Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 94 I’m Just as Warm as You All

Everyone in Krune's group had powerful Divine Senses, so they immediately felt when Roni scanned their positions. They looked over, and it didn't take long for him to coming flying at them. Shinja's face immediately became ugly, only an idiot would not understand that he came for her! Arlan looked at Shinja concerned, but then, he noticed that Krune and the others didn't pay much attention to Roni.

Krune simply looked at Shinja and asked:

"Need our help?"

Shinja just gave him a side glance. Roni might be one stage higher than her. However, she was still confident in her abilities. She had the Spiritual Energy Meridians and the Soul Cultivation technique from the Rainbow Sect, not to mention the Pure Yin Body's power. If with all of that she still couldn't match Roni, then she might as well give up joining the Divine Path Sect.

"No need, I am more than enough."

Roni finally arrived, looked at everyone, and gave a sensual smile at Shinja and said:

"I can give you a chance! Warm my bed tonight, and I will only cripple your friends, what about that?"

Yusa heard that and started laughing.

"Shinja has a Pure Yin Body. It doesn't matter how much she stays in your bed, it will never get warm."

Ao and Krune heard that and started to laugh as well. Only Arlan felt they were out of their minds. That is a member of the Divine Path Sect, you know?

Surprisingly, Shinja retorted that comment:

"Don't talk as If I'm a block of ice. As long as I don't use the power of my Pure Yin Body, I am as warm as any of you. Of course, that idiot from the Divine Path Sect over there will never find out about it."

Ao didn't lose the chance.

"How can you say that about Shinja? Obviously, the one who will turn out to have a cold body is that Roni guy. After all, dead people can't get warm."

Of course! Shinja wouldn't dare to really kill or cripple this guy, but a beating should be just fine.

Roni heard all those comments and got even more furious. Let alone Shinja. The Foundation Establishment ones aren't putting him in their eyes at all. It especially hurt a lot more because his family had also lost any hope on him. So their attitude reminded him of when he was cast aside from his family.

"You are courting death!"

He ignored Shinja and immediately attacked the person closest to him, who just so happened to be Krune. Shinja saw the speed which he pounced at Krune and just snorted. He is indeed fast, but he obviously used just the necessary speed to deal with ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. And Krune, of course, could be anything but ordinary.

"Tribulation Lightning Instant Movement!"

Roni's took out his spear and attacked Krune. He then passed through Krune's body, but he didn't feel the sensation of a weapon piercing a body. He felt like his spear hit nothing but air. It was then that he noticed Krune's body wasn't anything more than an afterimage. He spread his Divine Sense and found out that Krune was behind Shinja, which alarmed him much. That speed wasn't something a Foundation Establishment of a planet like this should be able to achieve.

Krune then looked at Roni and said:

"She is your opponent. Don't bother wasting time with me."

He then retreated to the side with his group, and they gave space for Shinja to deal with Roni.

Roni was even more enraged now. The people from this planet, who he considered to be ants, were looking at him with disdain. It should have been him the one to look at them like that. He immediately moved and attacked Shinja, using his sect movement skill. That time, he was moving without holding anything back.

Shinja finally put a serious face. Although Roni didn't seem very strong, his movement skills obviously might be better than hers, unfortunately for him. The lack of combat prowess made it easy for Shinja to deal with his speed. They exchanged quite a few blows, but no victor could be seen. Roni was starting to lose his mind already. That girl he believed he could crush with his finger turned out not to be any weaker than himself, and her cultivation was even lower!

It was then that an Ice Icicle came out of nowhere and hit him on his shoulder. Not only that, but the power of the lightning element was inside that icicle. His body immediately went numb and made him lose his attention for a second. Shinja used that chance to summon the Myriad Water Thunder Dragons and attacked him. With nowhere to run, Roni could only do his best to defend against the dragons. Every time he destroyed one, the power of lightning inside them was released and attacked him again.

Shinja's control over her Ice, Water, and Lightning element had increased by leaps and bounds. She could even use Ice and Lightning together without being afraid of the lightning destroying the ice. Myriad Water Dragons were even more so. At that moment, it was a two in one attack. If the Water Dragons failed, there was still the lightning attack behind it, and, of course, if they didn't fail, then the damage would be even more serious.

Finally, Roni wasn't able to hold the attacks anymore. When he was about to lose and suffer several injuries, an old man appeared and deflected the attack.

Be it Shinja or Krune, neither of them noticed from where this guy came from. Everyone was immediately put on high alert. Roni might be easy to deal with, but that man in front of them was obviously in another league.

His name was Harold, and his cultivation was at the Soul Forging Realm. He was given the mission by the external elder to protect Roni in case anything went wrong. But he could only appear if Roni were in real danger.

The old man looked at Shina and said:

"Let's finish it here. I could see you weren't really trying to kill or cripple him, but only give a beating, which is understandable due to the way he treated you all. Since that's the case, I will not make a move on you, just go back to the city for now."

Roni finally came back to himself just in time to hear what his protector said. He immediately got furious and rebuked the old man.

"What the hell are you doing? Kill them now! They humiliated me. Only can death pay for their sins."

The old man looked at Roni with a helpless face, covering him with his spiritual energy and forcefully dragged him back to the city. He was only responsible for protecting him. As for how to deal with this trash of their Divine Path Sect, it is something for the external elder to decide.

Shinja and the other let out a sigh of relief. If that guy really made a move, they would be doomed for sure. Fortunately, he was a reasonable person.

