It turned out that was the skill that she passed to the other girls but only to Meikiyo so far.

      A short time later, Jay was back in the training field. The Scarletts synced with the other ten fuses in there. The syncing process didn’t seem to be any harder than normal. Scarlett passed out but the other girls were okay.

      “I assume you all have had time to think up strategies that you want to use against me. The fusing took a bit longer than expected but I will still take on as many of you as we have time for. Who is first? Oh, and don’t forget that there is a prize for any team that can take me out,” Jay said.

      Trina stood up and said, “I won the right for my team to go first. I’ve got Kayla, Abby, Uremi, and Sora with me and for our new person we took, Bianca.”

      Jay smiled, and the rest of the girls moved to the edge of the field. Then the attacking team came at him. He reacted only enough to protect himself while still allowing them to practice their attacks. He raised rotating PSI construct shields that moved around and blocked Trina’s necrotic blasts.

      She tried to keep him busy long enough for Kayla and Uremi to get in close. Uremi continued to fight with the double short swords she always had but now they were charged by PSI crystals that gave them an electric charge. Meanwhile Kayla fought with Jay’s favorite invention the girls had come up with. It was part plasma rifle and part plasma sword. He jokingly referred to it as a lightsaber although Ava tried to tell him that wasn’t correct.

      Jay dodged again and again, faster than they were able to attack. Bursts of kinetic force blasted out from him. After avoiding them for a while he teleported behind them and sent out a wide blast of energy to knock both of them flat. Once again, another wave of attacks came at him as Abby had thrown a number of small explosives into the air and used her rebound ability to deflect them from their normal courses at him.

Jay could have just shielded himself. Instead of creating a dome to protect himself, Jay used Phase Burst to move through the explosions without being affected. The next attack that came at him though required a bit more effort. First Abby threw a series of projectiles at him, but they ended up being charged by Trina’s necrotic energy and blasted through his shield. He was forced to time skip to evade the secondary blasts.

      The problem for them though was that his greatly enhanced precognitive sense had already led him to understand that all the attacks had only been to allow them to create a special combo attack. All of them threw abilities into it. Suddenly there was a massive spider coming at him.

      The creature was like something out of a nightmare. Ten feet tall and formed of some type of ectoplasm like Amelia could make, but what made it so difficult was that it was charged with vitality by Sora, making it faster and stronger. Its multiple legs moved like a blur as it chased Jay around the room. The ectoplasmic nature of the creature made it so that he couldn’t phase past it.

      The problem with this exercise became painfully clear to Jay after just a few minutes. This was no challenge to him and while he could encourage them to attack, he wasn’t really helping them. It was a lie that this was even a match. He didn’t want to discourage them, so it turned out that it was quite a mistake to engage in this tactic.

      Jay rushed forward at a speed beyond anything that they could react to. His PSI blade cut the spider apart. Even its ectoplasmic structure wasn’t enough to stand up to the constructed weapon. It parted to allow his blade to go through without harming it, but it wasn’t able to react fast enough to thousands of slices from multiple spinning blades and it fared even worse once he burst into fire form and consumed it.

      He called out, “That was excellent teamwork. You should be proud. But I believe we need to change this up a bit. I’m gonna work on durability and you all just get to take free shots at me.”

      Jay would have been worried about Trina’s necrotic blasts since they could dissolve even his PSI shields given enough time, but since he gained her ability to absorb necrotic energy, he was willing to try anything. Many of the girls were hesitant at first but Amelia kicked it off by blasting him with a shadow bolt.

      One by one the others started unloading on him. Those without energy attacks might fling weapons or in some cases eventhe heavy metal containers that were in the area that now served as their training facility. Not that it mattered. Since the last fusion, his durability was nearly eight thousand. With the crown and with his Evolved Strength Forged Body skill over twenty-one hundred and maxxed out at the fifth boost he was practically made of metal.

      It wasn’t that he didn’t take damage. He was taking plenty of that. Some of the blasts, especially when the girls would combo their energy attacks ripped open his skin. One even laid his shoulder bare to the bone. But his regeneration level was so high with Bong Cha’s skill added in that the wounds closed as quickly as they were created.

      The blasts buffeted him around like a ping pong ball, but he still managed to maintain a PSI construct wall behind him to protect the ship and prevent stray blasts from ricocheting into anyone. It also served to help him practice maintaining as many skills as possible while being
