Ch. 161 - Enter the Invincible Path! Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire!

"I'll take responsibility!!"

A tall figure stepped forward, bearing a striking resemblance to Beiming Feng and his sister.

"Dad, you actually came!" Beiming Yan exclaimed in surprise.

This person was none other than Beiming Yuan!

He was also the principal of Beiming Martial Arts University. He rarely appeared at the school, instead guarding an Imperial-level secret place.

And an Imperial-level secret place was the highest-level secret place on Blue Star!

Beiming Yuan was at the King Rank peak and possessed an Imperial Rank spiritual artifact, making his strength comparable to an Imperial Rank early-stage expert. He was an extremely powerful figure on the entire Blue Star.

If Wu Liang hadn't comprehended the Invincible Will today, he probably wouldn't have bothered to appear.

Beiming Han frowned. "Brother, I know you value the Invincible Will highly and have confidence in Taotie, but Taotie is only at the Fifth Rank early-stage. It would be safer to wait until he advances a bit further and reaches the Sixth Rank before embarking on the Invincible Path. By then, he'll likely be able to take on even a Seventh-Rank peak opponent, and the Invincible Path will surely go smoothly!"

Beiming Yuan smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Wu Liang.

"The path of a martial artist has never been easy. The more one rises from adversity, the stronger one's will becomes. How much invincible spirit can one accumulate from a battle they know they will win?"

"That's true, but…"

Beiming Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him, a smile on his face.

"I'm not actually having Taotie activate the Invincible Path right now. The plan is for it to be activated after the end of this semester. There are still two months until then, and Taotie's understanding of the Invincible Will will have reached a new level. Ultimately, the decision on when to activate it is Taotie's!"

Beiming Han nodded. "That's more like it. Activating the Invincible Path after only two months of university? Those old guys would probably go crazy."

A student's magical beast comprehending the Invincible Will after only two months in university?

Is this crazy or what?

Nobody would believe it if they told them.

But the Invincible Path must be opened. Once completed, the accumulated invincible spirit would be immense, and its enhancement of the Invincible Will would be absolutely terrifying.

It could significantly accelerate the speed at which the Invincible Will advanced to the Invincible Domain.

Beiming Yuan stared at Wu Liang as if looking at a freak.

"Truly an interesting beast. Its physical age is only half a year, yet it's already a Fifth Rank magical beast. Its strength is comparable to a Seventh Rank, and it even comprehended the Invincible Will in a magical beast's body! This feat astonishes even me!"

The entire school placed their slim hopes for comprehending the Invincible Will on Ling Qingxue and Beiming Yan, but in the end, it was a twist of fate that led to Wu Liang's comprehension.

How strange!

But this was still a great thing!

Once the Invincible Will was achieved, it didn't matter if it was an Invincible Emperor or an Invincible Beast.

"By the way, brother, should we block the possibility of Taotie comprehending the Invincible Will? Otherwise, I bet a lot of people will come to challenge us," Beiming Han asked.

"Keep an eye on it. No unauthorized personnel are allowed into the school. Let other schools come and challenge us; whether or not to accept them is Taotie's decision. The specific opening time of the Invincible Path is also up to Taotie."

Wu Liang was the one walking the Invincible Path; when he was ready, it was naturally up to him.

Beiming Yuan was only confirming a rough timeframe for now.

"Qingxue, did your Taotie comprehend the Invincible Will through any special method?" Beiming Yuan asked curiously.

Ling Qingxue's lips twitched. "He said... just keep winning, and even defeating a King Rank opponent might stimulate the condensation of the invincible spirit."

Upon hearing this, Beiming Han's vision went black.

What about him?!

How presumptuous...

Beiming Lengyue chuckled, her gaze constantly sweeping over her second brother.

"It seems I was being too narrow-minded. I never realized how much thought you put into your guidance last time! Second Brother is the biggest contributor to Taotie's ability to cultivate an Invincible Will!"

Beiming Han covered his face. "Alright, stop teasing me. I know my own limitations. Taotie's ability to comprehend an Invincible Will is most likely due to its innate talent combined with human-like intelligence; its comprehension far surpasses that of other magical beasts."

Saying it far surpassed other magical beasts was an understatement. Wu Liang's comprehension of the Invincible Will was arguably even stronger than that of ordinary humans.

Even Ling Qingxue and Liu Fufeng hadn't been able to comprehend it.

Ling Qingxue had mentioned her interest in the Invincible Will before entering the secret place, yet it was Wu Liang who comprehended it.

It was almost like a slap in the face.

Beiming Yuan smiled wryly before taking out a jade bottle.

Wu Liang was all too familiar with the aura emanating from the jade bottle!

This was the blood of a beast possessing the bloodline of a divine beast. How could something brought out by Principal Beiming Yuan be anything less than exceptional?

It might even be far more precious than the blood of the Celestial Horned Ink Dragon!

"This is the blood of a magical beast with the bloodline of a superior divine beast, named Blazing Phoenix. It was obtained by the Beiming family in a battle in the Outer Realms. It is extremely precious. Consider this a reward for your ability to comprehend the Invincible Will!"

Wu Liang's eyes widened.

A superior divine beast bloodline!

The Blazing Phoenix!!

The Taotie was also a high-level divine beast and one of the top creatures among high-level divine beasts.

The Blazing Phoenix ranked lower than the Taotie and other members of the Four Fiends, but it was equally terrifyingly powerful.

After fusing with this divine beast bloodline, the increase in attribute values ​​was secondary, since he could increase those values ​​by eating ordinary magical beasts.

However, the innate ability of the Blazing Phoenix clan was the most awesome thing!

"Just swallow it here, let us see what innate ability of the Blazing Phoenix will be assimilated." Beiming Yuan smiled.

Ling Qingxue took the jade bottle and then threw it directly into Wu Liang's mouth.

[Ding! Consuming the pure Ninth Rank mid-stage Blazing Phoenix King's blood grants +20,000 Strength, +12,000 Defense, +18,000 Speed, and +15,000 Spirit. Gains the innate ability: Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire!]

[Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire: The most powerful innate ability of the Blazing Phoenix clan. Clad in an inextinguishable crimson lotus karmic fire, it contains boundless vitality, rapidly healing injuries. It is also the nemesis of all dark attributes, capable of burning the soul with karmic fire. When severely injured or near death, one can use the karmic fire to achieve 'Rebirth from the Ashes' skill and return to their peak condition!]

Wu Liang: Holy crap?! What the hell... 

It was such a waste not to buy a lottery ticket! A single dose of Blazing Phoenix blood actually allowed him to fuse with the Blazing Phoenix clan's strongest innate ability.

If he went to the Outer Realm Battlefields, the Blazing Phoenix clan would hunt him down to the ends of the earth!

How could an outsider possess the Blazing Phoenix's strongest innate ability?!

He was as good as dead!

Beiming Yuan stared intently at Wu Liang, his eyes filled with curiosity about the Taotie bloodline.

"What skill did it fuse with? Maybe it's the most powerful attack, Phoenix Roar! If it were that skill, it would be perfect."

"Brother, you're too lame! I think Phoenix Flame Meteor is the best. A wide-range attack with the added burning phoenix fire! On the battlefield, one hit would wipe out a whole bunch of enemies!"

At that moment, Ling Qingxue gasped when she heard Wu Liang's telepathic message.

What the hell?!

Was she really the protagonist?!

She was the one who had been reborn, so how come all the luck was on her contracted beast?

"The Taotie has fused with the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire."
