Chapter 618 Phoenix Divine Identification Technique

Lin Xuan passed through the Chaotic Arrow Array at top speed. Whereas he’d been slightly injured before, this time he passed without a scratch, completely dominating the trial with his sheer velocity!

Not only were the projectiles in the Chaotic Arrow Array fast, but every single arrow possessed terrifying destructive power. Lin Xuan’s Physique was already quite strong, yet the arrows could still easily inflict horrifying wounds upon him. Getting pierced was a minor issue; if he were to be hit and forced to stop, the result would be certain death.

This was an undeniable fact. Anyone who had faced this situation before had met their end.

Thus, the key was speed. One had to be fast, and one’s Body Technique had to be good enough to dodge. As it happened, Lin Xuan possessed both, which was why he was so confident he could pass the Chaotic Arrow Array.

After passing with ease, Lin Xuan landed gracefully on the ground and quickly retracted the Phoenix Wings that had erupted from his back. The rate of Elemental Power consumption was terrifying, so he had to withdraw them immediately.

‘I passed, huh? The Chaotic Arrow Array really lives up to its reputation. Good thing my abilities have improved, otherwise that would have been pretty difficult!’ Lin Xuan thought, looking down at several wounds on his body that were deep enough to show bone. He now knew just how terrifying the power of the Chaotic Arrow Array was.

If he hadn’t absorbed the Phoenix Essence Blood, his injuries would have been far more severe. He still would have been able to pass, but he would have been in a much sorrier state and would have needed a long time to recover fully.

Now, by circulating the Phoenix Essence Blood within him, his wounds began to heal at a visible rate. Thanks to its powerful regenerative properties, the gashes were rapidly closing.

Since he had passed the trial, he sat down on the spot to meditate and recover from his injuries, as well as to stabilize his Elemental Power after such a massive burst. The brief sprint had consumed a terrifying amount of his energy.

To the members of the Demon Race watching from the outside, this scene was utterly horrifying. His ability was simply too great. It was one thing to have Phoenix Wings, but to be able to unleash such terrifying speed… not even a member of the Phoenix Race at the same level could compare!

“H-How is he so fast? Even after absorbing Phoenix Essence Blood, he shouldn’t be able to move at that speed…” a Phoenix Elder muttered. This was already beyond his comprehension.

There were many things that had exceeded their expectations, and they were all stunned. It all felt so unbelievable. For Lin Xuan to suddenly explode with such terrifying speed… It completely blew their predictions out of the water. It felt as if he were on a completely different level.

Dragon King Hei Chen frowned. With that astonishing explosive power, it was no wonder he could instantly kill the disciples of his own clan. Now he finally understood the true extent of Lin Xuan’s strength, but this knowledge only fueled his rage. He wished he could personally crush Lin Xuan to death.

It wasn’t enough that he had killed his son; he had also left two of his clan’s most talented disciples little more than vegetables! This was a debt of hatred that could never be repaid.

Although Lin Xuan had spent a long time on the second trial, he had passed the third at the fastest possible speed, taking an absolute lead over everyone else! That’s right—everyone, including Bingxin and the Fire Phoenix King, had been easily left in the dust.

In that sense, this trial was both very simple and very difficult. It was simple because if you were fast enough, you could pass in an instant. The difficulty lay in the fact that if you failed, it was a one-way road to death…

After a short rest, Lin Xuan’s injuries were mostly healed. He stood up and began walking forward. He wasn’t sure how the others were faring; all he knew was that he had to be fast. He had spent so much time on the second trial that he felt he had to make up for it now.

Little did he know, he had already surpassed everyone and was on his way to the fourth trial. But before that, there was a grand prize waiting for him!

Each trial came with a corresponding reward, and this one was no exception.

As Lin Xuan walked forward, he finally reached the reward area for this trial. He entered another chamber where numerous Stone Slabs floated in mid-air, each enveloped in a shroud of Red Energy.

When the Phoenix Race Elders saw this, one of them sighed deeply. “To think that our Phoenix Race’s Martial Arts would fall into the hands of an outsider… All we can hope for is that he picks the worst one…”

All the Stone Slabs floating in the room contained outstanding Martial Arts of the Phoenix Race. Of course, they varied in quality, but even the “worst” among them was an excellent Celestial Level Martial Art. After going through so much hardship to pass the trial, it would be a cruel joke to receive a useless technique.

‘Phoenix Martial Arts…’

Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up. He now possessed a good amount of Phoenix Essence Blood, but he still lacked a corresponding Top Level Martial Art to go with it. The Phoenix Soul in his memory had very few complete Martial Arts. If he could obtain a high-grade Phoenix Martial Art now, it would be a joyous occasion indeed.

‘Which one should I choose?’ Lin Xuan thought as he looked up at the floating Stone Slabs. There were quite a few of them, at least ten or so.

Picking the best one out of so many would be difficult; there was no way to tell them apart by appearance alone. He could only choose one. If he tried to take more, he would be punished.

‘Can’t tell them apart, huh…’

A glint flashed in Lin Xuan’s eyes. He activated the Soul Pearl within his body, and instantly, the Energy shrouding the Stone Slabs turned transparent, allowing him to clearly read the characters carved upon them!

‘Phoenix Celestial Chapter… Phoenix Heaven-Supporting Technique… Phoenix…’

After scanning them one by one, Lin Xuan’s gaze finally locked onto a particular slab. His eyes widened in delight. ‘This is the one!’

He leaped into the air and snatched the Stone Slab. The moment his hand made contact, the layer of Energy around it shattered automatically, and the slab settled gently into his palm.

There was no further test here. A reward was a reward, and they didn’t make it unnecessarily difficult to claim.

At that moment, the Phoenix Elders watching from outside held their breath. They were all praying inwardly, ‘Please, don’t let him pick a good Phoenix Martial Art!’

Finally, when they could clearly make out the words written on the Stone Slab, one of the Elders’ eyes went wide, and he promptly fainted, only to be quickly caught by the Elder standing beside him.

“The Phoenix Divine Identification Technique… How could he have chosen that one?” a Phoenix Elder mumbled, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

It wasn’t just them; everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded. But the most shocked of all were the members of the Phoenix Race, because this was their clan’s strongest martial art—the Phoenix Divine Identification Technique!

It was a technique renowned throughout the entire Demon Race Continent, for the Phoenix Divine Identification Technique was a path to Divine Cultivation. In other words, it was a Reincarnation Level Martial Art!

A Reincarnation Level Martial Art! How could the Elders not faint from shock? Their clan’s ultimate Reincarnation Level Martial Art had been taken, and by a human no less. It was a mercy they had only fainted; it was a miracle they hadn’t coughed up blood from sheer apoplexy…

Lin Xuan, of course, knew what this Martial Art was. That was why he had taken it without the slightest hesitation. If you’re going to take something, you might as well take the best!
