The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 80: Astral Energy

Upon taking out their Dragon Charms, Cain and Kali promptly felt a refreshing sensation wash over them. An abundance of their previous tension rapidly vanished. Their eyes slightly widened in surprise.

Focusing their gazes, the sibling duo saw that their Dragon Charms was already shimmering a faint white glow.

'This….' Cain and Kali weren't expecting this.

Without even having to stimulate it themselves, the Dragon Charm activated on its own. Something like this never happened as far they recalled.

But before Cain and Kali could think upon it, an immediate change occurred within their bodies.

At this moment, a sliver of the Dragon Charm's energy drilled into the sibling duo and quickly spread throughout their internal body.

The Dragon Charm's energy ignored the Wind Energy completely. Or, more accurately, the Wind Energy couldn't affect the Dragon Charm at all.

Without anything stopping it, the Dragon Charm energy latched on to the remnants of Astral Energy that was slowly absorbing into Cain and Kali's organs.

As the Dragon Charm white energy quickly wrapped around the gray Astral Energy, an incredible scene privy to no one occurred.

The Dragon Charm energy managed to completely seize Astral Energy, preventing it from disappearing!

It didn't matter at all about Astral Energy's unique properties. Under the hold of Dragon Charm energy, it was simply impossible to escape.

Because both Cain and Kali had yet to begin the Astral path of cultivation, their Dragon Bodies are unsuited to absorb Astral Energy properly.

No matter how high their innate Martial Talent is, it couldn't overcome something that is currently biologically impossible. This is why Astral Energy is slow to absorb, and most of it gets wasted.

However, these issues were now negated thanks to their Dragon Charm. The special powers lying dormant inside the Dragon Charm is genuinely Heaven-Defying in itself.

It was enough to overcome the biological difference of Astral Energy, allowing Cain and Kali to take massive leaps towards the Astral path of cultivation.

And as the remaining Astral Energy inside them was quickly absorbed into their organs, Cain and Kali's bodies violently shook.

"Oh? Good energy!"

Neither sibling could suppress their utter awe. The power from Astral Energy was fantastic! It felt equally as powerful as absorbing a bunch of pure Qi energy at once.

Cain and Kali could quite literally feel all of their muscles strengthening at sonic speeds.

By just a flex of their arms, the sibling duo heard their joints crackle like thunderous lightning strikes.

If they were to punch a large boulder, Cain and Kali were sure they could shatter it to bits without any Nascent Qi at all!

This moment was truly breathtaking. Compared to simply using Qi energy, Astral energy gave a different type of dopamine feeling.

Now, their bodies are even more dangerous than before.

Cain could already see just how much more terrifying they can grow under Astral Energy. Even the ordinarily arrogant Kali was deeply impressed by this incredible surge of physical strength.

"Fuuu~! What a rush!" Kali was overjoyed with glee. She barely had any thoughts of advancing through the First layer now. "Say, Cain? Should we just sit our asses right down here and absorb as much of this energy as we can? Who knows, maybe we can also create that Core that girl briefly mentioned."

Hearing this, Cain was highly tempted to do so. If they could approach the limit of this level of physical strength, their combat prowess would most likely be elevated to another horrifying degree.

At this moment, Cain nearly opened his mouth to agree. But as he formed one thought, his rational side suddenly surfaced within his mind.

Would rushing to their limits really be alright?

All it seemed good on the surface, but Cain had inking suspicions about Astral Energy. 'Just like with Qi or Spirit Energy, we need to take out times with both of those energies to not harm our foundation. This Dragon Charm has its own cheat-like means, allowing it to bypass what probably most talented cultivators can't achieve. If we rush this, we may end up getting unintentional negative effects.'

Towards anything in this universe, it is always Cain's nature to be a bit more on the cautious side of situations.

Risks and taking chances certainly are good. Hell, Cain fathoms that it's probably a significant deciding factor on how far a cultivator can grow.

But at the same time, Cain also came to the conclusion that the slower, the better for cultivation.

The only reason he and Kali could speed through the early realm of cultivation is that their cheats are too overwhelming.

These overwhelming cheats, however, are becoming significantly slower as they progress through the Nascent Formation realm.

As special as Cain is, he still needs to take a great time to stabilize breakthroughs. And he also needs to refine his foundation on each new subsequent level to absolute perfection for a more powerful breakthrough.

