All demon beasts in the human form returned to their original form. But there was only one that really caught everyone's attention. Quite a lot of cultivators and demon beasts were curious about which race Krune came from. After all, he has an Elemental Core. Tasier, Arlan, and Lofa could be said to be the most curious of all. They have known Krune for some time, but even they didn't know that.
Krune was feeling helpless, though. He was already expecting to use his original form from the start. That's because he is indeed stronger in his wisp form, so he wanted to make sure to pass the test while using it. Still, he never expected that it would be so soon and in the middle of so many contestants. But there was nothing he could do, the situation happened too suddenly.
Sure enough, just a few seconds later, Krune came back to his true form, and as expected, everyone had only one thought after seeing that.
'Is that a wisp?'
Shinja, Ao, and Yusa shook their heads. There was nothing they could do about it at the moment. Not that there is a need to do something anyway. So they just treated it as an unfortunate event for Krune.
Tasier, Lofa, and Arlan had their jaws open wide! A wisp! Krune had always been a wisp! Neither of them had ever thought much about wisps. In fact, no one of those seeing him ever felt anything other than disdain either. But here he is, a wisp with one of the Ten Major Cores, the Elemental Core.
Suddenly, a nearby cultivator burst in laugh.
"A wisp! A Major Core appeared in a wisp! That's the greatest joke ever! So what if he has a Major Core? A wisp is just a wisp, I can beat him with a finger."
He wasn't the only one finding this situation hilarious, quite a few cultivators and demon beasts around were laughing as well. Suddenly, a demon beast from one of the strong planets came forward.
"I've never tasted a wisp since they aren't good for the foundation, but this is an illusion realm, so I guess I can finally try how good their energy is. Not to mention that this one has a Major Core."
This one was a Fanged Blood Bat. Different from the other beasts that were in human form before, this Bat couldn't transform before the core formation due to its race. It then was looking at Krune as if he was already the meal of the day. Everyone around looked at that and just snorted, now that they found that Krune is a wisp, they couldn't care less about his Major Core. It's just a wisp, there is nothing to worry about.
Lofa, Arlan, and Tasier were also taken aback. However, Krune had helped them a lot, so they still decided to step forward to defend him. But just as they were about to do so, Shinja, Ao, and Yusa stopped them.
"No need, that Bat has just dug its own grave, stay here and keep looking."
Others might not know, but how could Shinja's group not? There is only one thing that can make Krune go mad, and that is to look down on his wisp race. Hunt, Eat, Absorb, Disdain, Sell, all of that is included in Krune's unforgivable looking-down list.
Everyone noticed that the contestants from Krune planet didn't make a move to protect him. That made them think that they were afraid of the Bat and its companion from the same world. Since no one was in front of the Bat anymore, it immediately attacked intending to eat Krune whole. Shinja, Ao, and Yusa just shook their heads, that Bat really wants to die.
No one could notice it because Krune was in his true form, but a certain wisp was really irritated at the moment. He intends to keep his Tribulation Lightning hidden as a trump card, but that doesn't mean that Krune is weak with regular lightning and other elements. Before the Bat could even get close to Krune, the wisp in front of it disappeared!
When everyone found him, Krune was already above the Bat. Around him, one could see several skills used all at once! Blazing Winds Blades, Myriad Water Thunder Dragons, Thunder Lines, Wind Ice Icicles, so on, and so forth! Every single one of them emanated a power several times higher than what any one of them could cast!
But they could only see that for a second. That's because that was all the time that Krune needed to prepare and shoot them! The Bat also noticed all of that with his Divine Sense, and it could only think one thing.
'Is that really a wisp?'
All of Krune's skills were shot at the same time, but they weren't all aimed at the Bat, just ten Blazing Wind Blades, and three Wind Ice Icicle came for it. Still, they were too fast! The Bat obviously tried to dodge, but not only were those attacks much faster than it, they even followed every change of position that it made. They can follow the target! A second later, the Bats head was sent flying by the Blazing Wind Blades while the Wind Ice Icicles pierced through its heart. It couldn't be more dead after that!
