176 Krune vs. Wang Ting (2/2)
The grand elders of the other powers and their participants opened their eyes wild!
”Impossible!”
Krune had just done something that they didn't believe. He used his own Earth Element to intervene in the enemy's own Control. But the thing is that it shouldn't be possible! For Krune to achieve that, his understanding of the Earth Element must be much higher than Ting. But Ting is already at the 8th stage of the Core Formation Realm, and Earth Element is his specialization! How can Krune do that while he is still at the 1st stage?!
Of course, another reason for that is because Wang Ting had suppressed his cultivation to the 1st stage of the Core Formation Realm too. Otherwise, the difference in cultivation would make it really difficult for Krune to achieve this result. At most, Krune would only be able to slow down the attack a bit.
That wasn't the first time that Krune did that, though. He also made something similar to it against Ula back in the Hundred Floors Tower test.
Wang Ting also showed a face of disbelief! But the battle was still going on, so he couldn't simply stop now. Ting then gave up long-ranged element manipulation and charged forward once more. The closer he is to the attack, the better would be his Control over the elements he is using. In that case, Krune wouldn't be able to use this trick again.
But there was one problem, Ting isn't a speed-focused cultivator! It doesn't matter how much he pursued, he simply couldn't catch Krune.
There was also another thing that was making him worried. Until now... Krune hasn't attacked yet!
Krune wasn't doing that on purpose. This was the first time he was fighting in the Core Formation Realm, and for good or bad, his opponent is a real genius of the Wang Clan Territory. So this was a good opportunity for him to check his newly acquired power.
'I see, so that's how it is, it seems like Master's Elemental Regulation Technique is already taking effect. My other Elements Control power have improved a lot. Depending on the distance that the enemies are from the attack, I can even stop them from using it. This guy seems to have a very high defense, so let's try some attacks now.'
Krune then finally started his long-ranged offensive. First, he used attacks without Tribulation Lightning to see how much damage it could cause. But Ting was indeed a genius. Although some of the attacks went through the Spiritual Energy Barrier, they were still stopped by his spear or armor. Of course, Krune wasn't putting his all in those attacks either since he knows that Wang Ting isn't his match in the same cultivation realm.
Gradually, Krune's attack power started to increase. Of course, Krune also started to use Elemental Source Energy on his attacks. Wang Ting was starting to feel helpless. Krune's pool of Spiritual Energy and Elemental Source Energy seemed infinite! Worst of all, he knows that Krune is a Tribulation Lightning user, but he still hasn't used that power to attack. So far, Krune only used that for his movement technique.
'This should be enough, I don't think I can get anything else at this level anymore.'
Suddenly, Krune's attack power increased several folds, and he started to infuse Tribulation Lightning power.
Surprisingly, Wang Ting seemed like to use some technique that increased his defenses even more!
The grand elder of the Wang Clan saw that and sighed.
”He started to use a self-injuring technique. That should be the Elemental Source Release Technique, which can allow him to bring out up to ten times more Elemental Source Energy than he would be able to. But there is a backlash for that, not only will the consumption become more than double of what it should, his dantian will be affected as well. I reckon that he will need to rest for at least a month before coming back to his peak.”
Krune looked at that and was impressed.
'He can still resist my attacks! But what is that chaotic release of Elemental Source Energy? It is probably some forbidden technique of some sort. Anyway, that is also good! With his defense increased to this new level, I can finally try that out.'
Suddenly, the power of Tribulation Lightning, Water, and Fire Elements started to gather around Krune. He looked at Wang Ting in the distance and showed a playful smile before pointing the attack.
”Heaven's Tribulation Fire Explosion!”
Immediately, an attack that looked like his Heaven's Fall came down. But there was something different this time. The Purple Lightning was surrounded by Purple Fire!
”Not good!”
The Void Breaking Realm elder that was acting as a judge disappeared from his spot and reappeared right in front of Krune's attack!
Boom!
Purple Lightning and Fire spread everywhere, and even the protection formation trembled! One must remember that this formation was able to hold off even attacks of Divine Soul Realm cultivators and demon beasts, which includes those at the peak of this realm. For Krune attack to make it tremble a little, it goes to show just how powerful it was!
After a few seconds, the elder had put everything back into Control and looked at Wang Ting's fearful face behind him. If the elder hadn't intervened, Wang Ting would be dead now. In Fact, Wang Ting wasn't even sure if he could resist that attack without suppressing his cultivation at all!
The elder then looked at Krune's calm face on the other side of the arena and said.
”Krune from the Divine Path Sect wins!”
Lucio was watching it and could see the grand elders' faces on his side.
”Haha! Did he think that this Sect Master's first disciple would be weak just because he is a wisp? He is my very first disciple in 50 thousand years! It goes without saying that he had to be the best!”
The crowd was on an uproar. Krune turned out to be just too powerful! All the doubtful thoughts about him disappeared like smoke after watching this show.
That last attack was what Krune got from his battle against Gomat in the Hundred Floors Tower. Gomat used Water, Fire, and Lightning Elements to bring out Blue Flames. Krune then swapped the normal Lightning Element for Tribulation Lightning, and that was the result!
Light Spirit looked at that and couldn't help but think.
'So he really was able to bring those flames back. Now then, I wonder if you can bring the rest too.'
Back on the arena, Krune couldn't help but think.
