Kael walked towards his platform with the twins and Karl following him. For the fights of Alex and Alexandra the raccoon stayed inside their rooms since he thought that fights of this level were to boring.
As they neared the stage, the female disciple responsible for it spotted Kael. She was instantly mesmerized by his looks and couldn't turn her eyes away.
Kael didn't mind that though. After all his new looks were simply too handsome. Now that he thought about it, how did Alex even recognize them earlier. And they didn't even question him about his changes.
He would just ask them later. For now Kael had to decide how much strength he would display.
The normal fighting strength of someone who reached Silver Refinement would be the 3rd stage Energy Refinement while they're in the 1st. Since Kael wanted to show a bit of his talent he would probably display 4th stage strength in terms of physical power.
If he added his two techniques at Limit-Break mastery he would easily beat the requirements to become a core disciple.
As the girl next to the stage signaled for the fight to start, Kael simply sprinted towards the puppet without any technique. He dodged the standard blow it usually did and punched it in its wooden face.
The blow that carried a strength of 3 minor realms above the puppet instantly shattered its face, finishing the fight in just seconds.
The baffled disciple next to the stage didn't even have to ask Kael if he wanted to take the next test and instead directly called for a stronger puppet.
Seeing the 3rd stage Energy Refinement Puppet opposite him, Kael decided to use his energy this time. He still didn't use any techniques but if he only used the bodily strength he had shown he might need a bit of time to finish the fight.
As the fight starts Kael once again sprints towards his opponent. This time he channeled Chaotic Spiritual energy through his feet to increase his speed.
As he met the puppet he chose to confront the punch head on this time. Kael imbued his fist with Void spiritual energy this time which increased its destructive power by a factor of two.
As the two fists clashed in mid air, the puppets entire arm up to its shoulder simply shattered. As Kael's punch still had most of its power in it, he simply continued his trajectory and hit the puppet in the head, once again destroying it.
Kael knew that his fighting experience was severely lacking which is why he used overwhelming force to win the fight.
The disciple responsible for him froze in shock this time. Not just her but Alex and Alexandra as well. They never expected the guy they randomly met once to be this strong.
After the next puppet was placed on the other side of the stage, the female disciple called for an elder. Every core disciple test had to be surveyed by an inner sect elder to ensure that the participants could not cheat in any way.
There are some techniques and pills that increase your strength for a certain time and they might be hard to detect for a disciple. So to ensure that only the most talented could pass this special test an elder always had the be present.
The one that arrived for Kael's test was obviously elder Beatrice who wasn't surprised by his results. After all she knew about his talent and special physique.
As soon as the third test began, Kael displayed his self-created techniques at Limit-Break.
His movement technique required Chaos Energy to be used but out of fear that the elder would notice something, he only used void energy.
This way his speed once again increased by 2.5 times compared to the last fight. His speed could now easily equal an 8th stage Energy Refinement realm cultivator.
Due to his speed he instantly arrived before the puppet again and used his Explosive Energy Fist in cooperation with his Void Spiritual Energy.
The puppet before him saw no chance. Instead of being 4 minor realms higher than Kael, he now eclipsed its destructive power by a whole 3 realms instead.
His punch packed such a force and destructive energy that it instantly shattered the entire body of the puppet.
The special properties of his Void spiritual energy acted on the puppet as well, which meant that some of its parts were banished into nothingness.
Now even elder Beatrice was shocked. She never heard of any supreme genius of the human race having such a high ability to fight above their realm.
She was also surprised by the destructiveness of what she thought was his space energy. Of course the human race had borne a few earth grade constitutions but those could be counted on 2 hands.
Obviously none of them had such a high law as space. They were weaker than the Earthly Space Body since there are still differences between constitutions of the same grade.
‚A real gem!' A spark could be seen in the elders eyes as that thought went through her mind. Kael was probably the most talented human ever.
As Kael walked down from the stage she had the urge to instantly accept him into the sect without even going through the last trial but she knew that the sect leader and other elder put the most value on the last test.
So instead she simply said „Well done young man. As long as you pass through the last trial without any issues you even have great chances of being accepted as a direct disciple by a core elder."
„Of course you are also guaranteed to become a core disciple with many privileges."
Kael didn't express much joy but simply thanked her for her kind words since she was still someone of much higher status. After all he knew that with his talents that was the least he could expect of himself. He also just didn't know what else to say so he simply stared at her.
„Ahem, you should rest now and get ready for the next test which will happen after every other contestant has finished this one."
Afterwards she flew of in a somewhat embarrassed manner. ‚Why did he have to make that so awkward? Couldn't he have said something else? Or at least don't stare at me with such an expectant gaze.'
Kael, not minding the somewhat weird interaction, went back to his accommodation together with the siblings and Karl.
‚That was the least that was expected of someone who contracted the great Primordial raccoon.'
Whilst Karl's reaction was rather restrained, the siblings were going crazy.
„How did you get so strong?" Alex asked with longing in his eyes.
„Well I have S-Grade talent in Body Refinement, Cultivation and Comprehension. I also found a treasure that helped me break through my limit in the Body Refinement realm inside the cave I was stuck in."
Both of the siblings already expected something in this direction, so they merely showed a look of understanding. But what Kael said next absolutely baffled them.
„Oh, I also have an Earth Grade Constitution that grants me an especially destructive kind of spiritual energy."
Alexandra was now cursing the heavens for being unfair, whilst a fire was set ablaze inside Alex' eyes.
„Kael, please be my rival! I want to chase after you until I surpass you. I need that extra motivation!"
„Sure, why not?" Kael didn't see any reason to decline the request so he gained a new rival at that moment.
After another 6 hours they finally got the notification that the trial will continue now. All the participants gathered before another big gate that was located behind the 1000 stages.
„Before we enter the next part of the trial, you will need to swear an oath that you won't tell anyone about what you will see next."
„To swear the oath simply say: ‚I swear upon the world consciousness that I will never tell any living being about what I will experience in the next hour.' This means that if you are still inside this world and break the oath, then the world concilusness will descend and shatter your cultivation."
The world consciousness is present in any world that is at least a low world. It is responsible for defending the world against certain outside influences and regulates the rules of the world.
If you make an oath on the world consciousness and break it then it will give you a severe backlash. The only way to break the oath is to either leave the solar system or to become stronger than the world consciousness.
But if you are able to achieve either of the two then you probably wont ever have a reason to tell someone about the third trial of the Saviour Sect entrance examination.
After every participant swore the oath, the gates opened and you could see an entry to a cave behind it.
‚Please don't let me be stuck inside of here again.' Kael suddenly got PTSD as he remembered his last experience in a certain cave.
