Chapter 306: I Must be Crazy

Lucio then put Ruik's situation on the back of his mind and continued.

"Alright. I am indeed intrigued by your sentient Divine Soul. Still, because this is just a will I left in the Token, I don't have many memories that are not related to your training. Because of that, I won't be able to help you much in finding out why that happened, so let's go back to your cultivation."

Krune nodded and then asked.

"Master, I feel like although I'm in the intermediate level of the Elements Regulation Technique, I'm stuck in place. Why is that?"

Lucio nodded and then started to gather the surrounding elements and separate them equally. Surprisingly, there were Light and Dark higher elements as well.

"Can you see it? The Elements Regulation Technique that my Master, or your Grandmaster, created, is supposed to work with all elements. But because you weren't in the Divine Soul Realm before, you couldn't control Light and Dark."

Krune nodded.

"I see. I indeed can feel the presence of the Light and Dark Elements ever since I broke through."

Krune then thought about something else.

"Master, what about Time, Space, and Destiny? Are they considered Elements as well?"

Lucio shook his head.

"No, they are the same as the Dream Laws of your Snake friend. They are not Elements, only Laws. Our Elements Regulation Technique won't be touching them."

Lucio then showed a serious expression and said.

"Pay attention, this is the next level of the Elements Regulation Technique. Because I'm just a will, I don't want to use too much energy, so make sure to engrave it in your mind. This is also the reason why you couldn't progress anymore with it."

Krune nodded and immediately paid close attention.

Lucio then controlled the Five Main Elements and the Two Higher ones together. After some time, they started to fuse! When Krune saw that, he was frightened! One must remember that there are elements that are simply the opposite of each other. Just how is his Master mixing Fire and Water, or Wind and Earth? Or better, how can he fuse all of them together?!

"You see it? If you are not capable of doing this much, you will never enter the advanced level of the Elements Regulation Technique. You probably are thinking about how I'm fusing them together since there are opposite elements in the mix, right?"

Krune nodded vigorously.

"The reason is simple, I'm using proxies."

Krune had a high IQ, after all, so he immediately understood the idea.

"Wait, are you telling me that you are using elements that aren't the opposite to make a connection?"

Lucio smiled and nodded.

"Smart! Indeed, Water and Fire are elements that shouldn't be able to get together, but both of them can complement Earth. Wind can't get fused with Earth, but by using Water or Fire, it becomes possible."

Krune immediately asked.

"What about Light and Darkness?"

Lucio laughed and said.

"Isn't that obvious? Light and Darkness are compatible from the very start. Remember, there is no Light without Darkness, and the opposite is also valid. It will be a lot harder to fuse them with the Five Main Elements than it will be with each other."

Lucio then continued

"But don't misunderstand it. This Seven Elements Fusion is a different process from what you did with your Blue Flames. To create them, you separated the oxygen from the hydrogen. In the end, that Water couldn't be considered Water anymore. What I'm doing here is fusing the Elements itself, not their properties."

"Still, I believe that once you become able to do it, your own Blue, or better, Purple Flames will have a great boost."

Krune then asked.

"Master, I'm impressed that the Elements Regulation Technique can fuse all Elements Together, but what is the use for the result?"

Lucio smiled and said.

"The fact that they can be used in all types of Elemental Attacks. Take your combination of Myriad Water Dragons and Tribulation Lightning, for example. That is a synergy attack. Lightning and Water are very good with each other as long as you are good at controlling it. But do you think you would ever be able to put Fire Element inside it as well? Or better, do you think you could have all elements together, including Light and Darkness, fusing with that attack?"

Krune had to admit that he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

"Still, your Myriad Water Dragons would still be mainly a Water and Tribulation Lightning attack. The other fused elements are basically a boost for it. As I said, the Fused Elements are just a complement to increase the power of the habilities. They can be used with everything that is Element Related. Attacks or other kinds of Elemental skills that you thought to never be able to improve anymore just so happen to be perfect for it too."

Lucio smiled and added.

