Yun Sheng's power is revealed after she injures Liu Xueyu, causing a stir among the other candidates. Qin Yue and Hua Yanluo receive letters from Elder Liu, proposing an alliance against Yun Sheng in exchange for support in the upcoming selection. Qin Yue eagerly agrees, while Hua Yanluo, despite her own ambitions, rejects the offer, prioritizing loyalty to her region. Meanwhile, Yun Sheng dedicates herself to cultivating her newly transformed Dark Magic Soul.

Earlier, the Netherworld Ghost King made mention of a critical aspect of the Demon God Transformation: the synchronization of the Magic Soul to its original state.

It was revealed that the Netherworld Ghost King himself faced immense difficulty in restoring his Magic Soul after undergoing the Demon God Transformation, which ultimately compelled him to maintain his identity as a Dark Mage.

This predicament caused him considerable hardship when attempting to break through to the God Realm, forcing him to reside in the Netherworld. Fortunately, his affection for Li Qingcheng has led him to accept his inability to fully achieve the Demon God Transformation. He now entrusts Yun Sheng with the hope of fulfilling this ambition.

Under the potent influence of the Divine Lotus Karma Fire, Yun Sheng's Dark Magic Soul underwent a subtle yet profound metamorphosis. The dense, dark clouds that formed her Dark Magic Soul began to dissipate, making way for the gradual restoration of her Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth Magic Souls.

Once Yun Sheng's Magic Soul reverted to its original configuration of Six Magic Souls, she carefully withdrew the Divine Lotus Karma Fire.

Yun Sheng then focused on regulating the flow of Magic Power within her being. Upon a meticulous examination of her Magic Soul, she discovered that her Six Magic Souls had indeed undergone a significant alteration.

Previously, due to the absorption of the Netherworld's Magic Spring, Yun Sheng's Dark Magic Soul held a commanding superiority. Among the other Elemental Magic Souls, their strength was ranked as follows: Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth, with the Light Magic Soul, acquired from Ji Ru Mo, being the least potent.

However, after experiencing the Demon God Transformation, Yun Sheng was astonished to find that her previously diminutive Light Magic Soul had experienced remarkable expansion, growing from the size of a mere hair to the thickness of a finger.

Yun Sheng pondered if the Demon God Transformation also contributed to the purification of the Light Magic Soul.

This unexpected windfall filled Yun Sheng with immense joy.

"Transforming the Magic Soul into a Dark Magic Soul is merely the initial phase," Yun Sheng mused. "In comparison to Martial Artists, the most significant vulnerability of Mages, aside from their physical limitations, lies in the conflict between opposing elements. Dark Mages, despite their formidable power, are susceptible when encountering their natural adversaries, Light Mages. If I can master the Demon God Transformation in the future and fluidly alter my Magic Soul's attributes at will, it will undoubtedly grant me unparalleled flexibility in combat."

Nevertheless, she acknowledged the formidable challenge of practicing the Demon God Transformation. Having already employed it once that day, she recognized the imprudence of further excessive use.

Yun Sheng then retracted her Magic Soul and retrieved two intricately crafted boxes.

These were the very Sky Fox Inheritances she had recently obtained from Liu Xueyu and Hua Yanluo.

While Yun Sheng remained unfamiliar with the legends of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, her principle of acquiring diverse skills compelled her to delve into these valuable Sky Fox Inheritances.

Had Hua Yanluo or Qin Yue been privy to Yun Sheng's thoughts, they would have undoubtedly gnashed their teeth in sheer indignation.

What others regarded as priceless Sky Fox Inheritances were, in Yun Sheng's hands, treated with the casual indifference one might afford common cabbage.

With a nonchalant gesture, she opened one of the boxes, revealing the inscription: "Fox Shadow Traceless."

Fox Shadow Traceless represented a secret inheritance of the Hua family from Cangdu. According to Hua Yanluo's own account, this technique allowed for the creation of a Sky Fox Avatar.

The quality of these Sky Fox Avatars, however, varied significantly. The most basic manifestations could only replicate rudimentary cultivation techniques or magical spells. Yet, for practitioners blessed with exceptional comprehension, the ability to manifest an avatar possessing equal strength was within reach.

