Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 44 Six-Headed Fire Phoenix

Everyone knows that, given Xiaofei's personality, once he decides to do something, he will definitely do it.

So, the dean led everyone to his secret cultivation chamber. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Fei summoned his martial spirit and then swallowed the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent in one gulp.

Actually, Xiao Fei was quite conflicted about whether to absorb this inner core. First, throughout the entire Douluo Continent novel, treasures like beads and inner cores are incredibly powerful. Second, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent clearly doesn't conform to the rules of spirit beasts in the Douluo world; it can be said that it has already surpassed spirit beasts, existing on a different level. Absorbing this inner core might bring unimaginable benefits. Finally, in the original story, Ma Hongjun was able to absorb this spirit ring only with the help of Tang San and Ning Rongrong; he didn't receive any help from anyone else.

However, his current physical abilities far surpass those of Ma Hongjun. The four high-age soul bones give him physical attributes far exceeding those of ordinary people. Furthermore, his body has been transformed by the City of Slaughter, becoming even more formidable.

Xiao Fei focused his mind and began to absorb the soul ring. The ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core entered his body and instantly melted. The core's power transformed into a red flame, burning Xiao Fei's entire body, including his martial soul.

Fortunately, Xiao Fei had now transformed into the Ultimate Flame, and the Phoenix Flame had a certain suppressive effect on all other flames in the world. Using his meditation technique, Xiao Fei guided the flames throughout his body. Instantly, his entire body turned crimson, and streaks of blood flowed from his skin, mixed with orange flames. Gradually, an orange fireball seemed to form around Xiao Fei, continuously burning his body and his Phoenix Martial Soul, as if forging something.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fei and his martial spirit within the fireball seemed to be forged by the flames, burning through every cell and every wisp of Xiao Fei's soul. The area around the fireball had already turned into a charred mess.

Huo Wu covered her mouth and asked, "Grandpa, how is Xiao Fei now?"

Dean Huo said, "Xiao Fei's condition has stabilized for now, and there shouldn't be any danger."

For three full days, Xiao Fei, engulfed in the fireball, endured the relentless tempering. Gradually, a massive spirit ring appeared on the fire phoenix, changing from its initial white to yellow, purple, deep purple, and finally, deep black. When the flames around Xiao Fei completely vanished, a deep black spirit ring formed around the fire phoenix, and the phoenix itself transformed, growing five more heads in addition to its original one. Moreover, the fire phoenix let out a long cry, and a burst of phoenix flames shot out of the training room, dyeing the entire sky above the Blazing Fire Academy a fiery red. A gigantic phoenix phantom appeared in the air. All the fire-attribute spirit masters around seemed unable to contain their excitement, feeling an urge to worship the fire phoenix, like ten thousand flames paying homage to a phoenix.

Xiao Fei himself had lost a lot of weight, his black hair had been burned to a fiery red, and his eyes seemed to have a hint of gold, as if his soul had undergone a sublimation.

Huo Wu ran over and hugged Xiao Fei, asking, "Xiao Fei, how are you feeling now?"

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Very good. I feel very comfortable now and have become stronger than ever before."

Xiao Fei summoned his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and everyone around him instantly felt a suppressive force, like a superior Martial Soul suppressing a lower-level one. Xiao Fei carefully sensed his Martial Soul; it seemed to possess a trace of divinity, giving it an innate suppressive power over fire-attribute Martial Souls and beast patterns. Moreover, it felt as if his Martial Soul hadn't yet reached its final form. The current Fire Phoenix should be considered a quasi-divine Martial Soul; when it transforms into a ten-headed Fire Phoenix, that will be when the Martial Soul steps into the divine level.

Xiao Fei's soul power has reached an astonishing level 64. Of course, this includes his sixth soul ring, which is almost 10 years old, as well as the soul power Xiao Fei has accumulated over the past two years.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fei's phoenix transformation has further developed; he can now transform his torso into a phoenix, but his head remains the only part that cannot. In terms of strength, Xiao Fei can already take on an eight-ring Soul Douluo one-on-one. Throughout the entire Blazing Fire Academy, apart from the dean, no one is Xiao Fei's match.

Xiao Fei's sixth soul skill is called Phoenix Slash. He can gather power in his right claw and unleash a fiery slash. The slash is imbued with powerful phoenix flame essence, capable of burning and cutting everything, ignoring all obstacles. The flames never go out, are ineffective against physical defense, and reduce energy defense by 50%. The attack range is linked to the amount of soul power Xiao Fei uses.

Xiao Fei's first impression was that this soul skill was incredibly powerful. His second impression was that its potential for development was extremely high. In the original work, Xiao Fei's favorite was Sword Douluo, Chen Xin. If he could master the formation principle of this slash, wouldn't it be possible to use claws as swords and unleash similar sword or blade energy? That would be so much fun.

After that, Xiao Fei resumed his normal academy life, reading books, training his body, cultivating his soul power, and occasionally sparring with Huo Lie. Life became leisurely for the time being. Xiao Fei also planned to relax a bit.

Xiao Fei and Huo Wu were having a great time, often living in their own little world. Huo Wushuang, who used to be with them, was sent off by Huo Wu to train.

The two cultivated together, read books together, played together, and went shopping together. The relationship between Xiaofei and Huowu quickly warmed up, and they have now started holding hands.

Recently, Blazing Fire Academy has become one of the hottest places in the entire Douluo Continent. Ever since the day the phoenix flames filled the sky, many people have been spreading rumors that Blazing Fire Academy has produced an extraordinary talent. Dean Huo Tianchen announced to the outside world that he had reached level 93, a truly astonishing speed. Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang of Blazing Fire Academy have now reached levels 66 and 65 respectively. Huo Wu is only 22 years old, making her the youngest Soul Emperor in history. Huo Wushuang is 24 years old and already at level 65, renowned throughout the land. The two are now known as the Blazing Fire Twin Stars, showing a strong trend of surpassing the previous Haotian Twin Stars.

Huo Wu was hailed as the number one among the younger generation, a true prodigy. Coupled with her stunning beauty, countless men flocked to her, their doors practically swarming with suitors. Even direct disciples from the three major sects came to court, only to be met with Huo Wu's resolute rejection. Even Crown Prince Xue Qinghe came, but the two never even met. Faced with this persistent harassment, Huo Wu laid out her conditions: only those stronger than herself would be willing to date her, and they must marry into the Blazing Fire Academy, and their partners must be fire element cultivators.

With such a threshold set, many people were immediately excluded.

Of course, most of them came to make friends.
