The Chaos Dragon Prince
Chapter 75 - Living Quarters

As Cain followed behind Elder Mo, he began extending his Spirit Sense far out, scoping his fellow neighbors.

When coming here, Elder Mo had managed to skillfully avoid encountering anyone else, allowing them to quickly arrive at this garden-like field.

Now, Cain was curious about just the kind of neighbors he and Kali would be dealing with during their stay here.

Within a few short moments, Cain didn't sense anyone close around his general proximity. So even though there were other houses close to here, it appeared as if nobody was home at this moment.

A few miles farther than him, Cain finally sensed the other students here.

His eyes subconsciously widen just slightly over perceiving these students' powerful natural aura.

The people he sensed here were miles above all those he sensed at the entrance exam!

Cain's impression favorably grew for this place. To him, this is indeed quite impressive. 'At the very least, we can get a better workout and combat practice when fighting these other talented students. And this variety of cultivation level….certainly surprising. Spirit Opening, Nascent Formation, Profound Soul, and even what should be Innate Lord! With so many here, I do wonder….'

Going off from first impressions, this garden-like field seemed incomparably peaceful. The atmosphere was serene, as if no fight could ever break out within here.

But Cain wasn't so willing to believe that. Especially since these students are the upper top talents of the whole Crimson Sea Academy.

Pride and conflicting arrogance are sure to cause light or heavy conflict.

If this area was a more hostile zone, Cain certainly wouldn't mind. In fact, he'll replace that far more compelling than a calming environment.

Unable to suppress his brewing curiosity, Cain suddenly asked, "Elder Mo, a question? Does conflict often happen between students?"

"Oh this?" Elder Mo promptly shook his head. "Verbal conflict can indeed happen. But anything physical is strictly forbidden if it's not in the Martial Combat arena. If any student, no matter their rank, attempts to fight off grounds, they will be accordingly punished by the Disciplinary Lords. And we will know if any type of physical conflict were to happen. If you want to settle a debt, you must sign up at the Combat Selection area."

"I see." Cain calmly nodded. These rules made sense as it prevents any type of overt bullying on the surface level.

At the very least, he could see why students of varying cultivation levels can live so close by to each other.

If one wants to fight, they'll either do it live or sneakingly away from the Academy. And Cain didn't doubt at all that Crimson Sea Academy had the means to spy on them all.

Cultivators have all sorts of mystical abilities that seem like there's no end to it.

As Kali heard Elder Mo's explanation, she actually felt a little disappointed. When wanting to settle debts, she much prefers to do it right at that moment!

She felt there was no need to uselessly drag things on or engage in some worthless, flowery dialogue. Such things go against the principle of her own Draconic Pride.

The only solace she could take in is that they are allowed to willingly challenge other students.

After that short little talk, Elder Mo led for several more minutes. Soon enough, he arrived in front of two smaller but still, nice-looking houses placed only dozens of meters apart from each other.

"Oh? It seems we've already arrived."

Elder Mo suddenly stopped and turned over to Cain and Kali. He swiftly reached into his pocket and pulled out two dark blue badges with symbols of the sea inscribed on them.

Tossing both badges over to the sibling duo, Elder Mo told them, "These two houses will be your residencies. Just imbued a small bit of your Qi energy inside it, and you will feel an automatic link with your house. No one else can enter your home unless you are present with them. These badges also represent your status as true genius talent here. Wearing these in the open will give you numerous leeways."

Cain and Kali stayed silent as they caught the dark blue badges and immediately swept their Spirit Senses inside them.

After only a brief inspection, Cain and Kali were genuinely surprised. Their faces nearly betrayed their calm exterior, coming ever so slightly to showing shock within their eyes.

The reason for their near slip-up was because, inside this badge, they both sensed a vibrant stream of Spirit Energy!

And this wasn't any ordinary Spirit Energy. It was nearly at the same level as what they felt at the Illusion Heart Demon platform! '

Just how many connections do they have with World Spirit Force Masters? The book didn't detail any information about it.'

