Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 5 Deng Chanyu vs Tai Luan
A month has passed since Deng Chanyu obtained the Phoenix clone.

After all, she did not explore deeply into the mountain range that hid the secret of the Five-Colored Stone. If one has strength, the benefits gained are called opportunities, but if one does not have strength, the benefits gained are called disasters.

After the clone stably entered the [Fledgling] stage, it fed back to her all kinds of benefits. When bathing, one could see the scars on her body accumulated from years of martial arts training gradually disappearing, her body proportions became more perfect, her skin was as white as jade, and her seemingly white palms seemed to contain enormous power.

The spiritual energy in the red fruit allowed the clone to take a big step from the [fledgling] stage to the [young bird] stage.

Ordinary food has too many impurities, and the clone no longer needs to eat it.

At the current stage, what the clone needs most are the four elements that remain from the ancient times after the creation of the world, namely earth, fire, water and wind.

Some of these things may be kept in the hands of Laozi and Tongtian Sect Master. Do you want Deng Chanyu to go and find them?

There is definitely no hope for earth, fire, water and wind, but the acquired energy of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth can be absorbed.

Deng Chanyu took out more than 30 bamboos from the Deng family's warehouse. These bamboos had two kinds of spiritual energy, fire and gold. In order to make her clone grow as quickly as possible, she chewed the bamboos every day and then fed them to her. She was so tired of chewing that she felt like moving.

It was almost time to finish eating the bamboo in a month, but unexpectedly, when Aunt Huang heard the maid say that she liked to take a bath with bamboo, she immediately chatted with her happily, saying that there were many islands in the sea thousands of miles away in the south where this kind of bamboo could be found. The Deng family caravan went back and forth twice a year. If you want it, I can't say anything else, but I will definitely give you enough bamboo.

Deng Chanyu was a little overwhelmed. She changed into a set of soft armor and came to the training ground early. She wanted to beat someone!
"Too light!" She weighed the iron spear in her hand, held it with one hand, danced with it casually, and then shook her head.

The captain wondered what Miss Deng was up to today. "Don't you usually use two swords? Why are you thinking of using a long weapon today?"
Deng Chanyu did not explain. She no longer liked the double swords used by her predecessor. The swords were too light and not suitable for her to use after her strength increased.

As she is still making a living in the circle of military generals, she has a clear advantage in using long weapons.

The captain signaled the soldiers to bring a broadsword, but she still felt it was too light. Besides, her father used a broadsword, her brother used a broadsword, and the Deng family's vanguard used a broadsword. Why would she use a broadsword? Are we the Broadsword Gang?

"Too light, too light!"

The soldiers brought her two sledgehammers, but Deng Chanyu didn't even try them. She just rolled her eyes and said, "Have you ever seen a female general use a sledgehammer? To me, you look like a hammer!"
In the end, Deng Chanyu chose a Fang Tian Hua Ji.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji weighs thirty-six pounds, which is almost the weight of a bucket of water.

Even if it's heavy, it can still be used, but it's inconvenient. It's great like this now. You see me holding a halberd, but I'm actually a hidden weapon expert! You think I'm only good at hidden weapons? I can also poke a hole in you with my Fang Tian Hua Ji!
Hearing that she wanted to change weapons, Deng Jiugong and his eldest son, Deng Xiu, Deng Chanyu's brother, hurried over to watch.

Deng Jiugong was not very good at halberd techniques, but he knew the basic usage, including chopping, splitting, thrusting and stabbing, and he could teach Deng Chanyu several aspects.

Old Deng raised his halberd and shouted, "Look! This is the Azure Dragon coming out of the sea!"

The halberd blade stretched out as his arm, rushed forward a bit, and then slashed upwards at an angle.

"This is the creation of the world!" With the left hand in front and the right hand behind, the halberd chopped down on the head.

"This is the Green Dragon Crossing the River!" He turned his wrist and swept the halberd across the front.

Deng Chanyu: “.”

