AST 2165 - Taming the Sun Phoenix

She remembered the fight between Firecloud Palace and Divine Palace . Now, she finally understood why they emerged victoriously . She looked at Qing Shui in shock, and not only so, but the ability of his Divine Weapon had even started taking effect on Beihuang Fan herself .

The ability of the Divine Weapon was affecting Qing Shui all the time . This was almost like a passive ability which consumed zero energy . However, Qing Shui would need to activate it himself if he intended for the effect to influence his allies . Thus, once Qing Shui activated it, Beihuang Fan revealed an even more excited face .

Putting the increased amount of strength aside, the true terrifying ability of his was the one which helped reduce up to 21% of the damage caused by the opponent . That was equivalent to lowering down the opponent’s offensive prowess by 21% .

“Many has attempted to tame me before, but most of them turned to ashes . I do not intend to harm anyone; thus, I think it will be best if you leave now . ” The Sun Phoenix once again spoke .

“The fact that we are here now means that we are already well-prepared for this . We come here to show our sincerity . Since ancient times, countless Sun Phoenixes have been tamed by humans before . ” Beihuang Fan responded .

“This is one of the trials which a demonic beast has to pass . Thus, it’s not unusual to be tamed . At the very least, the condition is that you will have to be stronger than me . Also, you must ensure that I can develop myself effectively when following you . ” The Sun Phoenix started a discussion with Beihuang Fan…

“Well, then, let’s fight!” Beihuang Fan said .

“Actually, you can gain a lot of benefits by following this woman . ” At this moment, Qing Shui interrupted and said .

“What benefits?”

“She will definitely turn out to be someone really powerful in the future . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

“No one can predict the future . ” The Sun Phoenix said straightforwardly .

“Actually, believe it or not, even with her alone, she will be able to beat you . ” Qing Shui once again emphasized on his statement .

“I will consider it if you really manage to beat me . However, even if she was to defeat me, you guys won’t be able to stop me if I intend to run away . Moreover, whether or not you guys are really able to do it also remains a question,” The Sun Phoenix started condensing the energy around its body .

“Do it!”

At the moment when the Sun Phoenix finished speaking, it created a long afterimage of itself as it made its way towards Beihuang Fan .

Meanwhile, Beihuang Fan created three slashes with her sword as she took a leap to the side .

Qing Shui couldn’t help but be impressed with what he just saw . As he thought, Beihuang Fan was indeed very powerful .

Qing Shui right away released the Emperor’s Qi .

The Sun Phoenix let out a high-pitched cry . It was as if it knew that its attacks weren’t sharp enough, but it didn’t know why this was the case . Now, it could sense that its overall strength had gone down by 20% . Deep down, it was really shocked and uncomfortable at the same time . Without a second thought, it immediately intensified the flame across its body .

Qing Shui was able to sense the aura across the Sun Phoenix’s body rising up once again . He was aware that it would have its own technique to raise its strength . Other than the boosts provided by Qing Shui, Beihuang Fan’s strength was also raising gradually .

Taiyi Flying Light!

Dazzling Gleam!

Divine Sword Array!

The sword afterimages looked like a meteor shower as they landed on the ground one after the other . Beihuang Fan’s figure was like a butterfly in clusters of flowers as she danced gracefully in the middle of the sword afterimages . She was like a moth in the sea of fire . Her entire person now looked like a fairy, a goddess . By now, she already had enough strength to suppress the Sun Phoenix .

Sun Phoenix Rising Sun!

A faint fiery light started spreading out towards the surroundings . Everything which came in contact with it became motionless . Qing Shui quickly moved his sight onto Beihuang Fan . Though she was still moving, her movements were very slow and seemed like they were almost halted . At this moment, he dared not let down his guard . He immediately unleashed his Area Dominance on her .

Initially, Beihuang Fan thought that she was done for . Her entire body was like sticking in the mud . And while she was feeling so, the Sun Phoenix unleashed its killer move that was like a sharp and long rocket . The Great Sun True Solar Sword Flare was being shot towards her .

Right at the moment when she planned to take it head-on, her body suddenly felt light as a feather . She quickly dodged away and thrust out her long sword .

Taiyi Splitting Water!

Naturally, Beihuang Fan was able to figure out that this was Qing Shui’s doings . Not only had he managed to help her remove the status effect which made her feel stiff, but he also managed to help her raise quite a significant amount of strength . Soon after, Qing Shui proceeded to unleash his Area Dominance around the Sun Phoenix .

