Gabe stood in the Family's personal Fighting ring inside their large training. The training room was at least twice the size of the front hall showing again where the Greenwood family’s heart really was. and it had ten fighting rings, Countless mats and training dummies, Open spaces for move training, and fire prove hard wood walls that would take even the most powerful blows without a scratch.. Strength and dedication was the motto written above the door and from what Gabe had seen the family stuck to it. No’one in this house was ever caught slacking not even the youngest. Vernon stood outside the ring with a patient and expectant look sipping some form of herb tea in a small cup. Matthew stood beside him smiling with his arms crossed. Two of the younger children of the house were also watching and Seygo was stretching, preparing for a fight she didn't want to lose. "Matthew, does your friend think this will be such an easy fight?" Vernon asked his Descendant beside him. "He is just standing there watching her, no preparation. No warming up, or meditation before the fight to clear his mind." Matthew grinned. "Grandfather I believe he is preparing mentally. From our fight it was easy to tell that he had planned his moves delicately. Gabriel is a grand strategist who also thinks well on his feet. And his speed is considerably faster then my own. He might get more then he thinks he will from Seygo, but he is no fool. This fight will be very interesting." Vernon smiled. "I hope so, I haven't seen a good fight in a while." after another sip of his tea he looked at Matthew with wide eyes. “you said he was even faster than you…” Matthew grinned. “Yes Grandfather. beyond a doubt he must have a rare and potent Speed trait. Almost certainly the most powerful trait his Nexus wasp had to offer.” Vernon nodded. “He really must be lucky to have gotten the peak speed trait of his beast so soon in his cultivation. If only he had bonded with stronger beasts, something with a high blood line. Instead of those Two weak things.” Matthew nodded. “his beasts do have weak blood lines, but they are far stronger than they should be. I believe he has done something to strengthen them.” Vernon nodded. “Yes your uncle told me something like that. What a luck prone kid. Surely he has lived a far more interesting life than most his age already to heave so many secrets.”

Gabe was watching the Beautiful girl in her Blue lose robe stretch and his mind was completely blank. He wasn't sure what to expect, but he could see no way to lose today as he held back an ear to ear grin that would make his feelings known if he showed it. He was going to be fighting with such a wonderfully gorgeous opponent. The only thing that could go wrong was if he hurt her, or if she beat him too easily. He wanted to impress her, to be both strong and gentle somehow. This fight would be difficult but one he wouldn't pass up for the world. Finally she took a breath and stepped into the ring. Vernon flicked his hand and the shield went up. Seygo bowed and Gabe did like wise. "I wish you a good match." Gabe said. She grinned. "Thank you, but I wish you a terrible one." Gabe smiled back and summoned his Dark Death Boar. The big black hog was at least Seventeen feet tall now and his purple stripe contrasted with his mostly black body. Then the two charged forward towards the pretty girl. Seygo didn't look phased at all and used a move called Black Wall. Where a wall of shadow rose up across the whole ring cutting the space in two halves. Gabe stopped inches away, knowing better then to plunge in blindly through such a wall. Traps could be laid, plots could be set. The moment he stepped through the block he would be in danger. Instead he reached out with his soul sense and found the wall wasn't very difficult for him to sense through.

Vernon watched with deep interest as the boy was able to push his soul sense through Seygo's shadow wall. He must have a powerful sense to do so as the shadow wall blocked any form of sight through it. Gabe could see clearly that seven Lightning traps were set up in a fence like way directly on the other side of the shadows. Seygo had built the fence so quickly he was impressed. He could see that she was also not staying idle. She was standing with a lightning energy sword in her hand and using a move called Strength Channeling to draw the energy from around them and convert it into physical strength. He grinned. She was a smart cookie. She knew that if he was as strong as Matthew then he'd be much stronger then her. Gabe summoned his Nexus wasp and split it into two. Then he had them fly above the fence of lightning without triggering it and plunge through the cloud. Seygo reacted immediately channeling Spirit energy into her sword and shooting two bolts of Blue lightning at the wasps. The beasts took the lighting like it was only a nuisance and flew towards her even faster in their anger. Seygo jumped out of the way at the last second and cut one of them with her lightning sword. The blade drew blood from one of the wasps faces but didn't stop it and a battle of buzzing insects and skilled swordsmanship broke out. Gabe was not staying idle ether as he watched the fight with his soul sense. He was using his Shrunken head move. He created over two dozen floating faces beside him, which put a large strain on his mind and body but he held up. He also made a double of himself with his dark Double shadow ability and then waited for the perfect moment, strained to keep his moves going all at the same time. To those watching it seamed as if Gabe could do a hundred things at once, with both his beasts summoned, countless shrunken heads under his control, and a shadow double, his head should be swirling right now from all the multitasking but he seamed perfectly fine. Everyone was impressed.

