CHAPTER 57 - NEW MAGIC
Translated by Luxican
It had been three days already since Yun Sheng and Dong Huang Ling entered the mountain range.
Around dusk, as the sun set bit by bit, Chi Wu and the others were still waiting for the two to return.
Mu Shuiyue was pacing around the same place anxiously: "Why haven't they returned yet? It has been three days and three nights. Why hasn't the young Miss come back yet?"
"Don't worry, in the past three days, we have never seen a trace of the Emergency Rockets. Both of them haven't encountered any danger. Maybe they started the Soulstone-Integration," Chi Wu was much calmer than Mu Shuiyue, Yun Canghai was also calm.
"Oops!" The whole time, they had avoided mentioning the Soulstone-Integration. Because if mentioned, Mu Shuiyue would jump like she received an electric shock.
"Mu Magician, don't be so shocked, ah," a warrior complained.
"This is really bad. When the girls entered the forest, I forgot to tell them to only choose Soulstones under 60 years for integration," what Mu Shuiyue was worried about was that after finding a Soulstone the two girls would just indiscriminately use it.
Soulstone-Integration was very particular.
It's just that most of the new magicians didn't pay attention to this.
The often only knew that they had to choose a Soulstone with the same attribute, but they disregarded that the Soulstone-Integration was the most important part.
For new magicians, a Soulstone of appropriate age meant a great boost in magic abilities. If they incorporated a too weak Soulstone, it would affect their future magic practice, and a too old Soulstone, would pose the threat of their Magic Soul to be injured by the mighty magic power of the demon beast
The more magical attributes a magician possessed, the more magic power they could merge with.
A normal Magician for example, could only integrate a Soulstone of 50 years at most. Dong Huang Ling was a dual-attribute, so the Soulstone's age could be increased by 10 years, and so on.
"You women like to worry too much," Chi Wu didn't take it seriously: "A Soulstone of more than fifty years, only appears in at least fourth-rank or fifth-rank demon beast. Do you think two new magicians who haven't learned magic for long, would be able to hunt fifth-rank demon beasts, not to mention that there aren't even any fifth-rank demon beast on Yue Wu Mountains. What do you say, Yun Brother?"
Yun Canghai didn't answer, the sun had already almost disappeared behind the Yue Wu Mountains, but he was sure that Yun Sheng would return at the agreed time.
If they did not return, did really something happen?
***
At this time, Yun Sheng and Dong Huang Ling were still integrating the Soulstones of the Fire Lion Bull, they had just obtained.
Neither of them realized that they were experiencing the most urgent crisis of their short lives.
The two Soulstones of the Fire Lion Bull were nothing to scoff at. The thunder-attribute Soulstone was the secondary Soulstone of the fire lion bull for nearly ninety years. Yun Sheng's fire Soulstone was even more impressive. As the main Soulstone, it was nearly 130 years old.
Whether from Mu Shuiyue or Yun Canghai, there had been no warning that they could not integrate Soulstones beyond the age-limit. After all, they took it for grated that Yun Sheng and Dong Huang Ling couldn't kill demon beasts above fourth-rank.
Furthermore, the two attributes fire and thunder were the fiercest attributes.
When Yun Sheng and Dong Huang Ling chanted, the magic power of the Soulstone was attracted. They (the two magic powers) turned into two magical pythons, wrapping around the magic scepters, one red and one purple.
Xiao Hei, who was lying on the side, stared with wide eyes, watching the two magic powers enveloping the magic scepters.
But suddenly, they abandoned the magic scepters, and enveloped Yun Sheng and Dong Huang Ling instead.
Their small bodies, were in an instant completely wrapped in this red and purple magic snakes.
Both felt suffocated, as a huge magic power teared their bodies.
At this moment, both of them realized that the two Soulstones exceeded the age maximum they could bear.
But now they were already riding the tiger, and if they stopped meditating now, the two magic snakes would surely devour the two's Magic Souls.
Even if they survived the ordeal, they would be wastes after waking up.
Becoming a waste? The thought only temporarily flashed through the minds of the two, and was firmly rejected.
At the same time, they accelerated their chanting, and circulated the magic power in their small bodies.
A green and purple light flashed, and a Magic Soul appeared above Dong Huang Ling's head.
But her Magic Soul didn't have the cloud shape Yun Sheng had seen earlier. Instead, it had the shape of an ancient musical instrument.
As Dong Huang Ling's chanting sped up, the musical instrument rang loudly and gave out a majestic magic sound.
The magic snake immediately broke apart, and the Magic Soul shrunk, until it was finally concealed in Dong Huang Ling's body.
A light flashed on Dong Huang Ling's magic scepter, which was a sign of the Soulstone finally merging with the magic scepter.
Yun Sheng's situation was even more serious than Dong Huang Ling's. After all, the fire Soulstone was older.
At this moment the multi-colored Magic Soul appeared.
The red magic snake opened its mouth and wanted to swallow the colorful cloud.
But after it saw the cold black color of the Magic Soul, the red magic snake, a magical spirit without wisdom, like it saw the most terrible thing, evaded and retreated into the magic scepter of Yun Sheng.
On the surface of the magic scepter, a flame appeared.
The Soulstone-Integration was over.
Almost at the same time, Yun Sheng and Dong Huang Ling opened their eyes, stared at each other, and blurted out: "I succeeded."
The two jumped up and took hold of their magic scepter. Dong Huang Ling chanted a wind magic spell. A light breeze rolled around her. Her jacket moved in the wind, and like a leaf, her body was immediately lifted up: "Suspend."
Yun Sheng also showed no signs of weakness. She moved the magic scepter in her hands, several flames, like cannonballs flew in the sky, and with a bang, all the surrounding trees had suffered huge damage, becoming a sea of flames.
Ninety years old thunder Soulstone.
And 130 years old fire Soulstone.
After successfully integrating Soulstones that exceeded the maximum age, Yun Sheng and Dong Huang Ling had achieved breakthroughs in their magic abilities.
Yun Sheng had also learned a new kind of fire magic from the Soulstone, and it was very powerful.
