Chapter 133 - A Single Flick
\'How-how is his Energy so dense?!?\' Adam was in utter hell. It was incredibly tough to breathe or even just to stand!
His protective Half-Step Profound Aura was utterly shredded like fragile paper. Every inch of Cain\'s powerful, dense Energy drilled right into him, locking him into a pressure like no other.
A cultivator\'s Aura isn\'t a true determination on whether or not they\'re more powerful. But there were times when a cultivator\'s Aura could be simply overwhelming.
And Adam was currently facing this nightmarish, rare case.
This just didn\'t make any sense for him or for anyone else.
Was it really possible to gain this kind of dense Qi Energy just in the Nascent Formation realm?!
When Adam reached Half-Step Profound Soul, it wasn\'t merely that he could grasp half of Profound Qi Energy. He had also used what he could grasp to refine part of his Q Seed!
This allowed him to gain an Aura that was half infused with Profound Qi Energy, hence a Half-Step Profound Soul Aura.
No matter if the peak Nascent Formation Master was invincible among the entire realm, they wouldn\'t be able to make even a dent in Half-Step Profound Soul Aura.
But Cain didn\'t just make a dent; he went full-on shattering!
His Aura was clearly just Nascent Qi Energy, meaning this was all simply his own personal strength. No trick or anything was being used!
A fact that the rest of the audience was quickly picking upon.
"This-who\'s the fool that said Cain had hidden impurities?! Just where are they now?!"
"His Martial Comprehension is insane! The number of insights he achieved in Qi Energies, who knows how many he has?!"
The pathway to gain dense Qi Energy wasn\'t unknown. It was stated in various textbooks passed down from generations of cultivators in hopes one can achieve some form of enlightenment or at least broaden comprehension.
Within Martial Comprehension, there is a unique phenomenon called insights of Qi Energy. These insights were extremely complicated Energies properties hidden deep inside Qi and were far more powerful.
The ancient texts didn\'t precisely describe just what were these Energies properties were. Moreover, these sources differentiate across from each other, and some deviate entirely from one another.
The only trace of familiarity between these sources is that these Energies propitiates holds the mysterious truths closely or even directly related to the Laws governing the entire World!
On its own, this statement sounded powerful enough.
The Laws governing the entire World, many assume it could only mean the Energy that made up their very planet.
Controlling this type of Energy, it would make sense why great transformers occurred.
If one could comprehend these insights, they would be able to infuse it into their base Qi Energy, gaining a heavy, dense property!
This is but one of the ways heaven-defying geniuses could fight above their level. Their comprehension was that extreme that they could grasp insights into Qi Energy.
This is also why it\'s exceedingly rare to come across any heaven-defying geniuses within their City.
Not even Sky Ruler or Sage Core Martial Talents have even the slightest hope of comprehending Qi Energy\'s insights. The Mental Psyche needed was at a level where one could properly perceive their Soul\'s Core.
And with all the immense trouble there is surrounding Soul\'s Core comprehension, it\'s no wonder why heaven-defying geniuses are a mere myth to them.
But apparently, this is not some mere myth.
Right before their very eyes, Cain not only achieved a legendary myth, but he\'s also running utterly wild with it!
Nearly all students\' Martial Hearts jolted upon realizing this extreme sense of disparity.
Just how could they as average students or an average genius compete with this heaven-defying level of Marital Comprehension….
"I….I guess I really should stop second-guessing them…." At one of the audience seats, Lei Li let loose a long sigh.
Kali was utterly right, and she felt like an utter fool for still doubting her. Even as there was nothing wrong with her common sense, she indeed shouldn\'t apply that to either of them. Doing so would be just a tremendous mistake.
"Wha-what is this….this feels nearly as frightening as Qiao Fen\'s Aura…." At another spot, Leon practically stared down at Cain with bugged eyes.
He\'s already cracked Martial Heart further crumbled into pieces. It\'s simply impossible to ever try going against a heaven-defying Talent!
And at this moment, on the Martial Stage, Cain slowly made a move.
His Lightning-covered arm slowly raised, causing the air to quietly whistle around him. Every mere movement of his caused a reaction in the environment. All of it stemming from his powerfully dense Energies.
It truly felt like Cain could flip over the clouds with just his palm!
And performing a mocking gesture with his finger, Cain decided to put on a show to maximize his fame.
"What\'s the matter? Aren\'t you going to perform your job? You were paid to fight me, right? Come now, no need to hold back against me."
Cain\'s tone completely mocked Adam. The more domineering his performance, the more he\'ll be treated as an actual threat by those prideful Core level students.
"You-you-Ah! So what about your comprehension! Hah!!"
