Is that a Wisp?

"Dumb bro, what should we do?" A certain someone asked.

"Dumb sis, just remain in hiding. Let these crazy jackals hunt each other," a certain someone replied.

"But dumb bro, when will we make a move?" A certain someone that spoke first asked.

"True dumb sis, we'll only move to grab hold of the winning prize. A true warrior wins a battle without budging his ass." A certain someone that spoke second replied with pride.

"As expected of the second smartest wisp." A certain someone that spoke first said in praise.

"Then, who's the smartest?"

"Me, of course."

They were the two wisps, Kulla and Kuttul, that had been in hiding from the start. They were casually touring through the arena while remaining in hiding using their Mental Energy barriers. As they were only moving with their cores, it was hard for any attacks to hit such tiny, nimble targets that slipped through any gaps they could find.

And for some reason, they always passed between the legs of battling cultivators, obviously treating such dangerous locations as if it was a serene walk in the park.

Whenever someone strong appeared, they evaded the place and toured somewhere else. Slowly, as they were observing the state of the battlefield, they had entered a roleplay, courtesy of what Krune and Sterlena did on a daily basis.

After all, there wasn't much that they could worry about in this case. After all, they cultivated Krune's Deific Wisp Technique.

Which meant that all the energy in their body had been converted into Mental Energy now. And since wisps were just energy beings in nature, their current figures were just a condensation of Mental Energy.

Their Wisp Cores were just Mental Energy that was solidified. This was the prime reason why their stealth wasn't seen through by others until now.

For others, even if they enveloped themselves using a Mental Energy barrier, there was still Godly Energy and Body Energy circulating within their bodies. It was not to mention their fleshly bodies. They would all be registered in detection techniques like massive alarms.

Covering them all through a Mental Energy barrier was hard, especially since they would be expending through Mental Energy in droves in accordance with the strength of the detection technique probing them.

So, they would eventually run out of Mental Energy to use as their Mental Energy barrier would come undone. But for the two Wisps, this wasn't of concern.

All the energy in their body was now Mental Energy, not to mention their special racial trait, which caused other detection means to just register their bodies as stray Mental Energy. In this situation where countless Mental Energy Scans were flashing about, none would notice them.

Hence, Kulla and Kuttul weren't even expending much Mental Energy to remain hidden. From time to time, they approached the edge of the arena and absorbed some of the ambient Godly Energy there, recovering a bit of their expended reserves.

'Where are they?' Relena continued to search for the two wisps, still unable to find them. he had already made a few rounds through the arena but still failed to detect them. 'As expected, they are experts in hiding…'

Relena immediately closed his eyes, using his authority over Godly Energy to sense through Godly Energy itself without using any detection means, seeing the flow of Godly Energy in his surroundings, slowly observing every cultivator that was absorbing the ambient Godly energy to recover.

Suddenly, he noticed that in one vacant corner, nearby an injured cultivator, there was a mild disturbance in Godly Energy. Only a small fraction of the ambient Godly Energy was absorbed. It was to such an extent that even the one closest to it, the injured cultivator, failed to detect him.

"There you are!" Relena grinned as he suddenly exploded with enough Godly Energy that he alarmed everyone fighting in the arena, directly shooting towards the vacant corner, startling the injured cultivator that had been trying to heal himself there.

"You won't escape!" Relena shouted upon noticing a minor disturbance in Godly Energy, clenching his hand as he unleashed an ability.

The Godly Energy in the designated area instantly morphed to resemble a spatial cage, locking the place, preventing those trapped within from escaping by teleportation.

He arrived before the cage, still frowning as he was unable to notice anything within. "Still trying to hide?"

Grinning, Relena flashed within the cage, unleashing his Mental Energy to the limit, "I'll break your Mental Energy barriers soon enough. Let me see how long you can last. I can easily recover my Godly Energy reserves."

As he expected, a couple of minutes later, two figures indeed appeared before Relena. They were on the floor, tiny. But when they appeared, Relena's face turned pale in fear. "Oh shit!"

After all, they weren't the Wisp Cores that he hoped to catch, but two slabs, the ability of Zombie Food, Hunger Wave.

Cough! Cough!

Relena hurriedly vacated the place, rushing towards the opposite corner of the arena, mowing through everyone in his way, showing the extent of his body cultivation as he hurriedly unleashed all his abilities, trying to keep himself under control.

He instantly caused the Godly Energy in the surroundings to swerve into him, rapidly circulating it in his meridians while activating his Mental Energy, seeping it into his mind to quickly negate any feelings of hunger he faced.

Thankfully, he had only inhaled them for a short duration, rapidly able to recover himself before cursing in anger, "Damn it, I fell prey to them."

Even though he was cursing, Relena was actually excited, feeling that the wisps were finally serious, in hiding, of course. But no matter, since they were serious in hiding, he would try his best to locate them.

He had just thought as such when a layer of frost began to form on his body, rapidly slowing down his movements, not to mention the flow of his Godly Energy.

A figure rushed at him, swiping a palm at his neck, treating it like a blade.

Relena unleashed a burst of Godly Energy throughout his meridians, using the force to break the frost as he barely evaded the attack, leaping backward as he noticed blood dripping from his neck, surprised.

This was the first time he was injured.
