Is That A Wisp?

Wamie might be one Stage higher than Krune, but that didn't bother him at all. Krune had way too many advantages at the moment. He got his Chaos Meridians and had been expanding his Universe Foundation ever since. He can now use 200% of the Purple Tribulation Lightning output without suffering any backlash. Light Spirit's Tribulation Source is a lot bigger than before, making the Tribulation Lighting recharging rate more than double the previous speed.

As for Laws, this one year and two months were enough for him to reach the Intermediate Stage of the Charged Lightning Energy Sub-Law. This is the second Sub-Law of the Tribulation Lightning Laws. His Space Sub-laws also improved thanks to the insights that he received from Phillin back in the Elemental Path. His Contraction Sub-Law was still in the Advanced Stage, but his Displacement Sub-Law reached intermediate. Now Krune can freely teleport as long as the Space Around him isn't affected and the distance isn't too big.

Let's not forget his new Kaleu Tribulation Steel Flying Shields.

Finally, there was one more addition to Krune's arsenal. Heavin had finally become a Nine Golden Stars Puppeteer! With that, he completely reformed Feifei's Parrot Puppet. Using the best materials. Especially the parts that had to be done by a Black Smith. Krune, who was also in the Nine Golden Stars Level as Blacksmith, forged all the metallic pieces with his Purple Flames. 

Feifei's Parrot Puppet now had the power to fight an ordinary 7th to 8th Stage Soul Forging Realm cultivator or demon beast. Heavin thought for a moment to make more puppets, but he quickly gave up the idea. During the heat of battle, it is already hard to keep one's attention to control a single one, let alone more. More is not always better.

Of course, if Heavin wanted to battle, Krune wouldn't be able to take full control over his Divine Soul. Because of that, Krune wouldn't really be able to fight at full power. Still, Krune was confident enough to not need it at the moment. So Heavin's part in fight is more like a test for when he tries to move his conscience into a Puppet in the future. Both Heavin and Krune had already agreed that if the battle took a turn to worsen, Heavin would give up the control over the Divine Soul for Krune to go all out.

Krune and Wamie entered the arena. Right After, they activated the Concealing Formation.

Heavin looked at Wamie on the other side and said.

"Krune, I'll be going first. Let me try out my new upgrades."

Wamie was taken aback. She then looked at Krune with a severe expression.

"Aren't you the one controlling this Puppet? This is a one vs. one battle. Any outsider help is a breach of the rules!"

Krune and Heavin looked at each other and started to laugh.

"Don't worry. Heavin here is not outsider help, he is my Divine Soul."

Wamie felt like she heard something absurd.

"Are you making fun of me?"

Krune shook his head.

"I'm not lying or pretending. Heavin is really my Divine Soul. It is just that he gained Sentience. Still, it doesn't change the fact that he is part of my own power, so this is not against the rules. I will be using only my own strength to fight you."

Still, Krune couldn't help but think.

'Well, at least this is the case until Heavin succeeds in moving his conscience away.'

Krune then continued.

"If you don't believe, my Foundation is open for you to take a look at my Divine Soul."

Krune didn't have any issue in doing that since inside his foundation, he is god! So all that Wamie would be able to do there is take a look at his Divine Soul, and nothing more.

Because Wamie and Krune were separated by the arena's Protection Formation, there was no risk for her to take a look at Krune's Foundation with her Divine Sense. Sure enough, when she saw Krune's Divine Soul, its soul energy changed in the shape of a Parrot and greeted her back.

"Hey there, I'm Heavin, the idiot wisp's Divine Soul."

Wamie really couldn't believe that. Still, her Divine Sense proved that Krune wasn't lying. She really can feel a presence inside of Krune's Divine Soul.

"How did you do that?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

"I didn't. This guy appeared on his own. It is not like I asked for such a disrespectful Divine Soul to start with."

"Hmph!"

Krune laughed and then said.

"Anyway, this is proof that Heavin is not outsider help. He is, without a doubt, part of my own power."

Wamie started to feel like she was being baited. Still, she would not step back. She has to use this change while Krune is beneath her in cultivation. If she waits longer, he might surpass her in the future.

Krune and Wamie touched the pillar beside each entrance, and the protection formation in the middle of the arena disappeared. Heavin's colored wings suddenly started to shine with purple light, and he vanished from Krune's shoulder. Wamie couldn't help but feel surprised. Heavin's speed was just too fast!

This was one of the Parrot Puppet's abilities. It could also store Krune's Purple Tribulation Lightning energy! Heavin also made sure that the container was big enough to sustain a battle for quite some time.

