Chapter 185 Even Wisps Can be Wrong, No?
Krune didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry! What does it have to do with me being your disciple?
"I won\'t bother with your comments, old geezer. Anyway, what you plan to do with it now, will you give it a try?"
Lucio pondered a bit and then looked at Uncle Feng.
"If I\'m not wrong, it doesn\'t have much of use at our realm, correct?"
Uncle Feng smiled and nodded.
"Correct. This technique is amazing for those at the Soul Forging and below. You might as well say that it is the best I have ever seen. But at Void Breaking and above, it really doesn\'t change much. It can\'t create Chaos Energy, after all."
Lucio agreed with that point.
"I was already expecting it."
He then looked at Krune and said.
"I won\'t try it since it has no use for me at the moment. But if you are ever able to create a version that can use Chaos Energy, then let me know."
Krune was surprised by that.
"Aren\'t you going to ask to let the sect be able to use it?"
Lucio looked at Krune and snorted.
"I\'m not that idiot. This thing would cause too much of a stir if we show it to the world. Even if I decided to only allow Legacy disciples to cultivate it, the other powers would sooner or later notice that they are improving way too fast. At that point, we might become the common enemy of everyone since the others would feel threatened."
Uncle Feng heard that and nodded.
"This is also the reason why I told you that I won\'t show it to the Wang Clan. It might bring more harm than good. We are not talking about only the Western Protectorate here. This thing could cause a stir even in the Central Region, let alone the other sides."
"Oh, right! There was one more thing. I noticed that it could also enhance the elemental understanding. It makes it easier to control them, as well. This is one more reason to not let it out so easily."
Krune knew that his technique was very good, but not to the point of starting a war.
Lucio then asked Krune.
"I want an account of everyone who is currently practicing this technique. I need to talk with them all to make sure that they won\'t let it go out."
Uncle Feng also agreed with Lucio.
"Your Master is correct. It is also for their own safety."
Krune nodded and said.
"At first, most of the wisps were using the real version, but now only those who entered the Foundation Establishment are still with it. I had all the wisps change their cultivation technique to the Myriad Wisps Technique. As you probably already noticed, that technique is also very good, but not like the real version. Not to mention that it only works for wisps, so they shouldn\'t have a problem."
Krune continued
"Other than them, there is also the demon beasts like the Lizard Dragons and Lakin\'s friends, which are three. So, at the moment we have:
4 Wisps counting with me;
9 Demon Beasts counting with Tasier;
The humans are Lofa, Ao, Yusa, Shinja, and Arlan;
And the rest are Master, Uncle Feng, and Feifei."
Lucio nodded.
"If those are the only ones, then that\'s okay. With this amount of practitioners, it will be too hard for anyone to notice any difference. After all, the Divine Path Sect has tens of thousands of disciples between Foundation Establishment and Soul Forging. But you should refrain from showing it to anyone else from now on, understood?"
This was one of the rare times that Krune ever saw Lucio talking really seriously. Hence, he understood that the situation was graver than he thought.
"Alright. I didn\'t have any intention to pass it to anyone else for the time being anyway."
Lucio nodded.
"I will talk with everyone, too, just to make sure."
Lucio hen turned to Uncle Feng, but before he could say anything, Uncle Feng cut him.
"You don\'t need to worry. I told you already, didn\'t I? I won\'t be showing it to the Wang Clan either. At least not until Krune has reached a realm where he can defend himself."
Lucio nodded, satisfied.
With this topic finished, Krune looked at his Master and asked.
"By the way, old geezer. Why did you come here?"
Lucio answered.
"Oh, right! The Blacksmith Hall contacted me about your progress there. When I sent you to make your flying shields, I didn\'t expect that you would try to create the Divine Imprints yourself. So I came to ask if you can get it ready before the missions starting in 4 months."
Krune nodded.
"That shouldn\'t be a problem. They said that although I can\'t create the shields themselves before reaching the peak of the Silver Star Level, I can leave the shields to them and make the Imprints only. Like that, I only need to reach the Five Silver Stars."
Lucio looked at Krune and narrowed his eyes.
"Is what they told me true? Were you just a Three Bronze Stars blacksmith around two months before the spiritual pool opened?"
Krune nodded. It\'s not like he needed to keep it a secret. He just didn\'t want to catch the others\' attention.
Uncle Feng noticed Lucio\'s weird face and asked.
"Errr... Then, what level are you now?"
Krune then took out his Two Silver Stars badge and showed it to him.
Uncle Feng looked at that amazed.
"After you left the Spiritual Pool, you only spent three weeks in the Blacksmith Hall. Doesn\'t that mean that you have gone from a Three Bronze Stars to a Two Silver Stars in a little less than three months?"
