First Spirit Ability: Blood Phoenix Returns to Nest

Lin Li slowly rose to her feet. Her knowledge of Soul Beasts was shallow, but as she looked at the First Spirit Ring pulsing around her body, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

Although the yellow Spirit Ring was a hundred-year ring, its color was exceptionally deep—a profoundly dark yellow. It was definitely beyond the age limit a normal First Spirit Ring could withstand.

Lin Li was secretly astonished, though she felt even more lingering fear. She did not believe she could absorb a Spirit Ring beyond her level. Yet now, she could only count it as heaven's blessing!

But when she thought of her First Spirit Ability, Lin Li was equally stunned. What she knew of Phoenix Spirits mainly came from the fat Ma Hongjun of Shrek and Shui Bing'er of Skywater Academy.

Yet her First Spirit Ability was far more powerful than either of their First Spirit Abilities!

Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix First Spirit Ability: Blood Phoenix Returns to Nest. The Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix instantly doubled all of its user's attributes. For every level of Soul Power gained, the enhancement increased by an additional one percent from its original base!

It was an extremely domineering enhancement Spirit Ability, one that simply did not seem like something a hundred-year Spirit Ring could provide. But for Lin Li as she was now, what she desperately needed was an ability to defeat her enemies!

Just as Lin Li was feeling somewhat helpless, the system's voice rang out. "Congratulations, Host, on obtaining your First Spirit Ring. Reward granted to Host: 'Soul Breaking Finger,' 'Carefree Steps.'"

As the system's voice rang out, Lin Li felt only joy. Yet she had not even finished studying the Death God Art and Star Attraction, and now she had these two as well.

She now needed to organize the Cultivation Methods and Martial Skills she possessed.

Perhaps she should also consider joining a Junior Spirit Master Academy. She had never systematically learned about Soul Beasts or Spirit Masters.

That was one of her greatest shortcomings. If she did not study, obtaining Spirit Rings in the future would undoubtedly be extremely difficult. A Titled Douluo only had nine Spirit Ring slots in total, and every single slot was crucial to a Spirit Master!

Moreover, she wanted revenge. The only thing she could rely on was her Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix. She looked at the tranquil surroundings and listened to the insects chirping throughout the forest.

The breeze gently brushed against her, but Lin Li's heart was filled with loneliness. She had no intention of spending the night here. Fortunately, she had not ventured too deeply inside, so she immediately summoned the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix and swiftly left the Star Dou Great Forest.

The next morning, dawn had barely broken.

A young girl dressed in black short sleeves and shorts wandered aimlessly along the road. Her features were delicate and picturesque, while her Phoenix Eyes were filled with sharpness and solitude.

She had arrived before an enormous hall-like building. It was built in the style of ancient European churches, with sacred angelic totems painted upon it—the distinctive symbol of Spirit Hall.

Lin Li's father, Lin Yan, had been a Spirit Hall Spirit Master. Yet he himself had been killed by the beast tide triggered by the battle involving the Pope he worshipped. How laughable. How tragic.

The system had concealed Lin Li's Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix as a top-tier Spirit called the Dark Phoenix. Although it looked extremely dark, it carried not a trace of Evil Qi.

She looked at the Spirit Hall before her. The sunlight was bright now, and the passing pedestrians paid little attention to the young girl walking among them.

Lin Li glanced at Spirit Hall's main entrance and sighed. She had to go in. Without a Soul Master's Handbook proving her identity as a Spirit Master, her enrollment and future plans would both be seriously affected.

The Soul Master's Handbook was like an ID card from her previous life. Without it, one could scarcely take a single step. As she walked inside, she was stopped by soldiers clad in heavy armor and holding spears.

The soldier on the right said in a deep voice, "This is an important Spirit Hall site. No one may enter without reason!"

Lin Li glanced at him without explaining herself. A dazzling yellow Spirit Ring descended from above her head. A clear Phoenix Cry rang out, and a pitch-black phantom of a phoenix appeared. The moment it emerged, it unleashed a powerful aura!

She said, "Big brothers, I'm here to register as a Spirit Master."

The two soldiers immediately withdrew their spears and said respectfully, "Esteemed Lord Soul Master, you may complete your registration with Grandmaster Wang Yan in the second room on the left of the first floor!"

Lin Li gave a soft acknowledgment and headed into Spirit Hall. Once her figure had disappeared,

the soldier who had spoken earlier said, "I'm so envious. Becoming a Spirit Master at such a young age—her future is boundless!"

The soldier on the left immediately replied, "Not to mention that one Gold Soul Coin a month is almost as much as what we earn from standing guard all day and working ourselves to death."

The soldier on the right said, "We're not doing too badly either. At least we don't have to farm in the countryside, toil all year, earn barely anything, and still get exploited by nobles!"

The soldier on the left gave a grunt and said no more, merely replying, "Keep standing. There are still two hours before someone comes to relieve us."

The soldier on the right nodded, straightened his chest, and continued standing proudly.

By then, Lin Li had already entered Spirit Hall. It had to be said that Spirit Hall truly deserved to be called the strongest force independent of the two great empires—the architecture alone made that clear.

Even a mere branch hall was awe-inspiring. Gold did not cover the roof, nor jade form the floor, but the decorations alone felt sacred and luxurious!

The angel murals carved across vast stretches of gold and the crystal ornaments embedded in the vaulted ceiling all revealed Spirit Hall's wealth and extravagance!

Following the soldiers' directions, she arrived at a room and properly knocked on the door.

Then a thick, robust voice sounded from within. "Come in."
