Chapter 65 - Free

Regarding the crimson flame phoenix’s inheritance, Wang Ye didn’t have a very strong yearning to obtain it. After all, Xiao Jiu’s two great skills had already reached the peak mastery stage, and Intimidation was just a step away from the great success realm.

It could be said that its evolution was already within reach.

But to be safe, if he could obtain the phoenix bloodline, even if it was just a little bit, the growth limit for Xiao Jiu’s future evolution would then increase.

More importantly, it could probably live longer in the simulations as well. With that, perhaps it could trigger more plots, comprehend more skills, obtain more powerful characteristics, and level up its six dimensions.

Therefore, it was best for him to get it if he could…

At this moment!

Xiao Jiu let out a loud cry, and a powerful aura abruptly erupted from its body!

It spread its wings, and its eyes were like Phoenix eyes, faintly burning with a flame.

In an instant, although it was still the same green sparrow and its body didn’t even change, its aura had already undergone an earth-shattering change!

As its aura erupted, it seemed to solidify and form a faint energy phantom.

The phantom’s shape was like a bird, but not a bird, like a phoenix, but not a phoenix…

Intimidation + Phoenix Masquerade!

“This!!” The ancient tung tree spirit was shocked!

The branches all over its body shook!

If it had eyes, its pupils would have been shaking as well!

This aura! Although it was very weak, it wouldn’t be mistaken. It was indeed the aura of the king of birds, the Phoenix race. It was even a bit similar to the aura of a divine sparrow!

How could this be?!

It was just a green sparrow!

How could it have such an aura?

The ancient tung tree spirit could be considered to have lived for a long time. At this moment, as it felt the aura of the sparrow that was but dozens of centimeters long, it began to doubt its life experience…

Could it be that this was really a green sparrow that had the bloodline of the Phoenix race hidden in it?

At this moment.

“Chi!” Suddenly, an ancient screech sounded from the top of the ancient tung tree spirit.

It was like a call from ancient times, but it was also as if something had been awakened!

“Hm?” The ancient tung tree spirit was shocked, “The soul of the crimson flame phoenix was awakened? This, this, this, does it really have the bloodline of the true phoenix?”

Wang Ye raised his head and took a look.

He could only see a beautiful and huge divine bird gradually appearing on the top of the tree, but it did not come down. It only circled on the top of the tree.

Even at this distance, Wang Ye could see it clearly!

So this was the crimson flame phoenix?

It was indeed very similar to the Phoenix in the myths, at least 70-80% similar.

Xiao Jiu, who was at the side, also raised its head to look. It was in a daze as if it was shocked by the beauty and size of this bird, as well as its natural pressure!

After looking for a while, Wang Ye suddenly felt that Xiao Jiu’s information had changed.

Intimidation had broken through to the great success realm!

“…” Wang Ye.

Damn, he didn’t expect that just after taking a look at the true body of the crimson flame phoenix, Xiao Jiu’s skill had broken through.

“Senior? How is it?” Wang Ye coughed and asked.

The ancient tung tree spirit was silent.

If it hadn’t seen it firsthand, it wouldn’t have believed it.

“I still don’t believe it…” The ancient tung tree spirit said in a deep voice, “The crimson flame phoenix was indeed awakened, but it only circled around the top and didn’t descend. Perhaps it also has some doubts… If it had reincarnated, it would have been able to tell.”

Wang Ye said in his heart, “If the crimson flame phoenix had really reincarnated, he estimated that it would probably be able to see through Xiao Jiu’s fake identity with a glance.”

“How about this,” That ancient tung tree said after some thought, “The aura is indeed the phoenix aura as you claimed, and the bloodline is hidden so it can’t be sensed. It is extremely difficult to activate the Phoenix race bloodline. However, pets that possess the Phoenix race bloodline are born with intelligence and spirituality. Their learning ability is extremely strong. I will teach it an advanced skill. If it can learn it in a day, no, three days, I can try to guide the soul of the crimson flame phoenix to descend and give it some inheritance. As for how much it can obtain, it will depend on its ability.”

“No problem!” Wang Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

As soon as he said this, a tree branch gently fell and touched the green sparrow’s head.

The green sparrow’s body shook as if it had understood something.

Then, the ancient tung tree spirit dropped a thick tree branch, which then slowly became smaller and smaller before quickly becoming bigger and bigger.

“This is the advanced skill, Free-size. It allows powerful pets to freely change their body size according to their desires, and to a certain extent, change their strength as well,” The ancient tung tree spirit seemed to be reminiscing as it said, “The pet can even change its size to several tens of times its own size.”

