Hours flew by, and the night quickly passed.
As the bright morning sun blazed down the entire Hiyashi estate, immensely shocking news spread like wildfire!
One of which is that top genius Wang will be having a friendly duel with young World Spirit Master Cain! Just this alone made all Vampires fervent with hope and excitement!
The manner of a friendly duel far differs from a Martial duel. This isn't a battle of extreme perception competition or a grudge match.
It was a duel of a status!
Their friendly exchange of points will broadcast that Cain's relations with the Hiyashi estate weren't flimsy at all. They could be seen as a good acquaintance in which both parties have varying levels of respect for each other.
Cain's willingness to participate in this friendly duel just showcases he doesn't mind his World Spirit Master status at all.
With this duel, all Vampires were optimistic about their status changing very soon.
When this news hit the City, even powerful Sects would reconsider all of their options before trying to attempt anything to the Hiyashi's estate.
The pressure of the World Spirit Master Branch is far too much for even the top four organizations, much less the weaker ones.
But even barring this duel, the other shocking piece of news had a more enormous profound impact.
That is, Amber is an official couple with World Spirit Master Cain!
A friendly duel was one thing, but direct ties with one of the Vampires' proudest daughters was a league in its own.
There wasn't a single person who dared to raise any mention of dissatisfaction over this relationship. Even the hopeful youths who had eyes on both Cain and Amber simply suppressed all fantasies deep within their Martial Hearts.
With these two factors overlapping, it wasn't any wonder why the entire Hiyashi estate is in a current state of uproar.
At the center of the Hiyashi's estate was one of the largest buildings within the Family.
It was of trademark blood-red designs and exotic Vampire markings.
Here was the Hiyashi's grand hall meeting. The area for when news that would affect the entire Family gets broadcasted.
Within the grand hall, nearly all Vampire clansmen gathered in their own Martial Duel arena.
The massive thousands of seats surrounding the center stage were filled up by eager-looking Vampires, all rapt with amped anticipation.
Discussions burst around the whole Arena, creating a deafening cacophony of noise.
"World Spirit Masters strength is definitely well known. But to think there one's who actually is a heaven-defying Martial Talent! Out of all of the legends, did this actually exist? I've read a lot but never seen it before."
"Hell, much less heaven-defying; I've never heard of one with at least Sky Ruler Martial Talent. Just imagine his terrifying strength when he grows up! No matter if it's Qi or Spirit, all of his bases are covered. And to think, young Spirit Master Cain has a connection with us!"
"Not just a connection. He's practically tied with us! And I still don't get how she did it! Miss Amber just seemed too aloof for anyone. I doubted even an Emperor's son could gain her attention. But young Spirit Master Cain achieved the impossibility."
"Indeed. She got a catch of a left time. Aiyaa~. If only I were in the Academy, I would've been the first to jump his bones!"
All manner of discussions revolves around something similar to this.
The peak of their anticipation was nearing; many wanted to see a blood-boiling battle that only a dual World Spirit Master can achieve!
"Ah! Look! Wang finally got here!"
Minutes after the audience seats were filled, Wang had finally appeared on stage. The light in these Vampire's eyes fervently increased.
Not because of Wang specifically but because the true star is about to arrive.
As Wang stood tall and proud upstage, he swept his gaze around the entire grand hall, focusing on their conversation.
Hearing all manner of conversation, Wang was greatly satisfied. 'Gao sure does work fast. If everything goes perfectly, we'll be changing the most from this duel.'
With his plan coming to fruition, Wang calmed himself. Even for just a friendly spar, he didn't dare underestimate Cain in the slightest.
A genius like him that laboriously forged his way until this point undoubtedly has his own pride. No matter what, he didn't want to so tragically lose against another Martial Talent several stages lower than his own cultivation.
If that were to happen, the defeat would be considerably brutal to sallow. It was the equivalent of trashing all of his long years of slowly cultivating.
Before Wang got too lost in thought, the wait for Cain wasn't long at all.
The audience made well sure he knew of his arrival.
"Ahh!! There he is, young Spirit Master Cain! I can feel his prestige from here!"
At the other end of a corridor, everyone could spot Cain and Amber calmly strolling out.
The young couple took their leisure with walking, going at a completely relaxed pace. Their steps emitted an indomitable prestige of supreme confidence. And their position showcased genuine feelings.
Under thousands of eyes, Amber was unabashed. Her arms lovingly attached around Cain's arms while her gaze showcased warm affection.
A handsome young lord and a beautiful young Vampire princess.
There couldn't be a more golden couple!
