Chapter 79: Spirit Soul Evolution, Blazing Sun Dark Bird

Yu Feng was startled by the sudden action, her mouth still full of food, and she looked at Gu Feng with a puzzled expression. "Huh?"

She raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then looked at Gu Feng with curiosity.

Gu Feng didn't say much, but simply raised his hand gently. A flash of light later, a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower emitting a strange radiance appeared in his palm.

Its vibrant color was like burning flames, and mysterious patterns seemed to flow faintly on its leaves.

"This is an Immortal Herb. It can enhance one's talent, strengthen the foundation, and even allow for Spirit Soul Evolution," Gu Feng said, his gaze sharp as he looked at Yu Feng. "I can give it to you, but you must take a Spirit Oath to unconditionally help me in the future. What do you think?"

Yu Feng could barely believe the part about strengthening the foundation, but Spirit Soul Evolution? That sounded too fantastical! Could it really be true?

In the Soul Master World, she had never heard of any miraculous item that could cause Spirit Soul Evolution. Yet, this Immortal Herb was called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and its name, with its connection to the phoenix, made her heart flutter with imagination.

Could there really be such a magical treasure in this world, one that could shatter the established beliefs of the Soul Master World?

For a moment, Yu Feng's heart was in turmoil, filled with mixed emotions, and she couldn't make up her mind.

Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to her family.

Ever since she declared her intention to become an offensive Soul Master, the attitudes of her grandfather and other family members had been like sharp knives, stabbing at her heart.

They were all skeptical of her, relentlessly pushing her to follow the family's predetermined path.

She felt like a caged bird—seemingly glamorous on the outside, but in reality, bound by the family's traditions and rules. In the future, she might even be ruthlessly pushed into a marriage alliance for the sake of the family's so-called interests, marrying someone she didn't even know.

And indeed, that was exactly what would have happened.

If she hadn't met Gu Feng, her future would have been decided by Bai He, who, in order to improve the family's Martial Soul, would have unhesitatingly betrothed her to Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Phoenix of Shrek Academy.

In all of Shrek, if there was anyone with the most despicable character, it was undoubtedly Ma Hongjun.

Arrogant and unruly in his youth, he frequented brothels and was known for his violent tendencies.

Recalling her family's rules, Yu Feng clenched her teeth, her heart hardening.

Enough! Life is already a gamble!

Today, I'll take this bet!

"Alright, Gu Feng, I agree!" Yu Feng took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly but filled with a resolute determination.

With that, Yu Feng reached out and firmly took the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from Gu Feng's hand.

Her expression solemn, she slowly spoke, "I take a Spirit Oath: if Gu Feng ever needs my help, no matter where he is, no matter the reason, as long as he asks, I will unconditionally help him!"

As soon as the oath was spoken, it felt as though an invisible contract had been formed in the air.

Although she hadn't joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, from this moment on, with the oath made, she had fully joined Gu Feng's faction.

And this was exactly what Gu Feng wanted to see.

His goal was to cultivate a group of individuals who would be capable of becoming gods in the future.

Yu Feng returned to her dormitory, her heart filled with both anxiety and anticipation. As soon as she entered her room, she quickly turned around and locked the door tightly.

Her heart pounded like a drum as she tightly clutched the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in her hand.

Recalling Gu Feng's instructions, Yu Feng knew that removing her clothes would allow for a more thorough cleansing and refinement of her body when consuming this Immortal Herb.

A faint blush instantly spread across Yu Feng's cheeks. After a moment of hesitation, she slowly reached out and began to remove her garments, one by one.

As her clothes slipped away, her snow-white, jade-like skin gradually became exposed to the air, each inch of her body seemingly emitting a soft, gentle glow.

She took a deep breath to calm herself, then sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusting her breathing.

In her hands, she held the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, its delicate petals trembling slightly at her fingertips.

Without hesitation, Yu Feng placed the entire Immortal Herb into her mouth and swallowed it slowly.

In an instant, a surge of scorching warmth rose from her stomach and quickly spread throughout her entire body.

Yu Feng felt as though her body was enveloped in a gentle flame, every cell within her rejoicing as if reveling in this baptism of life.

The next moment, an intense burning pain swept through her body, and Yu Feng gritted her teeth, enduring it.

As time passed, the pain gradually subsided, transforming into a comforting warmth.

Yu Feng let out a soft, contented moan, "Mmm~"

She could clearly feel her bones creaking and cracking, as if they were being reshaped and reborn.

Her muscles became firmer and more elastic, her limbs stretching out, her body lines growing more slender and perfect, as if meticulously sculpted by an invisible hand.

Then, the warm current surged even more violently, rushing directly toward the core of her Martial Soul.

Suddenly, a dazzling light erupted from within her, and the faint silhouette of a massive Dark Bird slowly emerged.

If Gu Feng had been here, he would have been astonished to see this.

Wasn't this Martial Soul the Dark Bird?

The Celestial Dark Bird, descending to bring prosperity.

Legend had it that the descendants of the Dark Bird were swallows.

And Yu Feng's Dark Bird resembled a swallow, its body surrounded by raging flames that glowed with an unusual crimson-gold hue, as if condensed from the radiance of the sun.

Its feathers shimmered with a metallic luster, each one as sharp as a blade, exuding a mesmerizing beauty under the glow of the flames.

The Dark Bird's eyes burned like twin flames, radiating endless majesty and mystery, while its beak and talons gleamed coldly, as if capable of tearing through any obstacle in its path.

This was Yu Feng's evolved Martial Soul—the Blazing Sun Dark Bird.

When Yu Feng slowly opened her eyes, she finally understood why Gu Feng had advised her to remove her clothes when absorbing this Immortal Herb.

Her entire body was now drenched in sweat, the sticky sensation making her extremely uncomfortable.

After a moment of thought, she suddenly realized the reason.

Her original Martial Soul had not possessed any fire attributes, so this newfound, powerful force was undoubtedly the miraculous gift bestowed by the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

However, this newly born flame power seemed far beyond her expectations, stronger than she could have imagined.

With a mix of curiosity and apprehension, Yu Feng slowly raised her right hand, and at her fingertips, a deep, scorching flame quietly ignited.

The flame flickered and danced, radiating an oppressive heat, as if eager to showcase its power.

Yu Feng hesitated for a moment, a surge of curiosity rising within her. Finally, the flame at her fingertips slowly extended toward a piece of clothing nearby.

However, what happened next far exceeded her expectations.

The moment the flame touched the clothing, a surge of intense heat erupted. The clothes ignited like a powder keg, instantly engulfed in roaring flames, and even the spare clothes stored nearby were set ablaze.

The fire spread with astonishing speed, leaving her no time to react.

In the blink of an eye, all the clothes turned to ashes, dissipating into the air.

"Ahhh! My men's clothes!"

Yu Feng screamed in horror, her voice filled with disbelief.

How could the fire be so powerful?

She watched helplessly as her undergarments were destroyed, with no chance to salvage them.

Fortunately, the corner of the table was made of expensive stone, or else the entire room would have been set ablaze.

Yu Feng stood frozen in place, staring at the mess before her, her heart filled with distress.

Her gaze shifted between the charred remains of the clothes and the only surviving women's clothing in her luggage, her mind tangled in conflict.

After a long moment of contemplation, she let out a deep sigh and reluctantly made a decision—to change back into her old women's clothes.

...

Meanwhile, in the Ye residence on the other side.

"Kabu, do you think I should consume the medicinal herb flower Gu Feng gave me?"

"Although he told me to use it, this is the first flower he ever gave me. I really can't bear to part with it..."
