Yun Sheng's breakthrough lasted a full night.
Early in the morning, as dew dripped from the tips of the leaves and wet Yun Sheng's cheek, she slowly exhaled a mouthful of foul air.
Over this period of time, Yun Sheng seemed to have grown up by several years, her appearance changing. And now the only seven-year-old she, looked like a twelve-year-old.
Her face, which still had some baby fat on it, had slimmed a bit, becoming even more graceful. She had grown by nearly ten centimeters; her dress had even become a bit too small for her!
It was as if in this advancement, not only Yun Sheng's magic power grew greatly, even her physique had undergone a major change.
This was because, although Yun Sheng wasn't a warrior, she practiced the Jade Marrow Technique, which was a technique that emphasized on gradual progress.
Yun Sheng had already practiced this technique in her previous life, causing her to have a solid foundation. At the age of three she already broke through once, at six-years-old she broke through the second time, and this time, after she successfully contracted the Hundred-Footed Ant Monarch, she broke through yet again.
After inhaling and exhaling for a while, Yun Sheng's mind moved slightly, her Mysterious Bone Magic Scepter ejected a dazzling fireball. This fireball struck the nearby tree, setting the tree ablaze.
Yun Sheng conjured a few more spells in succession, and found that after breaking through to Great Magician, the magic elements in her body had become even more abundant, and her chanting became even faster.
As for her summoner level, she also smoothly advanced from War Beast Summoner to Scepter Summoner.
What was even more gratifying was that after contracting the Ant Monarch, Yun Sheng possessed a Commander-level summoned beast, and she also obtained the Ant Monarch's memories.
The domineering and cruel Hundred-Footed Ant Monarch from earlier had become tame and good-natured, crawling obediently in the Beast Space.
A Hundred-Footed Ant Monarch, a Commander-level demon beast, able to spit highly destructive venom that could disperse magic and douqi.
And such a demon beast was also able to summon hundreds of Beast Ants and flying ants, which was equivalent to her having an army of demon beasts.
After learning about the advantages of this Ant Monarch, Yun Sheng was delighted, she tried to command the Ant Monarch to summon Beast Ants and flying ants, once she did this, her wish was granted.
Not only that, Yun Sheng also tried to command the Beast Ants and flying ants, and found that the ants not only followed the Ant Monarch's, but also her command. And when they ordered at the same time, the ants would choose to follow Yun Sheng.
"Haha, this beast tide really brought me a lot of benefits," Yun Sheng rejoiced, but suddenly heard an anxious cry.
This voice..., Shen Feng!
Yun Sheng recalled the Ant Monarch into the Beast Space.
After a short moment, Shen Feng arrived with Xiao Hei.
After leaving Inaba Mountain Acropolis, Shen Feng was worried that he wouldn't be able to find Yun Sheng, so he decided to take Xiao Hei with him.
Xiao Hei was also worried about his master, so he took this opportunity and searched all around for Yun Sheng's scent with Shen Feng. They searched for a whole night, along the way, they saw the destruction brought about by the ants. Just when Shen Feng was about to despair, Xiao Hei let out an excited bark, and that's how they found Yun Sheng.
"Little Loli! I'm glad you're alright!" Shen Feng was so excited to see Yun Sheng that he hugged her tightly.
While Shen Feng hugged her, he realized that the originally soft and immature body of Yun Sheng had completely changed.
He was extremely excited and happy just now, so he didn't care about Yun Sheng's appearance at all. Now, he lowered his head and took a closer look, and he found that, after the Little Loli disappeared only for one night, her appearance had completely changed.
Her face transformed from cute to pretty, even her figure became more like a girl's. Looking at the magic robe on her body, because she had become a lot bigger, her clothes were too small. But what surprised him the most, was that Yun Sheng's magic power had become much stronger.
If he wasn't mistaken, Yun Sheng had already become a Great Magician.
"Ooh—" Xiao Hei howled dissatisfied from the side.
Sensing Yun Sheng resisting in his arms, Shen Feng released her from his hug, a rare touch of red actually appearing on his face.
He took out a set of magic robes from his storage ring and gave them to Yun Sheng.
Early Ju Empire was an eleven country, and elves were good at weaving, brewing and forging, so this set of magic robes was very exquisite.
After Yun Sheng put it on, her whole atmosphere seemed even more different, her face was like a peach blossom, her figure was so slender, he thought the wind would be able to take her away. Shen Feng couldn't bear to even blink.
"Little Loli," Shen Feng felt the urge to take a bite of her, and he rubbed his chin: "You really look like a person from Early Ju Empire, why don't you just come back to Early Ju Empire with me?"
"I'm a person from Great Zhou Empire, what would I even do in Early Ju Empire?" Yun Sheng shrugged, she had been missing for a day and a night, the other three members of Phoenix must be very anxious right now, she should better head back.
"I suspect that your magic scepter is a sacred relic left by the elves. If you follow me back to Early Ju Empire, I can even send you a two-hundred-years-old Soulstone," Shen Feng pointed at Yun Sheng's magic scepter.
"You mean this Blessed Magic Scepter? No, I bought this scepter from Madame Milo's shop, it's not some holy elven relic, and I don't want to go back to Early Ju Empire with you," Yun Sheng refused Shen Feng, though she was tempted when she heard that she could obtain a two-hundred-years-old Soulstone.
After she had advanced to Great Magician, it was time for her to get a Soulstone, but unfortunately, there was no suitable demon beast gathering place nearby.
Seeing that Yun Sheng refused, Shen Feng couldn't help but feel gloomy. Even though bringing Yun Sheng back with him was only his selfish idea.
A message had been sent by Early Ju Empire from the Immortal Residence for him to rush back, but he was unwilling to part with Yun Sheng.
"Alright, after I return to my country to find out what happened, I will come back to you, here is a Soulstone, let me give it to you as a farewell gift for now," Shen Feng quickly put on a bright smile again, his temperament was really like the wind, changing at every junction.
Shen Feng took out a beautiful crystal box, inside lay a purple-green Soulstone.
After the Soulstone left the demon beast's body, if it wasn't immediately absorbed, it had to be sealed up with a special magic crystal box, so that the magic elements inside wouldn't dissipate.
Purple and green, which symbolized Thunder and Wind in magic elements, gathered to form this two-hundred-years-old Wind and Thunder Soulstone.
"This Soulstone is a gift from my mother, but I won't need it after I obtain the Wind Elf Inheritance. Your magic scepter had the blessing of wind elves on it, this Soulstone is perfect for you, after merging it, you won't need to even chant spells in the future, you can just instantly cast magic. Come I'll help you fuse it," Shen Feng asked Yun Sheng to sit down, and helped her merge the Soulstone with her magic scepter.
T/N: Sorry for the short break, both our editor and me were very busy, because of online schooling and exams...
But now you got a Double-Update, yay!
Also, can we just talk about that beautiful image of Yun Sheng getting swan-like wings? I was fan-girling so hard when I translated it! But only a chapter later you get a dried hand lol
I'm glad Yun Sheng broke-through, but still, now she got a Dual-Soulstone and of Dong Huang Ling's attributes to boot! I hope they can swap them later in the story, although it's also cool that Yun Sheng can Insta-Cast now...
Thank you for reading!!
