The monkey was still a mid level 2 Blood Beast, a small realm above Calter and naturally can still put up a fight. The monkey stomped its foot on the ground causing a bit of tremor that disrupted Calter's fighting stance
Calter lose his balance and the monkey threw a punch at his face. Fortunately, as a cultivator with light attribute his speed was his forte. Calter's hold on his sword tightened and he placed it in front of him. The sword and fist collided causing vibrations to travel on Calter's hand and it became numb
The kid stabilized himself and jumped away from the monkey who was about to throw another punch to him. After landing on the ground Calter immediately stabilized his position. His fighting skills were really far above the other students, no wonder he became the number one genius in the younger generation
The monkey chased the kid while its fist glowed with an earthen brown light. If Calter was hit by it, no doubt he will sustain heavy injuries. That is why Calter cannot allow that to happen
Using his speed as an advantage he circled around the battlefield while the monkey was went to chase him. If this game of cat and mouse go on, neither of them will win. But what he was waiting for was the time when the earthen power that the monkey infused its fist vanish
The monkey can't possibly control its power for an indefinite amount of time. Calter can't block its fist as that will cause injuries on his hand because of the impact
Soon enough, after more than seconds the earthen light vanished on the monkey's hand. Calter controlled his Bloodline power and it covered his feet with a white light. His speed exploded and he hold his sword that was also glowing in front of him and made a thrusting motion
The monkey didn't thought that the human who can only run away from it would suddenly take the initiative to launch an attack and was caught off guard. It protected its body with his arm
The sword left a few centimeters hole on the monkey's arm but it was not too deep to give it a serious injury. The monkey was after all a mid level 2 Blood Beast with physique stronger than humans. Its attribute is also the earth element which made its defense even stronger
However, for Calter this is enough. He used his foot that still has some Bloodline power left and twisted his body to kick the monkey. The monkey was threw out of balance and with a quick speed Calter controlled his sword to pierce the monkey on its eyes!
You may have powerful body defense but what can you do when its your eye that I am going to attack? The sword easily pierced the monkey's eyes and blood leak out from it. After the eyes is the brain, as the sword also pierced the monkey's brain naturally its only outcome would be death
The students watched in amazement at how Calter can kill a Blood Beast above his level.
"Good, good!" Narry was extremely satisfied. Until now for him only Sven, Calter, and Caizha has high talent. The other students are also elite on their own but comparing it to these three students, it was like the difference between heaven and earth
Calter went back to Kence's side while the latter congratulated him while teasing that 'Young Master Calter is really a monstrous genius'
The other students finished their turn without much happening. And the top three students who will be given a reward would naturally be the three geniuses Sven, Calter, and Caizha
"All three of you will be given 1 Soul Nourishing Pill each, a drop of Rank 0 Sun Dew!"
The students hold their breath when they heard what the rewards are. Just the Soul Nourishing Pill itself was already a treasure as it can increase one's soul power. A stronger soul means your cultivation speed will rise. It will become easier to control your soul power to absorb your Origin Blood but the soul was also restricted a bit by the body
A soul can become more powerful than the body but it would be harder to increase the soul's strength if your body strength is insufficient. If your body is stronger it will be easier to make your soul stronger. For Bloodline Assimilation Stage Cultivator their only source of strength is their Bloodline Power as they don't have Qi yet
Your Blood Soul and you was still not one entity and you are just borrowing its power. Activating Bloodline power requires Soul Power, the stronger the soul the more Bloodline power can you use. However, what if your body can't take the huge amount of Bloodline power you can control because of your powerful soul?
You will damage your body in the process and you can't unleash your full power. Sun Dew has the effect of making a cultivator's body stronger, the energy inside it was like a warm sunshine nourshing a plant (your body)
The Soul Nourishing Pill and Sun Dew are both precious. If you use both then your strenght will have a huge leap! The distance between these three genius will once again further from the other students and they were naturally jealous
"Another amazing thing that I don't know" Kence pouted at how his classmates were acting. He was sure that whatever that Sun Dew is it is an amazing cultivation resources
Narry handed the student's rewards before dismissing them

"Come on Kence! You need to do this please?"
