Liora's Evolution and Battle Technique

When the six of them reappeared they were in the beautiful field of The Sanctuary. Liora was just as stunned as everyone else when they seen it for the first time. Elysia also thought that it was very beautiful too, but she wasn't too surprised. After taking in the view for a while longer Liora turned to Akasha. She still couldn't see anything but a silhoueete, but she was looking at him much differently than before. 

'Does he really trust me this much? To show a place like this to me? She thought 

Seeing the look on Liora's face Akasha changed back into his 'normal' form. Now with his usual light brown skin he smiled and spoke. 

"You don't have to think too much. This place is my personal realm; I brought everyone here for a few reasons. While I was unconscious, I learned of many things and had a few insights. I will need to some time to create what I'm currently imagining. The time here moves twice as fast than outside so cultivating here will much more helpful.

Since you are now one of my companions I will share as many of my secrets with you as possible. I will form a bond with you, this bond will link our souls together and you will receive many benefits. You will experience an evolution that will upgrade your talent, bloodline, and also give you a random affinity of mine."

Hearing all of this Liora simply nodded. With all of the crazy stuff that has been happening she decided to just trust him. But before he could start, she asked a question.

"Before when you were unconscious Luna told me that I could become stronger if I were a pureblooded fox. Is there something we can do about that?" 

Akasha turned to Luna who spoke 

[Yes, your Demonic Fox bloodline is much purer than your human blood. When you undergo evolution you will be pushed to perfection, so you will become a much stronger fox than usual.] 

"Okay, I'm ready then" Liora said as she looked into Akasha's eyes.

"Alright brace yourself for the pain." As soon as he said this, he formed a bond with Liora and then began her evolution. 

After she heard this Liora instantly felt like her soul was being torn apart. She fell down on all fours and let out a scream.

"AHRGHHHHH!!!! SHITTT!"

While she was undergoing this Akasha was preparing for the same as he saw the new system notifications. 

*Ding*

[You have received a new bloodline - Origin Fox]

[You have received new affinities - Illusions]

[You comprehension of the Rule of Fire has increased - 10%]

"Let's get this over with." 

After saying that he began the same process as Liora. As he was now used to this process, he just gritted his teeth and pushed through.

About 20 minutes later, Akasha and Liora had finally finished evolving. Liora became even more stunning. She had lush black hair that reached the middle of her back, her eyes was a dark blue that seemed almost black. Her ears had more silver now, but they were still black. Her tail was the same color but now she had 9 tails instead of 8. 

"You are truly a beauty sister Liora." Raven said what all the ladies were thinking.

Akasha was being a bit shameless eyeing her in all the right places. 

"Yes, truly a beauty" he said while licking his lips. 

"T-thank you." Liora said while blushing. 

While looking at her Akasha decided to scan her. He once tried to scan her, but no information showed due to his strength. Now they were connected he could see everything.

[Liora Night]

Age - 25,000 years old

Race - Demonic Fox

Rank - Early Transcendent 

Abilities - Charm, Veil of Illusions 

-----

'Hmm 25,000, huh? That means she wasn't around for the forbidden war. I'll still tell the ladies about my findings later.' He thought after scanning Liora.

"Alright now that we have that done, then we can now go back to training. I will be in seclusion for a while, if I'm still in seclusion by the time the other students finish then just cover for me. 

Hearing his words Raven, Elara, and Liora nodded and gave him a hug before going to cultivate. Liora was in a hurry because she wanted to test her new strength. Seeing the girls depart he turned his attention to Luna and Elysia. 

[So, what are you planning?] Luna asked because she was curious to see why he was such in a rush to cultivate. 

"Big Sis he's in a rush to create a battle technique!" Elysia said

"Haha yea Elysia is correct. While I was in the Akashic Library I learned every fighting style that I could. Now, I want to create a technique that's unique to me only." 

[That's interesting indeed. Good luck then dear~] 

"Good luck Akasha!" 

"Thank you, ladies." He said while sitting down cross-legged. While closing off his surroundings and focusing on what he wanted.

'From what I've read battle techniques are not rare at all, but they are essential for true fighters. Whether someone is fighting with a weapon or their hands they must some sort of technique. If not then they will be fighting handicapped, much like I was before.' He thought to himself.

'This technique must not be limited to a weapon or hand to hand combat. I will implement all my knowledge of fighting into this single technique. With this technique I won't have to think while fighting my body will react on its own.' 

As he was thinking this, he immersed himself into a deep cultivation that he wouldn't wake from until months from now. 

It had been close to two months since the students were tasked in reaching the next rank. While Akasha and his women were much further ahead than the others, it was a couple who were not far behind either. And some of the students were beginning to wake up from their own cultivating sessions. 

In a mere two months the top ten students were starting wake up. They were truly showing that this was no simple Golden Age. As these students were waking, they all were looking forward to the challenges that would be incoming.
