While Shinja was studying the technique, Yusa called Krune over to take a look at her improvent over the control of the elents. At the mont, she could control even three elents simultaneously, showing that Krune's thoughts in the past were right. The Spiritual Energy ridians can increase your ability with the elents trendously. But there was one thing he couldn't understand.
'Her control is still below mine when I had Four Spiritual Energy ridians. But as far as I can see, there are no flaws in her ridians. Could it be because I'm a wisp or the universe foundation?'
Krune decided that when he went back to the Katiu Forest, he would take a look at his disciple ridians. Also, he'd examine if his control were the sa as Yusa or his.
Yusa, on the other hand, didn't mind it so much. The improvent has already been far above from what she expected.
"Now, I understand how you feel when practicing or going into battle. My sense of the elents is several tis higher now! It's really a magical feeling. I don't mind you were better with it at the sa stage as . It might be because you are a wisp, as you said, or simply because you have the Universe Foundation. But in my opinion, it is a talent! Don't forget everyone has different levels of talent, especially if cultivation is considered in the mix."
Krune was a little surprised by that word. Talent wasn't sothing he thought wisps had. He always believed that all he did was thanks to the Spiritual Energy ridians. But if it is really talent, it's explained why his disciple, a wisp just like him, took so much more ti to create his first Spiritual Energy ridian, even though he had Krune to guide him.
"Talent, yea?"
Krune then let out a sigh.
"If it is a talent or not, it doesn't matter, I believed I wasn't anything special. But even if I am, I will still be a wisp; in the end, that's all that is."
Yusa heard that but refused to comnt. She isn't a wisp and has no idea how a wisp really feels while living in a universe no one cares for them.
After Shinja finished mastering the technique, everyone gathered at the Elental Gate, connecting them to the outside. But before they left, Hasik sent Krune a Divine Sense ssage through the dinsion formation.
"Now that you have a partial control over this 'Secret Realm,' you can lock the entrance for a limited amount of ti. If you take too long to co back, the gate will open again. So, be sure to hide the entrance well! Even I don't know exactly where the entrance was. So you take care of that."
Krune then said.
"No problem. The entrance was buried two kiloters underground. There is no way soone would find it, even for ! It was just a coincidence I found it. So I don't think there is any risk anyway. You don't need to worry about that."
Krune looked at Shinja and the others.
"So, this breakthrough of yours, where do you want to go for that?"
Shinja already had an idea in mind.
"It wouldn't be a good idea to do it so deep into the Raskie Danger Zone. The breakthrough process isn't sothing that can be stopped in the middle. But doing it in the borders will attract the attention of other cultivators as well. Then, we'd better go back to the city and ask if the rcenary guild has a good place I could use. I don't think anyone will try to bother us with the guild behind us."
Shinja then looked at everyone.
"But are you sure you want to co with ? It's not like I can't do it alone. You all have your own training to care about as well. I will just co back after everything is over with."
Krune shook his head.
"No, you can do. If you go back alone, and we aren't with you, it will definitely make people suspicious. We'd better go back together and, after you finish your breakthrough, we should stay there for a while. Do so other missions and only then co back. It's been a while since I last saw my disciple, so I wish to go back and take a look at him."
Yusa and Ao also agreed with that. They also have their own reasons to go back. Ao wants to check the rcenary guild salesroom to see if he can get anything useful. He is already at the 7th stage of the Foundation Establishnt. He wanted to try to gain control over two elents at the sa ti. But Krune asked him to wait until he'd get his Spiritual Energy ridians first. Learning how to do it is much easier with the ridians than it is now. Yusa is a good example of that. In the end, Ao might waste ti instead.
As for Yusa, her reason was much more simple. She just wanted to go to the market to buy so things for won. Over one year out, she had spent all her stock. In fact, Shinja and Yusa divided the sa thought.
"Well then, let's go back."
With Krune's and the others' cultivation, they took just a few days to rush back to the city. Instead of stopping at the local rcenary Guild, they went straight to the teleport formation and went back to Kaley City. When the teleport formation of the Solie Clan started to shine, the guards around it felt puzzled. They hadn't received any report that day, but when Krune and the others appeared, they were alard.
"Fast, tell the Clan Leader, Krune has reappeared."
Krune and the others didn't pay attention to the guards. They simply left the bill of the teleportation for the Solie Clan to pay and returned to the rcenary Guild. When they arrived, they could see everyone was looking at them as if they were so kind of attraction. Much for Krune's discomfort.
"Isn't that the super genius Krune and the Ice block Shinja? Didn't they disappear around a year ago?"
"That is definitely them! I heard that the guild was looking for them like crazy, but no one has found even a single hair of them."
"Look, the Furiu Realm was over a long ti ago, but the Ice block Shinja is still with Krune's team. It seems the rumors were true; she really joined Krune's group."
Krune and the others didn't know what was going on. Just when they were about to enter the guild, Lu Ganan rushed over. He had looked for Krune and Shinja everywhere. He even started to think they had really been kidnapped by the outside guilds. But seeing the sa four mbers now, it seems it wasn't the case.
"The four of you! Where the hell did you go? Do you have any idea how many troubles we went through because of your disappearance?"
"Trouble?"
Krune and the others looked puzzled at Lu Ganan. What kind of trouble?
"Supervisor Lu sure is exaggerating. The system indeed counted the mission we took back then as failed since they didn't co back. But a simple failed mission shouldn't be that big of a problem, no?"
