Kai and Randal stood facing each other and looked at each other with serious faces. An icy aura emanated from both of them.

But there was a difference. At times they couldn't help giggling and it was hard not to laugh. They were playing a game.

1 hour passed and they were still holding themselves back, but Kai was drooling while holding himself back. Seeing this, Randal also forced himself not to laugh and started drooling too.

Kai and Randal were pushing each other and trying with all their might to be the winner, but it was really hard for both Randal and Kai to hold on.

Kai smiled at the idea and slowly removed his horns. When Randal saw Kai taking off his horns, he gave him a look of despair. It was not enough to make him laugh.

Just then Kai put his horns back in. Then he took them out again and put them back in. The succession of horns out and back put Randal in a difficult position.

"PUHAHAHAHAHA!!! "

Finally, Randal started laughing, spraying the water from his mouth on Kai. Kai couldn't take it anymore and sprayed the water from his mouth on Randal's face.

The two managed to calm down after laughing like that for minutes. They both stood up. Kai bent down to waist height and saluted Randal.

"You did well, Kai. It's been over a year and today you turn 16. There is one last thing you must do before you take the exam to show that you are now my student."

Randal lifted Kai with his hand and pointed deeper into the Cave.

"Why do you think the Force of the Universe blessed this place a hundred years ago and refused to allow people above Step 2 to enter?"

Kai couldn't say anything about it because he didn't know anything. Randal didn't wait any longer and continued.

"A secret aura emanates from the depths of this cave. It's strong and sharp and I've never seen anything like it in my life, certainly not a living thing. So I hoped it was a treasure and I tried to get in, but not even someone on the 6th step could get in here. So I ignored it and did other things, but I'm sure you can go in there and get a great treasure. "

Kai didn't know what to say to what he had just heard, but he turned his gaze to the depths of the cave Randal had shown him. It was his greatest desire to become truly strong and to do so was his purpose in life.

"Yes, master. I will go in there and get the treasure."

With that last word, Kai tried to move toward the Cave, but Randal held him back.

"This treasure is not a simple thing, Kai. Don't expect the treasure to come to you without a test. You must be prepared for a test. Go and gather what you need and remember that in this Cave, prepared for the bottom of Step 2, you may encounter the defense mechanisms of the purple Lightning. Be ready for anything. "

Kai nodded at Randal's words and quickly left his seat to get ready.

***

All this time, Kai hadn't just laughed and had fun with Randal. Randal had given him knowledge as well as strengthened his abilities. He had learned to survive, so Kai could escape from someone in Purple Lightning. In fact, given the proper equipment, Kai could kill anyone below Step 2.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

At the same time, Randal had collected many plants from Sky Island. With these plants and treasures, Kai's escape from someone in the Purple Lightning was a piece of cake.

Within an hour Kai had everything ready and stood before Randal with his sword slung across his back. He was wearing the Crimson Robe of energy that Randal had made for him. At the same time, the Immortal Dragon blood circulating in his body was stabilized. Kai could also use Turkish blood and six million souls. He could not use any of his bloodlines to their full power. For that, he first had to find the truth hidden behind his bloodlines. So he would travel to Seattle, to the Eastern Dragon Temple, and the sacred Turkish lands. After the World Tournament, of course.

Randal smiled when he saw that Kai was fully prepared and allowed him to descend deeper into the cave. As soon as Kai stepped from the wooden floor to the stone floor, Randal's expression changed, and became worried.

"I hope that what awaits you there will be of use to you, Kai. In the future... You'll need it. "

Meanwhile, in the city of Red Lightning, the Legends and Emperors were gathered together. There was a tense atmosphere.

"How do you plan to stop the Immortal Sword Academy? The technique the Academy has found is very dangerous. We need to warn all the Academies soon," said one of the Emperors.

"The technique they are using is very dangerous. Is there anyone here who is not afraid of this technique?" said another Emperor. The other developers agreed with his words.

"I don't know how they found the weakness of the Immortal Formation, but something tells me they want to kill us all. "

Zaheer's words caused silence in the room. The Immortal Sword Academy had somehow found a flaw in the Immortal Formation. The Formation did not work on people who had died by the Immortal Sword Art, and so people were dying.

"There should be an inter-academy meeting as soon as possible to discuss this matter!" Lena said fiercely. Normally rarely angry, she had become cautious and in control of her temper since she had entered Kaizer's training. But she still wasn't the King of Pure Healing and Kaizer didn't want to make her the King of Pure Healing too quickly.

Everyone agreed with Lena's words and an envoy was sent to each Academy. The topic of discussion was the destruction of the Immortal Sword Academy.

***

Kai had entered the cave and had begun to descend into the depths. He had just passed the place that had blocked Randal's passage.

Kai was looking around, moving through the walls of the cave in case of any attack.

RAAAAAAAR!!!! VAAAAAAAR!!!!

The moment Kai heard the sound of a Beast, he drew his sword and tied the arms of his backpack around his waist. He had given his ring to the Little Tiger. That's why Randal had given him a bag. He went down into the cave with it.

At that moment a monster appeared in front of Kai. It had only one eye and was carrying a giant mace of thorns. It was at least 4 meters long.

When Kai saw this monster, he thought of the wolf Diana had made him fight 2 years ago. Back then he couldn't even control his mind. Now he had regained the powers of the 6 Senses and his strength was far superior to this beast.

The beast was Red Lightning, but it had thicker skin and strength than Grim, but that didn't matter to Kai. The moment he drew his sword, the fate of this beast was sealed.

The Beast swung its mace at Kai, but Kai dodged the attack by spinning on his heel. At the same moment the Beast let go of the mace and sent its fist at Kai, but Kai was still indifferent. This monster could not affect him.

As the fist came towards Kai, Kai looked into the Beast's eyes out of the corner of his eye. The Beast was surprised by the terrifying aura it suddenly felt, but it dared not stop itself and sent its fist at Kai with all its might.

Kai said nothing else. As it came at him, he somersaulted and dodged the Beast's fist. In mid-air, he put both feet together and struck the Beast in the eye.

But Kai wasn't finished as the Beast groaned in pain. He stepped on the Beast's arm and leaped up again, pulling his sword out of the air.

The Beast was confident in its skin and knew that no one in the Middle of the Orange Lightning could slice it with a sword. Still, Kai's terrifying aura made him uneasy and he protected his head with his arms.

Kai continued to stare nonchalantly into the air. When he took out his sword, he also opened the lid of the flask next to his bag.

"Raindrop Sutra...."

Water rose from the flask and appeared at the tip of the Heavenly Elemental Sword. Kai wielded the sword like the flow of a river. He spun around and severed the head of the Beast with the sword.

The monster protected its head with its hands, but Kai's Raindrop Sutra made the sword as slippery and sharp as a raindrop. When Kai landed back on the ground, he started walking without a care in the world. With a huge one-eyed corpse behind him. Meanwhile, something else was going through his mind.

'I hope the master put his delicious sandwiches in my bag.
