I had to get them something to wear. They even further along than the ones already inside. I leveled up for the cultivation and defeat of the heroes. I decided to have the new clones take watch while I swam over to the town. It was easy to find a shop that sold swim wear. Since it was next to Lake Heart, the jammers and other swimwear were all heart themed. I took a white set with pink hearts and the matching black set with red hearts. I decided to personally continue going nude since I did not have much of the Qi Condensation done with this clone. I took the jammers to the new shark men and had them wear it. I told them to go in the lair and continue cultivating. It took an extremely long time as I was not blessed and I was not even human. It technically should have been impossible, but I was able to used blessed humans as batteries. It all then clicked for me. I could have the original three finish up while the two were unconscious. By the time the twins woke up, the ones in the jammers were at Mid Foundation Establishment and the one with the speedo was Late Foundation Establishment.
Running back into the lair, the twins could not do much about it. "Ash?" the girl said as she reached for her brother. "Yeah, Alex?" he responded. "Did we lose?" she sadly asked him. He looked at me with a complex look on his face that told me the answer was not going to be one I liked. He got up and felt his stomach. "So you still have a chunk of the ooze inside us? How long are you going to play around!?" he snarled. I shrugged and said "This was the task I told you about. If you can't defeat that small bit of ooze, how are you going to 'kill me'? I'm telling you now that this is not all the ooze that I have." That shut him up. He then smiled and said "I remember what you said at the beginning. You told us the hint was 'What I'm going to do next will make me stronger, but it can also bite me in the ass if you can turn the tables.''" I looked at him. "I get why the ooze got bigger and bigger. I get why you still have all this ooze still in us! You need hosts to drain energy and Qi from to gain mass." he accused as he pointed at me. "So what if that's true? What will you do about it." I asked. He just smirked.
Ash seemed to be on a roll. "If what makes you stronger can also be a weakness, that means if I overload you with my Qi, you'll be purged." He calmed down and closed his eyes. It was just like with Benson. He stood straight and brought his hands together and grunted. I could feel as though I was being squeezed. I was being dissolved by his focused Qi. Since he was a hero in training, it was faster and more targeted than when it was done by a dumb kid like Benson. I tried to cut into the affects by trying to absorb it. It had limited benefits as I was just a hair less quick at replicating than he was at destroying me. He could break down half of me only for me to double back to where I originally was. I was down to 2.5 liters in his stomach. After an hour, we were still in deadlock and the clone was at Mid Foundation Establishment Stage now. Ash could not hold it any more and his stance was just broken. It took three minutes to double to a cool 5 liters. Not only that, all of the destroyed ooze was indeed purged from his system. However, he was too weak to do it. He pissed and shat out the old ooze.
He looked embarrassed. His sister ran to him. "You gave me a run for my money, I'll give you that. Like I said, you can't win." I told them. He then smiled wide. "That was all I needed to hear. We can still win." he said. That did not make sense. "You don't believe me!? That's your downfall." Alex helped her brother stand up. "I'm not too proud to admit it- Alex is way better than me at Qi control. If I can give you a run for your money, she's going to blow you out the water." Alex nodded and took up the same pose. I tried my hardest to fight, bit it was way too late. Even as I drained her, she was destroying me faster. I just could not keep up with it. Alex was simply smirking as she did it. "Ready to give up, yet?" she gloated. I moved over to the sharkman again. The ooze in her bladder and stomach was all gone and she purged it. I looked at Alex and said "There is still some in Ash. Don't get too cocky!" She placed a hand on her stomach and said "I'll flush it out of him too." I knew that she could do it. I made the ooze rush out of Ash all while draining. Ash doubled over in pain. That stopped her.
