"Hiss~"

In the end, Feng Baiyu still slew the Azure Luan with a single sword strike.

A purple Soul Ring floated up from above the Azure Luan's head, showing that it had completely died.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Baiyu drew the Soul Ring above Little Black's head. Little Black let out a whimper and allowed the Soul Ring's power to flow into its body.

Two hours later, Little Black had finished absorbing its second Soul Ring.

Feng Baiyu's Soul Power also leaped from just having entered level twenty to level twenty-four!

Feng Baiyu sensed his own level and said softly, "As expected of a Soul Ring more than six thousand years old. The effect really is extraordinary!"

And just as Feng Baiyu obtained his second Soul Ring, his [Phoenix God First Trial] also came to an end.

Feng Baiyu once again entered that strange space, and a familiar voice sounded by his ear.

[Phoenix Nine Trials I]: Obtain two Soul Rings within 2.5 years. Completed. Time taken: 453 days. Perfectly completed the task beyond requirements. Reward: Soul Ring age increased by 500 years, 10% Phoenix Essence Blood. Additional reward: God Rank cultivation art [Phoenix Art]!

As the [Phoenix God First Trial] concluded, the ages of Little Black's two Soul Rings also began to rise. Its first Soul Ring, which had originally been 750 years old, directly entered the thousand-year tier.

At this point, Feng Baiyu's first two Soul Rings had both become thousand-year Soul Rings.

While Feng Baiyu was still delighted, another voice sounded in his ears.

[Phoenix Nine Trials II]: Obtain a third Soul Ring within 2.5 years, with the third Soul Ring exceeding ten thousand years in age. Reward: the age of three Soul Rings increased by 2,500 years. 10% Phoenix Essence Blood.

Only after Feng Baiyu had processed all the information did the scene before him finally return to normal.

"Bai Yu." Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson and asked, "How was it? Your second Soul Ring's effect is pretty good, right?"

"It's very good." Hearing his grandfather ask, Feng Baiyu said, "Grandfather, my second Soul Ring skill is similar to my first. I gained [Qingluan Avatar]! The thousand-year Soul Ring gave me a 300% increase in attack, defense, speed, wind-attribute attacks, and all-attribute resistance. While in [Qingluan Avatar], I can absorb and become immune to all wind-attribute attacks, using them to heal injuries and restore Soul Power."

"Another heaven-defying Soul Skill like this!" Feng Qingluan could not help clicking his tongue at his grandson's words.

Both Soul Skills had been like this. Could it be that his grandson would possess nine [Phoenix True Body]-type Soul Skills in the future?

Feng Qingluan knew that Feng Baiyu showed no weakness whatsoever after using [Fire Phoenix Avatar]! In other words, as long as he had sufficient Soul Power, he could keep [Phoenix True Body] active throughout an entire battle in the future!

"Good! Excellent!" Feng Qingluan beamed. "Bai Yu, you've already obtained two Soul Rings. Has your [Phoenix God Trial] been completed too?"

"It's complete!" Feng Baiyu displayed his Soul Rings and said, "Grandfather, with the end of the [Phoenix God First Trial], my first Soul Ring has also become thousand-year level! Also, my [Phoenix Domain] has evolved!"

[Phoenix Domain]: Increases all attributes of oneself and allies by 20%, while reducing all attributes of enemies by 15%.

The enhancement had increased by 10%, while the suppression had increased by 5%. One increase and one decrease—this effect was incredibly formidable!

Once he became a Title Douluo, wouldn't that mean boosting himself by 90% while suppressing his enemies by 50%?

How the hell were his opponents supposed to fight then?

Feng Baiyu became even more certain that the Phoenix God was definitely not some Second-Tier God.

As Feng Baiyu explained his situation to his grandfather, a pair of azure wings suddenly emerged from his back.

The wings poked two holes through Feng Baiyu's shirt, but he did not care in the slightest.

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

Flight was merely a basic attribute of [Wings of the Firmament], not even worthy of being called an attached Soul Skill. The Soul Skills it truly carried were [Soul Power Recovery] and [Phoenix Feather].

For other Soul Masters, flying consumed Soul Power. But for Feng Baiyu, who possessed the [Soul Power Recovery] Soul Skill, that bit of consumption could not even keep up with his recovery speed!

For him, flying in the sky a little longer would restore enough mana for another use of a Soul Skill.

And [Phoenix Feather] was an offensive Soul Skill!

It used Soul Power to condense dense phoenix feathers in the sky and attack a large area below. Every one of Feng Baiyu's feathers dealt dual wind-attribute and piercing damage, so its power was naturally immense.

This was another extremely important improvement for Feng Baiyu. After all, both of his Soul Skills were enhancement types. Now, in addition to the single-target attack of [Eye of the Fire Phoenix], he had gained the area attack of [Phoenix Feather]. Even against a level-forty Soul Ancestor, he now had the strength to fight!

"An External Soul Bone of the wing type!" Seeing his grandson flying, Feng Qingluan became so excited that he said, "Bai Yu, Grandfather believes it now! Every time you obtain a Soul Ring, you really do gain a Spirit Bone!"

The first time had been eyes, and the second time was wings. He wondered what Spirit Bone he would obtain when he acquired his third Soul Ring.

But no matter what it was, it would be an exceptionally good thing for his grandson!

Feng Baiyu flew around in the air for a while before quickly landing on the ground. He said, "Grandfather, if all of that was 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 Soul Skill?"

"It isn't a Soul Skill. It's a God Rank cultivation art!" Feng Baiyu nodded. "This cultivation art is more efficient than the meditation method you taught me. If I cultivate with [Phoenix Art] in the future, my Soul Power can become more solid and abundant! And..."

Feng Baiyu paused before continuing, "After receiving my authorization, other Soul Masters who possess bird-type soul beasts can also cultivate [Phoenix Art]!"

"No wonder you said this reward would be useful to me too." After hearing the words "God Rank cultivation art," Feng Qingluan was not overly excited.

To him, his grandson took priority over himself. As long as it benefited his grandson, it did not matter much whether it benefited him.

Ever since his grandson's martial soul awakened, Feng Qingluan had indirectly gained quite a few benefits. Now that another God Rank cultivation art had appeared, he was no longer surprised.

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

"Well..." Feng Baiyu hesitated before saying, "Cultivating [Phoenix Art] requires my authorization. Right now, I can authorize Soul Masters with fire-attribute bird-type soul beasts and wind-attribute bird-type Soul Masters to cultivate it, but it requires a drop of my blood."

"Those who cultivate [Phoenix Art] are equivalent to my subordinates. They can never betray me or even harbor thoughts of harming me. And..." Feng Baiyu looked at his grandfather and said, "With a single thought, I can make them die."

"There's even something this good?"