A sudden question made its way into Cain's mind. Before Elder Mo spoke again, Cain asked first, "Another question Senior. Are there any World Spirit Force Masters here? Or do the Academy have deep ties with the World Spirit Master Branch? My sister and I managed to luckily stumble upon Spirit Energy before, so we both can just barely identify the energy running within the badge and the illusion heart platform."

Hearing Cain's little story, Elder Mo briefly paused. Stewing on it for a moment, he didn't replace anything odd about it.

After all, extreme Martial talents like them would undoubtedly come across great lucky chances to further enhance their prowess.

Elder Mo then answered, "Within our Academy, we have no World Spirit Force Masters. We indeed have tight ties with the World Spirit Master Branch, though we can't get any of them to permanently work with us. The cost for their services is exceedingly high, even for the Academy. Still, with what we managed to buy is of great use."

"Hoh? Now that's interesting." Kali remarked with amusement dripping in her tone. When they eventually reveal their Spirit Energy, their benefits will undoubtedly increase by tenfolds.

Kali was half-tempted to just cut the middle man and reveal right there. However, she somehow managed to hold herself back, knowing the suspicion they would garner from that would be too great for her and Cain.

"If one day you manage to gain the funds for it, you as well can make a request from World Spirit Force Masters. Now then, all the rules and structure for the Academy and your rankings will be inside your homes along with the Academy uniform. Those are hefty explanations so read it all thoroughly. Farewell for now."

With all the explanations he needed to do finally finished, Elder Mo gave one last nod towards the sibling duo.

Then, before Cain's very eyes, he witnessed an incredible sight he had never seen before.

Elder didn't release even the tiniest portion of energy. And yet, he swiftly sprang up from the ground, flying high into the skies!

At Elder Mo's cultivation, he can naturally soar through the air like a majestic eagle. His flight process came as natural to him as simply running on the ground.

'The power of flight! Damn….it truly is just as amazing as I imagined it. With my cultivation speed, just how long will it take before I can spread my own wings?'

Cain's eyes sparkle in genuine awe. As he watched Elder Mo's rapidly disappearing form, he felt a burning drive smolder within him.

One day….one day he will be the unfathomable experts tearing the clouds like it was a walk-in the park.

That moment would be his one of the most defining experience in his goal to taste absolute freedom.

"Alright, alright! Put that Qi energy inside the badge, and let's get in, brother." Kali's words brought Cain back to reality.

Before doing as she said, he took a tiny breath. Everything needed to be completed one step at a time.

With his mind calmer, Cain then transferred a sliver of Qi energy inside his badge.

The badge glowed a slightly dark blue hue, and Cain promptly felt a connection form between him and the badge.

Afterward, Cain reached his house first, and the doors automatically opened for him.

As Cain and Kali walked inside, the sibling duo promptly gazed around the interior design.

The house was nicely designed and comfortably spacious. There was a single large comfy bed with clean black and white sheets and desks and chairs for an immediate studying area.

There was also only one bookshelf there that was arrayed various vital texts. The other pieces of furniture here were in the same elegantly designed pattern.

As Cain casually walked through the central room, he suddenly turned over to Kali.

Amusement danced within his eyes and voice as he said to her, "Well, well? Seems like you'll have to go back to sleeping on your own, Kali. We must use every advantage given to us after all."

"Eh. Like that really matters." Kali uncaringly shrugged her shoulders. "I much rather prefer sleeping with you, but I do suppose it would be more proper form to sleep in separate houses. Don't need snooping old people about our relationship."

"Right, that would be troublesome." Cain spoke while furrowing his brows just ever so slightly.

Really, to think they are this close. Their previous sleeping options were heavily limited, so it made sense to stay together.

But to think Kali actually prefers sleeping in the same bed with him. They truly do have a special sibling bond that transcends past all standard norms.

Entirely unaware of what was going through Cain's mind, Kali sat on a char and asked, "So, what's our next step? I already know it won't be anything exciting, though…."

"It sure won't be. But this is very much needed. For the next hour or so, we'll read up everything we need about this Academy. We may not be here for a while but it's best to avoid any unnecessary situations. Also, let's change our clothes." Cain swiftly explained.

Then he and Kali promptly got down to work.
