Kapitel 19: Beast Land Cave
Adonis and the team were now running toward 'Beast Land Cave': which was closer to the sect than 'The Blaze Forest' as it was only a 2-hour walk, and considering their speed, the team would be able to get there within half the time.
Mila purposely held back her speed since the rest of the team had lower cultivation than her. Barrett and Juniper were in Refinement Stage 2-spark, Lena was in Refinement Stage 3-spark, and Mila was in Refinement Stage 5-spark.
For a perspective of the gap between all of them, a cultivator that was in Refinement Stage 5-spark was 15x stronger than a cultivator in Refinement Stage 1-spark, and that's not mentioning techniques, ki, and other factors when it comes to a cultivator strength.
Mila looked behind her to see how close the others were and saw Barrett and Juniper were about 15 meters away, while Lena was only about 1 meter away. Mila was impressed with Lena's speed but grew concerned when she didn't see Adonis.
'Don't tell me we ran too fast for him."
Lena saw Mila's concerned expression, and after looking around a bit, she knew what Mila was concerned about and pointed to look at her left side. Mila was confused why Lena was pointing to her left, but when she looked to her left, she saw Adonis right next to her, looking at her.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before Mila was finally able to compute that a Foundation Stage 5-spark can keep up with her while not looking tired at all.
In fact, while everyone else looked to be running seriously, Adonis looked as if he was jogging.
"You are far faster than expected, Adonis."
Mila said as that was the only thing she felt like she could say.
"Thanks! I think it may be due to Lightning affinity."
Mila almost tripped when she heard this.
"Wait, you're a dual elemental!?"
"Yeah, sorry for not mentioning it before."
"No, you're fine. I was just caught off guard."
Mila felt Adonis was a diamond in the rough, as he had an extraordinary affinity with fire and even had a lightning element, also something told her that Adonis still had more that he wasn't showing.
"Hey leader, where is the Beast Land Cave located anyways?"
"Once we enter the forest up ahead, there is a trail, and if you follow it to the end, you will find the entrance."
"Ok, thanks! I am going on ahead then!"
"Wait, what-"
Before Mila could stop Adonis, he pushed his Heavenly 2-star ki to its limit and left the team, looking as if he became one with the wind. Mila was more surprised at Adonis, but then she felt a tap on her shoulder and saw Lena.
"I'm going on ahead too!"
And yet again, before Mila was able to stop Lena, she left the team as well.
"Goddammit, you two!!"
Mila then used her balanced 4-star ki and chased right after them at an even faster speed. Barrett and Juniper could only look on as the team left them.
"..."
"..."
"...Hey...Juniper."
"...Yeah"
"...Do you think we could catch up to them...?"
"Definitely not."
"...shit..."
Juniper and Barrett still ran at full speed so they at least wouldn't let the others wait too long

At Beast Land Cave, Mila was the first to get near the entrance and stopped to wait for the rest.
One minute later, Lena and Adonis arrived right around the same time. Mila was a bit pissed at them for deciding to run ahead.
"Why did you guys decide to run off like that!!?"
"Sorry, I wanted to see the full extent of my speed."
Adonis said, with his head down making him look regretful.
Mila sighed when she saw Adonis like that.
"You're fine, Adonis...but what about you Lena?"
Mila said sternly.
"I wanted to make sure Adonis didn't encounter any monsters or got lost on the way here."
Lena lied as naturally as she breathed.
She wanted to see how fast Adonis was compared to her, she was pleasantly surprised when Adonis was just as fast as her when he used his ki, and she used a partial amount of her ki.
"Uuggghhh. Fine, whatever, let's just wait for Barrett and Juniper."
Five minutes later, Barrett and Juniper finally get there, exhausted from constantly running at full speed.
"Why'd...*pant*...you guys...*pant*...run...*pant*...so fast...?"
"You can blame these two if you want to complain."
Mila pointed at Adonis and Lena. Barrett and Juniper then complained to Lena, and Adonis apologized to them along with a little bow making them see no need to berate him.
After about 10 minutes of rest, the group walked the rest of the trail and finally arrived at the entrance of the Beast Land Cave, where they saw 6 other people there wearing black robes.
"Mila! To think I see you here!"
One of the blacked robe people said.
"Hello Jack, to think I get to marvel at your fugly face so soon."
Jack had a vein appear on his head when Mila said that.
"C'mon Mila, is there a need to be so mean to rude to your fiance."
"I and my family don't recognize someone like you as my fiance."
Mila said with anger and seriousness in her voice.
"Besides, this is not the time to talk about families, right now we are a part of opposing sects, so if you excuse me and my team."
Mila said as she and her team walked past Jack's team.
Mila had already checked Jack's team cultivation and was a bit worried. Jack's team had: 2 in Refinement Stage 1-spark, 2 in Refinement Stage 2-spark, 1 in Refinement Stage 3-spark, and Jack in Refinement Stage 4-spark. Mila simulated in her head that if her team and Jack's team fought, it would be her team at a disadvantage. She would have to fight against Jack and even though Jack is a Spark below her, Jack knows a few powerful techniques that make up for it. Lena would have to fight the 3-spark cultivator, Juniper and Barrett would have to fight the two 2-spark cultivators, but that means Adonis would have to fight two 1-spark cultivators and in Mila's eyes it would be impossible for Adonis not to die during that fight despite Adonis's extraordinary strength.
While Mila was thinking this and her team was walking toward the entrance, Jack displayed different expressions to her teammates as they walked past.
For Barrett, it was an arrogant look that made it look like he was looking down on Barrett, which pissed Barrett off. For Lena and Juniper, he looked at them with a lustful look as Lena and Juniper were both attractive girls, Lena looked like she was a beautiful elf, and Juniper had this certain seductive aura around her that made guys want her, Lena and Juniper were disgusted at this.
Adonis was then walking by and Jack immediately hated how Adonis looked, Adonis was naturally handsome and he was a few inches taller than Jack, so Jack stared at Adonis with hostility hoping that Adonis was a coward.
But that hope was shattered because as soon as Jack looked at Adonis with hostility, Jack felt like he looking at the void because there were only two words that could describe Adonis's expression.
Complete Apathy.
Jack was the one feeling fear as Adonis passed by him, Jack was still staring off into the distance with cold sweat on his back. Nobody noticed Adonis's expression, and the team finally entered Beast Land Cave.
