Is that a Wisp?
chapter-130

Boen Saviu is a member of the Hasvau Planet, another planet at the top of the food chain. Ever since he arrived, he had been trying to court Nala. She is beautiful, has a Major Core, and is free. But other than exchanging polite words, she hasn't shown any interest to him so far. In fact, not only him, but no one else either.

But out of nowhere, someone from a planet he had never heard before immediately caught his girl's interest. If it was one of those from planets like his own, then he could accept it. But it was a punny planet which his clan could probably wipe out alone. He simply couldn't accept that.

Of course, Boen didn't let it show on his face. He came forward and complimented Krune too. He was planning to humiliate Krune in the elemental test so that he would know his place.

"Hello, it seems like you two were expecting each other."

Krune and Nala looked at Boen and noticed that they were really catching a lot of attention. Krune then came forward and grabbed his hand too.

"Hello, Krune from Makui Planet. Nice to meet you too."

Krune wasn't pretending, he isn't the type that would notice someone bad intentions to start with. So he sincerely complimented Boen. As long as you are polite to him, he will be polite back. Boen's mouth twitched, though. He really didn't want to know this ant from whatever planet. But he had to show his good side to Nala, after all.

Nala, different from Krune, isn't as clueless. So she noticed that something is fishy, it was easy to see due to the smile on the face of Boen's subordinates. But she didn't say anything. She isn't Krune's friend or anything like that to start with. Her only interest was the fact that he also has a Major Core.

Boen continued to smile and then said.

"Did you come here to make the elemental test too? What about we do it together? It will be a lot funnier."

Krune was taken aback with that idea and immediately refused.

"It is not necessary. My elemental control is nothing worth mention."

Krune's habit of trying not to catch attention started again. Too bad that everyone's focus was on him from the moment that he talked to Nala. But he still thinks that it is better not to show too much of his elemental powers. This isn't totally wrong since it could also be said to be his trump card during the exam.

Boen, of course, wasn't going to give up so easily.

"Come on, brother. What if we do it like this? We will bet some spirit stones just to make things interesting. You won't reject it in that case, right?"

Krune's eyes immediately lit up. If there is one thing that he is always lacking, that is spirit stones.

"How much spirit stones are we betting?"

Boen's smile got even bigger now.

"Nothing much. What about ten thousand Rank Six High-Quality spirit stones? There is no need for us to make things big, this little amount should do."

Krune was taken aback. He wouldn't be able to fork out even a thousand of spirit stones of that rank, let alone ten thousand. The fact is that Boen wasn't lying, considering the planet and the clan he came from, that was indeed a small amount. In the end, Krune could only apologize.

"I'm sorry, the planet I came from isn't that big or prosperous. I don't have that number of spirit stones."

Although Krune apologized, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. In his eyes, there was nothing wrong with admitting that you can't do something. If you can't, then you can't, that's all. It was then that everyone heard a girl's voice.

"Oh, let me lend him those spirit stones, then."

Everyone looked at her and noticed that it was none other than Nala's blood sister, Nadia. She came forward and took out the spirit stones from her spatial ring.

"Boen had given such a nice and funny idea, it would be a pity if we couldn't see it happening."

Krune was puzzled. Why would she lend him spirit stones? But he didn't refuse since he really needs them, after all. Boen also smiled at this development. In his eyes, he thinks that Nadia wants to help him deal with Krune once for all. The only one who really understood Nadia's thoughts was Nala. But she didn't say anything either. She was also curious to know how well Krune would perform.

Krune then received the spirit stones.

"Thank you. I will give the spirit stones back to you after the bet is over."

Everyone's jaws dropped. Isn't that the same as saying that Boen isn't his match? Shinja, Yusa, and Ao were certain about one thing. Krune definitely didn't notice the hidden meaning in his own words. They are absolutely sure that Krune really meant that he just wanted to pay the spirit stones back.

Boen smiled disappeared at that moment.

"You seem very confident, no?"

Krune looked at him puzzled, but nodded nonetheless. Now that spirit stones are involved, he really is confident. Boen browns frowned, though.

"Hmph! Then let's see just how good you are, come to the testing machines."

Krune followed Boen while everyone else was looking. After arriving at the equipment, Boen put a condition.

"We have to use our best element, I don't want you to hold back."

Krune didn't mind, though. For the sake of the spirit stones, he was going all out to start with. The only thing that he wouldn't use is his Tribulation Lightning. He didn't want the machine to show another XXXXX result. But he still chose lightning Element nonetheless.

