The fire in several girls' eyes extinguished as fast as they lit up, and Nadia was no exception.

"I guess that was to be expected."

Krune just laughed after that.

On the corner with the elders, Loni had a beaming face. He already had an idea that Krune had a Major Core, there is no way he could have such a result in the Martial Gathering without it.

"Loni, did you save the universe in your previous life? How did you find such a gem in that shit planet?"

The other outer elders nodded vigorously! Loni just took that as a joke, though. Bringing back talents that can enroll the sect is also rewarded by the sect. He is probably going to get something very good for bringing back a Major Core.

"You haven't seen all yet, wait for the rest to take the test. Although they aren't as good as Krune, they are not shabby."

All the elders were taken aback! Could it be that there are even more talents from that planet? But it was then that they remember the special ability of the Elemental Core.

"Right, the Elemental Eye Irises! If this guy used it to guide his companions for a long time, there is no doubt that they have improved their elemental control by leaps and bounds too."

The other elders' eyes lit up after hearing that! Now they are even more interested in looking at the results of Krune's friend. But there is one thing that Elder Loni hasn't told them. Krune can also use Tribulation Lightning! But he will keep quiet about that, Krune is probably keeping it hidden as his trump card.

Nala then went to take the test herself. Since Krune showed his abilities, she had to do the same. She has her pride, after all. They just need to see which element she would use in the test.

Nala got close to one of the equipment and started to focus on her wood element, not long after, the equipment showed her result.

"Wood Element, 21065 points."

Another uproar came out. Although Nala's result wasn't as good as Krune's Lightning Element, it was still several times higher than the majority of the cultivators and demon beasts around. In fact, Krune's element control was supposed to be lower than her. The Elemental Core is an element balanced Major Core. The proof is that Krune can't achieve over 20000 points with any other element other than Lightning. But because he has both the Myriad Energies Technique and the Tribulation Lightning, he was able to show such an absurd number.

"Impressive"

Nala came back and shook her head.

"Not as your Lightning Element, though."

Krune then asked something that as puzzling him.

"Aren't Life Core owners supposed to be able to control Light Element even in earlier stages of cultivation?"

Nala nodded.

"I can, indeed."

She then extended her hand and focused on the Light Element. Suddenly, specs of light started to spin around her hand, and it was very beautiful.

"But it is exactly because I can do it in such an earlier stage of cultivation that my control over it is poor. If I tested it now, I reckon that I would barely surpass the 10000 points with it. Of course, if we are talking about plain healing ability, then my light element would be better for it than wood. Also, after I get to the Divine Soul Realm, this barrier that impedes me from using Light Element will disappear. So it will get a super boost at that point."

Krune nodded, each Major Core had their advantages and disadvantages. If he were to think about one for his Elemental Core, that would be the fact that he doesn't have any main strong element. Once again, his Lightning Element only got to this level because of the Tribulation Lightning and Myriad Energies Technique. Not to mention his All-Encompassing Soul Technique.

If Krune removes his Elemental Energy Meridians and his Tribulation Lightning, he would have around 12000 to 13000 points in every single element at the moment.

In the last six months, Krune's cultivation had also reached the 9th stage. Thanks to his Elemental Meridians, he should now be able to achieve around 16000 points for each element other than Lightning.

Krune exchanged a few more words with her and returned to his group, all he wanted to do was to see who had a Major Core like him. Yusa, Shinja, and Ao knew about it already, so they were calm. As for Tasier, Arlan, Lofa, and the rest of the Makui Planet contestants, that was the first time hearing about it. In the end, Arlan couldn't help but comment.

"We have been friends for so long, but you couldn't even tell me about it."

Krune laughed at that comment, though.

"That would be no fun at all."

Arlan also laughed. He knows what the real reason is anyway. An Elemental Core shouldn't be something that you go around telling others about. But now that they are in the Divine Path Sect, Krune will have to go all out. His Elemental Core would appear sooner or later.

Krune's group was curious about another thing, though.

"Did you know she had a Major Core from the start?"

Krune nodded.

"I could feel it resonating with my own. There is also another two Major Cores participating in the Exam, it's just that they aren't nearby at the moment."