The pair of friends were currently inside of Kence's dorm. The kid has an unwilling expression on his face. "T-that's not easy for me to do" just thinking about what Calter wants him to do make Kence's face to pale
"But you need to learn hunting Blood Beast!" Kence's unwillingness to kill put him in a bad situation. Not only he might be expelled from the academy but in the future if he gained an enemy it will spell his doom
All cultivators have blood on their hands but this doesn't mean you are a bad person. The Blood Beasts are always mankind headaches, both sides killed each other causing mountains of corpse to form. If you don't kill then you are the one who will get killed. Calter as someone from a Marquees Clan knew a lot of things on how the world works, he was worried for his friend's future if this go on
"B-but I-I can't for now" Kence already knew that there would be a time where he need to kill someone or something. He steeled himself for that but when the time was needed for him to kill appear he discovered that he can't. The mental restraint was too much and he almost can't move. He doesn't even know how he managed to heavily injure the poor blue hawk that was currently sleeping on his room to recuperate
Suddenly, someone grabbed Kence's robe and pulled him. Kence was shocked and stumbled, when he looked at who was so rude to do it he wasn't even surprise that it was Sven
"Hey! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?!" Kence shouted in anger as the kid was nonchantly dragging him
Sven's piercing green eyes looked at Kence's own blue ones and the latter shivered in fear. He immediately shut his mouth, he was too afraid to say one more word
"To hunt Blood Beast" Sven's words were like hammer hitting Kence on his chest and his heart started beating rapidly. Calter's eyes lit up hearing that. For him Kence and Sven has a 'special relationship' and that maybe his friend will listen to this 'special someone'
"N-no! I don't want to!" Kence put strength on his legs to stop himself from getting dragged and this annoyed Sven
"Did I say please? No right? Then this is not a request, this is an order!" Kence's eyes and mouth widen in shock. How can this stupid kid say things like that as if it was natural? Just who is he to order Kence? He's not his father!
"Why should I listen to you?!" Kence's face redden in anger. This Sven's attitude is really too much! "Because of this!" Sven's hand like a lightning snake entered Kence's robe
"T-too shameless!" It was Calter's time to widen his eyes and mouth now. For him if Sven wants to do something like 'that' he should at least wait when he was not there. To do it in front of him isn't that too shameless?
When Sven's hand felt a certain object he took it from Kence's pocket and hold it on his hand. It was the bottle containing the first ever pill that Kence made
Kence was already wearing a new set of robe and put the pill in another bottle but now it was on Sven's hand. "What are you doing? Give it back!" This time Kence was really angry. Just why is it that people always do something bad to his pill? Don't they know how important it is for him? He always treated it with care but now is the third time that his pill came into harm
"No" Sven's cold words once again ignited something on Kence. The usual eyes that were filled with a youth's innocence was replaced by coldness just like what happened at the General Cultivation Class
'Just as I thought' Sven said on his mind and he gained an interest towards Kence. The others might not think too much of Kence becoming like another person when he was enrage
At the Yohan case, Kence knew that he can't attack the kid and didn't trigger this state. At the hawk case on the other hand he knew he can do something and entered this state
Normally, as Sven is a Noble Kence wouldn't enter this state when angered but this was already the third time that something happened to his pill. Not just that but it happened for the second time today, he can't control his rage now and entered this icy state
Kence's body released a burst of coldness and the temperature around him dropped. His cold eyes stared at Sven. "Give it back" Kence's voice doesn't contain any anger but only coldness that will make one to shiver
"What if I don't?" A playful smile appeared on Sven's face that just made more coldness to be release from Kence's body. Sven put the bottle on his own pocket while looking at Kence playfully
Kence move towards Sven while his hand move gracefully in a quick manner and attempted to take his pill back but Sven easily dodged as if it was the easiest thing to do in the world. Kence stomped on the ground and a thin layer of ice appeared trying to bound Sven on his position
"W-what?" Calter cannot believe but he saw. This was not something that Kence should have done. He only absorbed 15% of his Origin Blood and it was extremely hard for someone at his level to do this feat. It's not like he was looking down at his friend but Kence's strength and talent was only average in the elite class. It was hard to believe that his control over his Bloodline Power was this superior!
The further you use your bloodline power from your body the harder is to control, that's why Cultivators use a medium like sword which would make it easier. If other students try to do what Kence did most of them will only be able to spread their Bloodline Power evenly around them
The result would be a circle of ice surrounding them but Kence easily controlled his Bloodline power and only a straight line of ice was made. The line of ice went towards Sven's direction but the kid only stomped his foot on the ground too. His green poisonous energy met the ice cancelling its power causing a stalemate between the two
"Now then, what is your limit?" Sven was excited to encounter a special being like Kence. If he pass his 'test' Sven will make Kence a good underling
