Is that a Wisp?

On Krune's beside, one could also see Ao, Shinja, and Yusa. Ao then sighed and commented.

"Just as I thought, you really came out after that."

Yusa complemented.

"No help in that, Krune is quite predictable, you know?"

Shinja then laughed a little.

"Isn't that good? It's because he is easy to read that we can trust him."

Krune heard all those comments and felt like crying.

"Couldn't you at least say that I looked cool?"

Lofa stuttered a bit but still said it with a tomato red face.

"I-I think you were c-cool just now."

Krune looked at Lofa and felt like crying again, but this time, it was out of happiness. At least someone respects his feelings.

Ao looked at his side and saw Arlan standing there.

"Do you wanna see who can beat more of them?"

Ao snorted and immediately accepted the challenge.

Tasier also came out.

"If even some humans dare to fight, how can a member of the Thunder Hawk Clan like me stay behind?"

Krune looked at Lofa and Tasier and then said.

"This is very different from before, I might not have the time to give you any support."

Tasier and Lofa nodded. They came out for different reasons, but it was still out of their own volution.

Mari looked at that with wild eyes. Why did they come outside? Couldn't they see how many enemies are there? She even felt her eyes a little moist.

Jano didn't attack straight away since he was waiting for more of them to come out. With his planet strength in numbers, he should be able to deal with this group. If he can eliminate that Major Core wisp now, that will be even better.

Just as the fight was about to break out, Joty also came out from his slot where he was battling. It is not that he lost, but that that fight would end with no victor. Of course, if he continued inside, the one to be accepted as the victor by the door's formation would be him who defended it.

Except for Arlan and Mina, Krune and the others were surprised. He noticed Krune's group weird faces and felt offended by that.

"What? Could it be that only you guys can play cool? I'm one of the top disciples of the Divine Swords Sect back in Makui Planet, and I've never run from a fight against opponents of the same cultivation before. Since you guys can do it, why can't I do the same?"

Arlan and Mina are part of the same sect, and they knew him. They were already expecting that this guy's pride wouldn't keep him only looking.

Slowly, more contestants from Makui Planet came out as well. Some because of pride, others because of friendship, and even because they wanted to form good ties with Krune and his group. Nevertheless, the entire Makui Planet contestants came out in the end.

Krune nodded after seeing that. At least they know that advancing alone will only bring them so far.

The two sides didn't say anything, and there wasn't anything to be said anyway. Both immediately attacked.

Krune spread his Hexagonal Shield into groups of seven, leaving the remnant around himself. His Tribulation Lightning Movement activated at the same time, and he started his long-range attacks. The same could be said for Shinja and the other cultivators who also specialized in that like Tasier and Lofa. Of course, Tasier could be said to be a hybrid. If necessary, he could go on close quarters as well.

Arlan, Ao, Joty, and the other cultivators focused in close combat immediately rushed forward. They even used a battle formation that Ao had taught them in the past few days. It wasn't perfect, but with Arlan and Ao prowess, they could cover up for the flaws. That, coupled with the fact that they aren't holding back anymore, made them start a massacre in the enemy's rank.

Yusa was the only cultivator entirely focused on support. But Krune and Shinja helped her whenever she needed it. Still, most of their support was on the common participants of the Makui Planet, those like Ao and Tasier didn't need any help.

Jano's group wasn't slow and also moved into action. They also separated into close and ranged attackers. Jano himself was a ranged one, just like Krune. But unfortunately for him, the wisp had paid special attention to his movements. So anything that he used was always blocked by Krune.

Still, Jano's group had the advantage in numbers, so they were still able to hold Krune's group. The problem is, Arlan, Ao, Krune, Shinja, Lofa, and Tasier were much stronger than his common members. So it was a simple question of how long they will be able to resist.

Jano was taken aback by this development. Especially with Krune's ability to control the situation. Thanks to Krune's Tribulation Lightning Movement, he could appear almost anywhere on the battlefield to give support or attack when the chance presented itself. Krune could even do all of that while controlling all his Hexagonal Shields to protect his members. The worst of all was the nine shields that were flying around Jano, blocking his vision and arrows. They were just like maggots, doesn't matter what he does, they are always close to him.

Outside of the Grand Illusory Formation, Core Elder Tiago Galey was looking at everything happening in the illusory realm. Not only him but the other two Core Elders too. Surprisingly, one of them just so happens to be Gile Qergil, Roni Qergil's grandfather. He was paying especial attention to Krune's group, as soon as he noticed their situation, he called the other two Core Elders over.

"Take a look at those kids from Makui Planet."

Jin Limoas was the third Core Elder, also overseeing this Entrance Exam. He and Tiago came over and took a look at them, both immediately noticed the arcs of Purple Lightning around Krune. Jin then commented.

"Oh, a wisp with Tribulation Lightning? That's the first time I see one. No wonder he got this far. With him, there are only three contestants that can use Tribulation Lightning this time."

Tiago nodded, he then looked into Krune's information.

"Oh, isn't that the Elemental Major Core that outer sect elder Loni reported?"

Jin's eyes immediately opened wild.

"What? A wisp with both Tribulation Lightning and a Major Core? What are the chances of something like this to happen?"

Gile shook his head.

