Chapter 51: The Land of Inheritance
After reading the inscription on the wall, the three sighed. It seemed the Divine Fire Sect must be the ancestor of the Huo family.
Huo Wu suddenly asked, "Where's the inheritance? Could it be up those stairs?" Huo Wushuang and Xiao Fei nodded, clearly believing the divine fire in the figure's hand was the inheritance.
After some discussion, the three decided to begin climbing the stairs. Xiao Fei thought the stairs were somewhat similar to the Sea God's Light on Sea God Island, but that had 1,000 steps, while this one only had 100.
Furthermore, this staircase seemed only suitable for fire-attributed spirit masters, while the Sea God's Light was all-encompassing, suitable for everyone.
The first patriarch of the Fire God Sect must have visited Sea God Island and created a knockoff of the Sea God's Light.
The three climbed diligently, each using their own unique skills. Huo Wu finally reached step 72, Huo Wushuang reached step 74, and Xiao Fei reached step 84. From there, they could barely move forward, so they returned to the bottom of the stairs.
Huo Wu looked frustrated. "Why am I at the highest level of soul power, yet I'm climbing the lowest steps?"
Xiao Fei pondered for a moment and said, "The inheritance tower should correspond to the limits of the body's endurance and soul power. Huo Wushuang has a beast spirit, and her physical strength is higher than yours, so she can climb higher. This step is probably related to our actual abilities. Moreover, as a control-type, Huo Wu is at a disadvantage compared to the attack-type Huo Wushuang."
Huo Wushuang heard this and nodded. Suddenly, seeing Huo Wu's sinister gaze, he shook his head decisively, leaving Xiao Fei speechless.
Huo Wushuang said, "We can't reach the top of the steps, and we can't get the treasure. What should we do?"
Xiao Fei smiled and said, "This step is the best treasure. The fire element on it was generated by that divine fire. Practicing on it will accelerate our progress."
Huo Wushuang nodded and said, "Yes, just now, when I was on the steps, I felt that the soul power in my body was circulating faster, and it seemed to promote the growth of the fire element in our bodies."
The three of them then practiced on the steps that suited them best.
Before they knew it, Xiao Fei and the other two had been in the Divine Fire Tower for almost a year. During this year, their soul powers had increased rapidly.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang had both reached Soul Sage and obtained their own soul rings in the Undying Volcano. Huo Wu had reached level 73, Huo Wushuang had reached level 72, and Xiao Fei had reached level 68.
These extreme attributes were truly slow. No matter how hard Xiao Fei tried, his soul power couldn't keep up with Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's.
Lately, Xiao Fei had been debating whether to use Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to reach the final two levels of Soul Sage. With the energy contained in Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a two-level increase in soul power should be no problem.
However, Xiao Fei had already used the Immortal Grass, and repeated use would likely affect his foundation and make his soul power inflated.
Xiao Fei felt that the final two levels before Soul Sage might take two or three years to achieve. In fact, achieving the final level could bring about a true qualitative transformation in his flame.
However, he was completely unaware of the current situation outside. He had no idea what the situation was like at Blazing Fire Academy or across the continent.
Seeing Xiao Fei's recent impatience and worry, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were a little worried. Huo Wushuang ordered Huo Wushuang to continue practicing, while she and Xiao Fei relaxed in the Divine Fire, which made Huo Wushuang very depressed.
In the Divine Fire Sect, Xiao Fei and Huo Wu held hands and walked quietly on the road. When they reached a broken wall, they sat down and Huo Wu leaned her head on Xiao Fei's shoulder. The two were silent the whole time. Xiao Fei didn't say anything, and Huo Wu didn't ask anything. It seemed that the two of them had a tacit understanding.
They stayed like this for a long time. Xiao Fei looked at Huo Wu's beautiful face and fiery red lips, and couldn't help but kiss her. The two closed their eyes and touched their lips.
At this moment, there was only each other in their world. There were no worldly disputes, no soul power levels, no various mundane things. The two only had each other, and the moment seemed eternal.
Huo Wu snuggled in Xiao Fei's arms, and the two of them lay in silence.
Duddenly, Huo Wu said, "Xiao Fei, your grandpa told me about your situation. Your progress will be slow before level 70, but after that, your soul power will grow very rapidly. You'll reach level 70 in two years at most. Then your soul power will catch up."
Xiao Fei gently stroked Huo Wu's hair and said, "Sister Huo Wu, I know my body better than anyone else, and I understand the cruelty of this world. I only wish to become stronger so I can better protect you. I hope that others won't see us as ants ready to be crushed at any moment."
Huo Wu softly said, "No matter what happens, I will be with you, no matter where we are."
The two returned to the Divine Fire Tower. Huo Wushuang glanced at them and continued his training.
Xiao Fei didn't go up the steps to practice, but sat at the foot of the tower, meditating quietly. Suddenly, Xiao Fei opened his eyes, as if he had made a resolution. He then pulled out a jade box from his Phoenix Ring. Inside was a sunflower, resembling a cockscomb, like flames.
This was also the most important magical herb to Xiao Fei: the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang quickly joined Xiao Fei, silently observing him and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in his hands.
Ever since he'd taken the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower out, Xiao Fei had sensed a tinge of desire within his Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit.
Without a word, Xiao Fei swallowed the entire Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Instead of the pain he'd imagined, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower felt gentle, gradually merging into Xiao Fei's body, his Martial Spirit, his bloodline, his soul.
Everything seemed perfectly natural, like a perfect union. A ball of lightning flashed in the sky outside the Divine Fire Tower, as if Xiao Fei's Martial Spirit was being rejected by the world.
Three hours later, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower had been completely absorbed by Xiao Fei, and his Martial Spirit seemed to have undergone a transformation.
He summoned his own Martial Spirit, which, in addition to the power of fire, seemed to emanate a divine aura. The Fire Phoenix had finally transformed into a divine-level Martial Spirit. Xiao Fei had also reached Level 70.
Seeing Xiao Fei's transformation, Huo Wu quickly threw herself into Xiao Fei's arms. She knew that Xiao Fei had succeeded. All the problems that had been bothering her recently were solved.
Huo Wushuang was depressed. After all, his little cabbage was taken away by this kid. Is there really such a way to bully single people?
The two of them sat together again. Huo Wu asked, "Xiao Fei, have you decided which soul beast to choose for your seventh soul ring? What age soul beast should it be?"
Xiao Fei shook his head quietly and said, "Soon, my seventh soul ring should be here soon." After that, Xiao Fei quietly stared into the magma in the distance.
