Chapter 468: When the Number Goes Wrong

468 When the Number Goes Wrong

Alex and Shelka came out of the ship. Shelka had come to this continent previously, so she was not really shocked by the sight. But, when Alex saw the continent, he was amazed.

He could already see a few volcanoes in front of his eyes. Inside of the volcano, there were a few phoenixes bathing on the hot of that blazing magma, according to his Spirit Eyes.

Not only that, but he could also see a few phoenixes roaming in the sky. Their size was far bigger than Kyle, albeit Kyle usually used his small form as far as he remembered. Even so, this sight was truly fascinating.

Suddenly, Kyle came out of his body. He was acting purely on instinct.

"Kyle?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.

"Phoenix?" Shelka retreated a few steps back as she observed the small phoenix, Kyle.

"Master… I just feel something… I don't know what it is, but this is like my instinct. I feel like I need to go toward there." Kyle suddenly spoke and pointed toward the west.

"!!!" Shelka was surprised to see Kyle already had the ability to speak. This meant he was already a Tier 5 Phoenix. She confirmed it after checking his power. Still, the most shocking thing was Alex hosted a Phoenix inside his body, this was madness. Unexpectedly, when Kyle pointed his wing toward the west, she was dumbfounded.

"Is that so? Hmm, I need to check what is there first before we can go. I still need to go to challenge the trial after all."

"I am fine with it, Master. After all, Master's matter is more important." Kyle nodded his head furiously.

"Wait… West… that direction is… the trial place." Shelka shouted to Alex.

"!!!" Alex furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Shelka. He then turned to Kyle and said, "Don't tell me… Kyle, are you some kind of stranded prince that comes to that forest? After a few thousand years, you keep dying and reincarnating again and again until you meet me?"

"I don't know. I am in that forest before I know it." Kyle shook his head.

"I see. Well, we will find out later. You might be my cheat in this trial." Alex laughed.

"I don't know what Master is talking about, but I am happy if I am useful to Master."

"Wait, Sir Supreme, there is another thing we need to do in this town, which even royalty like me can't avoid." Shelka suddenly spoke.

"What is it?" Alex asked.

"The phoenix wants to test our element ability for the record. I am sure one of their Tier 6 Phoenix will come here soon." Shelka said.

"Is that so?" Alex pondered. A matter that even royalty like Shelka could not avoid. He looked at Kyle and said, "Alright. Come back inside for a bit."

"Yes." Kyle nodded and vanished.

"Sir Supreme, may I know why you have a phoenix? By how he addresses you, is he your servant or pet?" Shelka looked at him with a troubled expression.

"I took him in as my family a few years ago," Alex said.

"This… might be troublesome."

"What do you mean?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows, but before Shelka could answer. They heard a shout from the sky.

"For a big ship, we need to measure you one by one. I, Ricky, will be in charge of today's testing."

Alex looked toward the sky and saw a giant phoenix coming toward them. He was surprised to see the phoenix was a Tier 6. Even more so when he saw the phoenix suddenly turned into a human with phoenix wings on his back.

"I believe it is better for me to talk with all of you this way." The phoenix turned into an old man with glasses on his eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Alex.

The phoenix came toward him, but it seemed it was a false alarm. Because when he arrived, he suddenly came toward Shelka. "Your Highness Shelka. I, Ricky, welcome you to our continent. May I know the reason why you come here as there is no statement from the royal family about this?"

"I am just coming here for personal business. However, I indeed need to meet with the royal family about this." Shelka smiled and said politely.

"We are honored to have your presence in this kingdom. I will guide you to our Blazing City if you want to meet the royal family." Ricky nodded.

"Then, thank you very much, Sir Ricky." Shelka nodded gracefully.

"But we need to record you first. I am sorry, but this is our tradition, your highness."

"I understand. Please lead the way."

Ricky nodded. He led Shelka and Alex together with all the passengers in the ship toward the north gate. They could see many people lining up for the testing. There were two crystals in front of them.

Shelka looked at Alex and explained. "These two crystals are to see whether you have a connection with Phoenix Race as well as your talent in the fire.

"The first crystal is to measure your bloodline. It will give you a number from 0-100. If you get 100 points, it means you are a Pure Phoenix. However, if you only get around 30, it means you have at least one phoenix member in your family within your five generations.

"After that, the blood will dilute even more and you might even reach 0 point. If I am not wrong, you can be considered a Phoenix if you have at least 70% blood purity. The higher the purity, the harder to increase. If I am not wrong, the phoenix queen in this continent only has 98% purity."

Alex nodded. "How about the second one?"

"The second orb will measure your talent on a scale of 0-10. If you have another element, you usually will have 0-2. As for the rest of the points, it will measure how strong the fire in your body is." Shelka answered. "Of course, with your Pure Fire Element, you will get the maximum point no one ever gets. This way, we can easily enter the Phoenix Queen Palace, where Sir Supreme can finish their trial. Ah, for your information, the queen's score is 9."

