Liquid mana.
Kayden felt exactly this sensation with his spiritual sense. The man was so concentrated that it formed a lake in place. He warned his companions and went ahead at high speed. As he got closer, his spiritual sense began to sense some more detailed things. First, there were a few other humans in the pool, but not even a single animal was present. They were just two humans, but Kayden could feel that they were both at the eighth level of the first realm. In other words, they were strong. Kayden couldn’t be careless here, but if he needed to, he was confident in giving both of them a hard time.
"Hello," Kayden’s voice caught them both by surprise and caused them to assume aggressive fighting stances. Kayden did not exude even an iota of mana from his body when he concentrated, which made him almost as if he were an inanimate object to the other spiritual senses.
"Who are you?"
"I am Kayden Heart," the two only didn’t attack Kayden because they couldn’t sense him with their spiritual sense. This small factor was causing them a bad feeling. "I just want to use the mana pool without any conflict."
"I am Rhuan Ynir , son of a baron. I recognize your lordship from the Sol Academy tests. Without a doubt, you can use it. We don’t want any conflicts either," as soon as he heard Kayden’s name, he recognized who he was talking to. Kayden was a monster and had the support of the king. There was no point in conflict with him.
A few seconds later, Kayden’s group arrived and again there was a hostile atmosphere between the newcomers and the two mages, even more so when seeing that they were of lower levels.
"Who are you?" the same question was asked.
"We are a group of hunters, we want to use the pool too," Lucas saw Kayden inside it and considered that his place was practically guaranteed.
"Sorry, but she is not available to new visitors," Rhuan’s refusal took the group by surprise.
"I’m not going to fight you, they are strong opponents and they already let me in," Kayden said upon seeing the tiny flow of mana coming from Lucas.
"Traitor trash!" Paulo was the first to shout at Kayden and his only response was silence.
"We have several treasures with us that can increase mana absorption and accelerate your cultivation, how about we exchange benefits without violence?" Lucas was communicative and showed a few dozen plants in his bag.
The mana density of some was ridiculously high and showed that they were real treasures. In just a few minutes and a few words of negotiations, the entire group was seated inside the pool.
Kayden continued cultivating like crazy taking advantage of the mana around him. His speed was frightening when compared to anyone his age. He wasn’t afraid of being poisoned by mana, nor did he need to waste time cleansing her world’s will.
Over the next few hours, some animals came close to the pool but were scared away with everyone’s help. Practically any beast other than one at the peak ninth level could pose some danger to the group. Beasts at the ninth rank alone were easily cleaned up.
"Idiot," Kayden saw Rhuan begin to enter the leveling process. He should have been using this pool continuously for the past few days and managed to consolidate himself for a breakthrough.
A small flow of mana imperceptible to most people because of the large density of mana in the lake began to form near Lucas. Other than Kayden, no one noticed this situation.
SWISH!
A large wind slash advanced extremely quickly towards Rhuan. The flow of mana became evident only at the last moment. The nobleman made an effort to get up and raise a barrier of water in front of him.
" Ugh !" he vomited blood as his advancement process was interrupted out of nowhere. His friend raised a wall of earth and managed to grab an iron dagger that was coming quickly towards him.
"What are you..." he couldn’t finish his speech, because...
BOOOM!
Lightning instantly fell on both of them, but mainly on Rhuan’s friend, and fell directly on him. The boy was not a beast with ridiculous resistance and his organs were burned from the inside out. Furthermore, his movement was frozen enough for another dagger to stab into his neck.
SWISH!
CRACK! CRACK!
Kayden unleashed a huge aura attack that broke the water barrier that was already weak because of Rhuan’s unstable core and made the earthen wall look like it was made of Styrofoam. The aura slash severed both heads in a ghastly manner.
For a few seconds, no one said anything as the two bodies fell to the ground and began to bleed. Kayden was extremely efficient and killed them both with just one slip on their part.
"Why did you help?" Lucas was surprised, as he felt that Kayden was ready to act at the exact moment he attacked.
"I didn’t know them, and you can’t attack me because of the guild contract, so I’d rather stay on the safer side," the group accepted his answer but were left with a feeling of warning about Kayden. He killed them both as if they were lambs.
The group used the pools for a few more hours, Kayden decided to leave, as he was ready to advance again, his speed was ridiculous, he had barely reached the third level and was already advancing again, Kayden didn’t trust the group even on a contract, then promised to get back to them in a few hours.
The boy looked for a hiding place and a few dozen kilometers to the north he came across a cave hidden by a waterfall, the best part was that there were several high-level beasts in the lake, making the area avoided by other land animals.

The space inside was not many meters, kayden made a metal shovel with a little effort, as he was not his element this took a few minutes and several parts of wasted mana, and then he began to dig into the wall, his superhuman strength It made the work easier and he dug a hole a few meters in front.
