The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Under the protection of Ling'er, Xiaoyan, Ziling, and Xingchen, the Jianghu appears peaceful, yet a turbulent undercurrent surges. After her adventure in the City of Phantoms, Ling'er's understanding of magic has reached a new level, but she also knows that the world of magic is boundless and she still has a long way to go. To explore the deeper mysteries of magic, she decides to leave the Jianghu for a while and travel to a mysterious place—the source of magic.

Legend has it that the source of magic lies hidden in a distant, misty forest, teeming with unknown dangers and challenges. But Ling'er, undaunted, embarks on a journey with unwavering faith. As she journeys through the misty forest, she encounters all sorts of bizarre magical creatures and traps. One time, she accidentally triggers a magical trap and is swept into a mysterious realm by a powerful force.

In this dimension, Ling'er encountered a mysterious old man. His white hair and deep eyes seemed to hold infinite wisdom. He told Ling'er that the source of magic she sought was not easy to find, requiring her to overcome a series of trials and challenges. Ling'er humbly sought the old man's advice, and he recounted some of the legends and secrets surrounding the source of magic.

It turns out that the Source of Magic is the core of magical power, possessing the power of both creation and destruction. In the past, the struggle for the Source of Magic ignited devastating wars, leaving countless people devastated. To prevent such tragedies from happening again, the Source of Magic has been sealed in a mysterious realm, accessible only through a specific test.

Ling'er's faith in the old man's words strengthened. She decided to accept the old man's test and seek the source of magic for the sake of peace and justice in the martial arts world. The old man set three tests for Ling'er: a test of courage, a test of wisdom, and a test of the heart.

The first test was one of courage. The old man led Ling'er to a fiery cave. The cave was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, and the flames burned fiercely, seemingly consuming everything. The old man told Ling'er that she must pass through this cave to enter the next test. Ling'er hesitated as she gazed at the fiery cave before her. But she remembered her mission and responsibility, so she mustered her courage and entered the cave.

Inside the cave, Ling'er felt unprecedented heat and pressure. Flames continuously surged toward her, singeing her clothes and hair. But Ling'er didn't flinch. She harnessed her magical powers to form a protective shield around her, shielding her from the flames. After a difficult struggle, Ling'er finally passed through the fiery cave, successfully completing the test of courage.

The second test was a test of wisdom. The old man led Ling'er to a mysterious maze filled with various traps and mechanisms. He told Ling'er she had to escape within a specified timeframe to proceed to the next test. Ling'er felt a wave of nervousness as she gazed at the maze before her. However, she quickly calmed down and began to carefully observe the maze's structure and the patterns of its mechanisms.

After some reflection and exploration, Ling'er discovered some of the maze's secrets. Using her magical powers, she deciphered some of the traps and mechanisms, gradually finding a way out. Within the allotted time, Ling'er successfully navigated the maze, completing the test of wisdom.

The third test was a test of the heart. The old man took Ling'er to a small cottage by a tranquil lake. He told her she must stay alone in the cottage for three days and three nights, reflecting on her heart and life. Ling'er entered the cottage, sat on the bed, and began to reflect on her past, present, and future.

Over these three days and nights, Ling'er experienced inner struggle and pain. She recalled her experiences in the martial arts world, she experienced both laughter and tears. She pondered her mission and responsibilities, as well as her pursuit and understanding of magic. In this process, Ling'er gradually understood what she truly desired.

After three days and three nights, Ling'er walked out of the hut, her eyes more determined and confident. The old man looked at Ling'er and nodded with satisfaction. He told Ling'er that she had passed all the tests and could now go to the source of magic.

Ling'er thanked the old man gratefully and then set out on a journey to the source of magic. After a difficult journey, Ling'er finally found the source of magic. The source of magic was a huge ball of energy that emitted a dazzling light and contained infinite magical power.

Ling'er stood before the Source of Magic, feeling its power and mystery. She knew she shouldered a heavy responsibility and must wield the power of the Source with caution. She closed her eyes, concentrated, and began to absorb the power of the Source.

In the process of absorbing the power of the source of magic, Ling'er felt a strong energy flowing into her body. Her magical power was greatly enhanced, and she also gained a deeper understanding of the nature of magic.

After Ling'er absorbed the power of the source of magic, she discovered that her body had undergone some changes. She emanated a mysterious light, and her eyes revealed an otherworldly aura. Ling'er knew that she had become a true master of magic.

After leaving the source of magic, Ling'er decided to return to the Jianghu. She knew there was still much for her to do and many people to help. On her way back, Ling'er encountered some Jianghu people. Seeing the mysterious aura emanating from Ling'er, they were filled with awe and curiosity.

Ling'er ignored their gazes and continued on her way. When she returned to the Jianghu, she discovered some changes. Conflicts and fights had broken out between some of the sects, causing chaos in the Jianghu. Ling'er decided to intervene and mediate the conflict.

Thanks to Ling'er's efforts, the conflicts between some martial arts sects were eased, and the order of the martial arts world gradually returned to normal. Ling'er's name once again spread throughout the martial arts world, and people were full of admiration and gratitude for her.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyan learned a lot from her interactions with Xuanfeng. She realized that while her new herbal remedy had some efficacy, it still needed constant improvement and refinement. So, she decided to collaborate with Xuanfeng to research a better treatment.

Zi Ling and Xing Chen also continued their adventures and growth in the martial arts world. They constantly improved their martial arts and strength, contributing their own strength to the peace and justice of the martial arts world.

The situation in the martial arts world is still unpredictable, but the stories of Ling'er, Xiaoyan, Ziling, Xingchen and others will be passed down forever in the martial arts world and become legends in people's hearts.
