The very instance the Lightning Spirit made contact with Cain's body, the Spirit Circle beneath him activated, igniting in a brilliant glow! 

Streaks of two of form energies discharged, swirling around the whole room.

As Cain felt the Lightning Spirit infused into his body, he kept his Mental Psyche incredibly focused. Foreign, new Lightning energy he never felt before whirlwind inside his dantian while his Spirit Sense detected the purest Spirit energy flowing around him. 

Before Cain could make any decision, the Lightning spark within his Qi Origin Seed suddenly trembled! 

Waves of Draconic Lightning energy discharged, soaring straight towards the new invasion of purple Lightning Spirit.

Instead of any pain or struggle, the waves of Draconic Lightning energy engulfed the small Lightning Spirit and pulled it straight towards Cain's Lightning spark. 

Engulfed by Draconic Lightning energy, the Lightning Spirit couldn't resist at all.  It was entirely suppressed by a far higher order of Lightning power! 

After all, this was Draconic Lightning energy, energy comprehended by the ancient supreme Dragon Elders!

These ancient supreme Dragon Elders all had extreme attainments with Lightning Laws, far surpassing anything a Lower Realm could produce. 

Because of this, when these Dragon Elders crafted the Draconic Lightning Arts, they made it entirely from their perception of Lightning Laws.

All that Cain had perceived so far was barely touching upon the foundation of his Dragon Elder's Lightning Laws.

But even with just this slight bit, it was more than enough to easily absorb the Lightning Spirit! 

As the Lightning Spirit assimilated into his Lightning spark, Cain felt a new wave of Lightning energy invade his Mental Psyche. Clenching his teeth, gripping his fists to the point his nails dug into his flesh, Cain put his all into his perception.

'This Lightning energy…it's so pure and…calm. Almost like I'm walking close to the richest part of nature. To think Lightning could be so full of life. And as for this Spirit energy, it similarly has this life-like sensation. But this feels far more related to my Soul…'

Just reaching this understanding was immensely taxing for Cain. His Soul Core was working hard, continually gushing out streams of Soul energy into his Mental Psyche so he can engrave these new perceptions forever. 

At the same time, Amber's face was paler. Sweat continually dripped down her brows as she stimulated her Soul Core to its extreme! 

Amber's perception abilities may be high, but it's nowhere close to Cain's. Thus she needed to put in at least six times more effort, practically working herself to the bone.

For a moment, Amber's disposition to just be lazy about this and give up did submerge. 

However, Amber pushed through this! Her passion for Spirit energy far outweighs even her common tendency.

For one of the few times in her life, she was taking her training entirely seriously.

As Bellax quietly watched on, she was considerably impressed. The sheer tenacity of these two has left a deep impression on her.

A person can have the highest of talent, destiny, luck, and combat prowess. But, if they have a shaky Heart, weak beliefs, and or weak determination, they wouldn't be able to go far in either the Martial or Spiritual Road.

Seeing that this young couple has the determination of a true genius bodes well for their long future. 

As her thoughts raged on, Bellax patiently waited for the fusion process to complete.

Although, the wait wasn't very long. 

Within only a few minutes at most, a powerful wave of Lightning power burst out of Cain's body! 

'Hu~!' 

A bright purple Lightning light briefly shrouded his body, causing the whole room to drown in its radiance. 

A second later, the purple Lightning light dispersed into tiny wisps of energy. At this time, inside Cain's dantain, his Lightning spark now had a mix of bright purple Lightning. 

The Earthen Grade Lightning Spirit had easily and completely fused within Cain's Lightning Spark! 

An overflow of energy rapidly rushed through Cain, strengthening him by numerous degrees.

With the addition of the Lightning spark, Cain's prowess reached another quantitative change! Although, Cain didn't yet open his eyes. He poured his all in trying to perceive the rapidly clearing Lightning and Spirit energy.

But, no matter how much effort he put, he was unable to progress anymore before the sensations vanished from his Mental Psyche. 

As his Spirit Sense cleared up, Cain's eyes finally snapped open. 

For a moment, faint streaks of brilliant purple Lightning shimmered within the depths of his pupils. Interwoven with it were faint blue streams that submerged from his Draconic Lightning energy.

"Oh?" 

Staring intensely into Cain's eyes, Bellax could just barely notice this slight oddity. 

Her Spirit enhanced eyes could peer many energy traits and other mystical sensations. Yet, against Cain's eyes, it was like she was peering into a far higher order of energy! 

One of which she had never encountered before! 

Combining this with Cain's elegantly handsome look made for an intriguing scene that imprinted itself within the depths of Bellax's mind.

This unique appearance didn't last long as Cain's pupils quickly returned to their usual abyss-like darkness. 

As Cain returned to normal, Amber slowly opened her eyes, dawning a slightly dazed expression.

"Haah~..." She quietly sighed, feeling incomparably tired than she ever felt before. But at the same time, she was feeling delighted. 

A small, loose smile hung on her lips as she quietly muttered, "I fathom Spirit energy would never be easy to perceive, but this…it really is pushing the limits! Mn…I rarely would feel this way before. I suppose that crazy guy really is deeply affecting me more than I realized."

With Cain's great hearing, he faintly smiled over Amber's new realizations. If she had this kind of insane dedication, there might come a day where she would be the one teaching him and Kali.

That would certainly be an intriguing sight to see his proud sister begrudgingly take lessons from someone she never seriously regarded. 

Focusing back on himself, Cain quickly analyzed his new progress. As his conciseness sunken into his dantian space, he was impressed by the new wonderful changes to his Qi Origin Seed. 

Down to his Lightning spark and Soul Energy links, they had gained a faint purple hue. 

