System's Super Sect-Chapter 614 - 611, Magic—Petrification Spell!

Churao Mountain, outside the Viewing Room.

"No need! Really no need!"

Caught up in a crowd like that day with Bainian Xiang, Huai Ye kept shaking her head, her face flushed with embarrassment and rejection.

Actually, for Huai Ye.

She didn’t care for being the first to acquire something from the Magic World, so when Bainian Xiang was frantically binge-watching "Harry Potter," her focus was primarily on recipes and cultivation.

She just loved to spar with Yang Lele.

When Yang Lele was upset, she was delighted.

If Yang Lele thought she couldn’t be first, she’d make sure she was.

After snagging magic items following Bainian Xiang, she’s truly embarrassed to demand another round at the Ten Layers Tower from junior apprentices, despite having it previously agreed upon. So, after watching "Harry Potter," she quickly expressed her thoughts amidst the crowd’s chatter, afraid she’d lose her chance to speak.

Huai Ye shook her head and said, "I really don’t want anyone’s cultivation opportunity at the Ten Layers Tower; I just want Yang Lele to avoid eating my cooking for ten days."

However, her refusal didn’t mean the others would accept it.

The crowd began to persuade her.

"An agreement was made earlier; Huai Ye, sister, don’t be polite."

"Yang Lele won’t eat the dishes for ten days, and you’ll earn Ten Layers Tower cultivation sessions. With the dozen of us, you can cultivate for several days in a row."

"Sister, continue refusing, and Yang Lele will be overjoyed. He’d prefer not offering his Ten Layers Tower sessions."

Amidst the urging voices, Yang Lele wore a helpless expression.

Ten days without dishes!

Just thinking about it felt uncomfortable.

Especially imagining the aroma of Huai Ye’s cooking diffusing from afar, the vibrant colors making mouths water, made Yang Lele even more discomforted.

How does Huai Ye keep having such good luck?

First a magic wand.

And now magic.

Together, making her the first after the Sect Leader to master magic.

Suddenly, Huai Ye uttered, "Alright then, I’ll just take Yang Lele’s one session at the Ten Layers Tower."

"Hey!"

Yang Lele was dumbfounded, rushing to argue.

But at the Immortal Sect, the senior brother didn’t carry authority; folks laughed at him regardless. Yang Lele raised his voice, "Why only take mine? Didn’t we agree earlier? Everyone has to contribute their Ten Layers Tower session once. How could you do this?"

Without a thought, Huai Ye retaliated with a single sentence, "An agreement was made, but the choice remains mine; I don’t want the juniors’ offerings, okay?"

"I..."

Yang Lele was left speechless.

Exasperated!

Want to cry!

This expression, caught by the many juniors, triggered another wave of laughter. Of course, it wasn’t genuine ridicule towards Yang Lele, but finding Yang Lele and Huai Ye’s daily sparring amusing. As Zhao Qing, Yang Lele’s girlfriend, she often took Huai Ye’s side, assisting Huai Ye.

Among the laughter, they all felt a bit sympathetic toward Yang Lele.

Clearly the senior brother.

Not the strongest, sure.

Yet somehow, the unluckiest.

In the merry atmosphere, Wen Ping’s voice emerged.

"What’s so funny?"

Upon seeing Wen Ping’s arrival, everyone’s laughter ceased, respectfully standing aside.

"Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader!"

Accompanied by these voices, Wen Ping asked again, "Huai Ye got magic items too?"

Huai Ye stood out promptly, nodding while drawing out the magic wand. It was a black wand, no clue what wood it was made from, but exuded a gentle sensation as if it were a kitten in Huai Ye’s hand.

Wen Ping had this feeling, especially after obtaining the Harry Potter magic wand.

He recalled, in the movie, when Harry Potter purchased a wand, the shop owner had this exact feeling.

The owner could even sense if the wand accommodated someone or not.

Wen Ping surmised the shop owner’s perception likely resembled his current one. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Wen Ping scrutinized the wand briefly, then asked, "Anything else?"

Huai Ye pursed her lips before responding, "To report, Sect Leader, I also acquired a magic spell called the Petrification Spell!"

"Petrification Spell."

In Wen Ping’s mind, the image of the Petrification Spell surfaced immediately.

This spell could petrify people; anyone hit by this spell would become as rigid as an object, requiring matured Mandrake—a special medicinal herb shaped like a baby—to lift the spell.

"This seems more dominating than Wind’s Shackles."

Wen Ping made a mental comparison.

Wind’s Shackles could imprison foes across realms, but has a time limit.

Petrification Spell has no time limit!

If there’s no way to lift it, then basically it’s a dead end.

Looking at it this way, Petrification Spell was indeed far more domineering than Wind’s Shackles.

At this moment, the system’s voice sounded, "Theoretically, it’s more domineering, but only at full proficiency. With full proficiency, release speed is swift. Currently, the mastering of the Petrification Spell has its constraints when compared to Wind’s Shackles—one is limited, the other not. The limitation of Petrification Spell is low hit difficulty, as realm height increases, speed becomes pivotal, and the magical energy may not hit it. Therefore, the best release strategy ought to be sneak attacks."

"I understand."

Like the Vein Technique, timing is crucial.

If the timing is right.

A Petrification Spell can be more fearsome than Wind’s Shackles!

After all, he doesn’t have a way to lift it now, let alone people outside.

Those hit by the Petrification Spell will only face death.

Ending his dialogue with the system, Wen Ping turned to Huai Ye, cautioning, "If you aim to cultivate the Petrification Spell, strive to cultivate its proficiency. A higher proficiency renders swift release. Otherwise, at the current speed, it can only attack enemies unexpectedly. Oh, avoid using this spell on your companions; it’s quite troublesome to relieve the petrified state."

The Mandrake herb for lifting petrification isn’t easy to obtain.

Huai Ye nodded, hurriedly bowing in gratitude, "Huai Ye understands. Thank you, Sect Leader, for your teachings. I won’t use the Petrification Spell on my peers."

After speaking, she instinctively glanced at Yang Lele.

Yang Lele shivered instantly.

Bitterness bubbled up within.

Darn!

Hereafter, if he dares to provoke Huai Ye again, he must think twice.

At least until a solution for the Petrification Spell is found, he shouldn’t antagonize Huai Ye.

After a few reminders, Wen Ping, in good spirits, no longer bothered with unnecessary chat, waving his hand, "Get on with what you should."

...

During the same night, above East Lake appeared a winged Giant Demon, a hundred feet in width, from the Wing Race.

After the Dragon God Sect incident, the Immortal Sect’s reputation soared; many aspired to join, but the long and arduous path demanded strength.

Post the Dragon God Sect’s annihilation, this first exploring team targeted East Lake Immortal Sect.

However, this squad seemed different.

There wasn’t a single person!

All were demons.

Led by two hundred-foot Wing Race Demon Kings, followed by some smaller demons, not so gigantic.

Amazingly, the leading giant flying several thousand meters high, yet along the path, all further demons bowed!

As if they greeted the Demon Emperor!
