Chapter 199 - Another Spirit Test
Without a moment to waste, Cain picked up the pace. He smoothly traversed the streets uninterrupted by all World Spirit Masters.
True to his words, these World Spirit Masters only had enough interest to pay attention to Amber. But nobody had any actual drive to go up to them.
Compared to the idolization Martial Cultivators have, World Spirit Masters were much more comfortable doing only necessary actions.
Within moments, most World Spirit Masters returned back to their previous actions.
Soon enough, the couple arrived in front of the World Spirit Master Branch.
As they strolled up to the massive building, Amber's gaze was filled with awe. She looked up, trailing her eyes all over the colossal building with absolute wonderment filling her whole face.
Her body couldn't even move, staying entirely rooted by utter awe.
"I've been around almost everywhere in the High-Class district area and, of course, saw this massive place before. But this…it's far much more majestic up close. Even just the Aura is fantastic." Amber breathlessly spoke her remarks.
If this was the past, her Spirit Sense would only be able to detect a mysterious yet mystical sensation. That sensation would've fizzled out of her mental psyche, creating a sense of longing.
But now, with her Spirit Space open, Amber could truly bask in this potent Spirit Aura.
In this moment, she subtly compared it to Crimson Sea Academy and her estate's Aura environment.
Admittedly, both places contain incomparably rich Qi environments. However, Amber could safely say this Spirit Aura was far superior!
Whether it was biases or the truth, she didn't really care. All Amber positively knew that her road for the Spirit Path was undoubtedly the right one.
As Amber was stunned with awe, Cain quickly took out a contact ring and ignited it, calling down Bellax.
His signal was almost immediately responded to, causing Cain to lightly smirk.
Grasping Amber's hand, pulling her out of her awe state, Cain said, "Come on. We can directly go to Bellax. Truthfully, everyone is actually just scared of her far more than me."
Without waiting for a response, Cain pulled Amber inside the World Spirit Master Branch.
….
Walking through the World Spirit Master Branch was an enlightening experience for Amber. She continually had her Spirit Sense stretched to every corner of every hall. Her findings left her incredibly stunned.
Each spot of Spirit energy didn't carry the same sensation at all. Some areas were far more potent, while others exuded a mysterious sensation that was hard for her to describe.
In other spots, she flat out couldn't perceive the Spirit Aura at all.
With so many new discoveries, Amber's intrigue continually shot up. She even had a slight desire to explore the Branch.
But Amber didn't dare to leave from Cain's side. She stuck even closer to him when they started to stroll through the private halls of the Branch.
All World Spirit Masters she passed within these halls gave her an intent critical look.
Though she had her Spirit Aura continually exuded, these senior World Spirit Masters naturally had a truckload of suspicions.
Cain indeed is a one in a ten thousand year talent, but how could his little girlfriend be one as well?
It can be reasoned to these senior World Spirit Masters because they come from the same gene pool; Kali having the same level of Spirit Talent is a possible, reasonable explanation.
Talent, foundation, and all other innate abilities are known to be passed down to the younger siblings in lucky, rare cases.
And for Amber, she didn't fit this bill at all.
This is why these senior World Spirit Masters had the drive to try and probe Cain's little girlfriend. Compared to the regular World Spirit Master members, these seniors naturally had more courage and daring.
However, when one senior World Spirit Master came up, Cain smiled and spoke before the senior had a chance to speak.
He uncaringly said, "I can't talk right now. Bellax wants to see me. And she, Amber, is very special."
That senior World Spirit Master completely froze at the mention of Bellax's name. He didn't even fully take in the fact that Cain mentioned that Amber is special. And he would never have the chance as Cain promptly walked away.
As Cain's tone was quite loud and firm, it served as a proper deterrent for them to roam the private halls.
Witnessing all of this firsthand caused Amber to honestly smile.
Even with Cain by her side, it wasn't easy at all to stand tall against senior World Spirit Master's natural Auras. They felt far more terrifying than the weaker Discipline Lords!
Yet, Cain smoothly dealt with them by just Bellax's words.
Even though she felt a natural distaste for this Bellax because of how high Cain placed her within his mind, Amber couldn't suppress a submerging curiosity to see her in action.
Then, after a short while of walking, the couple made it in front of a unique, dark blue color door. The Spirit Aura was the most intense here. Almost like being in front of an impenetrable fortress.
Neither Cain nor Amber nor even any Sky Ruler could force their way in.
But all it took was Cain knocking once on the door before it swung wide open.
As soon as the door opened, an alluring voice flowed out like a rich stream of water.
"Ahh, Cain and young Miss Hiyashi. I've been expecting this meeting for some time now. Please, come in."
Bellax's tone was incomparably sweet and charming. It was like she had a pulling force; barely anyone would be able to resist her.
Even Amber, whose mental fortitude is exceptionally high for even among Profound Soul geniuses, nearly walked in the room in a trance. Her previous critical expression almost washed away entirely.
Peering over to Amber's state, Cain faintly smiles, half expecting this kind of reaction.