"Think about it as adding something extra that those skills didn't have before, but are more than pleased to go with."

Krune got excited after receiving the whole explanation. But it was then that he thought about something else and asked Luvile inside his Foundation.

"Light Spirit, do you think that the Tribulation Lightning can be added to the Five Main Elements and Two Higher Elements in this fusion?"

Light Spirit had been hearing everything until now and had to admit that he was curious as well.

"To be honest, I'm not sure. But I can guarantee that it would be complicated. Don't forget that my Tribulation Lightning eats the other Laws, so the chances are that the Fusion will fail from the very start."

Krune didn't feel sad but inspired instead.

"If you say it like that, it is not an impossibility, right?"

Light Spirit agreed with him.

"Exactly. I have to admit that this Elements Regulation Technique is quite something. Although I could do what your Master is showing you, I was already in the higher realms. With my cultivation at that time, it was basically a forced process too. But this Technique is using some unusual characteristics to achieve the same result. I'm quite impressed."

Krune then asked.

"In that case, how should I go about it to get the Tribulation Lightning in the mix?"

Light Spirit snorted and then replied.

"Simple, the main hindrance to this Fusion is the fact that my Tribulation Lightning eats the other Laws. First, you need to reach the culmination in the Law Eating Sub-Law of the Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws. Then, MAYBE, you will have enough control over it to impede the Purple Tribulation Lightning from destroying the Fusion without losing its power."

Krune excitement immediately deflated like a balloon after hearing that. Krune had already spent enough time in the World of Laws to understand that the Law Eating Sub-Law is one of the hardest ones. It only loses to the Lightning Formation Sub-Law that can only be comprehended after finishing the other five previous ones.

Light Spirit knew what Krune was thinking and then said.

"Don't mind it now, you haven't got used to Light and Dark Elements yet, much less have you understood any of their Laws. Before you are able to make that Fusion your Master is showing, there is no point in thinking about putting the Tribulation Lightning in the mix."

Krune sighed and nodded. He then returned his attention to his Master and asked.

"Master, so what should I do to fuse all seven?"

Lucio nodded and stopped using the Fused Elements.

"I will explain from the start, so be sure to pay attention."

Lucio and Krune spent the next few hours practicing. Of course, Krune was far from being able to do what Lucio showed, but he at least understood which way he should go.

"Alright, that should do for now. You just go ahead and practice it for the time being. Just be aware that it will take a lot longer to achieve this level than it was to reach the Intermediate Level. Still, by the time you complete it, you will be officially in the Advanced Stage. When that time comes, I will teach you the last step to achieve culmination."

Krune nodded.

"I understand."

Krune then thought about something else.

"Master, what about my Laws? Is there something that I should pay attention to?"

Lucio shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Laws are a very personal thing. There isn't much that can be taught about ti to start with. If you are thinking about using the Elements Regulation Technique to fuse the Laws too, that won't work. That is because there are other Laws that have nothing to do with Elements to start with."

"Of course, there is no problem in using the Elemental Laws to help fuse the elements. In fact, it will be even easier to achieve the fused state if you do. But the Laws themselves won't get fused."

Krune nodded. He already understood it when Light Spirit said that he could control the Law Eating Sub-Law if he tried to fuse the Tribulation Lightning as well. It is also evident that his Master is expecting him to use Laws to achieve the fused state faster. Krune couldn't help but feel impressed. After all, his Master's Will was able to do the Fusion of the elements without using a single Law. It shows just how proficient Lucio got with the Technique.

Krune and Lucio then talked for a little longer to fix some details. After that, Lucio's Will returned to the Token, and the room became silent again. Krune looked at it and couldn't help but sigh. If he said that he didn't miss that old geezer, that would be a blatant lie!

"I must be getting crazy if I'm missing him."

By the time Krune finished, Dilo was already outside, waiting for him. In fact, it was both him and his wife, Xankruan. When Krune exited his room, he looked at Dilo and asked.

"So, what is your answer?"