"Ahhh~! Just look at them! They're almost like a king and queen coming to address their audience."
"This isn't any ordinary momentum. But the momentum of people who can truly change the laws as they see fit."
Just from Cain's grand bearing, a single thought sparkled within all Vampires' minds.
Cain and Amber are the comings of sovereign geniuses! They were in a world far apart from them all….
"Hehe~. Are you really not trying to wow an audience? Look at these guys….they're all so crazy about you. Nothing less from my man." Amber teased, her soft smile not cracking at all on this grand stage.
With Cain by her side, it was like no pressure could be felt at all. Her link with Cain can clear it all away.
Listening to Amber, Cain wryly smiled. Before saying anything, he swept his gaze around the whole grand hall. He was vaguely impressed.
The size here was inferior to Crimson Sea Academy's Martial Arena. But the Aura infused in the air was far more distinct.
A weak Nascent Formation Master would find it hard to properly breathe, and their bloodstreams will slightly sizzle.
Indeed, this was the marking of a noble class Bloodline Family. A far more prestigious standard than just a simple Martial Arena Hall. One that ordinary mortal wouldn't be able to understand.
Taking his attention off from the audience, Cain then locked his gaze towards a corridor entrance just dozens of feet away from him.
Standing in front of this corridor was a charmingly beautiful young woman, Gao Hiyashi!
When Cain settled his gaze on her, Gao instinctively tossed her sights from Wang and matched Cain's gaze.
Immediately, Gao's face brightly lit up like the sun, her smile radiating like a star. She gave a friendly wave, all in good faith.
However, Cain barely regarded her, simply turning his attention away without a hint of a smile or a wave.
So bluntly disregarded would cause discontentment in ordinary geniuses' hearts. But Gao kept her sunshine smile, shifting her focus back on Wang.
"This noise all came from the power of status. Sit tight now. This fight won't take long."
As Cain spoke, Amber slowly untangled herself from his arm. She smirked and hushed him away with a silent gesture.
Not needing to be told twice, Cain swiftly jumped towards the Martial Stage, landing just around sixty feet from Wang.
"It truly is an honor to test me against a Heaven-defying talent such as yourself, Sir Cain. I'm sure you are similarly itching for a fight, right?" Wang immediately greeted Cain.
He gave a slight respectful bow while secretly circulating his Profound Qi and tracing his spatial ring.
Cain didn't make any grand gesture, only indifferently nodding, saying, "I certainly do enjoy a good fight. Let's enjoy ourselves."
In this instance, the audience started to hush down. Gazes were intent, not wanting to miss a single bit of this action.
High above the stage, the referee Elder glanced between Cain and Wang. Even for his old and wise age, a surge of anticipation couldn't be suppressed.
His tone even had a slight edge as he explained, "As this is just a friendly duel, both are you free to admit defeat whenever you want. There isn't any need to struggle to the bitter end."
Seeing both Cain and Wang calmly nod, the Elder slowly raised his hand. Anticipation continued to climb until he finally announced it.
"Begin!"
In an instant, Cain linked to his Chaos Energy and immediately erupted his Chaos Spirit Force!
At the same time, he surged both his Spirit and Astral Energy, causing his prowess to be amplified dozens of times.
Confident he may be, Cain will not cut corners for any battle. Because he has the option to instantly bring out his full power, he won't waste even a single moment in battle!
'Hu~!'
Energy blasted out of Cain like a violent hurricane, his entire body gaining a faint beautiful Chaos glow.
Sharp whistling sounds reverberated as the wind loudly howled!
"This-!"
Even as many Vampires were expecting it, they couldn't help but be shocked by this powerfully dense Aura.
Many Vampires, from Nascent Formation to Profound Soul, all found it incredibly harder to breathe.
The dense Energy warping the atmosphere was too fierce!
Gao felt her entier being gone rigid, her pretty eyes rapidly blinking.
Wang was in a similar complete state of shock, experiencing the full brunt of this terrifying pressure! His natural protective Profound Aura was on the verge of collapse.
The Energy of peak Profound Qi couldn't withstand Cain's monstrous strength!
This was the power of the Chaos Spirit Force. An Energy amplification technique that quite literally defies the will of the Heavens. It could be said that in this state, Cain's prowess amplified a few dozens of times!
Adding on to this was his base dense Qi Energy, Spirit Energy, and Astral Energy. Each Energy worked in perfect tandem to increase his strength.
This tremendous combination was more than enough to eclipse peak stage Profound Qi Energy!
