Krune came out of the arena, and the disciples opened the way for him. Feifei, who had been watching the fight, had a big smile on her face. Krune then smiled back and then went back to his corner. It was then that Lucio sent him a Divine Sense message.

"You didn't use this attack against me back then."

Krune then answered back.

"It wasn't ready at that time, I used the next few days to get used to it after I returned home. But this was the first time trying it out, and to be honest, I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not. Of course, this attack just now is still far from what it can get. If I had my Flying Shields, I could bring the real power of it out."

Lucio was impressed that it was still not the limit of his power.

"If that is true, then I reckon that you should be able to go up one more level against other Major Core owners. I believe that the 3rd stages shouldn't be too hard while only the 4th stages would be able to fight you head-on. Of course, the western territory is big, let alone the entire universe. So do not let your guard down since you never know what kind of cultivator or demon beast is out there."

Krune nodded and didn't say anything else.

Wang Ting then came back to his group with an awful expression. But no one blamed him, that wisp had just shown why it was the first disciple of the Sect Master. The grand elder then sent him a Divine Sense message.

"In your condition, you won't be able to use the Spiritual Pool properly. I already talked with the Divine Path Sect Master, and he agreed to let you enter it a month later after you return to your peak."

Want Ting let out a sigh of relief and thanked the grand elder.

Still, there was another thing bothering him, the fact that Feifei seemed very happy with this result. But it was not like he could rebuke her either, which made him feel even worse. In the end, he could only think.

'What side are you?'

But that was all.

A few hours later, the Spiritual Pool was finally opened for everyone. They would be able to enjoy it for a month before leaving. It was the first time that Krune saw something like that, but it was also good since he would be able to test just how powerful his Elemental Meridians are.

'Even with Rank Five spirit stones, I still can't bring my Elemental Meridians to their full capacity. Master said that this pool is even better than Rank 10 Spirit Stones, so let's see just how much I can absorb at the same time.'

There was no specific place for everyone to stay, they just had to enter it and start to absorb the spiritual energy. Because of that, Feifei immediately decided to stay close with Krune, much for Lofa displeasure. Lofa then did the same and went there to stay close to him too. In the end, the Wang Clan Territory guys followed Feifei while Tasier and Lofa got close to Krune.

It turned out that although the pool was quite big, Krune felt like it was quite packed. He then decided to move away from them so that he could concentrate on the Spiritual Energy absorption. Still, soon, the same thing happened again.

"You guys! Can't you go somewhere else? I can't concentrate like this!"

Feifei and Lofa then showed a sad face and asked.

"Even me?"

Krune was taken aback with that question. In fact, even the Wang Clan guys were the same. They already noticed that Feifei seemed to pay more attention to the wisp than them, and now, two girls even requested to stay with him! How could they not feel jealous? If not for the fact that they believe that Feifei is just acting like this out of curiosity for this wisp, they would have definitely intervened.

Krune then steeled his heart and said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't lose this chance to cultivate! Please understand what it implies."

Feifei and Lofa and sighed and looked at each other.

"Hmph!"

After that, they separated.

Krune looked at the two girls' reaction and couldn't help but ask Tasier.

"Did something happen between those two?"

Tasier didn't know whether to laugh or cry! How could Krune be so blind?

"You will find out about it soon, for now, don't ask me."

Krune got even more puzzled but decided to put these thoughts on the back of his mind. He finally got enough space to cultivate so he can finally check how good his Elemental Meridians can perform.

'Well, let's see.'

He immediately opened his Meridians and started to absorb the Spiritual Energy. Sure enough, the rate of absorption jumped several times! Krune's eyes lit up at that moment! That's because even with such a high rate of absorption, his Elemental Meridians were still able to convert 50% of the Spiritual Energy directly into Elemental Source Energy!

'That's not all! Master said that this pool would also not cause any damage to the foundation due to the fast rate of cultivation. The cultivation resources used in this pool not only are keeping my foundation in a good state, but they are also improving it a little.'

