Even if she knew that something was wrong, the female spellcaster, Angel was powerless to fight back as her whole body felt limp.
She had many mixed feelings. Anger, humiliation, terror, helplessness… What made her more shameful was that her body was actually reacting to Yang Ling’s caresses. It was a feeling she never felt before, just like…
Hehe, break through!
As he felt Angel’s turbulent emotions, while the milky-white energy aura was extremely unstable, Yang Ling shaped his majestic Mental Energy into a knife, and ruthlessly stabbed at the other party’s ring of protection energy.
Ah…
As her mind was forcefully attacked, Angel felt like her whole head was about to burst. She cried out in agonizing pain. Immediately, she felt a cold energy seeping into her brain and her consciousness fading.
While Angel felt like she was being hit by a hammer, Yang Ling was suffering as well. The moment his Mental Energy touched her soul, he got attacked by the milky-white energy’s powerful counterattack. The metal energy he sent out was hard to control, as if it got sucked into a Mental Energy gravity field. His mind almost scattered, as if he got attacked by an invisible force. His whole body trembled as he almost spit out a mouthful of fresh blood!
Can it be, that this was the so-called Divine Power?
Sensing that the milky-white energy aura was extremely powerful, Yang Ling gave a vexed hum. Fearing that going further would case him harm, he decided to quickly summon his great Mental Energy back. To his shock, the scary milky-white energy followed like a shadow, surging up into his brain, and started attacking his soul.
Not good!
In his great shock, Yang Ling swallowed large amounts of the Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs to replenish his Mental Energy, while chanting a mantra silently, trying his best to activate the Physical Protection Wizard Power, in hopes of forcing the milky-white energy aura out. However, he quickly discovered that the situation is grim! Even if only half the milky-white energy aura had entered his body, it was so powerful that it was terrifying, attacking him as if it were splitting bamboo.
What to do?
Just as Yang Ling was turning pale with fear and raining sweat, a shred of Source Energy, previously tampered by him, suddenly activated from the Dimension of Dead Souls, and mixed together with the milky-white energy aura, stopping the weird energy’s attack at the critical moment.
All things have a counterbalance. Could it be that the source energy from the Dimension of Dead Souls was able to counter the Church’s Divine Power?
As he felt the milky-white energy aura and the gray energy from the Dimension of Dead Souls mix together in a stalemate, Yang Ling had a sudden thought. He immediately used a high level Soul Tampering Technique. Since the Soul Tampering Technique could tamper the Source Energy from the Dimension of Dead Souls, then, maybe it could also tamper this type of weird milky-white energy.
Sure enough, under the Soul Tampering Technique, the milky-white energy got tampered bit by bit and became part of him. After circulating in his body a few times, it merged with his Wizard Power, Life Force, and the Source Energy from the Dimension of Dead Souls. Not only did he get out of a difficult situation, it was also a blessing in disguise, as his power grew greatly.
After tampering and merging with the Soul Energy of an ordinary person, Yang Ling’s Mental Energy improved greatly, and the range of his senses greatly increased. But that was nothing, in comparison to the milky-white energy.
After merging with the milky-white energy, Yang Ling found that not only did his Mental Energy increase exponentially in an instant, even his Wizard Power improved in leaps and bounds. His senses and level of sensitivity had become sharper and he gained even more mastery over his control of his Mental Energy.
As the number of tamed Magical Beasts keep increasing, much more work needed to be put into commanding them than before. Yang Ling could only give them commands in batches, or get the help of Magical Beast Champions such as the Tarantula King and the Evil Eye Tyrant. However, he now could feel the thoughts of every Magical Beast, making it easy for him to direct them at will, as if they were the extension of his arms.
“Don’t come any closer, don’t come any closer…”
After an unknown amount of time, the female spellcaster, Angel, slowly regained consciousness, exclaiming in fright while cowering in a corner, afraid that Yang Ling, in front of her , would pounce on her. Recalling how Yang Ling had touched her all over while she was almost naked, she was too embarrassed to face anyone. Thankfully her underwear was intact, or else she would not know what to do!
“Miss Angel, congratulations, the Zombie Poison in your body has been completely purged!” Looking at the female spellcaster who was so scared that she was curled up into a ball, Yang Ling helped her to pick up her outer clothing.
This little beauty was from an influential background, so it was enough to get a bit of the mysterious milky-white energy from her. There was no need for Yang Ling to tamper her soul and make mortal enemies out of the Church and Borg Family. In fact, he might gain a witness if he kept her alive, to prove that the prisoners-of-war had all become idiots because of the Zombie Poison.
“His Lordship, I will never forget you!”
After getting dressed, the female spellcaster, under the escort of the Bullmen Warriors, left quickly. Before leaving, she glared at Yang Ling, with mixed feelings. Even though she had been freed of the Zombie Poison infection, she could not hold back tears as she thought of the process she went through to purge the poison. If the news spread, how could she bear to face anyone?
After commanding the Bullmen Warriors to escort he female priestess back to her cell, Yang Ling commanded them to bring another prisoner to him, to continue tampering their souls.