Just hearing the names of these moves sounds like sword techniques! They look even more like it!
Old Deng finished performing a set of moves called Halberd Techniques, which were actually sword techniques. He stood proudly, halberd in one hand, and stroked his long beard. "How well have you remembered, son? Do you want me to practice it again?"

Halberd techniques inherently possess many of the characteristics of sword techniques, so his moves are no problem. Deng Chanyu has a Phoenix clone. Birds are known for their sharp eyes, not to mention the Phoenix. Her eyes are now similar to the Sharingan, and she can remember ordinary moves after just one look.

"I will practice it once, please give me some advice, father."

She held the halberd and imitated Lao Deng, slashing and sweeping all the way. She was fighting with great enthusiasm, and some of the fighting memories of the Phoenix clan were awakened. Many human martial arts originated from wild beasts. At this time, in addition to the original four-word strategy of chopping, splitting, picking and stabbing, she integrated the skills of birds hunting prey and added pecking, hooking and cutting.

"Huh?" Old Deng was a bit surprised. Was his daughter's martial arts talent so high? When he had taught his daughter the dual swords, he hadn't really thought it was impressive, just acceptable. What was going on now?
Could it be that my daughter is particularly good at using long weapons such as the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which is relatively difficult to use?

As an observer, he could see that Deng Chanyu's moves were not refined enough, there was no connection between the moves, and the shortcomings were obvious, but these shortcomings were from Old Deng's perspective.

Facing the joint attack of Huang Feihu and Nezha, Lao Deng was able to hold on for dozens of moves without being defeated. If Nezha did not use the magic weapon Qiankun Circle, he would not be able to defeat Lao Deng at all. He is one of the world's top military generals, with a vision different from ordinary people.

From an ordinary person's perspective, Deng Chanyu danced with her Fang Tian Hua Ji with murderous intent, like a complete meat grinder on the battlefield.

The eldest brother Deng Xiu looked at the big knife in his hand, and then looked at the long spear that his sister was waving, which was so waterproof that it could not penetrate. He felt a little puzzled. Could he beat such a sister?

"Okay, Miss Deng's martial arts are extraordinary. I would like to learn a few moves from you." A tall man with a face like a live crab and a yellow beard under his chin walked out of the crowd. Without waiting for Deng Chanyu to answer, he took a long sword from the weapon rack.

Deng Chanyu recognized the other man and knew that he was Old Deng's favorite general. She said generously, "Okay, let's fight!"

Old Deng glanced at her secretly.

She could only cough twice in a pretentious manner: "Ahem, well, General Tailuan is willing to teach me. I am very grateful. General, please!"

"Miss Deng, please!"

Deng Chanyu held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in her hand and swung it towards Tai Luan with fierce momentum.

Tai Luan moved quickly and slashed out with a powerful blade at an angle.

Deng Chanyu quickly dodged to the side and pressed down with the long spear in her hand.

Tai Luan stood firmly on his feet and raised his sword to block. The weapons of both sides collided with each other, making a crisp metallic sound.

The two men each used their unique skills to fight quickly, and for a moment it was unclear who had the upper hand.

Deng Chanyu suddenly turned around and jumped up, using the hunting skills of birds, and drew an arc with her long spear, slashing towards Tai Luan.

Tai Luan originally wanted to laugh. Jumping up in the middle of a fight was actually a sign of a novice. Many generals understood the principle of "don't leap, don't leap, don't leap", but he didn't expect Deng Chanyu's move to be so fast and fierce. The fierce murderous aura was overwhelming him. He could only hold the hilt of the sword, roll over, and quickly fall to the ground. The halberd hit the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

Seeing Deng Chanyu's momentum had passed, Tai Luan abruptly stood up, his long sword swung suddenly, spinning into a phantom of dancing metal, and a dazzling blade of light slashed behind him. Deng Chanyu sensed danger and advanced instead of retreating. He spun his body, holding the halberd in both arms and sweeping rapidly. With a loud "crack," Tai Luan's long sword was shattered head-on.

"Miss Deng is a skilled martial artist. I admire her."

"It was General Tailuan who gave in to me. The general is broad-minded and admirable."
