Leaving the Book Pavilion with a calm face, little did anyone know that Yun Sheng’s heart was already pounding like drums, the reason being the small note lying inside the Beast Language Ring.
After considering, since the Public Student Dormitory was noisy with many people, she went directly to the Public Herb Field.
In order to facilitate the care of the Public Herb Field, the academy had constructed a small utility room there.
Once she reached the small utility room, Yun Sheng pulled out the small note that she had just obtained.
As soon as the note was in her hand, the Dark Magic Soul within Yun Sheng started boiling uncontrollably, as if fuel was added to boiling water.
Her spiritual power, like antennae, probed into the small note in her hand.
If anyone saw Yun Sheng at this moment, they would definitely be startled.
Her originally dark pupils became even blacker, her eyes eerily large with pupils looking like two black holes.
Under her mid-length bangs, her little face was translucent like a fine piece of jade, reflecting an astonishingly beautiful, demonic charm.
The magic runes on the note changed from disordered to ordered, and soon, a brand new spell appeared in her mind.
"Magic Thorns, Basic Dark Magic, soft and invisible, coming and going tracelessly, capable of silently killing enemies and demon beasts."
Sweat involuntarily formed in her palms—this was Yun Sheng’s first encounter with Dark Magic.
Even though she possessed the Five Elements Magic Soul, under her father Yun Canghai’s warning, Yun Sheng had never studied any Dark Magic, which in her mind, was still a mysterious type of magic.
While Yun Sheng was hesitating, she found a new magic concept on the note, namely the principle of Magic Attribute opposition.
Among the Demon Beasts of the Four Natural Attributes, water and fire negate each other, earth and wind contradict.
More importantly, Demon Beasts of Light Attribute and Dark Attribute are mostly immune to the Four Natural Attribute Magics, but their damage from these attributes is doubled.
Upon reading this, Yun Sheng thought that she had to learn Dark Magic; otherwise, she couldn’t rid the Medicinal Field of demon worms.
Yun Sheng had high comprehension skills, and having studied a few Basic Magics earlier, she quickly mastered this Dark Magic.
She came to an open space outside the Public Herb Field.
Yun Sheng intended to experiment and see how mysterious Dark Magic differed from regular Earth Magic.
According to the magical records, this Basic Dark Magic called Dark Magic Thorns seemed not much different from the Earth Spur that Yun Sheng had already mastered.
Yun Sheng found two rocks of similar size, planning to experiment with both Earth Spur and Dark Magic Thorns to compare their differences.
Yun Sheng had used Earth Spur countless times, and her chanting was very skilled; recently practicing in the Magic Tower, her Magic Power had increased, and she could instantly cast Earth Spur twice, causing the ground to shake; the brownish-yellow Earth Spurs broke through the rocks one after the other, and a rock weighing dozens of kilograms was instantly split into four quarters.
Now to try the newly learned Dark Magic, how powerful is Dark Magic Thorns?
Yun Sheng chanted, and after a soundlessly faint sound, she only felt a slight vibration.
The rock in front remained motionless.
Could it be that the Dark Magic was even less effective than Earth Spur?
Yun Sheng felt frustrated, so she walked over to take a look.
Just as she touched the rock, the originally whole rock shattered into pieces and turned into a pile of ashes.
Yun Sheng was startled. Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that an entire rock could be shattered in an instant.
Such a domineering Dark Magic Thorns, and this was only her first attempt at using it. If she became proficient, not to mention a rock, even a Demon Beast might be internally pierced in an instant.
A thought flickered in Yun Sheng’s mind, suddenly wondering if the principle of Magic Thorns was somewhat similar to her Medical Soul Divine Needle. If the two could be merged, she wondered what the effect would be. If they could integrate into one, it might also well mask the traces of Dark Magic.
However, at the moment, Yun Sheng was not in a hurry to merge the two. She was more eager to find out if this newly learned Dark Magic had any effect on eliminating the Dark Demon Worms in the herb field.
Earlier, Yun Sheng had also tried using Earth Spur and other magics to kill the Dark Demon Worms, but it only damaged the herbs, leaving the Dark Demon Worms unscathed.
Now, she could only try using the Dark Magic Thorns.
Approaching the Public Herb Field, Yun Sheng chanted the Dark Magic Thorns, a surge of unseen Dark Force entered the herbs.
The fine Dark Magic Thorns, as thin as hair, penetrated the herbs instantly, like a frightening flash.
Within the roots and stems of the herbs, those stubborn demon worms were pierced by the thorns, dissipating like mist under sunlight.
The moment the demon worms were pierced by the thorns, Yun Sheng felt a surge of Dark Magic Elements entering her body.
This feeling was similar to the Magic Elements Yun Sheng gained after meditation.
The Dark Magic Power from the exterminated demon worms, following the usage of the thorns, all surged into Yun Sheng’s body.
Yun Sheng was overjoyed, never expecting such brilliant utility from the thorns.
It could not only kill the demon worms but also absorb the Magic Elements from within the exterminated beasts into her body.
Though the Magic Elements from the demon worms were not much, there were many in these few acres of herb fields. After repeated experiments, not only did the Magic Elements in Yun Sheng’s body not decrease, but her Dark Magic Soul even grew a bit.
In order to test whether the thorns could be effective on any magic creature with any attribute, Yun Sheng conducted several more experiments.
At this time, an earth lizard jumped out from beneath the soil of the herb field. With a thought from Yun Sheng, the Magic Thorns instantly pierced the lizard’s belly, and a weak Earth Magic Element surged into Yun Sheng’s body.
She then continuously experimented with rocks, trees, and streams, among other living and non-living things.
Soon, Yun Sheng confirmed one thing.
The thorns, not only could kill enemies unseen but could also absorb Magic Elements from any magical creature, but they had no effect on lifeless materials, only shattering them.
As for whether this Dark Magic could affect humans, Yun Sheng did not yet know.
With not much time left until the mid-term assessment, Yun Sheng decided she could just test the effects of the thorns during it.
At dusk, looking at the herbs in the Public Herb Field which had regained their thriving appearance and feeling the Dark Magic Soul inside her expanded again, Yun Sheng coldly smiled, "Magic Fighting Association, this time, I will make sure you die a miserable death."
The quiet extermination of the demon worms in the Public Herb Field was still completely unknown to Chen Lianlian and others.
That night, a sneaky figure arrived near the Public Herb Field.
This person was Chu San from the Magic Fighting Association, a Wind Mage, who was ordered by Chen Lianlian and others to monitor every move in the herb field.
Under the moonlight, the acres of herb field appeared vigorous, showing no sign of suffering from infestation.
