[One of seventy-two devil pillar clans, Phenex Clan's Bloodline]

'Yuhao, are you going to test the power of Draconic Deus's devil on the Douluo Dalu's native now?' Eluxia asked from the Spiritual World.

Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, 'Yes.'

'We have seen the potential shown from the Draconic Deus's people.'

'Right now, I want to see what happens when otherworldly elements, such as bloodline, make contact with our native.'

'Hmm, this girl is an interesting subject.' Eluxia commented on Ma Xiaotao with an amused look.

The necromancer observed Ma Xiaotao's body and discovered that the latter possessed a pure Martial Soul. If she remembered correctly, this girl cleansed her Evil Fire Phoenix with Huo Yuhao's help and changed into the Origin Phoenix.

She also knew that the Phenex Clan, one of the 72 Devil Clans, was not really evil. In contrast to the 72 Devil Pillars she knew.

The Phenex Clan bore extreme regenerative ability, granting them immortality, but you can still kill them with a hard enough hit.

They also could wield Hellfire and Wind Element.

What would happen when these aspects become one with Ma Xiaotao, the Origin Phoenix's possessor?

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Ma Xiaotao calmed her breath and sat down on the ground.

She summoned her Origin Fire Phoenix and slowly pulled the spirit ring of the Three-Headed Eagle, absorbing it into her martial soul.

Any experienced Spirit Master wouldn't be this calm when absorbing a spirit ring in the middle of the Star Dou Forest. However, Ma Xiaotao wasn't worried because she had Huo Yuhao's protection.

She glanced at Huo Yuhao and saw him nodding at her.

She smiled at Huo Yuhao and used the Breathing Technique that the demonic lady(Scathach) taught her.

Spirit energy in her body flowed to every meridian, opening them.

Several faint green lines lit up on Ma Xiaotao's skins, which baffled the Shrek's group.

"What are those?" Wang Dong frowned slightly.

"Those green lines shouldn't be there, right?"

"Yes..." Bei Bei nodded. "I believe Dragon Nest's exchange students called them 'Spirit Circuits' or something..."

"They never told them its function."

"Yuhao, explain!" Tang Ya approached Huo Yuhao and shook his arm. She has this curious look on her face.

Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "Unfortunately, I can't say much."

"Hehe, it's okay. Just tell us some nifty details~!" Tang Ya's slender cat-like eyes lit up.

Huo Yuhao felt everyone's gaze, including Princess Xu and her three companions.

He sighed as if it was a hard decision and replied, "Very well."

"Spirit Circuits is a pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through one's body and what qualifies one to be a Spirit Master based on the Dragon Nest's standard."

"As for its function, it refines raw energy from the surrounding into life force. I can't say anything further than that..."

"Pseudo-nervous system." Xu Jiujiu stared at Ma Xiaotao's fair hands covered by blinking green lines.

"Refine raw energy into life force..." Wang Dong frowned slightly.

She felt this process was familiar.

The same goes for the Tang Sect's members as they glanced at each other.

Mysterious Heaven Technique!

Their cultivation technique bore similarities to the Spirit Circuits. Yet they felt there was more to it.

There is no way 'Spirit Circuits' only refine surrounding energy into life force. There must be more details they missed.

But then, they are not qualified to ask more about it.

It must be difficult for Huo Yuhao to say all this to them.

Unknown to them, Huo Yuhao is as carefree as usual. Even if he leaked the information of the Spirit Circuits, it doesn't matter much for the Dragon Nest anymore.

In the past, Huo Yuhao was cautious because hungry wolves were everywhere.

But now? Those wolves are nothing but cute puppies to him.

The only threatening factors in this world are Gods in the Divine Realm.

And other Divine Realms.

Ma Xiaotao quickly absorbed her new spirit ring, adding the new one to the fives she possessed. She stared at the small bottle Huo Yuhao tossed to her earlier.

Although Ma Xioatao didn't know what it was, the content of this bottle felt intimate for some reason. No, it feels like her Martial Soul is longing for it.

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, opening the bottle's cap.

The inside is a concentrated red liquid.

She drank the liquid, and her eyes widened as a golden flame erupted from her body.

Ma Xiaotao felt extremely hot. It usually won't happen as she possessed Origin Phoenix Martial Soul, which granted her immunity toward the fire element.

"Uugh. I don't feel so good."

Huo Yuhao flashed to her side and consoled, "Sit straight."

"Inhale air, and exhale the heat out..."

"Absorb the blood into your heart and spread it into your veins."

"Accept its power."

Huo Yuhao's True Ancestor's Eyes of the Lord observed the change in Ma Xiaotao's body. Since this world doesn't have demonic energy, the Phenex Clan's bloodline adapted inside her and produced more life force instead.

The life force enriched Ma Xiaotao's physique and promoted her cultivation.

Ma Xiaotao just broke through into the Spirit Emperor Realm.

Her spirit rank is around level 63, maybe near level 64.

Yet, due to this sudden life energy boost, Ma Xiaotao jumped to level 67 instantly and kept increasing rapidly.

Ma Xiaotao's red hair gained a streak of gold, becoming more silky than before. Her Phoenix Flame also experienced the change.

After reaching level 69, Ma Xiaotao gasped and fell to Huo Yuhao's knee.

"Haa..."

"What was that?"

"What did you make me drink?"

"A bloodline, a special one." Huo Yuhao answered vaguely. He watched Ma Xiaotao's spirit rings appear gradually from thin air.

The spirit rings have aged slightly.

But what makes Huo Yuhao furrow his brows is their pattern.

Once a Spirit Master absorbs a spirit ring, that spirit ring will have a specific pattern like their martial soul. A spirit marks people widely recognized.

Ma Xiaotao's spirit mark was once a red bird. And after absorbing the Phenex Clan's bloodline, the red bird gained golden quality.

It was a faint change, but almost everyone noticed it.

Yes, this isn't a simple mutation.

It is a literal upgrade.

"How was it? Do you feel weird?" Huo Yuhao asked Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao huffed, "No, I felt great instead."

"I've never felt so energized in my life. As if the Phoenix flame is constantly burning in my chest and supplying me with energy."

"It's good then." Huo Yuhao patted her head warmly. "You're now one step closer to greatness."

"What do you mean-! Oh my god, my cultivation~!" Ma Xiaotao squealed in surprise. "How did it increase so much?"

Ma Xiaotao was shocked.

She has never heard someone break through into the Spirit Emperor Realm and rise by eight levels instantly.

Huo Yuhao poked her forehead gently and commented, "That's for the better."

"In the next Continental Tournament between Academies, we might fight each other."

"If you could touch me once, I'll grant a wish for you, Senior Ma." He added, chuckling at her current dumbfounded expression.

'Wish?!' Xiao Xiao and Princess Xu froze on the spot.

"Yuhao/Huo Yuhao!" Xiao Xiao and Princess Xu approached him with an interested expression.

"Those words of yours... I would like to partake in it as well." Princess Xu eloquently said.

"Yes. it's not acceptable that you only bet with Senior Ma." Xiao Xiao added despite her annoyance toward the Princess.

Huo Yuhao grinned at them, "Then, we will see about that soon."