Krune pondered a bit and nodded in the end.
"That\'s about correct. But it\'s starting to get hard to improve my rank. I believe I will need the next 3 to 4 months to reach the Five Silver Stars. Sigh... It\'s not easy to manage time when you are a wisp."
Uncle Feng felt like giving Krune a good beating! Are you making fun of me? Usually, any normal Blacksmith apprentice would take no less than two years to go from Bronze Stars to Silver Stars, and that is counting that they are part of a big power like theirs. Even the talented geniuses still take over a year. But you did that in less than three months!
Lucio, on the other hand, just laughed.
"Hahaha! As expected of my disciple, you obviously had to be at least this talented."
Uncle Feng\'s jaw dropped!
\'Perhaps, both Master and Disciple need a beating... together!\'
Unfortunately, he knows that it was not the place for that.
Feifei, on the other hand, felt even more proud of Krune. Her smile couldn\'t be brighter at the moment.
Lucio noticed that and chuckled.
"This Wang girl is having quite the deal for getting this disciple of mine. Still, you are quite talented yourself, so I look forward to seeing how good your children will be."
Uncle Feng also nodded.
"Indeed, I\'m very curious to see how a wisp and a human child look like. Too bad that it is still too early for that."
Feifei\'s face went totally red like a tomato. After all, to have a child, she would need to make \'that\' with Krune. Not that she is unwilling, of course.
Uncle Fend and Lucio saw that laughed out loud.
They then looked at Krune and were surprised.
Krune didn\'t seem embarrassed at all! In fact, he had a face that showed that he was thinking deeply about something.
"What are you pondering about?"
Krune was awakened from his stupor and said.
"To have a child... Doesn\'t that mean we need to have s*x with each other? Or at least, that\'s what the other common beasts did while I lived in the Makui Forest. Should I just do the same? But now that I think about it, how do I get my pe-"
Before he could finish, Feifei cut him off!
"Shut up!"
She couldn\'t take that anymore. Krune was making it way too much \'detailed\' for her heart.
Uncle Feng and Lucio, obviously, were laughing even more. That is, without a doubt, the Krune that they know!
Krune was taken aback with that, though.
\'Could it be that my information is wrong? I guess I will look into it on the Sect network later.\'
While trying to stop laughing, Lucio turned to Krune and said.
"Don\'t worry. You are pretty much correct. Still, this is something that shouldn\'t be discussed in the open like that, especially in front of your beloved."
He then turned to Feifei and said.
"When the time comes, you just need to leave it to Feifei. I\'m sure that as a girl, she can make your little friend work without a problem."
Feifei just wanted to dig a hole and hide inside there forever!
Still, Krune was puzzled, though.
"Which friend is it? Do I need a friend for it? So weird..."
Only then did Lucio remember who he was talking to, and then he explained which \'friend\' he was talking about through a Divine Sense message.
"Oh! So that is my little friend. Alright, I will wait until Feifei can show me then."
Feifei finally had her fill and stood up to leave.
"I... am going back to my room. I will send a message to you when I get free again."
Krune nodded.
"Okay. I also need to go back to the Blacksmith Hall to keep my training too. If you get any question about the Myriad Energies Technique, let me know."
Feifei nodded and was just about to leave when she heard Lucio\'s voice from behind.
"Everyone here knows about your relationship. In that case, shouldn\'t you at least give Krune a goodbye kiss?"
Her feet then immediately froze in place.
Krune heard that too and looked at Lucio.
"Old geezer. If Feifei doesn\'t want something, then there is no need for that. I will never force her to anything that she doesn\'t want."
Krune then turned to Feifei and said.
"Feifei, just ignore this idiot Master of mine. Besides, I\'m a wisp. I don\'t see too much of a meaning in things like a kiss anyway."
Feifei was taken aback. Krune might not, but she, as a human girl, obviously does! She then gritted teeth and walked back to Krune.
She then grabbed his head and... forcefully stole Krune\'s first kiss!
"You might not see much of a meaning, but I definitely do! Also, I want a lot more in the future."
Right after saying that, she disappeared like smoke! She probably had never moved so fast before. Uncle Feng, of course, followed Feifei with a smug face.
Krune was taken aback by that and looked at the direction that Feifei left absent-minded.
Lucio also had the same smug face as Uncle Feng and asked.
"So... you don\'t see too much of a meaning in kisses, right?"
Krune immediately came back to himself and felt quite embarrassed.
"Cough, cough. Even wisps can be wrong, no?"
Lucio heard that and laughed even more.
