《Shining Duos》Five Divine Geniuses

"Really? I'm the first one out?" Kazami had breathed out, too exhausted to even get up from his spot.
"Yes, but the other four from your group won't be far behind. Oh, and take this to at least get yourself back on your feet."
Taking out a white pill, the Law Master tossed it straight into Kazami mouth with perfect accuracy.
Swallowing the pill Kazami immediately felt some energy coming back towards him; it was enough for him only to be able to move around again.
"Ah, and here they come now." The City Lord sensed and looked up to see one by one portal appearing and dropping Kuzumi, Lun Yuo, Lauren, and Castiel in exact order.
'Thud!'
They all slowly hit the ground none of them have enough energy to move similar to how Kazami was at first.
"Seems like some more pills are required." Law Master remarked as he tossed four more of the same pills in their mouths.
Once they have all taken the pill, the four of them sat up and noticed they were back on stage, and Kazami was already there first.
"God damn what a rush! Oh, brother, you seem like that black creature didn't affect you much" Kuzumi made her war to Kazami, checking him out, noticing he seems slightly less worn out than them.
"I wouldn't say I wasn't affected beside I received the same pill as you all, but I did awaken something important from that stage."
"Awaken? You mean like something inside your body jolted awake right?." Lun Yuo, who also sat beside the twin, asked since her mind was still on whatever jump-started inside her.
"Don't tell me you two activated a hidden bloodline power like us?" Lauren questions them while standing up and dusting herself off.

"No, this isn't some sort of strange coincidence. Was this all plan for us to awaken some sort of power everything adds up a little bit too muc.," Castiel said in a cross-legged position, still thinking about his bloodline activation.
"Hmm, for once you said something interesting, I also awaken something in the heat of battle. Maybe this was just a test for that?" Kuzumi also spoke up, recalling her experiences with the monster.
'Clap, Clap'
Two claps ranged out, and the group turned to the Law Master and the City Lord.
"Well now looks like I'm dealing with five little detectives. But still, I must say I'm beyond shock about the prowess you all posses" Law Master praised the group.
"And is it true about their combat prowess Psionics Law Master?" The City Lord had an expectant expression awaiting what kind of talents the group possesses.
Hearing about having an extraordinary combat prowess, the group perked up as most of them haven't fought anything beyond their level, not even Kazami and Kuzumi did when they would do their specialized training.
"Oh yes, it's very true you all believe it or not have the ability to contend with an early level Spirit Formation cultivator and that just a rough estimate as you all need to practice in your divine abilities."
"Divine abilities?" Question Kazami
"Didn't think for a second we would accidentally awaken something as cool as that!" Pumped up, even more, Lun Yuo boasted about themselves.
"Oh? It looks like my arsenal just expanded far wider than I thought." As if Kuzumi expected this, she had a proud look.
"Not bad, not bad at all if I do say so." Lauren nodded, happy with herself.
"Now, we're in business." Castiel finished off thinking about the possibility.

Smiling a bit Law, Master continued, "Now I would say, don't get a big head now, but this is truly wondrous. As you may or may not know, the Spirit Formation Stage is the true start to becoming powerful, and people in the stage all enhance themselves with Spirit Qi, which fully suppresses ordinary Qi in every way. And that monster you just faced was at the 1st level, but all of your attacks destroyed it in one hit."
"And not even geniuses in High God realms or even Central God Realms can boast about this achievement while being in the Qi connection stage. Hell at most, I only see outstanding geniuses skip five small levels in later realms but never in the Qi Connection Stage." The City Lord concluded, still amaze at the five potential.
"But you mention divine abilities. I can only assume we were able to go so far because of it; all of this was precisely at the aim of jump-starting us?" Kazami asked, slightly cautious of these two powerhouses.
"Like you, five are guessing I indeed made the monster quite powerful to draw forth your hidden potential. At your age, what you need most is extreme situations to breakthrough. Though none of you would've died when it came down to it." Law Master explained out to the five.
"I see so only when we thought we would die is when whatever latent abilities we have would've unleashed. Huh? Speaking off where is the rest of the competition, we didn't even see another one during the first stage completion." Kuzumi was looking around and asked.
"Huh, well, you see, the five of you had no problem with the first stage and completed it quickly and then went straight to the second stage, leaving the others in the dust. And now that you all finish the second stage, the rest are now struggling in the second stage, although I doubt they will have a clean victory as you guys did." Answered the City Lord.
"That right normally when I do conduct these games, I will let anyone who does show enough potential and determination to pass on, but nobody has ever in history manage to kill the monster or even beaten it back. Now, are you ready for the last stage I'm expecting good results." The Law Maser said while once again creating a strange black door.
"OF COURSE!" They all shouted eager to see what the last challenge that lied ahead of them.
"Alright, take a step right through here then." Pointing to the door, the group lined up right in front of it.

‘If you can survive the trials of treading a million nails, would you still go? If you are willing to encounter death at every step, dreading the next, are you still willing to enter? If you leave and experience the trials further still, would you do so? If you find yourself being pursued by everyone and everything, chasing you down to the edge of the cliff, would you jump to certain death or fight back and be labeled as a monster? You can choose whether or not you want to change your life right at this doorstep. If you do say no, then nothing will happen to you. If you say yes, then your life will change. Succeeding will bring you great power. And if you fail, then you will be enslaved within Oblivion for eternity. What is your answer?’ Tus heard the ancient voice that sounded like sandpaper as he stared at the altar with the land and sky frozen in motion. The words repeated themselves over and over again, forcing him to answer without the chance of taking it back. Armed with a borrowed sword and cheap armor that looked like wood, he said aloud without hesitation, “Yes!” The altar hummed, a green light flickered in the surroundings, and Tus ceased to exist.
