The Moon Wolf then showed an angry expression at everyone.

"Cute."

​​

That was the word that left the Majorities mouths. Even Ao, Arlan, and Yusa were no exception. But they didn't have time to pay attention to the Moon Wolf since the battle in their slots was still ongoing. Yusa had even almost got hit because of that just now. Of course, the only one with enough time to spare at that moment was Joty, whose no one wanted to challenge.

In the end, before the 10 minutes even finished, some of the contestants had already left to find another door. The next level had just opened, they still have a high chance of finding another door free or with competition ongoing. There were only two slots free to attack, after all. One was the weird situation of Joty's slot. The other was the cute but deadly Moon Wolf with Tribulation Lightning. Neither slot looks like a good choice for the remaining contestants.

When the time was over, Ao's group was finally teleported to the 98th floor, where they took their time to recover from the previous battle. Around a minute later, the Moon Wolf appeared there as well. She looked at Ao's group and was just about to leave when suddenly, she stopped and looked at Ao.

For some reason, Ao felt a little embarrassed to have that cute Moon Wolf looking straight at him. The wolf then approached him carefully, which put Arlan, Yusa, and Joty on guard. That girl is very strong, and they know better than most how powerful Tribulation Lightning is.

She then said with her Divine Sense.

"I can feel a little bit of Tribulation Lightning power in you."

Ao finally understood why she stayed.

"Oh, that's because a friend of mine who also uses Tribulation Lightning."

It wasn't any big secret to start with, Krune had already shown his Tribulation Lightning quite a few times too, so Ao didn't mind saying that.

The Moon Wolf nodded, although she could feel the Tribulation Lightning power on Ao, it was very weak. Knowing that it is a friend who he spends a lot of time with made sense now.

"Where is this friend of yours? Is he someone from the Divine Path Sect already? Well, that probably is the case anyway."

Ao shook his head.

"He is in this exam with us, but I don't know where he went, just that he definitely is inside this 98th floor too."

Arlan, Yusa, and Joty nodded. They don't believe that Krune would fail, which means that he must be inside the 98th floor too.

The Moon Wolf also nodded and said.

"I see, as expected of top-ranked planets, you have a lot of strong contestants. I saw your battle in the slots before, it was obvious that you could have defeated your opponents if you wanted, but you just staled for time. Which Planet are you from, it's probably inside the top 100 like mine, right?"

Ao's group felt like a few swords passed through their hearts. Top 100? Makui's position is so low that it doesn't even have a position in the rank, let alone the top 100.

The Moon Wolf noticed that she stepped on a landmine.

"Errr... It's okay if it isn't top 100, the top 1000 is also very good. With contestants like you, it's position will definitely increase in the future."

Ao and the others' expressions turned even gloomier now! That made the Moon Wolf feel helpless already.

"I'm joking! Joking! Top 10000! The top 10000 is good too!"

Ao's group finally fell in despair, they didn't want to hear anymore. Before the Moon Wolf could hurt his group even further, Ao decided to confess first.

"Our Planet isn't ranked. It's so weak that a position hasn't been given to it. So you can stop trying to guess already."

It is one thing for others to know that you came from a weak planet, you can already guess their thoughts. But being mistaken for a strong one when you aren't, hurts a lot more.

The Moon Wolf was really taken aback now. Since when unraked planets are giving birth to so many geniuses like those four. Of course, she still has the impression that Joty is someone even more incredible when, in fact, it is already a miracle for someone with his strength to be here.

The Moon Wolf then approached Ao and started sniffing him, which made Ao feel a little helpless. He couldn't help but comment.

"This is a test where everyone is at each other's necks, you know? Aren't you afraid that I would use this chance to cut you down? Although you can use Tribulation Lightning, I'm still very confident in taking you head-on."

Ao wasn't lying. How many times has he practiced with Krune? Few have a better grasp of how to confront a Tribulation Lightning user as he has. But the Moon Wolf just said.

"You don't smell like someone who would do that. You have a very nice smell, those who smell like this aren't the evil type. So I'm not afraid. In fact, your smell is the most pleasing one I have ever felt! I wonder why that is."

Ao felt embarrassed again, she hit right at his weak spot. She was right, as long as the others don't have malice, he really wouldn't do anything to them for his own benefit. Ao then looked at the Moon Wolf and asked.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Only now did the Moon Wolf noticed that she hasn't told them her name.

"Oh! My name is Ula, and I am a Moon Wolf. I came as part of the Fajin Planet, which is ranked 77th in the Divine Path Sect territory."

Ao and the others got puzzled. Not about the Planet she came from, but from her race instead. In their eyes, it was evident that Ula was from a top-ranked Planet to start with. They had noticed that even before she commented about her Planet. Joty then couldn't help but ask.

"Moon Wolf? Not a Snow Wolf?"

Ao, Yusa, and Arlan were also curious about this.

But Ula got angry at that remark.

"Snow Wolf, your head! How can such a weak species of a wolf be mentioned on the same side as the Moon Wolves? Our bloodline difference is enormous! A Snow Wolf can already take the human form in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment. However, Moon Wolves can only achieve that in the Core Formation Realm! Only after I got to the 3rd Stage of the Core Formation did I get my human form too!"

