"Still want to continue, Jinho?" The Lightning Striker slapped his right and left palms together, as if brushing off the dust that had settled on them.

A middle-aged man, around 40 years old, got up from the fall he had just taken during the contest of strength he had just engaged in. He smiled, a sign of satisfaction.

"You think that's all I'm capable of? I just saw the flow of your power so that I won't be fooled again."

"You always talk nonsense. Now come forward and unleash your full power. I want to see if you can withstand my blows!" The Lightning Striker regained his composure, condensing a thin energy throughout his body.

"Get ready!" Jinho took two steps back and spread his hands apart to his sides. He readied himself again. In front of his palms, small, circular portals appeared like magical holes.

Jinho's hands entered each of the energy holes. Jinho drew a weapon from each. The one in the hand is like a glowing and disjointed chalk. His left hand took out a flaming energy sword.

The Lightning Striker saw that it was a powerful energy, and was ready to blow away whatever was around him.

"It seems like today is the best day to make a breakthrough in my martial arts," said the Lightning Striker, smiling at Jinho.

Jinho, who had a short beard, also smiled. He moved the energy whip in his hand and raised it upwards, twirling it around. Also, his left hand holds a sword, with the tip of the sword energy pointing upwards.

The intermittent whip light was like daggers that connected together, like chains that connected each other. However, the dagger continued to lengthen due to popping out so many holes in the security side.

The energy blades continued to seem to be connected, wriggling upwards and spinning so much that they kept appearing and circling the energy swords.

A large number of energy blades appeared endlessly. Surrounding the energy sword that was raised upwards. There are thousands, not even millions. The sky seemed to be filled with energy daggers that swirled continuously like a hurricane.

"Prepare yourself, Lightning Striker!"

Jinho's eyes were red and glowing. He was ready to launch his attack.

Lightning Striker smiled and thought of the dazzling energy crow in his fist.

"Let's see who will win, Jinho!"

Jinho pulled the sword in his left hand back slightly and snapped it. Millions of interconnected, spinning chains shot forward, all attacking Lightning Striker. The figure who was always nicknamed the Legend of Lightning Strike.

Lightning Strike concentrated energy into his fist, leaping upward and slamming his punch into the ground.

HIAAAAAA!

HIIIIIAAAAAAA!

The two clashed, unleashing their power.

Boom! Boom! Whoosh!

"He's still alive and is ordering us to take the Heavenly Troops test," Gayatri's soft voice startled Aji out of his reverie. Aji also realized that his friend was still alive. However, during the first big war, the man avoided and did not answer Yonan's call.

Hearing that he was still alive, Aji smiled.

”Do you know our teacher?” Lao was curious because Aji smiled when he heard that his teacher was still alive.

Aji smiled while looking at Lao. "Does your teacher still wear the bracelet engraved with naa, with the approval of the hand of the sender?"

Lao and Gayatri were shocked to hear Aji's explanation, which proved that Aji had met their teacher. But when is the time? Haven't they been with him all this time, even for 15 years?

"Don't think too much about it. I met him once, and it was only for a short time. Maybe one day I'll see him again. Come on, let's eat before your food gets cold."

Aji changed the subject to Jinho; he was probably very old now. Lao and Gayatri nodded and continued eating. Gayatri herself always appeared mysterious, her hooded head covered. Aji only saw her beautiful green eyes.

Now, they were more focused on tomorrow's exam. It was uncertain what would happen in this second exam. Of course, it would be more challenging than the first, as the first test was merely a tutorial.

Gayatri sensed that Aji's energy was thin and ordinary. However, someone who could bounce such a heavy steel box and also withstand and penetrate a level 8 Array, then Aji was definitely no ordinary person.

Gayatri saw through those green eyes; it was one of his specialties. Those eyes possessed a power, like the ability to see a person's energy from within. When she focused her eyes on Aji's body, she saw all of his organs, all of them seemingly filled with internal energy.

Gayatri can see a person's strength with her eyes. She focuses her training on the retinal waves in her eyes. This was also guided by Jinho. When she looks at an ordinary person, she can see the direction of the attack in their energy. For example, if they're about to kick, throw, or punch, Gayatri's eyes see where the energy is most concentrated, which is where her opponent's instinct will strike.

For example, if she's about to launch a long-range attack, the energy will be visible from her hands, ready to be released.

However, when she looks at Aji, she can't predict how his attack will begin. Aji's entire body and organs are transparent to Gayatri; his entire body is imbued with energy proportionally.

If she's not mistaken, Gayatri sees in Aji that Aji is someone who has already mastered his internal energy.

Aji doesn't need to prepare a movement, focus energy on a single point, or prepare to gather energy for an attack.

Aji only needs a sudden movement, and that's already immense. Gayatri sees Aji's potential, so she asks her brother, Lao, to approach Aji and encourage him to cooperate during tests and whatever else lies ahead. Lao himself was confident in his younger brother's abilities, as he had practiced meditation for a long time. Gayatri had strengthened her sharp eyesight to discern a person's energy source.

There was one more thing Gayatri knew that she hadn't told her older brothers, Lao. She assumed that Aji had devoted his entire life to training and becoming one with nature.

In fact, Gayatri assumed Aji to be someone whose true abilities could not be predicted. Gayatri could tell whether someone was a true warrior, assassin, magician, support, or sword wielder.

These characteristics were evident in the color of energy, and Aji's was rainbow-colored. Perhaps some people could wield two energies and practice them. They were said to have quadratic abilities. For example, if he were both a magician and a swordsman, a sword wielder and a magician, he would be called a Magic Swordsman. His color was a blend of the two colors.

For Aji, the rainbow color indicated that he might possess multiple powers.

Surprisingly, however, Aji's rainbow energy colors were all stable. Gayatri couldn't yet determine what those powers were; she had just learned that there were people like Aji.
