After Evelyn arrived, the rest didn't take much to make it there. Ebirah and Sierra had yet to reach the seventh level, but their cultivation was different since they were pure beasts without human-body origins.
Innate skills were something that appeared in a more natural way, and they didn't evolve. Hence, speaking about skills now was the same as talking about them after they reached it.
Yasenia sat with her legs crossed, leaving a hollow between them to let Kaleina coil there while resting her face on Mommy's soft and comfortable thigh.
Yasenia asked with a smile and a wagging tail. "Well, dears. Let's start. I'm really curious. Who goes first?"
Evelyn lifted an arm. "If you don't mind, I'll go first."
Andrea leaned back and shrugged. "Go ahead. We have quite a lot of time, after all."
Evelyn smiled. "Well, I'm still working on substituting most of my skills. It will take at least a year or so. However, I know what kind of direction I want to take."
Cecile was very talkative when fighting, skills, and similar themes appeared, so she was quick to ask. "Are you going to take advantage of your intents?"
Evelyn nodded. "Smart! During these three years, all of us have understood our intents' first level."
Valeria intervened. "That's something really impressive and out of the norm, to be honest. However, I think it is because it's just the first level. Understanding basic concepts is not that complicated. Going deep in them is where the complications lay."
Yasenia agreed. "Besides my Monarch Intent, which was pushed a level because of a change in mindset when I got rid of those two S.L.U.T.s who betrayed me, the others are still stuck in the first level."
Evelyn proudly stated. "Well, I understood a total of four intents!"
Kali blinked. "Weren't they three?"
Evelyn laughed. "Well, you see. I have created a "personal" lightning type. It's still not mixed completely, but I think I'm getting somewhere."
Mirrory materialized and floated above Angel. Evelyn sneaked a peak at the "mature" red-haired and green-eyed Angel. 'Really big, really wow.'
Mirrory asked. "After you are done looking at my breasts, can you summon a bolt of that lightning?"
The girls gave her a side-eye, and Evelyn coughed. "Here."
She extended her arm, and white lightning crackled alongside her arm. The power was nothing to scoff at.
Mirrory nodded. "Luminous Lightning."
Evelyn blinked. "It's already a thing?"
Mirrory looked at her with a deadpan expression. "If you want to create something I've never seen during my extremely long life without being a complete out-of-the-system person like that dragon, you are still too young."
Yasenia blinked innocently. "Me?"
The whole room deadpanned this time. Evelyn coughed. "Well, I'm in the midst of creating this lightning, fusing my Light and Lightning elements."
Tatyana hummed. "Have you all consumed all the [Elemental Enhancement Pills]?"
Andrea asked. "We are still in the fourth year since we received them, so we should all have one set of them left, right?"
Angel nodded and said with a serious face or an attempt at doing one. "Selena told me to be careful and only consume one of each a year!"
Sierra was curious. "Who is Selena?"
Ebirah also asked. "Which pills?"
Andrea picked up the recent adult and sat her on her lap sideways. After all, the pink lobster tail was not as flexible as Yasenia's dragon tail, and sitting her on her lap was a bit of a hurdle. "Selena is Angel's personal maid, Sierra. She is a red lamia and a very strong combatant. A master in formations, sword, and shield fighting."
Andrea looked down at the little woman, looking at her curiously. She smiled and commented. "The pills are these."
Andrea took out a pill jar with a single pill inside. "These are called [Sun Enhancing Pill]. A person can eat up to five of them and have a very slim chance of evolving the attributes they are enhancing."
Ebirah sniffed it, and her pupils dilated. "Smells so nice~."
Kali at the side chuckled, her three tails swaying gently. "I'm already starting to learn those pills. But they are peak-level Heaven-Ranked and between one of the most complicated to craft below the Transcendence Realm. Not to mention, the ingredients are so rare that I'm still growing a few of them in my ring."
