The Phoenix God's Legacy

I'm a damn hater, through and through!

Awakening a black rooster was one thing, but to think my innate soul power is a measly 2.5!

Feng Baiyu stared at his external martial soul, his heart filled with suspicion.

Is this thing going to awaken soul skills related to [singing], [dancing], [rap], [middle-part hair], and [basketball] in the future?

Just the thought made Feng Baiyu shudder involuntarily, and he hurriedly retracted his martial soul.

But at that very moment, Feng Baiyu suddenly realized that not only could he not retract his martial soul, but he had also entered some unknown space.

"Huh?"

Feng Baiyu looked around; it was pitch black. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on! Where is this? Where the hell did I end up?"

No one answered him, but the dark space suddenly lit up, and a phantom of a phoenix appeared in the sky.

Suddenly, the phoenix raised its head and let out a clear cry. Immediately after, its wings spread out like clouds hanging from the sky, the feathers at the tips slicing through the air and leaving behind a fleeting rainbow.

The phoenix circled nine times in the air before flying toward Feng Baiyu. Feng Baiyu wanted to dodge, but he had no way to do so.

Whoosh!

The phoenix phantom entered Feng Baiyu's body without any resistance, and at that moment, a voice echoed in his mind.

[Phoenix God First Trial initiated.]

[Phoenix God First Trial 1]: Obtain two soul rings within 2.5 years. Reward: Soul ring age increased by 250 years, 10% Phoenix Essence Blood.

When Feng Baiyu opened his eyes again, everything had returned to normal.

He saw his grandfather still holding his previous pose, as if everything that had just happened were a mere illusion.

"Baiyu?" Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson's expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Do you think an innate soul power of 2.5 is too low?"

"Don't be discouraged. That trash Yu Xiaogang... that guy only had an innate soul power of 0.5. You're five times stronger than him!"

"Grandfather, I'm fine. I'm great!" Feng Baiyu looked down at the external martial soul he hadn't managed to retract, and to his shock, he discovered a faint, almost imperceptible mark on its forehead.

It was the same mark he had seen in that space, the exact one on the phoenix's forehead!

It was just that because it was also black, it was truly hard to notice if one didn't look closely.

"Grandfather." Feng Baiyu took a deep breath and said, "You might not believe me, but I just received a God Trial!"

"A, a God Trial?"

Hearing his grandson's words, Feng Qingluan grabbed his shoulders and exclaimed, "Baiyu, are you saying a God Trial? Did you really receive a God Trial?"

Legends of gods had always circulated throughout the Douluo Continent, and their own Qian family of the Spirit Hall were descendants of the Angel God!

Now that he heard his grandson had received a God Trial, how could he not be excited!

"It's true." Feng Baiyu nodded earnestly and said, "Grandfather, I need your help!"

Feng Baiyu had no intention of hiding anything from his grandfather. With a 96th-level Titled Douluo as his backer, only a fool would struggle on their own!

Moreover, this first trial required him to reach level 20 within 2.5 years!

That was a challenge even for someone with full innate soul power, let alone someone with only 2.5. Without his grandfather's help, he probably wouldn't even be able to survive the start.

"No problem." Feng Qingluan was still basking in the joy of his grandson receiving a God Trial, but he didn't forget to shroud the entire room with his soul power. He said, "Don't talk about needing my help; even if you wanted this old man's life, it wouldn't be a problem at all!"

"Grandfather, my [Phoenix God First Trial] requires me to obtain two soul rings within two and a half years!" Feng Baiyu stated the requirements of the trial and then added, "Over the next two and a half years, I need you to provide me with enough resources to cultivate in the best mimicry environments!"

"Obtain two soul rings within two and a half years?" Hearing such harsh conditions, Feng Qingluan couldn't help but click his tongue. "That difficulty is truly not small!"

If it were someone with full innate soul power, obtaining two soul rings in two years would be a breeze. But his grandson only had 2.5 innate soul power; his cultivation speed would be far too slow!

To obtain two soul rings under these circumstances was truly too difficult for him!

It could only be said that it was worthy of being a God Trial; it was simply not something an ordinary person could complete!

"But don't worry, Grandfather will definitely give you the greatest support!" Feng Qingluan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Baiyu, from now on, use Grandfather's meditation technique and cultivate in my secret training grounds. Not only is the environment good, but it's also suitable for avian-type soul masters. As for medicinal supplements, your grandfather has plenty of those too!"

"I understand." Feng Baiyu didn't intend to be modest at all. He added, "Grandfather, although the Phoenix God's trial is arduous, he did leave me a backdoor. He told me that whale glue can strengthen a soul master's physique and increase the age limit for soul ring absorption. I don't know if this is useful, but I hope you can get me some so I can try it out."

"Whale glue?" Feng Qingluan asked in surprise. "That thing can strengthen the physique?"

Of course, Feng Qingluan knew what whale glue was, but wasn't that stuff used for... stimulation?

He hadn't expected it to have the effect of strengthening the physique!

"Of course!" Feng Baiyu said with a serious face. "The Phoenix God told me so!"

"He said that as long as you melt the whale glue with fire, soften it, and remove the impurities, taking it will improve your physical fitness!" Feng Baiyu pushed everything onto the god and continued, "As for how much it can improve, I don't know. Grandfather, buy as much as you can! Especially those with high age ratings, try to buy them all out!"

Although Feng Qingluan doubted the effect of the item, he did not doubt his grandson's words. He immediately said, "Grandfather will teach you how to cultivate first, and then I will go get them for you immediately!"

After speaking, Feng Qingluan took Feng Baiyu to his secret training ground.

It was a forest, and in the very center stood an 8,000-year-old plant-type soul beast, the [Green Maple Phoenix Tree]!

"I found this in the Star Dou Great Forest after I became a Titled Douluo." Feng Qingluan looked at the [Green Maple Phoenix Tree] before them and said, "For an avian-type soul master, this thing is an excellent cultivation cheat. Even after I stepped into the Titled Douluo realm, it still provided me with a ten percent boost!"

Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson and said with a smile, "It's yours now!"

As the saying goes, "The phoenix perches on the phoenix tree." Since the Green Phoenix is a type of phoenix, cultivating on this [Green Maple Phoenix Tree] would yield twice the result with half the effort!

Feng Baiyu did not know if his Great Rooster martial soul could still be considered a phoenix, but since he had received the inheritance of the Phoenix God, there had to be some connection, right?

Feng Qingluan pulled his grandson along, flying straight to the meditation cushion where he practiced. He spoke, "Baiyu, to cultivate soul power, you simply need to do this and that..."

Feng Qingluan explained the method of meditation for cultivating soul power. Feng Baiyu listened intently, and once he had memorized everything, he closed his eyes and began to practice.

Watching his grandson's diligent demeanor, Feng Qingluan could not help but nod.

A six-year-old child who was this hardworking right after awakening his martial soul—if he didn't become a god, who would?

After confirming that his grandson was safe and sound, Feng Qingluan turned and left.