Thinking about all of this, it's clear as day that rushing Astral Energy without the whole picture can end up being a disastrous consequence.

And Cain didn't want to take any unnecessary risks that could potentially harm them to the point where his Chaos Energy may not be able to fix it.

It indeed felt disappointing. But Cain knew being calm was for the best.

Before answering Kali, Cain relaxed, letting a serene breath slip from his mouth. He then told Kali, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm sure you can also imagine the risks of attempting to rush Astral Energy without a proper foundation. So let's do it like this. We'll keep the Dragon Charm out only for passive absorption and continue on towards the Second layer. Remember, we still need to train our movement."

"Ahh….haah~."

Kali's once joyful glee swiftly simmered down. Her own rational side caught up to her as well. No matter how much she wanted to argue against Cain, she really couldn't deny his points.

He, as usual, made reasonable sense.

In the end, Kali could only definitely snort, saying, "Hmph, fine. I'd rather not screw up something because we got sway by a little temptation of power."

"Right. Now let's…."

Before Cain finished his sentence, he picked up on a peculiar feeling. Standing against the violent tempest of the Wind energy, he now strangely didn't feel much pressure or pain at all.

In an instance, Cain connected the dots on this meaning. His Dragon Charm can also alleviate the challenge of this training room!

Cain took a small step forward and immediately noticed it was far easier to maneuver his body.

The Wind to him now was more like a harsh breeze than crushing suppression weight.

It was at that moment, a whole new world of possibility opened before Cain's very eyes.

'If the Dragon Charm has this effect with a weaker independent space, I can only imagine what it can do with a stronger training realm! Even just currently speaking, we can train at a better rate here!'

Cain was honestly blessing his great luck and fortune. He has done it countless times already. But he felt like he really needed to stress how many fantastic abilities he has that would make even his Royal Dragon family go green with envy.

His only hope is that none of this incredible luck turns on him and comes to bite him in the ass one day.

"By the joyous look, you also noticed the other effects too? Haha! I'm also imagining the endless possibilities with this!"

Kali remarked as she casually paced around their small area. Now she was even more eager to break right through this First Layer.

At that moment, Cain matched his gaze with Kali, causing her to stop.

The sibling then simultaneously smirked, turned forward, and shot off far into the mountain valley!

A slight loud noise echoed from behind them, directly clashing with the roaring noise of the chaotic Wind.

Cain and Kali's speed had monstrously increased. These two left after imagines in the wake of their speed. No other seventh or even eighth-level Nascent Formation young talent would be able to catch a glimpse of them.

As Cain and Kali rush through the Stormy Tunnel, they had eventually overtaken other Wind attributed students training here.

These students all ranged from the late level of Nascent Formation to even the Profound Soul Realm!

Yet when the sibling duo passed them, most of them could only catch a trace of their afterimages!

"That! Just what was that? Did Innate Lord Seniors come to train today?"

One Core level student called out as he and his friend watched Cain and Kali flash right ahead of them.

"Is it really….wait….no…." The other Core level student shook his head. "I only sensed a trace of their aura, but those two aren't even close to the Innate Lord realm. But also, they were just too fast, so I couldn't properly sense their level."

"Then just who the hell could it be? Among us Core levels, there aren't many who are so greatly proficient in Wind energy. Maybe whoever passing are ran reclusive pair…." The Core level student could only make these faint assumptions.

And it was the same with all other students who even managed to catch the sibling duo blasting ahead of them.

If it wasn't that they had to intently concentrate on their own training, many of these students would be willing to see just how far these mysterious two students can go.

At this time, Cain and Kali already reached several hundred meters deep into the First Layer of the Stormy Tunnel. Their hand tightly clutched their Dragon Charms, making sure it didn't even slightly leave their grasps.

All Wind energy that tore into their bodies emitted an abundance of Astral Energy that their Dragon Charm greedily absorbed into their organs, flesh, and bones.

Cain and Kali's physical strength rapidly grew. And as their strength enhanced, their speeds similarly increased.

Furthermore, the Wind energy terrifying pain that nearly threatened to slice their organs apart alleviated to a point where it felt like a mere scratch.

Like this, the sibling duo soared towards the borders of the Stormy Tunnel First layer.

Then, after several minutes of unending running, Cain and Kali narrowed their gazes at a strange sight.

The borders of the First layer were right in the sibling duo's sight.

And out of all their expectations, they witnessed a colossal layer of an unknown black substance completely separating the borders.