Ebirah deflated, looking a bit sad she couldn't eat them. Kali laughed gently as her tender tone of voice reached Ebirah's ears. "However, once I know how to make them, I'll make a batch of [Ice-enhancing] and [Lightning Enhancing] for Sierra and [Sun Enhancing] and [Water Enhancing] for you, little Ebirah."
Sierra, at the side, wagged her tail and smiled. "Thank you, Lady Kali."
Ebirah smiled widely, and her Lobster tail slapped the cough with up and down motions. "Thank you, Kali!"
Kali nodded. "No need for honorifics, Sierra."
Sierra shook her head. "Until I have a comparable bloodline level, I will give the respect I must."
Kali sighed and nodded.
Angel asked. "So, Evelyn. What were you saying about the skills?"
Evelyn flashed and sat behind Angel, fondling her little friend's breasts. "Well, you see, little Angel."
Angel's eyebrow twitched in irritation. "Can you stop groping my breasts first?"
Evelyn sighed. "You don't complain when we are together at night-."
BANG!
She flew upward with a graceful arc and fell on her back right before Yasenia.
Evelyn looked at the ceiling, stunned. "I didn't even see it coming."
Yasenia smiled and picked her up with her long tail, laying Kaleina and Evelyn side by side on top of her as she leaned sideways on the long couch she was on.
Cecile took Yasenia's legs onto her lap, and Yasenia's head fell on Tatyana's lap. "Stop being mischievous, dear. I know you are excited, so you can fondle me if you want relief."
Who was Evelyn to deny that offer?
Evelyn spoke as her hands sunk in her favorite softness. "Well, as I was saying, my four intents are [Luminous Lightning Intent], [Spear Intent], [Storm Intent], [Threader Intent]."
Valeria's eyebrows rose. "Threader Intent?"
Evelyn nodded.
Valeria commented. "That's a powerful one."
The mischievous girl tilted her head, her hands still fondling Yasenia seriously. "Isn't it a tailoring-related intent?"
Valeria smiled. "Perhaps."
Evelyn's eyebrow twitched when hearing that familiar "I know the answer, but I won't tell you" from Valeria. Yasenia chuckled and pushed her fringe to the side to plant a soft kiss. "Continue, love. We are listening."
Evelyn nodded with a sweet smile. She hugged Yasenia normally and continued. "Well, my attacking techniques were very low-level. Most of them I found in the Academy's library, and they were nothing but earth-level skills. So, I followed your steps and created my own skills!"
Yasenia praised her. "Dear, that's fantastic."
Evelyn made a bit of a silly laugh. Although she was a perverted person, honest praise from Yasenia made her shy and happy. "Listen, listen. For attacking, the skills I will be using are these."
Evelyn said. "First, I have the skills [Radiant Spear Flash], [Seven Radiant Lightning Steps], [Flowing Storm Spear Strikes], [Luminous spear throw], [Luminous Phantom Assault], [Luminous Spear Barrage], [Luminous Lightning Barrage], and finally, [Thunder Soul Destruction]."
Cecile asked. "Oh, there are a few new ones."
Evelyn stood up and took out her spear. "Here, I'll show you."
Then, Evelyn performed the skills one by one. The open space she was using was filled with strengthening formations.
Andrea commented. "You still need to work on [Seven Radiant Lightning Steps]."
Evelyn nodded. "Yes. It is one of the skills I have yet to master."
Cecile asked. "Anything more?"
Evelyn nodded. "I have these other skills. First, [Storm Roaring Thunder Descent] summons my Natural Treasure on me as an enhancement. Then, [Luminous Storm Dress] is my elemental coat's latest transformation. Another enhancement skill. It lets me use my Luminous Lightning much better."
Evelyn continued waving her hand and summoning a white lightning spear. "[Luminous Spear] is the basis of many of my skills. It helps me create lightning spears with the Luminous Lightning. It is very lovely to use and understand this lightning."
Evelyn smiled, dissipating the crackling spear. "[Luminous charge], [Thunder light overcharge], [Thunder light shield], [Flash Lightning Steps], [Light Bending: Nine Illusions], and finally [Thunder Light Sky Domain] are the rest of my normal skills."
