Shining Duos

Time flew by like the wind for the trio as under the tutelage of all of the a.d.u.l.ts they barely had any time to rest. One month has already passed for them and all of them are making great progress due to their hard work.

Their hard work was also attributed due to the fact for now they can't use their divine powers and must rely on themselves.

Currently, the trio had routinely woken up early and was making their way to the back entrance of the mansion while wearing their training outfits which only consisted of a gray tracksuit. Although it wasn't any regular one as their clothes also increases their weight by five times and they had to adjust to it to temper their endurance and strength.

They arrived at the back entrance of their mansion soon and before going through they stretched a little bit and Kuzumi yawned a bit telling the other two;

"Man I'm gonna love returning to our lightweight after all this training is done. Even now I still feel a bit unconformable wearing these things."

"Just be glad their only making do this much for now. I dread to think how much they are gonna increase the weight later down the lined." Sighed an exasperated Lun Yuo. She took the longest to get used to these clothes as before she barely had to pick up anything heavy much less carrying something that five times her weight.

"I'm just wishing Auntie Val won't push too hard today."

"Oh, and do you really think that would happen?"

Right when Kazami hoped a dreamy voiced ranged out to them but to them, it was the voice of trouble. Shaking out of it they straighten themselves and headed outside to a dazzling dreamy woman.

Blue graceful gorgeous hair swayed charmingly downed to her h.i.p.s. She had an angelic face and alluring green eyes that one cannot take their eyes off from. She stood at an average height and had a ravishing hourglass body with a lovely aura around her that would drown you in her. She dawned on a plain blue dress that only further increased her exquisite figure as it highlighted everything about her body from top to bottom.

Although right now her expression was serious and held no room for discussion.

"You kids don't have to worry the next time we increase it won't too be bad but as always there will be no going easy in training no exception!" She drilled into them and the young trio nodded as per usual knowing there no point in arguing.

"Now as per usual, you three will carry those three bags throughout the forest to the same huge tree all while fending off-peak Spirit Formation monsters and some 1st level Origin Formation monsters." Where they were currently was on a tall cliffside that down below went into the massive forest that occupied most areas on their Jungle Star planet.

This forest was however special as they remodel this part to only allow certain beast to roam through it for their training or anyone else they wanted to train.

Their training would always start with their Auntie Val or Cathal wife who is named Valencia and this kind of training helps them warm up in the morning, heighten their sense, advance their combat awareness and increase their bodily strength among other things as a rule apart of this exercises is they can't use any Spirit Qi attacks besides reinforcing their body with it.

Not only that the bags they were carrying also has the properties of significantly increasing the gravity on their body on top of their weighted training clothes.

The trio held no complaints and went over to grab the bags and get ready but this time Valencia had a surprise for them.

Snapping her fingers three arrows floated her above which made the trio feel a certain doom was about to befall them.

Smiling Valencia told them;

"Oh yea to make today training a little special I'm going to make these three arrows chase you and if you get caught by the well you have to start the whole trip over again."

"Ahh shit, why!" They shouted their grievance but gotten no reply and taken off running as the arrow started to chase them.

"Good luck! You'll need it heh..."

They jumped off and started to slide down the cliff making sure they used the terrain to avoid the arrow. Once they made it to the ground they dashed off into the forest where the monster awaited them.

…

"Argh! Goddammit, talk about a way to be more a pain in the ass!" Kazami screamed while rubbing his a.s.s.

"Hopefully Auntie Val doesn't add any more "surprises"." Kuzumi prayed for it.

"I'm sure Mrs. Star has her weird bullshit reasons on why we went through that hell."

Lun Yuo had sarcastically remarked while they were walking to the next part of their training after completing their daily morning exercise although it did come with great difficulty.

They arrived at a large gray door and walking in the room it was nothing but a gigantic gray space with nothing in it beside Audrey waiting for the three.

Seeing them more tired than usual she humored the tired youths;

"Hoh looks like Val went hard today on you guys. Seems like I also shall pick it up a bit today."

"Ugh, whatever give us your best shot mother!" Gazing on the mocking smile of Audrey Kuzumi was suddenly filled with vigor and didn't want to yield so early to them today.

