174 Arrival (1/2)
At the same time, inside the Wang Clan space ship.
Feifei was resting when suddenly, she opened her eyes. She then looked in the direction of the Divine Path Sect with an angry face.
”Someone tried to touch my Krune, and it was probably that girl, I reckon.”
Feifei then smiled playfully.
”Hmph! Unless you are at the Void Breaking Realm, you can already forget about touching my wisp.”
Feifei could feel that although the Mark activated, it hadn't been broken. That means that whoever tried to have their way with Krune didn't have the power to break the barrier.
”Just one more day, and I will finally be able to see you again.”
Feifei then went back to rest.

That same day, Tasier and Lofa received the message that they had been selected to also participate in the program. But instead of going to one of the three powers to train, they will take part in the Sect's one. Both Lofa and Tasier were taken aback. Tasier then immediately called Krune and asked if he knew anything about it.
”Yes, it was me who asked Master for that. Lofa seemed to want to participate very much, so I decided to give it a try. Since I was already at that, I also asked a slot for you. Turns out that there were a few free slots that were not going to be used, so Master made an exception and let you two come.”
Tasier started to flap his wings in happiness. He always thought that the best decision of his life was to befriend Krune and the others, now it was even more so! But it was then that he noticed one problem.
”Lofa seemed to want it very much?”
Krune nodded on the other side of the video call.
”Yes, she even said she wanted to be with me after giving a hug. But remember, I won't be doing this kind of thing anymore since it isn't good for Master's status either. You and I were just lucky to get the free slots that no one was going to use. That was the only reason that Master made an exception and accepted my request.”
Tasier heard that and felt bitter. He could already understand what really happened, and he was even impressed that Lofa was brave enough to hug Krune while saying that. Still, that 'door' in human form didn't catch the real meaning of the things.
”Wait! Doesn't it mean that Lofa and Feifei are going to participate in it together with you?”
Krune looked at Tasier as if he was looking at an idiot.
”Isn't that obvious? It's the same training program, after all.”
Tasier felt like crying but had no tears. Does this wisp even know what he has done? But in the end, Tasier decided to let it be. As awkward as the situation might be, it doesn't change the fact that this is a very good opportunity for him and Lofa too.
”Alright, see you tomorrow in the training program. I think I will take this chance to gather enough energy to enter the Core Formation Realm too.”
”This is an excellent idea. If you see Lofa later, tell her that it might be a good chance for her to do that as well. By the way, I can give you the Soul Healing Pill for that. Of course, for the right price.”
Tasier nodded and then finished the call.
Krune then decided to spend the rest of the day in the Blacksmith Guild and returned to his home at night. Feifei was going to arrive the next day, so he decided to rest until there. Although Krune can't sleep, he can still feel tired, so he decided to do nothing more that day.

The next day, Krune was at the Divine Path Sect Spaceship Port with his Master, both of them were waiting for the participants of the program.
One must remember that the Wang Clan isn't the only one coming, there is also the Rasie Clan and the Spiritas Kingdom! The Wang clan had sent 2 extra participants other than the 3 agreed. In contrast, the Rasie Clan and Spiritas sent one extra each. In the end, the Wang Clan had 5 participants, while the Spiritas and Rasie Clan had 4.
Other than Krune and Lucio, the other participants from their own Sect were there too. Lofa included!
Krune checked the time and noticed that the big powers were all arriving around the same time, though. He asked his Master why is that.
”Nothing much, they are all just trying to appear punctual. In fact, I reckon that our participants, on the other powers territories, probably did the same.”
Krune nodded and decided that this is another one of the humans' habits. In fact, he himself was quite punctual, too. But this is still a rare trait for demon beasts.
Suddenly, Krune heard the sound that looked like an explosion. In fact, it happened three times. It was the spaceships entering the atmosphere! Not long after, the three of them were already in their own places at the port.
Krune, of course, was looking at the Wang Clan's spaceship.
There was one thing that Lucio, who was beside Krune, couldn't understand, though.
”Why exactly are you in your wisp form? Usually, you always stay in human form, no?”
Krune agreed with his Master.
”That's true. But this is how I first met Feifei back then, so I want her to recognize me faster.”