Yusa and the others nodded, they also think the sa.
Lu Ganan looked at their puzzled face and felt helpless.
"Of course, a simply failed mission won't count for much. But it isn't the problem here!"
Krune and the others felt even more puzzled. Other than the mission, they didn't leave anything undone before they'd left. So what could be such a big problem for him?
Suddenly, Lu Ganan rembered one thing.
'Right! We have never told any of them about the Martial Gathering that will happen in less than a year, much less that we wanted to send Krune and Shinja with the group if Krune was strong enough. Obviously, they have no idea their absence caused a big ruckus.'
"Cough, cough. Anyway, co to my office. For now, there are a few things I need to tell Krune and Shinja."
Krune and the others simply nodded and were about to follow him when a shadow appeared in the distance. In just a few seconds, that shadow had already stopped in front of Krune. It was no other than Go Gao, the Alchemist Guild supervisor.
Krune looked at Go Gao surprised. And was just about to complint him when Go Gao put a hand on his shoulder.
"Let's leave this place" I will take care of you from now on."
Krune was alard. What does he an with that? Could it be that supervisor Go is playing in the other team?
Before Krune could say anything, Lu Ganan has already grabbed his other shoulder.
"Leave your head! Who the hell would let you take Krune away? Are you dreaming? He is mine!"
Just felt like crying, since when did he make so much success among n?
He imdiately took distance from the two and apologized.
"Supervisor Go and supervisor Lu, I'm happy with your feelings, but I've already had a fiancé. Besides, I don't really like n, I'm sorry."
Yusa and Ao imdiately burst in laugh. They were definitely waiting for Krune to say sothing like that, and he didn't disappoint them. Shinja was the only one to keep her cool, although with so (a lot of) difficulty.
Everyone looked at Lu Ganan and Go Gao weirdly. This ti Krune couldn't be blad. The two of them could only bla themselves.
Lu Ganan imdiately retorted.
"Feelings your head! I'm a married and a very straight man."
Go Gao did just the sa.
"The Sa for . I wanted to say that there is no need for you to risk your life in the rcenary Guild anymore. So I would take you away to prevent more dangers like this ti to happen."
"Dangers like this ti?"
Krune's group cald again and looked at each other.
"We were just training outside, what danger is supervisor Gao talking about?"
Both Lu Ganan and Go Gao were taken aback.
"Training?"
Krune and the others nodded.
"For over a year?"
They once again nodded.
"You, guys, stayed outside for over a year without giving any notice just for training? Didn't you get dragged in so danger or got kidnapped by so other guild?"
Krune's group found this conversation to be awkward.
Shinja couldn't take it anymore. She usually has a cold personality. Recently she started to open herself with Krune and the others, but as for anyone else, she couldn't care less.
"Supervisor Go and supervisor Lu, whether we stayed outside to train for a day or for a year, it has nothing to do with any of you! What the hell is all this interrogatory? Could it be that the rules of your guilds changed, and now the cultivators have beco your prisoners?"
Go Gao and Lu Ganan were taken aback once again.
"Of course not! Well, it is true you can go anywhere or stay away for as long as you want. The problem on our rcenary Guild side has to do with an event happening in less than a year from now."
"Anyway, co to my office, and I will explain the situation."
Go Gao, in the end, followed the group too. He knows what is the event that Lu Ganan is talking about and is determined to stop Krune from participating. As for the rest, they aren't alchemists, so he doesn't care. Lu Ganan looked at that but didn't say anything. The two guilds of Kaley City had been fighting over Krune for a long ti already.
Inside Lu Ganan's office, Krune and the other were waiting for him to talk.
"Well, let see where I start… Oh, right! First is the issue of the Furiu Realm. As you know, we wanted to send you three together with Shinja to gain experience and improve your cultivation. The Martial Gathering will be happening in less than a year from now."
Although Krune was puzzled, Shinja and the others had at least heard about it. Yusa looked at Lu Ganan and asked.
"You an the gathering that happens for the geniuses of the world in the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishnt?
Lu Ganan nodded, but Krune had no idea about what they were talking about.
Yusa noticed that and explained to Krune what the Martial Gathering was about. Krune heard and was taken aback.
"You want to participate? You must be crazy! I will be courting death if I enter this gathering with my cultivation."
Not only Go Gao, but Shinja and the others also thought the sa. Krune might be able to fight those several cultivation stages above him. But those are just ordinary cultivators and demon beasts. This gathering is bound to be full of cultivators that can also fight those with cultivation higher than theirs. Krune's advantage would be highly reduced there.
Lu Ganan wasn't surprised by that answer.
"As I said, it would be in the case that you catch up with the other geniuses of the world. If that weren't possible, we were hoping for you to help us with sothing else."
Krune let out a sigh of relief. At least the guild higher-ups didn't lose their heads.
It was the first ti Go Gao also heard that. If they aren't sending Krune to participate in the Martial Gathering, all is good, as long as he is safe. But then again, what is it they wish him to do?
"Well, if it isn't sothing hard and the paynt is good, I don't mind helping. What is it?"
Lu Ganan took a deep breath and said.
"We wish you teach the participants that are going to take part in the Martial Gathering selection. Also, a few of our own people will check the process so that we can reproduce it in the future without your help. Of course, it will be until the selection, only."
Everyone in the room felt they had heard wrong.
"Teach them? Who? ?"