All essence coursing through his dantian, Qi energy, Soul energy, Draconic Lightning energy, and Lightning spirit energy all seamlessly fused together. 

From this new layer of strength, Cain fervently wished to engage in a heaven-shaking battle with Innate Lord!

And not just any Early Stage Innate Lord, but a genius that was at the absolute peak! Only then could Cain fathom he would be able to test most of the limits of his newfound strength. 

"Fuuu~. You really never stop surprising Cain." Bellax suddenly whistling awoken both Cain and Amber's attention. She continued to say, "This new Lightning Spirit of yours was perfect fusion compatibility. Not a single essence of the Origin of Lightning was wasted. Comparing you to others, it's once again night and day. Even the most extreme geniuses from the higher province can at best achieve 20% fusion compatibility."

"Mn? Only 20%? Isn't this a little bit too lower? Surely those talents aren't that shoddy?" Cain asked as he slowly stood up, his joints faintly crackling with explosive power. 

Hearing Cain's nonchalant questions, Bellax nearly had to stifle a giggle. 

She wryly smiles, saying, "Really, you shouldn't be comparing your standard to everyone else here. When it comes to the many Laws essence governing our world, numerous things dictate one's affinity with that Law essence. But the biggest deciding factor is one's perception towards that Law essence. During the fusion process, you would need to try and perceive as much as you can. Then, depending on how much you can grasp, the body will truly undergo absorbing the Energy Spirit. During this time, your perseverance will be a deciding factor as the pain from fusing with an Energy Spirit isn't anything to take lightly. Even with our assistance, we can only do so much. In other words, your Lightning perception is just as frightening as all your other abilities."

"I see…" Cain slowly nodded. 

For sure, he could now understand the Origin of Lightning energy much better than before. He even fathoms that if he were to cultivate his Draconic Lightning Arts now, his rate of progress could begin to quickly catch up to Kali.

With how things are shaping up, Cain estimated it wouldn't be too long before he touched upon the threshold for the second stage of the Draconic Lightning Arts!

Quickly coming to understand this, Cain slightly bowed and said, "Still, thank you for the help Bellax. Such a good item would've been wasted in my hands."

Towards Cain's respectfulness, Bellax lightly waved it off. "No need for thanks. It's only natural I provide the best. Now then, before I continue further, I have to ask, are you two willing to participate in the Spirit Exchange Event?"

"Ah? That's the massive event to showcase Spirit talent like you said, right?" 

Amber directed her question over to Cain. Seeing him nod, Amber turned back over to Bellax, a glint shining within her eyes.

She paused for a few moments of contemplation and then said, "I think I will participate. I wasn't so sure before since I have recently awoken my Spirit Core. But after this…I'm fairly confident to expand upon my control at an alarming right. I won't even sleep around much during these days."

"And my answer won't change at all. In any case, my 2nd Class Spirit energy will be revealed one way or another. Better to do it in front of a large crowd. Still, I have to ask, just what should we exactly practice at our Layers? Do Spirit Arts have different rankings according to the layer of Spirit energy?"

Cain curiously asked. Even now, he still hasn't perceived a single Spirit Art. Because he was so focused on cultivation, Cain didn't see it as a hugely pressing issue. 

But since he wants to, of course, achieve the best results in this event, Cain decided it was finally time to dedicate an extensive amount of time to Spirit Arts. 

Bellax said, "The layers dividing Spirit energy more so represents the accumulate a World Spirit Master had absorbed. Spirit perceptions come in when you want to reach the next dividing layer. As for our Spirit Arts, we do indeed have Grade Rankings similar to Martial Cultivators. But for our Spirit Arts, it's entirely dependent on your Spiritual perception. Only for extremely rare cases where your base Spirit energy will limit you from learning an Spirit Art. With all this in mind, what will you like to learn?"

"I suppose…something that can easily get us to the top rank of the event. I believe our Spiritual perception is good enough to directly skip the building blocks." Cain confidently stated.

And in that instance, a gleam sparkled through Bellax's eyes. "First place, huh? I would say it's a lofty goal for others. But you two…" 

With a wave of her hand, Bellax summoned a dark blue scroll from the shelves. 

Flicking the Scroll towards Cain, she explained, "This is called the Spirit Mending Art. Learn and refine this, and one of you will get first place for sure."

Without any hesitation, Cain opened the Spirit Scroll and was a bit taken back by the pure Spirit Aura emitting out from it. 

The content of the Spirit Scroll was an intricate design of mystical patterns that seemed almost life-like. As if they would jump right off the page and into Cain's eyes! 

Taking just a casual glance at these symbols, Cain immediately felt waves of Spirit essence flow through his mental psyche. 

The Spirit essence felt like he was unraveling a textbook for the first time, peering into a wave of new information. Subconsciously, Cain compared this to when he cultivated his cultivation manuals. 

And surprisingly, the process was nearly identical. 

Each symbol crafted within the Spirit Scroll contained Spirit Essence that was passed down from far more powerful World Spirit Masters.

This Spirit Essence was their accumulation of Spiritual perception! It was nearly identical to the Qi and Law essence contained within cultivation manuals. 

The only thing Cain wondered was if Spirit Arts had another essence mixed within the Spirit essence. Out of the basic information he learned, there was nothing about Spirit energy having types of Spirit Laws.

It was something to take notice of, but Cain put all of his focus in simply learning this Spirit Art. 

Flashing a smile over to Amber, he told her, "This will do us just nicely. For the remaining time, you, me, and Kali will put our into learning it."

With an eager smile of her own, Amber determinedly nodded. 

This be the proper start of their Spiritual Road!
