Chapter 107 - We Are Friends, Right? (1/2)
Krune nodded and moved to the new testing machine equipment. He just channeled earth first as he did with the first machine.
-Earth Element, 14597 points-
Finally, a precise result came out. Seeing that score, everyone in the room went in an uproar!
”What's up with that number? Is that even possible?!”
”That's wrong! I refuse to believe that my earth element score is so much lower than him!”
”Can we even be considered inside the same Foundation Establishment Realm?”
”You are wrong there! He is still in the 8th stage of the Foundation Establishment.”
Elder Loni's eyes were on fire! It was as he thought, the results of the previous test machine equipment couldn't measure Krune's score.
Krune, on the other hand, was amazed by that score. He didn't expect to reach such a number. Doesn't that mean that all his other element scores are like that? Suddenly, he heard Elder Loni's voice.
”Krune, test the other elements as well, I want to see just how far you can go!”
Krune didn't want to try that at all!
”Errr... Elder Loni, one number is enough, no? More than that might attract too much attention.”
Everyone heard that and felt like spanking Krune right there and then. Is it possible to attract more attention than this? They would find out that it really is.
”Cut the crap, do it!”
Krune felt helpless, but then, an idea came out, he thought about using his other elements wrong on purpose.
'Yes! It should work.'
Just as he was about to do that, Little Light advised him against that.
”If you are thinking about deliberately doing bad, you better forget about that.”
Krune was taken aback! Why can't he? Little Light then Explained.
”That elder of the Divine Path Sect is a Void Breaking Realm cultivator. He will notice straight away by the moment that you channel your spiritual energy to control the elements. You will only succeed in incurring his wrath by doing it wrong.”
With his fate sealed, Krune sighed helplessly and then proceeded with his tests.
-Fire Element, 15125 points.-
-Wind Element, 15628 points.-
-Water Element, 14826 points.-
Every time a new element score appeared, the voices in the room increased a fold, those scores were simply out of everyone's scope. Krune had already given up. His life, which had got pretty quiet in the last two months, was probably about to become tumulted again.
He then tried his Lightning Element, but because he was feeling sad, he subconsciously used 30% of Tribulation Lightning and 70% Lightning Element as he always does.
-Lightning Element, XXXXX points.-
All the noise in the room disappeared once again. Elder Loni was already going crazy! The others might not have noticed, but how could a Void Breaking Realm Cultivator like him not? That was definitely the power of the Tribulation Lightning! Krune noticed the silence in the room and looked at the score, after seeing it, he felt like killing himself. He immediately tried to use an excuse.
”Cough, cough. It's a mistake in the machine, I will try again.
This time, he only used Lightning Element without any Tribulation Lightning.
-Lightning Element, 29834 points.-
Krune finally vomited blood.
”What the hell is that? Is that testing equipment making fun of me?!”
Little Light answered that question for him, though.
”Tribulation Lightning is much more powerful than simple Lightning Element. Because of your constant use of Tribulation Lightning, it goes without saying that your control over the lightning element improved much faster than the other elements.”
The reason that Krune didn't notice that is exactly the same. He stopped using skills of the Lightning Element without Tribulation Lightning a long time ago. So he didn't see the improvement in the Element alone.
As for Elder Loni, he couldn't be any more excited! This Krune had surpassed all his expectations! His control over the elements is on par with Middle and Late Stages Core Formation Realm cultivators. Not to mention his Tribulation Lightning! And as the elder presiding over the Makui Planet martial Gathering, great rewards are waiting for him after bringing Krune and his friends back to the sect.
Of course, although he was delighted, Elder Loni didn't let it appear on his face, he just praised Krune better than he did with the other three. It made the contestants feel like Elder Loni had seen a lot of cultivators like that before.
”Alright, the test is over. Now I will announce the ten qualified ones.”
