The Chaos Dragon Prince

"Yep! We sure are talented, Cain. In fact, I'm pretty sure by what we just showed today, we can shock almost everyone back at home." Kali had a slightly smug tone when talking.

Her eyes were shimmering with pride as she recalled that monumental scene of Cain so easily catching that seventh-level cultivator's blood essence sword.

Thinking back on it, Kali wasn't sure at all if she could recreate that.

Even if she was at the same level as Cain, Kali could fathom that neither her combat prowess nor bodily strength is that insanely high. All of this just shined a new light on Cain in Kali's eyes.

Of course, Kali had always respected her younger brother. But after that move, she gained even more respect and slight admiration.

When observing Cain's reaction, Kali could also spot the same amount of pride emerging within her eyes as well. It truly felt great to have someone almost constantly on the same wavelength.

But before either of them basked in their victories too much, Kali decided to put some things in perspective.

Her expression turned calmer, more analytical as she then said, "But let's not get too much of a big head, brother. You see, there are numerous special geniuses across all God Galaxies that can also skip levels. Of course, they're nowhere near as much as average cultivators or even the average genius, but they are there. Hell, all of our direct siblings have skipping combat prowess."

Kali's words caused Cain to quickly come down from his high of victory. His mind similarly turned critical about their talented combat prowess. Several questions popped into his mind as he then asked,

"I wonder then….you say there are not too many geniuses that can skip level, so there is some kind of ranking list for them? And what's the highest level somebody has ever skipped?"

"Let's see….well actually, it's very uncommon to encounter special geniuses who can skip levels. I mean, though our direct siblings can skip levels, it's only them in our whole younger generation that can achieve this. The only other person that has this talent is the Crown Prince. As for the highest level….not sure at all. In the mortal realm, it's pretty easy to describe. But for the divine realm? There are just too many factors that goes in with combat. At the very least, these geniuses can skip two small levels." Kali explained.

She wanted to go into more detail but what she knows is mainly from her grandfather. And since she had limited access to her own cultivation at that time, she could only go off from what she heard around their Palace.

Besides this way, Kali had no other options to turn to. None of her siblings or even her direct parents found it would do good to adequately explain it to her.

This is why Kali had a bit of a helpless look as she struggled to explain it more in-depth to Cain.

"Ah, very interesting indeed, but let's not focus on this too much, Kali."

Cain decided to stop Kali from thinking over this. He certainly was intrigued, but the divine realm cultivation won't come for a long time for them.

Focusing his mind on the present, Cain took a look around the campsite. His eyes crossed over the several tents here and then said to Kali, "Let's look around here. Since those people were claiming they're from some great power, they surely would have something valuable here."

Heeding Cain's words, Kali too began inspecting her sights around the campsite.

Truthfully, she didn't have that much hope in whatever they have here since the Liang Tribe seemed like an average tier power. But, she does recognize they are in need of information.

After a few short moments of looking around, Kali landed her sights on the largest tent in the campsite.

"Let's just immediately go for the biggest one here. Don't think the small fires will have anything that valuable."

Kali pointed her fingers to the tent while shrugging her shoulders.

Cain tossed his gaze in the same direction and gave a silent nod in agreement.

The sibling duo had then strolled over to the Leader's tent and walked right inside without any fear at all.

For a low-level area like this, it would basically be impossible for any group to have some sort of unique defense system. Aware of this, Cain and Kali didn't hesitate to go through everything in the Leader's tent.

While searching, Cain could admit the interior of the tent was top class.

At least, it is undoubtedly better than anything in his previous homeworld. Not that he ever was in an army camp before, but he does remember the pictures he saw online.

And as Cain took notice of the interior design, Kali immediately strolled right over to the only desk in the tent.

Upon the desk was a single spatial ring that looked like it was in the middle of being used.

An amusing thought crossed Kali's mind as she assumed they must've attacked while the Leader was busy with whatever he was doing.

Picking up the Spatial Ring, Kali used her Soul Sense to do a quick inspection.

Moments later, she promptly detected something intriguing. Pouring just a sliver of her Spirit Qi inside the ring, Kali directly grabbed what intrigued her the most.

A dim purple glow lit up the ring, and an orange orb appeared on the center of Kali's palm.

When seeing the orb, Kali's eyes immediately went wide-eyed. "So I guessed correctly. A beast core! This is great! And….there's even more of this in here."

"Hm? So you already found something good?"

