Chapter 18 Practicing Witchcraft
Xu Zhenfeng has been eating the same monster meat that Lang Wentian eats these past few days, and the demonic power in his body has long been nourished to the point of overflowing.
But he was still at the first level of the Yellow Rank, and he hadn't even found the location of his inner elixir. Even if his demonic power was overflowing, he could only let it spill out.
After dinner, he went to the newly created small room and began to study the six magic spells seriously.
After reading it carefully several times, Xu Zhenfeng pondered for a while and decided to learn the basic magic of the three demon tribes first.
The so-called witchcraft is actually the use of the unique magic power in the demon race to perform magic.
However, practicing this magic also consumes magic power. Whether practicing or fully performing the magic, the magic power consumed is not small.
Especially for a little demon like Xu Zhenfeng who is only at the first level of the yellow rank, his demonic power is limited. Most of them will run out of demonic power after practicing a dozen times and then trying to use it a dozen times.
Once the demonic power is exhausted, one can only wait for it to slowly recover before continuing to study and experiment.
The demon power of the demon race is actually deeper than the power of human magic, but the biggest difference between the demon magic and that of humans is that every time they practice, the demon power consumed in simulated performance is the same as the demon power consumed in real performance.
The human race practices simple magic. They can simulate and perform it dozens or hundreds of times a day. If they work harder, they can practice it hundreds of times.
The demons practiced magic, no matter what magic it was, and could test it out more than a dozen times a day before becoming exhausted.
Xu Zhenfeng spent a long while in the stone house pondering how to mobilize and stimulate the demonic power for a concentrated attack.
Then, he tried to mobilize all the demonic power in his body in the stone house without knowing his own limitations, and concentrated it into one point, then sent it out towards the stone wall with all his strength.
As he fiercely struck the stone wall with both palms, a surge of force erupted from his palms, and only a loud bang was heard.
After a burst of smoke, Xu Zhenfeng realized that the palm he struck out actually caused the entire stone wall to collapse.
Not only that, even the two connected walls next to it shook a few times and then collapsed.
Just as he was still stunned, a team of personal soldiers came running down from the city wall, each holding a magic sword, and looked at Xu Zhenfeng without saying a word.
Xu Zhenfeng didn’t know how to explain it. He was just trying out his magic, so why did this happen?
Not long after, Lang Wentian also ran over panting. He ran behind the collapsed stone wall, stood in the middle of a pile of rubble, and looked at Xu Zhenfeng.
"Little guy, what are you doing?"
When that group of demon soldiers pointed their demon swords at him, Xu Zhenfeng didn't dare to speak.
After a lot of effort, I saw Lang Wentian bringing people here and hurried to explain.
"Reporting to the general, I was just... just practicing magic. I didn't expect the magic to be so powerful. I didn't expect to succeed in my first practice. It's my fault. Please punish me, general."
Xu Zhenfeng simply admitted his mistake.
After hearing what Xu Zhenfeng said, Lang Wentian was a little confused. He thought for a while, then asked dryly, "You said this was your first time practicing magic? And you knocked down this stone house?"
Xu Zhenfeng raised his head and looked at Lang Wentian innocently, "Reporting to the general, this is indeed my first time practicing magic, but I really didn't expect that this magic would be so powerful. It's my fault."
Lang Wentian stepped over a pile of rocks and walked in front of Xu Zhenfeng, looking at him with some doubt in his eyes.
"You said that this was your first time practicing witchcraft and you destroyed this stone house?"
Xu Zhenfeng lowered his head even lower, "It's all my fault. I didn't expect this magic to be so powerful. I will never dare to practice magic in the stone house again."
Lang Wentian looked at Xu Zhenfeng's expression, which gradually began to change. Finally, he slapped Xu Zhenfeng's shoulders with both hands as if he had seen a priceless treasure. "Hahaha, good boy, you are amazing."
As he said that, he pulled Xu Zhenfeng in front of him and said, "You can have such power in your first time practicing magic. You kid, hahaha, not bad, not bad..."
Lang Wentian laughed heartily with great satisfaction. He waved his hand, signaling the alert demon soldiers to retreat, and his personal soldiers gathered around him.
Lang Buyan was also among them. There was a mixture of joy and doubt in his eyes as he looked at Xu Zhenfeng. Naturally, he couldn't say anything in front of Lang Wentian.
Xu Zhenfeng was still terrified. He thought that he had destroyed the general's residence on the city wall by practicing sorcery, and he was afraid that he had caused a disaster.
Seeing that Lang Wentian was not angry but happy instead, he vaguely realized something in his heart.
"Your Highness, I just figured out a little about the principle of sorcery and just wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect it would cause such a big disaster. I deserve to die."
He had another guess in his mind, but he still wanted to test it out.
"What deserves to die? Don't talk nonsense. There are no monsters in my monster clan that deserve to die. There are only monsters that die at the wrong place and at the wrong time.
Originally, I thought that you were just naturally gifted, but I didn't expect that your first attempt at magic would be so powerful. This shows that your talent has far exceeded my expectations.
"Little guy, your talent is much better than mine. When I first practiced this magic, it took me several days to perform it. Even if I performed it, it was not as powerful as yours."
The more Lang Wentian spoke, the more excited he became. He walked around the pile of rocks, then glanced left and right at the three empty sides of the wall that had collapsed to the ground. He suddenly howled towards the sky.
After a burst of shrill howls that sounded like the death of thousands of demons, Lang Wentian finally felt satisfied.
He returned to Xu Zhenfeng and pulled him up, "Come on, I'll take you to the martial arts arena, and you have to perform a concentrated attack for me again."
Xu Zhenfeng was pulled by him and ran involuntarily. He came down from the city wall in a short while and ran to a martial arts field in a camp.
Lang Wentian let go of his hand, walked more than ten feet away, and said to him, "Come on, use your concentrated force attack on me again."
Xu Zhenfeng was in a dilemma. He had just used a concentrated attack to destroy the general's residence, and now he had to do it again to the general?
However, thinking that Lang Wentian was one of the great monsters in Monster Mountain after all, a little monster like himself, who was only at the first level of Yellow Rank, would not be able to cause any harm to Lang Wentian even if he used all his strength.
Xu Zhenfeng reviewed in his mind what had happened before and after he performed the concentrated force attack on the city wall. Then he took a deep breath, and gathered all the demonic power in his body into his palms. Then, he slapped his hands out fiercely, his palms facing Lang Wentian.
Another overwhelming force erupted from his palm.
Lang Wentian stood steadily. Just in case, he gathered some demonic energy between his chest and abdomen.
An enormous force cut through the air, and between Lang Wentian and Xu Zhenfeng, two palm-shaped, translucent, almost tangible forces struck Lang Wentian's chest like thunder.
The personal soldiers surrounding the martial arts field only heard a loud bang, and Lang Wentian was still standing firmly in the same place. The heart-pounding power all fell on his chest. He remained calm and just looked at Xu Zhenfeng calmly.
Seeing this, Xu Zhenfeng couldn't help but admire him. A big demon is a big demon. He used all his strength to cast a spell on him, but it was like a breeze blowing by, and it didn't hurt him at all.