However, she isn't the Life Heavenly Fragment owner for nothing. Her own combat power could jump a lot more stages than what Heavin could fight. She released her Life Domain, and immediately, her own strength soared. In fact, Wamie's Domain had another use: to affect the enemy's life energy. They would need to spend quite a lot of Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy to keep it under control. That would, in turn, reduce their overall strength.

But Heavin is a Puppet, and Puppets don't have Life Energy to start with. If Heavin's Soul was inside the Puppet, then it would be possible since a soul also needs life energy, but that is not the case at the moment.

Wamie, of course, also kept her Divine Sense at Krune on the other side. Still, Krune didn't do anything else other than changing into his Wisp Form.

It was then that she saw Heavin charging at her from the flank. But she only snorted

"Light Hack."

Light Element gathered on her side, and suddenly, it shot forward! One of the Light Element's main property is its speed. So any attacks produced with it would be extremely fast. That was also why Wamie didn't care about Heavin's speed. After all, her attacks are definitely faster than him.

In an instant, the attack was right in front of Heavin. Still, he did not try to dodge, nor did he reduce his speed. Tribulation Lightning started to gather on his wings and around him.

Suddenly, Heavin disappeared! Wamie was alarmed by that because, for a moment, she felt the presence of Space Laws! Heavin can use all Laws that Krune comprehended, so obvious, he can use the Displacement Sub-Law to teleport away.

That was not all. Because of the Tribulation Lightning around his Parrot Puppet, he completely disappeared from Wamie Zark's Divine Sense. She couldn't see where he went at all. Of course, this arena is fully closed, even Space Laws couldn't be used to pass through that protection formation. Which means that Heavin is still inside.

It was at this moment that Wamie felt danger and used her Light movement to dash away from her position. Still, it was a little too late.

"Tribulation Line Charge!"

This is a very simple skill that Heavin came up with after reforming the Parrot Puppet. It basically merged Krune's Tribulation Line with the Parrot itself. Heavin had made the Parrot's wings sturdy to the point that even a low-level Diamond Stars Weapon wouldn't be able to break them easily. By appearing at Wamie's blind spot with the speed of the Tribulation Line Skill, it gave her almost no time for reaction.

*Putch!*

Part of Wamie's shoulder was slash trough before she could flee. Still, it wasn't a severe injury. As a Light Element expert, all the light around is under her control. Even though Heavin had disappeared from her Divine Sense, it didn't mean that he wasn't there anymore. So when she felt a difference in the light coming from behind, she knew that it was the place where the Parrot appeared.

Heavin was also surprised that Wamie was able to dodge in time. He used his Tribulation Lightning reserve from the very start to make Wamie think that he was going to rely on his speed. At the critical moment, he teleported right at her back while hiding himself with a Tribulation Lightning Layer. That was supposed to be the perfect surprise attack. However, she was still able to react and even move in the right direction to avoid a severe injury.

Suddenly, Life Energy gathered on the place where Heavin attacked, and the injury on Wamie's shoulder started to heal. In just a few seconds, it was already gone.

Heavin couldn't help but praise.

"As expected of the Life Heavenly Fragment Owner, your healing abilities are no joke."

Wamie didn't feel like praising him back, though. That was because she finally understood the situation she got herself into. If Krune had used that change to attack her, she was sure that she wouldn't be able to dodge him as well. Depending on the type of attack and the injury, she might have lost right there and then. Still, the rainbow-colored wisp didn't move a single millimeter.

But the moment he decides to attack as well, she will have a hard time just to hold them back, let alone winning this fight.

Suddenly, she heard Krune's voice talking from a distance.

"Heavin, how was it?"

Heavin knew what Krune was asking about

"Pretty much as I expected. There is a lot of room for improvement in the Parrot, especially the joints and the Purple Flame Tribulation Lightning conductors. I will need you to forge a few things for me later to correct the unbalanced distribution of energy."

Krune didn't mind.

"It's okay. Since I can already produce Chaos Energy, I might go straight into Diamond Stars pieces."

Heavin shook his head, though.

"No Diamond Stars, it is already difficult to control the Puppet as a peak Golden Stars Puppeteer. If I add Diamond Stars pieces into it later, I will most likely lose the control due to the Chaos Energy inside."

Wamie heard all of that and was both angry and frightened. She was angry because they were using her as a testing subject. At the same time, she was frightened to know that Krune can already use Chaos Energy even though he isn't a Void Breaking Realm wisp.

'Besides... Since when Divine Souls started to get side jobs? This is ridiculous!'
