Shining Duos

Kazami and the girls got taken to the main room the man resides in; it is a dull white room having only a stone bed and some space rings lying around.

The man gently put the four on the bed, allowing Kazami to feel strange energy flowing inside him. It felt warm and refreshing, almost making him fall asleep sitting atop on it.

"Now, don't resist; this process may take some time." The man proclaimed, and from his fingertips, four streams of whitebeam enter inside Kazami and the girls.

Whatever the man was doing work as rapidly, Kazami felt his injuries heal up, and not only that, he felt his spirit sea become more profound, taking shape more.

His level increased from the 7th level too;

8th level

'Ka-Cha!'

Red lighting and ice spewed out of Kazami crazily ravaging about the whole cave. His eyes momentarily went half silver, and the purple star on his hand brightly flashed. The 9th level of Spirit Formation, he finally advances, and this time by two degrees in one shot.

Kazami opened his eyes, next time him, the girls stayed shielded by a white barrier, and the white skin man had an astounded expression plastered on his face.

"You, you're only in Spirit Formation, but what I just felt right now...wait, don't tell me they're breaking through too?!" From the man's words, Kazami brought his attention back to the girls witnessing their Qi and power rise as well.

Blue lighting and fire gushed out of Kuzumi in a frenzy rushing wildly all over the cave. Similar to Kazami, her eyes became half silver, her star hand flashed, and she jumped to the 9th level of Spirit Formation.

And it wasn't over yet as Lun Yuo eyes became half green, and on her c.h.e.s.t, green light shined intensely. Grass Qi spewed out of her in the forms of vines digging holes all over the cave. She, like the others, broke through to the 9th level.

The one who caused the most caution, however, was Brenda. White Slaughtering Qi from all the cave rushed into Brenda as if she was a light source. Her golden aura gained a bit of a white hue to it, and even her eyes weren't pure gold anymore.

The man strictly observed all of her phenomena while he was still in shock about the others. But he put his full focus on her, and right when Brenda only seemed to stay in the 9th level of Spirit Formation, the man generated pure white blood on his fingertip fl.i.c.k.i.n.g it to Brenda.

As soon as the blood made contact it got entirely absorb in her body and;

'BANG!'

An explosion of power burst out of Brenda as she advanced to the 10th level of Spirit Formation, the peak of the realm!

"It went better than I thought it would..." The man thought out loud, looking at the slightly different appearance of Brenda now. The white hue became more pronounced in her aura and eyes, with her hair also having a few white streaks in it.

Kuzumi opened her eyes first, feeling more refreshed than she had ever been the last couple of days. Her eyes wandered the white cave until it landed on the white man and Kazami next to her.

"Brother? Where the hell are we?" As she spoke her questions, Lun Yuo and Brenda started to awake as well with confused expression shared all around.

"We're in the Slaughtering God cave, and that's the slaughtering god." Kazami stated and only further confused the girls.

"I think I should explain now properly. Like I said before, call me Slaughtering God, and yes, I do hail from the God Realms, and I know the three of you do as well."

Shock all across the board plaster on the girls' faces, and they felt even more cautious about him. But Brenda strangely felt an odd connection with the man calling himself slaughtering God.

"Relax, he won't kill us or anything of that sort." Kazami assured them and the slaughtering god picked up,

"Of course, it was only because of the boy's purple aura was how I felt an incomparably strong bloodline saving all of you." Slaughtering god words made the girls remember their last seconds of how Kazami saved them before they passed out.

Lun Yuo and Brenda help appreciative gazes towards him while Kuzumi only shrugged her shoulders saying;

"As expected from him, but you are you possibly a God Path cultivator?" She knew, like Kazami, the who rank themselves as Gods are genuine God Path cultivators.

"Yes, I am, and I require the four of you help." A frown formed on Kuzumi face when she asked;

"Do you require it or you merely giving us the illusion of choice."

Despite Kuzumi question tone slaughtering God didn't change his face and said;

"Let me explain somethings; for starters, my help and the mission you're currently on is exactly similar to each other. But what you failed to realize every person who attempted this mission died or was closing to dying when leaving this planet."

"You know about the chaotic shard mission?!" Kuzumi shouted her shock at the highest.

"Yes, I do, and what you all should also know that horned red tiger was also a God Path cultivator similar to me."

Now Kazami, Kuzumi, and Lun Yuo were stunned from this news. During Kazami first meeting with slaughtering God, he didn't mention the tiger was a God Path cultivator. Brenda, however, was silent earnestly listening on every little detail they said.

"Don't get overwhelmed now, the key thing is we was God Paths, now were not even half what we used to be." Lun Yuo this time decided to speak up asking;

"Still, what can we even do for your help and this mission?" It wasn't doubting themselves, but they knew while they're not God Path it still something far above their level.

"You know you're underestimating yourselves if you think you can't do this mission. Look as of now that tiger is at most only at the starting realms of the divine path, and I know the tiger general movements and plans."

"For starters, what do you even need from the tiger so badly anyway?" Kuzumi asked him, which prompted the man to open up his palm revealing a small gray shard. It held no energy but it gave off a chaotic feeling.

"This a chaotic shard."

"!!!" A chaotic shard staring right in front of their faces stunned the trio again, and Kazami asked;

"How how did you get one?!"

"It was from those beasts mothers I talked about with you. All I want is for you to gain the chaotic shard from the tiger so we can make a swap. And you'll have a much easier and smoother time working with me as I can help you cultivate extremely fast and tell you about the horned red tiger weaknesses and his plans for this planet. Also, if you can find a green eye orb as well, so what do you say?"

The trio went silent for some time, complementing everything they just got told. Questions were still buzzing inside their heads, with the main one being whether to trust this man or not.

"Hey, shouldn't we just take his offer already?" Surprisingly Brenda spoke up at a time like this with a calm expression.

"We?" The trio voiced out at the same time.

"Yes, we, I've decided I will tag along and help with this mission. My goals always was too travel to God Realms, and this seems like the perfect way to gain strength." Kazami still had to question with,

"Don't you have parents or something waiting for you?

Brenda shook her head, her expression didn't change a bit saying;

"No, I only relied on myself all this time, but I know my place doesn't belong on the humane realm."

"Ok, but are you sure about tagging along with us? We could die at any time on this mission possible." Lun Yuo concernedly asked as she started to see Brenda in a more friendly light these past days and especially after surviving together.

"If I learned anything from this week, it's that you three are probably the most extraordinary teenagers I'll ever come across, I can't allow myself to become scared. Cultivation is full of risk and rewards, just like receiving help from the slaughtering god." Her explanation sparked something inside the trio, and Kazami looked at the man determinedly.

"Alright, we'll help you with getting the chaotic shard from the tiger for a swap."

"Excellent! You won't regret it."