"Does it matter? The important part is that he came to our Divine Path Sect. The only issue is the fact that he is a wisp. His life span is too low, and he might not make the necessary breakthroughs to get into the Divinity View Realm in time."

But then, Gile showed a smile.

"However, look at this situation."

Gile then operated the formation to show what happened a few moments ago. The image played hundreds of times faster than the normal speed, but with those elders' cultivation, it was the same as a slow turtle. They looked at the moment that Krune came out just to protect his Planet member. Also, after playing it even further back, they found out that Krune barely knew this girl called Mari before.

"Just because she didn't exchange the information for her life, he came out to save her. I bet with you that he would definitely ignore her existence if she had said anything."

Gile nodded and then said.

"In fact, because of some idiotic thing that my grandson did, I've come to know him. So I had Loni keep an eye on Krune and investigate his background. He is the type that can do anything for his group, and because of that, it seems like his group became just like him. Elder Loni had followed him without anyone noticing ever since his Planet's Martial Gathering was over."

Elder Loni is at the Void Breaking Realm, in Makui Planet, there would be no one who could feel his presence. That's right, Elder Loni had been there when the Rainbow Sect was attacked. He saw the entire process from saving the wisps to the day they departed from Makui Planet. How could he not? The talent that Krune showed was too big, so Loni was afraid that something might happen to him, and consequently, his promotion.

"It seems like Krune and his close friends were quite fortunate, their group found a remnant of the Mohie Sect and a few soul cultivation techniques. But his power of the Tribulation Lightning and Major Core were things that he got even before that."

Gile then explained everything that Loni reported to him. Tiago and Jin were quite impressed by everything they heard.

"But how come a wisp have such a high speed of cultivation? Could it be that he found Ian's cultivation method?"

Jin, Gile, and Tiago pondered about that question. Ian was a wisp too, and he just so happens to have been a member of the Divine Path Sect in the past. Ian was a rarity between the wisps since he achieved the Divine Soul Realm. But his life span had long since finished, and he was dead as dead could be. As for his cultivation technique, he had left it within the sect. Unfortunately, other wisps weren't able to cultivate it due to its difficulty.

"I don't think that is the case, it is probably something he invented himself. Ian was only known in our sect to start with. Why would he leave his cultivation technique in such a desolate planet like Makui? If that was the case, he might as well have divulged it everywhere. Not to mention that although it brought Ian to the Divine Soul Realm, it wasn't any heaven-defying technique or anything like that."

Tiago heard that and nodded.

"That's true. In that case, it is even better. It shows how great Krune's talent is. Different from Ian, Krune has a Major Core and can even control Tribulation Lightning, so he might have a chance at Divine View Realm."

Tiago then asked.

"What about of that remnant of the Mohie Sect?"

Gile answered that.

"I already reported it to the sect, and they also contacted the Rasie Clan. It seems like they are negotiating the price to let go of the remnant inheritance."

Tiago nodded and didn't say anything else. Although it was very important for Krune's group, it was just a remnant in the eyes of the Divine path Sect, not worth much.

Jin then said.

"Anyway, this is all talk for the future. For now, what I'm interested the most is Krune's sense of loyalty. That's precisely the type of members that our sect needs."

Tiago nodded.

"Not only Krune, but even his companions are also extraordinarily talented and very close to each other. As expected of the Elemental Irises, its power used for teaching can really improve the allies' abilities to an extraordinary extent."

Jin also commented.

"We always said that the Divine Path Sect members should rely on their own power and strength. But quite a few forget that the sect is part of your power and that its members can become your strength."

They had been watching over the entire exam so far. Still, very few planet teams did really put their all into protecting each other. The majority only cared about passing the exam at any cost. Although they could indeed join the sect like that, they will not receive much focus from it. This is a hidden rule that only the elders know.

Of course, the top-ranked planets had their own connections, so some of them knew about it. Because of that, those planets' teams would always stick together to look good at the eyes of the elders. Too bad, though. On those elders' eyes, such plays had no meaning. It was way too easy for them to figure out if they are just pretending or not.

That was an advantage for middle and low-ranked planets. The chances of them knowing about this secret were meager, so they had the opportunity to show their good side even without noticing.

One must remember that back at the Garmon Planet, Elder Loni had commented that the majority of the strong cultivators and demon beasts of the sect weren't top geniuses at first. But if one looks back at their records, they will find out that those protectors and ancestors were all extremely loyal to the sect and the team members during their exams. Their power of today is due to the focus that the sect puts on those who are loyal and think about the big picture.

Geniuses are good, and they are indeed faster at cultivating and comprehension. But with the Divine Path Sect resources, such a thing can be overcome with effort and guidance.

Gile was looking at Krune's friends' battle and couldn't help but comment.

"Krune's elemental irises are really good for teaching. But aren't his close friends a little too strong? Can guidance really help them achieve such an elemental control at their stage?"

Tiago and Jin were taken aback, they paid more attention to Yusa and the others and had to admit, they are a little too overpowered. Of course, the main reason is that they came from Makui Planet, so Ao and the others shouldn't be that amazing. Tiago then said.

"It must be because of the Soul Techniques they got from the Mohie remnant. The stronger the soul, the stronger the Divine Sense is. Consequently, the better their Elemental Control. Not to mention that they probably had tempered their souls as well."

Gile and Jin nodded, that is probably the case.
