Chapter 145 - Moon Wolf (2/2)
Shinja then asked.
”In the end, what was the trick behind the Hydrogen and Oxygen separation? I don't think you used any kind of minerals like Salt or anything like that.”
Krune agreed with what Shinja said.
”You are correct! As I said, the trick was behind the Spiritual Energy. As you know, it is the Spiritual Energy that allows the lightning element to pass through the water. A good example is your or mine Myriad Thunder Water Dragons. 100% pure water doesn't conduct Lightning, so it is the Spiritual Energy that plays the role of the mineral that conducts the energy.”
Shinja nodded since she knew that little, at least. Krune then continued.
”The thing is that you need to control the Lightning Element to act like two poles, one positive and one negative. If it is done normally with a simple battery and salty water, the process would take too long and is completely impractical during battle. But the Spiritual Energy makes the whole difference here. It is it that accelerates the process hundreds if not thousands of times! It all comes to how good you are at controlling the Spiritual Energy, the Water Element, and the Lightning Element. In a single word, talent!”
Krune then added.
”There is another thing too. The normal Electricity that you use in your communicators is far from being as good as the Lightning Element used by cultivators, and that alone already accelerates the process even further! The result is that the blue flames generated by using the Elements and Spiritual Energy are not the same as the normal process that anyone can make at home with electrolysis. The azure or blue color from the flames is a lot more vivid too!”
Shinja understood the principle, but she had never paid much attention to the technical part of the elements, so she would need quite some time to get any results. As for Lofa, she is not specialized in Lightning Element, so it would be even harder for her.
Another thing is that neither Shinja or Lofa use Fire Element. So creating and controlling the blue flames with the little aptitude they have on it would be even harder. In fact, it wouldn't be practical to start with.
Tasier waited for Krune to finish talking and spoke.
”You said that thanks to the Spiritual Energy and the difference between Lightning Element and normal Electricity made thee Blue Flames acquired from it to be different. Then try using the Tribulation Lightning now! I'm even more sure that the results will be amazing!”
Tasier didn't care about the Fire or Water Elements. Still, since the process used Lightning Element, he was very curious to see what the Tribulation Lighting could bring about.
Light Spirit was also silently paying attention to Krune.
Krune agreed with Tasier and decided that it wouldn't hurt to try it now, but just as he was about to do it, the door for the 98th floor activated! Krune's group might have been discussing other issues, but neither of them had stopped paying attention to the next level door. As soon as it opened, they all rushed inside while fighting those who tried to get in their way. As expected, Krune and Shinja got inside their slots first. As for Lofa and Tasier, they had some difficulties but still managed to secure the defender position thanks to Shinja and Krune's well-timed help.
Of course, there is also the part where there were very few contestants in this door, so it was easier for both of them. The 10 minutes countdown was finished quickly, and Krune's group, together with the other lucky guy disappeared.
---
On Ao's group side, Ao, Shinja, and Arlan are already strong on their own. So even with the big competition, they were still able to get a defender position even though there were a few injuries. As for Joty, because of what Colen said, everyone thought that he was the most dangerous one. No one tried to stop him, but his opponents still tried to get inside the slot before Joty could do it. Everyone knows that the defender position is the best one to have.
It turned out that Joty's enemies injured each other when they tried to enter the slot, which left an aperture that Joty used to pass. In fact, Joty even trembled a little when he saw the power of the attacks of those guys. They were all killing moves that he wouldn't dare to take head-on. Still, he greeted his teeth and charged in.
This time, he was even luckier. Because of the injuries inflicted on each other, Joty's opponents weren't willing to enter his slot in their situation. They were afraid of dying to him. Of course, that was all a misconception created involuntarily by Colen and his group who had left over an hour ago.
Ao and the others had already given up thinking about it too, they can ask the Divine Path Sect after everything is over.
Suddenly, Ao, Yusa, and Arlan heard a sound that they are familiar with.
Boom!
The contestant who was inside the 5th slot available was suddenly thrown out. Ao and the others looked at his body and could see that it was completely charred! But that wasn't what they paid attention, what really caught their eyes was the sparks of Purple Lightning coming from that body. Still, that guy wasn't dead, he was just severely crippled. As long as he stays still until the illusion realm closes, his body and cultivation should be fine outside.
Ao's group knew what it was.
”Tribulation Lightning!”
Even though they are still in the middle of the battle, Ao, Yusa, and Arlan still averted some of their attention to the 5th slot. Inside, they could see a snow-white demon wolf that wasn't much bigger than a normal one. They had noticed this wolf before but hadn't paid much attention to it. Who could have thought that it could use Tribulation Lightning too?
In fact, this is a very rare demon wolf called Moon Wolf, it is just that Moon Demon Wolves look very similar to common Snow Demon Wolves. If you don't know them well enough, you won't notice the difference.
The wolf looked outside to the other contestants who were waiting for a chance to challenge someone. One could see the arcs of Purple Lightning contrasting with the snow-white fur giving it a purple hue. The opponents outside were silent, and no one wanted to charge in first. It was then that the wolf sent a Divine Sense message to everyone around.
”Anyone who gets in my path, death!”
Not only Ao's group, everyone's mouth twitched a little when they heard that.
That's because... that voice was very cute! It didn't match the words used by it at all. In the end, this is a young female Moon Wolf!
