Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 145 Moon Wolf

Colen kept looking at everyone with as if looking for something. It was then that his eyes paused on Joty. He then smiled and approached Ao's groups.

Ao and the others were immediately put on guard, but it didn't seem like Colen wanted to fight them. Colen then stopped in front of their group and looked at Joty once more.

"So it's you. Can you tell me how did you do that?"

Let alone Ao, Alran, and Yusa, even Joty was as puzzled as he could be.

"Are you mistaking me for someone else?"

Colen's eyes narrowed after that answer, and suddenly, his irises started to get silver-colored. Those are the eyes of a Space Major Core owner, which allows them to see and understand the space better than anyone else.

Colen kept looking at Joty for a few more seconds and then sighed.

"I see, so that's how it is."

He then turned and went back to his group. But before he could move farther, he heard Joty's voice from behind.

"What do you mean? Do you know anything?"

Colen only laughed and ignored Joty. On the way back to his group, he gave his companions one order.

"Don't touch that guy, nothing good will happen if you try so."

Ao's group looked at Joty, who seemed to be lost. Joty couldn't understand what was going on or why Colen said that nothing good would happen if someone tried to stop him. Ao and the others, obviously, had no idea too.

"It probably has something to do with your recent lucky, no?"

Yusa asked.

Joty then looked at her and shook his head.

"I don't know, I've never gone through such a situation before."

Ao put on hand on Joty's shoulder and said.

"Don't mind it, if you don't know, then there is no use to keep thinking about that."

They might be all puzzled, but they also heard a good thing, Colen's group will not try to touch Joty. That was already very good. Suddenly, Colen and his group left the area, which puzzled Ao's group even more. The other contestants that were waiting for the door to activated let out a sigh of relief, though. But they still gave some side glances at Joty. For a Major Core Owner to leave willingly after saying something like that made them think twice whether to bother Joty or not.

Colen, of course, didn't mind changing doors. With his Space Major Core, it is even easier for him than Krune to find doors. Not to mention that the 97th floor had just opened, so time was definitely not a problem for him.

Ao and the others then took a position close to a door each and waited for the 98th floor to be open.

On Krune's side, everything was moving fairly well. Krune had found a door with five slots too, and the number of contestants close to it was only 7. Tasier and Lofa were finishing healing their bodies while Shinja and Krune were pondering about Gomat's Blue Flames. Krune had said that blue flames would be impossible if Shinja doesn't focus on Fire Element, but she still thinks that there would be other uses for it.

Around one hour later, Shinja, Tasier, and Lofa noticed that Krune was doing something. The Water, Lightning, and Fire Elements started to converge in his direction. Suddenly, the area around Krune began to increase in temperature. At first, it was just small blue sparks, but as time passed, those sparks turned into small blue flames. Those blue flames then started to increase in size. Ten minutes later, they couldn't see Krune anymore, just a giant Blue Fireball! But then, everything disappeared.

Shinja and the others were amazed, Krune hadn't even taken 2 hours, but he could already create blue flames to that extent! Tasier couldn't help but comment.

"Staying beside him makes one feel like an idiot sometimes, don't you think?"

Shinja and Lofa nodded their heads subconsciously. Krune's aptitude for elements control is just too heaven-defying!

Tasier then asked Krune.

"Those flames just now were made with normal Lightning Element, right?"

Krune looked at Tasier and confirmed.

"Indeed. Tribulation Lightning is harder to control, so I thought about using the normal Lightning Element first. Now that I have basic control over it, I can try to use Tribulation Lightning instead and see what happens."

Shinja then asked.

"In the end, what was the trick behind the Hydrogen and Oxygen separation? I don't think you used any kind of minerals like Salt or anything like that."

Krune agreed with what Shinja said.

"You are correct! As I said, the trick was behind the Spiritual Energy. As you know, it is the Spiritual Energy that allows the lightning element to pass through the water. A good example is your or mine Myriad Thunder Water Dragons. 100% pure water doesn't conduct Lightning, so it is the Spiritual Energy that plays the role of the mineral that conducts the energy."

Shinja nodded since she knew that little, at least. Krune then continued.

"The thing is that you need to control the Lightning Element to act like two poles, one positive and one negative. If it is done normally with a simple battery and salty water, the process would take too long and is completely impractical during battle. But the Spiritual Energy makes the whole difference here. It is it that accelerates the process hundreds if not thousands of times! It all comes to how good you are at controlling the Spiritual Energy, the Water Element, and the Lightning Element. In a single word, talent!"

