Krune and his group were watching the others' battles when Tasier and Lofa arrived. Lofa then came forward to talk with them.

"Since the five of us passed the Martial Gathering and are from the Mercenary Guilds Alliance as well, I brought Tasier over. I hope you guys don't mind."

She said that while avoiding making eye contact with Krune, Tasier then came forward.

"I also like this idea, we can talk with the Mercenary Guilds Later about this Gathering. I'm sure they will go crazy."

Arlan was an easy going guy, so he immediately accepted him.

"That's great! But I didn't think you were the type to join groups, Tasier."

Ao and Krune also nodded, but they didn't mind it either. Tasier heard that and explained.

"That's where you are wrong, Thunder Hawks are quite a sociable race. It's just that I'm the only Thunder Hawk around here now."

Krune and the other didn't really have a reason not to believe that, so they welcomed Tasier. Lofa then noticed that Tasier was looking at her, and the meaning was obvious. She then took a deep breath and approached Krune.

"Krune, can I ask you something?"

Krune nodded without much care.

"As long as it isn't dangerous."

Lofa shook her head.

"It has nothing to do with being dangerous or not."

"Then it shouldn't be a problem. What's it?"

Lofa seemed very embarrassed but still asked.

"You see, Tasier and I aren't as good controlling elements like you and your friends. Can you give us a few pointers again?"

Krune just laughed after that question.

"Of course, if it is something that simple, I don't even need to be the one for that."

He looked at Shinja, who was talking with Yusa and Tasier and called her over.

"Shinja, Lofa is an Ice and Water elements cultivator like you. Your Ice and Water Elements control is more or less at the same level as mine too. But as a woman, it should be much easier for you to guide her in some specific parts. Would mind giving her some pointers? We are all part of the Mercenary Guild Alliance after all."

Shinja immediately nodded, other than reinforcing her cultivation after the last breakthrough, she hasn't been doing much recently.

"Sure, I will call Yusa over as well. She has been focusing on cultivation a lot recently. I could use this chance to have her relax a bit."

Krune nodded and then said.

"As for Tasier, he is a Thunder, Wind, and Metal elements cultivator. Ao uses Metal and Wind while Arlan uses Thunder and Wind. I can use this chance to check their overall ability."

Lofa heard all of that and immediately thanked him. But deep down, she was disappointed. But she couldn't refuse Krune's logic. It made sense that a woman would be better to teach another one when the teachers were at the same level of a particular element control.

Tasier was still talking with the others when Krune came over to tell him the news. He immediately got overjoyed with that and wanted to start straight away. But Arlan, Ao, and Krune shook their heads. They wanted to watch the battles on going a little more, so Tasier could only wait for now. As for Lofa's situation? Tasier had already forgotten about that a long time ago.

Yusa and Shinja, on the other hand, decided to leave with Lofa early.

"Come on, I will take a look at your abilities. Krune's teaching is excellent, but there are really a few things that just another woman will be able to help you with."

Yusa nodded and said.

"She is right, Krune and Shinja had always been more or less at the same level when we talk about Water and Ice control. Although he shared a lot of new ideas with both of us, Shinja was still able to bring forward some issues to me that only she could understand. As you know, men's and women's constitutions are different, and that has some impact on the way we control the same elements."

Of course, they wouldn't tell her about the Myriad Energies Technique or the Soul Cultivation techniques of the Rainbow Sect. But even so, there is still a lot that can be taught without any of those. And Krune was right, they are all part of the Mercenary Guild Alliance and were participating in the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam. But above all, Lofa is a woman too. There are already few women to start with, so Shinja and Yusa really wanted to help her.

Lofa looked at how easy going Krune's group is and couldn't help but ask.

"Have you guys always been like that? Accepting anyone who gets close to you?"

Yusa and Shinja were taken aback with that question. Now that Lofa brought up this issue, they couldn't help but agree that it seemed odd for them to act like that. Yusa pondered a bit and then started to laugh.

"I guess that you can call it Krune's infection."