As for the rest of the skills? One could only hear screams all around! Krune didn't only target the Bat, but some of those close by who were laughing at him too. The only difference is that they didn't attack Krune at first, so Krune didn't kill them either. Still, every single one of them had been crippled for good in this illusionary realm. Although they still have their cultivations and bodies outside, the Entrance Exam is simply over for them now.
Krune was already being merciful, though. Only the Bat died in his hands, the others still can live a normal cultivation life after they fail in the test. If they are under the age of 30, they even have one more chance next time the Sect Entrance Exam happens. Krune then returned to his Planet's group side and looked at everyone around. Although the contestants from other planets couldn't tell where Krune was looking at, they all had the feeling that he was looking at them. Suddenly, everyone heard the wisp talk.
"Is there anyone else still curious about how good wisp energy taste like? I don't ming give the rest of you a taste of it as I did with those who were laughing just a second ago. In fact, I'm very eager to do so. I'm sure they the likely it very much too."
Let alone laughing sound, no one could hear a single word. The majority even looked away, afraid to get this god of death attention. Especially those who also laughed but were lucky enough to be far at that time. Still, they noticed that except for the Bat, the other ten or so cultivators and demon beasts just had their Cores and Dantians destroyed. They are still alive. But that didn't make them relived at all! Just how good must one's element control be to precisely hit all those cultivators and demon beasts Dantians and Cores at the same time?
As for the Bats companions, none of them said a single word. Some of them were in the batch that had just been crippled a moment ago, and they definitely don't want their Exam to end right now.
Krune looked around and noticed that no one showed a single look of disdain or laughed anymore. If anything, the majority was afraid to even look at him. Krune just snorted and turned back to his Makui Planet's contestants.
"Let's go! There are too many participants here, and I believe that a lot of them had already departed to look for doors to use."
This wasn't the time to talk about his real form. At the moment, everyone is afraid of pissing Krune. Still, if they decide to gang up on him, even his Tribulation Lightning won't be enough to keep everyone safe. The enemies also knew that very well, but there is also the fact that if they gang up on him, the first ones to attack are going to die without a doubt! No one wanted to be the sacrifice for the others, so no one made a move in the end.
In the distance, Colen, Gomat, and Nala had also noticed everything that happened. But they were basically between the few who did, and that's because they were focusing their Divine Senses on all the Major Core Owners. There are just too many contestants, and fights had broken everywhere already, not only on Krune's side. So it could be said that Krune only caught the attention of those close to him.
Colen, Gomat, and Nala made a mental note not to provoke Krune without reason. Of course, they are very confident in their abilities and aren't afraid of Krune at all. If anything, they are confident that they can win. But they also admitted that he is powerful, so there was no need to look for a fight with nothing to gain from it.
This isn't related only to Krune. Nala, Gomat, and Colen also have no intention of challenging each other, either. At least, not until they find a reason for it. This is just the first test, after all.
Everyone then spread in several directions. It is evident that this illusory realm is enormous, so they would need to find the next level doors as soon as possible. They still remember Tiago saying that there is a time limit for everyone to stay on each floor. Considering that there are one hundred levels and one month to conclude the test, each floor would probably have around seven hours to be passed. Of course, they can't exclude the possibility of the time limit being different for each level.
Lofa, Arlan, and Tasier couldn't help but look at Krune, the wisp. But Krune himself hadn't said anything yet, so they decided to wait. Once Krune thinks that is a good time, he will naturally speak about the fact that he is a wisp with them.
Krune's group had a big advantage in this realm, though. It can reproduce one's ability perfect, so his heaven-defying Divine Sense was still there for him to use. It didn't take long for Krune to spot a door.
There was one thing that was puzzling Krune, though. He can understand why Lofa, Arlan, Tasier, and Mina were following his group. They are friends, and Mina is Arlan's fiance. But why is the rest of the contestants of his Planet, including those Core Formation ones, following him? Krune then stopped and looked at them.
"Errr... Do you guys need something?"
He didn't come to the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam to do charity after all.
