The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 33: Vicious Beast Cages

It didn’t take long at all for Eras to lead Cain and Kali through the Clan’s compound.

Despite its massive size, Eras knew precisely where to go. What also helped was the fact nobody decided to bother with them.

There had been the occasional higherups that sent more observant glances their way, obviously interested in Cain and Kali’s foreigner clothes.

However, because of the badges the sibling duo carried along with Eras’ presence, they deemed it not worth their extra attention.

Moreover, attributing to their lack of attention was how nobody in the Clan compound could perceive Cain and Kali’s cultivation. At most, they detected a weak aura unworthy of any extra thought.

These glances were only at the surface level.

Unlike how the Nascent guards heavily inspected Cain and Kali, nobody else took the time to truly peer into them.

If they did so, then undoubtedly, everyone would feel the terrifying slumbering sensation from the sibling duo.

After a few minutes of silently walking, Eras soon enough led the sibling duo towards an enormous field.

Cain and Kali’s eyes light up, promptly inspecting the field all over.

With just its sheer size, Cain nearly compared it to a football field in his previous world. Although this field was a few times larger.

Specifically for this field, the entire ground was covered in some kind of black metal material, contrasting the dirt ground all around the Clan.

Towards the end of the field held the most interesting things.

All the way at the end stood a tall, middle-aged man dressed in a higher quality red leather armor. On his right breastplate was a two-star symbol, indicating his higher status at just a glance.

Behind the man was something of even greater interest.

Numerous rows of enormous black metal cages were accordingly stacked on top or lined up next to each other.

Even from a fair distance away, Cain and Kali could vaguely spot what was slumbering within those cages. Their eyebrows curled as a slight surprise enter their eyes.

Somehow, this Clan managed to entrap those feral, vicious beasts within those cages!

These vicious beasts scarlett colored eyes brightly shined among the increasingly dim evening day.

Cain and Kali couldn’t accurately see just the kind of vicious beast they have locked up. But there wasn’t a single one that wasn’t at least over ten feet in height.

After the initial slight surprise, further intrigue swelled up in the sibling duo.

‘So, this Kong Clan does have skills….’ Cain and Kali thought to themselves.

With the completely berserk nature of vicious beasts, it obviously wasn’t easy to gather so many at one place.

Furthermore, the fact that these vicious beasts weren’t desperately trying to claw their way out of the cages spoke volumes already.

As Cain and Kali were distracted by the vicious beast’s cages, Eras settled his sights solely on the middle-aged man.

“Captain Liam! This may be sudden, but I have two promising recruits for you to test!” While walking up towards the middle-aged man, Eras shouted over to him.

Promptly, Captain Liam snapped his gaze over to them. Intrigue light up his eyes as he saw the observant Cain and Kali.

Before they even reached him, Captain Liam naturally inspected the sibling duo with his Qi Sense. And immediately, his eyebrows quirked.

‘I can’t sense them? And….and….wait, just what the hell is this?’

For a reason beyond his understanding, Captain Liam began to feel a sensation he rarely encounters in his life.

The feeling of getting close to a significant threat!

Just from Cain and Kali alone, these odd sensations started to gradually swell inside him. Captain Liam found it was like he approaching some dangerous slumbering beast.

But as quickly these sensations came, Captain Liam forced it down.

He kept his expression calm, merely passing off that strange occurrence as the stress getting to him.

After all, how could two people who barely have any strong presence possibly be a threat to him? To any Nascent Formation cultivator, the mere thought of feeling threatens by mere Spirit Opening cultivators is a ridiculous notion.

With his face entirely indifferent, Captain Liam gave a slight nod towards Eras.

Looking specifically at Cain and Kali’s hands, he identifies the badges before telling them, “Since you were given this, it seems you can skip several parts of the test already.”

Right then, Captain Liam took a slight pause to consider the following opinion.

