"You ugly woman, you’re rejoicing in others’ misfortunes. I bet you don’t dare to enter the Elf Karma Fire Array, otherwise your ugly face will definitely be burned by the Karmic Fire till it’s a thousand times uglier than mine," upon hearing that her face might not be curable, Xuan Meimei’s first reaction was not to blame her own foolish actions, but to regret not letting Yun Sheng enter first."Meimei, stop talking. You should apply some medicine first. I also want to try entering the Karma Fire Array," Yuan Bupo was not scared away by Xuan Meimei’s predicament. Any Mage, if they come across the top-level Fire Magic Element, Elf Karma Fire, would try it at all costs. This time, although Yuan Bupo couldn’t find a suitable Battle Song Beast, if he could obtain the Elf Karma Fire, it would still be worth the journey. "Miss, may I try first," Yuan Bupo was much more generous than Xuan Meimei. As courtesy demands reciprocity, Yun Sheng was not in a hurry and nodded her head, agreeing. Yuan Bupo walked into the center of the Elf Karma Fire Array. As soon as he stepped in, unlike when Xuan Meimei entered, circles of Karmic Fire erupted within the Magic Array. A tremendous amount of Karmic Fire quickly formed a ring of flames, encircling Yuan Bupo within. Divine Beast Suan Ni watched from the side and thought to itself, "This lad is much stronger than the Ant Man from before, but still lacks a bit of refinement." As soon as Yuan Bupo came into contact with the Karmic Fire, he felt his skin burning hot. He was the most outstanding genius of this generation in the Di Hong Yuan Clan. Although he was a Mage, his parents and other elders in the clan had very strict requirements for him since he was young. They required him to practice Magic, practice the Emperor’s Song, and at the same time, to strengthen his physique. This aspect is where Dihong City differs from other places on the continent; they believe that a good physique can bring Mages better constitution and more advantages while cultivating Magic. So Yuan Bupo’s physique was on par with that of a common Martial Artist. But even so, being burned by the Karmic Fire was still excruciatingly painful. The fire was cunning, seeping into his skin bit by bit, as if wanting to burn all the blood in his body dry. Yuan Bupo instantly felt parched and as though his whole body was about to explode. He wasn’t panicked and sat down cross-legged within the fire circle. He drew the Purple Flute from his waist. His lips sealed the flute holes, and a melodious flute music flowed out from under his lips. The sound of the flute was enchanting and drifted to the ears of the audience and Suan Ni, like divine music. Emperor’s Song, indeed a rare masterpiece, under its effect, the burning sensation of the Karmic Fire decreased significantly. Yun Sheng looked over and the fire in the entire Karma Fire Array seemed to have diminished a bit. "Good lad, to think you know to use flute music to drive away the Karmic Fire," Suan Ni watched from the side and shook its huge head in approval. But just as Yuan Bupo thought he was about to subdue the Karma Fire Array, inside the Magic Array, the flames of Karmic Fire suddenly rose, and with a "boom," a flame not smaller than Yun Sheng’s Fire Flame Burst charged towards Yuan Bupo. The Purple Flute in Yuan Bupo’s hands paused, and he instinctively exited the Magic Array. Yuan Bupo stumbled out, with a hint of panic on his face. "Such a pity, you only passed the first test. Even though you possess a heart of integrity, you couldn’t withstand the fear of Karmic Fire," Suan Ni sighed. The Elf Karma Fire is sentient; it needs a master who can completely accept it. Because of Xuan Meimei’s earlier ordeal, Yuan Bupo subconsciously still harbored some fear towards the Karmic Fire, which caused his attempt to fall short. Yuan Bupo was ashamed. "However, lad, don’t be too disappointed. I see your talent is good. If your Emperor’s Song can continue, I believe that in the future, you will not be inferior to your ancestors," Suan Ni, having lived for tens of thousands of years, had once seen the founding couple of Dihong City. "We are fated to cross paths. Once you leave the Earth Core Melt Cave and head to the Ice and Fire Trench, there, you will find a War Song Beast that belongs to you," Suanni’s words instantly lifted the spirits of the previously disheartened Yuan Bupo. A War Beast personally pointed out by Suanni was bound to be extraordinary. His trip this time was indeed worth it. "Now only you remain. You have seen the obstacles and the fate of those two. Do you still wish to try?" Suanni looked at Yun Sheng. In fact, Suanni was most looking forward to Yun Sheng. This female Mage seemed to have the lowest cultivation among the three, yet the setbacks of the earlier two seemed to be completely ignored by her. Yun Sheng nodded her head. She took a deep breath, gripped her Magic Wand tightly, and walked slowly into the Elf Karma Fire Array. Yun Sheng stepped into the Magic Array. Unexpectedly, the Magic Array did not react at all. "Haha, see, just like me, the Elf Karma Fire simply doesn’t take any notice of you," Xuan Meimei, with medicine on her face, mocked from the sidelines. Her smile froze on her face. In an instant, the Magic Array ignited as if someone had poured gasoline on it, and the entire Array flared up like a brazier, completely alight. The fire was ten times more fierce than when Yuan Bupo entered the Array earlier. "She’s done for, definitely done for!" Xuan Meimei cursed viciously from the sidelines. However, Yun Sheng’s expression remained unchanged, and she didn’t even raise her Magic Wand. The fire spread rapidly across her body like wildfire spreading through dry grass. The flames devoured Yun Sheng’s skin and flesh, her skin cracking into pieces, her veins bursting all over her body. Such pain was enough to collapse a person. Yet even so, Yun Sheng still wore a smile, allowing the flames to consume her. An unusual light flashed in Suanni’s beastly eyes. "Her?" Yuan Bupo’s eyes widened, a look of astonishment on his handsome face. "Heh, what a smart lass. She learned from your lesson, offering no resistance to the Karmic Fire, intending to wholeheartedly accept the baptism of the Karmic Fire. However, merely withstanding the first wave of the Karmic Fire’s trial is still not enough," Suanni said with interest, swishing his tail. No sooner had Suanni’s voice faded than the Karmic Fire in the Magic Array gathered together abruptly. A red-haired Fire Holy Elf with a seductive figure appeared within the Magic Array, her body emitting intense flames. The Fire Spirit looked at Yun Sheng, who had not a single piece of intact flesh on her body. "Ignorant ants, you dare to disturb my slumber. For this, you must pay with your life," said the towering Fire Spirit as she spread her hands, conjuring several Fire Dragons in her palms, lunging towards Yun Sheng. It seemed she was about to swallow Yun Sheng whole. Yuan Bupo stood to the side, his heart pounding with fear. That female Mage didn’t dodge or flee; was she not afraid of death? Was it really worth it to sacrifice one’s life for the sake of a flame seed? Yun Sheng appeared calm on the surface, but when she saw the Night Fire Dragon appear, there was also a bit of trepidation in her heart. Just then, as she hesitated over whether to dodge the attack of the Karmic Fire Dragon, the deep voice of Ye Beiming lingered in her mind. It turned out that the time had come for their agreed-upon shared consciousness. Ye Beiming had not expected that in just one day, Yun Sheng would face a situation several times more perilous than before. "Little Wildcat, secretly muster your Magic Soul, do not dodge," Ye Beiming reminded Yun Sheng. Having heard that, Yun Sheng bit her lip, no longer dodging. She began to quietly mobilize the Magic Soul within her body.
