Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

198 Swaying Like A Fire Dragon

“Otherwise, it won’t be so easy to get away next time.” With that, Xia’er turned around and left.

Shen Fei did not stop him. He just quietly stared at Xia’er with a cold glint in his eyes.

“Humph. What? Are you planning to fight again?” Seeing this, Xia’er stopped and turned around to sneer at Shen Fei.

“I’ll remember you for this. I hope you’ll be able to keep your cool next time”, said Shen Fei indifferently.

“We shall meet again,” Xia’er said arrogantly. Then, he left with his head held high.

After Xia’er and the rest left, Shen Fei summoned his Flame Owl, and it appeared on Shen Fei’s shoulder immediately.

The Flame Owl’s black eyes blinked rapidly, as though it were a little excited. It looked at him with an expression of delight.

“Flame Owl, you haven’t been cultivating properly nowadays. Let’s start training.” Shen Fei patted the Flame Owl’s head as though it was a child.

The Flame Owl nodded and then flew away at a fast speed, and it seemed to have surpassed the speed of ordinary bird-type spirit beasts!

Whoosh!

The Flame Owl flew into the air and looked down. It opened its mouth and absorbed the fire-attribute essence from its surroundings. The amount of essence it devoured in each mouthful was comparable to a mystic pill. In fact, it probably exceeded even that.

The Flame Owl’s body was enshrouded in a scarlet mist, like the firebird it was. Its feathers were burning away with ferocious flames created by the essence, tempering itself. This kind of transformation could be called a miracle. Unfortunately, no one in the outside world would know.

“My Flame Owl is a genius!” Seeing this, Shen Fei’s face was filled with joy. In his opinion, with the Flame Owl’s potential, it would only be a matter of time before it grew to the primordial heaven realm.

“How is it?” Shen Fei laughed.

“Swish!” The Flame Owl landed in Shen Fei’s arms with a plop. Its dark and clear eyes were filled with deep admiration. This surprised Shen Fei.

“This little thing is actually acting cute with me.” Shen Fei was astonished. Shen Fei pondered in his heart, ‘It seems that it’s somewhat dependent on me.’ At the thought of this, his mood soared.

“Coo…” The Flame Owl continued to rub against Shen Fei’s chest. It flapped its wings and let out a joyful cry.

“Haha, it seems like you want to be with me.”

Shen Fei grinned and rubbed the Flame Owl’s head. This excited it even more.

Shen Fei stroked the Flame Owl’s head a bit more before his eyes focused slightly, and he said, “Heh, it seems that I have to teach you a good lesson during this time, so that you don’t walk all over me.”

After a short moment, Shen Fei took out a red pill from the storage ring that Mayor Edward gave him. This was a beast taming pill, which could increase the Flame Owl’s level by one. After eating the beast taming pill, the Flame Owl flapped its wings and let out a low hiss. Its eyes were burning, as if it could not wait.

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl flapped its wings and flew into the distance. It wanted to find a place to refine the beast taming pill’s effects and increase its foundation.

Shen Fei laughed. “You can go and cultivate now.” He did not say anything more and just sat down cross-legged.

“Time for me to cultivate!”

Shen Fei began cultivating by continuously reciting the Soul-devouring Mantra. The fire markings on him flickered and were absorbed into his body. Then, the aura around his body gradually rose. His skeleton made cracking sounds as if it was evolving.

Night fell, the stars rose high in the sky, and the moon quietly appeared.

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in Shen Fei’s ears.

[An upgradable Flame Owl has been detected, do you wish to upgrade?]

Hearing this voice, Shen Fei’s eyes were filled with ecstasy as he immediately asked, “Upgrade?”

The mechanical voice came again. [Yes, according to the host’s aptitude and cultivation technique, the system has decided to upgrade the host’s spirit beast. Would the host like to upgrade it?]

“Upgrade!” Shen Fei said without hesitation.

[Affirmative.]

When Shen Fei finished speaking, the Flame Owl that was originally floating behind him emitted a dazzling light. Then, it turned into a ball of blazing flames, enveloping Shen Fei and wrapping him up.

This light was dazzling and exuded a monstrous aura, like a furnace. In the next second, the feathers of the Flame Owl turned golden. Its tail feathers swayed like a Fire Dragon. Its claws became as sharp as blades, and its sharp beak was like the tip of a sword. The aura was simply astonishing.

The Flame Owl had completely transformed.

The Flame Owl’s wingspan was five meters long when it spread them out wide. Its golden feathers were like silk, and it glowed with a hazy golden light. It looked very beautiful.

The eyes of the Flame Owl flickered. Its deep blue eyes blinked and shot out two rays of fire.

Shen Fei smiled, and said, “It seems that you’ve really leveled up well.”

The Flame Owl blinked. Its eyes were like torches as it carefully observed Shen Fei, revealing a look of respect. Even though it had advanced its level, it could still feel Shen Fei’s powerful aura.

“Swish!” Suddenly, it flapped its wings and flew toward Shen Fei. After which, it flapped its wings and sliced through the protective barrier around Shen Fei like a knife cutting through tofu.

Then, the Flame Owl spat out a clear bead of blood from the corner of its mouth, and it landed on Shen Fei’s forehead. Shen Fei reached out his hand, but that drop of blood essence fell into his sea of consciousness.

This drop of blood contained a vast amount of pure soul essence, and a vast amount of information suddenly surged into his mind.

‘Profound Truth of Fire…’

Shen Fei’s eyes were filled with elation. He finally understood what kind of existence the profound truth of fire was.

The Profound Truth of Fire, as its name suggested, was a type of control over the power of the Dao of fire, or rather, it represented a type of Dao.

“So… this Profound Truth of Fire can generate flames, releasing scorching power to attack the enemy!” After understanding the power of the Profound Truth of Fire, Shen Fei was taken aback. “No wonder the Flame Owl can spew out flames so easily. It’s the effect of combining the power of heat, thus creating the power of fire.”

Then, he opened his eyes. A fiery rune had appeared between his brows, like a fire mark. The word ‘fire’ was engraved there. It was also at this moment that the drop of blood in his sea of consciousness, known as the divine spark, and suddenly trembled.

Then, a terrifying fluctuation swept out, causing Shen Fei’s soul to tremble as he hurriedly raised his head.

A fiery ball rose into the sky. When he saw this, Shen Fei’s heart was filled with joy.

“Profound Truth of Fire, condense!”

Then, a huge ‘fire’ character appeared above Shen Fei’s sea of consciousness. It was formed by the profound truth of the ‘fire’ word. Other than that, Shen Fei’s embryonic soul was also burning. One by one, the flames surrounded his embryonic soul. This was the embryonic form of the Profound Truth of Fire.

“The Profound Truth of Fire is indeed powerful. However, it takes a long time to cultivate it. However, once it reaches a certain level, its power will be extremely powerful.”

After he finished observing, Shen Fei pondered…
