The Magus Era

Within the purple-red, scorching hot sphere of liquid, nine faint, seemingly gigantic, dragon silhouettes had been soaring and ceaselessly letting out resonant, ear-piercing roars. However, those multicolored flames stably circled the fiery liquid sphere around, crushing and absorbing the fire pearl’s consciousness bit by bit.

A natural holy weapon must have had been nourished by all kinds of essence powers of the earth and the powers of suns and stars for tens of thousands of billions of years, before it formed in a secret cave, that happened to locate in a meridian of the earth. The forming process of every single piece of natural holy weapon, which was magically powerful, required countless years, and in every natural holy weapon piece, ocean-huge, immeasurably great essence powers were contained.

The Nine Dragon Fire Pearl was formed from the fire essence power in the Southern Wasteland; it was a concentration of the natural and raging fire power that came down in the same continuous line as the fire power Ji Hao possessed.

Streams of fire power swooshing inside Ji Hao’s body sounded like the roars of the ocean and the collapsing of the mountains. Within a single moment, tens of Ji Hao’s unawake Magus Acupoints were woken up. Almost inexhaustible fire power released by the fire pearl had been swiftly turning into the purest internal power by those multicolored flames, and filled those newly woken Magus Acupoints up, helping Ji Hao broadening and smoothening those new Magus Acupoints.

Huge streams of pure fire essence power gushed out of the fire liquid sphere into the other unawake Magus Acupoints under the control of Ji Hao’s spirit power, accurately and speedily waking those Magus Acupoints one after another. The move of every stream of fire essence was incredibly accurate and well controlled, just like cutting a single hair with a scalpel. The precision of those fire essence power streams’ had reached an extreme level, such that not even a little bit of power was wasted.

Ordinary Senior Magi, who didn’t have the sense of using spirit power had to try their best to madly flush those unawakened Magus Acupoints with all of their internal powers as hard as they could in order to wake them up. Struck by huge streams of internal powers, the natural septums blocking the opening of those unawakened Magus Acupoints would gradually become thinner and weaker, ultimately breaking down completely. It was only then that internal power would gush into the Magus Acupoints, completely waking them up.

During the above process, those ordinary Senior Magi would not only consume huge amounts of power unnecessarily, but would also waste much time. They needed at least a whole day to fill their own bodies with internal power, and flush a new Magus Acupoint with pure internal power streams over and over again till it finally woke up. For this, they had to severely cultivate with full concentration for three to ten days.

However, Ji Hao was totally different. He scanned his own body with the spirit power and accurately found out the location of every single one of his Magus Acupoints. After that, he controlled that rampant fire essence power streams, which were as sharp as daggers, accurately and swiftly penetrating the septum of those Magus Acupoints; those power streams gushed into those newly woken Magus Acupoints, broadening and smoothening them bit by bit. Absolutely no power and time would be wasted.

Along with that swooshing noise, pure, lava-hot fire essence power ceaselessly had been releasing from that sphere of fire liquid, transferred from the fire pearl. At the same time, more and more Magus Acupoints were woken inside Ji Hao’s body. Within a blink of an eye, the number of newly woken Acupoints had gone beyond a hundred.

A raging flame rose, wrapping Ji Hao’s entire body up, making his body look like a glowing, burning charcoal. Ji Hao’s body then released a dazzlingly bright fiery light and the red rock ground under his feet was melted by the fire that came out of his body. The noise made by Ji Hao went louder and louder. Ji Hao abruptly let out a resonant caw, following which, Mr Crow grabbed his shoulders and rose directly into the air, transforming into a fiery streak in the air and soaring to thousands of feet high immediately.

God knew how many people were staring at Ji Hao before from all angles, after all, that noise was way too loud.

However, once Mr Crow carried Ji Hao and reached a hundred thousand feet high above the ground, both of then suddenly disappeared from the point of view of those spectators. A few people who had pretty good eyesight searched the air with their eyes for quite a while, but none of them could find even a trace of Ji Hao.

Outside the special army’s camp, and on a tall tree, an eagle stood on a branch with a poor look, staring at Yu Yu, who had occupied its nest. Yu Yu comfortably lied in that eagle nest and lazily yawned, as he threw a careless glance at that poor, giant eagle, then waved his sleeve in front of its face. Followed Yu Yu’s move, that eagle instantly fell asleep.

