Chapter 797: There really is no such thing as a free lunch in the world

After staying on Chen Huan's side for two days, Su Yang returned to the Azure Phoenix Kingdom.

Just after returning to the Azure Phoenix Kingdom, Su Yang heard some good news.

The system notified him that the Hell Blood Vine Flower had upgraded to God-rank low-tier.

Thus, Su Yang now possessed four God-rank low-tier pet beasts: the Earth Violent Bear, the Hell Blood Vine Flower, the Nirvana Phoenix, and the Ying Dragon.

His strength was far superior to ordinary God-rank Beast Tamers in the Beast Tamer Great World!

After picking up the Hell Blood Vine Flower, just as Su Yang was planning to go find Qin Xiaoxiao for some intimacy, he heard another system notification that shocked him.

"Ding~ Your pet beast Nirvana Phoenix has degraded from God-rank low-tier to Emperor-grade peak-tier!"

Degraded?

Can a divine beast even degrade?

What does this mean?

For no reason, why did it degrade?

Wasn't it staying well in the beast-taming space?

Su Yang's face sank, and he released the Nirvana Phoenix from the beast-taming space.

He did encounter a trace of resistance, but he was the master after all!

Even if the pet beast didn't want to come out, he could still throw it out.

The Phoenix came out, lowering its head, feeling a bit embarrassed to look at Su Yang.

This was different from its usual personality!

"Phoenix, tell me, what is going on?"

Su Yang asked directly.

He glanced at the Nirvana Phoenix's attribute panel.

Good guy!

Behind the Nirvana Phoenix's name, it actually said "Degrading".

Su Yang didn't believe that the Nirvana Phoenix would degrade for no reason.

The only thing that comforted Su Yang was that its talents, skills, and growth potential had not degraded.

If talents, skills, and growth potential all degraded, it would be troublesome.

The Nirvana Phoenix might be ruined.

The Nirvana Phoenix fidgeted, "I was once plotted against by human Beast Tamers and swallowed a fruit!"

"What fruit?"

"Listening to those humans, it's called a Reincarnation Fruit!"

"What are the consequences?"

"Strength degradation..."

"Permanent?"

Su Yang's face was calm as he looked at the Nirvana Phoenix.

"No!" The Phoenix shook its head repeatedly. "If it were permanent, I might as well go die... The Reincarnation Fruit will cause my strength and intelligence to degrade simultaneously. When the strength degrades to Black Iron low-tier, the intelligence will also degrade to the level of a human newborn baby, forgetting all memories, including my own identity, leaving only instinct!"

Su Yang was silent.

This was the first time he had heard of a Reincarnation Fruit.

The effect was truly quite powerful... and peculiar!

The Nirvana Phoenix took a deep breath and continued, "When my strength and intelligence drop to the lowest point, after all memories are lost, the effect of the Reincarnation Fruit ends, and I can slowly grow and return to my peak strength."

"Can the memories be retrieved?"

The Nirvana Phoenix looked at Su Yang and said in a low voice, "Yes, but it must be after recovering to the original strength level."

Su Yang asked curiously, "What was your original strength?"

"God-rank high-tier!"

God-rank high-tier?

Su Yang hadn't expected this.

He still remembered that when he first saw the Nirvana Phoenix, it was God-rank low-tier.

That was eight years ago, when he was thirteen!

"When you were dealing with the Myriad-Whiskered Black Nightmare back then..."

The Phoenix pursed its lips, "Divine beast high-tier!"

Su Yang nodded; many things became clear to him.

"Those humans shouldn't be simple, right?" Su Yang looked at the Phoenix and asked, "They wanted to subdue you?"

Just by knowing the effect of the Reincarnation Fruit, Su Yang could guess the purpose of that group of people.

Let the divine beast's strength and intelligence degrade.

Forget its identity as a divine beast.

Clear all memories...

This was simply a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity to subdue a divine beast!

If you didn't subdue the divine beast, you'd be sorry for yourself!

"Yes!"

The Phoenix nodded very firmly.

In an instant, anger filled Su Yang's chest.

Su Yang wasn't angry at the group of people who wanted to subdue the Phoenix; he was angry at the Nirvana Phoenix.

When the Nirvana Phoenix actively became his pet beast at the beginning, it didn't have good intentions!

It was very likely to bring him big trouble!

To be able to produce a Reincarnation Fruit, to be qualified to have designs on a God-rank high-tier ferocious beast, and to be able to painstakingly plot for over three hundred years to obtain the Nirvana Phoenix—could such a faction be simple?

The Nirvana Phoenix was planning to put Su Yang on the fire to roast!

Even if Su Yang gave up the Nirvana Phoenix now, he was still very likely to be affected.

Because the Nirvana Phoenix, like other ferocious beasts, could only sign a contract once in a lifetime!

Su Yang signed a contract with the Nirvana Phoenix, which also destroyed the other party's plan!

Bringing trouble to Su Yang was fine.

He had never been a person afraid of trouble!

Su Yang believed that a God-rank mid-tier Beast Tamer couldn't do anything to him either.

Even if the other party was a God-rank high-tier Beast Tamer, Su Yang could take his family and go far away, find a place to secretly develop for a while. Anyway, a gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years!

What Su Yang was worried about was the Huaxia Federation!

"Do you know what kind of trouble your actions will bring me?"

Su Yang reached out and grabbed the Nirvana Phoenix's neck.

The Nirvana Phoenix's neck made a slight sound of bone cracking.

"I know!"

Even in this situation, the Nirvana Phoenix could still make a sound.

A divine beast wasn't that fragile!

"Why?"

The Phoenix looked at Su Yang with beautiful, sorrowful eyes, "I didn't want them to succeed!"

Su Yang sneered, "So, you dragged me into the water?"

The Phoenix didn't speak.

"You might as well have found any God-rank Beast Tamer to sign a contract with; wouldn't the people plotting against you still get nothing?"

The Phoenix said in a deep voice, "I'm not reconciled; I want to take revenge on them!"

"So, you found me?"

"I feel that you can help me retrieve my memories!"

Su Yang asked back, "Why should I take such a big risk for you?"

"As long as you can help me this time, I will sincerely become your pet beast. I am very excellent; I have the potential of a God-rank peak-tier ferocious beast and can help you become God-rank peak-tier..."

As it spoke, the Nirvana Phoenix's voice became smaller and smaller.

Perhaps even it discovered that the potential it was proud of didn't seem so precious in front of Su Yang.

"They can definitely find you, right?"

"Yes! They have another Reincarnation Fruit in their hands. Every time I degrade, they can sense my location!"

The Nirvana Phoenix didn't Hou Lie to Su Yang this time.

It knew very well that at this point, it was hard to deceive Su Yang.

If they couldn't find it, why would it need to sign a contract with a Beast Tamer?

Couldn't it just run to the ends of the earth and hide?

With its countless talents and divine beast bloodline, there was still a high probability of rising again!

"Can the beast-taming space do it too?"

"Probably not!"

"Have they found you now?"

"Not yet, but soon!"

"That flame you left at the space rift..."

Su Yang had the urge to twist the Nirvana Phoenix's head off.

"Whether I leave it or not, it's actually the same. As long as they discover that space rift, they will definitely suspect that Water Blue Star," the Phoenix continued. "I ran outside for over a hundred years, and my strength started to degrade again. Finally, I returned to my territory. I originally wanted to rest for a while, but I discovered their people appearing nearby. After killing those people, I happened to sense the aura of the Nirvana Fire. After entering the Water Blue Star, I met you..."
