243 There is a Way! (1/2)

The person on the other side of the line was Amark Guli, the Solar System Alchemist Organization Head.

”Wait, you said Krune? Krune, Krune... I did hear this name once.”

Palo nodded and reminded Amark.

”Yes, he is the one that your son tried to steal away.”

Amark's expression got a little gloomy for a second, but he soon concealed it.

”Oh, that one. Anyway, why are you even calling me then? Just wait for this competition to finish and immediately recruit him. With his talent, he is more than worth grooming up.”

Palo scratched the back on his head as if he was in a tight spot and then said.

”There is a small problem here. Krune is a demon beast.”

Amark got puzzled after hearing it.

”What is the problem? Sure, we have a lesser number of demon beasts than humans, but that has never been a problem.”

Palo sighed and then continued.

”He is a wisp.”

Amark's expression finally changed when he heard that.

”Come that again.”

”A wisp, Krune is a wisp! He is as much a wisp as any other wisp you have seen before. A wisp!”

Palo knew that it was hard to believe, so he made sure to make it clear.

Amark then sat down on his chair and crossed his arms. Palo could see that Amark had fallen deep in thought. Sometime later, Amark finally replied.

”That's complicated. Even with such a heaven-defying talent to the point of understanding a law at the Core Formation Realm, his life span is just...”

Palo nodded.

”That's why I called you directly. Otherwise, I would have already prepared to recruit Krune straight away. In fact, I had told him yesterday that we wouldn't be able to take him in exactly because of this issue. Of course, yesterday, he hadn't understood a Law yet.”

Amark didn't think Palo was wrong. They are not rich to the point where they can simply invest in every single alchemist in their Solar System. Amark kept thinking for some time and then said.

”Let's do like this, just recruit him in name. He will have access to the facilities, information, better jobs, and other things from the headquarters. But he won't receive any cultivation of alchemy training resources. If he is okay with it, then we welcome him in. If his level keeps increasing at this pace, we can use him in the next Galaxy Competition.”

Palo nodded. He, too, was thinking about the same thing. In the past, Rico Guli had participated in that. Not to mention that he did quite well by finishing in the top 1000. But ever since, their Solar System didn't have another Alchemist capable of repeating his feat. Even if Krune's life span is small, considering that has is still 12 years old, he still has more than enough time to participate. In fact, he might be able to attend twice! Or so Palo and Amark hoped.

While Amark and Palo were discussing, Krune and Light Spirit were doing the same thing.

”Is there no way to clear the view of the Laws so that I can see others?”

Light Spirit confirmed.

”There is, you need time. Because this is a new Law, your mind is overwhelmed by it. Once it gets used to the Law of Burning, it will start to perceive the other Fire Laws more clearly. Of course, it will never be like the first time when everything was clear. The more Fire Laws you understand, the more space they will take in your World of Laws.”

Krune let out a sigh of relief. The way that the Fire Laws are at the moment, Krune wasn't the least bit confident of being able to grasp them anytime soon.

Light Spirit then added.

”The best way to make your mind used to it is obviously by fully understand the Law you are practicing at the moment. Otherwise, it will take even longer for the 'view' to clear. Of course, you can also decide to put the Fire Laws aside and start to practice another element instead.”

Krune nodded.

”I have never focused on a single element before, so I will try to see if I can get other Elemental Laws at work too.”

Light Spirit agreed with that.
