3 months pass...
Zen had again been training with Ryuuka, however the battle was much more intense, blows were being exchanged one-by-one, though Zen seemed to be giving it his all, Ryuuka seemed to just be playing, the jet of light behind Zen's staff was not black this time, it was a light orange hue, it looked just like the sunshine, however there was and ever so slight amount of black sparks coming out of his staff, their speed looked to be unhuman, demon-like. Suddenly, it happened, jets of light behind both Ryuuka and Zen's staff had become completely black. Ryuuka's Talons and Zen's staff were about to collide, the pressure was surreal, rocks and stones were being crushed by the sheer amount of pressure, some large trees had fallen, their roots lay in the air. The collision would destroy the surroundings, they were ever so close, everything near them was about to be destroyed, just when Zen felt the demonic pressure he had felt a few months back, he was unable to move, unable to even lift a finger, Hyasu was back.
"You have grown quite strong haven't you, Zen?" asked Hyasu, in a terrifying, demonic tone. "You better believe I have, you son of a bitch" replied Zen, Struggling to speak, right when Ryuuka started flying as though there was no pressure being put onto her, she flew just like how she did n fights. "Doing well with Kyon cultivation I see" he said. "It seems that you have at least a few years' worth of Kyon right now, quite surprising.", the pressure started to lift. "C'mon lets head into the cave, he said as the pressure vanished. All three of them headed into the cave. "How strong did he grow in the past three months?" Hyasu asked Ryuuka, "He seems to be at least low to mid red rank in cultivation, excluding Qi and Mana. As for battle, he is almost Purple rank" replied Ryuuka. Zen lay confused and thus asked, "Red rank? Purple Rank? what's that" , "Well, where we're from, strength is measured in colours, starting with white, being the weakest and ending with black, being the strongest, red is the third highest rank" replied Ryuuka. "Speaking of where we're from, did you show Zen your human form?" asked Hyasu. "Human form?! You can turn into a human? how?!" said Zen, surprised by this statement, looking at Ryuuka, just when she had transformed into a beautiful, tall and young woman with pale white skin. "WHAA?!" Zen lay shook. Just when Zen and Ryuuka disappeared, into thin air. "WHAT THE FUCKK?!"
