Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Lin Xi understood that he was about to give out another benefit. At the same time, Lin Xi suddenly felt the air temperature rising and couldn't help but look up.
In her sight, she saw Huo Yuhao's fair palm, on which he held a plant. It was a red, trembling, soft, and delicate plant. It looked very simple, only composed of red leaves. The top of the leaves was like a cockscomb, a golden-red color.
Feeling the heat of this medicinal herb, Lin Xi's Martial Soul suddenly trembled, as if it was craving this herb.
But Lin Xi still suppressed this craving. She only said respectfully, "Please take it back, Young Master. The treasures you gave me before were already a great kindness. How could Lin Xi dare to ask for more?"
Lin Xi wasn't stupid. Just from the trembling of her Martial Soul, she knew that this herb was no less valuable than the one she had taken before. However, she felt it was improper to receive such a precious item again without any contribution.
Huo Yuhao had been watching Lin Xi's expression. Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, he was very satisfied. After all, no one liked ungrateful people.
"Take it. Only by becoming stronger can you help me better. Consider it my advance payment for your salary. Besides, a treasure is only a treasure when it can be used. Otherwise, am I supposed to let it gather dust?"
"But..." Huo Yuhao's words made sense, and Lin Xi was also a little tempted, but she was still somewhat embarrassed. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
"Alright, just take it." Huo Yuhao said, forcing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower into Lin Xi's hands. He then explained, "This is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Don't chew it. Swallow it directly. Then, circulate your Soul Power to guide it. Endure the pain, no matter how intense it becomes, or you'll have wasted your efforts."
Huo Yuhao took a step forward, and disappeared. But his voice echoed back.
"Absorb it in peace. No one will disturb you."
"Thank you for the gift, Young Master." Lin Xi held the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in both hands and bowed slightly towards where Huo Yuhao had disappeared. Then, without further ado, she sat back down in her original position and began to absorb and fuse it, as Huo Yuhao had instructed.
On the other side, although Huo Yuhao had returned to the bamboo hut, his mental power was still focused on Lin Xi. If anything unexpected were to happen, he could appear there instantly.
At Shrek Academy, Wang Dong arrived at the vast Sea God Lake. After looking around and seeing no other students, he began his preparations. His goal was to test his own Three Martial Souls Fusion Skill.
A powder-blue Light Goddess Butterfly, a jet-black Clear Sky Hammer, and a seductive, long-haired Sea God, the three God-Tier Martial Souls, appeared behind Wang Dong. Then, the three Martial Souls each transformed into a ball of blue-pink light, jet-black light, and aquamarine light, which then collided with each other.
The three differently colored balls of light fused and intertwined. Gradually, a large cocoon emitting blue, pink, and black light took shape, and a grand and imposing aura began to rise.
Wang Dong's face was flushed red, beads of sweat pouring down his forehead. Activating the Three Martial Souls Fusion Skill had instantly drained eighty percent of his Soul Power, and it was still going, with no sign of stopping. If this continued, he would be exhausted before the Martial Soul Fusion Skill even formed.
In the center of the Sea God Lake, within the Golden Ancient Tree of Sea God Island, a group of elders sensed the extraordinary aura. Their gazes all turned towards Wang Dong.
"This is... the aura of a God-Tier Martial Soul?" On his recliner, Mu En's old eyes slightly opened a crack, his cloudy gaze also falling on Wang Dong.
The three-colored light cocoon trembled slightly, as if something was about to break out. However, at this moment, Wang Dong, the one initiating the fusion, couldn't hold on any longer. The consumption of the three God-Tier Martial Souls was too great. Wang Dong's Soul Power had completely dried up, unable to squeeze out another drop. Without the continued input of Soul Power, the three-colored light cocoon suddenly shattered, reverting to the three original Martial Souls: Light Goddess Butterfly, Clear Sky Hammer, and Sea God. Then, the three Martial Souls directly returned to Wang Dong's body.
"Huff, huff, huff!" Wang Dong collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, his body soaked in sweat. The Soul Power consumed by the God-Tier Martial Soul Fusion Skill was too vast, something he couldn't possibly handle at his current level. Conservatively estimating, Wang Dong figured he would need to reach at least Soul Sage before he had a chance of successfully using it.
In the bamboo forest behind the Body Sect's mountain, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's face as he lay in bed.
After taking the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Lin Xi's flames, as expected, had risen to the extreme level, and her Soul Power had also increased to level seventy. As long as she obtained a Soul Ring, she could break through to Soul Sage. At that point, Lin Xi would officially enter the ranks of high-level Soul Masters.
However, none of this surprised Huo Yuhao. What truly shocked him was that after taking the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Lin Xi's fire spirit Martial Soul had changed from a flame spirit body to a physical form.
The final form was a beautiful bird, with ruby-like, sharp eyes and a sharp beak that was intimidating to behold. Its posture was upright and strong, its body covered in crimson-orange feathers, and as it danced and hovered in the air, it was like a leaping flame. Wherever it went, it radiated light, illuminating the earth below.
Its size was small, but it emitted a terrifying, ancient, and desolate aura, as if it wanted to suppress the heavens and destroy the firmament.
This divine and handsome bird made Huo Yuhao think of a legendary existence, the Sacred Beast Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird).
The Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird), one of the four spirits of the heavens in ancient mythology, originated from the worship of ancient constellations. The Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird) represented the Yan Emperor and the southern seven constellations, the god of the south. In the Eight Trigrams, it was Li; in the five elements, it was fire, symbolizing the old yang in the four symbols and the summer in the four seasons.
At the same time, it was also the southern land of the heavens, the south belonging to fire. The totem of the Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird) and other birds often belonged to sun worship in ancient mythology.
There were also records of the Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird) in the Douluo Continent. The Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird) was a primordial god, on par with the Phoenix and the giant dragon. Many people confused the Phoenix and the Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird), and some even said that the Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird) was a descendant of the Phoenix, which was purely nonsense. They were clearly two different species.
But in any case, the legends described the Zhu Que (Vermilion Bird) as extremely powerful. Being a primordial god was not just a figure of speech.
But after transforming into a human Martial Soul, it was uncertain how much of its original strength remained. Huo Yuhao had fought with Xu Sanshi, who also had a Sacred Beast Martial Soul, and that guy was really bad. He didn't know what changes there would be now that his Martial Soul had evolved into Xuan Wu (Black Tortoise).
However, Huo Yuhao felt that Lin Xi's Zhu Que Martial Soul was quite impressive, at least stronger than Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix. He didn't know what caused Lin Xi to evolve into a Zhu Que. Whether her original Martial Soul had the potential to evolve into a Zhu Que or if it was the effect of the Zhu Blood Bodhi, it was impossible to know.
After all, Zhu Blood Bodhi, and the word "Zhu Blood," did make one think. But none of that mattered.
"Very good. I will arrange for someone to help you obtain your seventh Soul Ring in the next few days. Your Soul Power has increased too quickly, so to prevent your foundation from becoming unstable, you must refine and consolidate it carefully. Do not be impatient."
"Understood, Young Master." Hearing Huo Yuhao's voice transmission, Lin Xi was slightly stunned before nodding. She also understood that her Soul Power had risen too quickly.
