Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 717 - 209: Mysterious Power

"Crown Prince..." After a long time, Empress Dowager Situ spoke as if sleepwalking, "There’s no need for the Crown Prince to be angry. Due to her health issues, Lingling was sent to the Mainland Magic Elite Camp to seek treatment from Sunrise Tutor. The impersonation was only to avoid unwarranted attention."

"Since the Princess is unharmed, Dugu Xiu is reassured. However, it’s been quite some time since the Princess started her treatment, and it’s about time for her to return," Dugu Xiu was very satisfied with Empress Dowager Situ’s response.

"Empress Dowager, it must not be done..." After witnessing Dugu Xiu’s ferociousness akin to a wild beast, how could the Eastern Lord allow his royal sister to come back to her demise?

"Rest assured, Crown Prince, I will send someone to deliver a message to Lingling... saying that I am stricken with a terrible illness. She is very filial; she will surely come back," Empress Dowager Situ closed her eyes, fighting hard to prevent tears from rolling down.

She... had done what she could.

Lingling, your mother owes you an apology. But, if I don’t comply with this demon before me, both the Eastern Capital and your brother will be ruined.

Your mother is a failure, unable to keep you and your sibling safe.

Your happiness in this life has been squandered by your mother. If there is an afterlife, I hope you are not born into a declining imperial family.

That very night, Empress Dowager Situ fell gravely "ill."

A few days later, the news reached the hands of a Dark Gold Master of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.

By then, Donghuang Lingling was still en route back to the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.

Donghuang Lingling was still immersed in the joy of her imminent return to the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.

During the journey on the Skyship, a small incident occurred; two more individuals at the Elite Camp had breakthroughs.

And the timing of these two breakthroughs was very close.

The first person to break through was Chen Lianlian.

After obtaining that bracelet, Chen Lianlian’s strength increased dramatically.

Especially during the period of confinement on the Skyship, Chen Lianlian had already sensed that she was about to break through as a Sky Mage.

Chen Lianlian deliberately timed her breakthrough to coincide with everyone’s breakfast, to draw attention.

At the moment of her breakthrough, a surge of Magic Power gathered around the Skyship, creating a strong Magic Wave.

Seeing this, all the trainees rushed to watch.

Elder Helian’s resentment towards Chen Lianlian diminished somewhat.

When Chen Lianlian emerged from her cabin, she wore a triumphant expression.

Just at that moment, Donghuang Lingling hurried over, "Elder Helian, the breakthrough... Yun Sheng is about to breakthrough."

Early that day, Donghuang Lingling invited Yun Sheng to have breakfast together, but Yun Sheng said she wanted to meditate a little longer, feeling that she was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Donghuang Lingling didn’t take it seriously, but when she returned to the cabin, she found that Yun Sheng had already made a breakthrough.

Yun Sheng’s breakthrough was quite unexpected, and she had not anticipated it to happen in such a way.

Once the identity of the Flame Emperor was revealed, just as Yun Sheng expected, that boy Gu Feng had a look of a wronged wife, complaining that both Yun Sheng and Lingling had kept everyone in the dark.

Yun Sheng simply left the problem for Lingling to solve and didn’t even bother to go for breakfast.

She took the opportunity while Donghuang Lingling was out to study the Mysterious Stone.

Ever since she retrieved the Mysterious Stone from the Tian Yiyu, Yun Sheng had been eager to discover what secrets it held.

According to Yun Sheng’s plan, she intended to embed the stone after her own breakthrough as a Sky Mage.

Currently, she was still some distance away from becoming a Sky Mage, so she decided to investigate what exactly this stone was.

Turning the stone over in her hands, Yun Sheng tapped on it. From its appearance, it looked just like an ordinary stone.

Yun Sheng then burned the stone with Elf Karmic Fire.

The dirt on the surface of the stone immediately peeled off, revealing its inner colors.

The colors inside were actually dazzling and multicolored.

Yun Sheng’s fingers touched the stone.

Suddenly, a force like a wild storm of Magic Power surged out from the stone.

"!"

By the time Yun Sheng realized the power contained within the stone, it was already too late.

A thought flashed through her mind - she must throw away the stone, or else her body would likely burst open from the overwhelming Magic Power.

Yun Sheng made a swift decision, immediately severing her connection with the terrifying stone, but the Magic Power that had entered her body earlier was still rampaging within her.

It was as if there was a small snake wriggling around inside her, converging towards Yun Sheng’s Magic Soul.

Yun Sheng’s face turned red, her limbs almost burst apart due to being inflated by the Magic Power.

Yun Sheng’s Magic Soul rapidly swelled as if it were a balloon being inflated.

It was this fluctuation that led Donghuang Lingling to mistakenly believe that Yun Sheng was about to make a breakthrough.

Elder Helian, informed by Donghuang Lingling, spoke with nonchalance: "No need to worry, it’s just a Magic Master making a breakthrough to become a Holy Mage."

Elder Helian hadn’t finished speaking when the entire Skyship suddenly shook violently, as if it had encountered turbulence during flight.

Elder Helian was stunned.

How could a breakthrough to a Holy Mage cause such a huge Magic Wave? It felt even greater than Chen Lianlian’s breakthrough to a Sky Mage.

Elder Helian was startled and immediately ordered the trainees to clear the area.

"Do not go in there, she is at a critical juncture of her breakthrough. Rushing in carelessly is dangerous for both you and her," Elder Helian stopped Donghuang Lingling and also had the other trainees stay away from the cabin for the time being.

After some time, the Magic Wave finally subsided.

Checking the Magic Soul within her, Yun Sheng indeed found it had grown larger, but unfortunately, she did not succeed in breaking through to a Sky Mage.

After this incident, Yun Sheng dared not lightly touch that Mysterious Stone again.

Yun Sheng thought it over and simply claimed she had broken through to a Holy Mage, since she had "pretended" to stay at the realm of Magic Master for long enough anyway.

"Congratulations Yun Sheng, now you will have the opportunity to learn High-level Magic," her fellow companions were all very happy for her.

Before the trial team of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp set off, Elder Helian had said that any trainee who could break through during this trial would have the chance to learn High-level Magic. Yun Sheng’s "breakthrough," although it did not happen within Sky Wing City, had still occurred before the completion of the trial.

Elder Helian had been careless earlier by simply stating that breaking through would grant the opportunity to learn High-level Magic. Yun Sheng this time had really picked up a bargain.

With this, one more person had the chance to learn High-level Magic, which now included Yun Sheng, Qi, Gu Feng, Chen Lianlian, and Feng Tian. Apart from Yun Sheng, the other four were already Sky Mages.

The other trainees on the Skyship could only look on with hidden envy.

It was fifteen days later, that the trial team from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp finally returned to the Elite Camp.