“Good, resolute and determined, he’s indeed a good apprentice of mine.” Yu Yu gave a pleasant look and murmured, “Consuming a natural holy weapon to improve his own power, good, smart kid, very smart. The most essential things should be your own power and cultivation, instead of tools and weapons. Good, good apprentice of mine!”

Tens of thousands of miles away, above a barren mountain area, Ji Hao was surrounded up by huge and dense clouds. Those clouds had transformed into gates, floating in the air, forming a large-scale magic formation. This magic formation had blocked the surrounding space that had a hundred mile radius. This great-scale magic formation was a work of Yu Yu, and no ordinary people could ever notice its existence and see through it.

Ji Hao had been gasping quickly and deeply. From under his skin, large amounts of black liquid gushed out. Every time when a Magus Acupoints woke up, the great natural essence power contained in its septum would soon be absorbed and digested by the body, while impurities contained in it would turn into black liquid and be eliminated from the body.

Two-hundred, three-hundred, four-hundred…

Those multicolored flames had been turning that fire liquid sphere into internal power at a stable speed. The five multicolored flames absorbed a big half of the essence power contained in the fire peal and only left a very small part for Ji Hao.

Nevertheless, the fire pearl was a natural holy weapon that had been nourished by the pure and natural fire essence power for countless years, which meant the amount of pure essence fire power contained in it was way beyond imagination. Therefore, that small part of power Ji Hao had gained was already more than enough for him to improve his own power at an amazing speed and wake all those new Magus Acupoints one after another.

That loud swooshing noise never stopped. Every time after Ji Hao woke a new Magus Acupoint, the total amount of his internal power would rise further. In only two hours, over a thousand new Magus Acupoints had been woken inside Ji Hao’s body, and the amount of his internal power had already reached an incredible level.

On an average, each ordinary Senior Magus had over a hundred meridians that contained inherited power, and the amount of Magus Acupoints contained in each meridian was seventeen to fifty. Therefore, the total number of Magus Acupoints of each ordinary Magus should be around two-thousand to three-thousand. Talented Senior Magi could wake up a new Magus Acupoint in every ten to twenty days, if everything went right.

At this moment, Ji Hao had already woken up over a thousand new Magus Acupoints, which normally would cost an ordinary but talented Senior Magus ten to hundreds of years of severe cultivation.

Burning hot streams of internal power had been surging inside Ji Hao’s body. While continuously improving the condition of the body, all those powers had also given Ji Hao’s body a terrifyingly great pressure. Ji Hao’s solid body began letting out cracking noises. His muscles, tendons and internal organs couldn’t bear the pressure that had been growing greater and greater, and were about to be crushed.

Ji Hao turned his palm around. Along with his move, a gigantic amount of dried meat pieces began flying out of Di Sha’s bangle. That meat was stored for Di Sha’s army. By a single touch of that raging flame roaring around Ji Hao’s body, all that meat was grilled medium rare. Ji Hao then widely opened his mouth, swallowing that meat, which was already minced by the hurricane-like gale blowing around his body.

Large pieces of dried meat continuously flew out of the bangle, was grilled, minced and swallowed by Ji Hao. Multicolored flames absorbed most of the nutrition contained in that meat, while the rest little bit had been replenishing Ji Hao’s body and improving his physical strength at a crazy rate.

More and More Magus Acupoints were waking up while Ji Hao’s internal power and physical strength were improving speedily.

Great spirit power streams had been swishing around Ji Hao’s entire body all the time, accurately controlling every single stream of power inside his body. Instead of becoming extremely tall and muscular like the other human warriors, Ji Hao had only grown five-inch taller and his body remained slim and sturdy.

Faintly, dragon roars came from inside Ji Hao’s body. The waking speed of Ji Hao’s new Magus Acupoints grew faster and faster.

Five-Thousand, six-thousand, seven-thousand…

At last, the eight-thousandth Magus Acupoint was woken up. Dazzling light emitted from Ji Hao’s whole body, making him look like a fiery man, releasing inexhaustible light and heat.

Nevertheless, that sphere of fire liquid transformed from the fire peal didn’t seem to have lost a lot. If Ji Hao wanted, he could use it to wake up another eight-thousand Magus Acupoints quite easily!

Inside Ji Hao’s spirit space, the mysterious man slightly sighed. Along with his sigh, that sphere of fire liquid turned back into the Nine Dragon Fire Pearl, and quickly flew out of Ji Hao’s body, flying around Ji Hao like a happy bird.
