Chapter 213 Going up
"BOOOMMMM!"
Dominic and Amos noticed the blast and glanced to the side, only to see Cain standing atop an unconscious Carl. '¡Garbage!'
'Useless!'
The duo cursed in their minds when they saw that Carl not only lost against Cain but was not able to last for over ten minutes against someone that had yet to become a Level 7 Wave Warrior!
Dominic unleashed a small tornado while Amos triggered a massive explosion, pushing their respective opponents away before pulling back.
Antony and William were about to chase after the duo but stopped once Cain raised his hand.
"The fight is over. Remember to stay in your lane, or else the next time, I will not contain myself." Cain kicked Carl's massive body, sending this one crashing toward Dominic before turning around.
"Back to the encampment. Take the rest of the day to rest."
The instant the thousands of soldiers heard those words, they all immediately followed the command. Cain's aura had grown so strong that his word was law, and everybody had to follow them no matter their strength or military rank.
Dominic saw how the military force acted around Cain and could not help but clench his fists. Again and again, he found himself losing against Cain. If not for his cultivation, he would have no way to compare himself with that young monster.
Dominic was quite arrogant, being the scion of an extremely powerful Noble Family that had existed for thousands of years and whose authority on the Collapsing Lightning Sector was only second to the Collapsing Lightning Duke. He could not conceive that someone who came from nothing was stealing the spotlight from him. 'Hmph, no matter what, I will teach you that your place is beneath me.' A vicious light appeared in Dominic's eyes as he glanced at a group of women at the back of the student force. That was a group of beautiful women with decent cultivation since none was beneath Level 4. However, many had downcast expressions on their faces, and the other student looked at them with a mixture of pity and disdain.

Cain had told the soldiers to rest since, from tomorrow, they would not avoid battles and continue with their mission of exterminating every Wave Beast in the area. He had just reached his tent and was preparing to sleep when he heard a voice in his mind.
"Are you not bothered by that group of women?"
Cain was surprised to hear Apex speak about that. He had noticed those women and had an idea of their current state.
It was not secret for Cain there were cultivation techniques that used sexual intercourse to train, and those women must be the so-called "cultivation furnaces."
Since Cain considered himself a hero, he was not very fond of the strong abusing the weak. However, it would be foolish for him to start a clash against the student force for something like that, not to mention that a significant portion of those women was fine with that sort of arrangement since it also benefited their cultivation.
"If I could save those in need with my power, I would. Yet, I am too weak to face the entire student force and not stupid enough to waste my life for people I know nothing about."
"There is one that you know."
Cain frowned when he heard that and went back to his memories. The next second, his eyes widened as he saw that Cinthy was actually among that group of women.
"Have things changed?"
Apex's voice had a provoking tone as if he dared Cain to act based on this information.
Cain's eyes burst with red light as he adopted a meditative position.
"What do you think?"
"Hahaha, you have grown, brat."
Cain only smiled as he heard Apex's compliment and soon fell asleep. Although doing it in a meditative position was not ideal, he was in enemy territory and needed to be ready in case anything happened.

After rising over ten thousand meters into Blade Mountain, the number of Wave Beasts they found decreased tremendously to the point that there were packs of only twenty to one hundred creatures. Nevertheless, their individual power rose to a whole new level.
In the following weeks, soldiers and students began to advance up in Blade Mountain, killing all the Wave Beasts in their path and harvesting more and more resources. Each group took a different edge to keep a certain distance between themselves. An invisible line divided Blade Mountain, and neither side crossed it since they had more than enough fighting the immensely powerful Wave Champion Beasts on their path. After rising over ten thousand meters into Blade Mountain, the number of Wave Beasts they found decreased tremendously to the point that there were packs of only twenty to one hundred creatures. Nevertheless, their individual power rose to a whole new level.
It was not hard to find packs made of fifty Wave Beasts, with none beneath the Early Wave Champion Rank and more than a handful at the Middle Wave Champion Rank.
Cain was in his tent, analyzing the current state of the battlefield. The situation right now made moving with a massive army impractical.
Although sending thousands of low-level Wave Warriors to attack those packs full of Wave Champions Beasts would certainly weaken the enemy, the casualties would be astronomical. And there was also the fact that powerful soldiers could not fight at full power for fear of collateral damage.
Cain's eyes grew sharp as he analyzed his own strength and felt the bursting Astral Wave inside him. It had been over two months since he reached Blade Mountain's foot, and the combination of high-level resources and the constant battle had solidified his cultivation. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"System, in my current state, what would happen if I fight the Lightning-Fall Mantis in a direct one-on-one battle?"
The Absolute Life Form System immediately carried on with the command, and Cain felt how it produced countless simulations before answering.
[According to data obtained from one thousand simulations:
-There is an 8% chance of Vessel killing the Middle Wave Champion Beast.
-A 81% chance of Vessel forcing the Middle Wave Champion Beast to run with severe injuries.
-A 10% chance of the Middle Wave Champion Beast forcing Vessel to run with severe injuries.
-A 1% chance of the Middle Wave Champion Beast killing Vessel.]
Cain showed a small smile as he analyzed that information. He was powerful enough to defeat Middle Wave Champion Beast, but a single mistake could lead to his death, so he could not lower his guard.
