Exceeding the Quota, [Phoenix Art]

"Hiss~"

In the end, it was Feng Baiyu who slew the Qingluan with a single sword strike.

A purple spirit ring drifted up from the Qingluan's head, signaling that it was truly dead.

Feng Baiyu beckoned with his hand, guiding the spirit ring toward Little Black's head. Little Black let out a whimper, allowing the power of the ring to surge into its body.

Two hours later, Little Black finished absorbing this second spirit ring.

Feng Baiyu's spirit power also leaped from just entering level twenty to level twenty-four!

Feng Baiyu sensed his own level and said softly, "As expected of a six-thousand-year spirit ring, the effect is truly extraordinary!"

Just as Feng Baiyu obtained his second spirit ring, his [Phoenix God First Trial] also concluded.

Feng Baiyu once again entered that strange space, and a familiar voice echoed in his ears.

[Phoenix Nine Trials I]: Obtain two spirit rings within 2.5 years, completed. Time taken: 453 days. Task completed perfectly and exceeded expectations.

Reward: Spirit ring age increased by 500 years, 10% Phoenix Essence Blood. Additional reward: God-tier cultivation technique [Phoenix Art]!

As the [Phoenix God First Trial] was completed, the ages of the two spirit rings on Little Black's body began to climb. The first spirit ring, which originally had an age of 750 years, stepped directly into the thousand-year level.

With this, both of Feng Baiyu's first two spirit rings had become thousand-year level.

While Feng Baiyu was still rejoicing, a voice sounded in his ears once more.

[Phoenix Nine Trials II]: Obtain a third spirit ring within 2.5 years, and the third spirit ring must be over ten thousand years old. Reward: Three spirit rings' age increased by 2500 years. 10% Phoenix Essence Blood.

Once Feng Baiyu had digested all the information, his vision finally returned to normal.

"Baiyu." Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson and asked, "How is it? The effect of the second spirit ring is quite good, isn't it?"

"Very good." Hearing his grandfather's inquiry, Feng Baiyu replied, "Grandfather, my second spirit ring's skill is similar to the first; I obtained [Qingluan Avatar]! A thousand-year spirit ring has brought me a 300% increase in attack, defense, speed, wind-attribute damage, and resistance to all attributes. Under [Qingluan Avatar], I can absorb and negate all wind-attribute attacks to heal and recover spirit power."

"Another heaven-defying spirit skill!" Feng Qingluan couldn't help but click his tongue as he listened to his grandson.

Both spirit skills had been like this; was his grandson destined to possess nine [Phoenix Avatar]-type skills in the future?

Feng Qingluan knew that Feng Baiyu suffered no weakness after using [Fire Phoenix Avatar]! This meant that as long as he had sufficient spirit power, he could fight with [Phoenix Avatar] active the entire time!

"Good! Very good!" Feng Qingluan beamed with joy. "Baiyu, you have already obtained two spirit rings. Does that mean your [Phoenix God Trial] is also complete?"

"It is!" Feng Baiyu revealed his spirit rings and said, "Grandfather, with the end of the [Phoenix God First Trial], my first spirit ring has also become thousand-year level! Furthermore, my [Phoenix Domain] has evolved!"

[Phoenix Domain]: Increases self and allies' all-attributes by 20%, and decreases enemies' all-attributes by 15%.

The buff increased by 10%, and the suppression by 5%. With one added and one subtracted, the effect was truly remarkable!

By the time he reached Title Douluo, wouldn't that mean a 90% buff to himself and a 50% suppression of his enemies?

How could his opponents even play at that point?

Feng Baiyu became even more certain that this Phoenix God was definitely not some second-tier deity!

Feng Baiyu explained his situation to his grandfather, and a pair of cyan wings suddenly appeared on his back.

The appearance of the wings poked two holes in Feng Baiyu's jacket, but he didn't care in the slightest.

"Grandfather, this is my other gain—[Wings of the Firmament]!" Feng Baiyu flew up, barely stabilizing himself in the air, and said, "My current flight speed is equivalent to that of a seven-thousand-year Qingluan spirit beast!"

Flight was merely a basic attribute for the [Wings of the Firmament], not even counting as an attached spirit skill. The actual skills it carried were [Spirit Power Recovery] and [Phoenix Feather].

For other spirit masters, flying consumed spirit power. But for Feng Baiyu, who possessed the [Spirit Power Recovery] skill, that little drain couldn't even keep up with his recovery!

For him, flying in the sky for a while meant his mana bar would be full enough to release another spirit skill.

And [Phoenix Feather] was an offensive spirit skill!

It used spirit power to condense dense Phoenix feathers in the sky, launching a large-scale area attack downward. Each of Feng Baiyu's feathers dealt dual wind-attribute and armor-piercing damage; its power was naturally incredibly formidable.

This was another extremely important upgrade for Feng Baiyu, as his two spirit skills were both buffs. Now, in addition to the single-target attack of [Eye of the Fire Phoenix], he had a crowd-control attack with [Phoenix Feather]. Even when facing a level forty Spirit Ancestor, he had the strength to put up a fight!

"An external spirit bone of the wing type!" Feng Qingluan watched his grandson flying and said excitedly, "Baiyu, Grandfather believes you now! You really do obtain a spirit bone every time you acquire a spirit ring!"

The first time it was eyes, the second time it was wings. Who knew what kind of spirit bone he would get when he acquired his third spirit ring?

But regardless of what it was, it would be an excellent treasure for his grandson!

Feng Baiyu flew in the air for a while before landing on the ground. He said, "Grandfather, if those were useful to me, then the additional reward, [Phoenix Art], is something useful to you as well!"

"The additional reward [Phoenix Art]?" Feng Qingluan asked in surprise. "Could it be some powerful spirit skill?"

"It's not a spirit skill, it's a god-tier cultivation technique!" Feng Baiyu nodded and said, "This technique is more efficient than the meditation method you taught me. If I use [Phoenix Art] to cultivate in the future, my spirit power will be more solid and profound! And..."

Feng Baiyu paused for a moment before continuing, "After I authorize it, other spirit masters who possess bird-type spirits can also cultivate [Phoenix Art]!"

"No wonder you said this reward is useful to me." Feng Qingluan wasn't overly excited after hearing the words "god-tier cultivation technique."

To him, his grandson's priority was higher than his own. As long as it was beneficial to his grandson, it didn't matter much whether it was beneficial to him.

Since his grandson's spirit awakening, Feng Qingluan had already indirectly gained many benefits. Now, with a god-tier cultivation technique, he was already unfazed.

"Baiyu." Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson and asked, "Letting others cultivate [Phoenix Art]—it won't cause you any harm, will it?"

"This..." Feng Baiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Cultivating [Phoenix Art] requires my authorization. Currently, I can authorize spirit masters with fire-attribute bird spirits and wind-attribute bird spirits to cultivate it, but it requires a drop of my blood."

"Those who cultivate [Phoenix Art] are effectively my subordinates; they can never betray me or harbor thoughts of harming me. Furthermore..." Feng Baiyu looked at his grandfather and said, "With a single thought from me, I can make them die."

"There's such a good thing?"
