Chapter 68 - I Don’t Like This Pattern. (2/2)

”The Mercenary Guild had just informed the other guilds that they changed their decision of having Krune teaching elements control to their contestants, he is now directly participating in the Mercenary Selection and then the Martial Gathering, from what we could find, the Mercenary Guild is putting a lot of effort to raise him, so the other powers are keeping a close look.”

”When his name appeared in the Formations Guild system, we immediately recovered the training room video and saw he building up that almost Four Stars Cloud Formation with simple and ordinary materials, he is definitely at the level of a Four Stars Formations Master, doesn't matter how much you dislike him, you can't deny his talent!”

Lola's face was dark, it's not that she doesn't like Krune, she simply doesn't like geniuses in general, she herself was considered a genius in formation already, but only her knows the truth, her talent could only be considered average, it was through a gigantic amount of effort that she got where she is today, that coupled with the fact that he destroyed her guild hall made her first impression of him be a very bad one.

Gimble knows her, they studied under the same master in the past, that's why he was the one who was calling about this issue, otherwise, the higher ups would have intervened already.

”Okay, I will help you apply for the extra founding you had been hopping for since the start of the year, with this we are even, how about that?”

Lola's face immediately improved.

”Are you serious?”

”I am, but I can only help put some good words for you, the rest will still depend on yourself, consider this as your senior brother favor.”

Lola pondered a bit, that founding would help she increase the Formation Guild size, Kaley City, as one of the cities that separate the country from one of the danger zones, received a lot of cultivators year round, her guild was already having some problems to cope with the flow of cultivators requesting for services at her guild.

”Very well, I will take your offer, but don't expect me treating him like some gem or anything like that, you know me.”

”Great! Then I will pass the orders to accept Krune's ability review, this might help us to build some good relationship with the mercenary guild too.”

Gimble finished the call and not long after, the approval for passing over a Four Stars Formations Master badge arrived, Lola stood up and went to the room where Krune was waiting, after arriving there, she simply tossed the badge over to him.

”The guild decided to make you a Four Stars Formations Master, I was against it but they have already made their mind, so you can use it from now on.”

Krune smiled bitter, it was just as he thought.

”Errr, you aren't planning of doing any propaganda over this or anything like that, right?”

Lola's mouth twitched.

”Propaganda your head! If it depended on me, you would receive a single start badge and nothing more, the Formations Guild Headquarters only want to build some relationship with your Mercenary Guild, seems like it has something to do with the fact you are taking part of the Mercenary Selection and Martial Gathering, but I couldn't care less, as long as you don't destroy my guild again, we are good with each other.”

Lola looked at Krune's face and surprisingly, he didn't look sad at all, in fact, it looked like he was about to cry out of happiness.

And she was right, she instantly became the guild branch supervisor that Krune loved the most! It was the second time in his life that Krune felt that a human female looked beautiful.

”Thank you, supervisor Lola, I will make sure to not break anything here anymore, I will conduct all my own practicing at my own place from now on.”

Lola didn't understand why he looked so happy but she didn't care either, she simply nodded and left.

Krune immediately accessed the information available for Four Stars Formations Masters and found out the two Formations he wanted the most, the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Short Distance Teleport Formation.

'The Spirit Gathering Formation is quite simple, but the Short Distance Teleport Formation is totally different, it needs a lot of materials as well, not to mention that I need to practice it, it will cost me quite a few Spirit Stones.'

But Krune didn't mind, he can now request some help in resources from the Mercenary Guild, since they have announced that they will support him fully, it would be idiotic from his part if he didn't use this opportunity properly.

Krune isn't afraid that they will try to find out where he is building those formations, they are partners now and the Mercenary Guild put a lot of importance on his Rainbow Core, the last thing they want is to scare Krune away, any secret that he might have can't compare with the resources that they will receive if Krune joins the Divine Path Sect.

Krune was just about to leave the Formations Guild when he remembered one thing, he went to the guild hall again and soon found Karen repairing a Formation.

”Hi there.”

Karen noticed who came and her mood turned solemn again.

”Errr, sorry for what happened with the door.”

Krune then took two healing pills that he made and passed over to her.

”These are Three Stars Healing Pills that I made, it should heal the injury in your nose completely, in fact, it could even save your life as long as the injury isn't too serious, and I hope you can accept it.”

Krune might have low EQ, but he has at least learned that human females put a lot of importance on their appearance, especially their faces, thus, the healing pills.

Karen was taken aback with that, before she could even answer, Krune had already put the pills on her hand and left straight away, he has a lot to do after all and couldn't wait forever.

Karen looked at those pills and was at loss of what to do, three star pills are worth a fortune for someone like her, she didn't dare using one of them to heal an injury as simple as the one in her nose, she decided to keep one with herself for an emergency and sell the another one later, she looked at the direction that Krune left and couldn't help but think that Krune's face wasn't so bad to look at anymore.

Krune immediately went to the Mercenary Guild in Kaley City and requested the materials he needed, Lu Ganan didn't say or ask anything and just provided the materials, those materials might be a lot for Krune to bank alone, but for the Mercenary Guild it wasn't much at all.

Krune then returned to his house and started to practice setting up the short distance teleportation formation, he will need some time to understand it completely, teleportation formations are dangerous, if they go wrong, the space power might turn you to pieces, there could be no mistaking in its set up.

At the same time in another side of the city, Yusa was leaving the Runestone Formations guild, in her hands she had a Two Stars Runestone Formations Master, as mentioned before, Runestone Formations are very popular for being able to be brought around, they could more or less be said to be a branch of the Formations Guild, the difference is that Runestone Formations have limited time of use while normal formations can stay in place for years.

Yusa could have got a Three Stars Badge, but their group had decided that she should hide the fact that she can use more than one element at the same time for the time being, so she was only able to make one element Two Stars Runestone Formations, Yusa looked at the badge on her hand, but her face showed that her mind was somewhere else.

'Leave or not leave, the old saying says that it's better to be a head of a chicken than the tail of a dragon, but will I really become just the tail if I leave? At the same time, will I really become the head if I stay?'

She then remembered her conversation with Ao.

'I will try my luck at the Mercenary Selection first, depending of the results I will decide what to do.'
