Once Cain finally reached his room, he went straight into his bed. The journey to the Genetic Coder Association had been tiring, and he yearned for genuine rest before continuing his training. Upon waking up, Cain felt much clearer mentally. Without delay, he communicated with the Absolute Life Form System. "System, scan me." Wanting a precise assessment of his current strength, he awaited the Absolute Life Form System's response. [Scanning Vessel... ... ... Scan of Vessel completed. Name: Cain Laurifer Race: Godslayer Humankind Path of Power: Astral Rebirth (Middle Wave Champion) Lineage: True Avernus Lineage Wave Talent: High Tier 8 (High Tier 8) Stats: Strength: 33.1-->39.2 Agility: 22.1 --> 24.2 Vitality: 40.1 --> 41.5 Wave: 23.5 --> 25.2 Blood Energy: 39.6 --> 41.4 Blood Rebirth: Golden Blood Stage Note: Wave Virus inside Vessel enhanced Wave Talent by 22.1%.] The boost in his stats came directly from his new bloodline, as it had been less than three weeks since his last body analysis. What truly captured his attention was the increase in talent, which now reached High Tier 8. And that was just the beginning. Suddenly, a teleportation formation at the volcano's base illuminated, heralding Cain and Krane's arrival and drawing everybody's attention. Dressed in an impressive red robe embroidered with the name 'Laurifer' on the back, Cain exuded regality. His black eyes and chrome hair drew many admiring glances. From the moment he arrived, his eyes were bursting with red light as he unleashed the full power of his Alter-Ego's aura, making it hard for those with weak willpower to maintain eye contact. Cain's transformation took aback the Second Princess and Crown Prince. Yet, both Michael and Emerald Goldsoul discerned beyond mere appearances, sensing the pulsating bloodline power coursing within Cain, and could feel the strength of the True Avernus Lineage. Michael whispered to Emerald, "Indeed, that young man is truly astounding." Emerald replied, ensuring only the Crown Prince could hear, "I presume I won't have to contest you over this, Big Brother?" The Crown Prince responded, "While I appreciate promising talents, allying with him could strain relations with Kamel." Emerald softly nodded as she remembered the animosity between the Third Imperial Prince and Cain during the Imperial Feast. Since the Crown Prince could not sever his relationship with his little brother, bringing Cain to his side was impossible. "Still, he is part of the Fourth Brother's group, and I doubt he would just let him go so easily." "Hmph, Klaus' charm is significant, but he has a fatal flaw. He needs to be always in control and cannot accept a relationship where the other party could grow too strong. I am sure their bond isn't robust." The Crow Prince glanced at Emerald and gave a subtle nod. The Fourth Imperial Prince controlled one of the three significant forces of the Imperial Royal Family. While he possessed many virtues, he was undeniably a control maniac. Cain observed the dozens of attendees and expressed slight surprise. He hadn't anticipated so many showing up for his Arcane Route. However, he just walked forward until he reached the beginning of the reversed river of lava. Pausing, he scanned the crowd, acknowledging those he had previously met, such as Yordana and Desmond. His attention then shifted to the Scholars of the Imperial Court. The Grand Scholar of the Imperial Court was a stout man with short black hair and a beard. Dominguez typically exuded a solemn and majestic aura, aware of the influence he held over the emerging nobles. However, this time was different. No Grand Scholar was incompetent, and Dominguez was no exception. He had thoroughly researched Cain's background and military achievements. Initially, he was merely impressed by the young man's accomplishments, but after hearing about all the adventures the young man had in Eden, his perspective shifted. Now, surrounded by influential individuals, a single misstep could cost him his title. "Colonel Laurifer, I am the Grand Scholar of the Imperial Court, Dominguez Flamin. As you know, the Arcane Route is the first of your three trials in the Arcane Ceremony of Nobility." Dominguez spoke with a grave demeanor, unveiling a long golden scroll. "You have defended human cities against massive hordes, led armies to annihilate millions of Wave Beasts, taken the life of Wave Champion Atrox as a cadet, thwarted the schemes of Dark Kings, and amplified the might of the already formidable Imperial Lightning Fort. Now, you must embark on the Arcane Route and confront the relentless onslaught of foes, just as our ancestors did when they faced the Gods of the Dark Races. The higher you ascend, the more honor you bestow upon your family name. When you can no longer progress, shout your family name and motto, signaling the end of the first trial." His concluding words resonated throughout the volcano, their meaning evident. If Cain wished to secure a high classification, he needed to progress as far as possible. Cain nodded in acknowledgment. Dominguez then addressed the spectators. "Who among you is willing to stake their name and reputation in support of Colonel Laurifer?"
