“Jiu, this is a Second Rank Secret Realm, specially prepared for you to level up. You need to put in some effort and reach the Second Rank as soon as possible.”
As Ye Ling spoke, he reached out to pat Feng Jiu, but she dodged without hesitation.
Ye Ling felt a bit awkward, his hand still extended in mid-air.
Retracting his hand, he rubbed his nose and muttered softly, “She’s clearly my Spiritual Pet, but she won’t even let me touch her. This is too much.”
Of course, Ye Ling only muttered this quietly. If Feng Jiu heard it, his ears would suffer again.
With her wings akimbo in a very human-like manner, Feng Jiu confidently said, “Hmph! Just a leveling ground, no big deal. My leveling speed will leave you in the dust.”
This wasn’t just blind confidence. As an Epic Growth Power Spiritual Pet, she had every reason to be self-assured.
An Epic-level Spiritual Pet possessed abilities far beyond those of ordinary pets.
Feng Jiu then spread her wings and flew into the air, her body enveloped in orange Phoenix Fire.
Layer upon layer of Phoenix Fire gradually expanded, slowly forming into a sphere that grew larger and larger.
In the end, Feng Jiu transformed into a sphere nearly three meters in diameter.
“What…?”
Ye Ling, seeing this scene for the first time, was puzzled by Feng Jiu’s unique ability.
A clear and loud cry echoed through the sky, and the giant fireball floating in mid-air began to unfold.
The fireball opened to reveal a pair of enormous flaming wings, with a long, colorful phoenix tail trailing behind.
When the fireball fully unfolded, Ye Ling was momentarily stunned.
A phoenix with a wingspan of nearly six meters appeared before him.
He had never imagined that Feng Jiu’s true form would be this large.
He had thought that the size she showed during their Contract in the airship was her maximum size.
But now, it was completely unexpected. This was Feng Jiu’s true form.
Her entire body was ablaze with Phoenix Fire, and her majestic appearance was undeniably captivating.
“Awooo~! Awooo~!”
Suddenly, the sound of wolf howls echoed, seemingly in response to the earlier cry.
Hearing the howls, Ye Ling snapped back to reality, remembering that they were in a Secret Realm.
He should be more cautious and avoid attracting more demons’ attention.
Goodness!
Feng Jiu’s grand entrance had naturally drawn the attention of many demons.
Especially the wolf howls, which were getting closer. Following the sound, Ye Ling saw a long trail of dust approaching.
Upon closer inspection, he could see a pack of ferocious wolves leading the dust trail.
Their fur was mostly gray, with streaks of fiery red mixed in.
The leading wolf was enormous, clearly the leader of the pack.
“A Second Rank Wild Wolf leader, along with a bunch of First Rank Wild Wolves. Damn it! Jiu, you transform and make such a scene, why did you have to make such a noise!”
Seeing the large pack of Wild Wolves, Ye Ling felt a headache coming on.
His exploration hadn’t even begun, and trouble had already found him. Truly, his luck was terrible.
“Hmph! A bunch of ants. I can easily wipe them out.”
Feng Jiu, flying above Ye Ling, spoke disdainfully.
Even though the opponent was a Second Rank Wild Wolf leader, Feng Jiu showed no fear.
Hearing Feng Jiu’s bold words, Ye Ling couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated.
A First Rank Ninth Level Spiritual Pet not taking a Second Rank Wild Wolf seriously—wasn’t that a bit too insulting to the wolves?
At this moment, the system suddenly chimed in.
“Ding! Mission issued: Phoenix’s First Battle. The Wild Wolf pack, provoked by Feng Jiu, intends to attack the Host. Let Feng Jiu complete her first battle alone. Completing the mission will reward you with a Double Experience Boost Card x1.”
Hearing the mission reward, Ye Ling’s mouth twitched.
So strong! A Double Experience Boost Card—was this turning into a game?!
However, this was a good item. Double experience boost would definitely shorten the time needed to gain experience.
But the requirement was a bit harsh—Feng Jiu had to eliminate all the Wild Wolves alone, including the Second Rank Wild Wolf leader.
This might be a bit challenging, but Feng Jiu’s confident demeanor didn’t seem like a joke.
With a plan in mind, Ye Ling called out to Feng Jiu flying in the sky.
“Feng Jiu, I’ll leave this battle to you. Show these wolf pups the power of a phoenix. Blood Phantom and I won’t interfere.”
With that, Ye Ling pulled Blood Phantom back a few steps, leaving the battlefield to Feng Jiu.
