Chapter 257: Difficult to Control

It turned out that the Snake Clan appeared once more. But this time, Krune was not there to help. In the end, Ruik made a quick deal with Tiane. He would do anything she wanted as long as she helped with the situation.

Tiane immediately accepted the idea. Just like that, Ruik brought her close, and they pretended to have a relationship right there and then. Although Tiane was taken aback by that situation, she didn't show it on her face, and ultimately, they were successful in driving the female Snake that came this time around.

Once things were finished, the two immediately separated, and Tiane used her favor straight away. For one entire month, Ruik had to do whatever she said. If not, she didn't mind contacting the Snake Clan, telling them the truth. Ruik might be the way he is, but he still knew how to repay favors.

Since then, Ruik had been there for Tiane's every call. That is also why he looked so gloomy.

Krune and Feifei heard that and were speechless.

"Well, I guess this is fine since he got away from the Snake Clan once more."

Krune then ignored Ruik and proceeded to explain the situation about the travel to the wisp world.

"So, we were basically waiting for you two to come back to see if we could start our travel. According to Amark Guli, it will probably take a few weeks to go there and come back. If any of you want to stay during this time, that's good as well."

Ruik immediately agreed with the idea.

"I want to go, I wish to see how the wisp world is too."

Tiane also accepted it.

"Since Feifei is going, I'm definitely following. When are we departing?"

Krune pondered a bit and said.

"Well, I will need a few more days before that. So you can spend your time whoever you like. I will contact you three when I'm ready to go."

Ruik and Tiane nodded. The four of them talked about a few more things, and then Krune and Feifei returned to their rooms.

Ruik then got up and was moving to his room to take another nap when suddenly, Tiane called him out.

"Alright. Ruik, I'm going to buy a few things, come to help me out."

Ruik's mouth twitched, but due to their agreement, he still had over three weeks to keep hearing what she says.

"Okay."

Tiane showed an angry face.

"Okay?"

Ruik almost exploded, but still hold himself back.

"Y-Yes, Lady Tiane."

Tiane smiled and then nodded.

"That's more like it, be a good little snake and come with me."

Back in Krune's room, he started to comprehend the Flash Annihilation sub-law again. That is the reason why he asked for a few more days.

'I feel that I'm close to success. Once I understand the initial Stage, I will be able to use it in my Tribulation Lightning. As for the other laws, they can wait for now.'

Time passed, and soon, five days went by.

Feifei already got control over the Flow Law, and her cultivation advanced a little further. She was closer than never from entering the Divine Soul Realm. As for Krune, he was in his Wisp form at the moment. If he was in his human form, one would definitely be able to see how tired he was.

The reason is that two days ago, Krune finally got into the initial Stage of the Flash Annihilation Law. The following two, he had been trying to use it together with his Tribulation Lightning. But it turned out that it was harder than he thought. If not for the protection formation that Feifei raised in the house, Krune might have destroyed it already.

"This thing is too hard. It's like a ranging dragon!"

Light Spirit Laughed hearing that.

"It just means that your control isn't good enough. Also, this is just the initial stage of one of the laws. The more you comprehend, the greater will be the changes in the Tribulation Lightning. Still, you should have no reason to complain."

Krune nodded.

Controlling the Flash Annihilation Law in the Tribulation Lightning had increased its power considerably. This isn't the kind of power that one could gain in such a small amount of time, so Krune really had no reason to complain.

"Anyway, you should stop now. Forcing the issue might turn things worse in the end. Just give yourself some time to get used to the Flash Annihilation Law."

Krune nodded.

"Alright, since that's the case, we are almost ready to start our travel to the wisp world. There is only one last thing remaining."

Krune then brought several spirit stones out and started to cultivate. Not too long after, all that energy started to convert into Elemental Source Energy and entered his Rainbow Core. Inside, the Divine Soul 'egg' absorbed it all to the very last drop. After some time, a burst of Spiritual Energy came from Krune's wisp body, and it looked like his ethereal body had grown a bit.

"Phew, 7th Stage of the Core Formation Realm."

Light Spirit gave a mental nod.

"You have been in the 6th Stage for a very little time. But thanks to the first understanding of Laws, it gave you a quick temporary boost. It is well within the expectation that you would enter the 7th Stage by now."

Krune agreed with him and then spent the next few hours to bring his cultivation realm under control. After that, Krune returned to his human form and put his clothes on. He took his communicator out and then sent a message to everyone.

Feifei was cultivating in her room as well, so she immediately came out. As for Ruik and Tiane, it looked like the two were somewhere else. Or better, Ruik was still being forced to work for Tiane while following her. Still, they arrived around an hour later.

Krune then made some food for everyone to eat together.

"Alright! I finished what I had to do, so we can leave at any time. But since you waited for me to end my cultivation, if you have something to do as well, I can wait too."

Feifei shook her head.

"In my case, I was already expecting this, so I went to the Formations Master Organization branch and arranged my departure. Tiane is also part of the same branch, so she did the same."

Feifei then noticed.

"Oh! You entered the 7th Stage, nice!"

Krune smiled at Feifei and then waited for Ruik to answer.

Ruik looked somewhat tired. In the past few days, Tiane had forced him to do everything for her, so he had barely any time for his beloved naps. Yet, he also wanted to go to the wisp world.

"If I'm not in a mission, then I'm simply free. So I'm ready anytime."

Krune nodded and then explained a few more things before contacting Palo Yiag.

"I see. So you are ready to go there. That is good then, I will contact Elder lagan to help bring you to the nearest Teleport Formation. Also, someone will be here waiting for you too. For now, just come to the place where we held the Junior Alchemist Competition."

Krune agreed with Palo, and everyone left.

Krune and Feifei passed by the Mission Hall first to see if there was any mission they could take on the way. Both of them wanted to get some combat experience to test their improvement in cultivation.

"Let's see, there are a few missions here for a 1st or 2nd Stage Divine Soul Realm cultivator or demon beasts. Considering my and Feifei's level, it should be more or less enough for us to test our abilities."

Feifei took a look at it and approved it.

"That's good. I will try not to use my destiny core skills so that we can get a proper test."

Krune nodded, and the two of them quickly applied for one of the missions that were on the way to the wisp world. The employee on the counter was taken aback when he saw 'Wulia Feier' and Krune taking a Divine Soul Realm mission with their Core Formation Realm. He wanted to refuse their request, but in the end, supervisor Tarsa Fila intervened and accepted it. She knows Feifei and Krune combat strength, so it was evident that they selected something that they are confident about. Not to mention that they finally came to her Mission Hall. This was the first time ever since those two got their Mission Hall Qualification.

Krune and his group did as Palo asked and went to the agreed place. After arriving, Elder Lagan was already there waiting for them. But he wasn't the only addition, there was one more person waiting for them too.

"Hello, Krune. We met again."

It was none other than Dilo Krois!

Krune saw him, and his mouth twitched.

"I told you, there is really no need for you to follow me at all! Just go away and do whatever you like."

Dilo then asked.

"Are you sure I can do as I like?"

Krune immediately nodded without thinking.

"Then, I will do as I like and follow you."

Krune felt like crying. That's indeed what he said, but following him or acting as his subordinate wasn't part of the deal at all!

Elder Lagan then said.

"You should keep him. At least, let Dilo help you on your way to the wisp world. He can act as protection in case something goes out of control. We have been making deals for testing pills with Dilo for a long time. We also know his past, and I can guarantee you can trust him."

Krune sighed and accepted it in the end.
