Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 567 - 59: Appalling Torment

Yun Sheng now has family, friends, and her own influence to defend.

This is the true purpose of her coming to the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, to learn powerful Dark Magic, to become a Sky Mage, and one day, to confront the Summoning Court, retrieve her parents, restore her mother’s memory, and reunite her family.

"Then practice, wait until you can break through that layer of Magic Space, I will naturally teach you the magic to protect the important people. As of now, you are not qualified to learn my magic," the Dark Gold Master turned and left.

In the following days, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling’s nightmare continued.

The training to break the Magic Space went on continuously.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling studied with single-minded focus, during which Ke Ling also inquired about their training.

"Is it that tough? Can you two still hold on?"

"It is indeed tough, tougher than all the magic I’ve been learning for over a decade," Donghuang Lingling sighed.

If it were in the past, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to persist, but thinking of her family in the Eastern Capital, she gritted her teeth and persevered again and again.

During this period of training, Donghuang Lingling often fainted from magic power exhaustion, a truly unbearable experience.

It was like a traveler walking in the desert, never knowing where the oasis ahead was, illusions again and again, thirstiness again and again, grinding one’s willpower extremely frail.

"This is only the initial training, the later stages will be even more tedious and boring, I really fear that you won’t be able to persist," Ke Ling expressed her concern with a worried face.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior sister. I think we can hold on," Yun Sheng said coolly.

"Hehe, that’s good. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to tell me, I will definitely help you, I am your senior sister after all," Ke Ling smiled.

After she left, Donghuang Lingling looked worried, "Yun Sheng, is what senior sister Ke Ling said true?"

"You, just thinking about the difficulties. Haven’t you noticed? Recently, we’ve both made progress," Yun Sheng blinked, "Besides, no matter how difficult the future training is, didn’t Ke Ling also persevere? Can’t we be as good as her?"

Donghuang Lingling, also a bright and clever person, recalled and realized that after enduring a period of Magic Space training, she noticed her own flaws and improvements in magic power control and gestures.

"That’s right, like Thunder Flash, I originally could only release ten at a time, but recently, I’ve broken through to thirteen. The time it takes for my magic power to deplete has also increased, and each use consumes less magic power," Donghuang Lingling suddenly understood.

The essence of practice makes perfect, the two discovered more of their inadequacies in using magic.

So the two continued their training,

About five months later, Yun Sheng successfully broke through the Dark Gold Master’s Magic Space, and Donghuang Lingling also succeeded in breaking the Magic Space in the fifth and a half month.

Their control of magic power also greatly improved.

Just as they joyfully completed the training in Magic Space and thought they were about to learn advanced Dark Magic,

The following words from the Dark Gold Master poured a bucket of cold water over them, leaving them stunned.

"Here are a thousand differently attributed Magic Scrolls. In the remaining six months, you need to transcribe the magic mantras on these thousand Magic Scrolls a hundred times, memorize them thoroughly, and master each magic’s characteristics and countermeasures," the Dark Gold Master brought Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling to the Book Pavilion of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp and picked out a thousand medium and low-level Magic Scrolls.

"Reciting... copying? A thousand copies? Each a hundred times?! What does this have to do with our study of Dark Magic?" Donghuang Lingling felt an urge to go crazy the moment she heard it.

On the Wuji Continent, there are many types of magic, including the Four Natural Attributes as well as some other lifetime magic. The Book Pavilion of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp alone houses hundreds of thousands of magic scrolls.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling never imagined that there could be so many types of magic on the continent.

What made Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling even more frustrated was that the thousand magic scrolls selected by the Dark Gold Master were varied and numerous.

Normally, the most important part of a magic is the chant, the quicker and smoother the chant, the better the effect.

This was well understood by both Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.

The two were most proficient at the magic spells Fire Flame Burst and Thunder Flash, which they both knew by heart.

Yet, the Dark Gold Master required them to memorize completely unfamiliar magic scrolls within six months and keep each one in mind.

"This is clearly a trap! What use is memorizing magic scrolls when we don’t need to use them?" Donghuang Lingling had suppressed her feelings for over five months, but finally lost her temper in front of the 10,000 long and difficult magic mantras on the scrolls.

"All they know is to make us read magic books every day; are they even Dark Mages at all?" Donghuang Lingling said angrily, pushing away a thick stack of magic books.

Donghuang Lingling and Yun Sheng were different; Yun Sheng had experienced the rigorous examinations of a modern medical school and was the "bookworm" type, able to accept reading.

But Donghuang Lingling was different, she had a lively personality and had driven away several Grand Tutors when she was in the Eastern Capital.

The Princess of the Royal Family hated nothing more than reading and writing on typical days.

She thought she could escape the clutches of the Grand Tutors by leaving the Eastern Capital under the pretense of fleeing an arranged marriage.

But who knew the Dark Gold Master also liked making people memorize texts, and the texts were obscure and difficult magic books.

The books in front of Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling included titles like "The Essence of Magic," "The Four Natural Magic," "Several Signs of Natural Magic," and more.

"Lingling, be patient. The Dark Gold Master has her own plans," Yun Sheng said, after experiencing the training of the first half of the year and realizing that the methods of the Dark Gold Master were completely different from other Magic Tutors.

Yun Sheng had also inquired, and most of the newcomers who entered the Mainland Magic Elite Camp with them had already begun practical magic combat, some even hunting Demon Beasts or chasing thieves under the guidance of a tutor, unlike her and Donghuang Lingling.

"It’s not that I’m being irritable, it’s just that the Dark Gold Master’s method is really inappropriate. If it weren’t for seeing her battling several Martial Saints that day, I would doubt, some people aren’t really the powerful Mages as rumors suggest," Donghuang Lingling pouted.

Donghuang Lingling’s complaint happened to reach the ears of the Dark Gold Master.

"What, do you doubt my strength?" The Dark Gold Master glared at Donghuang Lingling.

Underneath Donghuang Lingling’s nose, she made a disdainful snort.

"Master," Yun Sheng saw Donghuang Lingling had caused trouble and quickly stood up, "Lingling didn’t mean that."

"Both of you, come out," the Dark Gold Master took them outside.