Shinja laughed at that 'illness' name and nodded.

"That's a very fitting name, especially for me."

Leaving Krune aside, Shinja and Yusa immediately dragged Lofa outside. Shinja then asked her to show some skills and started to teach her what she knew.

Later on, the battles for the day were finally over. So Krune and the others came outside and could see Shinja together with Yusa and Lofa. He went to another corner and asked Tasier to show some of his skills. Just as Tasier started to channel Lightning Element to use one, Krune already stopped him.

"Wrong! Why are you using only your innate ability to channel Lightning Element? What about the Lightning Element in the surroundings? No wonder you need so much space every time you initiate an attack, it takes too long to prepare a skill."

Tasier immediately got confused.

"But I've always done like this. When I try to use outside energy, it is much slower."

Krune shook his head.

"Then you are doing it wrong, as a Lightning Element demon beast, your control over the Lightning Element is higher by default. Let me see you using external Lightning Element."

Tasier did as told and started to channel outside Lightning Element. Krune looked at that and immediately understood the issue.

"It's just incompatibility between your internal Lightning Energy and the outside Lightning Element. As long as you make them compatible with each other, you should have no problem in using both at the same time."

Tasier got confused, he had no idea how to do that. Krune then took his time explaining what he knew. After leaving Tasier to practice the things he told him, Krune then went to check on Ao and Arlan. Ao had the Spiritual Energy Meridians, so there wasn't much for Krune to help with. The rest mostly depended on his comprehension ability.

As for Arlan, he didn't have it, so his control of the other two elements was a lot worse than his Fire one. He pondered a bit if he should pass the Myriad Energy Techniques to Arlan as well. So far, he didn't seem like a bad person. As long as he had the technique, Arlan's fire control should reach a level close to his since he also has a Pure Yang Body.

Krune then sent a Divine Sense message to Ao and asked his opinion.

"I don't think Arlan would do anything wrong to us, and I believe that he already noticed that we all have something different. But he never asked what it was. He is the type who respects the other's secrets."

Krune nodded and then talked with him.

"As you probably know, my friends and I have some ways of improving our elements control even further. I don't mind telling you this, but I will need you to sign a blood contract not to divulge it outside without permission."

Arlan was taken aback with that sudden message. He then pondered a bit and then nodded. If it is just to not tell others about it, then he didn't mind. After signing it, Krune started to explain the situation.

"What do you know about the Myriad Energies Technique?"

Arlan was surprised and answered Krune's question with a question of his own.

"How did you know that I cultivated it in the past?"

This time, the one surprised was Krune.

"You did? I didn't know that at all! But that's great, how many pseudo energy meridians did you create?"

Arlan thought that Krune had looked on his background and found out that he had used that technique before. But it seems like that it was nothing more than coincidence. Still, why would he ask about such a basic technique ao of a sudden? Nonetheless, he replied about Krune's question.

"I opened seven before. You must understand that I came from an impoverished family, so this was the only technique I could afford during that time. That's why I still cultivated it up to the seventh pseudo meridian."

Ao heard that and was impressed.

"And you got this strong so fast?"

Arlan shook his head.

"It is basically the side effect of my Pure Yang Body. It helped me comprehend fire element techniques easier. With that, I took even harder missions in the Mercenary Guild and slowly got to where I am now. I can't even count the number of Life and Death situation I went through."

Krune nodded after hearing that.

"Anyway. The secret behind our much better control over the elements is in the Myriad Energies Technique itself. It goes like this."

Krune then explained how he found out about the technique's true form and the experiences he had in the past. Arlan, obviously, didn't believe at first. But the more Krune explained, the more plausible it seemed. He then looked at Ao, who also confirmed that it is true.

"You still have around five months before the Divine Path Entrance Exam. Considering that you already have seven pseudo meridians, it should be more than enough time for you to finish the other two."

Arlan nodded and decided to give it a try. The main reason being that he is already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Other than the Elements control that Krune was helping him with. He really didn't have much to improve on any other side.

"Very well, I will give it a try."
