"Congratulations, Ms Knight and Felicia! You can get up now!" Stout grinned.
"Is it really that simple?" The two sisters felt like they had just been through a dream.
After standing up, Harleen looked at Billy with concern. "Billy, you've sweated a lot, and your complexion doesn't look good. Are you okay?"
"Billy, are you feeling unwell?" Felicia also wore a worried expression.
"I'm fine. Just need some rest."
"Don't worry, Ms Knight, Felicia, boss used a lot of his Chi energy to enhance your cultivation. He'll be fine after a while." Casey explained.
"I see," Harleen said, slightly surprised. "Thank you, Billy."
"Thank you!" Felicia chimed in.
"No big deal. Now, both of you can test your abilities."
"How... how do we do that?" The sisters asked in unison.
"Activate the Chi energy within your bodies and strike those tables over there with your palms." Billy pointed to two wooden tables about ten meters away.
"Billy, are you serious?" asked Felicia.
"Felicia, you'll see once you try." Casey said with a smile.
"Alright!" Felicia took a deep breath and, following the memory from her mind, activated her Chi energy and struck one of the tables with her palm.
Harleen observed Billy's expression, which indicated he wasn't joking, and without further hesitation, she also struck a table with her palm.
Boom! Boom!
After the gust of wind subsided, the two wooden tables shattered as if they were made of paper, with fragments scattered all over the floor.
"Ah?!" Both Harleen and Felicia exclaimed in shock, their faces displaying complete disbelief.
"Harleen, am I dreaming? Pinch me!" After a long pause, Felicia swallowed hard and asked.
Harleen didn't hesitate and pinched her sister's waist hard.
"Ouch! It hurts!" Felicia exclaimed. After a moment of bewilderment, she jumped up. "Harleen, it's real! This isn't a dream! I have martial skills now!"
Harleen wore an equally delighted expression.
"Thank you, Billy!" Felicia was so excited that she almost jumped into Billy's arms. It was only when she saw her equally excited sister that she realized it and then hugged Casey excitedly, shouting.
"Casey, I'm so happy!"
"Congratulations, Felicia!" Casey was genuinely pleased for her.
"Thank you, dear!" On the other side, Harleen took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She then looked at Billy with deep affection.
"You're very welcome, Harleen." Billy smiled and gently pinched her nose.
