Chapter 73 - Phoenix Trails and Past. (1/2)

”A deal?” Confused, she asked.

Looking at those golden eyes, Wang Lei said, smiling, ”Yes, a deal!”

”What deal are you talking about, Wang Lei?” Phoenix called his name and asked.

Smiling, Wang Lei said, ”It is quite simple. You want to check my memories, right?” Phoenix eyes narrowed, ”Then how about this; I will let you check my memories; in return, I will check yours. But, of course, we can only check a specific part of the memories.”

Phoenix thought for a time. Wang Lei did not disturb her and let her think.

A moment later, Phoenix said, ”Very well. But we will do it after you pass the trials.”

Nodding, Wang Lei said, ”Why not. Just a trail, not enough to reach the apex.”

Phoenix did not say anything but transferred him to the ground of the trail. Of course, as it was just an illusion, something Wang Lei could easily bypass with his Dao Heart, but he still let it enter his Heart to see the illusions himself.

With a bright light, Wang Lei found himself standing in the purgatory of flames.

There was nothing but flames all around him – the temperature is above 1000 degrees.

”This is the first trail of Phoenix; Purgatory Flame Demon! You have to fight a Flame Demon here and defeat him to pass the trails. The demon's strength will be the same as yours.” Voice of Phoenix came from the void to inform Wang Lei of the trail.

Wang Lei smiled and started to walk deeper into the flame abyss. If only Phoenix Soul knew that elemental attacks were ineffective on Wang Lei.

He kept walking unhindered by the increasing temperature. As he reached a certain distance, magma started to gather and forms a giant flame demon – Half-Step Divine Realm.

Wang Lei did not even bother looking at it and said, <Die>. With the fall of his voice, the flame demon burst into tiny pieces and disintegrated.

Phoenix, who was monitoring the trail has her eyes wide opened, 'What happened?!'. She could not guess what happened. Wang Lei just said a word, and the flame demon died.

She could feel that the demon was dead for sure, but how? She could not tell.

Smiling, Wang Lei said, ”Next.”

His surroundings change again, now he stood in a vast open land. A cool breeze blew as grass flutters.

”Second Phoenix Trail; Arrows of the Phoenix. Survive the attacks of Phoenix flames to pass this trial.” Phoenix said and focused her all attention on Wang Lei to see what he will do this time.

Wang Lei looked above and saw a shower of arrows with phoenix flames. He just stood his place, without moving as if he could not see the arrows coming for him.

Phoenix was confused. 'Did he give up?'

Soon, the arrows reached Wang Lei, who stood like a statue. They started to hit him as more and more rained on him.

This kept going until it finally stopped.

Phoenix was astonished by what she saw as the cloud of dust settles. Wang Lei stood there, completely unharmed. The ground around his was raised to boiling magma, but Wang Lei stood unimpressed.

There was not even a single scratch on his body, as if the toughest steel.

'Is this because of his Dragon Bloodline?' This was the only logical answer that the Phoenix could come up with.

Smiling, Wang Lei said, ”Next.”
