Shinja looked at Krune and asked.
"How do you think he separated the Hydrogen?"
Krune pondered a bit and said.
"The blue flames will be impossible since you don't use the fire element. But simply put, you can use Lightning Element and Salty Water to get the Hydrogen through electrolysis. Of course, you don't have the time to do such a thing in battle, not to mention that it takes too long to get enough to create any blue flame. It is far from being worthy either. There is even the part of the salt as well, will you carry salt in your spatial ring just for it? I doubt so!"
Lofa is also a Water Element user, so she asked too.
"Then how did he get so much of it to use?"
Krune was also curious about this issue.
"I know, right?! If I'm not wrong, the trick is in the Spiritual Energy. Spiritual Energy follows a different principle of any other type of common energy. It is what allows us, cultivators and demon beasts, to display such an amazing combat power. He probably found a way to use Spiritual Energy, Water Element, and Lightning Element to separate the water into Hydrogen and Oxygen for his own use in real-time."
Shinja and Lofa nodded. Krune then said.
"What is even more frightening is that he also gets Oxygen from this process. As a Fire and Wind Element user, the power of his blue flames gets even higher."
Shinja then noticed something.
"Wait, doesn't it means that Gomat can use Four Elements at the same time?"
Krune nodded.
"Of course! Did you think that just because I have the Elemental Core, I am the only one in the universe capable of using more than three elements at the same time while in the Foundation Establishment? That way of thinking is too naive! I have long since expected that such a thing was possible, and today I have witnessed it. I believe it's safe to say that Gomat isn't the only one either. Of course, his Wind and Water Elements aren't as good as mine. But his Fire Element is frightening! I'm far from being his match on that. As for the Lightning Element, it can also be considered a Yang Element of sorts, so his control over it is definitely higher than your Water Element even if you have your Pure Yin Body."
Krune then said.
"Anyway, I don't think it is hard to achieve what he did with the blue flames, we just don't know it yet. Let's try to find the next door while I try to figure it out. This is a new way of using a fire element that I very much wish to try."
Lofa then asked something else.
"What about your shields? I saw five of them shattering."
Krune heard that and only sighed.
"I can still fix the ones that aren't totally broken, but the shattered ones are gone. Of course, this is an illusion realm, so my real shields are fine outside. Still, it is obvious the difference in equipment between our Makui Planet and the top-ranked ones. Gomat's wings equipment had nothing more than a few cracks on it. Anyway, I can care about that later."
Everyone finished recovering their energy and were about to depart. But It was at that moment that the so long silent Thunder Hawk Tasier spoke.
"You said that for you to achieve the Hydrogen and Oxygen separation, there is a need to use Spiritual Energy, Water Element, and Lightning Element. Instead of trying to use Lightning Element, change it to Tribulation Lightning. I believe that the result will be very interesting."
Krune looked at Tasier and nodded.
"Indeed, that's a very good idea."
Light Spirit had been silent ever since the first test started, but when he heard Tasier's words, he remembered something that happened in the past.
'Those flames again... How many had managed to bring them to life?'
But he didn't tell Krune anything. Light Spirit wanted to see what Krune could learn by himself.
On Ao's group side, the 95th floor went without problems. Joty did not avoid confronting this time. But he was still the first one to get a slot to defend. His opponent was definitely a lot stronger than him, though. Fortunately, after Joty entered the slot, his opponent had to fight another cultivator to get the attacker position.
It turned out that Joty's opponent received a severe injury in a hasty attempt to enter Joty's slots, which affected his combat power tremendously! In the end, Joty's opponent couldn't fight well, and Joty, who was much weaker, had barely held his position until the end of the 10 minutes countdown.
When Ao's group appeared inside the 96th floor, they could see that Joty was full of injuries. Even though his opponent couldn't fight with the best of his abilities, it still wasn't someone that Joty could win against. If not for the 10 minutes rule, Joty would definitely have lost for sure. Ao noticed that Joty didn't use any healing pills this time and said.
"Take this healing pill, it was Krune who made it."
