Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

With such a commotion, Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping naturally noticed it.

The two ended their cultivation, sat up, and exclaimed, "Brother Wu has been in seclusion for a year. I didn't expect him to give us such a big surprise right away."

Chen Ping was a little confused: "What's going on? Why can I feel the captain's aura rising rapidly?"

Hunter appeared behind the two of them at some point and explained with a smile, "Wu Qi has gained the approval of the Azure Phoenix Divine Beast, to the point that the beast is willing to offer sacrifices for him."

"With his destined divine equipment, Wu Qi's current strength can no longer be judged solely by the standards of a Soul Master."

Bathed in azure light, the divine armor gradually took shape.

The divine armor gleamed with a deep blue luster, and two feather-shaped metal plates on the shoulder armor trembled slightly with each breath, as if a living creature were flapping its wings.

The pattern on the breastplate resembles the outstretched tail of a phoenix, and each armor plate is adorned with a silver chain as fine as a hair, which makes a clear and melodious sound when it moves, like the cry of a blue phoenix.

The wristband is inlaid with seven malachite-carved feather eyes, which shimmer with varying shades of blue-green when sunlight passes by, just like the gaze of a mythical beast.

The scales on its waist and abdomen are layered, resembling the soft texture of downy feathers on a bird's belly, yet they suddenly become sharp as blades at the joints. Most astonishing is the semi-transparent gauze hanging down its back, which, when unfolded, reveals a pattern of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, composed of dark patterns. Under the influence of divine power, a complete phantom of a blue phoenix will emerge.

The divine armor is formed, and the sacrifice ends.

The power that the divine beast sacrificed to him was not soul power, but divine power!

Currently, Wu Qi is unable to control divine power, so this power is entirely stored within his divine armor.

Of course, with Wu Qi's current abilities, he is also unable to use the divine skills of the divine equipment.

However, as a divine artifact located in the torso, its defensive capabilities are impeccable. Even if divine skills cannot be used, its effect is no less than any torso soul bone of the 100,000-year level.

The assessment was then completed.

"The second test of destruction has been completed, and the Azure Phoenix Divine Beast has given its approval."

"The reward is an increase of 10,000 years in the age of the Soul Ring and a 15% increase in Destruction Affinity."

"Overall affinity: 25%"

As the commotion subsided, Hunter led Qian Gu Chang Kong and the other man to Wu Qi's side.

"Congratulations, Angkor."

Wu Qi let out a long sigh and asked, "How long have I been in seclusion? Why do I always feel like a long time has passed?"

Qian Gu Chang Kong chuckled dryly and revealed the truth, "Brother Wu, you have been meditating here for more than a year, to be precise, one year and three months."

"If Hunter hadn't said you were alright, I was afraid you would have starved to death here!"

Wu Qi was immediately surprised, "More than a year has already passed!?"

One year and three months here would be equivalent to seven months in the Douluo Continent.

In the world of consciousness, although there is no concept of time, Wu Qi felt that not much time had passed at all.

He finally understood why there was no time limit for the assessment.

The flow of time in the world of consciousness is completely different from that in the real world.

If a time limit is set for the assessment, it is easy to exceed the time limit if you are not careful, and in the world of consciousness, it is impossible to perceive how much time has passed outside.

Gaining the approval of the Azure Phoenix is ​​difficult enough, but adding a time limit on top of that is even more challenging.

If that were to happen, the God of Destruction probably wouldn't want him to pass the test at all.

After regaining his senses, Wu Qi asked, "What's going on with you two? Have you broken through to a higher level?"

More than half a year ago, the two had already broken through to the Soul Emperor level, absorbing soul rings of 28,000 years and 36,000 years respectively.

Because of the Azure Phoenix Divine Feather's ability to cleanse and transform the marrow, the two's physical strength was enhanced, thus obtaining higher-level soul rings.

Hunter crouched down, looking at the scattered Azure Phoenix feathers, and said, "Wu Qi, you should keep all these feathers. The Azure Phoenix beast deliberately left them behind during its sacrifice; they were probably a gift for you." Qian Gu Chang Kong said, "Brother Wu, each of these feathers is as effective as a celestial herb. If we bring back so many, our Spirit Hall can create countless top geniuses in one go."

Wu Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't assume things too easily."

Even excluding all external factors, a genius who obtains a divine feather can cultivate safely and without harm.

But these people still need to hunt souls, right?

Low-level soul beasts are fine, but above the Soul Saint level, are there so many high-age soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Even if they did, after slaughtering so many high-level soul beasts in one go, would the ferocious beasts like Di Tian under the Lake of Life still be able to sit still?
The emergence of a large number of strong individuals in a short period of time is not necessarily a good thing.

Soul Masters are inherently a source of instability, and the sudden appearance of so many powerful individuals is a disaster for the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, Wu Qi would only keep these divine feathers for those around him to use, and would not allow them to circulate to the outside world in large quantities!

Hunter laughed and said, "The Divine Feathers are all yours; you can distribute them however you like."

"However, before the third test begins, give each of them one. Judging from their condition, they should still be able to continue fusing."

Wu Qi was never stingy with his own people.

However, these divine feathers cannot be placed in a soul tool; they can only be stored in a small space inside the divine equipment.

This space cannot be opened by anyone except Wu Qi.

It can be said that even if Wu Qi is killed, these divine feathers will not be taken away by outsiders.

Unless another exceptional genius with the Azure Phoenix Martial Soul appears, no one will be able to absorb this divine equipment!

……

Having obtained the divine equipment, Wu Qi still needs to fully integrate it, which will take some time.

Before the third test began, he was simultaneously fusing the divine equipment and cultivating his soul power.

It should be noted that he possesses multiple soul bones, which, when fused together with divine equipment, can form a soul bone armor.

From then on, even if he couldn't defeat a Title Douluo, he could still survive a Title Douluo's full-force attack.

After activating the spirit ring, he discovered its abnormality.

Originally, the seventh soul ring was a divinely bestowed 100,000-year soul ring, but now it has turned into a cyan-gold soul ring.

Judging from the information fed back by the spirit ring, it became his natal spirit ring after being sacrificed by the Azure Phoenix Divine Beast.

The seventh spirit ring is meant to transform a spirit beast into its martial spirit form, making it its natal spirit ring, which greatly enhances Wu Qi's abilities.

Unexpectedly, the Azure Phoenix divine beast presented him with such a generous gift.

In the future, after inheriting the position of the God of Destruction, he may have the opportunity to resurrect the other party and repay this debt of gratitude.

……

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Wu Qi and the other two received the message from the Divine Test in their minds.

"The third trial of destruction: join forces to defeat Chen Nan, a peak Soul Douluo. The trial lasts for one month."

"Assessment completed. Reward: Soul Ring age increased by 20,000 years, Divine Power Affinity increased by 15%."

"Failure in the assessment means death."

For Wu Qi and the other two, this period of time had been spent on cultivation and they had not experienced actual combat.

After breaking through a certain level of strength, if one does not consolidate their realm through actual combat, it is inevitable that their soul power will become unstable.

This third test was undoubtedly a timely help. (End of Chapter)
