Chapter 119
119 Pillar of Resilience (I)
“What childish behavior. A mere Level 3 Wave Warrior is incapable of using a wave crystal entirely. He is just wasting money.”
The blonde soldier sneered as he saw Cain using a wave crystal.
Lumir and Zamir showed ugly smiles as they heard that. It was true that wave crystals were beneficial for cultivation, but if your body’s ability to draw energy was not high enough, much of it would disperse.
Usually, Level 4 would be the minimum requirement to use wave crystals. One could understand the blonde soldier’s criticism of Cain.
“Hmph, Lord Uriel, what could you expect from a brat that came from the slums? He might not even know what wave crystals are.” Lumir did not lose the chance to mock Cain, trying to diminish the fame this one obtained by reaching such a high level in the Pillar of Strength.
Zamir was about to join in when he noticed how Uriel and the other high-level soldiers looking at Cain showed surprise. He did not know what had happened.
If he were strong enough, Zamir would have seen that Cain’s body absorbed the energy from the wave crystal without letting any of it disperse.
That baffled many soldiers as they did not understand how a Level 3 Wave Warrior could do that. The answer was very simple. Cain entered Embryonic Breathing, exponentially increasing his ability to draw energy.
The events in the Pillar of Strength spread like fire, and soon hundreds of soldiers and cadets arrived at this location. All of them focused on Cain, waiting to see what he would achieve once he took the Trial of Resilience.
.....
Many cadets, especially those with the highest talent and scores, recognized Cain. The tales of this one had already reached the ears of all of them.
