Chapter 877: Chapter 877: Phoenix God College

Feng Yanran suddenly became enigmatic as if she wanted to test her cousin.

"The person you’re talking about, his name wouldn’t happen to be Ling Xiao, would it?"

Feng Yingshan arched an eyebrow and suddenly asked.

"Ah!"

Feng Yanran quickly covered her mouth, looking at her cousin in astonishment. She had worked hard to obtain the name of that young man; she never expected her cousin to be aware of it within the Divine Palace.

"You needn’t be so surprised."

Feng Yingshan said with a smile, "The Heavenly Dragon Continent is the closest to us here in the Divine Phoenix Continent, and its strength is also the most comparable. Over the years, the Phoenix God Empire has always intended to enter the Heavenly Dragon Continent to expand its territory. Although internal strife has prevented the execution of this plan, a lot of information has been gathered."

"Do you know anything else about this Ling Xiao, Hidden Mountain Brother?"

Feng Yanran asked eagerly.

"He is the Chosen Son of Heaven of the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Rumor has it that he has slain both the Plague Demon King and the Evil Beast Demon King of the True Demon Empire and that he truly killed them, not just sealed them away."

Feng Yingshan said slowly: "Moreover, at the final competition for the Sacred Dynasty’s Martial Arts festival, Ling Xiao repelled both the Yin-Yang Demon King and the Lightning Demon King with a single sword strike, preserving the bloodline of the Sacred Dynasty."

"That powerful! It must be an exaggeration, how could he do it with his strength?"

Feng Yanran found it utterly unbelievable.

"It’s no exaggeration. These events were witnessed by many, so they shouldn’t be false."

Feng Yingshan shook his head: "Actually, there’s something else that might surprise you even more."

"What could be more surprising?"

Feng Yanran looked puzzledly at her cousin.

"Do you know who Ling Xiao’s father is?"

"Who his father is has nothing to do with us, right?" Feng Yanran totally lost interest.

As if Feng Yingshan had anticipated her reaction, he said with a slight smile: "What if I told you he’s the son of Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue?"

"What!"

Feng Yanran jerked her head up, her surprise tinged with a bit of delight.

"Now you understand, right? Don’t provoke him anymore in the future and get along well with him—it won’t do you any harm."

Feng Yingshan smiled.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have never caused him trouble. Who would have thought, who would have thought... that Ling Xiao is the son of those two benefactors of our Phoenix Clan," Feng Yanran said with a bitter smile.

"It’s enough that you know this. Don’t tell anyone else. As for the members of the Fengming Army and Fengming Yu, I will send someone to warn them."

Feng Yingshan’s expression suddenly grew serious: "The atmosphere in the Phoenix God Empire is a bit strange at the moment. I always have the feeling that something is going to happen. Having this variable might actually be to our advantage."

Feng Yanran helplessly said: "But Ling Xiao disabled Fengming Yu’s martial arts; the Fengming Army is unlikely to let this rest."

"You need not worry about that. As long as no one died, this doesn’t count as a severe vendetta. Fengming Yu is used to being arrogant; consider it a lesson. It’s actually good for her."

"Understood, Hidden Mountain Brother!"

...

Ling Xiao naturally wouldn’t be aware of this conversation in the Fire Phoenix Hall.

Nor would he know that he was the son of the famous Yu Xuan Yue and Ji Fulin.

Even if he knew, it probably wouldn’t elicit much of a reaction from him.

In the past year, he had matured a great deal, no longer the child who would cry and complain at the slightest grievance.

A group of people entered the city and headed straight for the Phoenix God College.

The reason they chose Phoenix God College first, instead of Qingxu College, was that Wu Xiang had once studied at Phoenix God College.

And the Fengming Xiao that Wu Xiang asked him to find might still have some connections with this Phoenix God College.

The prestige of Phoenix God College was second only to that of the Imperial Palace, grand and imposing.

In front of the college, there was a spacious square where some people stood in groups, chatting about something, all with expressions that were a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Probably, like Ling Xiao and the others, they were here to apply for enrollment at Phoenix God College.

The gates of the Phoenix God College were huge bronze doors, each door measuring more than twenty meters when opened, looking very majestic.

At this time, the doors were wide open.

Beside it stood a large stone tablet with the words "Phoenix God College" carved in majestic, dragon-and-phoenix calligraphy.

These four words, overbearingly unmatched, were rumored to have been personally written by the first emperor of the Phoenix God Empire, radiating a strong sense of unrivaled dominance, each character exuding powerful authority.

"Senior Brother Ling, I’m a little worried."

Perhaps due to the powerful soul pressure emanating from that stone tablet, Zhao Ci, who possessed the weakest cultivation level, felt somewhat fearful.

"Don’t be afraid, the worst-case scenario is just not being accepted into Phoenix God College,"

Ling Xiao reassured her with a smile, then wrapped her body in soul power, shielding her from the imposing aura of the stone tablet, making Zhao Ci feel a bit more comfortable.

In the square, several martial artists clad in the Phoenix God College uniform sat in front of stone tables, conducting a simple assessment for each person seeking to study there.

Access to the gates of Phoenix God College wasn’t easy; otherwise, the college really wouldn’t have room for everyone.

The assessment results were of two kinds.

One was for those without a recommendation or introductory letter, and the requirements were very high.

The other was for those with a recommendation or introductory letter; the requirements would be much lower. This was called special admission, and no one could object.

Ling Xiao and the others did not have a recommendation letter, so naturally, the requirements for them would be higher. However, Ling Xiao believed that it would not be a problem for the few of them to enter Phoenix God College.

Of course, that was provided the test was fair.

Those who passed the test could register their names and other information, and then receive a student badge, which counted as successfully entering Phoenix God College.

Naturally, getting in was just the beginning, not the end of worries, because every year Phoenix God College and Qingxu College would conduct evaluations. Those who performed poorly could be ordered to withdraw, opening up spots for more outstanding martial artists.

"Ga!"

Suddenly, a cry resounded from the sky.

It was a fiery red phoenix bird.

This phoenix bird was rumored to be a close relative of the Phoenix, but unable to transform into human form, generally used as a mount.

However, the price was extremely high,

and without enough spirit stones, buying one was simply impossible.

The majestic phoenix bird landed on the square, and a young girl jumped down from it—it was Fengming Yu, whose cultivation Ling Xiao had previously crippled.

What surprised Ling Xiao, however, was that Fengming Yu’s cultivation had not only fully recovered but had also advanced further.

"Interesting, it seems there are no shortage of experts in Divine Phoenix Continent, capable of directly restoring Fengming Yu’s cultivation level,"

Ling Xiao muttered to himself.

"It’s not that they are remarkable, but you showed restraint. Had you destroyed that girl’s martial veins, not even Great Luo Immortals could have done anything about it,"

Ji Mingkong said coldly.

"Once enmity turns deadly, it can no longer be resolved."

The reason Ling Xiao had not acted too harshly was naturally motivated; he did not want to make deadly enemies so quickly.
