Ye Ling naturally had to consult the system when faced with such a problem.
“System, why doesn’t the Phoenix Bird have the ability of Nirvana Rebirth? Isn’t that a standard ability for a phoenix?”
Just the thought of a phoenix without Nirvana Rebirth made Ye Ling inexplicably uncomfortable. Could it still be considered a phoenix?
The system provided an explanation for Ye Ling’s somewhat vexing question.
“Ding! Answering the host’s question: the Phoenix Bird does indeed possess the talent for Nirvana Rebirth, but it hasn’t been activated due to its low level. When the Phoenix Bird reaches the Fifth Rank, the talent for Nirvana Rebirth will be activated.”
But this explanation was as good as no explanation at all.
Goodness!
There was such a limitation? The Phoenix Bird had to reach the Fifth Rank to have the talent for Nirvana Rebirth.
This… was frustrating!
Just thinking about it gave Ye Ling a headache.
“Ding! Detected that the host currently has an unassigned talent—Rebirth. If assigned to the Phoenix Bird, it can activate Nirvana Rebirth in advance.”
Just as Ye Ling was feeling extremely troubled, the system’s notification sounded again.
Ye Ling, who had been somewhat disappointed, didn’t expect such a turn of events.
He immediately took out the reward he had received for ranking first in the assessment—a card representing Rebirth.
However, before using the card, Ye Ling had a question.
“System, if the Phoenix Bird gains Nirvana Rebirth now, will it not appear again when it reaches the Fifth Rank?”
“Ding! Correct. A talent obtained in advance will not reappear later.”
Alright, this answer was within Ye Ling’s expectations.
It was unrealistic to expect the system to grant the Phoenix Bird another new talent. The system wouldn’t make such a loss-making deal.
After a brief contemplation, Ye Ling sighed.
“Sigh! Might as well use it. Keeping it won’t be of much use for now, and I can copy it later.”
Although he felt a bit of a loss, Ye Ling decided to use it first.
After all, it was a very good life-saving measure.
At least he wouldn’t have to worry about the Phoenix Bird being killed before reaching the Fifth Rank.
Plus, he could copy it in advance, which was a very powerful talent.
“System, assign Rebirth to the Phoenix Bird.”
With that, Ye Ling raised the card in his hand towards the Phoenix Bird.
“Ding! Talent assignment starting, please wait…”
The Rebirth card in Ye Ling’s hand transformed into a white light and instantly merged into the Phoenix Bird’s body.
Faced with the sudden white light, the Phoenix Bird didn’t panic at all, as it came from its master.
“Ding! Talent assignment successful. Rebirth has been successfully assigned to the Phoenix Bird and transformed into Nirvana Rebirth under the influence of Phoenix Fire.”
With the system’s notification, Ye Ling knew the talent assignment was complete.
Nirvana Rebirth: The talent holder can be reborn without any cost after death, reviving in full state (cooldown time three days).
Afterward, Ye Ling named the Phoenix Bird and assigned all its talent skills.
Ye Ling named the Phoenix Bird Feng Jiu.
Yes, Feng Jiu. The name was inspired by a TV series from Ye Ling’s previous life.
However, that Feng Jiu was a fox, while his Feng Jiu was a real phoenix.
When assigning points, Ye Ling had exactly three free points, and Feng Jiu had one talent and two skills that could be enhanced.
After using them, Ye Ling’s free points were reduced to zero, and Feng Jiu gained one talent and two skills.
Feng Jiu, the king of all birds, had excellent talents and skills, both offensive and defensive.
With the added advantage of Nirvana Rebirth, she was incredibly powerful.
Moreover, she had a high-level fire attribute immunity. With such a talent, she might even be able to fight against Second Rank fire attribute demons.
Mainly, the attacks of Second Rank fire attribute demons would hardly harm Feng Jiu.
The other two skills were Hellfire and Divine Fire Protection.
Hellfire: Releases extremely high-temperature Hellfire to burn enemies. Demons more than three levels weaker than Feng Jiu will be instantly incinerated.
Divine Fire Protection: Uses Phoenix Fire to envelop and protect the selected target or herself, blocking a large amount of physical and magical damage.
One offensive skill and one defensive skill, both extremely powerful.
“Jiu.”
Looking at the Phoenix Bird in front of him, Ye Ling reached out his hand and called softly.
His action had no particular meaning; he just wanted to touch Feng Jiu’s feathers.
Feng Jiu, burning with Phoenix Fire, glanced at Ye Ling.
“What do you want?”
A clear, ethereal voice sounded, making Ye Ling’s raised hand freeze instantly.
Because this voice was not Blood Phantom’s; it was a completely different voice.
“Jiu? Is that you talking?”
Feeling a bit shocked, Ye Ling widened his eyes and looked at Feng Jiu.
“Of course it’s me. Who else would it be?”
Feng Jiu proudly raised her neck, seemingly indifferent to the fact that she could speak.
Typically, a First Rank spiritual pet couldn’t speak, but Feng Jiu could.
This… could it be innate talent? As expected of the legendary phoenix!
Ye Ling laughed heartily, retracting his hand while praising.
“Hahaha! Nothing, nothing! It’s good that it’s you. As expected of Jiu, truly gifted!”