And Cain didn't give anyone a chance to process for even a moment. Tracing his spatial ring, he flashed out his Spiral Sword, causing his powerfully dense Aura to be amplified by several degrees.
A beautiful golden glow instantly shimmered around the blade.
Waves of sharp Sword Energy, one that can slice apart stone with just a touch, crazily gushed out.
And with a simple slash of his Spiral Sword, a single golden sword light soared out at incredible speeds!
"Haah!!" Wang bellowed, his Energy rising at a lightning-quick pace.
As his Aura increased, so did Wang's appearance. His teeth started to shimmer as two large fangs grew, his crimson eyes sparkled, and two bat-like wings sprouted from his back.
Instantly, Wang unleashed his Soul Form!
Along with his Soul Form, Wang flashed out his own Earthen Spirit Weapon, a chilling blood-red blade.
In this moment, his Aura was amplified by three times.
The power of his Vampiric bloodline crazily surged, superimposing Wang's prowess to his absolute peak!
No matter what, Wang is still a genius in his own right.
He can both fuse with Sword Energy's intent for a more powerful attack and directly stimulate his bloodline latent strength, allowing for his prowess to crazily increase. In just one move, he decided to go all out!
Blood red lights burst from the sword, shooting into the sky, creating a scenery full of radiant crimson.
Fiercely gripping his blade to the point where veins bulged on his forehead, Wang loudly shouted.
"Blood Sweeping Earth!"
Swiping his blood-red blade, torrents of massive crimson sword lights discharged out!
Even before clashing, Wang's Aura attempted to clash against Cain's only to have zero success! It was drowned in the ocean titanic that was Cain's Chaos Spirit Force!
Then, an unfathomable scene occurred.
'Chiii~!!'
Cain's single golden sword light was invincible, unstoppable against all forces. The golden sword light effortlessly shredded the crimson sword light torrents, dispersing the Energy into complete nothingness!
And before Wang even had a chance to be surprised, Cain's golden sword light appeared meters from his face.
In front of this immense power, dodging was impossible. All of Wang's movements were tightly sealed, akin to an Energy Cage.
The pressure was tremendous, almost to a suffocating point!
With no other option, Wang amassed all of his Profound Qi, his blood-red sword brilliantly shining and swung down at lightning speed!
'Bang!'
Explosions of Energy recklessly sprayed, cracking the Qi material stone.
Golden glow completely overshadows any tace of crimsons forcing numerous Vampires to squint their eyes.
"Geeh!" Wang miserably coughed, his body soaring back as blood trailed from his mouth and arm.
His full power Protective Profound Aura, enhanced by both his Soul Form and bloodline Energy, shattered like fragile glass.
In just one attack, he was violently injured!
Even while flying, Wang's mental state fiercely shooked.
Just what the hell was this power?!?
At the very least, Wang believed he could exchange some moves before calling it quits. But in just one attack, he has to use all of his Profound Qi just to suppress this destructive Energy recklessly destroying his internal body.
But before Wang had a chance to recover, a powerful suppression like no other locked his entire body!
Wang's face instantly paled. Fear, fear like no other, exploded within his Martial Heart.
He for sure thought he was going to die right here!
'Zzzt!!'
Thunderous lightning blasted everyone's ears, fiercely shaking up their minds and Martial Hearts.
"Ahh?!? Look!!"
In this instance, all eyes couldn't look away from Cain. For as Cain stood tall in his glorious Draconinc Lightning state, his sword just inches away from Wang's neck.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Hours flew by, and the night quickly passed.

