If there was one thing that the Sect doesn't lack, those are duel arenas. You never know when some discordance can be found between so many disciples of the Sect, after all. There are also those who just want to fight for training or test new abilities. Because of that, almost everywhere in the Sect has at least one arena with a protection formation. Of course, those arenas can at most hold cultivators and demon beast of the Divine Soul Realm. Above that, the formation would be too expensive to be maintained all the time.

But any cultivator or demon beast above that realm can keep themselves alive even in the void. So there was no need for arenas, they just have to go outer space for whatever is the reason.

Krune and Wang Ting just so happen to have chosen one of those. Not much longer after that, the elder responsible for the arena also appeared. The Sect can't have disciples fighting to death since they are the geniuses of the entire territory, so the elders put in charge of those arenas are always at the Void Breaking Realm at the very least.

But when the elder received the message about the ones fighting, he was taken aback!

"What? The Sect Master's disciple and the genius of the Wang Clan from the exchange program?"

It didn't take long for the news to spread, and soon, the surroundings were full of disciples and some elders who wanted to watch the show. Everyone knows that Krune is the Sect Master, but they don't know much about his battle prowess. Because of that, everyone was curious to see just how he would perform.

Not long after, even the members of other delegations appeared. They, too, were curious about Krune. Since the Sect Master dared to take a wisp as a disciple, he definitely isn't simple. The only question is how good he is.

In the end, even Lucio and the grand elders that accompanied their members here in the Divine Path Sect came to take a look. None of them tried to stop this battle. In fact, it was a very common occurrence during the exchange training program. Each and every genius of the big four wanted to prove that they are better than the other, after all.

Lucio looked at that and laughed.

"Haha! So the first ones not being able to hold back anymore were my disciple and the boy from the Wang Clan. I know my disciple very well, and I'm certain that he would never start a fight by himself. It seems like this Wang boy is quite the hot-blooded kid.

The grand elder of the Wang Clan that also came with Feifei and Uncle Feng showed an embarrassed face. His name was Wang Tian.

"Sigh. I know that kid too, so I can even understand why he went to provoke your disciple. I hope Sect Master won't mind such behavior."

Lucio simply shook his head.

The elders of the other powers would never stop those battles since it would also affect their power's face.

---

On the arena, Krune noticed that a lot of eyes came to watch, which made him feel gloomy.

'Why did the elder from the arena wait so long? If he had let us start straight away, it would be already over before anyone arrived.'

But that was only for a little while. That's because Krune also noticed that Feifei was there. Immediately, his eyes lit up!

'Well, it might not be so bad, at least I can show Feifei how much I have improved since the time we first met.'

The elder noticed that everyone that mattered was already there and decided to start the battle.

"Are you two ready?"

Krune and Ting nodded.

The elder then said.

"Start!"

Wang Ting was a Metal, Earth, and Fire user. He immediately created a kind of Spiritual Energy Barrier that had both Earth and Metal elements infused. That was the first time Krune saw something like that. Krune had seen Spiritual Energy Barriers before, but not with two elements infused at the same time.

After that, Ting took out a spear and charged forward.

Krune saw that barrier and immediately understood.

'I see, Metal Element is a branch of the Earth Element, so they complement each other. Not only I need to break through his armor, but I also have to break through this barrier before even doing that.'

Wang Ting then said while attacking.

"Are you not going to take your real form? You won't have the change later."

Krune then laughed.

"Don't worry, at this level, there is no need for me to go back to my realm form to battle, that would be just bullying."

Krune could now use up to 50% of Tribulation Lightning power while in his human form, so he immediately did that. The second that Ting was about to reach the wisp, Krune disappeared!

Still, Wang Ting is one of the top geniuses of the Wang Territory, so although Krune was fast, he could still keep track of his movements with his Divine Sense.

'So fast! But speed is far from being enough to get you the victory.'

Wang Ting then stomped on the ground, and immediately, thousands of metal spikes came out around the place that Krune was moving. Krune, of course, noticed that and counter attacked. Just as the metal spikes were about to hit him, they stopped in place.

"Earth Manipulation!"

The grand elders of the other powers and their participants opened their eyes wild!

"Impossible!"

Krune had just done something that they didn't believe. He used his own Earth Element to intervene in the enemy's own Control. But the thing is that it shouldn't be possible! For Krune to achieve that, his understanding of the Earth Element must be much higher than Ting. But Ting is already at the 8th stage of the Core Formation Realm, and Earth Element is his specialization! How can Krune do that while he is still at the 1st stage?!

Of course, another reason for that is because Wang Ting had suppressed his cultivation to the 1st stage of the Core Formation Realm too. Otherwise, the difference in cultivation would make it really difficult for Krune to achieve this result. At most, Krune would only be able to slow down the attack a bit.

