Since Zuko left the Fire Nation, the day by day for the twins did not change that much, their interaction was almost null, and even when Goku did want to spar with Zuko, his father did not let him. On the other hand, Goku and Azula were getting stronger as they train together. Azula can still defeat Goku, but after knowing that her twin was able to train like nothing with 220 lbs. (100 kilos) over him, she also started to use heavy armor while training. The training was always a spectacular thing to see as both of them looked like they are experienced warriors. Azula always took the training seriously, she knew that Goku is the only one that can receive her full power, and to be honest, that made her a little happier as her regular training is somehow boring. She was able to use lighting control almost at the same time she turns 13 years. Goku was amazed by that technique, he only knew how to shoot a powerful "fire bend" in a straight line, which seems that no one else can use, and it appears that it does not leave any burning marks. One of the Generals advised Lord Ozai to send Goku to train under Lo and Li, just like Azula. Fire Lord Ozai did think about it, he wanted that Goku could be deployed in the front lines as soon as possible, so he will show that the royal family is with the common rabble.

Although Goku prefers that his sister continue to train him with the tips she gives him, but he accepted when he was told that Azula also needed to train to become stronger herself. Unlike the training of Azula, Goku's training was calmer, which was the thing he was lacking. Goku's great excitement for fights made him more predictable, a reason why Azula even when she was weaker than him, could defeat him, this will also help him to control his "fire-bending" technique.

- Now, Prince Goku, tell us

- How did you archive this power?

- What did you think when you make it happen for the first time?

- Tell us

Lo and Li were questioning Goku as he is sited in a lotus position with his eyes close.

- I try to follow Azula's advice

- What advice?

- She said that fire came from inside our body, so I try to concentrate everything to expel the fire from my body.

The two old women looked at each other, and then they started to talk to Goku again.

- Now, you will need to concentrate on that energy.

- Do not think of anything.

- Just feel the energy that gave you that fire bending technique.

- You have to become one with the energy.

- You have to understand the energy within you.

- And the energy outside you.

Goku was sitting in the lotus position somewhat confused. He did not understand how to feel the energy inside and outside him. So, he just tried to think what they mean, and then he felt how a stick was hitting him in the head.

- Stop thinking. You need to concentrate on your energy.

- Do not think or do anything else.

Azula was able to hear a little about the training of his twin brother as she was also training in the same room at that moment, she did not care about it, she was concertinaing herself in her own training. But once her own training was done, she started to wonder about her twin's training. Her first thought was that it was a waste of time, and maybe they were doing that so she can overpass him, then she realized that the old women were really paying special attention to Goku's training.