Angel exclaimed. "They sound powerful!"
Evelyn puffed her non-existent chest. "Of course!"
Cecile asked again, interested in the rest. "You said normal skills. What more do you have?"
Evelyn laughed. "Well, there are the skills from the inheritance and my innate skills. Let's start with the innate skills. First, my [Electric Light Disaster] transformed into the [Luminous Lightning Calamity], then, my [Electric skin] became [Luminous Lightning Body], and finally, [Light and Lightning Devouring] gained quite a badass name, [Heavenly Lightning Devourer]."
Andrea exclaimed. "Wow! Heavenly?"
Mirrory commented. "That's one of the best devouring skills. Congratulations, Evelyn."
Evelyn smiled widely, very happy with the praise.
Kali asked. "What about the inheritance skills?"
Evelyn nodded and answered. "Well, there is [Storm's Descent], a super powerful skill that summons a literal lightning storm that attacks my enemies, and I can also use it to devour lightning myself. Then, there is [Storm Lightning Body], a body-enhancing skill. I become a few times stronger when I use this, but it consumes a lot of energy. Then, I learned [Lightning Temple's Blessing], a defensive skill."
Yasenia walked forward and hugged her little dear. "You are so talented, love. I'm delighted. Tonight, you can ask for any reward you want."
Evelyn blinked. "Dragon Di-Mmmph!"
Yasenia sealed her mischievous mouth with a deep kiss. After making the dear between her arms a blob, Yasenia looked at the others and asked. "Who wants to go next?"
Angel stepped forward, excited, and tiptoed while puckering her lips.
Yasenia was confused. "What are you doing, baby?"
Angel blinked. "Aren't you asking who wants to be kissed next?"
Yasenia laughed and hugged her, kissing her deeply. Then, she suggested. "Do you want to say your skills next?"
Angel tilted her head. "Do I say all the formations I know?"
Yasenia was about to say yes, but Tatyana interrupted. "Say the main ones only, Angel. We don't want to be here for a week."
Yasenia pouted. She wanted to listen. Tatyana snorted. "You can ask later if you want. But not now."
Yasenia sighed. "Okay, later, you tell me all your skills, okay, Baby?"
Angel smiled sweetly. "Okay!"
They didn't return inside and stood outside in case they wanted to demonstrate like Evelyn.
Angel was picked up by the dragoness and said her skills as if everybody would know what they did. "Well, my most useful combat formations are [Vaporizing Laser Formation], [Formation Destruction], [Shattering Crystal Core], [Prismatic Bloodthirsty Golem formation], [Prismatic Death Crystal Imprisonment], [Iridescent Structure Amplifying Formation], [Magnifying Laser Wheel Formation], and [Thousand Mirage formation]."
Angel continued without any explanation. "Then, I can boost my formations with [Red Crystal Enhancement] and [Prismatic Energy Boost]. Oh, my energy coat has evolved into some kind of aura called [Prismatic Scarlet Heart Glass]! My defense is very tough with it!"
Angel rambled on. "Then, I know normal skills that aren't formations! Mirrory taught me a few! For example. I know [Prismatic Crystal Shield], [Light Severing Sword], [Glass Shattering], and [Eight Brilliant Swords]."
The rest had their lips twitched. Andrea asked, "What do the formations do, little Angel?"
Angel blinked and answered. "Well, using my new constitution and formation knowledge and applying the Formation Step eight from the Academy advanced formation books and the runes learned in the Lost Town formation book, I can refer to the sixth intermediate formation…"
Even Yasenia, whose theoretical knowledge of formations was off the charts, got lost mid-way because she had not read a few of the reference books Angel had mentioned.
Angel was so cute, soft-spoken, and sweet that sometimes they forgot she was an ultra-genius and extremely intelligent woman who gained heavy praise and recognition from Tatyana and Mirrory.
Angel continued. "… So, using the forty-fourth rune and seventh symbol, the [Vaporizing Laser Formation] is completed, summoning an area with various focal points that summons waves of lasers and attack everything within it."