That wasn't the first time that Krune did that, though. He also made something similar to it against Ula back in the Hundred Floors Tower test.

Wang Ting also showed a face of disbelief! But the battle was still going on, so he couldn't simply stop now. Ting then gave up long-ranged element manipulation and charged forward once more. The closer he is to the attack, the better would be his Control over the elements he is using. In that case, Krune wouldn't be able to use this trick again.

But there was one problem, Ting isn't a speed-focused cultivator! It doesn't matter how much he pursued, he simply couldn't catch Krune.

There was also another thing that was making him worried. Until now... Krune hasn't attacked yet!

Krune wasn't doing that on purpose. This was the first time he was fighting in the Core Formation Realm, and for good or bad, his opponent is a real genius of the Wang Clan Territory. So this was a good opportunity for him to check his newly acquired power.

'I see, so that's how it is, it seems like Master's Elemental Regulation Technique is already taking effect. My other Elements Control power have improved a lot. Depending on the distance that the enemies are from the attack, I can even stop them from using it. This guy seems to have a very high defense, so let's try some attacks now.'

Krune then finally started his long-ranged offensive. First, he used attacks without Tribulation Lightning to see how much damage it could cause. But Ting was indeed a genius. Although some of the attacks went through the Spiritual Energy Barrier, they were still stopped by his spear or armor. Of course, Krune wasn't putting his all in those attacks either since he knows that Wang Ting isn't his match in the same cultivation realm.

Gradually, Krune's attack power started to increase. Of course, Krune also started to use Elemental Source Energy on his attacks. Wang Ting was starting to feel helpless. Krune's pool of Spiritual Energy and Elemental Source Energy seemed infinite! Worst of all, he knows that Krune is a Tribulation Lightning user, but he still hasn't used that power to attack. So far, Krune only used that for his movement technique.

'This should be enough, I don't think I can get anything else at this level anymore.'

Suddenly, Krune's attack power increased several folds, and he started to infuse Tribulation Lightning power.

Surprisingly, Wang Ting seemed like to use some technique that increased his defenses even more!

The grand elder of the Wang Clan saw that and sighed.

"He started to use a self-injuring technique. That should be the Elemental Source Release Technique, which can allow him to bring out up to ten times more Elemental Source Energy than he would be able to. But there is a backlash for that, not only will the consumption become more than double of what it should, his dantian will be affected as well. I reckon that he will need to rest for at least a month before coming back to his peak."

Krune looked at that and was impressed.

'He can still resist my attacks! But what is that chaotic release of Elemental Source Energy? It is probably some forbidden technique of some sort. Anyway, that is also good! With his defense increased to this new level, I can finally try that out.'

Suddenly, the power of Tribulation Lightning, Water, and Fire Elements started to gather around Krune. He looked at Wang Ting in the distance and showed a playful smile before pointing the attack.

"Heaven's Tribulation Fire Explosion!"

Immediately, an attack that looked like his Heaven's Fall came down. But there was something different this time. The Purple Lightning was surrounded by Purple Fire!

"Not good!"

The Void Breaking Realm elder that was acting as a judge disappeared from his spot and reappeared right in front of Krune's attack!

Boom!

Purple Lightning and Fire spread everywhere, and even the protection formation trembled! One must remember that this formation was able to hold off even attacks of Divine Soul Realm cultivators and demon beasts, which includes those at the peak of this realm. For Krune attack to make it tremble a little, it goes to show just how powerful it was!

After a few seconds, the elder had put everything back into Control and looked at Wang Ting's fearful face behind him. If the elder hadn't intervened, Wang Ting would be dead now. In Fact, Wang Ting wasn't even sure if he could resist that attack without suppressing his cultivation at all!

The elder then looked at Krune's calm face on the other side of the arena and said.

"Krune from the Divine Path Sect wins!"

Lucio was watching it and could see the grand elders' faces on his side.

"Haha! Did he think that this Sect Master's first disciple would be weak just because he is a wisp? He is my very first disciple in 50 thousand years! It goes without saying that he had to be the best!"

The crowd was on an uproar. Krune turned out to be just too powerful! All the doubtful thoughts about him disappeared like smoke after watching this show.

That last attack was what Krune got from his battle against Gomat in the Hundred Floors Tower. Gomat used Water, Fire, and Lightning Elements to bring out Blue Flames. Krune then swapped the normal Lightning Element for Tribulation Lightning, and that was the result!

Light Spirit looked at that and couldn't help but think.

'So he really was able to bring those flames back. Now then, I wonder if you can bring the rest too.'

Back on the arena, Krune couldn't help but think.
