After the final defeat of the Sunstone Chimera through the amazing powers of my parents, we felt a rush of EXP bathing our souls.

And everyone leveled up a lot at the end too!
"Hahaha, well, it is quite literally what it is." My father said, suddenly conjuring a white and gold flame from his hands and placing it above his abdomen. "You know how there is a Magic Circle, a Physique, and all of that, right? Auras are born through the conversion of Mana and Physique and can develop and evolve in all sorts of ways, ultimate transforming into a Domain. But what I'm trying to say is that our family developed a way to compensate for our weakness by refining a small flame and fusing it into your Physiques and connecting it to the rest, that's the Aura Flame, which becomes the core of the growth of our Aura, Magic Circle, and Physique. Pretty much the same that the Spiritual Heart, but it feeds on battle, constant exercise, and fire-attribute materials to grow stronger."
"There are so many cultivation methods out there..." I was felt surprised, this world never ceases to amaze me. "Dad, have you broken through Tier 10 into Tier 11 then?"
"Not yet, I just developed the Heavenly Flame Aura." He said. "I'll have to continuously pour it into every inch of my own self while I fight strong monsters to absorb their Energy. Through the standard methods, it'll take a while to get there."
"Well, through standard methods, that is." My mother smiled. "We have quite a lot of money and resources, your father will be chugging elixirs I'll make for the next months so he can break through quickly. Humans aren't as long lived as us elves, so he can't just take his sweet time."
"Hahaha, come on, let's take it easy." My dad laughed.
"W-What about the rest? Mom, dad, have you done something too?" Aquarina asked excitedly.
"We're getting there!" Her mother said. "I need to refine my physique by absorbing Divine Metals, it'll take some time, but it should be possible. Orichalcum is what I'm absorbing, it is slow as hell."
"Those with the Darkage Bloodline have secret cultivation techniques they can use to break through. Throughout all the history of our family, only three people have broken through Tier 10, and they were all famous assassins in history." Shade said. "I'm using their techniques to channel Abyssal Embodiment into my Physique and Magic Circle, trying to refine it into something called "Divine Abyss Eye", which will manifest in my forehead... But it is not easy. You will get to do that, one day."
"Woow..." Aquarina was shocked, her parents were just as amazing.
"What about you, mom?" I asked my mother.
"Oh, me?" She giggled. "I've been Tier 11 for a few years now."
"EH?!"
Everyone that wasn't aware reacted in surprise.
"Why is it so surprising?" She sighed. "I can harness and summon the Divine Light of the Gods, of course I've already cultivated it into my body. My Spiritual Heart has already evolved into a Divine Spiritual Heart."
My mother was perhaps the strongest of the heroes right now, yet she was so relaxed and often didn't show off as much as my dad, so we couldn't quite tell!
