CHAPTER 123 - LIGHT DEFENSE SPELL
Translated by Luxican

After the instructors left, Yun Sheng walked nonchalantly to the herb field. Looking sarcastically at the bloodstained soil and trampled herbs.
The "fear" on her face was gone without a trace.
"Fighting Association, hopefully, today will serve you as a lesson. If you remain stubborn, I'll make you regret being born into this world." Yun Sheng returned to the scholarship dormitory after tidying the herb field.
The news of what had happened in the Scholarship Students Herb Field hadn't spread yet. When Yun Sheng returned, she saw Gu Feng standing outside the dormitory, next to an annoyed Qi Gubian.
"Yun Sheng, you're back. Qi Gubian and I have been waiting anxiously." Gu Feng's face was bright with joy. Needless to say, the Soulstone integration must have been successful.
"Huh, your stutter seems better?" Yun Sheng was surprised. Gu Feng usually spoke with a little stutter, and while chanting, with a big stutter. But now, there hadn't been any at all.
Gu Feng smiled foolishly, "Thanks to the Light Eel's Soulstone you found. The integration reached 60%, and this came with an additional quickening effect. Just enough to cure my stutter. I won't need to stutter anymore in the future!"
Gu Feng looked very happy, and Yun Sheng was also pleased. She never thought that the Soulstone integration would have such an effect.
"That's not all, I've also comprehended a new spell." Gu Feng said, while raising his magic scepter.
The magic scepter made from One-Horned Horse bone now had an additional glittering Soulstone on it.
Gu Feng quietly chanted.
Astonishingly, he really didn't stutter, and his chanting was also fluent, " Supreme Light God, grant your people the Sphere of Holy Light/ a Shelter of Light"
A ray of light emanated from Gu Feng's magic scepter. The light enveloped Qi Gubian and Yun Sheng who were standing beside Gu Feng, forming a sphere around the three of them, isolating them from the outside world.
There was a tremble in Yun Sheng's heart, and with a wave of the magic scepter in her hand, a fireball shot out and crashed into the ball of light.
The fireball was extinguished after only a few seconds, as if it was drowned in water.
The incredible thing was that the sphere of light, which had a defense without a weak spot would also move with them.
"Hehe, Yun Sheng, this is my Holy Light Sphere. The best thing about it, no elementary magic can break it." Gu Feng was excited, his chubby face shining with pride.
Yun Sheng couldn't help but be amazed. Light magicians were indeed a unique existence.
Even Qi Gubian, who was always aloof, extended his magic scepter, shot out an attack that unsurprisingly, could not penetrate the defensive light sphere either.
"Wow, this thing is really powerful." Yun Sheng thought in her heart; it was even more powerful than a normal earth defense spell.
But not long after this thought, the protective wall of the Holy Light Sphere grew fainter and fainter. And after just ten seconds, the sphere disintegrated.
"The Holy Light Sphere is powerful, but it only lasts for a very short period of time. With my current magic power, it can last up to three minutes." Gu Feng touched his nose embarrassedly.
"......." Yun Sheng and Qi Gubian looked at each other, Yun Sheng giggled and Qi Gubian coughed a few times.
"Well, a group defense spell that moves is already remarkable, and I'm sure this spell will make your future journey in magic a lot smoother." Yun Sheng consoled Gu Feng.
"I hope I won't drag everyone down when the time comes." said Gu Feng apologetically, "By the way, Yun Sheng, why are you back so late?"
Yun Sheng didn't have much to hide from Gu Feng and Qi Gubian. So she told the two about what had just occurred in the Scholarship Students Herb Field.
"How wicked!! It must be someone from the Fighting Association. Let's go and tell Mentor Mei Li!" When Gu Feng heard that the Fighting Association actually used such despicable tactics, he was so angry that he waved his magic scepter impatiently to tell Mentor Mei Li about it.
If Yun Sheng hadn't discovered it, she would definitely have been expelled from the academy when the time came.
"It's too late, don't underestimate the members of the Fighting Association." Qi Gubian interjected coldly, " Go to the medical room immediately."
Yun Sheng's heart skipped a beat, she instantly understood what Qi Gubian meant.
And the three hurried to the medical room.
***
Half an hour ago.
In the Fighting Association, Cheng Lian, who had just gotten the news, sat in the meeting room of the Fighting Association with a gloomy face.
"Chu San failed? Where is he now?" Song Xiangru, who had just arrived like the wind, rushed into the conference room.
The Fighting Association had ears and eyes all over the academy. What had happened in the Scholarship Students Herb Field a quarter of an hour ago had already reached Song Xiangru's ears.
She knew about how Cheng Lian had sent Chu San to drop the Ghost Aphids in the Scholarship Students Herb Field.
In her opinion, it was no big deal, the Fighting Association bullied students of the Potion Departments all the time. It was already a common occurrence in the Royal Magic Academy.
What she hadn't expected was for Chu San to be exposed. And what's worse is that not only was he exposed, the Ghost Aphids were also exposed along with him.
By now, the academy already knew that Chu San had put these insects of the darkness element in the herb field.
"In the medical room, there were some of our junior students there. They informed us that he is still unconscious. And after treatment, his body was okay, but his legs had been broken and there were multiple burning wounds all over his body." Cheng Lian smoothened her brow and poured herself a cup of fragrant tea, drinking a sip.
Song Xiangru was still confused, that Chu San was a distant relative of her Song Family.
Although Chu San was not an intermediate student and was just a simple magician, his wind magic was powerful among the junior students.
It was for this reason that he was favored by Song Xiangru and recommended to Cheng Lian, and was acting as a minion to suppress the Potion Department.
"Now is not the time to pursue this matter, using the Ghost Aphid is a worse matter. The academy has now begun to track down the origin of the bag of Ghost Aphids. If Chu San wakes up and is interrogated by the academy, he will definitely tell about us. Then we will also burn together with him." Song Xiangru looked anxious.
But Cheng Lian snorted, "They won't find out."
Hearing Cheng Lian say that, Song Xiangru got suspicious. "Lian'er, what do you mean?"
"Dead men don't confess anything. You should go to the medical room and find a few people to remove all traces in the Scholarship Students Herb Field." Cheng Lian yawned. Her beautiful face was without a trace of urgency.
Song Xiangru was slightly stunned but quickly understood what Cheng Lian meant.
"But still, he is my distant relative." Song Xiangru was a bit unwilling.
"Either you die, or he dies. Ru Ru, it's just a distant relative, do you want to die for him?" Cheng Lian's gaze was like a knife, scraping across Song Xiangru's face.
Song Xiangru bit her teeth and walked out of the conference room without saying a word.
"Yun Sheng....hmph, just you wait," said Song Xiangru while gritting her teeth.
T/N: I'm finally back from vacation! Now translating and updating will be a lot easier, lol. I relied a lot on my stocked up chapters the last two weeks...
Wow, Cheng Lian is very serious about being the vice-president of a school club...
Thank you for reading!!