Cain strolled up right beside Kali. His eyes gazed all over the beast cores, feeling a bit surprised.

This beat core had a unique design, with exotic-looking symbols inscribed at the center of it.

But more interesting than the design was the pulse of energy radiating off from the beast core. This energy felt entirely different to Spirit Qi. It felt far more wild and intense, as if he was getting sucked into a violent whirlpool.

At that moment, Cain started to recall what precisely a beast core is.

A beast core only comes out of powerful tier vicious beasts. Typically, only a peak tier vicious beast can develop a beast core.

The beast core would signify that the vicious beast is nearing the verge of breaking through to another tier. Unlike all other races in the universe, vicious beasts cultivate through their developing their beast cores.

None of them had any Qi Veins and only needed to gather energy to break through to the next realm.

The orange color orb in Kali's hands represented that the beast was equivalent to either a late or peak stage Spirit Opening cultivator.

There were many uses for beast cores. However, its most impressive uses are mainly for cultivation and can be helpful for even divine tier cultivators.

"Yea, it seems like the leader was better than we thought if he can get his hands on something like this."

Kali remarked in a slight impressive tone, her hands caressing around the Spirit Opening beast core.

Since the Leader had even a beast core in his ring, Cain was curious about what else he had.

He put his mind off the beast core for a moment and ask Kali, "Anything else interesting they have in there?"

"Hmmm….let's see…." Kali searched with her Soul Sense again.

The main thing this Spatial ring had was beast cores. But Kali did detect one item that had no energy following out of it. She pulled this item out, and a considerably big map appeared on her hands.

Spreading the map on the desk so both her and Cain could see, the sibling duo did a brief scan over.

A sense of elation filled them both as the map detailed the directions towards the Liang Tribe and the general area of some organization named the Kong Clan.

The map was exceedingly detailed. It showed where they were at currently and multiple routes and landmarks the sibling duo could take to travel around these woods.

"Well now, we finally got something to collect our bearings. Anything else useful?" Cain wasn't expecting that much more, but he was slightly hopeful.

Putting her Soul Sense back in the Spatial Ring, Kali did some more digging around. Unfortunately, this time, she didn't yield back great results.

"Eh. There are only like low-quality healing pills that we can honestly just rely on our dragon bodies over these pills. A bunch of other beast cores aaand….nothing else, really." Kali told with a nonchalant shrug.

With that cleared up, Cain's attention turned back on the beast core. He was vaguely aware of their many uses, but Kali didn't exactly explain it in full detail yet. So he decided to ask then, f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

"Alright then. For now, Kali, can you give me a quick rundown on what these beast cores can do again?"

"In simplest terms, they're used as exchange currency. But many would rather use these cores on themselves for cultivation. It's one of the quickest ways to gain energy, even faster than crystal beads. But these cores come with a great coss. These would mess up somebody's foundation even more than Crystal Beads. Still, with this, we can gain a stable income and preserve the Crystal Beads we brought."

Kali was just about to put away the beast core when she finished talking.

However, right as she began to do so, a sudden idea sprang into Cain's mind. He instantly recalled their Dragon Charms and their wondrous effects on cultivation.

Since their Dragon Charm can help them breakthrough by engaging in battles, couldn't this also help with the profound energy in beast cores or even Crystal Beads?

As far as he and Kali know, their grandfather never explained their Dragon Charm's full benefits and effects. So possibly, Cain believed he could find another great shortcut to their cultivation.

With a plan in mind, Cain stopped Kali, telling her, "Before you put that away, let me try something with the Dragon Charm."

Kali looked over to Cain, a bit confused for just a moment before her mind instantly connected the dots.

"Oh-Oh! So you want to experiment with this? I was thinking about this, but I don't really have a good grasp of the Dragon Charm. But, of course, you seemed better proficient with it, Cain, so here you go."

Muttering out thanks, Cain took the beast core into his hand and brought out his Dragon Charm from his Spatial Ring.

Like Kali assumed, Cain could indeed control the Dragon Charm far better than she can.

At this point, he could at least use his soul energy to stimulate the Dragon Charm, causing it to activate. Furthermore, he could also feel the sensations the Dragon Charm uses to speed up his cultivation.

In one hand was his Dragon Charm and in his other hand was the beast core.

Then, with a thought, Cain activated his Dragon Charm, and instead of letting its energy sensation flow into him, he carefully directed it towards the beast core.
