Reborn as an Evil Fire Phoenix, More Children, More Blessings
On the Douluo Continent, at the heart of the Land of Extreme Flame, stood Phoenix Emperor Mountain!
A gigantic flying Soul Beast rested there, surrounded on all sides by boiling, steaming magma.
Beneath heaven and earth, firelight soared into the sky, and raging flames surged.
"Hot, so hot. Where is this?"
Yan Buhui opened his eyes and found himself at a volcanic vent, surrounded by magma.
"Ugh..."
"A magma zone?"
"A volcanic crater?"
"What the hell is this place? Don't you know I'm a college student who hates the heat more than anything during summer vacation?"
When Yan Buhui came to his senses,
he found that he had turned into a bird, a firebird!
"?"
Yan Buhui was startled. What firebird?! This is obviously a phoenix!
"What the hell!!! I transmigrated into a phoenix!"
Just as Yan Buhui was lamenting,
a familiar voice reached his ears.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, on awakening the More Children, More Blessings System!"
When Yan Buhui heard that, he said, "More Children, More Blessings? I've read more than a dozen books like that lately. They're harem stories about collecting women!"
"Unbelievable! I've become the kind of person I hate most. Well, maybe, just maybe, I'll end up eating my words!"
"But first things first, I should get out of here."
Then,
the voice of the More Children, More Blessings System rang out again!
"Host: Yan Buhui!" "Species: Evil Fire Phoenix!" "Sex: male!" "Cultivation age: one hundred thousand years!" "Territory: Land of Extreme Flame!" "Identity: hegemon of extreme flame, emperor of Evil Fire Phoenixes!" "Title: Flame Emperor!" "Bloodline: Evil Fire Phoenix (contains impurities and abundant evil fire)" "Abilities: Phoenix Fire Line, Phoenix Cloud-Piercing Strike, Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike, Phoenix Meteor Shower, Phoenix Scarlet Flame Flip, Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain!" "Domain: Phoenix Lord Domain!"
Among Soul Beasts, the strong were revered. The greater their cultivation age, the stronger they were.
The most famous were the Dragon God, the Nine Great Dragon Kings, Beast God Di Tian, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, and others.
"Me?"
"I actually got reborn as an Evil Fire Phoenix!!!"
Yan Buhui was shocked. As a respectable undergraduate, he should have been working himself to death for a salary of three thousand yuan.
But look at this!
He had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, hailed as the "Hydrogen Continent."
He was a phoenix, but why did it have to be in the Land of Extreme Flame?
Before Yan Buhui died, the thing he hated most was heat!
That was right: he would rather die in an air-conditioned room than be baked into a fried dough twist out on the street.
But the tree had already been made into a boat; all he could do was accept the fact.
Yan Buhui came back to his senses and joked to himself:
"Ahem... That was rude of me... Really not funny, Ma."
The More Children, More Blessings System? So he got stronger by having babies?
But where in the Land of Extreme Flame was he supposed to find a woman to mate with?
Even if he laid an egg, it would be a phoenix egg!
As the saying went, "A golden phoenix can come out of a chicken coop."
Those words were true. Wasn't Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix God, an example?
While Yan Buhui was pondering,
several clear voices interrupted him.
With the hearing granted by his cultivation as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Yan Buhui detected a Soul Master team. Among them were Soul Masters of a Soul Douluo expert's strength, as well as Soul Emperors, Soul Kings, and Soul Elders.
There were roughly a dozen of them.
Apparently... they had come to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings!
"Who?"
"Who has come here?"
Yan Buhui wondered in surprise. He could sense everything around the Land of Extreme Flame because he was the emperor and hegemon of this territory!
A hundred-thousand-year Evil Fire Phoenix!
Just as Yan Buhui was wondering,
the system's voice rang out in his mind again.
[Since this is the host's first time on the Douluo Continent!] [A special beginner's gift pack has been awarded!] [Would you like to claim it?] [Yes-No!]
"Damn, do you take me for an idiot?! Yes, yes, yes! Of course yes! Open it for me! I want to make a fortune, get filthy rich, and reach the pinnacle of life! Give me a piece of gold-quality equipment, all right?!"
Yan Buhui saw no reason to stand on ceremony with the damn system.
