Amber's marriage matters….Cain only felt a slight tickle over this. Just the thought of entertaining this topic nearly made Cain chuckle out loud.
Perhaps if he was just simply known as a Heaven-Defying Martial Talent, this would've been a bit more serious.
But with his World Spirit Master status, it's ridiculous to even think that a High-Class level Family would even make trouble with him. They're even more dependent on World Spirit Masters than cultivation sects.
Unlike the pursuit of Martial Power, Class-level Families mainly resign on their business dealings with all sorts of organizations. Their generation wealth and inheritance is something that many other cultivation sects require.
And to keep these transactions afloat, Class level Families have a significant dependence on the World Spirit Master Branch.
The World Spirit Master Branch helps maintain their generational wealth. And in turn, Class level Families exchange very rare items that are only helpful to World Spirit Masters.
All of this is why Cain only focused on Elder Bai's supposed opportunity part of his talk. He could gather that some showcase will happen very soon.
Contrary to Cain's calmness, Amber, Joy, and Amiel's moods considerably darken. Even a slight icy Aura leaked out of them simultaneously.
It was truly impressive to Cain how they could all have in-sync thoughts.
"Heh-heh. This matter again? Come now, do I need to say it to the headmaster's face that none of Amber's relations will ever directly correlate to the Family?"
Joy's smile was frighteningly chilling as her pressure slowly built.
This intensity is the only way how she fended Amber's Marriage matters for all these years.
Even for the good of her bloodline, she definitely won't let her own daughter fall into their footsteps. Hell, she already sees Amber is falling closely aligned with her own footsteps in love matters.
In response to the increasing pressure, Elder Bai wryly smiled while shaking his head. "Don't misunderstand me. After the last attempt, even the headmaster was hesitant to bring this issue up again. But still, I'm sure you all understand that Amber is one of our highest proud Vampire descendent. Her relations will affect the Family no matter what. But really, the headmaster and I already realized this is a non-issue now. There would be no better choice for Amber's relation to being with one of, if not the most promising youth of this generation. You may not care, but the headmaster gave his full blessings."

Amber clicked her teeth in a similar style to her mother, her tone also bearing the same sharpness.
Elder Bai's eyes then brightly sparkled like a ray of sunlight. "You see, we know about this. But not many others, including within our Family and across the City, are aware of your status. After all, it's not commonly well known that World Spirit Masters often engage in relationships. It's especially less common they would relate outside of their Branch. This is why I purpose to set up a friendly duel and let it be known that young Cain is dating Amber. Doing so would be a great help for our Family."
Nobody immediately responds hearing this.
Elder Bai's words did make sense for Amber and her parents. However, the thought of using Cain for their own personal gain didn't sit well with any of them.
Amber was a given, considering her deep feelings. While both Joy and Amie already formed a great impression of Cain. None of them certainly didn't want any type of damper to prick their relationship.
At the same time, Cain didn't mind at all over offering his services.
In the end, whatever helps Amber in any way is something he will always be down for.
But what was gaining his attention were the interpersonal relationships of World Spirit Master.
Elder Bai's words and the reality he experienced didn't match up at all.
Evidently, because of his immense Spirit Talent, all World Spirit Masters would be far kinder to him. And it sometimes gets to a point where the young maidens would attempt to make advances on him.
Nothing significant had ever developed between any one of them, of course. But it was still something Cain kept noting in his mind.
Before anyone else spoke up, Cain suddenly asked, "Before we continue on, I'm a bit curious. Relationships between cultivators are naturally common. But has there really been no news about World Spirit Masters relationships? I never got a chance to ask around myself."
"Ah, I'm not surprised nobody would bring it up. For the last dozens of years, there's only been a handful of World Spirit Masters forming relationships outside their Branch. And despite their pickiness, when getting into a relationship, that World Spirit Master wasn't ostracized but still treated the same. In fact, their partners would receive the utmost benefit and status. The mere connection to them can boost any Class-level Family or even a Sect-like organization! I'm sure you can see why our headmaster wants to quickly publicize this news to the City."
Elder Bai patiently explained.
And listening to this tale highly amused Cain. On the Martial cultivation road, it's inevitable that all cultivators eventually settled down and created dozens or even hundreds of descendants.
One of the driving forces would be to pass down ancient cultivation legacy for the newer generation to have that slim chance of surpassing what's already existed.
