The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

139 Genius level comprehension

The Blood Refinement Art was a technique that impressed even Zarak. Other than Asura Form, it was the only technique Cain had that he could train beyond the Wave Champion Rank.

However, upon closer look, while Void Stage had five levels, only three were in the crystal card Jonathan gave him. Still, just the technique was more than worth the 10.000 military credits he spent to enter this class.

Jonathan saw that the duo had finished analyzing the technique and carried on with his words.

“This class will focus on you mastering the first level of Void Stage. I will also teach you how to hide in plain sight, to hide your feeling and killing intent near a target, to act naturally in every situation, and to camouflage with your surroundings and the crowds around you.

There will also be courses in psychology and mob mentality. It is essential to understand the state of mind of your target.”

Cain and Orin began their training with Jonathan, and their minds were completely focused, paying attention to even the most minor details.

The first class lasted nine hours, with Cain and Orin pushing their minds to the limit so they could remain immersed in it every minute. The knowledge Jonathan imparted to them was vast and encompassed all aspects of stealth, not just the one involving you but also the target and surroundings.

Only once the class was over did Cain and Orin allow their minds to rest. Cain was actually surprised by the young woman’s mental fortitude. Even for him, it was not easy to remain focused on such a complex subject, and he had reached the First Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power, which enhanced his cognitive abilities.

‘Interesting’ That was the only thought that crossed Cain’s mind as he glanced at Orin.

.....

Orin seemed to have noticed Cain’s glance, but she did not pay attention. She bowed toward Jonathan before saying goodbye and walking toward the auditorium’s exit.

However, she stopped mid-way as she saw that Cain did not intend to leave with her and noticed both men sharing an intense gaze. She was smart enough not to meddle in other people’s business and continue walking.

Jonathan saw Orin had left and stared back at Cain before releasing a small sigh.

“Can I see the Young Lady?”

Cain’s eyes burst with red light as he used his Ego Wave to hide his emotions before taking out a gorgeous coffin from his space ring. He carefully opened it, showing a beautiful woman with a peaceful expression.

The coffin not only stopped the corpse from deteriorating but also closed the wound on her chest. The duo might think Beelze was just sleeping if they did not know better.

Jonathan’s body trembled as he saw Beelze’s corpse, and tears began to feel from his eyes. He began to caress her hair with an expression of utter sadness.

Cain’s eyes showed nothing but peace, but the raging red light indicated how strong his Ego Wave was acting to hold his emotions.

He glanced at Jonathan and saw immense love in the man’s eyes, but they did not belong to those between a man and a woman. The love in the blonde man’s eyes was something Cain had seen on his father’s face.

Jonathan raised his head and saw the analytic light in Cain’s eyes before showing a small smile and wiping the tear off his face.

“I am hundreds of years old, little boy, and I have been by the Young Lady’s side since she was a baby. I came to look at her as my own granddaughter, so you will have to excuse me for getting sentimental.”

Jonathan took a deep breath and glanced at Beelze’s face before closing the coffin and staring at Cain again.

“You can return the coffin to your space ring.”

The red light in Cain’s eyes vanished once Jonathan closed the coffin, and he could not hide his shock when he heard those words.

He wanted to hand over Beelze’s body to her parents and did not intend to pass that responsibility to someone else, but he at least expected Jonathan to ask for the coffin.

Luckily, Jonathan noticed his confusion and solved it immediately.

“I know all that happened in that forest, and how you chose to run toward the Young Lady despite the immense danger you would have faced. You have all the right to bring her back home, but I must warn you that the Aegon Family will not look at you so kindly as I do. Your life could be in danger if you go, and not even someone like Soul Breaker Zarak could protect you in that place.

I could take the coffin and bring the Young Lady home if that is what you wish.”

Jonathan did not have to wait for an answer as Cain immediately put the coffin back into his space ring.

“I respect your courage and decisiveness, boy.” Jonathan’s voice carried respect. He took a small ring from his hand and handed it over to Cain.

Cain analyzed the ring and saw it was a map leading to a secret location on a massive mountain range deep within the Endless Rain Sector.

“In it, you will find the path toward the Aegon Family Household. I advise you not to go before becoming a Wave Champion since the path is extremely dangerous.”

Cain did not take Jonathan’s words lightly and knew that the Aegon Family’s power must be monstrous. They were able to put one of their servants as a teacher of the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy, and it seemed that their brute force allowed them to face Collapsing Lightning Pillars like Zarak.

The duo clasped their hands before performing a small bow to each other, with Cain returning to his residence and Jonathan vanishing in the darkness.

Once Cain returned home, he bowed to his father’s altar, took a shower, and ate a small meal before entering Embryonic Breathing.

That state would not only allow his brain to rest but also help him process and integrate all the knowledge he obtained today. After two hours, he woke up and felt refreshed, ready to embark on his new task.

Cain accessed his [A.I. Chip Module] and saw two folders. One had the name [Basics of viral genome and structural composition] while the other was [Sinar’s Genetic Coder Guide].

The first folder was one he obtained after enrolling in the Genetic Coder Class and had to read before the class started. There was a lot of information, but it involved pure memorization, so Cain already took care of it.

The second was much different as it had true Genetic Coder’s knowledge, and Lurin just sent it this morning, so Cain had not been able to read it before.

Cain made sure his mind was well rested and focused before opening the [Sinar’s Genetic Coder Guide]. He began to read it and analyzed every single point, but slowly, a frown appeared on his face.

The information in the [Sinar’s Genetic Coder Guide] was highly comprehensive, beginning from the basics, detailing every step along with the writer’s personal experiences, and with every point explained in detail.

The reason for Cain’s frown was that it was too easy. No matter how intricate the information, he only needed to read it once to gain a full understanding of this one.

Even the more challenging parts in the [Sinar’s Genetic Coder Guide] that the author stated as highly complex were simple for him.

At first, Cain thought that maybe he was missing the essential parts, which is why he found it so easy, but after reading again from the beginning, he knew that was not the problem.

Cain was proud of his cognitive abilities, but he knew they were not that great. Hence, the only explanation for this genius level comprehension regarding Genetic Coding had to be the Absolute Life Form System and the [Genetic Coder Module].

“Apex, do you have an answer to this?”

The one that could give Cain an answer was the System Spirit, but he was out of luck.

“I told you it would be interesting if you became a Genetic Coder. If you want to know more, grow stronger. I will get back to my hacking.”

Apex did not say anything else, leaving Cain full of questions.

Cain could only sigh since there was not much he could do about the System Spirit’s attitude. He did not continue reading the [Sinar’s Genetic Coder Guide] since he had already ingrained every point made in it in his mind.

There were still several hours for the Genetic Coder Class to start, so Cain took a wave crystal and Dragon Blood Grass before entering Embryonic Breathing.

Cain was not worried about mental fatigue since he had slept yesterday, and Embryonic Breathing significantly reduced the burden of cultivation on his mind.

He woke up an hour before the class started, and after doing his usual ritual, he went to the auditorium.