“What a powerful skill!” Wang Ye was stunned.

This sounded a bit like the Dharma Heaven and Earth in celestial cultivation stories!

Wasn’t it too powerful to be an advanced skill?

Well… there should be a difference.

“It already knows the skill now. Go and practice. You only have three days. When you’re done, come and look for me. If this green sparrow can learn it in three days, even if it doesn’t have the bloodline of the Phoenix race, its intelligence and aura are worthy of it obtaining the bloodline of the crimson flame phoenix,” After the ancient tung tree spirit finished speaking, it gave Wang Ye and Xiao Jiu a meaningful look

And the last sentence made Wang Ye feel slightly ashamed.

The senior ancient tung tree spirit might have sensed something, but wasn’t too sure.

After all, a combination of Intimidation and Phoenix Masquerade was indeed enough to intimidate others but was still only a bluff. This senior probably still had some doubts.

However, learning a skill… How could it be difficult for Wang Ye?

Wang Ye brought Xiao Jiu to the side and began to simulate.

“Now that you already know the skill, Free-size, you only need to work hard to cultivate this skill later. Don’t worry about anything else,” Wang Ye instructed.

It was actually very difficult to learn an advanced skill.

Xiao Jiu had only comprehended Sky-dance from observing the mysterious bird beast.

Otherwise, if he had just left Xiao Jiu to comprehend and cultivate itself, it probably wouldn’t be able to learn such a skill in a hundred years.

It was probably not easy to learn Free-size either, probably even more difficult than Sky-dance.

After all, Sky-dance was still a sky-type skill, so it was relatively easy for birds to comprehend it.

Free-size was not a sky-type skill, but a rare special-type skill.

The difficulty of learning such a skill was slightly higher than that of a soul-type skill.

Who knew how many years it would take to learn it?

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu was full of confidence!

[The pet information has been updated. The script is loading…]

[0 year old. The green sparrow has started training Free-size…]

[3 years old. The green sparrow is powerless to cultivate and can’t comprehend the key points. It feels very depressed and has started to wander around.]

[4 years old. The green sparrow has started to wander around. First, it came to the little black bear’s grave to pay its respects and continued to wander around.]

[6 years old. The green sparrow has decided to cultivate itself first. It will think about practicing the skill after it becomes stronger.]

[9 years old. The green sparrow feels that it is on the verge of success. It has some strength now. It continues to practice Free-size.]

[12 years old. It is still unable to grasp the key. The green sparrow continues to wander around while cultivating itself.]

[17 years old. One day, when the green sparrow was paying its respects to the little black bear, it accidentally encountered the parents of the little black bear. They were giant black bears that were more than a hundred meters tall that had once killed it with a single slap. It hurriedly ran to the side but was caught by the latter. When the green sparrow thought that it was going to die, the black bear put it down and beckoned for the green sparrow to follow it.]

[18 years old. The giant black bears brought the green sparrow with them and began to teach it to transform. At times, they were as big as mountains, and at other times, they were as small as ants as they traveled through the mysterious mountain range. When they met strong enemies, they would transform into huge mountain-like beasts and use reason to subdue the enemy. When they met the weak, they would turn into the size of a grain of rice and be friendly. The green sparrow seemed to have understood something. In a little more than a year, it comprehended the skill, Free-size.]

[20 years old. The giant black bear encountered a strong enemy, a giant ape. The green sparrow, being very brave, watched the battle from the side. It was accidentally hit by an energy wave from the battle and was instantly torn into pieces. It died.]

[Purple Characteristic Achievement: Fearless of Death]

[The simulation has ended. The green sparrow has survived for 20 years. One of the following three rewards may be retained.]

[Skill: Free-size.]

[Purple Characteristic Achievement: Fearless of Death.]

[20-year-old six-dimensional growth.]

“…” Wang Ye.

An opportunity had presented itself. He didn’t expect Xiao Jiu to learn the skill in just 20 years.

In reality, it might’ve taken less than a year, or even less!

This was its opportunity!

“That giant black bear might have been using a similar skill. It didn’t teach the skill through words, but through demonstrating instead. I didn’t expect Xiao Jiu to have such fortune,” Wang Ye was quite satisfied.

He chose the skill.

The simulation hadn’t taken long, and it had only been less than half an hour in reality.

“It seems that I can’t be too fast either…” Wang Ye thought for a moment and cleared his throat, “Let’s train for a while first. While we’re at it, let’s start using the evolution materials we’ve prepared. We’ll eat what we need to eat and use what we need to use. When you receive the inheritance later, you can directly evolve. What do you think?”

“Chirp, chirp!”