Ao and the others were taken aback.

"You are already a 3rd Stage Core Formation Realm?"

The Moon Wolf put a smug face and said.

"Wrong! I'm at the 4th stage, and I am a very talented Moon Wolf too. Usually, Moon Wolves can already take their human form at the 1st stage, or at most the 2nd. But I could only do that in the 3rd one. That shows how pure my Moon Wolf bloodline is."

For Ao and everyone else, they simply couldn't see the difference between an ordinary Snow Demon Wolf and a Moon Demon Wolf. But Ula seemed to care a lot, so they didn't talk about it anymore. Not to mention that she is powerful, there is no point in pissing off someone like that when they aren't even fighting for a slot.

Yusa then thought about something.

"You said that Ao doesn't smell like someone bad, so how do I smell?"

Ula looked at Yusa and said.

"Shameless."

"Pfff... Hahahahaha!"

Arlan and Ao couldn't hold back after that and burst in laughter. Ao then looked at Ula and said.

"You couldn't have been more correct!"

Arlan didn't let it go either.

"I'm awed by the powerful sense of smell of the Moon Wolves, it's so precise!"

Joty didn't laugh since he hasn't been with Ao and the others for long, so he doesn't know Yusa well. As for Yusa...

"Hmph! So what? Shameless people live longer!"

She then ignored those two and focused back on healing again.

Ula had a very prideful expression now that they understood that her sense of smell is the real deal. She then asked Ao and the others.

"Can you tell me your names too?"

Ao finally noticed that he also forgot to introduce himself.

"Oh! I'm Ao Sulian. Those three are Arlan, Yusa, and Joty."

Ao had a good impression of the Moon Wolf. Although she crippled the guy fighting for the slot before, she didn't kill him. Ao is pretty confident is his character reading and couldn't feel real malice from Ula.

Ao and the others spent some time healing and recovering their strength before departing. During this time, Ula kept talking with Ao as if they were not in the middle of a deadly test. When the time to leave came, Ao and the others got up and bid Ula farewell. But before they could leave, Ula grabbed the corner of Ao's robe with her mouth.

"Errr... is there still something else?"

Ula then said.

"I go with you too."

Ao and the others got puzzled.

"Why?"

Ula looked at Ao and said.

"Because your smell is good."

"Pfff... Hahahahaha!"

This time, it was Yusa who laughed out loud, Arlan of course, didn't forgive it either and laughed too.

Ao couldn't help but exclaim.

"I'm not food!"

Ula noticed that she had expressed herself wrongly and immediately shook her head vigorously!

"No! That's not it! What I meant is that I like your smell, but not because I think about you like food! Not at all!"

Ao the others now got puzzled, is such a reason really enough to follow someone you just met? Does it even make sense?

Ula definitely didn't need their help, that's for sure. In fact, her chances of passing this test alone are definitely higher than anyone in Ao's group. Only during the first 80 floors or so a group would be a better choice. It was then that Ao thought about something else.

"What happened with your Planet's group?"

Ula heard that and immediately got angry.

"Hmph! Who cares about them?"

The answer was short, but the meaning was very obvious and easy to imagine. Ula is both a genius and a Tribulation Lightning user on top of that. It is easy to imagine that the contestants of her Planet didn't want to stay with her since it would reduce their own chances of acquiring slots. Who would want to challenge this monster for a slot?

Ao's group was indeed correct. When the test started, Fajin Planet's group relied on their group power to get away from the crowd. But as soon as they got to a safe place, they separated into three different groups. It is just that Ula was totally left out of those groups. In the end, they just said that she didn't need their help and left Ula behind.

But as shown in the past, during the first 80 or so floors, it was a lot easier to move ahead as a group than alone. Still, Ula got to this place where she can finally shine alone. But before that, even with her Tribulation Lightning, she still got into several dangerous situations that could be avoided if one was in a group.

It was at this moment that Ao, Arlan, and Yusa thought about something. That's what makes Krune so special. They have never felt like they wanted to separate from him. They only separated in the end because there weren't enough slots, and the one who left to look for a new one wasn't them, but Krune instead.

Not to mention that Krune went together with Shinja, Tasier, and Lofa. He didn't cast anyone aside, just agreed that that was the best way for all of them to pass the test. If anything, Ao, Yusa, and Arlan would definitely prefer to stay with him, not get rid of him like Ula's companions did. Krune truly wished for everyone he's close with to join the sect with him.

Ao then looked at Yusa and Arlan, and it was evident that they were thinking about the same thing. Suddenly, the three of them started to laugh. Ao then commented.

"It's all that idiot's fault!"

Yusa and Arlan nodded. They know that Ao is talking about their soft-heartedness. Arlan then commented.

"Isn't that good?"

Ao and Yusa nodded, and the three of them didn't say anything else. Both Ula and Joty were puzzled by their behavior, though. Just what are they talking about? Ao then looked at Ula and said.

"Alright, let's go then."

Ula immediately showed a smile that was very cute in her wolf form. After that, they left.