Krune then showed a smile and thought.

'Time to go all out!'

Suddenly, everyone using the pool at that moment noticed a disturbance in the Spiritual Energy. When they opened their eyes and looked at Krune, they felt like they were hallucinating! There was so much Spiritual Energy rushing into Krune's body that it was affecting even their spots far away from him! They couldn't help but think.

"Is that really a wisp?"

In the end, they had to call Krune out to tell what he was doing.

When Krune heard everyone's voices, he was taken aback.

"My absorption rate is affecting you all that distance away?"

Everyone nodded, and even Feifei and Lofa were no exception!

Krune then felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't his intention to disturb anyone, and that's why he made sure to open quite some distance from everyone else. Still, it seemed like his Elemental Meridians are too powerful! In fact, the majority called him over simply because they were jealous! They, too, wanted to be able to cultivate at that speed.

'Just how can this guy do it?'

They weren't the only ones. The grand elders of the other three powers were also watching their members and were taken aback by what Krune did.

"Lucio, just what is wrong with that wisp? No, first of all, is that really a wisp?"

Lucio nodded.

"He is as much as a wisp as any other wisp you had ever seen before. As for how he is so good at cultivation, that is a secret! Hahaha!"

The elders felt gloomy but knew that it would do no good to ask further.

Lucio then went to the border of the pool and yelled from a distance.

"Hey, the rainbow wisp right there! Leave some spiritual energy for everyone."

Krune almost fainted! His concentration that had just come back to normal was immediately broken, just like that.

"Go to hell, old geezer! Do you think that after everyone's complaints, I wouldn't know that already?"

Let alone the disciples of the Divine Path Realm and the elders, even the other powers participants and their elders froze at that moment! They couldn't help but think.

'He dared to talk like that with the Sect Master?'

But to their surprise, Lucio just laughed out loud.

"It's good that you know. otherwise, you would make me lose face."

Only gods know how much Krune wants to give that guy a beating!

"Hmph!"

No one could understand anything anymore! Where is the famous cold Sect Master Lucio Koffel? In fact, the grand elders of the other powers felt that Lucio was acting quite differently from what they knew. According to their information, Lucio was supposed to be a serious character and rarely showed a smile at all. But ever since they arrived, Lucio had been laughing a lot. And now, this situation!

Krune then ignored that thing that was supposed to be his Master and focused on cultivating again. This time, he made sure that his own rate of absorption would not intervene with the others. Still, Krune's cultivation speed was definitely at least 2 to 3 times faster than any of them!

'At this rate, by the end of the month, I should be already in the 2nd stage. Perhaps, I can even enter the 3rd!'

Feifei looked at Krune with a smile on her face. It was evident that their promise wasn't the only thing that kept him moving forward anymore.

'So you have a lot more to care about now, don't you? But that's is good! With that determination, I'm sure you will get even further!'

Lofa and Tasier were also doing their best to cultivate. They were, after all, the only Foundation Establishment participants this time around. If not for Krune, they wouldn't even be able to dream with such an opportunity!

Just like that, a week passed. Suddenly, everyone felt a grand surge of spiritual energy, moving in a specific direction. This time, it wasn't Krune, but Tasier instead. But that was all, Tasier then opened his eyes and flew away from the pool.

Krune looked at that and smiled.

'He is ready to breakthrough now.'

That was right! The only reason that Tasier didn't make the breakthrough right there was because of the Heavenly Tribulation. The place he flew to is the teleport formation that led to the Planet where the disciples usually make their breakthroughs. He had already reached a deal with Krune and bought one of his Soul Healing Pills. With that, Krune was pretty much sure that he wouldn't have a problem during his breakthrough. Not to mention that Tasier is a Thunder Hawk, he is especially resistant to lightning type energies to start with.

Lofa also noticed that, and a look of determination appeared on her eyes.

'At most one more week, and I will breakthrough as well!'
