BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243 There is a Way!
Palo nodded and reminded Amark.
"Yes, he is the one that your son tried to steal away."
Amark\'s expression got a little gloomy for a second, but he soon concealed it.
"Oh, that one. Anyway, why are you even calling me then? Just wait for this competition to finish and immediately recruit him. With his talent, he is more than worth grooming up."
Palo scratched the back on his head as if he was in a tight spot and then said.
"There is a small problem here. Krune is a demon beast."
Amark got puzzled after hearing it.
"What is the problem? Sure, we have a lesser number of demon beasts than humans, but that has never been a problem."
Palo sighed and then continued.
"He is a wisp."
Amark\'s expression finally changed when he heard that.
"Come that again."
"A wisp, Krune is a wisp! He is as much a wisp as any other wisp you have seen before. A wisp!"
Palo knew that it was hard to believe, so he made sure to make it clear.
Amark then sat down on his chair and crossed his arms. Palo could see that Amark had fallen deep in thought. Sometime later, Amark finally replied.
"That\'s complicated. Even with such a heaven-defying talent to the point of understanding a law at the Core Formation Realm, his life span is just..."
Palo nodded.
"That\'s why I called you directly. Otherwise, I would have already prepared to recruit Krune straight away. In fact, I had told him yesterday that we wouldn\'t be able to take him in exactly because of this issue. Of course, yesterday, he hadn\'t understood a Law yet."
Amark didn\'t think Palo was wrong. They are not rich to the point where they can simply invest in every single alchemist in their Solar System. Amark kept thinking for some time and then said.
"Let\'s do like this, just recruit him in name. He will have access to the facilities, information, better jobs, and other things from the headquarters. But he won\'t receive any cultivation of alchemy training resources. If he is okay with it, then we welcome him in. If his level keeps increasing at this pace, we can use him in the next Galaxy Competition."
Palo nodded. He, too, was thinking about the same thing. In the past, Rico Guli had participated in that. Not to mention that he did quite well by finishing in the top 1000. But ever since, their Solar System didn\'t have another Alchemist capable of repeating his feat. Even if Krune\'s life span is small, considering that he is still 12 years old, he still has more than enough time to participate. In fact, he might be able to attend twice! Or so Palo and Amark hoped.
"Very well, considering that he will still gain a bunch of advantages, I don\'t think he will refuse it anyway."
While Amark and Palo were discussing, Krune and Light Spirit were doing the same thing.
"Is there no way to clear the view of the Laws so that I can see others?"
Light Spirit confirmed.
"There is, you need time. Because this is a new Law, your mind is overwhelmed by it. Once it gets used to the Law of Burning, it will start to perceive the other Fire Laws more clearly. Of course, it will never be like the first time when everything was clear. The more Fire Laws you understand, the more space they will take in your World of Laws."
Krune let out a sigh of relief. The way that the Fire Laws are at the moment, Krune wasn\'t the least bit confident of being able to grasp them anytime soon.
Light Spirit then added.
"The best way to make your mind used to it is obviously by fully understand the Law you are practicing at the moment. Otherwise, it will take even longer for the \'view\' to clear. Of course, you can also decide to put the Fire Laws aside and start to practice another element instead."
Krune nodded.
"I have never focused on a single element before, so I will try to see if I can get other Elemental Laws at work too."
Light Spirit agreed with that.
"That is good too, your whole combat power has a base on the Tribulation Lightning being used with all the other elements. For others, it might be a fool\'s idea to focus on more than one or two elements at the same time. But for you, it will probably be the best course of action. Especially after I saw how clear your World of Laws is."
He continued.
"There is another thing that you need to understand. Once you understand all Laws of a single element, you will need to fuse them together. For example, once you get the Fire Laws fused, you will have understood one Major Law. I think it goes without saying that every element is a Major Law as well, right?"
Krune then asked.
"What changes when you understand a Major Law?"
Light Spirit then added.
"Well, there is no need to say that the help in your combat prowess is enormous. A cultivator with a Major Law and one without are in two completely different leagues. Even if they have the same cultivation level, the one with a Major Laws can completely crush the other without it. Unless some unexpected event happens, the later can only flee, that\'s all."
Krune was already expecting that much.
Light Spirit then said another thing.
"It is still way too early for you, but I might as well tell you this. To enter the Divine Path Realm, you will need to understand at least one Major Law. As for the specifics, you will understand when the time comes."
Krune nodded.
"Okay, is there anything else that I should pay attention to?"
Light Spirit pondered a bit.
"Not that I can remember now. But as you know, I have been away for way too long, so some things might have changed. Still, you can simply ask others in that realm later."
Krune agreed with Light Spirit and then decided to go back to the World of Laws. As for the Alchemist Competition, Krune had already forgotten about it.
Once there, Krune could see the Burning Law cleary. In contrast, any other Fire related Law kept appearing and disappearing between the gaps. Krune took a deep breath and started to understand the Burning Law.
\'The earlier I fully understand it, the faster I can start the next.\'
Krune spent an hour inside, but not much progress could be seen.
\'Light Spirit was right, it won\'t be something that I can fully grasp anytime soon.\'
While Krune kept understanding the Burning Law, the Alchemist Competition continued. Kaio noticed that Krune had stopped to pay attention to him and seemed to be in a trance. Still, he soon ignored it and went back to his pill concoction. Finally, he had finished the very first one.
"Great! It went way better than I expected. I will try to concoct another two different ones before the time is over, but I will probably use this in the end."
He put the pill inside a bottle and then turned to the display to select the next herbs for the concoction.
Xaia and Irken were just like Kaio and finished their first pill almost at the same time. The Silver Stars Alchemists around them looked at those pills at the Golden Star Level and felt quite jealous too. After all, only when you understand a Law, you will be able to bring the pill to that level.
Krune was still in the World of Laws after six hours of competition. By this time, he finally had an idea of how to proceed with his learning.
\'Sigh... Just to catch the tail of the matter took me all this time, and that is when the Burning Law is as apparent as it is. This is definitely going to take very long, let alone the other ones that won\'t be this clear after I finish the Burning Law.\'
Krune looked at those small gaps when the other Laws appeared for an instant and disappeared. It was then that he had an idea.
\'Even though the other Laws appeared for a tiny amount of time, it\'s not like they are not here, right? If I try to understand one Law each time, it will take forever for me to reach the Divine Path Realm. I really might run out of life span by then. But what if I try to grab those openings to understand the other Fire Laws while I\'m learning the Burning Law?\'
If anyone heard Krune\'s thoughts, they would think that he is crazy! It is already that hard to understand the Law that is occupying the entire World, let alone try to grasp the Laws in those openings!
Of course, Krune cared little for what others might think about it.
Krune tried this method for another hour but then shook his head.
\'That isn\'t working. To understand the little bit possible of those laws, I need to stop paying attention to the Burning Law. This way, I will end up not understanding anything at all.\'
But it was at this moment that Krune remembered something.
\'Wait! There is a way!\'