Seygo fought and dodged back from the wasp as fast and hard as she could. They were faster then her as their moves turned blurry with speed, but she was too skilled to get hit. She was forced into a retreat however as Gabe had the wasps go all out leading her to the middle of the ring. Then on the perfect moment he sent his Dark Death Boar through the Shadow wall. It ran straight into Electrical fence of Lightning between the traps and let out a Loud painful moan, falling to its front knees and sliding across the ground. The traps were only good for one use and with Seygo too busy fighting off her Attackers she was unable to shore up the hole that the Death boar had made. Gabe stepped through and charged at her. His two dozen shrunken heads Following behind him, these shrunken heads were the advanced version of his mask move now that he’d mostly mastered it. When Seygo saw the hoard coming for her, her eyes widened and she frowned before smiling as she saw Gabe coming for her. With a flurry of movements she used the Thunder of the Sky move and a Bolt of super powered White hot lightning struck Gabe in the chest and flowed from him to half of the shrunken heads behind him killing them. When he was hit he vanished out of existence like a cloud of smoke and Seygo cursed still fighting off the wasps. She'd used Half her energy on that one attack and couldn't do it again. It was supposed to be her trump card to one hit kill Gabe like Matthew suggested but she'd fallen for such an idiotic trick. She was impressed, this Man had very few moves compared to most she had fought but he knew how to use them and when to use them. distracting her with the Wasps while using two different moves to throw her off and make her believe it was actually him coming at her must have been his plan all along. How could he have made so many things all under his command?

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

As the rest of the Shrunken heads came at her she realized she couldn't fight them off along with the wasps she would be forced to summon her beasts for backup. Suddenly Two powerful figures appeared in front of the Approaching heads. One was a Dark humanoid shaped Giant that stood ten feet tall, it had three eyes one in the middle of its head. And it held a long curved sword in its hand. The other was a Raven black Giant bird figure with lightning moving through its body and thunder sounding wing flaps. These were the Silent Warrior Giant, and the God of storm Phenix. Both were extremely rare and powerful beasts. And they began to fight with well trained power. Gabe paused a moment on the other side of the Shadow wall. The two beasts she had just called were high Grade deity beasts. Both the Phenix and the Giant never conformed into a higher beings, they were already pure blooded. They only Cultivated for more strength and power. Both of these Beasts were extraordinary among their class the giant was impressive and threatening with it's sword In one hand and the large thirty foot Figure that towered over everything else. But the God of storm phoenix was a true sight to behold. Anyone with any knowledge of Phenix's knew that the god of Storm was one of the Rarest most coveted Phenix's. Only a handful had ever had one as a soul beast. They were expert at hiding, and even a low master level one could stay unseen by an Avatar Realm Channeler if they wanted. They also had valued Beast traits, like the Thunder Wing. A trait that allowed a low level Channeler to fly for short periods of time if they had it. Or the Fist of lightning trait that Gave a channeler the ability to pour perfect spirit energy into their attacks. Perfect spirit energy was many times more powerful and unique then regular spirit energy and would make the blow Ten times stronger. The phoenix hovered there with a long sharp beak and cold frightening eyes. Its wings were sky blue and lighting flashed across the surface of its entire body including it’s sharp powerful talons which gave an aura of rending the heavens in two.