Yasenia blinked twice and smooched her cheek. "My little genius is so cute~."
Angel smiled sweetly and hugged her neck while laughing. "Hehehe~."
Angel asked, curious. "Do you want to know about the other formations, Andrea?"
Andrea coughed. "No need. Continue with your innate skills, little Angel."
Angel nodded and spoke. "Well, my [Illuminating Beam] became [Shattering Prismatic Light]. It is a fascinating skill because I summon a Glass beam that explodes with extreme strength. It really opened my eyes when I shot a glass beam. I didn't know Glass could take fluid forms like plasma or light."
Yasenia laughed. "What more, baby?"
Angel blinked. "Well, the [Crimson Heart Surge] also changed into [Crimson Crystal-heart]. The effects are similar to your berserk skills, Yasenia."
Yasenia answered. "Oh really?"
Angel nodded. "It even changes my hair and eyes!"
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "Oh? To red hair and green eyes?"
Angel nodded and frowned. "Yasenia, do you think that is strange?"
Yasenia softly kissed the crease on her otherwise smooth forehead. "Of course not. You are as pretty and lovely with red hair as you are with blonde hair, love. The eyes are also like emeralds, gorgeous."
Angel blushed and hugged Yasenia's neck tighter with a silly smile. "Hehehe, I also think you are the most beautiful in the Universe, Yasenia."
Evelyn wanted to shout that Yasenia didn't say that, but knowing her friend's selective hearing with Yasenia, she didn't bother."
Angel commented. "Then, my third innate skill changed from [Laser Carom] to [Mirror World]."
Mirrory interjected. "I might have some influence in that change."
Yasenia asked. "Anything I shall worry about?"
Mirrory shook her head. "Nothing. It's quite good, actually. She will be more connected to me, and she will probably be one of my strongest users in the future."
Yasenia nodded. "That's good to hear."
Cecile asked, with competitive light in her eyes. "What are your intents?"
Angel smiled proudly. "I've learned [Truth Intent], [Glass Evocation Intent], and [Energy Flow Intent]."
Tatyana whistled. "Those are some major intents. The little girl is shaping to become a behemoth."
The Moon Phoenix knew that the second strongest, excluding seniors, was not her but Angel, so she had some rivalry with her.
Cecile nodded, thoughtful. 'Hmm… Even without Mirrory, beating Angel is quite complicated. She is really strong. I should have a four out of ten chances to beat her.'
Angel innocently asked Cecile, "What about you, Cecile?"
*********************************************
Author: Well, the next chapter will have Cecile's, Kali's, and Andrea's skills!
Yasenia: What about Mom's, Valeria's, and Mirrory's?
Author: That's a mystery~.
Tatyana: Why not say the truth that there are too many?
Author: Well, I could show your main skills, but I want to keep you and the other three seniors a mystery~.
Evelyn: Tsk.
Author: Either way, I summon you!
Randomplant: Hello!
Angel: Hello!
Randomplant: Little Angel, very impressive. We always forget what kind of little genius you are.
Angel: O-Oh, thanks for the praise~. Haha.
Randomplant: Either way, here is the question. Is it possible for someone with a unique element to only possess that element and no others? And would you have to use a cultivation style designed only for that element?
Tatyana: I suppose it is for us, seniors?
Randomplant: Yes!
Mirrory: Well… Unique elements like Yasenia's Celestial Element can't be the only type in a cultivator. The cultivator at birth, even if they are a beast, would be unable to hold it. So… they would die.
Valeria: Imagining a newborn's dantian holding Celestial Energy makes it quite clear.
Randomplant: Woah… I didn't need that image in my head.
Valeria: Hahaha, you are the one who asked~.
Randomplant: Either way, are there cultivation techniques for Unique Elements?
Mirrory: Of course. Those elements have had predecessors, and these people created cultivation techniques. Now, the difficult part is finding them.
Randomplant: It makes sense.
Author: And that's all for today. See you later, little lurkers~.
