The squad had just wrapped up their family visits, and the sun was setting over the floating islands. Energy readings from their battles earlier still lingered faintly, pulsing across the terrain.
Astro stretched, shadow and light flickering across his form. "Yo, mfana… time to see if these new eye powers are more than just flashy."
Tenji cracked his knuckles, golden light spilling from his aura. "Dawg… Big dawg's ready. Let's see if my fists are even nastier now."
Hunter tapped his holographic interface. "Bruh… I calculated the last battle's outcomes. Eye powers might actually make a difference if we train right. Let's get tactical."
Phantom emerged from the shadows, smirking. "Lowkey… this is gonna be fun. Shadows and tricks everywhere. Let's see what we can do."
Training Starts
Astro focused first. He summoned multiple shadow-light clones, each mimicking his movements. Normally, controlling more than two would be exhausting but his Galaxy Eyes let him perceive every clone at once, anticipating weak points in their own attacks to improve precision and timing.
"Yo… this is nuts," Astro muttered, flipping mid-air. "I can literally see the flow of energy, mfana. Every strike, every dodge… insane."
Tenji stepped forward. His fists glowed brighter than ever. Radiant Fist Vision let him see pressure points, trajectories, and energy buildup basically predicting every incoming strike.
"Bruh… it's like slow motion in my head," Tenji laughed. He swung, shattering a floating rock with pinpoint accuracy. "Big dawg leveled up, no cap."
Hunter took a few steps back, surveying the battlefield with his Strategic Grid Vision. Every object, enemy, and energy flow appeared as a grid overlay, allowing him to predict movements and manipulate objects remotely.
"Dawg… this is tactical god mode," Hunter said, smirking. "I can literally calculate every possibility."
Phantom melted into shadows, eyes reflecting everything around him. Mirror Shadow Vision let him track every movement in the dark, anticipate stealth attacks, and strike from unseen angles.
"Bruh… nobody's sneaking past me now," Phantom whispered, disappearing completely.
Mini-Level Threat Emerges
As they trained, energy readings spiked nearby. A Level 10 cultivator, stronger than Drexar but not elite, had shown up to test the new threats in the area.
Astro grinned. "Yo… mfana… looks like someone wants to test us."
The cultivator laughed. "So, you're the kids causing chaos earlier. Let's see how strong you really are."
Astro's clones swarmed immediately, analyzing every movement.
Tenji's fists glowed as he read the opponent's pressure points.
Hunter's grids mapped attack patterns and weak points.
Phantom struck from shadows, unseen.
The fight was chaotic but intense. The squad coordinated their eye powers, weaving attacks and dodges seamlessly.
"Dawg… barely keeping up," Hunter muttered. "But this synergy… we're insane."
The cultivator was pushed to the edge of defeat, retreating with a mix of fear and respect.
Astro's eyes swirled with light and shadow. "Bruh… that was tight. We're getting stronger, mfana."
Tenji laughed, wiping sweat. "Big dawg said it… next level unlocked."
Squad Banter & Reflections
After the fight, the squad regrouped on a cliff overlooking the floating islands.
Astro spun, shadow clones dissolving. "Yo… we gotta keep training. Universe's bigger than we thought. Eye powers are crazy, but we gotta master them."
Tenji flexed. "Bruh… big dawg agrees. Next fight? We gotta be ready to wreck some serious mfana."
Hunter nodded, scrolling through his holographic readouts. "Dawg… tactical advantage is key. Eye powers plus teamwork = OP."
Phantom smirked, merging with shadows. "Lowkey… I like this. Shadows, light, brains, and fists. We're a mix nobody can touch."
Foreshadowing Bigger Threats
Unbeknownst to them, Lord Kael had been watching their battles from afar. Energy readings were impressive, and he noted the squad's eye power awakening. Somewhere in the galaxy, Hub Goblins also picked up on the surge, their whispers hinting that these four mfana could shake the entire intergalactic hierarchy.
Astro grinned at the sunset. "Dawg… we're just getting started."
Tenji cracked his knuckles. "Big dawg ready for the universe, mfana."
Phantom disappeared into a shadowy gust. "Next level ain't waiting for anyone."
Hunter's holographic interface blinked with new readings. "Bruh… it's only gonna get crazier."
