Phoenix Wings Soaring

At that moment, Wang Sheng underwent another change. The blood-colored flames slowly began to solidify.

They transformed into a pair of Blood Flame Wings that spread open behind Wang Sheng.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature rose several degrees.

"What powerful flames. With flames like these, his martial spirit must be anything but ordinary!"

Within five meters of Wang Sheng, every flower and blade of grass had turned to ash. Even the ground had been scorched dry and cracked, becoming as hard as iron.

Xue Yue's eyes were filled with shock and delight.

After the initial delight, Xue Yue stared thoughtfully at the wings behind Wang Sheng.

Mei Hu, however, was completely exhilarated. She understood that they were a Spirit Bone—and an exceedingly rare flight-type Spirit Bone at that!

"Teacher Xue Yue, are those Flame Wings a soul skill? They're so beautiful!"

Wu Xiao'ai stared at the Flame Wings behind Wang Sheng, her eyes sparkling with stars. She was truly envious! Not only did this soul skill look amazing, it could fly too.

But unexpectedly, Xue Yue became more serious than ever. "Everything you saw today is not to be revealed to anyone else, including your families!"

Wu Xiao'ai, Wu Xiaodong, and Dan Cheng immediately replied, "Yes, Teacher Xue Yue!"

Although they did not know why, they knew Teacher Xue Yue would not harm them.

Mei Hu looked at Xue Yue in surprise. She had never expected Xue Yue to recognize it as well. She became somewhat wary of Xue Yue. After all, Spirit Bones were far too precious, especially a flight-type Spirit Bone like this!

Fortunately, Xue Yue did not seem to have any designs on it. That allowed her to relax slightly, though it also left her somewhat puzzled. In her world, people would definitely snatch it first and talk later.

At that moment, Wang Sheng slowly woke up.

When he noticed the Flame Wings behind him, he was stunned for a moment. However, he already possessed a Spirit Bone, so he was familiar with them. After examining it carefully, he drew it back into his body.

But Wang Sheng was even more shocked after doing so. He discovered that this Spirit Bone was attached to his back.

"An External Spirit Bone?!"

"This luck is just too good!"

"Brother Sheng, it's wonderful that you're all right!" As soon as the Flame Wings vanished, Mei Hu rushed to Wang Sheng's side.

Seeing the tear tracks on her face, his heart ached. He pulled her into his arms and comforted her. "It's all right, it's all right. Don't cry anymore, okay, Meier?"

"You're Wang Sheng, right? Would you be willing to join our academy and become my student?"

At that moment, Xue Yue approached and looked at Wang Sheng eagerly. Good teachers were hard to find, but good students were even rarer!

A peerless genius like Wang Sheng, who had already become a two-ring Soul Grandmaster at the age of six and whose Second Soul Ring was an unprecedented thousand-year one, was not merely one in ten thousand—he was one in a million.

Not to mention that pair of Flame Wings, which, if Xue Yue had not been mistaken, were also a Spirit Bone.

Wang Sheng was stunned upon hearing that.

This time, he owed Xue Yue an enormous favor. After all, if he had hunted that Blood Phoenix Bird himself, it was uncertain who would have died in the end!

Besides, now that he had obtained his Second Soul Ring, Mei Hu and he truly needed somewhere to go. They could not return to the family before it grew strong enough, so attending an academy was not a bad choice.

So he immediately replied, "Then I'll be relying on Teacher Xue Yue from now on."

Upon hearing Wang Sheng agree, Xue Yue immediately smiled and eagerly asked, "Can you tell me about your martial spirit and soul skills? That way, I can decide which direction to guide you in."

Wang Sheng summoned his martial spirit, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared.

He then introduced it. "Martial spirit: Blazing Blade. First Soul Skill: Purple Flame Impact!"

As he spoke, his First Soul Ring lit up. Flames surged from his martial spirit, enveloping both him and the blade. Yet everyone discovered in amazement that the flames were not purple, but blood-red like the Flame Wings from before.

"This can't be called Purple Flame Impact anymore. It should be called Blood Flame Impact."

Wang Sheng had never expected a single thousand-year soul ring to bring him such an enormous change! He felt that the power of this move had increased by at least thirty percent!

"Not bad, not bad. It combines offense and defense! Anyone who wants to attack you must first break through your flames. Long-range attackers might fare better, but close-combat fighters would be completely countered by you." Xue Yue did not hide his praise for Wang Sheng at all.

Wang Sheng withdrew the Blood Flames, then his Second Soul Skill lit up.

"Phoenix Wings Soaring!"

A great amount of blood-colored flame surged from the Blazing Blade once more.

With a swing of his hand, the Blood Flames immediately formed a Flame Phoenix and flew straight toward a large tree nearby.

"Rumble!"

The tree was instantly swallowed by flames. Within a few breaths, it was reduced to ash.

Gulp.

Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, and Dan Cheng all swallowed hard when they saw the power of Wang Sheng's attack.

It was hard to imagine what would happen to a person struck by it.

"Although this is a single-target attack, it has an extremely long range. Within a hundred meters, I can strike anything, whether it's in the air or on the ground."

"Good, good, good! Hahaha!"

Xue Yue said "good" three times in a row, showing just how satisfied he was with Wang Sheng.

Wu Xiao'ai suddenly sensed that something was wrong and asked in surprise, "Eh? That's not right! Wasn't his Second Soul Skill those Flame Wings from before?"

Xue Yue's expression immediately became incomparably stern. He said seriously to Wu Xiao'ai, "Xiao'ai, have you forgotten what I just said?"

As he spoke, he swept his gaze over Wu Xiaodong and Dan Cheng. "I'll say it again. Treat the Flame Wings as if you never saw them. Wang Sheng has only two soul skills: the Blood Flame Impact and Phoenix Wings Soaring he just displayed. Understand?"

"Yes," Wu Xiao'ai, Wu Xiaodong, and Dan Cheng replied weakly.

However, Wu Xiao'ai looked terribly wronged! Xue Yue could only shake his head and explain once more, "Listen carefully. I'm forbidding you from talking about it for your own good. Once this matter is exposed, not only will Wang Sheng's life be in danger, it may affect all of you as well."

Xue Yue was not exaggerating in the slightest. Once they spoke of it, others would certainly seek them out for confirmation. But after confirming it, would those people let them live?

After all, this was a Spirit Bone! The entire academy only had one, possessed by the headmaster, a Spirit Douluo. Of course, that was only what was known publicly. No one could say what existed in secret. After all, anyone who obtained a Spirit Bone would not flaunt it everywhere; that was not much different from courting death!

Still worried, Xue Yue turned to Wang Sheng and said, "The two of you are the same, especially you, Wang Sheng. Before you become powerful enough, it's best not to use it at all. Otherwise, the consequences will be endless. Do you understand?"

By the end, Xue Yue spoke each word deliberately, showing how seriously he took the matter.

Wang Sheng and Mei Hu looked at each other, thinking at the same time, This bargain teacher truly has his best interests at heart.

"Teacher Xue Yue, I understand. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will never use it."

If he had called Xue Yue "teacher" before only out of gratitude, then now Wang Sheng truly meant it. Xue Yue was worthy of his respect.
