Chapter 131 - Results (2/2)
”That would be no fun at all.”
Arlan also laughed. He knows what the real reason is anyway. An Elemental Core shouldn't be something that you go around telling others about. But now that they are in the Divine Path Sect, Krune will have to go all out. His Elemental Core would appear sooner or later.
Krune's group was curious about another thing, though.
”Did you know she had a Major Core from the start?”
Krune nodded.
”I could feel it resonating with my own. There is also another two Major Cores participating in the Exam, it's just that they aren't nearby at the moment.”
Everyone was taken aback, counting with Krune, there are four Major Cores! The Exam is getting harder by the minute. Not to mention those like Boen, who don't have Major Cores but still have outstanding elemental control. One can only imagine how good their techniques and combat prowess is.
Krune then turned to Ao and the others and said through Divine Sense.
”You know the reason for my Lightning Element control to be this high, but my other elements aren't the same. Shinja's water element isn't worse than mine either, and Arlan will probably come to have a fire element just as good. So don't bother with the results of the others, I refuse to believe that you can't fight them head-on!”
Ao and the others nodded. If the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam was easy, their Makui Planet wouldn't have failed for thousands of years. They should have expected that only monsters would appear around. Ao then took a step forward and went to one of the testing equipment. Because he was also part of Krune's group, quite a few people paid attention to him.
It has been half a year since the end of the Martial Gathering. During this time, Ao has broken through into the 9th stage of the Foundation Establishment and is close to the peak of it. So he got a good boost on his Divine Sense and, consequently, his Elemental Control too.
He got close to one of that testing equipment and concentrated on his Wind Element. Soon, his result appeared on the monitor.
”Wind Element, 10264 points.”
That was more or less what Ao expected. But he also knows that it is most likely the limit of what he can get in the Foundation Establishment. In the end, he only has six Spiritual Energy Meridians, and he doesn't have any special traits Like Arlan or Shinja. Of course, he wasn't sad about that result. When would he ever be able to get to this point if not for Krune?
At that moment, the only ones that looked composed were Ao's friends and the other qualified members from Makui Planet. The rest of the Cultivators and Demon Beasts went in another wave of discussion. Since when that little planet started to give birth to so many geniuses?
Arlan decided to try right after, and of course, he chose Fire Element. In the last six months, he was able to open Six Meridians just like Ao. The reason for that is quite simple, he doesn't lack spirit stones! The main reason as to why Krune and the others took so long to get that many meridians were basically the lack of spirit stones. But Arlan, as the only contestant of the Makui Mercenary Guild, obviously didn't have that problem.
”Fire Element, 12645 points.”
Arlan looked at that and sighed. He is still quite far away from Krune's level in Fire Element. As for everyone else, their mouths couldn't be more open at the moment. Just what is happening to this Makui Planet?
Tasier and Lofa came right after.
”Lighting Element, 9150 points.”
”Water Element, 8061 points.”
They don't have the Spiritual Energy Meridians, nor do they even know that they exist. So it was already very impressive that in the least six months of guidance gave by Shinja and Krune, they achieved this level. Tasier having a bigger score than Lofa Harcken was pretty obvious. He is a Thunder Hawk, and Lightning Element is his race innate ability after all.
Boen also looked at that like he had seen a ghost. Every single one had a control better or at the same level as him. But he wasn't feeling insecure. He still believes that his clan techniques are much better and that his combat prowess is definitely higher than them.
Shinja and Yusa decided to take the test too, but their scores were pretty standard. There are two reasons for that. First, the score measure for Core Formation participants is different from Foundation Establishment, so they can't compare it with Krune and the others.
And second, the scores that are shown at the moment are taking everyone under the age of 40 in the Core Formation Stage. There are definitely some geniuses from top-ranked planets in the middle or even late stages of the Core Formation Realm. It would be of no use for Yusa and Shinja to compare their elemental control with them. The difference in cultivation was just too big.
Of course, some felt threatened by the two girls. And they were none other than those High Cultivation Stage Core Formation participants. They could sense Yusa and Shinja's cultivator at the 1st and 2nd stages. But they still had such a high score comparable with even some of the 5th and 6th stages of the same realm.
As for the other outer sect elders, they looked at Loni with envy. Why weren't they the ones who were assigned to Makui Planet this time? Although this kind of situation wasn't unheard of, it is still quite rare to happen. They are sure that Loni is bound to get a very handsome reward from the sect, and even a promotion to become an inner sect elder isn't out of the question.
Krune looked at all the results and nodded, he was pretty much satisfied with their progress during this time. As for the other two Major Core participants, it seems like he will need to wait until the Entrance Exam to meet them.
