"Inverted Phoenix Nurturing Body?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhixing’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
A trace of imperceptible suspicion flashed through his eyes. This was already the second time he had heard about this so-called Inverted Phoenix Nurturing Body. The first time was just a few days ago. During a conversation between Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli, they had mentioned he possessed this type of constitution. Although Wen Zhixing was puzzled, he didn’t ask.
Clearly, these people were mistaken. Wen Zhixing was very clear about his own constitution; it had nothing to do with this "Inverted Phoenix Nurturing Body."
This constitution is probably related to essence absorption... Si Nanyan values me so much; could it also be because of my constitution?
Wen Zhixing had suspected as much, and this seemed to confirm it.
"Why, Junior Brother Wang, are you unwilling?" Yun Xinyue asked, noticing Wen Zhixing hadn’t moved for a while. Her beautiful eyes lifted slightly, a hint of a smile touching her lips.
"Then how would Senior Sister Yun like to witness it?" Wen Zhixing’s mind stirred, and he looked up at Yun Xinyue, his gaze intensely aggressive.
"Junior Brother Wang, you must have misunderstood," Yun Xinyue said, covering her mouth with a faint smile. She then gestured towards Bai Luqiu. "Isn’t there a ready-made example right here?"
"Oh, so Senior Sister wishes to observe a live demonstration?" Wen Zhixing suddenly laughed.
But then, his smile vanished in an instant. "However... I’d prefer to try it with you, Senior Sister!"
No sooner had his words fallen than a large hand brushed across Yun Xinyue’s tender face.
"You!" Yun Xinyue’s figure shot back, fury flashing in her beautiful eyes. The audacity!
"What’s the matter, Senior Sister Yun? Are you still trying to preserve your chastity?" Wen Zhixing looked down at his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, filled with playful amusement.
As a member of the Devil Race, this was exactly the kind of brazen arrogance expected of him.
"You... how dare you! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to move against you!" Yun Xinyue shouted, her ample chest heaving. Her slender white hand slapped forward once more.
As the sound subsided, an invisible pressure instantly descended. And another ’reward’—a dragon claw!
This was the pressure from a Genuine Dragon, one of the divine beasts! Everyone present felt their breathing become heavy. Their hearts pounded as if hammered by a giant mallet, and an indescribable sensation of oppression and suffocation enveloped them.
"Mind Capturing Skill!" Wen Zhixing was prepared. His eyes narrowed instantly, a terrifying gleam flashing within them!
In an instant, a Divine Soul Force, crackling with electric light, shot out from his pupils.
The lofty Yun Xinyue, caught off guard, stared blankly for a moment.
The massive dragon claw vanished. All the pressure dissipated without a trace.
"Senior Sister, there’s no need for such roughness. This junior brother won’t disappoint you," Wen Zhixing said, flashing to Yun Xinyue’s side in an instant. He then leaned close to her ear and whispered with a smile, "If you don’t try it yourself, how could you witness the true power of the Inverted Phoenix Nurturing Body, Senior Sister? What do you say?"
The next moment, Yun Xinyue regained her senses. She felt his warm breath on her ear, tickling her skin. Before she could counter, Wen Zhixing had already pulled away.
What kind of secret skill was that! Yun Xinyue’s heart pounded. Just now, she felt as if her divine soul had lost the ability to think. Even though she recovered in an instant, in battle, that short period was enough to gain a decisive upper hand.
"Senior Sister Yun, I’ll be waiting for you," Wen Zhixing said with a faint smile. He then turned and walked away, without a second glance at Yun Xinyue, who remained rooted to the spot.
Bai Luqiu glanced at Yun Xinyue before unhurriedly following him.
That just now... was that a Devil Race secret skill... Yun Xinyue watched the two figures depart, motionless. A trace of apprehension flickered in her beautiful eyes. His cultivation was only at the Fourth Realm, yet she hadn’t gained any advantage. Hardly surprising, considering his devil soul was nurtured by a Fifth-level Devil Seed. Indeed, he was not to be underestimated.
「Outside the dungeon.」
Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu walked out, one after the other.
The next moment, Wen Zhixing’s complexion turned deathly pale, and he staggered.
"Junior Brother, what’s wrong!" Bai Luqiu cried out in alarm and quickly steadied him.
"It’s nothing." Wen Zhixing took a deep breath. "Just the backlash from the secret skill."
"Backlash..." Bai Luqiu was startled, then understanding dawned. "Junior Brother, was it that move just now..."
"Mm." Wen Zhixing nodded.
The Mind Capturing Skill might only be of White Quality, but it was surprisingly effective each time it was used. However, it also had a backlash. This secret skill, after all, forcibly controlled the opponent’s mind. The stronger the opponent’s divine soul, the less effective the skill, and the more severe the backlash.
Just now, when Wen Zhixing used the Mind Capturing Skill, his entire divine soul had begun to roil. This was the secret skill’s backlash. Yun Xinyue’s divine soul was far stronger than he had imagined.
As expected of a Blazing Gold Quality cultivation skill. This Fortune Divine Devil Skill must provide a considerable boost to the divine soul, Wen Zhixing thought. Otherwise, Yun Xinyue’s divine soul couldn’t possibly have grown so strong in such a short period.
"Let’s go." Bai Luqiu supported Wen Zhixing, and they transformed into streaks of light, speeding far away. For original chapters go to novel★fire.net
"Junior Brother, are you truly alright?" A trace of worry flashed in Bai Luqiu’s eyes.
"Senior Sister, I’m fine. I just need to rest and recuperate for a bit," Wen Zhixing shook his head; his complexion gradually regained its color. His divine soul wasn’t weak to begin with, so its recovery was naturally swift.
Seeing this, Bai Luqiu relaxed.
Wen Zhixing closed his eyes and began using Visualization methods to recover his divine soul. After a moment, his breathing stabilized.
The Fortune Divine Devil Skill truly is formidable. It’s a pity the Nine-turns Sun Sutra offers no such enhancement to the divine soul; its primary strength lies in fortifying Spiritual Qi.