Even he could recall being a bit stun at the sheer Spirit Aura Bellax forged within her body.
Without saying anything, Cain pulled Amber into Bellax's office, causing her to instantly jump out of that slight stupor.
Stepping in, the couple spotted Bellax sitting behind a Spirit-made desk, holding some sort of ancient book in her hand.
Bellax was full of smiles as her eyes ran over Cain and Kali.
In this brief moment, Amber swept her gaze around the room, remarking how wide and filled it was. Moreover, the Spirit Aura was rich.
At the same time, Cain nodded to Bellax, saying, "It's good to see you too, Bellax. And you don't need to be so formal with Amber. You don't mind, do you, Amber?"
"Hm?" Instantly, Amber snapped her attention back over, her brows curling in slight confusion.
From the way Cain speaks about Bellax, Amber fathomed their relationship is better off than most Masters and disciples.
But seeing it in action, Amber was a bit surprised at the blatant casualness. It reminded her how Discipline Lord Alisha deals with this sibling duo. They both had nothing but a blossoming smile and spoke with comforting ease filling their tone.
The daunting pressure of an all-powerful expert was nowhere to be seen.
'Is this really all part of his charm?' Amber couldn't help but pursue her lips a bit.
Being so casual with such important figures and fairy-like beauties would be a dream for hot-blooded youths Cain's age.
Yet, he still treated everything with a calming indifference.
Internally sighing to herself, Amber pushed her away from her conflicting thoughts, settling an even gaze upon Bellax.
"No, I don't mind at all. Still, even I think it's appropriate to refer to you as Senior Bellax." Amber similarly kept her tone lazily indifferent but also had a small portion of respect.
Bellax simply smiles while putting her book down, preparing to get up. She then asked, "So? You want her to join our Branch, right? I sense quite the potent Spirit Aura emitting from her."
"Indeed. I figure coming to you and having you handle all the background details would be for the best. I don't really want to be caught up in another storm." Cain promptly nodded, his eyes a bit hopeful.
And as he expected, Bellax acted like he thought she would.
Bellax didn't question it at all, simply getting up from her seat to walk a few feet in front of the couple.
She traced her spatial ring, quickly bringing out a Spirit Crystal orb.
Holding the completely white orb out to Amber, Bellax said, "Bring out your purest Spirit essence and interject it in here. I'm sure Cain explained to you about the results one can achieve, right?"
Amber paused for a moment, her mind quickly recalling Cain's plan. Because her Spirit talent far surpasses anyone in the Lower Realm, Cain explicitly informed her to showcase just a small portion of her true talent.
For a small moment, Cain contemplated whether or not he should have Amber perform lower than him.
But in the end, Cain decided to just have her achieve 4th Red Class so Amber could gain the same benefits.
Amber didn't hold any disagreement, but she did have one condition. She nodded, saying, "Yes, I know all about it. And I only have one small request. No matter the results, can my news stay suppressed? Unlike this crazy guy, I don't really bask at all in the limelight. Too tiring for me."
Lazily waving her hand, Amber began stimulating her Spirit Core. With her impeccable control, it only took mere seconds to gather a small portion of her purest Spirit essence.
"Mn. That's no problem. In any case, no matter your results, I will still take you under my guidance along with Cain. Naturally, I must make sure my favorite disciple's close ones are well-treated." Bellax spouted a radiant, sunshine smile.
None of her words were boastful or light at all. Even if all those close to Cain were as arrogant and standoffish as Kali, she would treat them incredibly well.
Beyond just wanting to foster an outstanding World Spirit Master, Bellax came to like doting on Cain.
With how easy he is to get along with, it almost was like having a charming younger brother.
Against this honest, pure intention, Amber nearly faltered. Cain's previous words started to submerge, claiming how Bellax truly is likable.
No matter if she had her previous suspicions, Amber felt honestly swept up in Bellax's persuasive flow.
"Uhm…alright then. Here I go."
Suppressing her slight awkwardness, Amber raised her palm, summoning a strand of her purest Spirit Energy at the center of it.
Immediately, Amber's full Spirit Aura swept through the room, drilling into Bellax's Spirit Sense.
"Oh?" Bellax's eyes slightly brighten. The pureness of that strand of Spirit Energy far surpasses that of any Early Layer World Spirit Master.
Moreover, her Spirit Aura is quite potently dense. Also, something that any ordinary Early Layer World Spirit Master shouldn't have.
Admittedly, Bellax felt her anticipation surge. She truly realized that whoever Cain associates himself with undoubtedly will be someone that even goes beyond the usual unique standard.
As Bellax and Cain intently watched on, Amber quickly interjected her purest Spirit essence into the Spirit Crystal Orb.
A tense, anticipating silence engulfed the room.
As Cain and Bellax felt their curiosity wildly surge, changes started to rapidly flash within the Spirit Crystal orb.
At the same time, Amber experienced a potent invading sensation of Spirit energy rush through her palms, nourishing her internal body and mental psyche.