"Equal strength?!" Yun Sheng's eyelid twitched involuntarily upon reading this revelation.

This implied the astonishing possibility of her Divine Lotus Karma Fire, and even her Summoner abilities, being replicated by the Sky Fox Avatar.

Although Hua Yanluo herself had learned Fox Shadow Traceless, her Sky Fox Avatar had proven mediocre in a prior competition, exhibiting no more than half of Hua Yanluo's inherent strength.

Had her opponent in that instance been Lu Yunshuang or Liu Xueyu, rather than Chen Qi, Hua Yanluo's Sky Fox Avatar might have been of little practical use.

Yun Sheng found herself eagerly anticipating the potential of her own Sky Fox Avatar.

This endeavor demanded an extensive period of three full days and nights for Yun Sheng to fully comprehend and master the inheritance.

It wasn't until the dawn of the fourth day that she finally emerged from her seclusion.

"Doctor Yun, I heard you were in seclusion. Judging by your radiant complexion, you must have achieved significant progress, wouldn't you agree?" Qian Lang inquired warmly, while Feng Lian offered a casual glance.

"Dream on about mastering a Sky Fox Inheritance in a mere three days," Hua Yanluo scoffed, her tone laced with disbelief.

She recounted her own experience, recalling that it had taken her an entire year to develop a controllable Sky Fox Avatar when she was learning Fox Shadow Traceless.

"Haha, I apologize, but I truly have mastered them all," Yun Sheng replied, her dark eyes blazing with a brilliant intensity.

"I said... you couldn't possibly... What! You've learned them all!" Hua Yanluo exclaimed, her jaw practically unhinged by the staggering assertion that Yun Sheng had mastered everything.

"You... you didn't also learn Liu Xueyu’s Yama Fox Claw, did you?" Hua Yanluo couldn't help but gulp, utterly convinced this must be a dream.

"Want to try?" Yun Sheng raised an eyebrow, a playful challenge in her eyes.

Petrified, Hua Yanluo retreated several steps, her expression screaming a desire to put as much distance as possible between herself and Yun Sheng.

How could this lowly Sky Fox Half-Beast possibly master two Sky Fox Inheritances within a mere three days? It was simply too preposterous!

Such an astonishing feat was a rarity, even among the most purebred members of the tribe.

Observing Hua Yanluo's ghost-like expression, Yun Sheng offered a casual shrug and turned to seek out Little Yingying and Bo Bo.

After three days of secluded cultivation, she couldn't help but worry about what kind of mischief those two little ones might have gotten into.

"Doctor Yun truly possesses hidden talents; it's no wonder Master Helai insisted I follow her commands," Qian Lang declared, his conviction in Yun Sheng’s abilities now absolute.

Watching from the sidelines, Qin Yue felt a gnawing frustration, as if a swarm of phantom cat claws were clawing at her heart.

Why was it that she, also a Half-Beast, could not grasp two Sky Fox Inheritances simultaneously and master them so swiftly?

Qin Yue, in her immense resentment, naturally convinced herself that these two Sky Fox Inheritances must be exceptionally easy to learn—so easy that even she could have mastered them instantly.

Consumed by bitterness, Qin Yue penned a letter that very night and discreetly dispatched it to Elder Liu.

Upon perusing the contents of the letter, Elder Liu's already somber expression grew even more grim.

"Grandfather, when will you exact revenge for me?" Liu Xueyu inquired, her voice laced with a potent indignation. The injuries inflicted upon her, though largely mended by Elder Liu's care, still festered.

However, her right hand, irrevocably damaged by the terrifying power of Dark Magic, remained beyond the healing capabilities of even the most skilled witch doctors within the Sky Fox Tribe.

The news of Yun Sheng's rapid advancements sent Liu Xueyu into a near frenzy, and it was only Elder Liu’s solemn promise to deal with the Cangdu wretch that allowed her to regain a semblance of composure.

"Xueyu, that Sky Fox Half-Beast is far more complex than you initially perceived. I fear our prevailing strategy must be revised. Do you recall the considerable time it took you to master the Yama Fox Claw Sky Fox Inheritance you subsequently lost?" Elder Liu questioned, the letter still clutched firmly in his hand, his face etched with stern resolve.
