Toro slightly leaned his head back dodging Gine's punch, before turning his body avoiding Fasha's kick, he reached out and grabbed her leg before flinging her towards Gine. Seeing this, Gine reached out her hand to catch Fasha, which gave Toro the oppurtunity to appear behind her, throwing a punch towards her back

  Sensing his actions, Gine turned around and crossed her arms to block, sliding back from the power of his punch. Not giving her time to react Toro rushed towards her only to jump to the side, dodging Fasha who had recovered, her fist creating a small crater the moment it came in contact with the ground

  Toro looked at Gine and Fasha who stood besides eachother with a slight smirk appearing on his face

  " I thought this was every man for himself, yet here you are jumping me. What am I too much for you two to handle? " said Toro, Gine and Fasha didn't reply to his words, merely gncing at eachother before they flickered and disappeared. Seeing this, the smirk on Toro's face disappeared as he scanned the surrounding area for their figures, only to suddenly raise his right arm blocking Gine's kick

  Before he could do anything he sensed Fasha appearing on his left side, his eyes unconsciously following her figure as she cocked back her hand to punch him in the side. What he didn't notice was the sucessful smile that appeared on Gine's face as she suddenly raised her other leg, wraping it around Toro's arm and leaned back, both her arms touching the ground as she pulled

  This caught him off guard as his upper body leaned forward suddenly, seeing this Fasha pulled back her punch, twisting her body as she swept his leg. Seeing his current predicament, Toro suddenly squatted down, bracing his core as he suddenly straightened back up lifting the surprised Gine off the ground as Fasha's kick connected to his leg, shattering his pants leg

  Toro grunted as his tail reached out for Fasha, catching her off guard as it wrapped around her neck and pulled her forward, he elbowed her in the face with his left hand knocking her away before he suddenly jumped, grabbing Gine's thigh with his left hand before he smmed her into the ground

  Gine's body bounced up as she let out a slight gasp of pain as her legs unconsciously loosened from around his arm. Toro leg go of her thigh before he grabbed her by the ankle, her calf resting on his shoulder as he turned around, his arm bulging as he smmed her into the ground once again, face first, which made her cry out in pain

  Only for Fasha to suddenly appear beside him, kicking him accross the head, forcing his head in the other direction as he slid back several metres, letting go on Gine's leg in the process. Toro raised his head and wiped the blood from his lip, a slight smile apearing as he looked at Fasha before his body flickered and shot towards her

  Only to suddenly tilt his head to dodge a ki bst that came from the side, Toro turned his head to the side and found Gine walking towards him, tearing off her shirt, leaving only a training bra as she put her hair in one

  " don't count me out just yet " said Gine as her smile was repced by a serious expression, her body suddenly being covered in a red aura as she turned into a red blur shooting towards him. Toro found himself grinning as he suddenly raised his arms to catch Fasha's kick, the ground beneath his feeth sinking from the impact, the sleave on his shirt ripping open

  He hurriedly raised his hand to block Gine's punch only for her to suddenly squat down and tackle him, lifting his feet clear off the ground as she ran forward, running right into a mountain, colpsing the surrounding area within 50 metres. Toro groaned in pain the moment his back hit the wall, only to suddenly cross his arms to block a double heel kick from Fasha, pushing him deeper into the mountain, dust kicking up from the impact

  With no intention of holding back the two continued to press their adavantage, working together to try to injure Toro who hurriedly tried to block their assault, losing his ground as the fight continued which made his lip twitch as he looked at the serious expressions on their faces

  ' are we still sparring? ' thought Toro as he grabbed their punches only to be kneed in the torso then kicked away, nding head first in stones. Seeing this Gine and Fasha gnced at one another before they fshed out of the tunnel they had made in the mountain, appearing in the air

  Gine and Fasha simultaneously dropped their hands to their sides as small balls of ki appeared in their hands before it suddenly enrged, red lighting crackling around them as they slowly pushed their arms forward

  " " TWIN MAIDEN BARRAGE " "

  Two massive red beams were shot out, twirling around eachother before they suddenly joined together becoming an even rger beam shooting towards the mountain below.

  Meanwhile, Toro suddenly pulled his head out of the stone, sliding to the ground to catch his breath, wondering if he had did something to the two of them but didn't realise or were saiyan women just like this. Only for his thoughts to be interuptted as he suddenly raised his head towards the sky, his eyes wide in disbelief

  " what the fuc- "

  The moment the beam hit the mountain, their was complete silence, followed by a deafening roar as a red mushroom cloud appeared evaporating the mountain and the surrounding areas

  Gine and Fasha looked at the several km wide crater in front of them, it was several km deep, seemingly endless. Their breaths slightly hurried as their eyes scanned the entire area for any movement. Only for a red beam of light to suddenly shoot up in the air as Toro flew out of the chasm, his aura causing the surrounding temperature to rise as he rose. The clouds above him dispersed

  His face was expressionless as he raised his head to looked at Gine and Fasha who were several km away. The next second, Toro appeared behind them, his arms slowling raised before coming down on their heads, his seemingly slow movements unavoidable as the two could do nothing but be knocked away, their bodies shooting towards the ground like meteors

  Skipping across the ground on impact, leaving deep trails in the ground as Toro raised his hand, a small ki ball appearing above his finger

  " my turn " said Toro calmly as the ki ball rose into the air, suddenly growing in size until it was 1km in circumference, dying the surrounding area a blood red, just before he was about to let it fall, he suddenly paused as he heard Gine and Fasha's ughter