I'm sure you are similarly itching for a fight, right?" Wang immediately greeted Cain.He gave a slight respectful bow while secretly circulating his Profound Qi and tracing his spatial ring. Cain didn't make any grand gesture, only indifferently nodding, saying, "I certainly do enjoy a good fight. Let's enjoy ourselves."In this instance, the audience started to hush down. Gazes were intent, not wanting to miss a single bit of this action. High above the stage, the referee Elder glanced between Cain and Wang. Even for his old and wise age, a surge of anticipation couldn't be suppressed. His tone even had a slight edge as he explained, "As this is just a friendly duel, both are you free to admit defeat whenever you want. There isn't any need to struggle to the bitter end."Seeing both Cain and Wang calmly nod, the Elder slowly raised his hand. Anticipation continued to climb until he finally announced it. "Begin!" In an instant, Cain linked to his Chaos Energy and immediately erupted his Chaos Spirit Force!At the same time, he surged both his Spirit and Astral Energy, causing his prowess to be amplified dozens of times.Confident he may be, Cain will not cut corners for any battle. Because he has the option to instantly bring out his full power, he won't waste even a single moment in battle!'Hu~!' Energy blasted out of Cain like a violent hurricane, his entire body gaining a faint beautiful Chaos glow. Sharp whistling sounds reverberated as the wind loudly howled!"This-!" Even as many Vampires were expecting it, they couldn't help but be shocked by this powerfully dense Aura. Many Vampires, from Nascent Formation to Profound Soul, all found it incredibly harder to breathe.The dense Energy warping the atmosphere was too fierce! Gao felt her entier being gone rigid, her pretty eyes rapidly blinking. Wang was in a similar complete state of shock, experiencing the full brunt of this terrifying pressure! His natural protective Profound Aura was on the verge of collapse.The Energy of peak Profound Qi couldn't withstand Cain's monstrous strength!This was the power of the Chaos Spirit Force. An Energy amplification technique that quite literally defies the will of the Heavens. It could be said that in this state, Cain's prowess amplified a few dozens of times!Adding on to this was his base dense Qi Energy, Spirit Energy, and Astral Energy. Each Energy worked in perfect tandem to increase his strength. This tremendous combination was more than enough to eclipse peak stage Profound Qi Energy!And Cain didn't give anyone a chance to process for even a moment. Tracing his spatial ring, he flashed out his Spiral Sword, causing his powerfully dense Aura to be amplified by several degrees.A beautiful golden glow instantly shimmered around the blade. Waves of sharp Sword Energy, one that can slice apart stone with just a touch, crazily gushed out. And with a simple slash of his Spiral Sword, a single golden sword light soared out at incredible speeds! "Haah!!" Wang bellowed, his Energy rising at a lightning-quick pace.As his Aura increased, so did Wang's appearance. His teeth started to shimmer as two large fangs grew, his crimson eyes sparkled, and two bat-like wings sprouted from his back.Instantly, Wang unleashed his Soul Form! Along with his Soul Form, Wang flashed out his own Earthen Spirit Weapon, a chilling blood-red blade.In this moment, his Aura was amplified by three times.The power of his Vampiric bloodline crazily surged, superimposing Wang's prowess to his absolute peak! No matter what, Wang is still a genius in his own right.He can both fuse with Sword Energy's intent for a more powerful attack and directly stimulate his bloodline latent strength, allowing for his prowess to crazily increase. In just one move, he decided to go all out! Blood red lights burst from the sword, shooting into the sky, creating a scenery full of radiant crimson.Fiercely gripping his blade to the point where veins bulged on his forehead, Wang loudly shouted. "Blood Sweeping Earth!" Swiping his blood-red blade, torrents of massive crimson sword lights discharged out!Even before clashing, Wang's Aura attempted to clash against Cain's only to have zero success! It was drowned in the ocean titanic that was Cain's Chaos Spirit Force!Then, an unfathomable scene occurred. 'Chiii~!!' Cain's single golden sword light was invincible, unstoppable against all forces. The golden sword light effortlessly shredded the crimson sword light torrents, dispersing the Energy into complete nothingness! And before Wang even had a chance to be surprised, Cain's golden sword light appeared meters from his face. In front of this immense power, dodging was impossible. All of Wang's movements were tightly sealed, akin to an Energy Cage.The pressure was tremendous, almost to a suffocating point! With no other option, Wang amassed all of his Profound Qi, his blood-red sword brilliantly shining and swung down at lightning speed!'Bang!' Explosions of Energy recklessly sprayed, cracking the Qi material stone. Golden glow completely overshadows any tace of crimsons forcing numerous Vampires to squint their eyes. "Geeh!" Wang miserably coughed, his body soaring back as blood trailed from his mouth and arm. His full power Protective Profound Aura, enhanced by both his Soul Form and bloodline Energy, shattered like fragile glass.In just one attack, he was violently injured! Even while flying, Wang's mental state fiercely shooked.Just what the hell was this power?!? At the very least, Wang believed he could exchange some moves before calling it quits. But in just one attack, he has to use all of his Profound Qi just to suppress this destructive Energy recklessly destroying his internal body.But before Wang had a chance to recover, a powerful suppression like no other locked his entire body! Wang's face instantly paled. Fear, fear like no other, exploded within his Martial Heart.He for sure thought he was going to die right here! 'Zzzt!!' Thunderous lightning blasted everyone's ears, fiercely shaking up their minds and Martial Hearts."Ahh?!? Look!!" In this instance, all eyes couldn't look away from Cain. For as Cain stood tall in his glorious Draconinc Lightning state, his sword just inches away from Wang's neck.
