CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 58 LIGHT ELEMENT DEFENSE SPELL

After a few mentors left, Yun Sheng strolled into the medicinal herb field, her face dripping with irony as she looked at the blood-stained soil and the trampled herbs.

The "horror" on her face faded away like a receding tide.

"Magic Fighting Association, I hope tonight’s events serve as a warning. If you remain obstinately ignorant, I’ll make you regret ever being born," Yun Sheng mused after tidying up the herb field before heading back to the Public Student Dormitory.

News about the incident in the Public Herb Field hadn’t spread yet, but as soon as Yun Sheng returned, she saw Gu Feng standing outside the dormitory with Qi, whom Gu Feng was gripping tightly and refusing to let go.

"Yun Sheng, you’re finally back. Qi and I have been anxiously waiting," Gu Feng said with joy evident on his face, and it was clear without saying that the fusion with his soul stone must have been a success.

"Huh, your stutter’s gone?" Yun Sheng asked in surprise. Gu Feng used to have a slight stutter when speaking, which turned into a major one during magic chanting, but now it was completely unnoticeable.

Gu Feng chuckled goofily, "Thanks to that Lightning Eel soul stone you gave me, my fusion reached 60 percent, and it also came with a ’Swift’ secondary effect that just so happens to cure my stutter. I won’t stutter anymore."

Gu Feng wore a face brimming with joy, and Yun Sheng felt genuinely pleased. Who would have thought the fusion with a Demon Beast Soul Stone could have such an effect?

"And that’s not all, I’ve also grasped a new magic," Gu Feng said, lifting his magic wand.

On the magic wand made of Unicorn Bone, there was now a sparkling soul stone.

Gu Feng began to chant.

Unexpectedly, his chanting was no longer marred by stutters; it was smooth and fluid, "Supreme God of Light, please bestow your protection of light upon your subjects."

A burst of light shot out from Gu Feng’s magic wand, enveloping Qi and Yun Sheng standing beside him, forming a spherical light barrier around the trio, isolating them from the outside world.

Moved by curiosity, Yun Sheng waved her magic wand, and a fireball shot out, striking the light sphere.

Like sinking into water, the fireball flickered out in an instant.

What was truly amazing was the light sphere, with 360-degree defense without any blind spots, moved along with the trio as they shifted.

"Hehe, Yun Sheng, this is my ’Bright Celestial Sphere.’ It’s incredible, no basic magic can break it," Gu Feng said, his plump face alight with pride.

Yun Sheng clicked her tongue in wonder. As expected of a Magician of the Light Element, there really was something special about them.

Even Qi, who was always cold, couldn’t help but extend his magic wand. From it shot a serpentine attack, which, unsurprisingly, also failed to penetrate the defensive light sphere.

"Wow, this thing is really powerful," thought Yun Sheng, considering it to be far more impressive than the typical Earth Magic defenses.

Not long after her praise, the light barrier of the Bright Celestial Sphere began to fade, and in just over ten seconds, the spherical light barrier crumbled to pieces.

"Uh, the Bright Celestial Sphere is indeed powerful, but it only lasts for a short period. With my current magic power, it can last up to three minutes at most," Gu Feng said, slightly embarrassed, scratching his head.

"..." Yun Sheng and Qi exchanged glances. Yun Sheng couldn’t help but burst into giggles, and Qi coughed a few times.

"Alright, a mobile group defensive magic is quite remarkable as it is. I believe this new magic will smooth out our magical journey quite a bit," Yun Sheng consoled Gu Feng.

"I just hope I won’t hold everyone back when the time comes," Gu Feng said, feeling rather embarrassed, "Yun Sheng, why did you come back so late?"

Yun Sheng didn’t keep much from Gu Feng and Qi. She shared with them what had just happened in the Public Herb Field.

"That’s outrageous! It must have been the doing of the Combat Association. Let’s go to Master Mei Li!" As soon as the pudgy Gu Feng heard this, enraged by the Combat Association using such despicable means, he swung his magic wand, intent on informing Master Mei Li.

If it wasn’t for Yun Sheng’s cleverness, this time, he would have surely been kicked out of the academy.

"It’s too late, you’ve underestimated the people of the Combat Association," said Qi after listening, coldly interjecting, "Head to the treatment room immediately."

Yun Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, understanding what Qi meant.

The three of them hurried towards the treatment room immediately.

Half an hour earlier.

Inside the Magic Fighting Association, Chen Lianlian, who had just received the news, sat in the conference room with a somber face.

"Chu San messed up? Where is he now?" Song Xiangru, rushing over after hearing the news, burst into the conference room.

The Magic Fighting Association had informants throughout the entire academy. The incident that happened in the Public Herb Field 15 minutes ago had already reached Song Xiangru’s ears.

Chen Lianlian’s orders for Chu San to release the Ghost Aphids in the Public Herb Field were already known to Song Xiangru.

In her view, there was nothing major about it, since the Combat Association’s oppression of the Magic Potion Department was already a common sight in the Magic Academy.

What she hadn’t anticipated was Chu San leaving traces in the Public Herb Field, and worse, not only did he mess up, he also exposed the matter with the Ghost Aphids.

Now, the whole academy knew about Chu San releasing the Dark Demon Worm in the Public Herb Field.

"In the treatment room, among the trainees sent over, some are our people. They say he is still unconscious, and although he has been treated and his body is not in serious trouble, his leg bone is broken, and he has several burns all over his body," Chen Lianlian relaxed her brows, brewed herself a cup of fragrant tea, and started drinking nonchalantly.

Song Xiangru was still somewhat perplexed, given that Chu San was, after all, a distant relative of the Song Family.

Although Chu San was neither an Intermediate Student nor an exceptional Magician, his proficiency in Wind Magic was quite impressive among the Beginner Students.

Because of this, he was favored by Song Xiangru and recommended to Chen Lianlian to be their pawn to suppress the Magic Potion Department.

"This is not the time to pursue these matters. Using Dark Demon Worms in secret, that is a serious offense. The academy has already started to investigate the origins of those Ghost Aphids, and if Chu San wakes up and the academy questions him, he will certainly reveal us, and then we too will be in trouble," Song Xiangru said, her face full of anxiety.

However, Chen Lianlian just snickered, "They won’t find anything."

Hearing Chen Lianlian say that, Song Xiangru was doubtful, "Lian Lian, what do you mean?"

"Dead men tell no tales. You should make a trip to the treatment room, and find a few people to clean up the traces in the Public Herb Field," Chen Lianlian yawned, her beautiful face completely unfazed.

Song Xiangru was slightly stunned, but soon grasped Chen Lianlian’s meaning.

"But, after all, he is my distant relative," Song Xiangru hesitated slightly.

"It’s either you die or he dies. Ru Ru, he’s just a distant relative, do you really want to accompany him in death?" Chen Lianlian’s gaze was sharp as a knife, cutting across Song Xiangru’s face.

Clamping her teeth, Song Xiangru left the conference room without a word.

"Yun Sheng...hmpf, this time our feud has truly deepened," Chen Lianlian said, enunciating each word clearly.
