The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 150 - 150 Test the limits of battle power

150 Test the limits of battle power

Like always, Jonathan appeared out of nowhere in front of Cain and Orin the second the class started. His eyes widened when he saw that Cain’s cultivation had risen to Level 4 and that he went through another session of marrow washing.

‘Originally, I thought his Wave Talent would hold him back, but it seems he had already found an answer.’ Jonathan showed a small smile before focusing on the class at hand.

“Today, I will teach you the arts of patience and adaptability. Both do not require great physical might or skills but a state of mind that can endure drastic changes, always focused and serene, not letting your emotions or even your instincts affect your judgment.”

Cain and Orin showed solemn expressions as they heard that. Learning a physical skill, no matter how complicated, would always be easier than grasping an entire state of mind.

“For assassins, patience and adaptability are extremely important. You must be patient enough not to be tricked by your target into attacking before time and end in an ambush. You must also be adaptable to recognize the opportunities that present themselves in front of you.”

Jonathan carried on with the class, showing all types of cases where the lack of patience and adaptability resulted in the assassin’s death. He also taught the duo how to handle the stress and tension of such situations, so their minds would always be clear.

Cain knew he had an advantage in this type of training thanks to his Ego Eternal Path of Power, having already reached Mind Over Body. Still, he was giving everything he had to learn as much as possible from Jonathan.

The class ended after roughly ten hours, leaving both Cain and Orin mentally exhausted. The duo nodded to each other before leaving for their respective residences.

Cain used Embryonic Breathing to rest and spent the rest of the night cultivating before going to a new Genetic Coder Class.

.....

As usual, Cain and Camil would address subjects of Genetic Coding that were too advanced for the rest of the class. The other cadets were already used to it, so they only focused on their work and would ask for Camil’s help from time to time.

Cain’s mastery over the Golden Vectors was growing better and better, but it was still challenging to advance. Just a 1% improvement in the Flaw Percentage proved to be a monumental task.

By the end of the class, and thanks to Camil helping Cain solve most of his doubts, he was able to create a Golden Vector with a 7.5% Flaw!

Advancing from a 9% Flaw to a 7.5% might not seem much, but doing it in a single week was incredible. Camil was truly shocked by Cain’s talent, which was evident by the amazement in her eyes as she stared at the capsule with the improved Golden Vector.

‘At this rate, he might be able to create a 0% Flaw Golden Vector before the year ends and could delve into the realm of Grand Genetic Coders!’

Camil knew just how incredibly a fifteen-year-old Grand Genetic Coder was, but she kept her composure. If she were to tell Cain just how exceptionally gifted he was again and again, that could affect the young man’s drive.

When the class ended, Cain left alongside Lurin and Ophelia, and before they split apart, he gave each a Wave Virus. The duo once again felt awkward receiving such a valuable gift, but he had already left before they could say a word.

Cain valued friendship a lot, and he made the ones he gave to the duo with a 0% Silver Vector, so they were not really that expensive for him.

Although Cain focused mainly on Golden Vectors, he still created Wave Virus with 0% Flaw Silver Vectors to sell them. Genetic Coding training required a massive amount of wealth, but Cain could fix it by selling his creations.

As the Young Lord from the Valentine Family, Cain knew he could ask Zarak for money, but he refused to do that. It was not a naive sense of arrogance, but he knew that if he did it once, it would happen again.

Unless Cain always wanted to be reliant on Zarak’s help, he needed to find his own way. Of course, if a serious problem were to happen where his life or the life of someone important to him was in danger, he would not hesitate and request his master’s assistance.

Once Cain reached his residence, he bowed to his father’s altar, took a shower, and went to sleep. After waking up and feeling his body and mind refreshed, he extracted his Genetic Chamber from his space ring and began creating an Enhanced Wave Drive’s Genetic Chain.

There were five Golden Vectors at his disposal, so Cain focused his mind on creating five Enhanced Wave Drive’s Genetic Chains. Once he finished, he focused on the best, and a slight frown appeared.

[Enhanced Wave Drive’s Genetic Chain: Increase of Wave Talent by 9.3%]

‘The best from the last batch was 9.2%. That meant I only improved 0.1%.’

That almost null improvement bothered Cain a little, but he understood that even Grand Genetic Coders would find it hard to reach the theoric limit of an Elementary Wave Virus.

Cain focused and fused the Golden Vectors with the Genetic Chains according to their efficiency. He then took the best, injected it into his body, and underwent the process of adapting to the genetic modifications.

‘System, scan me.’

A few seconds after Cain uttered that command, a virtual screen appeared in his sight.

[Scanning Vessel

...

...

-Vessel’s ability to drive Wave has increased by 9.0%

-Vessel’s current Wave Talent is Low Tier 5]

The improvements in the Golden Vector and Genetic Chain allowed Cain to create a Wave Virus that could improve someone’s Wave Talent by 9%.

Cain nodded and stored the other four Wave Viruses in his space ring before adopting a meditative position and cultivating.

Weeks began to pass, and Cain honed his cultivation and abilities more and more.

His abilities as an assassin had improved drastically, having mastered Void Breath to perfection. As for his Wave Viruses, he had already begun to create Gold Vectors with a 3% Flaw.

Besides his military specialization and Profession, Cain also made improvements in his Hypnosis Master Path and was sure that he was very close to becoming a 3-Star Hypnosis Master.

Cain had just opened his eyes from a cultivation session and saw how the wave crystal and Dragon Blood Grass in his hand crumbled to dust.

As he saw that, Cain almost burst into laughter and understood how far he had come.

That wave crystal and Dragon Blood Grass was almost 20000 military credits, a sum that he could not even imagine when he had just entered the military academy. Yet, now his space ring was full of them.

Cain regained his focus and concentrated on the rushing Astral Wave moving through his body.

‘Thanks to my Wave Viruses and the effect of marrow washing, I have advanced extremely fast. My meridians have already begun to branch after piercing my bones and are ingraining themselves into my muscles.

During Level 5, I will significantly boost my strength and speed due to the qualitative enhancement my muscle fibers will obtain once my Astral Wave goes directly through them.’

Cain was delighted with his improvement and felt his strength should be enough to defeat Level 5 Wave Warriors without a problem, even if he faced several of them at once.

However, something still disturbed him: the meeting organized by that mysterious underground organization that Clacius had to attend.

‘There are still two weeks until the meeting. Apex already obtained the information of all those with encrypted communication devices like the one held by Clacius and hacked into their agendas, making it clear they would also attend.’

Most of the people attending that meeting were mayors and other civil officers. Cain did not fear any of them, but there were more complicated figures like the son of a Viscount.

And to make things worse, Cain had no idea who the mysterious organization would send. He would be entering the lion’s den and whether he could come up alive was yet to be seen.

Cain took a deep breath and calmed as he considered what he would do. After a few minutes, a sharp look appeared on his face, and his eyes burst with a mighty red light.

‘No matter what, I need to know what they are doing. People like that are capable of sacrificing anyone for their gains, even the most innocent of all.

Whether I interfere or just gain information about their plans will depend on their strength during that meeting.’

Cain decided his plan of action and how to tackle this problem, but there was one thing he would do before that meeting.

‘I need to test the limits of my battle power.’
