Chapter 137 - Elder Loni Knew Everything. (1/2)

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.