He had transmigrated to a place where he knew no one and nothing. Wouldn't a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo hammer him into a red Soul Ring? He didn't want that, becoming someone else's Soul Ring and a plaything in their hands!
If a Soul Beast didn't work hard, it wouldn't even be able to drive a Xiali when it grew up. All it could do was drop Soul Rings and Soul Bones as a dowry for someone else.
"Ding!"
"The beginner's gift pack has been opened!"
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining one Transformation Pill, which can exempt you from one heavenly tribulation!"
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining Nirvana Fire. With this fire's blessing, the host can possess an undying body!"
"Nirvana Fire, also known as the Fire of Life, is a flame without offensive capabilities. It is the Phoenix Clan's natal fire."
"When a member of the Phoenix Clan suffers irresistible harm or is about to die of old age, Nirvana Fire will engulf its body, burning away everything from this life so that it may undergo nirvana and be reborn into a second life."
"Each time a phoenix undergoes nirvana, it grows stronger. But unless absolutely necessary, a phoenix will not readily choose nirvana, because nirvana is not guaranteed to succeed. Hence, it is also called the undying bird!"
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. This treasure is made from the feathers of seven birds: phoenix wings, azure luan wings, great roc wings, peacock wings, white crane wings, swan wings, and owl wings. If the host uses it, flames will soar tens of thousands of meters into the sky, and the surrounding space will instantly be enveloped in a vast, majestic presence. Its power is immense! It will now serve as the host's protective fire-attribute magical treasure!"
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining three Soul Contract Scrolls!"
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining one Flame Pill, which can evolve the bloodline power of a fire-attribute Soul Beast!"
A string of notifications rang out one after another in Yan Buhui's mind.
To be honest, he was a little dazed. It was like a fucking dream, completely unreal.
But then he recovered and said, "I'm the emperor of Evil Fire Phoenixes! What the hell do I have to fear?!"
"Ahem... Although technically I'm a bird too, a bird emperor is still better than a cock!"
He immediately unleashed his pressure. The Soul Beasts around him that were several tens of thousands of years old dropped to their knees in worship, while the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were not so lucky. They were knocked unconscious on the spot.
Such was the pressure of a Soul Beast hegemon. It was terrifying indeed, enough to strike fear into the heart!
In the outer ring of the Land of Extreme Flame, within the Flame Phoenix Forest.
"Did you hear that, Huo Wu? That sound..."
Huo Tian'en, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, said to his beloved daughter behind him, drawing her attention to it.
"It was the cry of a phoenix..."
Huo Wu paused, then replied, "It seems the legend of the fire phoenix in the Land of Extreme Flame isn't false. Judging by that cry, I'd guess the Soul Beast's cultivation age is at least fifty thousand years!"
"Mm... Wushuang, you should learn more from your sister. Blazing Fire Academy will have to rely on you two in the future!" Huo Tian'en smiled and spoke to Huo Wushuang beside him.
Huo Wushuang scratched his head awkwardly. They had just been talking, so how had he gotten dragged into it? With no other choice, he could only bite the bullet and meekly back down. "Yes, Father. I'll do as you say and learn from my sister."
"Huo Yu, Huo Lie, Huo Yun, Huo Jun, Huo Chui, the same goes for you. The future of Blazing Fire Academy rests in the hands of you young people. When the time comes, you'll all have your chance to shine at the Soul Master Tournament!!!"
The others cupped their fists and replied one after another, "Don't worry, Dean. We will!"
"Then I can rest easy. Don't disgrace Blazing Fire Academy. We have to show Godwind, Thunder, and Skywater Academy who truly stands at the head of the Four Elements Academy!!"
Huo Tian'en held one hand behind his back and smiled easily as he replied.
He knew perfectly well how strong a Blazing Fire Academy team built around Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, with Huo Yu, Huo Lie, Huo Yun, Huo Jun, and Huo Chui supporting them, would be. They would definitely be the strongest generation in Blazing Fire Academy's history!
Previously, among the Four Elements Academy, Godwind Academy and Thunder Academy had been the strongest, followed by Skywater Academy, while Blazing Fire Academy had ranked at the very bottom.
"I can sense it... the presence of a woman..."
With that phoenix cry, Yan Buhui pinpointed Huo Wu's location and then said:
"I was wondering who had come. So it's this bunch from Blazing Fire Academy..."
