Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1473 - 416: True Phoenix Flame
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
"Third Sister, don't give up!"
Resolve flickered in Tata’s gaze. Despite being pushed to the brink of exhaustion, it poured every ounce of its soul into its song, raising the volume until the surge of restorative power reached a fever pitch.
It sensed that Youyou, enveloped in the radiant blaze, had reached the pivotal moment of her evolution. At this exact second, its recovery power was vital!
Finally, as the last of its energy drained away, Tata’s surroundings began to spin and blur.
Through a hazy veil, it witnessed the concentrated firelight take shape, manifesting as a majestic, soaring fire phoenix.
In the following instant, Tata’s world turned black, and it plummeted from the sky.
A pair of hands emerged from the fading flames, catching the falling creature.
Stepping out from the dissipating heat, Youyou appeared in her War Spirit Form. She gripped a spear in one hand while cradling Tata in the other.
Swirling around her was a fifteen-colored azure flame that danced incessantly.
Each flicker of these flames carried a devastating aura, seemingly capable of incinerating the very foundations of the world.
This was far beyond a simple fire elemental flame; it was a manifestation of pure rules.
Its true nature was the True Phoenix Fire, a supreme power born from the fusion of fifteen phoenixes, anchored by the rules of shattering and governed by the Phoenix Transformation Scripture.
Within the gathering light, the silhouettes of phoenixes flickered occasionally.
The faint, resonant cries of phoenixes echoed through the air, a sound destined to tear through the heavens whenever Youyou struck.
Her new battle attire featured white feathers and elegant shoulder accents, accented by blue ink-dyed patterns, fluttering feather bands, and cloud sleeves that mimicked wings.
This fresh garment blended a touch of feminine grace with Youyou’s natural heroic spirit, appearing both formidable and refined.
"Da...ʕŏᴥŏʔ" (Hm...)
Stirred by the presence of Youyou’s shattering rules, Tata’s own recovery rules triggered automatically, pulling it back to consciousness at an incredible speed.
Looking up at Youyou, Tata’s initial confusion was instantly replaced by pure joy.
With a wide grin, Youyou placed Tata on the ground and walked toward Lin Su.
"Oh! (❁´◡`❁)" (The primary skill of my War Spirit Form has evolved into the True Phoenix Flame!)
"It appears to be a true evolution indeed." Lin Su chuckled, his face finally showing a look of relief.
Lin Su didn't need a demonstration to understand the potency of the True Phoenix Flame currently shielding Youyou; he could feel its weight.
This power was clearly far more lethal than her previous raw Power of Shattering.
With a smile, Youyou dispelled the circling embers and reverted to her Battle Spirit Form, taking the shape of a young girl.
Along with the shift in her War Spirit Form, her Battle Spirit Form’s attire had also been updated with a brand-new design.
"Your contracted beast possesses potential far beyond my calculations," Feather Venerate couldn't help but remark in awe. "I previously assumed that mastering rules of fifteen different attributes was the absolute ceiling. I never expected that through self-fusion, the sixteenth rule would emerge as the core of its strength."
The surrounding immortals nodded in solemn agreement with Feather Venerate’s assessment.
Since Youyou’s breakthrough had reached its conclusion, they did not linger, departing for their own domains.
Nevertheless, the display of power Youyou had just unleashed had left a deep impression on their souls.
The eight-colored Immortal Crane of the immortal rank was particularly moved; seeing Youyou’s fusion rules in person made its own eight-attribute fusion feel somewhat lacking.
Perhaps... I should discard my current path and attempt to re-fuse my eight attributes into something new?
This radical thought suddenly took root in its mind.
Shaking the thought away for now, it decided to visit the Eastern Extreme Domain soon to consult with its kin in the Immortal Phoenix Sect.
"Feather Venerate, thank you for your guidance. Youyou could not have achieved such a flawless transformation without the assistance of the Chongming Light Realm’s power," Lin Su said with deep sincerity.
Standing beside him, Youyou offered a polite bow to Feather Venerate.
As the process continues, visualizing the phoenix becomes exponentially more difficult.
However, her light-attribute phoenix—the fourteenth in line—had been visualized almost effortlessly.
This was entirely thanks to Feather Venerate’s support.
That momentum had provided her with the extra strength needed to manifest the combat-attribute phoenix, eventually leading to this new evolution with Tata’s tireless help.
Thinking of this, Youyou glanced toward Tata.
To repay the favor, she decided she would push Tata even harder in training to ensure its recovery rules reached a breakthrough as soon as possible!
Resting in Lin Su’s arms, Tata suddenly felt a cold shiver run down its spine.
What was that?
It felt a sudden, ominous premonition that someone was plotting against it.
"It was no trouble at all," Feather Venerate laughed. "Should you require further aid, do not hesitate to ask."
"Nothing for the moment," Lin Su replied, shaking his head. "I’ve already coordinated with Senior Miao. During this quiet period, we plan to translate and analyze the various ancient scrolls recovered from the Lingxia Secret Realm."
"A wise choice. I look forward to the results," Feather Venerate said, his expression brightening.
"Then, we shall take our leave," Lin Su said with a smile, leading his five companions out of the Chongming Light Realm.
As he watched Lin Su walk away, Feather Venerate’s eyes grew misty with nostalgia.
The Emperor of Spirit Beasts had been just as legendary in the past!
No, this youth was becoming even more formidable than the Emperor of Spirit Beasts was at that stage.
It could already see a future where this young man would stand as the new titan of the Spirit Beast path, fundamentally altering the landscape of martial arts and beast taming.
It appeared that Youyou’s evolution had sparked a sense of urgency in her teammates, as they spent the following days training relentlessly for the third internal team competition.
Qiuqiu spent its time obsessively studying the Time Scripture Fragment, utilizing its Time’s Heart to master the intricacies of the temporal flow.
Guigui was buried in the Heaven Mending Scripture, treating Qiuqiu as its primary target while researching how to counter time-based powers using spatial rules.
Given that Qiuqiu possessed an overwhelming number of broken skills, simply banning them in the tournament wasn't enough; Guigui knew it had to work harder and find a creative solution.
Meanwhile, Yingying trained tirelessly within the Hell World, using the Nether Soul Palace Secret Technique to sharpen its ninety-nine Judgment Red Shadows. It also assisted Guigui in training the local denizens of Hell, hoping they would be combat-ready soon.
Youyou focused on mastering her newfound abilities, doubling down on her training sessions with Tata to show her gratitude for its support during her transformation.
As for Tata, who had no intention of competing... it was mostly just getting beaten up in training.
The night before they were set to enter the Lingxia Secret Realm, back on Blue Star.
Within the massive combat arena near the Desert District Research Center, four companions stood across from each other, their eyes burning with the will to win.
Lin Su, with Tata in his arms, stood off to the side next to Qin Nan, who had shown up uninvited to witness the spectacle.
The third internal team competition was officially starting!
