Death... and me

Rean and Roan weren't the only ones to think of the techniques that way. Every cultivator who looked at the techniques had the same thought. It wasn't the level that a Sacred Land technique should have, which meant it was done on purpose. 

Roan then commented, 'Cassia wanted it to be difficult. If you miss the right rotation of meridians to release the technique, chances are that you will injure yourself and even your cultivation.'

Rean agreed with Roan on that. 'Indeed. Fortunately, we have my Instant Recovery skill, so we can afford to be injured. Let's just go for it.'

Rean immediately got up and channeled the Divine Energy into the meridians necessary to create the Cyclic Divine Energy Barrier.

*Bang!*

However, he lost control over it in just a few seconds, not being able to make it work at all. Not only that, he felt his body receive the backlash. 'This is quite painful...'

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

Light Element gathered as Rean healed his internal injures in an instant. 'Well, let's try again.'

Roan was better off, though. It wasn't a surprise as he had created many techniques himself. Divine Energy channeled through his hands' meridians before he struck out.

*Pah!*

He hit the wall, which made it tremble a little. Soon after, several runes appeared on the wall, showing that it was protected by a formation. 'Hmm...not quite right. I also had a lot of difficulties trying to keep the balance. Well, at least there was no backlash.' Roan was right. Although he did execute the technique, he didn't receive a signal telling him that he had mastered it.

Nevertheless, Cassia opened her eyes in surprise as he looked at Rean and Roan. One could try as many times as he wanted because of his unbelievable healing technique. The other one had a comprehension so high that he already achieved basic success on his very first try. 'These guys...no wonder even Senior Etherian was interested in them. They're freaks.'

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Shhhhhhh....*

Rean lost control over the Cyclic Divine Energy Barrier four more times until finally, he got it to work, albeit barely. It still took him more than an hour, though. After that, he tried to keep the barrier working for a few seconds before he stopped. 'Phew...now, that's a lot more like it. Roan, how's the palm technique going?'

Just as Rean asked, Roan received a signal message in his room. 'Stacked Divine Energy Palm has reached the threshold of mastery.' 

Roan understood with that message that one didn't really need to fully master the technique, just use it more or less correctly. 'I got the palm technique to completion. I'll share my memories of the technique.'

Rean then received all the steps Roan took to use the Stacked Divine Energy Palm straight away. Of course, just the memories weren't enough. Rean would have to try it a few times until he understood how to apply it. In any case, that would save him at least 90% of the work. 'Good! I'm not as good as you with techniques, but I'm not too far behind. I should finish the Cyclic Divine Energy Barrier soon.'

Rean wasn't lying. After he got it to barely work, he understood the principles. Twenty minutes later, Rean also received the same signal message. 'Cyclic Divine Energy Barrier completed.' Naturally, he shared that memory with Roan straight away.

Roan nodded and immediately put Rean's memories to use. Of course, Rean did the same thing with the palm technique. This time, it didn't take one hour for them to understand those two techniques. Both of them already knew the right steps to make them work with each other's help. Roan got the Cyclic Divine Energy Barrier working in just fifteen minutes while Rean got the Stacked Divine Energy Palm. Obviously, both of them received the same signal again, saying they completed those skills.

By now, Cassia didn't even know what to say anymore. However, she also found it strange. Out of nowhere, both twins succeeded in using the same skill the other had just mastered. 'It's as if they can share what they learn. Is it just a coincidence?'

However, that thought became more prominent as time passed.

Roan completed the third skill, Divine Energy Resonance, in about one hour again. Rean did the same thing through trial and error for Divine Finger Strike. After that, they both learned the other's skills in just ten to fifteen minutes. 

The same thing happened for the fifth and sixth skills. They used around one to two hours to comprehend the next skill. After that, it only took a few minutes for them to be able to use the skill that the other brother had taken over one hour to comprehend.

By now, Cassia and everyone watching the twins were sure. 'They're definitely sharing information with each other!'

However, what Cassia was even more impressed with was not the sharing of information. Instead, it was from their comprehension ability when they tried one of her skills for the first time, especially Roan. 'Even if they weren't sharing information, they're still far ahead of the third-best one.' 

Cassia then looked at the room where Liana from the Tenke Kingdom was comprehending her skills. She had just finished the third one, while the twins would have finished at least four even if they didn't share information. The fourth one was Venali from Huring Country, who was in the middle of comprehending the third skill. But in Venali's case, there were quite a few people on similar steps as him, so it wasn't guaranteed that he could take the fourth slot.

Well, it didn't take long before someone raised a voice. "Senior Cassia, those twins are cheating! It's obvious that they're sharing information. Otherwise, how could they learn exactly the same technique as the other after they finished comprehending them?"

Many elders and cultivators who failed in the recruitment nodded.. They also thought the same thing.