Alex pondered for a moment. "What if I don't have a perfect score?"

"Sir Supreme is joking. However, in case you don't have it, we can just use my identity to meet them." Shelka answered like she was sure Alex would have a perfect score and scared all of them. At that time, when their royal family knew about it, she could declare Alex was her husband. She was laughing inside.

"Then, I will go first to show Sir Supreme how it's done," Shelka said as she came toward the crystals.

"Shelka La Muerte."

The old man called Ricky nodded and recorded it. He then said, "Please."

Shelka then placed her hand on the first crystal.

0

0

It was normal for Shelka to have both 0. The taboo about marrying other races already made her bloodline pure. In contrast, the Pure Wind Element dominated all the elements. Hence, her other elements were zero, as she did not have a dual element.

Shelka then came back and said, "Sir Supreme, it is your turn."

Alex nodded and came toward them. However, when he was about to place his hands on the first crystal, he was stopped by Ricky.

"Wait. The other two fire entities inside your body need to be registered too." Ricky frowned.

"!!!" Both Alex and Shelka were shocked. Alex was shocked because Ricky knew about Sherry and Kyle. He immediately opened his spirit status to see who he needed to level up if a fight with Tier 6 phoenix broke out. Meanwhile, Shelka was shocked because Alex had two entities. She thought it was only one, but it seemed there was another one inside him. She was wondering if it was another phoenix.

Alex took a deep breath before saying, "I don't know what you are talking about, Sir?"

"Do you think I am just a sidekick? I can clearly sense two other fire entities and one of them close to our phoenix race." Ricky said. "We phoenix is sensitive about this. Hurry up or I need to force you."

He pondered for a moment but decided to wait and see first. But before he called Kyle and Sherry, Shelka suddenly stepped forward. "Wait, Sir Ricky. This gentleman is coming with me. In fact, he is the one who needs to meet with the royal family. However, because of the time limit, our family could not issue a royal statement to your ruler. If you would, please see this letter."

Shelka handed a letter to Ricky. He took the teller and read it. After some time, he looked at Alex. "Both of them still need to be registered. I won't do anything to you for now, but I am sure the queen will also feel both existences, so if you wish to meet the royal family, you will also directly face this issue."

"Your Highness Shelka, this is outside my jurisdiction, so I am afraid your highness needs to deal with this by yourself."

"I know." Shelka nodded and looked at Alex.

He nodded and called, "Sherry, Kyle, come out."

The first one to come out was a phoenix with a huge vitality. Meanwhile, the other one was a cute white small fox. Shelka wanted to hug this cute creature instantly but she could not do it in front of Alex.

'Fufu… if he becomes my husband later, you are also my possession. After that, I will make sure to pat your smooth white fur. And that pink color in the tip makes it cuter… Ah, restrain myself, restrain myself.' Shelka took a deep breath while shaking the image of her fantasy from her mind.

The people were dumbfounded to see two creatures coming out of Alex's body, especially when they saw the phoenix.

"A phoenix?" Ricky furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Alex coldly. If there were an enslaved phoenix, the phoenix race would be hostile to you. However, he could also feel the phoenix was not forced or something, so there must be something else. Adding the fact he was coming with Shelka, he decided to let the queen handle considering Alex and Shelka were going to meet them.

"The Phoenix first. You are the second and the fox will be the third." Ricky showed a little bit of favoritism. This showed the hierarchy of this continent.

Alex simply looked at Kyle and nodded. "You go first."

Kyle nodded and placed his wing on the first crystal before going to the second crystal.

69

6

"..." Alex was surprised to see such a low score considering Kyle had evolved after eating his Pure Fire. Aside from that, he was even confused that Kyle only had 69 scores. After all, he was certainly a phoenix.

"Wait. You need to be in your real form." Ricky said.

Kyle tilted his head in confusion. He did not know what Ricky wanted, but nonetheless, he soared to the sky before growing to a huge phoenix. His wingspan alone could reach ten meters.

Because of that, Kyle was carefully descending to make sure he did not damage the surroundings. He slowly tapped the crystal with his wing.

69

9

"..." Alex was dumbfounded with the number. The bloodline aspect did not change and stayed on 69 while the element aspect turned from 6 to 9. He screamed inwardly. 'What the f*ck with that number!"

Even Ricky was shocked by this. Firstly, he was surprised the number on the bloodline crystal did not change despite turning into his real form. This never happened before as usual, when they utilized the true body, the number would also increase. It was like when Sherry turned bigger in a serious fight. It would enhance her power.

However, Kyle was out of their expectation. The only thing that changed was his Element aspect from 6 to 9. This meant Kyle's fire was as strong as the queen. Still, that number...
