Chapter 39: Resolute.
After arriving at Hanhai City, the westernmost city on the continent, Xiao Fei began to reflect on his past achievements and future plans.
Xiao Fei's fifth soul skill, called Phoenix Heaven Shaking Strike, is an extremely powerful single-target attack.
When using this skill, his entire body transforms into a flaming phoenix, increasing his attack power, speed, strength, and defense by 200%. Using this skill consumes 20% of his soul power. It's similar to a charged attack, but this one is instantaneous.
The greatest advantage of this soul skill is that it can be used simultaneously with his third and fourth soul skills, without any side effects. With this skill, Xiao Fei can even single-handedly challenge a Soul Sage.
The fifth soul ring offers Xiao Fei an even greater advantage: all four of his limbs can now transform into phoenixes without using any soul skills.
Only his torso and head remain unable to transform, but Xiao Fei estimates that once he absorbs the seventh soul ring, his entire body will be transformed into a phoenix.
The next best thing is his Qilin Arm martial spirit. He has absorbed soul rings beyond his capacity five times in a row, each time cleansing his Qilin Arm with its power.
The Qilin Arm seemed to have awakened a second time, but without a spirit ring, the exact change in power was unknown. He only suspected that the Qilin Arm's power was fifty percent greater than his left hand's in all aspects. It should now rival some high-level spirits.
Finally, there were the two external spirit bones, which should have reached the fifty-thousand-year level.
Xiao Fei glanced at the sea, feeling the water's influence on him. His spirit was the Fire Phoenix, a pure fire attribute, completely opposed to the Sea God's position. His only target now was the Asura God.
Whether it was for the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core, the Killing God's Domain, or the Asura God's inheritance, a trip to Slaughter City was essential.
Tang San might also be heading to Slaughter City in another year, so he had to beat him to it, or Slaughter City would be gone. Although Tang San didn't have the Snow Swan Kiss yet, there was no guarantee he'd resort to other poisons.
Having made up his mind, he stopped dwelling on it.
For the next few days, Xiao Fei and the other two explored Hanhai City. The Shanghai City's fighting arena was held underwater, designed for sea spirit masters.
However, the suppression of attribute soul masters was extremely great, and several people lost interest after participating in a few games.
That day, the three of them sat together. Xiao Fei calmed down and thought about it, then carefully felt Huo Lie's spiritual power and said to Huo Lie, "Teacher Huo Lie, please come out for a moment."
Sure enough, Huo Lie appeared a few moments later.
Xiao Fei's eyes were serious as he asked, "Teacher Huo Lie, do you know where the entrance to Slaughter City is?"
Huo Lie's eyes widened at Xiao Fei's words, and he said to Xiao Fei, "What do you want to do? Do you want to go to Slaughter City? You can only enter there, not leave."
Xiao Fei said calmly, "I know that, but I have reasons I have to go."
Huo Lie also said, "Whatever your reasons are, and I don't care how you know about Slaughter City, it's still too dangerous. Normal people wouldn't go there, only those who are desperate. And no one has ever come out of there."
Xiao Fei said, "Two years. Give me two years, and I will definitely be able to get out of Slaughter City. And who says no one has ever come out of there? There are only two people in the world who have walked out of Slaughter City."
Huo Lie asked in confusion, "Why haven't I heard of anyone walking out of Slaughter City?"
Xiao Fei said calmly, "Of course people have. Pope Bibi Dong and Tang Hao both came out of Slaughter City."
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, standing nearby, looked puzzled. Huo Wu asked, "Dad, what exactly is the Slaughter City?"
Huo Lie thought for a moment and said, "It's the darkest place in the world. It's where the Spirit Hall imprisons those who have committed unforgivable crimes.
They say the only way to survive there is through endless killing. Even Titled Douluo who've gone in can't get out."
Xiao Fei continued, "Teacher Huo Lie, I really have a reason to go in. Don't worry, I'll definitely get out."
Huo Wu gritted her teeth and said, "If we get there, we'll go together."
Xiao Fei shook his head and said, "No, you can't go. The Slaughter City is a divinely forbidden place. No one there can use spirit skills, and there's endless slaughter. I have a way to get out. If you go, you really won't be able to get out."
Huo Lie finally gritted his teeth and said, "You can go, but you have to prove you can get out alive."
Xiao Fei raised his right hand, and five steel claws extended. Then he said, "Although the Slaughter City restricts the use of spirit skills, it does not restrict the use of spirit bones.
My external spirit bone is now fifty thousand years old and is practically indestructible. I also have other means."
In the end, Huo Lie was unable to win over Xiao Fei and decided to take Xiao Fei to the entrance of the Slaughter City.
This time, the four of them traveled by carriage, and the entire journey was silent.
As they neared the entrance to the Slaughter City, Huo Wu said, "Xiao Fei, I will wait for you at Blazing Fire Academy for three years. If you don't return after three years, I will go to the Slaughter City to find you. If you do, I will be your girlfriend." Then, she walked over and embraced Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei embraced Huo Wu, his eyes firm, and said, "Sister Huo Wu, wait for me for three years. I will definitely come out within three years, and then I will marry you."
Xiao Fei turned to Huo Lie and said, "Teacher Huo Lie, please go back and tell the dean that Blazing Fire Academy is only a place for teaching and educating people. We must not offend the Spirit Hall."
Without looking back, he walked towards the village ahead.
Huo Wushuang patted Huo Wu's shoulder and said, "I'm sure Xiao Fei must have a reason to go, and that reason must be related to us. We can only practice harder so that we can fight alongside Xiao Fei in the future and not fall too far behind him."
Huo Wu, tears streaming down her face, said, "Actually, I know Xiao Fei has always liked me and has given me a lot of help. Without him, I would never be as strong as I am now.
However, most of the time, I feel Xiao Fei's powerlessness and his constant fear of something. So Xiao Fei is always striving to become stronger, and we must also become stronger."
After hearing this, the three of them turned their heads and walked towards Blazing Academy with a determined look on their faces.
