"You're too strong, darling," Alia remarked as she attempted to parry Sam's attack with her mock sword. Despite having the sa level of cultivation, Sam's strength pushed her back a few ters.
"You're not bad yourself, honey," Sam smiled helplessly.
"D-Darling, you can't achieve any results if you fight with soone weaker than you," Yuna pointed out. "I guess out of the four of us, only Sister Lenora could be your effective training partner."
Lenora chuckled, "Princess Yuna is right, darling. Alia is too weak to keep up with you in training, so I should be your training partner."
"Oi, who are you calling weak?" Alia stomped her leg in annoyance. Then, she turned her gaze to Sam, "Darling, I will show you that I am more than capable of being your training partner."
As soon as she said that, her body glowed with intense light for a millisecond before intense flas engulfed her wholly. The flas were intense and could burn one's skin into ashes just by nearing them.
Inside the flas, Alia grew a few inches, and her ears elongated into pointed ones, much like elves. Two crimson-colored bat wings sprouted from her back, with whips of flas dancing from them like rain droplets.
Her eyes turned into a blood-red color, like the eyes of a bloodthirsty killer.
When the flas disappeared, everyone saw her transford figure, which had grown from 175cm to 190cm, almost the sa height as Sam.
Her skin color remained the pale color as before, but everyone knew how tough her skin had beco.
"Is this the Ancestral transformation of the noble vampires?" Sam's eyes lit up in excitent. He could feel Alia's presence had changed; she had grown stronger.
"Yes, darling," Alia's voice sounded deep, like she had a bad cold.
"We noble vampires can change forms to maximize our efficiency in battle. But that's not even the main purpose. The most important thing about this transformation is that it magnifies our bloodline ability significantly. The ancestral transformation has two forms.
This is the first form, and as for the second form, my cultivation is too low for to transform." Alia explained while enjoying her man's reactions to her transformation.
"Interesting, then let's begin," Sam raised a broadsword he chose for training in a battle stance.
In a blink of an eye, both of their figures disappeared from where they were standing, reappearing at the center with their swords blocking each other with a clang.
"You got faster," Sam jumped backward, putting so distance between them before launching at her, swinging his mock sword horizontally.
"And stronger," Alia could clearly follow Sam's movents. Using her increased mobility, she launched at Sam, intending to block his attack.
Clang!
Seeing Alia block his attack, Sam grunted, pulled back, and launched at her again and again.
They repeated these moves over and over. Sam learned a lot of moves and sword techniques with their back-and-forth exchange. Alia, being a sword user, showcased her skills in the art of swordsmanship.
"It seems I can finally stop holding back," Sam beca excited as he finally unleashed his full strength, his presence growing stronger.
"Were you still holding back, darling?" Alia could feel Sam's strength grow. In her ancestral form, her senses were enhanced, and because of that, she could accurately feel how strong Sam truly was.
'My darling can easily overpower even in my first ancestral form. Is this what it ans to be a Supre path cultivator?' Alia thought with a shocked expression.
"Of course, honey, I didn't want to accidentally hurt you, but now in your first Ancestral form, I think you might be able to match my strength," Sam replied.
'I highly doubt that,' Alia could clearly gauge his strength, and he was definitely stronger than her. She might only be able to overpower him if she could transform into the second form of the ancestral transformation.
"Co at with your full physical strength, and don't hold back. I want to know what my limit is."
The ground beneath her cracked as Alia launched at Sam with her right hand fingers balled, intending to punch Sam with her full physical strength.
But Alia's fist only t with air, as Sam, with fluid movent, easily dodged with minimal struggle. 'He dodged it.'
Alia, not giving a second to rest, slashed at Sam's figure with her left leg, but alas, it t with air again. Alia may be fast, but Sam was faster.
"Again," Alia punched again and again, but Sam dodged her again and again with minimal effort too. "He is not just strong; he is faster."
