Chapter 197: Magic Explosion
Zhou Quan and the others reported the situation to their young master, who pondered in front of the wall for a long while.
"Did all of you try? You couldn't dig through even if you dug three feet deep?" Yun Sheng asked, looking at the Hunter Soldiers sweating profusely behind him.
"We did dig. Look at our shovels and spades, we've replaced them several times already. I guarantee, the stones in this wall are the hardest I've ever seen," Zhou Quan hurriedly presented the few sets of worn-out shovels and spades, fearing that their young master might blame them for not being efficient.
Yun Sheng glanced at the tools, and without exception, they were all seriously damaged.
"That's it for today. You guys, prepare some food and water for me. I'm going to stay in the mining tunnel for three days. Remember, don't disturb me for any less urgent matter during this period, and unless I look for you, ignore any noise from the tunnel," Yun Sheng waved his hand, dismissing the group of Hunter Soldiers.
Zhou Quan and the others didn't know what Yun Sheng intended to do, but whatever their young master said was the truth, and no one dared to ask more. They obediently prepared food and water and left Yun Sheng alone in the tunnel.
The mining tunnel returned to silence.
Yun Sheng examined the wall. Last time, she felt that this wall was extraordinary, but it was unfortunate that she hadn't had time to study it closely.
On the first day, Yun Sheng experimented with various kinds of magic in the tunnel over and over. She used the Four Natural Magic Elements: wind, earth, water, and fire, whether burning with fire, piercing with water, blowing with wind, or stabbing with earth, any method had been tried.
But the wall in front of her was particularly stubborn; no kind of Magic Elements could cause even the slightest change in the wall.
On the second day, Yun Sheng tried a different strategy. Since the Magic Elements were ineffective, she also tried using the Combat Skill 2 in fusion with Bobbie, trying to break the wall with Super Strength.
But even with the force of a thousand pounds, the wall remained completely unmoved.
By the third day, Yun Sheng decided that if there was still no way to unlock the secret of the wall, she would use the Magic Array to seal the wall temporarily until her cultivation improved in the future, then she would try again.
"Another failure," Yun Sheng dejectedly withdrew the power of the Marrow Jade Technique.
The Marrow Jade Technique was her last trump card, but even the enigmatic Marrow Jade Technique had no effect on the wall.
"It seems that I can only give up," Yun Sheng had no choice but to compose herself, turned around, and left to meet up with Zhou Quan and the others.
Just as she was about to leave the tunnel, she noticed a large pile of rubble at the entrance of the tunnel.
When Tang Yuan's Mages and the mysterious people found this vein, due to the urgency of time, their Mages directly set up a Thunderstorm Magic Array at the entrance of the tunnel.
The violent Thunderstorm Magic Array contained Thunder attribute Magic Elements, producing an effect similar to a modern-day bomb.
An explosion?
Why not try the Magic Thunder Vortex?
Yun Sheng suddenly remembered her Secret Magic.
Because the power of the Mystical Magic Thunder Vortex was too astonishing, and Yun Sheng's usage was very limited, she had never used this magic again after entering Wuxuan Wuji Hall.
If ordinary magic was ineffective, perhaps under the influence of both Water and Fire Magic Elements, an unexpected effect could be produced.
Yun Sheng was overjoyed, and she immediately turned around and rushed back to the wall.
Having walked a circle around the wall, Yun Sheng tapped lightly on it with her hand.
Listening to the sound, she roughly distinguished the thinnest part of the wall.
This is it.
Yun Sheng first activated the Marrow Jade Technique within her body. As the Marrow Jade Technique took effect, her right palm emanated a half-clear jade-like glow, the power of the Marrow Jade Technique, which ensured that neither Water nor Fire Magic Elements could harm Yun Sheng's palm.
This is the most reliable method Yun Sheng came up with after countless practices inside the Magic Tower at the Royal Magic Academy.
She immediately raised her Magic Wand and began chanting.
When the two soul stones on the Mysterious Bone Magic Wand lit up, red and blue Magic Elements appeared on Yun Sheng's fair palm.
The red one, an aggressive Fire Magic Element, and the blue one, a relatively gentle Water Magic Element.
Among the Four Natural Magic Elements, fire and water are two completely different elements. Most mages cannot use and control these two Magic Elements at the same time.
However, Yun Sheng, who possesses a Five Elements Magic Soul, is an exception.
Her fingers moved rapidly, and under the manipulation of her fingertips, the red and blue Magic Elements swirled like countless flexible water plants.
They mingled with each other like tiny tadpoles.
When water touched fire, there was a "pop pop" sound.
The sound grew more and more intense, and as Yun Sheng's fingers moved faster, more of the Water and Fire Elements fused together.
Between the two Magic Elements, there was a tremendous repulsive force, but under the action of Yanling's Hand, as soon as the repulsion appeared, Yun Sheng dissolved it with her fingers.
From their initial repulsion to gradual Fusion, spinning, they finally formed a spherical Magic Thunder Vortex.
Conjuring a Mystical Magic Thunder Vortex consumed more than half of Yun Sheng's Magic Element reserves, leaving her forehead covered with sweat.
With her eyebrows raised high, Yun Sheng muttered to herself: "The victory hinges on this move, go! Mystical—Magic Thunder Vortex."
When Yun Sheng's hand hit that incredibly solid wall, which had never been breached by any Combat Skills or Magic, initially, the wall remained unmoved.
However, as the speed of the Secret Thunder Vortex's rotation increased and Yun Sheng input more Magic Elements, something astonishing happened.
The wall began to tremble, starting as a mere shiver, but then chips of stone started flying off the wall.
It was as if someone was madly drilling with a drill bit.
"There's hope!" Yun Sheng was overjoyed.
But at this moment, she dared not relax at all—she kept replenishing the Mystical Magic Thunder Vortex in her hand and watched the wall closely.
Gradually, more chips flew out, striking Yun Sheng's face, but she did not dodge; she excitedly watched as the hole in the wall slowly expanded and cracks resembling tree roots appeared.
"This is not good, I seem to be running out of Magic Power," Yun Sheng could feel the Magic Elements within her depleting bit by bit.
This feeling was stronger than any other time before.
But right now, Yun Sheng was at a critical moment, and she couldn't stop to take Meditation Water to replenish her Magic Power.
"I'm going all in, no matter what, I have to blast through this wall!" Yun Sheng gritted her teeth and no longer cared about Magic Power exhaustion. She held her Magic Wand tightly and poured the last bit of her Magic Power into the Magic Thunder Vortex.
Just when Yun Sheng thought she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Boom," the wall, which hadn't been opened by anyone for who-knows-how-many years, exploded.
At the moment when the wall burst open, the entire mine began to shake as if an earthquake had struck.
