fuel her already massive ego.

Though he does understand that basking in the limelight is genuinely enticing. Hell, even he wants this kind of shower of praise from to time. If they have the power, why shouldn't they show off a little bit?

In a way, this was also living out his best life.

'Still, our talent truly is overpowering. This girl actually barely used any energy and still went ahead and got Sky Ruler. This begs the question, though….just what is her or even my true talent? I doubt whatever these lower realm people have can accurately judge us.'

For now, Cain simply decided to see how this situation plays out.

In any case, they can just show enough to gain a secure position within the Academy. And make it so it's just enough to not gain any unwanted extra suspicions.

"Mn? Oh….this girl…."

Suddenly Cain felt Kali's eyes lock directly on him. As the sibling duo crossed gazes, they both could tell everyone still had their eyes on her.

Using this incredible momentum, Kali brightly smiled and raised a thumbs up at him.

Anyone seeing this would immediately begin to guess there's some kind of connection between them.

'And from there, when brother performs the same, our reputation will amplify together.' A devious glint that no one else could possibly notice shimmered within Kali's eyes.

Oh, most certainly, she and her dear brother will gladly enjoy their short days here.

"You-you…."

At that moment, Kali snapped her attention back to Elder Mo as he suddenly called out to her.

Elder Mo had an unreadable expression. For all the trials and tribulations he watered through, this young girl was confusing his mind the most.

Suppressing all of his riled-up thoughts, Elder Mo said in a slightly strained tone, "Certainly, this was an outstanding performance. You can just wait by the others who similarly passed."

"Mnh. Thanks."

Kali offered a curt of slight respect. Since it is only temporary, she doesn't honestly mind showing old-aged Mortals a little kindness.

Their power still is enough to crush her despite her insanely high Martial Talent.

Then, without another world, Kali walked off to the passed examinee section.

As she got close, nearly everyone took a wide breadth.

This freak of a Martial Talent....how could they ever dare of standing next to her?

They were only average among average. The highest their results went up was only peak Nascent Formation or half-step Profound Soul realm.

Absolutely utterly nothing against a genuine Sky Ruler talent!

The only youth who didn't shrink away in complete fear was Zhao Tan. He openly stared daggers into Kali's back as if he wanted to see through her secrets.

'I suppose it's my turn. Now I can't let her outdo me.' Cain made a snapped decision. He swiftly strolled up to the beast totem pole without any hidden reservations.

Since the route of noise is what they will go down, Cain will gladly deal with everything that comes with it!

"Hey….that guy is going up. You saw their little interaction before? Something is certainly up with them!"

"You don't think it's possible this guy has some real talent too, right? That would be…."

"It-it just can't be! Perhaps they're simply friends and nothing else."

As Cain went up to the beast's totem pole, hundreds of eyes gathered onto him. With Kali's suffocating performance, who would dare to outright ignore Cain now?

Unknowingly, students and examinees alike set some form of expectation upon Cain. This guy has the connection to that freakish young girl. Then surely, his Martial Talent undoubtedly can't be average.

Within their merciless, unforgiving society, rarely would a person become allies with those that are under them.

Most of them the time, people didn't see it as any realistic gains. Some saw it as a troublesome burden that they didn't want to deal with. While others outright hold heavy contempt to all those lower than them.

Considering all these factors, many jumped to the conclusion Cain just had to be a bit special.

This conclusion was close and yet so far from the truth.

At this time, Cain stopped at the beast totem pole. He ignored all surrounding discussion, Elder Mo's prying eyes and other intent gazes locked on him.

Raising his palm, Cain gushed out his Nascent Qi and Nascent Aura!

'Hu~!'

All conversations suddenly cease to exist. Everyone in the courtyard shut their mouths, standing rooted with rapt attention.

A bone-chilling breeze swept past everyone as an immense Nascent pressure descended upon them all like an angel from heaven! 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Nobody tried to even talk. Cain's Nascent Aura was that suffocating. Far more suffocating than anything Kali could emit.

Just by looking in the surrounding air, anyone could witness harsh dark blue lights rippling across. By relying on his aura alone, Cain was causing a bigger phenomenon than Kali could ever hope to achieve.

And before anyone could try to react, Cain was already moving.

Just like Kali, he summoned a tiny portion of his purest Nascent Qi, birthing a single strand of it to rise from the center of his palm.

Upon forming the Nascent Qi strand, Cain's overall prowess explosively amplified!

In just that brief moment, he showcased a massive disparity between himself and all other youths.

Nearly all of the remaining examinees couldn't suppress a suffocating tightening in their chest, leaving their throats dry and forehead pouring with cold sweat.

Inner and outer students alike felt as if something tight forcefully gripped their necks.

And even Zhao Tan felt his body quiver from an instinctive fear. His pupils heavily contracted.

The sheer density of Cain's Nascent Qi….was this is even still human?!

Zhao Tan couldn't say why. But he felt like he was staring at a ferocious beast in beautiful human skin than just a merely talented genius.

And this fleeting moment quickly passed.

Because right then, Cain heavily struck the beast totem pole!

With a loud 'Bang!' the beast totem pole violently shook as Cain's Nascent Qi penetrated inside.

Nobody needed to wait even a split second.

The beast totem pole instantly ignited in a dreadful dark purple glow!

Dark purple glow.

Everyone was stunned silly without having the proper moment to process anything.

Just before, people were assuming Cain would be a tad special. But for him to also be an extreme talent? That's a little too much of an exaggeration!

And yet, here they were now.

"You-you have to be….another Sky Ruler Talent?!?"

This shout caused another explosive chain event!

"Just where?! Just where do these two come from?!"

"Not one but two dark horses! Has such an event ever happened before??"

Within all the commotion, Kali had her arms crossed with a satisfied smirk. She felt several particular overly intent and slightly hostile gazes land on her before seemingly turning their attention on Cain.

Already making predictions about the future within her mind, Kali was itching for when the last part of the exam would start.

'It seems we'll need to go the old tradition to truly convince lowly mortals of what real strength is….'
