"What? You want me to test his bloodline already? It hasn't even been a full minute since whatever you did to him! Do you think our bloodline can be improved so easily?" The phoenix with the Celestial Phoenix Needle remarked with a frown on his face.
“You'll know once you test his bloodline," Yuan replied with confidence.
"...Whatever. If you say so."
The phoenix proceeded to test Feng Haoyu's bloodline again.
A moment later, when the phoenix saw the results, he dropped the Celestial Phoenix Needle onto the ground, his face frozen with shock and disbelief.
"Well? What's the result?" the other phoenixes pressed, their voices brimming with curiosity and anticipation.
The phoenix swallowed nervously before responding in a dazed voice, "86.9 percent..." “What?! His bloodline purity has improved by half a percent in just a minute?! Impossible! Test his blood again!" The phoenixes urged.
Picking up the Celestial Phoenix Needle, the phoenix looked at Feng Haoyu, who was just as dazed by the result, and said, "Excuse me..."
He tested Feng Haoyu's bloodline again.
“Impossible!” The phoenix exclaimed a moment later.
"H-His bloodline is now at 87.3 percent!"
The entire chamber fell silent as the phoenixes struggled to comprehend what they were witnessing. In just a minute or so, Feng Haoyu's bloodline purity has improved by nearly an entire percent, something that normally requires hundreds of thousands of years. “What in heaven's name is going on?! How can consuming a human's blood strengthen his bloodline?!" The leader of the Radiant Phoenix Clan exclaimed.
Though they wanted to believe it was some kind of trick, they knew that was impossible, as the Celestial Phoenix Needle could not be deceived. Yet, a few of them soon reached a startling thought.
“Wait... a human's blood capable of strengthening a divine beast's bloodline? That sounds exactly like the Immortal Monarch's power...
None dared to voice such a notion aloud, for it bordered on madness. The Immortal Monarch had perished many eras ago, after all. And yet, the more they turned the thought over in their minds, the more plausible it began to feel.
“Well, are you satisfied? Or do you need more evidence?" Yuan suddenly said, breaking the brief moment of silence in the chamber.
“One... one more time. Let me test your bloodline again!" the phoenix with the Celestial Phoenix Needle demanded, his eyes fixed on Feng Haoyu.
Feng Haoyu quickly nodded in approval, as he, too, was eager to know if his bloodline had strengthened further.
The other phoenixes swallowed nervously.
A moment later, the results came back.
"8...89.3 percent! His bloodline has improved by yet another entire percent!”
"Heavens! Another percent?! Even if the improvements stopped at this point, his bloodline still improved by two percent in just a few minutes! This level of progress is unheard oft"
"How much more will his bloodline improve?" The leader of the Etheral Phoenix Clan asked Yuan.
He shrugged,”Honestly,! have no clue.If you really want to know, you'll have to wait a few days for the final results-weeks to be safe."
