Chapter 125 Ancient Phoenix's Luck
Jin Miao raised his hand to summon a spiritual energy shield, but what pierced his chest was the natal spiritual weapon he had been searching for.

His own spiritual energy only slightly blocked his natal spiritual weapon before it was pierced through by Lin Zhao's immense force.

Jin Miao was, after all, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Even with his chest pierced, he could still grip his natal spiritual weapon and struggle.

After all, with a Golden Core stage body, as long as the Golden Core and brain are not damaged, these injuries can still be healed.

But will Lin Zhao give him time to recover?
Obviously not.

As Jin Miao's hand landed on her natal spiritual weapon, Lin Zhao's Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword had already pierced straight into the Divine Palace, and the powerful, scorching spiritual energy shattered the Golden Temple's Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core.

When she threw Jin Miao's body to the ground, her body covered in blood that was unclear whether it was Jin Miao's or her own, and shouted for everyone to stop, everyone was shocked by the murderous aura emanating from Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao mechanically swallowed pills to recover his spiritual energy and injuries. After landing on the ground, his gaze fell on the people of the Golden Crow Continent: "You have two choices: one, kill me now; two, hand over everything you have and voluntarily withdraw from the competition."

The vice-captain of Jinwu Continent wanted to say something, but seeing the corpse of Jin Miao beside Lin Zhao, he could only swallow his words silently.

Both sides were losing, and faced with two evils, they chose the lesser one, so they had no choice but to hand over everything they had to the people of the Heavenly Phoenix Continent.

"Don't be so smug," said the youngest boy from the Golden Crow Continent. "Our senior sister will definitely avenge us! She's even stronger than the captain. Your Heavenly Phoenix Continent will lose sooner or later!"

It was too late for the vice-captain of the Golden Crow Continent to cover his mouth.

However, to his surprise, Lin Zhao did not show any surprise upon hearing this. He simply waved his hand, crushed their competition tokens, and disappeared into the Heavenly Phoenix Source, signifying that one-third of the disciples of the Golden Crow Continent had been lost here.

"Captain." Zou Zihan stepped forward and bowed to Lin Zhao.

Now he was completely convinced by Lin Zhao. If he were to go up and fight Jin Miao, he would be dead in less than three moves.

Lin Zhao swallowed the metallic taste in his throat, unwilling to say more. He threw the map to them and told them to find the Fire Source Crystals: "I need to recover from my injuries first. You collect the Fire Source Crystals. After you've collected them, we'll distribute the resources and then go to join up with the other forces on the Heavenly Phoenix Continent."

With its current strength, even with her, the South China Sea Academy wouldn't have much of an advantage in the continental competition.

Everyone nodded and hurriedly began digging and searching.

Lin Zhao found a quiet place to keep them in check while recovering from his injuries and continuously refining his own spiritual energy with fire-source spiritual energy.

Qu Shu did not follow the main group to pick fruit, but walked not far from Lin Zhao, with the faint phantom of a silver phoenix appearing behind her.

He seemed to sense something and looked in one direction.

Yun Che was taken aback. He hadn't expected that a cultivator in the Enlightenment stage would be able to sense his presence, and the aura emanating from the other party was also very familiar.

Just how many people who don't belong to this plane are hidden in the Heavenly Phoenix Continent?
After a brief moment of doubt, Qu Shu did not delve into the origin of that familiar aura, but instead found an open space and sat down cross-legged.

The silver phantom behind him danced gracefully toward Lin Zhao. As Lin Zhao continuously refined his spiritual energy, Qu Shu's aura also rose steadily.

When Lin Zhao had completely refined his spiritual energy, the silver phoenix behind Qu Shu returned to his body, and at the same time, dark clouds poured down on Qu Shu's head, with lightning appearing and disappearing.

Lin Zhao noticed this and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Grandma, is he about to advance to the Golden Core stage?"

Ever since the silver phoenix phantom appeared behind Qu Shu, Granny Honghu had been suspicious of Qu Shu's identity. When she discovered that Qu Shu was able to improve his cultivation by taking advantage of Lin Zhao's luck and strength, she had already guessed Qu Shu's identity with great certainty.

"This kid's Golden Core quality won't be weak, get closer," Granny Honghu advised. Lin Zhao looked at the rolling thunderbolts, subconsciously took a breath, took a step back, shook his head and said, "Although I also admire Saint Qu, I'm not going to withstand this thunderbolt just to win a beauty's smile."

Of course, Lin Zhao is not afraid of heavenly lightning, but no normal person would like to be struck by lightning. Before, he risked his life to advance to the Golden Core stage. Now that he has other ways to avoid this suffering, Lin Zhao will naturally avoid it if he can.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, dark clouds quickly spread over Qu Shu's head.

Lin Zhao was speechless at the sight and turned to run away.

But it was too late. A bolt of lightning struck her, making Lin Zhao feel numb all over, and she immediately felt like cursing.

What does Qu Shu's promotion have to do with her?!

Unfortunately, the heavenly lightning wouldn't listen to her; for every bolt of heavenly lightning that Qu Shu endured, Lin Zhao also bore the brunt.

After Qu Shu completed his advancement, looking at the phoenix-patterned golden elixir radiating a faint sunlight within his inner palace, Qu Shu slightly curled his lips, when unexpectedly a hand landed on his shoulder.

He instinctively wanted to shake the person off, but the golden core within his body emitted a warm glow before his body could react.

Lin Zhao wiped his face, which was covered in gray from being struck by lightning, and asked in disbelief, "Saint Qu, no, Brother Qu Shu, why did I share the lightning tribulation with you when you advanced?"

The key point is that this is the Heavenly Thunder of the Fourth Nine Days! Qu Shu herself has taken quite a few hits, and she also enjoyed a while of the Heavenly Thunder of the Fourth Nine Days. What kind of situation is this?
Qu Shu met Lin Zhao's somewhat suspicious gaze, and somewhat embarrassedly pulled down the hand that was on her shoulder. A glint of light flickered in her usually cold and indifferent silver eyes.

"Because I am also burdened with destiny."

Lin Zhao didn't understand: "What does this have to do with luck?"

Isn't luck usually supposed to bring some unpredictable benefits? Why are they targeting the people around him so relentlessly?

Could it be that Qu Shu's luck is that of a god of misfortune? Thinking of this possibility, Lin Zhao's expression became somewhat difficult to control.

However, Qu Shu's answer quickly dispelled her wild thoughts, but it also made Lin Zhao feel somewhat uneasy.

"I possess the ancient phoenix's fortune."

Even if Lin Zhao wasn't interested in this kind of thing, he could still sense that Gu Feng Feng Yun was a perfect match for his own Gu Huang Feng Yun!

Immediately realizing something, Lin Zhao questioned Granny Honghu: "Master, did you already know?!"

Grandma Honghu felt a little guilty: "I only confirmed it after seeing his cinnabar appearance. Besides... isn't this good enough? You know, in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, many phoenixes never find a suitable phoenix in their entire lives. You're quite lucky, aren't you?"

Of course, she still had doubts. Logically speaking, even if the two phoenixes were a good match, the phoenix should not have to bear the same tribulation lightning for the phoenix.

But she knew that once she said those words, her disciple would definitely dig deep and find out the truth. Given Lin Zhao's current mindset, he would probably find it hard to accept reality.

Lin Zhao rolled her eyes speechlessly, glanced at Qu Shu with a complicated look, and spontaneously moved away from him.

Although the lightning strike was an unexpected disaster, it wasn't without its benefits. The twenty-five streams of spiritual energy she had refined with fire spiritual energy were now completely stabilized.

However, once is enough for this kind of thing.