Gabe didn't have time to change his plans though and plowed forward through the Shadow wall. His death boar was injured but able to get up and his wasps were cut in several place but still flying. Seygo had three wounds on her left arm but was still going strong as well, if only slightly tired. Gabe plowed forward towards the giant. The beast struck an intimidating figure as it Finished off the last of the shrunken heads that had been attached to the Phoenix sucking it’s life energy. Gabe leaped up at it with a spirit power Punch. The Giant swung it's sword to meat him and the blade broke as it met with Gabe’s fist but did launch him against the shield wall. Gabe was a bit shaken but unharmed as he stepped away from the wall. Giant's were expert fighters he realized he should have aimed for the Phoenix first. He got back up and had his Death boar charge the giant with the now broken sword. His death boar was stronger then the giant, it’s power level far surpassing what it was before Gabe ate that pill. Then Gabe charged towards Seygo wo was still busy with the wasps she was fighting. A few yards away from his target the God of storm phoenix attacked him with a sweeping claw just like he thought it would. He released his death cloud and engulfed the creature while dodging that nasty lightning filled swipe. It began to cough and choke in an instant and slowly it fall down on the ground in pain. The lightning on it’s body dying out slowly showing it would be dead in a few seconds. Gabe just jumped over it and kept heading towards Seygo. The Phoenix died and disappeared before he even reached the woman who twirled and swung her sword at his head trying to keep him away. Gabe was too quick however and ducked speedily under the swing. They then began a deadly dance as Gabe attacked with his Two wasps and her skill with the blade was all that kept her from harm. She used moves to keep Gabe at bay in between swings and blocks, balls of lightning, ropes of darkness, blades of every size made of energy were thrown his way all while she fought with her sword, he let her keep fighting and pushed her hard enough to tire her out. Dodging sword swings and lighting bolts while smiling gently and trying to get her to like him. Her attacks got less and less powerful as she tired and the wasps began to get more and more strikes in seaming to have endless stamina. When Gabe's Death boar stomped the Silent Warrior giant to death after defeating it she finally stopped. "I concede!" She shouted and Gabe released all his moves his Beasts disappearing in the blink of an eye. Her sword also vanished as her sweat glistening body heaved with each breath. Gabe was breathing heavy too but not nearly as hard. He smiled at her as she bowed with her hands together. "You win. Thank you for this match." He bowed back, never taking his eyes off her. Even drenched with sweat, and her hair windblown and wild. She still looked beautiful. Her smile made his Heart rate quicken she didn’t seam too phased by the loss. Gabe tried to control his feelings but couldn’t stop grinning. "Thank you also for the challenge Seygo. You are more skilled with the blade then I have ever seen for an Apprentice realm Channeler you must have a wonderful master. It was an honor to fight you."

Vernon looked on at the young man with two Soul-Beasts with his usual old smile wiped off his face. He'd never seen anyone but Matthew defeat Seygo. And Matthew was levels and years ahead. This man was below her, but was stronger faster and hadn't even tried his beast during the fight. He had waited for her to surrender, clearly not wanting to harm her. He took a direct hit from her Warrior Giant's blade with his bare fist and not only broke it, but barely felt it at all. And that was only half of the phenomenons in this one fight. Vernon's intuition was lighting up red flags all over this boy. Like the discoloration of both his Soul-Beasts. That was almost a sure sign he had gotten his hands on a Beast enhancement treasure which meant Matthew was right. And from the way his Beasts were so strong it must have been at least a med grade one. "I had believed it a fluke when he defeated me." Matthew said to his ancestor in awe. "But watching him defeat that Champion realm Channeler at the Channeler tests, and now Seygo so easily. I'm not certain I could defeat him even if we fought again. I will have to train harder." Vernon patted his Descendant on the back. "I think you train too much already Matty just like me. But if you plan to challenge him again, do so soon. Don't wait until he has the chance to surpass you. Talents like that don't stay stagnant." Matthew nodded he would do it before the end of the year. After he had mastered the new skill he was working on. Once he mastered his family’s technique he would definitely have an advantage. After all Gabe didn’t have access to high grade moves or techniques, it was unfair but a win would still be a win.
