Phoenix Changes, How Does It Compare to a Dragon? The Second Martial Soul Form!

Ye Qingxian observed very carefully.

She took in all of Lin Xiao's changes and made her deductions.

"Just now, you seemed perfectly fine, but after your Martial Soul Avatar activated automatically, your appearance changed drastically. I imagine you'll return to normal once you deactivate it."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao belatedly realized that his Martial Soul had already taken the initiative to activate.

After deactivating his Martial Soul Avatar, Lin Xiao's appearance quickly returned to normal. However, when he tried to activate it again, he found himself facing two choices.

What's going on? Martial Soul Avatar has multiple options? "Evil Fire Phoenix, Avatar!"

Lin Xiao called out softly, and the fiery red phoenix rushed into his body. An eerie crimson flame flickered, no different from his previous normal Martial Soul Avatar.

Lin Xiao deactivated the Martial Soul Avatar.

"Destruction Phoenix, Avatar!"

This time, the phoenix Martial Soul that appeared was no longer the crimson Evil Fire Phoenix, but a magnificent phoenix, half crimson and half pitch-black. An aura of darkness and destruction quietly emanated from it, a deadly danger hidden within its beauty.

Ye Qingxian watched Lin Xiao's two Martial Soul Avatars with her own eyes, the effects completely different. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were looking at a rare treasure, and she was slightly surprised.

I'm really learning something new today! Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan stared at Lin Xiao in stunned silence, exclaiming in horror:

"You can switch forms?!"

According to the common knowledge of the Soul Master world, once a Martial Soul mutated, it could never return to its original appearance, and the fixed form of a Martial Soul was always unique.

Lin Xiao...

Had overturned the entire common sense of the Soul Master world! Lin Xiao was also very surprised.

He looked at Ye Qingxian with seeking eyes, but saw her gently shake her head.

"Don't look at me, I'm not omnipotent."

"This is really a bit bizarre. Outsiders can't imagine the internal changes. Only you can draw conclusions after carefully feeling and thinking about it."

"However, since it's the second form your Martial Soul possesses after evolving, then perhaps it's a necessary step in Phoenix Nirvana."

The first time the Evil Fire erupted, Lin Xiao suppressed it with the Ice Heart Incantation, making the Evil Fire even more domineering and fierce, filled with sinister evil;

The second time the Evil Fire erupted, Lin Xiao used Evil Fire Body Tempering to cleanse his marrow and transform his body, even further enhancing his already extraordinary aptitude; the third time the Evil Fire erupted, it directly allowed Lin Xiao to possess a second Martial Soul form? No one knew the reason for this.

Because he possessed the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul and could be reborn in Nirvana time and time again, only Lin Xiao, who occupied the right timing, location, and support of the people, could do it.

Ye Qingxian was right, no one could give Lin Xiao the answer, only he himself could seek it.

"Changes... different forms..."

Lin Xiao muttered to himself.

A look of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

"Perhaps you can find the answer from the characteristics of the phoenix."

Although Ye Qingxian didn't understand, she could point directly to the essence of the problem.

"The characteristics of the phoenix?"

Lin Xiao pondered hard.

A flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. Although he didn't think of anything related to the changes of the phoenix, he thought of another sacred beast corresponding to the phoenix.

——Dragon.

"The dragon can be large or small, can ascend or hide; when large, it stirs clouds and spits mist, when small, it conceals its form; when ascending, it soars between the universe, when hiding, it lurks within the waves!"

Any sacred beast would not be limited to a single environment. It could adapt to the changes of heaven and earth, determine its own whereabouts, and present different appearances.

Only the dragon, or a sacred beast equivalent to the dragon, could be free from fixed forms, unpredictable, and possess the ability to reach the heavens and penetrate the earth! This was the Chinese understanding of sacred beasts.

Lin Xiao didn't know whether the Chinese understanding of sacred beasts like dragons and phoenixes could be applied to the Phoenix Nirvana on Douluo Continent, but it didn't prevent it from being used as a reference.

Assuming this guess was correct!

Then Lin Xiao could almost conclude that the Darkness and Destruction Phoenix was only the first change. In subsequent evolutions, his Phoenix Martial Soul would evolve into other forms that could be switched at will.

Just like a dragon, it can be large or small, can ascend or hide.

How does the phoenix's transformation compare to the dragon's? Lin Xiao was very curious! Lin Xiao shared his insights with Ye Qingxian.

Ye Qingxian's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in praise:

"What a great idea! But the dragon you're talking about should be a True Dragon, not a pseudo-dragon like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, right? Is the inevitable path of evolution for sacred beasts to be diverse and unpredictable?"

"And it seems that your Darkness and Destruction Phoenix hasn't fully evolved yet?"

Lin Xiao nodded.

"It's only half-evolved."

"But my Destruction Phoenix is a result of autonomous evolution, not a corrupted mutation. Even though it's only half-evolved, its power has increased remarkably."

Having said that.

Lin Xiao pointed to the open space in the distance.

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Feather Array!"

Black and red flames swirled around his fingertip, and a magnificent black and red phoenix soared into the sky. With a gentle flutter of its wings, crimson feathers mixed with black shot towards the ground like a rain of arrows. The flames possessed an extremely strong corrosive ability, far exceeding the Evil Fire Phoenix in its normal form! The black and red fire seeds on the ground and in the sky linked together, and dark reddish chains sealed off the entire space, like a cage constructed from the fires of hell! The Evil Fire Chains seemed to have a life of their own, flowing like water, a terrifying sight to behold! Eerie and ghastly!

Dugu Yan's face paled slightly as she recalled her fight with Lin Xiao three months ago. Back then, when she saw the eerie crimson Evil Fire Chains, she still had the courage to try and break through.

However, facing the black and red fire chains that exuded a strong aura of destruction and corrosion, Dugu Yan had no intention of touching them at all! People would definitely die, right? At the very least, she would be disfigured! Lin Xiao snapped his fingers, and the terrifying black and red flames instantly vanished, leaving only the scarred ground in the yard, proving that they had once existed! "How is it? Do you think it's much more powerful... Ouch!"

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, he suffered a "severe blow" to his forehead, and he looked at Ye Qingxian with a grievance, clutching his forehead, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Aunt Ye, why did you hit me for no reason?"

"And with such force!"

Even though Ye Qingxian was an auxiliary Soul Master, her cultivation as a Soul Emperor was genuine. Her raised hand struck Lin Xiao's forehead with full force.

The sensation was quite invigorating.

Ye Qingxian rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Why, you ask? I've been busy here for you, taking care of your every need, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you burned my house down? What do you mean by that?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

He raised his eyes and looked at the scarred yard.

His handsome face instantly turned red.

He guiltily shifted his gaze elsewhere.

"Hehehe..."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling laughed gloatingly.

But the next moment, they couldn't laugh anymore! "The three of you, fix up the yard for me. No food until it's done!"

"Ah?"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were stunned, their faces blank.

Joy turned to sorrow.