Joty accepted and thanked Ao. He then took the pill and started to recover from his injuries. Of course, Ao, Arlan, and Yusa got quite a few injuries already too. After all, the level of the contestants had increased several times compared with the start of the test. But it wasn't anything as serious as Joty.
The three of them were looking at Joty with puzzled faces. Once again, something had happened, which allowed Joty to pass into the next floor. Joty noticed their eyes and sighed.
"Don't look at me like that, I also don't know what is happening here. I'm starting to feel that I probably saved the whole universe in my previous life. Even I can't believe how my luck had been this heaven-defying until now."
Joty then looked at Arlan and said.
"Arlan can confirm that too, we have known each other for some time already from the Divine Swords Sect. He can confirm that my luck was just like anyone else and that I reached my place with my own strength."
Arlan was indeed impressed with Joty's luck. But after hearing what Joty said, he had to admit that Joty was right.
"Although I can't say that I totally believe him, I don't think he is lying either. Joty had been a member of the Divine Swords Sect for some time already, just like me. However, I've never heard anything about Joty being someone lucky. Of course, he wasn't unlucky either, just normal."
Yusa couldn't help but comment.
"Could it be that it was all coincidence? What are the chances of someone's luck to be this high at a specific time?"
Ao then asked.
"Have you gone through any surprising or peculiar experience before the test started?"
Joty understood what Ao meant and started to ponder if anything had happened before the test started. It was then that he recalled something.
"I wouldn't say surprising, but it was indeed peculiar. The night before the first test started, I was cultivating as I always do. But at some point, I felt like the Spiritual Energy around had gone through some kind of change. It only lasted a second, but I was absorbing Spiritual Energy at that point. I immediately stopped and checked the Spiritual Energy around me. However, everything was back to normal by the time I paid attention to it."
The more Joty thought, the weirder it looked.
"At first, I thought that it had something to do with the Divine Path Sect planet, so I ignored and continued to cultivate. I asked Levi and Kariu the next morning if they had noticed something, but they said that they didn't feel anything. In the end, since everything looked normal, I stopped paying attention to it."
Ao, Arlan, and Yusa also thought it to be strange. First of all, was that really the source of his luck? Second, it might have been just coincidence to start with. Third, if Joty's experience that night was really the reason, then why Joty? He came from the Makui Planet, a place which the majority of the cultivators and demon beasts in the universe had never heard about. Yusa then looked at him and laughed.
"You are not some kind of descendant of some might being, are you?"
Joty and the other two also laughed at that.
"I don't know my family to the point where I can tell the names of those more than 4 or 5 generations behind me. But, I'm sure that my grandfathers and grandmothers were pretty common. At this point, I look very much like Arlan. Although I won't say that my family was as poor as his, they definitely weren't anything grand either. I was also the first one to have achieved the Foundation Establishment in my family as far as I can remember who my ancestors were."
Arlan then said.
"Jokes apart, this is a good thing, not to mention that it might really have been just luck and nothing more. Let's keep going to find the 97th-floor door."
Everyone nodded, and they left. Ao's group took quite some time to find another door, and the one they found had quite a few contestants already. Counting with Ao and the others, there were 19 contestants and only 5 slots. That was to be expected, this is already the 96th floor, it would be weird if there was still a lot of slots in every door.
Let alone Joty, even Ao, Arlan, and Yusa had serious expressions. There were too many cultivators and demon beasts. Not to mention that the door hasn't activated yet, so there is still a big chance that more cultivators and demon beasts will appear.
Arlan then joked.
"Maybe Joty used his luck so much that it got empty, and now he will even have to fight a Major Core Owner."
It was at that moment that the contestants felt like the space around them was acting strange. Soon, Ao and the others noticed another group entering their Divine Sense range. The closer that group got, the weirder it felt. It didn't take long for everyone to see that group of four arriving. Ao, Yusa, and Joty saw who the leader was. They then turned their heads to Arlan and looked at him as if he was the culprit. It turns out that Colen's group was the newcomers!
Arlan started to sweat all over when they looked at him.
"Coincidence! It was a coincidence! I swear!"