No matter the species or race, the need to populate will always exist.
But of course, when one's cultivation reaches an otherworldly level, matters like this are most likely regulated to their subordinates.
These cultivators dedicate their entire Martial Heart to cultivation in hopes of reaching the peak of their own road.
Cain found it similar to how the Thunder Spear Emperor only dedicated his all to cultivation without leaving any of his legacies behind.
He probably reached an otherworldly level where matters like that are entirely meaningless to him. And when comparing this to World Spirit Masters, the similarities were evident.
Arrogant, prideful, and sometimes obnoxious they may be, Cain couldn't deny that each of them puts their very all into practicing Spirit Energy.
All World Spirit Masters have a genuine craving for strengthening their Spirit Energy.
Matters like love or other feelings indeed weren't impossible to form. But if it wasn't deep feelings of love, these World Spirit Masters would treat romance as a fleeting sensation. Only as something that they'll inevitably forget after dozens of years.
And even when engaging in a relationship, these World Spirit Masters never gave up their passions, still wholeheartedly pursuing the peak of Spirit Energy.
This is most likely why the World Spirit Master Branch would still be willing to treat that World Spirit Master equally. They aren't forgetting their main passion but simply stretching their branches out.
From their talk, Cain was nearly 100% assured that his thoughts were right on the mark. But in any case, Cain pushed these thoughts down to explore later.
Before he could talk, Amber suddenly spoke, curiously asking, "Fine, so you want to publicize our status. Just how are you going to do this? Wait… .don't tell me that you want to fight Wang?"
Wang softly smiles, speaking in a hopeful tone. "Indeed I do. As of now, all that is known to the City is that Cain has heaven-defying and immense Spirit Talent, correct? Nobody has yet to fully see him in actions across the City. While these small doubts won't be troublesome. It would be best to squash anyone of them so no unforeseen accident can happen. This is why I want to propose to fight and broadcast Sir Cain's Martial Talent to the City. This will also help his Martial Talent status to not get completely outshined by his World Spirit Master status."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Tch. Heaven-Defying Talent….still, even with this. Boy, you are very much nearing the absolute peak of the Profound Soul Realm. Don't you believe this is a bit much?" Joy promptly expressed her concerns.
And her reaction only fueled Wang's mind as he said, "See? Even Elder Joy is having a hard time believing. Martial Prowess is just as important as World Spirit Master status. There are many Sects and Families that won't be entirely convinced unless Cain's Martial Prowess is just as high. Of course, they all will stay silent. But doubts can lead to unexpected troubles."
'Peak Stage Profound Soul?' Cain's brows curled in intrigue.
A cultivation realm like this is something he desperately needs at this moment.
Sparring with Kali helps refine his battle instincts. But it doesn't help him test his proper limits.
Cain doesn't dare to go all out without care to Kali. Doing so can potentially end up hurting both Kali's mind and body.
And as it stands now, Cain would prefer it not to stimulate the negative waves Kali expertly smolders within her Martial Heart.
Challenging another Crimson Sea Academy genius is an option. However, his Martial prowess reputation is just too fearsome. Cain was expecting that whoever he fights wouldn't be able to showcase their true potential.
This is why someone like Wang, whose curiosity and his own set of goals in mind would make for the perfect test subject.
As long as he doesn't go too far, Cain could finally exercise his combat potential without too much worry.
"Alright. I'll agree to the match. If it's to benefit Amber, I don't really care what it is. Plus, I'm also in need of a good match."
Cain calmly spoke. He internally smirked when sensing the various intense reaction all around him.
"Oh my! Isn't this just romantic? If your reasoning is as good as this, then I really have no place to argue. I'm also honestly curious about the limits of a Heaven-Defying Talent."
A blooming smile lit up Joy's face. Cain's answer even made her briefly forget about her intent dislike for Elder Bai and Wang.
"Mn. A young man his age would be aligned to taking on challenges like this. I know in my youth, I never backed down from a challenge." Amiel as well spoke out his honest thoughts.
"Huu~. All I can really say is expected of you, crazy guy." A simple wry smile crossed Amber's face. Though, she couldn't ignore the bundle of warmth simmering in her chest from Cain's honest answer.
Although, Wang's following words caused some of that warmth to the damper.
"Excellent! I'll give you my contact ring to meet later and discuss the term of the match.. At that time, I want you to meet someone extraordinary in our Family."
