Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 11 Flying

After arriving in Notting City, Xiao Fei went to the Spirit Hall to register again, and this time he was received by Master Matthew again.

As the crystal sparkled, Xiao Fei's soul power level reached 22. Master Matthew invited Xiao Fei again, but Xiao Fei politely declined. Xiao Fei repeatedly stated that he was doing very well at school and would consider it later. Master Matthew looked regretful at this.

Back at the blacksmith's shop, Xiao Fei sat alone in the backyard that night, deep in thought. With his upper body bare, he tried channeling his soul power into his spine. Sure enough, a sharp pain shot through his back, followed by a sensation of something emerging from his skin.

As the excruciating pain intensified, a pair of wings gradually unfurled from his back. Upon closer inspection, these appeared to be the wings of a molten bird, only much smaller, which suited his own physique perfectly. When fully extended, each wing was approximately 2 meters wide. Each wing was composed of 6 independent bones, totaling 12 wings on both sides.

Using his soul power to carefully control it, the wings could only cut forward like knives, and the cutting had to be synchronized with the body's rotation, just like a bird's wings. Although the wings were somewhat sharp, they couldn't be used to stab enemies like Tang San's Eight Spider Lances in the original story.

Compared to Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, its attack power and agility seem slightly inferior, but its resilience and speed should be greater. Most importantly, it has wings, providing the ability to fly, which is an advantage over the Eight Spider Lances. It's estimated that its flight speed should approach the maximum speed of a Soul Emperor.

Then, let's review the Soul Skill we acquired this time: "Rain of Sparks." It unleashes a group attack using phoenix feathers. The specific attack strength is calculated based on Soul Power, meaning that in a one-on-one fight, to conserve Soul Power as much as possible, one feather can be used for the attack. It can also be considered a single-target attack.

Before obtaining these wings, Xiao Fei had been pondering how to fly. Normally, the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul allows one to fly as long as the Martial Soul is attached to the body, but Xiao Fei had never mastered it.

For the next period of time, Xiao Fei spent every morning on the back mountain studying the characteristics of the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. After obtaining his second Soul Ring, Xiao Fei clearly felt that his control over the Fire Phoenix's body and flames had improved, but he didn't know how to combine it with the operation of the Phoenix Martial Soul's wings. As for external Soul Bones, Xiao Fei wouldn't reveal them until he had absolute strength.

Another six months passed, and Xiao Fei had begun to slowly master the wings of the fire phoenix, but he was still far from being able to fly. At the same time, Xiao Fei also developed a self-created soul skill, which was a mutated version of the second soul skill.

When Xiao Fei uses "Rain of Fire," he can continuously release a small number of feathers for precise single-target attacks. This gives Xiao Fei's soul skill a slight characteristic of a weapon spirit. The continuously burning feathers can form a sword or a spear, but currently they only deal ordinary attack damage and cannot form sword energy or anything like that.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Fei had been in school for 5 years, and his soul power level had reached level 26, which was now 1 level higher than Tang San's. At this time, Xiao Fei was exactly 11 years old.

For Xiao Fei now, blacksmithing no longer helps improve his physical abilities much. And the fire element in the blacksmith's shop isn't as effective for increasing his soul power. If he wants to continue rapidly increasing his soul power, he needs a place with a higher concentration of fire element.

Through years of hard work, Xiaofei can finally operate the wings on the back of the Phoenix perfectly. Of course, the learning process was filled with hardships and tears.

Initially, Xiao Fei needed to expend a lot of soul power just to flap his wings. So, in order to fly, Xiao Fei secretly went to the wilderness to practice flying using an external soul bone, and then used his wings to simulate the trajectory of the external soul bone. Finally, on one occasion, Xiao Fei even jumped directly off a cliff, slowly feeling the movement of his wings in mid-air.

Finally, Xiaofei was able to use the Phoenix's wings perfectly. Xiaofei also realized that although the Phoenix was mainly based on the fire element, it also had some wind element, which was why the wings could function perfectly.

Having gained a basic grasp of the Phoenix's wings, Xiao Fei now consumes very little soul power when simply hovering in the air; he could fly for half a day without any problem if he wanted to. However, when flying at high speed, the consumption of soul power increases significantly, and the flight speed is directly proportional to the soul power consumption.

Thanks to his external soul bone and wings, coupled with his exceptional physical attributes, Xiao Fei possesses top-notch survivability. His speed rivals that of agility-based attackers, and his honed physique, combined with the powerful phoenix flames, gives him a strong offensive presence. Furthermore, his second soul skill allows him to control the battlefield using feathers. The speed, power, timing of each feather's launch, and distribution all contribute to his control-based abilities. Xiao Fei shook his head again, ultimately attributing his power to his mastery of the elements and his control over the fire phoenix's body.

As for the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, Xiao Fei always believed that he needed to learn three things: a strong physique, ultimate fire element, and the ability to be reborn from the ashes. Xiao Fei felt that he had only grasped the basics, so he needed to speed up his learning process.

The next morning, Xiaofei took the initiative to find the principal and told him that he wanted to graduate. The principal specifically asked Xiaofei if he had any follow-up plans.

Xiao Fei said he plans to return to his hometown, Holy Soul Village, to spend some time with his grandfather before going on a journey. He might directly enter the Advanced Soul Master Academy in one to two years.

In the elementary Soul Master Academy, graduation is usually at level ten. Xiao Fei is already level 26, which is well past the graduation standard. After some encouragement, the principal approved Xiao Fei's graduation application.

The principal gave Xiaofei three suggestions on which advanced soul master academy he should attend: Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Blazing Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy.

The first two schools are mainly due to their abundant resources, while Blazing Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy is mainly because Xiao Fei's martial soul is more suitable there, as it has the most suitable environment for cultivating fire element martial souls.

After some consideration, Xiao Fei decided to choose Blazing Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy. Of course, Heaven Dou Royal Academy also wrote a letter of recommendation.

I don't know if the news spread quickly, but Yu Xiaogang also contacted me these past few days, recommending that I go to Shrek Academy, saying that it only accepts monsters and has a very strong teaching staff.

Since he had gotten along quite well with Yu Xiaogang over the past few years, he told Yu Xiaogang his thoughts. Yu Xiaogang thought about it for a moment and said, "The Blazing Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy? That's also a good choice." In the end, he shook his head helplessly and left.

Regarding the attitude towards Yu Xiaogang, this book follows the original work, neither criticizing nor pandering to him. As for going to the Blazing Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy, it's simply because the author believes it's the most suitable place for the protagonist.
