Kong Deming’s aged fingers gently caressed the imperial token engraved with Sun Moon patterns that represented Xu Qingya, a look of nostalgia and sorrow appearing on his wrinkled face.
After a moment, Kong Deming looked up at Fu Yu on the sofa and spoke in a gentle yet slightly raspy voice, “Can you tell me how Qingya passed away?” Fu Yu sat upright; it was only right for an elder to want to know the reason.
Fu Yu pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then began to recount everything from how he lived in the Zhang Family and how he learned of Xu Qingya’s identity, to the events before and after the attack on the Zhang Family.
When he first heard that Xu Qingya had been living quite well in the Heaven Dou Empire, a gratified smile appeared on Kong Deming’s face.
She had a man who loved her and a lovely daughter; if it had only stayed that way, it would have been quite good.
But when Fu Yu described the Evil Soul Master attack on the Zhang Family, Kong Deming’s expression instantly darkened, and the air in the Dean’s office froze.
The oppressive atmosphere lasted for about a minute before finally dissipating as Kong Deming took another breath.
“A very complete story,” Kong Deming finally spoke, his eyes narrowing, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
“So complete…
it’s as if you truly lived in the Zhang Family.” At this moment, not only was Kong Deming looking at Fu Yu with suspicion, but even Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, who were listening quietly on the side, were looking at him with similar gazes.
Only Meng Hongchen was better off, her head lowered as her fingers idly played with her wine-red hair.
A woman’s delicate sixth sense allowed her to feel that what Fu Yu said was true, though the details were still hard to comprehend.
Fu Yu felt somewhat helpless; even telling the truth wasn’t being believed.
However, he also knew that many issues would indeed be hard for people to believe if they weren’t explained clearly.
“I really did grow up in the Zhang Family.
Elder Kong, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me directly, and I can answer you.” Kong Deming gave a cold snort, staring at Fu Yu with a gloomy face as he asked, “The biggest point in all this is: since you were already dead at that time, then who are you now?” “That’s naturally because I was resurrected,” Fu Yu said, spreading his hands helplessly.
“Resurrected?!” Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen exclaimed in unison.
Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen did not speak, waiting to hear Fu Yu’s subsequent explanation.
Fu Yu said with certainty, “That’s right, resurrection.
Such things shouldn’t be uncommon in the history of the Spirit Master’s world.” “As far as I know, during the Spirit Hall era ten thousand years ago on the Douluo Continent, there was a person who returned from the dead and even became a Titled Douluo; that Excellency’s title was Ghost.” Speaking to this point, Fu Yu paused and then continued, “Also, the Spirit Awakening of many Evil Soul Masters is mostly related to death.
There are many similar cases; I shouldn’t be considered a precedent.” Kong Deming nodded in agreement and said, “Your knowledge of Spirits is indeed rich.
True, such events are not uncommon in the continent’s history; whether in the history of the Three Empires or our Sun Moon history, there are similar detailed records.” Kong Deming stared at Fu Yu with a sharp gaze again.
“But their Spirits are mostly related to the Soul or the body, yet I can feel that what’s inside you should be a Fire-attribute Spirit, right?” Fu Yu smiled.
“But who says a Fire-attribute Spirit can’t return from the dead?
Can’t a Fire Phoenix also be resurrected through Nirvana?” As Fu Yu spoke, a bright thousand-year first ring rose before everyone.
At the same time, his body began to change.
His azure eyes turned crimson, his white-and-red hair grew to his waist, golden gauntlets and gold-red patterns appeared on his body, and streams of flames swirled around him.
A gold-red divine bird also appeared behind Fu Yu, accompanied by a high-pitched cry, causing the temperature in the office to soar abruptly.
“Fire Phoenix?!” Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen cried out in surprise.
In Xiao Hongchen’s eyes was surprise and shock; he felt a strong Spirit suppression from this divine bird that resembled a Fire Phoenix, and the Three-legged Golden Toad Origin within him was actually trembling at this moment.
As for Meng Hongchen, her gaze was somewhat infatuated.
Fu Yu’s crimson eyes and white hair made it so she couldn’t look away after just one glance.
Her cherry lips parted slightly as she murmured, “So handsome, he looks so much like me!” Because of the unique nature of the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad, after Meng Hongchen’s Martial Soul Possession, her beautiful azure eyes would also turn into red pupils, and her wine-red hair would turn white with a faint icy blue glow.
“Ultimate Fire!!” As for Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, they wouldn’t be surprised by the external appearance of a Spirit; as Titled Douluos, they looked more at the internal essence.
The scorching flame streams on Fu Yu’s body, which were more than a level above ordinary Fire attributes, instantly made them think of that great defeat in the Sun Moon Empire’s history.
At that time, the leader of the three empires of the Douluo Continent, the Master of Shrek Academy’s Sea Gods Pavilion, possessed an Ultimate Fire Spirit.
After that war, the terrifying combat power of Ultimate Fire was ultimately emphasized and recorded by the surviving high-level officials of the Sun Moon Empire.
So, when Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen first sensed such terrifying flames, the first term that flashed through their minds was Ultimate Fire.
Furthermore, Kong Deming could even faintly sense that his second Spirit was actually feeling a bit of fear; this was the strong suppression from a high-ranking Fire attribute toward a lower-ranking one.
It was only because Kong Deming’s cultivation was so much higher than Fu Yu’s that this feeling was not very intense.
Listening to the different exclamations from the people around him, Fu Yu both nodded and shook his head.
“It is indeed Ultimate Fire, but it’s not a Fire Phoenix.
I call it Garuda.” As Fu Yu spoke, he raised his arm and quickly slashed it with the tip of the gauntlet on his other hand, and a bloody gash about ten centimeters long appeared before everyone.
But before Meng Hongchen nearby could cry out, countless flame streams surged past, and the bloody gash disappeared before everyone’s eyes just like that.
“It’s like this: after I died, my Spirit naturally awakened.
Its powerful self-healing power allowed me to be resurrected from the grave a few months ago.” Kong Deming looked at Fu Yu after his Martial Soul Possession, his mouth opening slightly as he said with a hint of apology, “Alright, I believe what you said.
The moment you showed Ultimate Fire, it became impossible for your words to be a lie.” “This lie would be too easy to verify; I could just send anyone to check the Zhang Residence and the graveyard to clear everything up.” At this point, Kong Deming sighed and said, “Moreover, no family would send out an Ultimate Fire user just to gain our trust.
You must know, an Extreme attribute represents a future Limit Douluo.” “That is an existence that can anchor a whole nation on their own; even I have only just touched the threshold of that combat power.” Looking at Fu Yu in his Martial Soul Possession state, Kong Deming waved his hand with a smile and said, “That’s enough, you can release your Spirit.” However, after Kong Deming finished speaking, his brow furrowed deeply again.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
