Is that a Wisp?

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."

Krune nodded.

"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."

Lucio couldn't help but tease.

"Indeed, there is no way to hide such a beautiful rainbow spiritual energy ball."

Krune's wisp body flickered a bit, and it was evident that those words affected him, much for Lucio's amusement. Krune, of course, knew that his Master said that on purpose.

"I'm in a good mood, so just leave me alone!"

Lucio laughed and didn't say anything else.

---

The spaceships of all the Big Powers opened, and the participants came out. Feifei, of course, was there too. She looked around and soon noticed that rainbow spiritual energy ball floating close to the Sect Master. The moment she saw him, she smiled brightly. She was just about to rush to him when she was suddenly locked in place. The one who did that was obviously Uncle Feng. She then heard a Divine Message right after.

"Don't be hasty, remember that no one knows about your relationship with him. If you appear too excited, the others will get suspicious."

Uncle Feng then sent a message to the Sect Master.

"Lucio, you probably already know the truth, right?"

Lucio just nodded, and then Uncle Feng commented.

"Then make sure that things don't go out of control. I can't guarantee what will happen with Krune if Xin finds out about Feifei's Mark."

Lucio heard that and snorted.

"I want very much to see what he can do with me here. But anyway, I'm not the one who will tell that. For things to get interesting, the one to announce it has to be Feifei, and I already alerted Krune about it too."

Uncle Feng nodded. If what Lucio said is true, then Feifei is the one to chose when to talk. He had to admit that it makes sense, too. Otherwise, some will think that Krune or the Divine Path Sect stole the Mark somehow.

Lucio, obviously, hasn't told Krune what the Mark was, just that he shouldn't tell anyone that he doesn't trust about it. Krune is still curious to know what it is about.

Because of Lucio's warning, Krune also stayed in place and waited for all the participants to come forward first. The first ones to arrive were the cultivators of the Spiritas Kingdom.

Spiritas look pretty much like any human, the only difference is their higher Soul power. In contrast, their physical power is quite ordinary. Of course, for them to become one of the Big Four, it means that such an outcome is far from being enough to bother them. In a certain way, they looked very much like Krune.

While Lucio complimented the grand elder of the Spiritas Kingdom, the Core Formation Realm participants of the Spiritas Kingdom complimented the Divine Path Sect ones. But there was one thing that they were more interested in than anything. The fact that the Sect Master's disciple is a wisp!

The leader of the geniuses of the Spiritas Kingdom came forward and greeted Krune.

"Hello, my name is Uriu Orion. You are the famous wisp that the Sect Master took as a disciple, right?"

Uriu extended his hand, but it was only then that he noticed that Krune, in his wisp form, doesn't have one. He was just about to retract it in embarrassment when suddenly, part of Krune's rainbow wisp form took the shape of a hand and complimented back.

"Hi, there! My name is Krune, and indeed, I'm the Sect Master's disciple."

Uriu let out a sigh of relief. For a second, he thought that he had done something terrible by trying to shake hands with Krune. Immediately, Uriu's impression of Krune improved several times.

After that, it was the Rasie Clan. As soon as the leader of that group came forward, he noticed some familiar energy from Krune.

"You... Could it be that you practiced the Mohie Sect techniques before?"

Krune was taken aback by that question! But he soon recovered. According to what he found, the Mohie Sect had left behind several hundred of hidden pocket dimensions for future descendants. That means that it isn't anything rare for him to have found one here.

Krune then said.

"Indeed, it was thanks to that that I arrived where I am today. But you don't need to worry, I don't have any intention of picking a fight with your Rasie Clan."

Krune then did the same thing and extended his Spiritual Energy Shaped hand to compliment that guy.

"My name is Krune, and yes, I'm the Sect Master's disciple."

The guy decided to let it go since there was nothing he could do. He knew that a Mohie Inheritance was found in the Divine Path Sect territory, and it seemed like the one who found it was the Sect Master's disciple. Still, the Rasie Clan already paid the price to take it away. Whatever happens after that is not his problem.

He then extended his hand and said.

"My name is Hulibe Acrol, a Rasie Clan disciple."

If it was in the Rasie Clan territory, he would have the authority to attack Krune. But outside, he couldn't do anything, nor did he want to. Since the Sect Master took him as a disciple, it meant that Krune definitely had his own ways of protecting himself.

The Divine Path Sect and Rasie Clan members greeted each other and separated right after.

Now, it was the Wang Clan's time.
