185 Even Wisps Can be Wrong, No? (1/2)
Lucio had his eyes glued in the technique for quite some time. He then took a deep breath and looked at Krune.
”This thing is impressive. As expected of the one that I took as my disciple.”
Krune didn't know whether to laugh or cry! What does it have to do with me being your disciple?
”I won't bother with your comments, old geezer. Anyway, what you plan to do with it now, will you give it a try?”
Lucio pondered a bit and then looked at Uncle Feng.
”If I'm not wrong, it doesn't have much of use at our realm, correct?”
Uncle Feng smiled and nodded.
”Correct. This technique is amazing for those at the Soul Forging and below. You might as well say that it is the best I have ever seen. But at Void Breaking and above, it really doesn't change much. It can't create Chaos Energy, after all.”
Lucio agreed with that point.
”I was already expecting it.”
He then looked at Krune and said.
”I won't try it since it has no use for me at the moment. But if you are ever able to create a version that can use Chaos Energy, then let me know.”
Krune was surprised by that.
”Aren't you going to ask to let the sect be able to use it?”
Lucio looked at Krune and snorted.
”I'm not that idiot. This thing would cause too much of a stir if we show it to the world. Even if I decided to only allow Legacy disciples to cultivate it, the other powers would sooner or later notice that they are improving way too fast. At that point, we might become the common enemy of everyone since the others would feel threatened.”
Uncle Feng heard that and nodded.
”This is also the reason why I told you that I won't show it to the Wang Clan. It might bring more harm than good. We are not talking about only the Western Protectorate here. This thing could cause a stir even in the Central Region, let alone the other sides.”
”Oh, right! There was one more thing. I noticed that it could also enhance the elemental understanding. It makes it easier to control them, as well. This is one more reason to not let it out so easily.”
Krune knew that his technique was very good, but not to the point of starting a war.
Lucio then asked Krune.
”I want an account of everyone who is currently practicing this technique. I need to talk with them all to make sure that they won't let it go out.”
Uncle Feng also agreed with Lucio.
”Your Master is correct. It is also for their own safety.”
Krune nodded and said.
Krune continued
”Other than them, there is also the demon beasts like the Lizard Dragons and Lakin's friends, which are three. So, at the moment we have:
4 Wisps counting with me;
9 Demon Beasts counting with Tasier;
The humans are Lofa, Ao, Yusa, Shinja, and Arlan;
And the rest are Master, Uncle Feng, and Feifei.”
Lucio nodded.
”If those are the only ones, then that's okay. With this amount of practitioners, it will be too hard for anyone to notice any difference. After all, the Divine Path Sect has tens of thousands of disciples between Foundation Establishment and Soul Forging. But you should refrain from showing it to anyone else from now on, understood?”
This was one of the rare times that Krune ever saw Lucio talking really seriously. Hence, he understood that the situation was graver than he thought.
”Alright. I didn't have any intention to pass it to anyone else for the time being anyway.”
Lucio nodded.
”I will talk with everyone, too, just to make sure.”
Lucio hen turned to Uncle Feng, but before he could say anything, Uncle Feng cut him.
”You don't need to worry. I told you already, didn't I? I won't be showing it to the Wang Clan either. At least not until Krune has reached a realm where he can defend himself.”
Lucio nodded, satisfied.
With this topic finished, Krune looked at his Master and asked.
”By the way, old geezer. Why did you come here?”
Lucio answered.
”Oh, right! The Blacksmith Hall contacted me about your progress there. When I sent you to make your flying shields, I didn't expect that you would try to create the Divine Imprints yourself. So I came to ask if you can get it ready before the missions starting in 4 months.”
Krune nodded.
”That shouldn't be a problem. They said that although I can't create the shields themselves before reaching the peak of the Silver Star Level, I can leave the shields to them and make the Imprints only. Like that, I only need to reach the Five Silver Stars.”
Lucio looked at Krune and narrowed his eyes.
”Is what they told me true? Were you just a Three Bronze Stars blacksmith around two months before the spiritual pool opened?”
Krune nodded. It's not like he needed to keep it a secret. He just didn't want to catch the others' attention.
Uncle Feng noticed Lucio's weird face and asked.
”Errr... Then, what level are you now?”
Krune then took out his Two Silver Stars badge and showed it to him.
Uncle Feng looked at that amazed.
”After you left the Spiritual Pool, you only spent three weeks in the Blacksmith Hall. Doesn't that mean that you have gone from a Three Bronze Stars to a Two Silver Stars in a little less than three months?”
Krune pondered a bit and nodded in the end.