To increase the persuasiveness, Yang Ling used the same story to lie to a few inexperienced fellows and spared their lives. He left a few fully conscious, clear-minded fellows, like Angel, a few dozen fellows whose souls were damaged, with muddled minds, and the rest of them, were reduced to idiots.
After all, if he were to say that the Church’s army had been infected by the Zombie Poison, it would be hard to persuade people to believe him. But if he were to let those who were soul-damaged, with muddled minds to say that they did see Yang Ling purge the poison out of their bodies, then it would be more believable. Even if the Church found it hard to believe in their heart, they would not be able to find an excuse to start a quarrel with him immediately.
After being busy the half the night, and settling the Church’s prisoners-of-war, Yang Ling made use of the rest of the time to cultivate his skills. After his Mental Energy had greatly improved, he found that there was only a paper thin barrier left between him and the ability to advance to become a Intermediate Level Wizard. If he could break through the barrier and advance to become a Intermediate Level Wizard, he would have greater confidence to face the pressure the Church and Troops Association were putting on him.
They were all Wizards, but according to Stele’s explanation, every time a Wizard breaks through a barrier, the difference in power would be incomparable!
Levelling up to Intermediate Level Wizard meant that he could stack normal Killing Formations and would not need the help of various Restrictions. He would be able to practice High Level Wizardry and increase his attack strength and defense. He would also be able to come into further contact with the Source Energy of heaven and earth and learn more spells to master souls.
Furthermore, there were a few Wizard Treasures in the third level of the Wizard’s Pagoda, and ways to refine and use them. As it expanded a huge amount of Wizard Power, Yang Ling had always been able to see them, but not able to use them. But if he were to level up to Intermediate Level Wizard, he might be able to use freely use them.
Now, each Magic Hunting Card given to the Hunters could only tame one Magical Beast. But if he were to level up to Intermediate Level Wizard, Yang Ling might be able to find a way to improve the cards. If each card were able to carry a few, or even more than dozen Magical Beasts, the strength of the hunters and soldiers would increase exponentially, rapidly expanding the power of the Hunter’s Association and Magical Beasts Realm.
Basically, every time his power increased greatly, there would be big and small changes within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and to the Magical Beasts. After checking his physical condition, Yang Ling took a deep breath, and went into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. There he quickly discovered the changes in the Magical Beast Army and the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
Over this period of time, with the nourishment from the lake water, the trees and grass of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space grew at a fast pace. There was a grass plain that stretched out to as far as the eye could see, and a forest the went on for a thousand miles. There was even swamp, a favorite of the Twin-legged Flying Dragons.
What was different from normal was that it had started drizzling in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. In the past, there would at most be a big layer of fog. Now, it had unexpectedly started to drizzle. It was starting to resemble the environment on the outside.
The free-range low level Magical Beasts, such as the Horned Bee Beasts, Evil Eyes, Spiders and Vampire Bats, were seen in the forest. Once in a while, Yang Ling could see some ants rapidly crawling in the rain. Some were moving their nest from the low-lying areas where water has collected, to higher ground, while others braved the rain to look for food. Everything seemed no different from the outskirts of the Terras Forest!
The marks on the foreheads of the Magical Beasts he tamed, regardless whether they were low level Magical Beasts like Horned Bee Beasts and Evil Eyes, or high level Magical Beasts like the Chimeras of Dark Dragons, grew clearer, and their intelligence also increased. They also worked better each other.
“My Lord, this is bad, my Lord…”
After an unknown amount of time had passed, just as Yang Ling was about to observe the changes to the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and the Magical Beast Army, an urgent voice sounded outside. He telported straight from Wizard Pagoda’s Space to take a look, only to see that leaders like the Elder Fox and Ox Chief were almost all there, looking grave, as if something bad had happened.
“My Lord, the situation is bad. A big group of Experts from the Church have barged in. They want to forcibly take all the prisoners-of-war and even threatened to bur the entire Black Water City!” Elder fox was extremely worried, anxiously looking at Yang Ling.
In order to settle the homeless citizens, he had been as busy as a bee. Yang Ling did not expect that as he just laid down, the Church’s Army charged in. The patrol guards and the city defense forces were definitely no match for them. If not for the defense forces with the Pear Blossom Crossbows, who managed to reach in time, he was afraid that the Church would have snatched the prisoners-of-war and set fire to the city long ago.
Burn down the entire Black Water City?
Hpmh, they are looking for death!
While the leaders like Elder Fox were worried and anxious, Yang Ling was calm and collected. The Church might be powerful, but his own Magical Beasts Army were no easy prey.
The mid to lower level Magical Beasts were immune to magic, the Dark Dragons were strong in close combat, the Chimeras had great speed and paralyzing attacks, the Twin-legged Flying Dragons had astounding defense and precision in attacks…
With some many powerful high level Magical Beasts, along with the Thousand-faced Mink’s Group Illusion Magic, the numerous Horned Bee Beasts and Evil Eyes, and the Spiders and Vampire Bats all over in the wild, even if the Church were to drop all pretenses and directly attack, he was confident that they would be able to overcome all odds!
The Magical Beasts Realm would always be his. If the Church had the audacity to create trouble on his territory, the would definitely pay a bloody price beyond their expectations!