And in that small moment, Eras’s eyes glowed in realization as he quickly said, “Ah, also Captain Liam, they can probably skip to the end of the test. They have already proved great strength by killing off Shao and his squadron. In fact, that’s how I’m still standing here.”

Upon hearing this, Captain Liam intently focused the sibling duo again. Their expressions was eerily calm even against his natural Nascent Aura, but Captain Liam only took slight notice of that.

Just as he was about to speak up, Cain reached into his pocket and pulled out Shao’s spatial ring.

Holding it high for Captain Liam, he calmly said, “Is this what you’re about to ask for?”

“This….it really is from the Liang Tribe….”

Captain Liam muttered out in a slight daze. He, of course, could readily identify the specific marking symbols inscribed on the spatial ring.

These symbols specifically describe that the one wielding this is an official high-ranking Liang Tribe member, being at least at the eighth level of the Spirit Opening realm.

‘So they really have this power? Then why….their aura, it’s just so strange.’

Captain Liam really couldn’t put two and two together. This sibling duo’s lack of a strong or really any aura at all contradicts this achievement.

The most Captain Liam could assume is that Cain and Kali are immensely proficient in controlling their Spirit Qi.

But, to such a degree where he, a Nascent Formation master, can’t even sense them? It was too difficult to accept.

However, no matter how peculiar this situation was, Captain Liam still has his duties to fulfill.

Since these two want to join their war, he has no other option but to accept them. And with everything he witnessed in just a short time frame, Captain Liam reached a swift conclusion.

“For this part of the requirement, I will analyze and record the vicious beast you choose to kill. This is for us to get a comprehensive look at your combat potential, seeing where you lie among our squadrons. You two can specifically go against the high-level tier vicious beast. As a note, we have vicious beasts equivalent to the peak of the Spirit Opening realm.”

“Oh?” Cain and Kali finally let a slightly different emotion show on their face.

Some excitement surged inside them, eager to test their might against the peak of their realm.

At this point, they were more than sure no other Spirit Opening being can ever hope to match them. But it doesn’t mean that fighting against one wouldn’t be an excellent way to stretch their bones.

Shao’s group barely register for even a warmup.

In the instance Captain Liam finished talking, Cain and Kali exchanged a knowing look with each other. Turning back over to Captain Liam, their lips curved upwards, and Cain said,

“We’ll both take on a tenth-level vicious beast.”

Even though Eras and Captain Liam was kind of expecting it, hearing it directly from Cain’s mouth still caused them to falter a bit.

There simply wasn’t hesitation in his response! Moreover, both Cain and Kali still had an expression filled with the utmost confidence.

While he may have shown evidence of his strength, Captain Liam still couldn’t help but cautiously warn, “Are you absolutely sure of this? Peak tier 1 vicious beasts is far harder to kill. At this stage, they too can send out basic Qi attacks. And their Qi attacks contain a slight berserk element that can sometimes be stronger than ours.”

Despite the warning, Cain and Kali’s expression never falters.

“No worries. We are completely sure. If you don’t mind, I’ll take on this test first.” Kali spoke up for the first time since coming here.

Her eagerness to fight, test her limits was even higher than Cain’s. She briefly sent a glance towards Cain, but when seeing that his expression conveys he doesn’t mind, her grin grew broader.

“If that’s what you wish for, then.” Captain Liam could only shrug at this point.

Maybe these two really can deal with a peak Spirit Opening vicious beast. He honestly wasn’t expecting much, but Cain and Kali admittedly raise his curiosity.

Pointing towards the center of the field, Captain Liam continued to say, “Stand and wait over there. And you can just wait on the sidelines.”

After explaining it to the sibling duo, Captain Liam turns his attention towards the vicious beast cage.

Cain and Kali exchanged a silent nod with each other before Kali walked off towards the center of the field.

All the while, Cain walked a bit back towards the sideline of the field.

Eras stood in a moment of contemplation before deciding to join in on obversing Kali’s test.

During this time, Captain Liam walked towards the far right side of the vicious beast cages, his Qi Sense shuffling through the options.