Everyone was taken aback, counting with Krune, there are four Major Cores! The Exam is getting harder by the minute. Not to mention those like Boen, who don't have Major Cores but still have outstanding elemental control. One can only imagine how good their techniques and combat prowess is.

Krune then turned to Ao and the others and said through Divine Sense.

"You know the reason for my Lightning Element control to be this high, but my other elements aren't the same. Shinja's water element isn't worse than mine either, and Arlan will probably come to have a fire element just as good. So don't bother with the results of the others, I refuse to believe that you can't fight them head-on!"

Ao and the others nodded. If the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam was easy, their Makui Planet wouldn't have failed for thousands of years. They should have expected that only monsters would appear around. Ao then took a step forward and went to one of the testing equipment. Because he was also part of Krune's group, quite a few people paid attention to him.

It has been half a year since the end of the Martial Gathering. During this time, Ao has broken through into the 9th stage of the Foundation Establishment and is close to the peak of it. So he got a good boost on his Divine Sense and, consequently, his Elemental Control too.

He got close to one of that testing equipment and concentrated on his Wind Element. Soon, his result appeared on the monitor.

"Wind Element, 10264 points."

That was more or less what Ao expected. But he also knows that it is most likely the limit of what he can get in the Foundation Establishment. In the end, he only has six Spiritual Energy Meridians, and he doesn't have any special traits Like Arlan or Shinja. Of course, he wasn't sad about that result. When would he ever be able to get to this point if not for Krune?

At that moment, the only ones that looked composed were Ao's friends and the other qualified members from Makui Planet. The rest of the Cultivators and Demon Beasts went in another wave of discussion. Since when that little planet started to give birth to so many geniuses?

Arlan decided to try right after, and of course, he chose Fire Element. In the last six months, he was able to open Six Meridians just like Ao. The reason for that is quite simple, he doesn't lack spirit stones! The main reason as to why Krune and the others took so long to get that many meridians were basically the lack of spirit stones. But Arlan, as the only contestant of the Makui Mercenary Guild, obviously didn't have that problem.

"Fire Element, 12645 points."

Arlan looked at that and sighed. He is still quite far away from Krune's level in Fire Element. As for everyone else, their mouths couldn't be more open at the moment. Just what is happening to this Makui Planet?

Tasier and Lofa came right after.

"Lighting Element, 9150 points."

"Water Element, 8061 points."

They don't have the Spiritual Energy Meridians, nor do they even know that they exist. So it was already very impressive that in the least six months of guidance gave by Shinja and Krune, they achieved this level. Tasier having a bigger score than Lofa Harcken was pretty obvious. He is a Thunder Hawk, and Lightning Element is his race innate ability after all.

Boen also looked at that like he had seen a ghost. Every single one had a control better or at the same level as him. But he wasn't feeling insecure. He still believes that his clan techniques are much better and that his combat prowess is definitely higher than them.

Shinja and Yusa decided to take the test too, but their scores were pretty standard. There are two reasons for that. First, the score measure for Core Formation participants is different from Foundation Establishment, so they can't compare it with Krune and the others.

And second, the scores that are shown at the moment are taking everyone under the age of 40 in the Core Formation Stage. There are definitely some geniuses from top-ranked planets in the middle or even late stages of the Core Formation Realm. It would be of no use for Yusa and Shinja to compare their elemental control with them. The difference in cultivation was just too big.

Of course, some felt threatened by the two girls. And they were none other than those High Cultivation Stage Core Formation participants. They could sense Yusa and Shinja's cultivator at the 1st and 2nd stages. But they still had such a high score comparable with even some of the 5th and 6th stages of the same realm.

As for the other outer sect elders, they looked at Loni with envy. Why weren't they the ones who were assigned to Makui Planet this time? Although this kind of situation wasn't unheard of, it is still quite rare to happen. They are sure that Loni is bound to get a very handsome reward from the sect, and even a promotion to become an inner sect elder isn't out of the question.

Krune looked at all the results and nodded, he was pretty much satisfied with their progress during this time. As for the other two Major Core participants, it seems like he will need to wait until the Entrance Exam to meet them.