Adam bellowed out in fear, surging out all the strength from his Qi Seed! Half-Step Profound Qi vigorously poured out of his body and attempted to clash with Cain\'s Energies.
A faint fiery glow swirled around him, causing the temperature to promptly boil. Sizzling smokes raised from his feet as he burned the Qi Stone underneath him.
This was the full strength of Half-Step Profound Qi!
But, despite using his full strength, Adam\'s phenomena were immensely suppressed.
Compared to how Cain was making the wind whip around his finger, Adam\'s Aura was nothing but a small pebble drowning in an ocean.
Just like students and Elders expected, Adam\'s couldn\'t possibly make up for the difference in heaven-defying Martial Talent. His defeat was inevitably in their eyes.
Many could only shake their heads in honest sympathy.
"Tch! Still so confident?! Then take my blade!"
But of course, how could someone as prideful as Adam so readily accept getting surpassed?
In this instance, he flashed out a peak Elite Grade Mortal Sword and fervently poured all of his strength into it!
Brilliant fiery sword lights spewed out from the blade as Adam\'s Aura rapidly soared. His whole blade was engulfed in raging flames.
Adam\'s prowess amplified by a few degrees. Any other average Half-Step Profound Soul warrior would treat him with great caution.
However, this still wasn\'t enough.
Sensing this extreme sense of disparity, a maddening look burst within Adam\'s eyes. If he\'s going to be defeated, then he has to cut Cain down in some way!
"Blazing Sunrise!"
Fire Energy exploded out of Adam, intensifying his sword\'s flames. In just a moment, a miniature fake sun vaguely formed at the tip of his blade.
This miniature sun was just a mere faint image, but the power behind it was immense! Adam\'s strength instantly increased again!
"Ah? Isn\'t that a peak 3rd Grade Human Martial Skill! Did Senior Brother Adam actually comprehend that after not appearing for months?"
"Of course he did! Senior Brother Adam\'s control over Fire Energy was already amazing. And now he had touched upon the sun fire level of the Blazing cultivation manual! The strength he can show is doubled!"
The Blazing cultivation manual is a well-known peak 3rd Grade Human manual.
This was a manual created by an ancient Sage Core ancestor. If one comprehends this Art to full completion, they\'ll be able to form a miniature sun right in their hands!
Of course, Adam was far from that terrifying level. But he could at least utilize a trace of powerful sun Fire Energy.
These sun flames couldn\'t be compared to any mere average Fire Energy. The intensity and power behind it can melt away any regular flames!
Under normal circumstances, seeing this Martial Skill would\'ve astounded the whole audience.
However, only pity filled people\'s minds.
"This may be powerful. But….Cain\'s density is still far outstripping it."
"Die!!" Adam didn\'t care about the disparity or all other comments.
His peak Mortal Grade Sword shot forth at unbelievable speeds, fiery sword lights filled the skies, melting parts of the Arena Stage.
In this instance, a torrent of fiery sword lights soared straight at Cain, and at the front of this inferno stream was a faint image of a miniature sun!
This was the full strength of a trace of sun flames, a power that can instantly turn any genius peak Nascent Formation masters to ashes!
Facing this great strike, Cain\'s faint smile didn\'t even twitch.
He simply flicked his Lightning encased fingers, shooting out a small blue light of Lightning Energy.
\'Hu~!\'
Such a small light of Energy actually released an unfathomable pressure! Thunderous booms akin to Lightning strikes drilled into everyone\'s eardrums, jolting them from even hundreds of feet away.
And at this moment, the small stream of Lightning Energy clashed against the inferno Blazing Sun!
\'Chiii~!\'
There weren\'t any great explosions, only an ear-piercing sound of something akin to paper getting shredded to bits.
The Lightning Energy stream was unhindered, losing zero momentum after tearing Adam\'s Fire Energy into tiny wisps of flames.
Helpless filled Adam\'s bones. He could only stare with utter despair as his vision was engulfed in a blinding blue light.
\'Bang!\'
The Lightning Energy tore right through Adam\'s shoulder, unleashing a horrifying trail of blood into the wind.
"Ahh!!"
Adam\'s bloodcurdling scream echoed out in the Martial Arena as he was sent flying out of the stage.
His body crashed on the surrounding field like a broken ragdoll, splashing blood everywhere like a fountain stream!
Adam couldn\'t even move after slamming the ground; Lightning Energy rampaged within him, sealing all of his movement.
He, a legendary Half-Step Profound Soul genius, was instantly defeated in such a pathetic fashion….
At this moment, the entire Martial Stage fell into suffocating silence.
The Elder overseeing the match and several invisible figures high into the skies all stared with bewildered eyes straight Cain.