  He appeared in front on them and looked at the two who propped up their injured bodies and ughed, seemingly not surprised by his arrival

  " we won " said Gine with a bright smile as she fell backwards, ughing. Her words confused Toro only to turn his attention to Fasha who started talking

  " we....we made you use your full strength " replied Fasha as she grabbed the shoulder that Toro hit, she ignored her pain as she smirked at Toro. Hearing their words, Toro fell silent, he didn't expect it was because of something like this which made him shake his head as he squatted down and looked at them

  " well done " said Toro, hearing his words, Gine and Fasha looked even happier only for their faces to freeze at the next set of words

  " now it's my turn " as he spoke the red sphere slowly fell from the sky in Gine's and Fasha's shocked gazes

  ***

  " seriously? " asked Kana as she gnced over Toro's disheveled figure before she turned her attention to the injured and unconscious Gine and Fasha in his arms " while blood ki can heal injuries, it's not omnipotent. And you guys have already used the healing pool today. What's wrong with you, you guys have done this every week for the past couple months "

  Toro gnced at Kana who was walking beside him, scolding him and the others and couldn't see any image of the once timid girl she was when they met a year ago. Well woman, she's 24, she's the oldest of their group, according to her, he saved her life, she would have died soon had they not met. She was his assistant and because of her age, she seemingly took on the big sister role

  It was nice... at times. This wasn't one of those times, she didn't understand why we had to spar or why are they became so intense at times and quite frankly he didn't have an answer either, it was just...fun

  Putting Gine and fasha in the medical bed, Toro went to his room to go wash up and get something to eat. Several minutes ter, he looked at the small amount of food in front of him and suddenly sighed

  " I never thought i'd see the say when a saiyan would eat so little " excimed Toro as he looked the 20lbs of food in front of him, while still way more than the average human, not to mention for one meal it was still less than the hundreds of pounds of food he used to consume, so the food he gained over the pass four years was enough to st them for a while, at least until a new set grew

  Mid way through his meal, Toro suddenly heard a chain snap in his mind and before he could figure out where it came from he found himself within the Omni tower

  { Criteria Met }

  { Omni Tower is being upgraded : Duration 72 Hours }

  [ Use will be resumed after upgrade is completed ]

  Looking at the panel in front of him, Toro scanned himself with the scouter and found that he had reached 100 thousand CP which futher confirmed his analysis. Raising his head, he found that he was still inside the omni tower and didn't get kicked out like st time

  He looked around and found that all the doors besides the Gravity room where now closed, he walked inside curiously, the moment he entered, a panel appeared before him, simir to the one when he learned about the physical path

  { Criteria met : Physical Path Advancement }

  { Purification }

  { Evolution }

  Toro looked at the two paths before him before he clicked on one to see the expnation

  { Purification : Condenses Blood Ki while removing impurities }

  [ Expnation : 5 Ki = 1 Blook Ki. This is conversion. During conversion, Ki is lost because Ki and Blood Ki are not equivalent. Through purification 1 Blood Ki will equal 5 Ki in terms on energy output while maintaining the benefits of Blood Ki ]

  Toro's eyes widened as he read the expnation finding that it filled in several bnks he had, for example if 1 blood ki = 5 ki why was the damage so much less. This answered that question, it was all his misunderstanding prior to this. While blood ki was denser and more stable than Ki it wasn't much purer

  If he's understanding this correctly, his combat power of 100,000 Blood Ki will be equivalent to someone with the power level of 500,000 in Ki. This made him wonder if the defensive aspect will carry through as well, which would mean it would take someone with 1 million CP to injure him, Toro almost instantly clicked this choice before he stopped himself and turned towards the other option

  { Evolution : sacrifice all Blood Ki to evolve bloodline }

  [ Expnation : the ancestors of all races are more powerful than their current decendants. Through the sacrifice of all Blood Ki, the cells are forced to evolved to a more primal state of existence, returning closer to their ancestral form. Benefits Unknown. Sucess Rate 98% ]

  Looking at this panel, Toro fell silent as he fell into his thoughts. The ancestors of saiyans? Ancient saiyans? Not a lot was known about them besides Yamoshi or shallot. In the original they were barely touched upon, in fanfictions they're either fodder not much different from the current saiyans or beings who could easily grow to the level of a god of destruction, simply by breathing. Making Broly look like a chump in terms of potential

  So he had no idea which was which. Quite frankly making this choice was almost unnecessary as the purification path was great, he saw no deficits, from the jump this evolution path would cost him his entire strength besides his physical body and the prize for such a big sacrifice was unknown

  And yet.....

  Toro's eyes lingered on the 98% chance of sucess. The rational choice was clear but if he had picked the rational choice he wouldn't be on this path in the first pce

  ' the omni tower is being upgraded, it will be much easier to get stronger in the future not to mention the ki food..... whispered a small devilish Toro

  ' you'll lose your strength, this is year 736, does Frieza ring a bell? Hello!!! this isn't the time to become a weakling, pick the purification path, easy, simple, stable ' Rebuted an angelic Toro

  An angel and demon argued on his shoulder, each making valid points, especially the angel, he had completely forgotten that next year marked the destruction of pnet vegeta, which means most saiyans will be killed while the remainder will either become trained dogs or walking targets

  Suddenly a childish idea popped into his mind, as he suddenly closed his eyes and suddenly started spinning rapidly before coming to a sudden halt, forcing himself to stand up as he stumbled , he randomly picked a choice.....