"A bit more piper than usual eh, alright let's see if you can handle chaotic wind today."

"Can't you just keep your mouth shut sis!?" What Kazami complained about to his sister was warranted as this version of their Qi control training was the hardest of them all.

Audrey every day made them use their Spirit Qi and Elemental Qi to walk over any element she decides to use that day. She would usually alternate between quicksand or sharp stone spikes but her most dangerous element was her wind Qi. Audrey was a natural-born genius with a double Sand and Stone Qi type but she managed to later on in life comprehend wind Qi to the highest degree and made it a deadly weapon.

Audrey stomped on the gray floor and it quickly spread apart and what was in the middle of room chaotic tornado storm that could rip and shred any 1st level Origin Formation cultivator.

"Now c'mon you know the drill make it to the other side without getting swept in the storm or you start over."

Instead of complaining the trio focused up and started to concentrate. First the gather up pure Spirit Qi and then;

'Whir!'

They created three separated blue aurae around themselves from pure Spirit Qi. Next which took even more time they added some of their Elemental Qi in it. This is how they were getting more proficient in combining the two Qi by maintaining absolute control over having to form a fused aura to protect themselves from Audrey's power.

Once they were done they still had an imperfect balance but it wasn't completely disorderly as it would've been a month ago. This was also the reason why they didn't advance from the 5th stage as normally fusing the two Qi was harder in earlier levels.

Even for great geniuses, there would only be a certain amount of Spirit Qi one could intake at each level and once one advance more into later levels it would be much easier for them to absorb and combine their special Qi as they comprehended Spirit Qi to a high degree.

The downside that came from this would be their perfect fusion would be weaker than someone who managed to fuse their Qi at an earlier because once managed to reach the peak of Spirit Formation and combine their Qi they wouldn't be able to absorb the densest Spirit Qi and the denser your Spirit Qi is the stronger it will be.

However, for this trio, they didn't have this problem as they could freely absorb Spirit Qi, while also not having a limit on how much they can absorb at a certain and from this, they can combine it early for a greater result later on down the line.

Taking a deep breath they rushed into the storm and was instantly met with sharp winds threatening to slice them apart. However, their fusion aura was able to protect them and they slowly went deeper into the storm.

…

"Oh god damn I can barely feel my legs from that f.u.c.k.i.n.g storm!" After finishing Audrey training and making it through the storm they were now sitting down on Kazami and Kuzumi's original cultivating spot but the felt soreness throughout their whole body.

"Same Kazami but at least we now only have to focus on merging our power than any crazier physical training." Lun Yuo was leaning on Kazami and gave a hopeful answer.

"Alright, that enough resting now. Start the merge now!" Cathal appeared in front of them after they rested for a few minutes.

"Right right." They tiredly replied and sat straight up and placed their palm under each other. For the final part of their day, the trio would now test on how fast they can merge their powers and the power output they would have.

This part helps them understand each other Qi better for they can combine more attacks in the future and also helps with Qi control as they have to perfectly move their Qi around a foreign Qi.

Through this one month while they couldn't still form a full mini multi Elemental ball they could now form a half ball much quicker.

Taking some time an half-formed mini ball appeared on the top of their palms and not a sooner later Cathal threw an gold aura nascent spirit spear at them. This spear was way stronger than the swords that Lucy had taken out seeing as it could easily split a late-stage Origin Formation Cultivator in half. Sensing the spear coming they tossed the ball and;

'Ka-cha!'

The spear was broken into a million pieces as soon as it made contact with the ball.

"Good! Faster this time."

And like this, a round of merging powers began for the trio until they were burnt out of energy.

…

"Alright that enough, for now, rest up tomorrow will be just as intense like always." And with that Cathal vanished from their sights.

While the trio was already on the ground spent too tired to even move. That was until their auntie Lia or Cathal's wife Lianna came out to greet them.

"Another hard day right. Come let your Auntie Lia tuck you into bed and put you all to sleep." Taking Kazama and Kuzumi in her arms while Lun Yuo was on her back Lianna walked back into the mansion.
