Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 570 - 62: Advancement

The Dark Gold Master finally understood what they meant by a barking dog seldom bites. Yun Sheng, you are indeed a little dark horse.

If the Dark Gold Master knew that Yun Sheng had not grasped her first Secret Magic during her time as a Magic Master, but rather when she was still an ordinary Magician...

Seeing the master also said so, Ke Ling had no choice but to sulkily step back.

"Whatever magic you used, in any case, you won this time. I will keep my promise and tell you the reason why I made you read magic books incessantly," the Dark Gold Master did not continue to ask what exact magic Yun Sheng had used.

For Mages, because of different family backgrounds or personal experiences, many Mages possess special magic that shouldn’t be divulged.

As a teacher, it was natural not to press further.

"Thank you, Master, then what is the reason behind making us read so many magic books? Does winning this time mean we no longer have to read them?" Donghuang Lingling was more concerned about whether she could avoid flipping through those annoying magic books anymore.

Fully expecting the Dark Gold Master to give a clear answer, Donghuang Lingling almost choked with fury at the Master’s next words.

"I have already told you the answer during the contest just now. You must continue to study the Magic Scrolls as usual, without pausing until the freshmen assessment," said the Dark Gold Master, who then stopped elaborating, rubbed his back, and went inside.

"Is that the answer? No, Master, where is the answer? You did not say anything just now!" Donghuang Lingling was frustrated, unable to recall anything the Dark Gold Master had said during the fight.

"It’s the fluctuation of the Magic Elements. The Dark Gold Master has already demonstrated to us what she meant to teach," Yun Sheng nodded.

She had learned this point from the Dark Gold Master’s personal demonstration.

This contest opened up a brand-new door of magic for Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.

Although due to differences in cultivation and experience, Yun Sheng still couldn’t, like the Dark Gold Master, instantly predict others’ magic based on Magic Wave.

However, in more practical combat to come, Yun Sheng began consciously observing the surrounding Magic Wave of the opposing Mage before the fight.

This habit continued until she broke through to become a Sky Mage and realized her second Secret Magic.

It was this habit-formed Secret Magic that allowed Yun Sheng to display remarkable combat abilities in countless battles later on.

The two began frantically memorizing magic books, to the extent that they eventually stopped going back to their living quarters, taking dry food instead and crazily memorizing Magic Scrolls in the Book Pavilion.

The figures of the two students were now also a common sight in the Book Pavilion, constantly reciting even while eating and sleeping until their eyes turned green from exhaustion.

"Look, those are the two useless trainees taken in by the Dark Gold Master," some students who came to the Book Pavilion ridiculed Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling upon seeing their state.

"What are they doing? They look like they have a case of hysteria," a few female Mages pointed at Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling and gossiped.

"Reciting Magic Mantras, practicing small magic. Tsk tsk, trash will always be trash. I stopped doing such things back in Basic Magic Academy."

"Exactly, magic is about practical application. The trainees of other masters have reportedly entered practical combat training."

"With the way they look, they are bound to lose miserably in the newbie potential assessment at the end of the year,"

In the past, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling would have certainly retorted upon hearing such sarcastic ridicule, but at this moment, neither of them had the inclination to argue further.

One by one, the cryptic Magic Scrolls became fluent and practiced under their recitation.

After six months, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling miraculously managed to recite a thousand Magic Scrolls.

On the day of the assessment, after Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling recited a thousand Magic Scrolls, the Dark Gold Master finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Both of you, try casting your best magic," commanded the Dark Gold Master to Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.

Yun Sheng complied and began to chant. She quickly realized that her chanting was much smoother than before. As soon as she thought of releasing the Flame Burst, it was unleashed almost instantly.

Donghuang Lingling’s performance was slightly inferior to Yun Sheng’s, but compared to her earlier attempts, there was also significant improvement.

"How can this be?" Donghuang Lingling was ecstatic.

"Practice makes perfect. You must have been complaining about me, only making you repeatedly practice a single magic and recite and copy it over and over. But have you ever considered that sometimes to defeat an enemy, a single magic is all that’s needed," said the Dark Gold Master solemnly, "Both of you, up until today, still cannot truly be considered as my trainees."

"Understood, Master!" Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were both very moved.

"In a few days, it will be the potential assessment for newcomers. If either of you fails to enter the top three hundred, you both can roll out of the Magic Elite Camp," the Dark Gold Master’s teaching is known to be amongst the strictest in the entire Mainland Magic Elite Camp.

Yun Sheng was not too worried about the Dark Gold Master’s requirement, as she was currently a Holy Mage, only temporarily hiding her strength because of using the Night Charm Soul Stone.

However, Donghuang Lingling was different. After the Dark Gold Master issued this requirement, she became somewhat dejected.

After the Dark Gold Master left, Donghuang Lingling looked worried: "Yun Sheng, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get into the top three hundred. My strength is only at the initial stage of a Magic Master."

"Don’t lose heart," Yun Sheng thought for a while and gave Donghuang Lingling a bottle of Moon God’s Praise.

"What is this thing?" Donghuang Lingling asked, puzzled.

"This is a Magic Potion I’ve concocted... a Holy-grade Potion, Moon God’s Praise. If nothing goes wrong, after you take it, you’ll definitely break through to be a Holy Mage," Yun Sheng initially didn’t want Donghuang Lingling to rely on potions.

After all, using potions to enhance cultivation is not a long-term solution.

But given Donghuang Lingling’s current situation, if she does not use the Magic Potion to break through, she is likely to fail the assessment in six months.

Yun Sheng didn’t want to see her fail.

A Holy-grade Potion?!

"Are you saying, this is the most mysterious Magic Potion, Moon God’s Praise, that even the Magic Temple hasn’t been able to concoct for the last two or three years on the continent?" Donghuang Lingling had also heard about Moon God’s Praise while she was in the Eastern Capital.

It was said that once in the Tangyuan Country, a bottle of Moon God’s Praise allowed a person who couldn’t even comprehend magic to break through and become a Magician.

That bottle of potion was valued at a whopping ten thousand Imperial Purple Gold Coins.