Moving on, the strength of the Sun Phoenix got reduced even further . By now, merely trying to block against Beihuang Fan’s attack had also become a bit challenging to it .

“You lost, there is no point in continuing the fight any further . ” Beihuang Fan said .

Though the Sun Phoenix felt really uncomfortable, a loss was a loss . Though it was reluctant to follow a human, for a beast which had reached this kind of level, even if it did, it wouldn’t be treated as a normal demonic beast . The Sun Phoenix was a huge divine beast, and it was capable of transforming into human form . It could retain this form until when it was necessary for it to battle . Needless to say, it could only reveal its true potential by fighting in its original form .

But even so, the ceremony to recognize owner was something which mustn’t be neglected . This kind of ceremony didn’t cost anyone’s life . Even though it was a bit biased, demonic beasts would still find it acceptable .

“I promise that I will follow you . ” The Sun Phoenix sounded a bit upset when she was saying it .

However, the Demonic Beast Tribe were mostly straightforward and honest . To them, it was either yes, or no . Furthermore, once they began following someone, it was highly unlikely that they would betray their master .

Naturally, Beihuang Fan revealed a happy smile and said, “I will treat you like my best friend .

After the Sun Phoenix had successfully recognized its owner, Qing Shui took out the Ancient demonic Fruit, Potential Pill, Aptitude Pill, and so on . Though he only took out a few of them, he had basically given Beihuang Fan most of the things that were precious and rare . These were all for the Sun Phoenix .

By now, the Sun Phoenix was already showing itself in human form . It was an elegant woman who looked to be around her 30s . She looked tidy and noble and was wearing a dress with phoenix crest carved on it .

Seeing the Ancient Demonic Fruit and the medicinal pills which were rich with Spiritual Qi, even the Sun Phoenix was amazed . Particularly, the Ancient Demonic Fruit . There was no doubt that it was one of the deciding factors . If Qing Shui had taken it out earlier, it was very likely that the fight could have been avoided .

With everything finished, they went back .

Time waits for no men, Qing Shui once again went back to his usual life . However, Beihuang Fan would visit the Imperial Cuisine Hall quite frequently . This caused a lot of people to begin suspecting that the eldest mistress of the Beihuang Clan might have fallen for the Miraculous physician in the Imperial Cuisine Hall .

Thanks to this news, Qing Shui gained a huge boost in his popularity . He became even more popular than the time when he had the title of a Miraculous Physician . Seeing this, Qing Shui was speechless . If he had known that this would happen, he would have stained on this eldest mistress earlier .

It had already been a month since Tantai Lingyan left . Qing Shui missed her a lot, yet he didn’t know where she was . She should be at a place where Yiye Jiange once was . While thinking about all these, he shook his head and revealed a depressed expression .

For the time being, Qing Shui had to attend to one patient a day . Thanks to the rumors about himself and Beihuang Fan which were spreading around very quickly, his reputation got to be increased significantly . A lot of youngsters would come to challenge Qing Shui . The challenges could vary . Some would be on martial arts, whereas some were on medical expertise .

Thus, Qing Shui’s life at the moment could be considered to be quite busy .

In the beginning, everyone used to think that women like Beihuang Fan would refuse to marry to any men . Even a top-notch prince would still be inferior compared to her . The reason was that Beihuang Fan was way too out of everyone’s league, especially with her personality . But now, they realized that there had been some changes . She was starting to become more active . From then, they could already figure out that, deep down, she still desired to be loved by a man . Furthermore, the man, whom she chose, was a prodigy and was confident enough to not think himself lower than anyone else . Out of jealousy, they became desperate to prove to her that Qing Shui wasn’t as outstanding as she thought . It was with the mindset that if they couldn’t get their hands on her, no one should ever be allowed to do it .

This was a psychological thought that almost everyone would have . This was also every man’s dream . So long as she didn’t get married, she would forever remain a goddess in their hearts . In fact, a lot of men wouldn’t hope to see women like her getting married . To them, this woman was pure and holy . She mustn't be stained by the hands of any men .

It had only been a few days since the news spread out, and Qing Shui was already challenged to battles more than ten times . Basically, all of them were thrown out right away by Qing Shui as he was unwilling to drag things on .
