(Training Grounds)

At the training grounds, Xyrus can be seen standing alone with his hands behind him.

*Tak*

*Tak*

*Tak*

A rushing footstep was heard by Xyrus, and he saw Akeno rushing toward him.

"I'm sorry I'm late, master." Akeno apologizes while bowing her head.

"It's fine, let's start," Xyrus said before continuing, "We'll first enhance the basics, do you still remember the first technique I taught you?" To which Akeno nodded in confirmation.

"Yes. It's called Godspeed right?" Akeno said.

"Yes. We'll increase it in speed but I'm afraid your body might not be handle the strain, so we'll proceed for physical improvement first." Xyrus said while Akeno remembers their training schedule so she proceeded to warm up first.

"But, we'll change your training method to something harder but gives more benefits." Xyrus cut her off before continuing, "We'll do the same training as Master Feng, so for a week, you'll join Shang-Chi in his training." Then disappeared in a blue flash leaving Akeno.

Meanwhile, Akeno was just thinking about why did they even bother going to the training ground in the first place.

Instead of running again, she just portalled herself to Martial Hall where she could find Master Feng.

When she was inside, she saw her master chatting with Master Feng while Shang-Chi was doing handstand pushups with weights balancing on top of his sole.

"You'll do the same training as Shang-Chi's." Her master, Xyrus sai to her.

Akeno just nodded and left to get some weights.

Once she was back with the weights, she did the same as Shang-Chi and started handstand push-upping.

"Ichi."

"Ni."

"San."

"..."

While Xyrus and Feng are watching them train, Leslie was also training diligently with her master.

(3rd PoV)

With the Mystic Arts faction's participants' training, the same can be said with other factions like the Grigori.

(Grigori)

"Have you found someone who will be participating in the Faction Wars?" Azazel spoke to the fallen in front of him.

"Yes, I'm sure they'll bring great news to us," Kokabiel said calmly while deep inside, he was laughing maniacally, 'Kekeke, yes, yes, they'll bring great news!'

Azazel smiled at him, in fact, he already knew Kokabiel's plan, to betray him and restart the great war.

But he'll not interfere, not because he has a soft spot for his fellow fallen angel, but instead It's because he already informed the Sorcerer Supreme about him.

And the response he received was, 'Let him be, let the Fate take Its course. Nothing will be harmed.'

And he trusts him fully, why? Because rumors were roaming around the supernatural world that the Sorcerer Supreme was said to have the capability to see the future.

Although it has not yet been proven, Azazel knew that nothing was impossible in this world.

Let us wait.

(Heaven)

"Are they training?" Michael asks the angel in front of him.

The Angel nodded and spoke, " Yes Michael-sama, they are improving fast." Hearing what he said, Michael was happy.

At first, he was against the Faction Wars due to his belief but slowly he saw the benefit it gave.

Turning his head to the Angel, "I'll be seeing them training, if possible I'll be giving them pointers."

The angel nodded at this excitedly.

(3rd PoV)

While the factions we're training their participants, the same can be said for the old satan faction.

Inside a brightly lit room, a round table was in the middle while figures were sitting surrounding it.

"The Faction Wars is just a month away, what will be our next move?" One of them said while crossing her arms below her bosom.

" Let's try sending someone from ours first, then we'll try to win the prize." Another one said.

"Let's just swoop in and kill them all! We all are the descendants of the real satans, they should be kneeling in front of us." A man said while slamming his fists on the table.

" Don't be rash, fool." A woman snorted.

"Let's send someone from the Khaos Brigade first to test the waters, the Sorcerer Supreme is very active this year so we should be careful." The same woman said.

"We'll do as she says, ask Ophis for more of her snakes make sure not to consume it immediately, we'll wait once we're in then we'll test the waters." A man stood from his seat and told everyone.

They all nodded their head and proceeded to continue their meeting.

Meanwhile, Akeno and Shang-Chi were both sparrings in a deep forest.

*Fwoosh*

Shang-Chi dodged the incoming whip and then proceeded to jump from tree to tree.

"Fufufu, don't run away from me Chi-chan," Akeno said while holding her whip.

'What a masochist.' Shang-Chi sweated at what he heard.

"Don't worry once we're done training I'll treat you to a fancy dinner," Akeno said while chasing Shang-Chi.

Having no choice, Shang-Chi turned around and tries to kick Akeno on her chin.

Akeno just dodged this and whipped him with her whip.

Shang-Chi just crossed his arms and let his forearms take the hit.

*Hoo-Pssh*

He just felt an itch when her whip hit his forearms, thanks to his master's technique.

Shang-Chi then dashed forward and delivers a flurry of blows at Akeno.

Lightning crackled around Akeno while dodging Shang-Chi's blows with ease.

It might look like Shang-Chi was at disadvantage here but it was all because of the increased weight that he is wearing right now.

He first looked at his side where his master was positioned and gestures something.

Meanwhile, Feng who understood his gesture nodded at him.

Shang-Chi smiled at this, so he jumped back on a tree branch and proceeded to remove his weights.

While Akeno just kindly waits for Shang-Chi's power-up.

Without saying anything, Shang-Chi removed the weights on his wrists first.

Once removed, he threw it on each of his sides.

*BOOOOOOM*

A loud sound was created once the weights reached the ground.

Once the dust settles in, a huge crater can be seen on each side of Shang-Chi.

Then he continued and removed the weights on his legs and threw them again on his side.

*BOOOOOOOOMMMM*

An explosive sound was created again but his time it was much louder which means more heavier.

Once he is done, he cracked his fist and then his neck and said, "Let's dance!"

Akeno just smiled at this, it was worth the wait.