Krune looked at everyone and said.

"Let's go back! For now, it will be better than risk having that idiot giving us trouble anymore."

Everyone nodded and started moving back. At first, this was supposed to be a relaxing trip with no dangers involved. But it turned out to be a serious issue now that the Divine Path Sect was concerned. They could only hope that it wouldn't affect them during the Martial Gathering.

Back into the Spaceship, Harold released Roni in front of the external elder. Loni Ravser looked at Roni and sighed once more. How many sighs has he done ever since he got to take care of this idiot?

Harold took out a recording device and showed the external elder. What happened? As soon as Loni saw the battle, he got excited. Shinja's prowess far surpassed what he could expect on a planet like Makui. It was then that he heard Roni asking for Harold to kill everyone. Immediately, his expression turned livid. He looked at Roni, who pretended not to care about anything and couldn't hold himself anymore. He then gave Roni a kick and sent him flying until he hit the wall of the Spaceship. Roni coughed some blood and almost passed out, his face showed surprise, he had never thought that this external elder would dare to kick a member of the Qergil family like him.

"You trash! Instead of recognizing your inferiority and using this chance to focus on your cultivation, you asked Harold to kill them? Do you have any idea how much humiliation Harold and I would suffer if someone found out we raised our hands against Core Formation Juniors?"

Loni grabbed him by the neck and continued:

"Your family abandoned you, and that is completely understandable. With this kind of resolve of yours, the laziness for cultivation, weak mind, and meaningless pride, you are fated to be trash for the rest of your life! When will you understand that only your own power can be counted with?"

The elder threw Roni to the side and gave him an order:

"From now on, you are confined in your room and will focus only on reinforcing your foundation. Although it was damaged due to your carelessness, it still could bring you up to the Void Breaking Realm. I will check your progress in a few months. If it didn't improve even a little bit, just see if I don't give you another beating!"

Roni slowly got up and stared in hatred at his master.

"Do You dare to hurt a member of the Qergil family? You are doomed, just you wait until I contact my grandfather!"

Loni sent a wave of spiritual energy and knocked Roni to the ground again. He then opened a communicator and connected to the monitor in the room. Roni looked at who his master was video calling, and his face went pale.

On the other side, a burly old man appeared. He had white hair and a short beard. The scars in his body showed how many battles he had gone through in his life. Cultivators can get rid of scars easily, but that old man considered those scars his pride. He looked at Roni's sorry state, then at Loni Ravser, and sighed.

"What did this idiotic grandson of mine do this time?"

As soon as Roni heard those first words, he lost all hope. That old man was none other than his grandfather, Gile Qergil, the core elder of the Divine Path Sect.

Loni Ravser immediately played the video of Roni's battle against Shinja. Gile was really impressed. That Shinja's girl had amazing talents. He was told beforehand she was only at the 2nd Stage of the Core Formation Realm, and Gile didn't even know about this planet called Makui before. It goes to show how insignificant this world is. It still gave birth to such a talent, not only her, but he also saw the moment Roni attacked Krune as well. However, the later dodged the attack as if it were nothing. He was getting excited, the further the battle continued. It was then that Harold intervened, and Roni asked to kill everyone.

Gile's face contorted at every word said by Roni. He even had the urge to kill Roni himself.

"Bastard! You wanted to kill someone who defeated you in a fair and square battle, and who even had cultivation and techniques worse than yours? And she was even holding back, not really to hurt you! But instead of acknowledging their talents, which is exactly what our Divine Path Sect seeks so much, you asked to kill them? Are you even a thinking member of our Sect?"

Gile looked at Loni Ravser in the video and said:

"Well done in lecturing him, Loni, I own you one. I give you total authority to do whatever you think necessary to put this idiot grandson of mine back in line. He'd better not let me hear about anything like that again. Otherwise, the one who will kill him is none other than myself."

Gile then sent a private message to Loni.

"Also, pay attention to that group! From what I could see, they have enormous potential. A promotion might even be in line for you, depending on how good their abilities turn out."

Loni nodded.

The videocall finished, and the elder locked Roni in his room. On the sides, Lena watched everything; she was also impressed with the combat power Shinja demonstrated in the video. She made a mental note to pay attention to her.

Inside Roni's room, he was cursing everyone to no end, his family, and his master, who put him in this position. The hatred in his eyes was evident for everyone to see, but he knew he wouldn't have his way anymore. With his grandfather's final decree, no one could save him from this predicament. Eventually, he calmed down and started to focus on reinforcing his foundation. With everything said and done, there was only one way to leave that room, and it was to complete the task his master had given him.

"You just wait, I won't give up just like this."

Back in the mercenary guild, Krune and the others reported what had happened to them in the Danger Zone. Guild Heads Bary and Lowen were taken aback. Thinking that such a thing would happen as soon as they arrived, they immediately contacted the Divine Path Sect Spaceship and checked their members. They were afraid the elder would take out Krune, Ao, and Arlan's chance to participate in the martial Gathering.

But to their surprise, the one who received their call was the external elder himself, Loni Ravser.

"I've heard what happened, and I'm deeply sorry by the behavior of my disciple. I already gave him a harsh lecture, and you have my word that he won't cause any trouble anymore. As for your member's slots in the Martial Gathering, you have no need to worry, everything will continue as planned, that's all for now."

After Loni disconnected, Bary and Lowen looked at each other, and they could see their weird faces, just what happened here?
