Chapter 1513: If General Su Can Touch It, Why Can't I?

"Phoenix, that flame of yours—is it the Flame of Extinction?"

"Yes!" Phoenix replied. "Didn't you already know?"

Su Yang stared at the status panel and asked: "Then what is the World-Ending Flame?"

Phoenix's beautiful eyes looked at Su Yang in confusion: "... How do you know about that?"

"In other words, the Flame of Extinction on you is the World-Ending Flame?"

"It's indeed the same thing, just a different name!" Phoenix laughed and answered directly. "I just thought the World-Ending Flame sounded too fierce, as if I sat around all day with nothing to do, thinking about destroying the world. Actually, my temperament is quite good."

"Right, how did you know? Could it be that you've met another of my kind?"

Saying this, the Extinction Phoenix shook its head again, denying its own thought:

"That shouldn't be possible. After I was driven out, I never heard of a second Extinction Phoenix…"

"Come sit over here!"

Su Yang beckoned to Phoenix.

"What is it?"

"Sit over here, I'll give you a little reward. You helped me subdue the Yinglong today, I want to reward you!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox, hearing the word reward, seemed to guess what was coming, and stuck out its tongue to lick Su Yang's right hand.

"What can you reward me with?"

Phoenix asked while shifting over to Su Yang's side.

It was curious about the "reward" Su Yang had mentioned, but didn't hold out much hope.

It didn't think Su Yang could produce anything that would make its heart stir.

Su Yang gently patted Phoenix's forehead with his left hand:

"Ding~ Your pet beast Extinction Phoenix has obtained the Mythic-grade talent—Wind-Chasing Lightning-Speed!"

Wind-Chasing Lightning-Speed (Mythic-grade): Greatly enhances the pet beast's wind-type acceleration skills and wind-type energy control ability.

Su Yang withdrew his hand, and Phoenix stood motionless like a sculpture.

The surrounding wind-type energy began gathering toward Phoenix, then was dispersed by Phoenix.

Phoenix was extraordinarily talented, and it quickly discovered that its affinity for wind-type energy had been greatly improved!

"My body's talent… how did you do it?"

"Talent!"

Su Yang answered in the briefest terms.

Phoenix went frantic: "In this world, there's still such a talent?"

It stared at Su Yang as if it wanted to eat him alive.

"I know this is hard to accept, but it's the truth."

Su Yang didn't want to explain further.

Phoenix suddenly understood: "No wonder, no wonder every pet beast by your side is all so… so freakishly strong!"

"Mm!"

"Su Yang, at the very most, how far can you raise a pet beast's talent?"

"At least I can cultivate one up to your level, I suppose!" Su Yang thought for a moment before replying.

There was even a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone!

He always felt that the Extinction Phoenix shouldn't be the strongest!

"My level… is that very poor?"

"It's alright!" Su Yang still took Gu Ji's feelings into account. "I feel you still have room to grow!"

Phoenix wanted to argue, to boast about how excellent its own talent was, to talk about how formidable the Extinction Phoenix clan was… but after thinking it over, it decided to shut up.

It understood clearly that Su Yang's kind of talent, if unrestricted, could be stacked infinitely on his pet beasts—and that would be the most awesome thing of all!

It leaned back on the sofa, feeling a bit deflated!

"Want to improve some more?"

"Can I still?"

"Why not? Do you think your talent is already so good there's no room for improvement?"

"No, of course not!"

Phoenix shook its head, watching Su Yang with an expectant gaze.

Su Yang patted its forehead again.

"Ding~ Your pet beast Extinction Phoenix has obtained Mythic-grade lightning-type resistance!"

"Ding~ Your pet beast Extinction Phoenix has obtained Mythic-grade earth-type resistance!"

The Extinction Phoenix's resistance to spirit-type, fire-type, and water-type had all reached Mythic-grade.

Its resistance to wind-type and dark-type had reached Supreme-grade.

It also had a certain resistance to many other attributes, such as light-type.

Only against poison-type and earth-type did it have no resistance talent.

Following the principle of maximizing the use of rewards, Su Yang raised its poison-type and earth-type resistance talents.

"How is it?"

"It seems like something has been enhanced a bit…"

This improvement wasn't as obvious as the last one, so Phoenix wasn't quite sure.

Su Yang explained: "Your resistance to earth-type and lightning-type skills has greatly improved now!"

"Lightning?"

The phoenix looked at Su Yang in surprise.

"You seem to care a lot about this lightning?"

"I have a deadly enemy who excels in lightning..."

"Very powerful?"

"Decent... it just takes advantage of my weak resistance to lightning!"

"What kind of divine beast!"

"A Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon!"

"Oh!"

Su Yang nodded, asked no further questions, and showed little interest.
