CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 56 NEW MAGIC

It has been exactly three days since Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling entered the mountain range.

As dusk approached and the sun gradually set, Chi Wu and others were still waiting outside the Yuewu Mountain range for Yun Sheng and her return.

Mu Shuiyue paced back and forth anxiously, "Why haven’t they come out yet? It’s already been three days and nights, and with their pace, they should have almost covered the entire central area of Yuewu Mountain. Why hasn’t the young Miss returned yet?"

"Don’t worry, for the past three days, we haven’t seen any Flame Arrow signals, which suggests that they haven’t encountered any dangerous situations. Perhaps they have already found the suitable demon beast and started the soul stone fusion," Chi Wu was much more composed than Mu Shuiyue, and Yun Canghai also had a face of composure.

"It’s bad!" Mu Shuiyue exclaimed suddenly as if shocked by electricity upon mentioning the soul stone fusion.

"Magician Mu, could you please not panic like this," a martial artist complained.

"This is really bad, when the young Miss entered the forest, I only reminded her to be safe and forgot to tell her that with her strength, she should only choose soul stones less than sixty years old for fusion," Mu Shuiyue worried that the Miss might recklessly fuse any demon beast she hunted.

Soul stone fusion is also very particular.

However, most new magicians are not aware of this.

They often only know that they should choose demon beast soul stones of the same attribute for fusion but do not realize how critical the process of soul stone fusion actually is.

For a new magician, a soul stone of the right age means a much greater magic power. If they were to fuse with a stone too low for them, it would impact their future magic cultivation, but if they fused with the highest age limit they can handle, the soul stone’s powerful magic might rupture their magic soul.

The more attributes of magic souls a magician has, the more magic power they can fuse.

For example, a magician can only fuse with a magic soul stone up to fifty years old, Donghuang Lingling being a dual-element magician could add ten more years to her limit, and so on.

A demon beast from the third to fourth rank usually meets these requirements.

"Ah, you women just love to worry unnecessarily," Chi Wu said unconcernedly: "Over sixty years, that would at least be a fourth or even fifth-tier demon beast. Do you really think two new magicians who just learned magic could hunt a fifth-tier beast, besides, it’s not necessarily that Yuewu Mountain has fifth-tier beasts. What do you think, Brother Yun?"

Yun Canghai did not answer; the sun had already set behind the mountain. Knowing his daughter Yun Sheng, she should have returned on time as agreed.

If they are late, could it be that something unexpected really happened?

At this moment, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were still fusing with the soul stone of the Fire Lion Bull they had just obtained.

Neither of them realized that they were currently facing the most critical crisis in their short lives.

The two soul stones of the Fire Lion Bull were indeed not common goods, looking at their age, the Thunder attribute one, as the secondary soul stone of the Fire Lion Bull, was close to ninety years, and Yun Sheng’s, the main Fire-attribute soul stone, was almost a hundred and thirty years old.

Neither Mu Shuiyue nor Yun Canghai had specifically warned them not to exceed the age limit for fusion, assuming naturally that Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling couldn’t possibly kill a demon beast above the fourth rank.

The attributes of fire and thunder are the most intense and fierce.

As Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling chanted, the magic power of the soul stones was drawn out, transforming into two giant magical serpents, which wound themselves around the barren magic wand, one red and one purple.

Little Black, who was lying aside, stared with wide eyes as the two forces of magic power swirled around the magic wand.

They left the wand and entwined around Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.

In just a moment, the small bodies of the two were completely enveloped by a red magical snake and a purple magical snake.

Both girls felt a momentary suffocation, a prodigious Magic Power constantly tearing at their bodies.

At this moment, both had realized that the age of these two soul stones might exceed what they could endure.

But now they were already in a difficult position, if they stopped meditating now, the Magic Power Spiritual Snakes would definitely devour their Magic Souls mercilessly.

In doing so, even if they escaped successfully and woke up, they would become crippled.

Become a Magic Waste? This thought only briefly lingered in their minds for a moment, and was resolutely denied by both.

They simultaneously quickened their chanting, and the Magic Souls that were previously suppressed within their small bodies became active again.

A green and purple light flickered, and above Donghuang Lingling’s head, a Magic Soul appeared.

However, her Magic Soul was not the cloud-like form Yun Sheng had seen before; Donghuang Lingling’s Magic Soul had a strange shape, like an ancient musical instrument.

With Donghuang Lingling’s chanting becoming faster, the musical instrument boomed, emitting a sweeping majestic magical sound.

The Spiritual Snake’s etherial body instantly dispersed, and the Magic Soul Ancient Bell gradually shrank, finally hiding inside Donghuang Lingling’s body.

A purple light flashed from Donghuang Lingling’s Magic Wand, signifying the imminent completion of the fusion with the Demon Beast Soul Stone.

Looking over at Yun Sheng’s side, her situation was even more critical as the age of her Fire-type Demon Beast Soul Stone was even greater.

The moment a five-colored Magic Soul appeared.

A red-bodied Magic Power Spiritual Snake opened its huge mouth, trying to swallow the cloud of five-colored Magic Soul.

But when it saw the cold black hue within the cloud of five-colored Magic Soul, a shade of fear floated in the eyes of the Magic Power Spiritual Snake, devoid of human intelligence.

As if seeing the most terrifying thing, the Magic Power Spiritual Snake dodged and burrowed into Yun Sheng’s Magic Wand.

The surface of the Magic Wand surged with a fiery color.

Magic fusion, complete.

Almost simultaneously, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling both opened their eyes, looked at each other, and blurted out simultaneously: "I succeeded."

Both leapt up, grasping their Magic Wands. Donghuang Lingling chanted Wind Magic, a gentle breeze swept beneath her, lifting her body like a leaf in elegant motion: "Floating Technique."

Yun Sheng was not to be outdone; her Magic Wand glided in her hand, launching several intensely fierce flames like a sky full of flying shells, with a booming sound, the surrounding trees immediately suffered, turning into a blazing inferno.

A ninety-year Thunder Soul Stone.

A one hundred thirty-year Fire Soul Stone.

Having successfully fused with soul stones beyond their own maximal limit, both Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling’s strengths experienced a breakthrough.

However, Yun Sheng, while fusing with the Magic Soul Stone, also comprehended a new type of Fire Magic, Fire Flame Burst.