Krune then added.

"There is another thing too. The normal Electricity that you use in your communicators is far from being as good as the Lightning Element used by cultivators, and that alone already accelerates the process even further! The result is that the blue flames generated by using the Elements and Spiritual Energy are not the same as the normal process that anyone can make at home with electrolysis. The azure or blue color from the flames is a lot more vivid too!"

Shinja understood the principle, but she had never paid much attention to the technical part of the elements, so she would need quite some time to get any results. As for Lofa, she is not specialized in Lightning Element, so it would be even harder for her.

Another thing is that neither Shinja or Lofa use Fire Element. So creating and controlling the blue flames with the little aptitude they have on it would be even harder. In fact, it wouldn't be practical to start with.

Tasier waited for Krune to finish talking and spoke.

"You said that thanks to the Spiritual Energy and the difference between Lightning Element and normal Electricity made thee Blue Flames acquired from it to be different. Then try using the Tribulation Lightning now! I'm even more sure that the results will be amazing!"

Tasier didn't care about the Fire or Water Elements. Still, since the process used Lightning Element, he was very curious to see what the Tribulation Lighting could bring about.

Light Spirit was also silently paying attention to Krune.

Krune agreed with Tasier and decided that it wouldn't hurt to try it now, but just as he was about to do it, the door for the 98th floor activated! Krune's group might have been discussing other issues, but neither of them had stopped paying attention to the next level door. As soon as it opened, they all rushed inside while fighting those who tried to get in their way. As expected, Krune and Shinja got inside their slots first. As for Lofa and Tasier, they had some difficulties but still managed to secure the defender position thanks to Shinja and Krune's well-timed help.

Of course, there is also the part where there were very few contestants in this door, so it was easier for both of them. The 10 minutes countdown was finished quickly, and Krune's group, together with the other lucky guy disappeared.

On Ao's group side, Ao, Shinja, and Arlan are already strong on their own. So even with the big competition, they were still able to get a defender position even though there were a few injuries. As for Joty, because of what Colen said, everyone thought that he was the most dangerous one. No one tried to stop him, but his opponents still tried to get inside the slot before Joty could do it. Everyone knows that the defender position is the best one to have.

It turned out that Joty's enemies injured each other when they tried to enter the slot, which left an aperture that Joty used to pass. In fact, Joty even trembled a little when he saw the power of the attacks of those guys. They were all killing moves that he wouldn't dare to take head-on. Still, he greeted his teeth and charged in.

This time, he was even luckier. Because of the injuries inflicted on each other, Joty's opponents weren't willing to enter his slot in their situation. They were afraid of dying to him. Of course, that was all a misconception created involuntarily by Colen and his group who had left over an hour ago.

Ao and the others had already given up thinking about it too, they can ask the Divine Path Sect after everything is over.

Suddenly, Ao, Yusa, and Arlan heard a sound that they are familiar with.

Boom!

The contestant who was inside the 5th slot available was suddenly thrown out. Ao and the others looked at his body and could see that it was completely charred! But that wasn't what they paid attention, what really caught their eyes was the sparks of Purple Lightning coming from that body. Still, that guy wasn't dead, he was just severely crippled. As long as he stays still until the illusion realm closes, his body and cultivation should be fine outside.

Ao's group knew what it was.

"Tribulation Lightning!"

Even though they are still in the middle of the battle, Ao, Yusa, and Arlan still averted some of their attention to the 5th slot. Inside, they could see a snow-white demon wolf that wasn't much bigger than a normal one. They had noticed this wolf before but hadn't paid much attention to it. Who could have thought that it could use Tribulation Lightning too?

In fact, this is a very rare demon wolf called Moon Wolf, it is just that Moon Demon Wolves look very similar to common Snow Demon Wolves. If you don't know them well enough, you won't notice the difference.

The wolf looked outside to the other contestants who were waiting for a chance to challenge someone. One could see the arcs of Purple Lightning contrasting with the snow-white fur giving it a purple hue. The opponents outside were silent, and no one wanted to charge in first. It was then that the wolf sent a Divine Sense message to everyone around.

"Anyone who gets in my path, death!"

Not only Ao's group, everyone's mouth twitched a little when they heard that.

That's because... that voice was very cute! It didn't match the words used by it at all. In the end, this is a young female Moon Wolf!