Boen went first to test his elemental control. He also wanted to show how good he is to Nala, so this was an excellent opportunity. Boen is a three elements specialized Foundation Establishment cultivator. He uses Wind, Metal, and Water. It is quite a weird combination, but for someone of a top-notch planet, there is definitely a reason behind that. And his best one between the three is Metal.

Boen then took out a spear and concentrated in his Metal Element Control. The spear seemed like it came to life, and one could hear a humming sound from it. It was evident that his Metal Element Control had reached a frighteningly high level. Soon, the equipment showed his score.

"Metal Element, 8942 points."

Everyone went into an uproar. That was an extremely high score for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even Ao and Arlan were surprised. They know that Boen doesn't have the Spiritual Energy Meridians, but he still got a score that is almost the same as theirs. Krune's group immediately reviewed their thoughts of the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam, the top contestants from strong planets can't be underestimated at all!

Krune had always told them, the Myriad Energies Technique isn't omnipotent. Now they had seen the proof right in front of them, and that is just one cultivator from those top planets. Elements control has a lot to do with the level of the Divine Sense, which is connected with a good soul cultivation technique. It seems like the Saviu Clan isn't much behind in this in this field.

Boen then looked at krune with a proud face and said.

"I did my best, you better not disappoint me."

Krune noticed that Boen seemed somewhat angry. Although he didn't know the reason, he agreed to his request. His opponent had given his all in the elemental test just now. If he holds back, it would be disrespectful with him. At least, Krune definitely wouldn't want someone holding back if he was the challenger, doesn't matter the result.

Krune then concentrated his Lightning Element around his body and also did his best over its control. He could feel that his control over the normal Lightning Element had improved once more in the past five to six months. It was all thanks to the Tribulation Lightning that helps him to understand it more and more. Not to mention his elemental core, which makes it even easier. Soon, the Elemental Test Equipment showed Krune's result.

"Lightning Element, 32589 points."

Silence!

The entire Hall that had been so noisy all this time became so silent that one could hear a needle falling on the ground. It didn't last long, though. Soon, the entire Hall went into another uproar! This time, it was several times higher than when Boen's result appeared.

"This is crazy! It has entered the top 10 of all times!"

"How could a shit planet like that give birth to such a monster?"

"The old saying is really true, you never know from where a real genius could appear."

Nala and Nadia also looked at that with their mouths open. That score is something that far exceeds their imagination. That was way too high, even for a Major Core!

Krune then stopped using the testing equipment and went to talk with Boen.

"It seems like I won. But your Metal element control is very good too. My friends over there all have around the same scores with their element as you. So it really surprised me."

Krune wasn't lying, he too knows that Boen doesn't haven the Spiritual Energy Meridians. That served to show him how strong the top planets are. Of course, Boen didn't like that comparison, though. But he had to keep his face and the face of his planet, so he took out the spirit stones and passed it to Krune.

"Brother, you are good."

Krune smiled and received the spirit stones. After that, he passed the spirit stone he received from Nadia back to her. As for Nala, she came forward and said.

"It was even higher than I expected, your Lightning Element control is really frightening. Let me introduce myself again, but this time, in a different way."

She then took a deep breath and said.

"Nala Glorel, Ten Major Core's Life Core."

Krune understood what she meant. Suddenly, Krune's eyes started to change color and returned to the rainbow-like state. Now that his Major Core is known, there is no point in hiding his irises anymore.

"Krune, Ten Major Core's Elemental Core."

Krune knew that hiding it now would be of no use, be it cultivators or demon beasts, they would come to understand this fact after seeing his score. Not to mention that the Major Core users could feel his presence anyway.

Not only Boen, everyone else finally understood what was happening here. Krune had one of the Ten Major Cores, and it was the Elemental Core on top of that! No wonder his elemental control reached such a frightening level!

Boen finally understood why Nala and Krune seemed to expect each other's arrival. As a member of a strong clan in a top-ranked planet, he had some extra information about the Major Cores that others didn't. His elders had told him before that Major Core Owners can feel each other before entering the Core Formation Realm.

He knew that krune and Nala had never met before, but they still seemed to know that the other was coming. The clues were all there to see, but his pride made him neglect this fact. He could only blame himself for being soo blind. He sighed deeply, someone like that is bound to ascend in the ranks.

Nadia eyes lit up when she heard that, though.

"Brother Krune, you are so strong! Do you have a girlfriend already?"

Several female cultivators and demon beasts also looked at him like he was prey.

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I do have a fiance."

Krune couldn't help but think.

'Or at least, I think I have.'