"Princess Yuna, you are a lightning Qilin, speed is your forte, isn't it?" Ophelia asked as she observed Alia and Sam disappearing and appearing randomly on the battlefield as if teleporting, exchanging punches and kicks.
Every ti they made a move, they appeared at a random spot on the training ground.
It was not like they were teleporting; they were moving so fast that they appeared to be teleporting to the eyes of Ophelia.
But Lenora, being a peak stage Spirit Severing realm cultivator, could easily follow their movents. As for Yuna, she was using her lightning ability to track their movents.
No matter how hard Alia, in her first form of the ancestral transformation, tried, she could not co close to catching Sam.
"Yes, Princess Yuna, as a lightning Qilin, you are probably the fastest out of the five of us. Do you think you can overpower Darling in terms of agility?" Lenora joined.
"In my opinion, he should be unmatched in terms of pure speed in Nascent Soul realm, but I might have an edge over him if I use my lightning, though," Yuna replied as she compared Sam's speed with those she had co across who specialize in speed.
If she compared him with herself, she calculated that she should be able to overpower him in terms of speed.
Yuna focused her eyes on Alia and Sam's sparring. If one looked closely, they would see little sparks of lightning dancing around her eyelids.
Qilins were known for their extraordinary ability to manipulate lightning, but it didn't stop just at that.
They could use this destructive and aggressive elent to boost their speed, enabling them to see things slower and in more detail. Their brains could process information much more diversely.
Along with the ability to manipulate the second most aggressive and destructive elent, they were without a doubt one of the strongest races in the world.
It has been said that royal Qilins with pure bloodlines could even turn into pure lightning and travel through clouds.
"Qilins are such broken beings. Their speed and lightning would be a cause of a headache to overco," Lenora exclaid.
"Well, werewolves have high physical strength compared to Qilins. I guess everything is balanced as it should be," Ophelia replied with a smile.
"Um...you don't have to address as Princess. After all, we are s-sisters now, aren't we?" Yuna said slowly.
"Hehe, of course, Sister Yuna." Lenora pulled Yuna into a hug.
"Yes, I will call you Sister as well," Ophelia said as her attention turned back to Sam's spar with Alia, which had now co to an end.
Alia's ancestral transformation beca undone, and she caught her breath, "Darling, you are too fast. I can't even keep up with you, even in my ancestral form, and your physical strength is more than strong enough to overpower mine."
Sam saw the other three girls approaching them. "How strong do you think I am compared to other prodigies?"
"If I compare the prodigies of the Lumin Dynasty to you, in terms of agility, you are definitely unparalleled. But if the Qilins use their lightning ability, they could easily overpower you. It would be another story if you had lightning ability, though," Yuna gave her opinion.
"I do have an affinity for lightning, Yuna," Sam added.
"I'm not talking about elental affinities; I'm talking about bloodline abilities related to lightning. Having lightning elental affinity increases your comprehension of lightning-related abilities, but that can't be compared to having innate lightning ability like I do."
"For example," Yuna raised her hand and summoned her lightning, tendrils of blue lightning zapped around it.
"You have lightning affinity, but you can't summon lightning like I do because Qilins like have a physiology that has evolved to create pure lightning, which we can manipulate."
She was right. Having an affinity for one elent and having the ability to create and manipulate that sa elent are completely different.
"I understand. Then how can I deal with soone like you, Yuna?"
"You can't, darling, unless you have so sort of techniques or use your own specialty to overco your disadvantage."
"Use my own specialty..."
Every race has its own specialty in which they would always find the upper hand.
Lightning Qilins were naturally fast; they could overpower anyone in the sa realm of cultivation in terms of agility.
Vampires had their stronghold in resilience, with high regenerative abilities that could easily heal from life-threatening injuries in seconds, though it only applies to noble vampires.
As for werewolves, they have extraordinary physical strength. They also possess high affinity with the nature itself.
While dragons have strong bodies and possess both physical strength and resilience to a high degree.
