92: Chapter 92 Dongyun City Youth Beast Armor Master Competition

Ye Wushuang's gaze fell on Lin Fan's face, without hesitation. "Extreme Ice Phoenix."

An expected answer.

Lin Fan was not surprised; people like Ye Wushuang naturally pursued the optimal solution.

"You'll have to figure out the Materials yourself."

Lin Fan took a piece of paper from the counter and picked up a pen to write a few lines.

"The Ice Phoenix tail feather and the Extreme Ice Cold Marrow are both hard to find. Furthermore, the Ice Phoenix tail feather must be naturally shed by a living Ice Phoenix; artificially collected ones are ineffective. The Extreme Ice Cold Marrow can only be conceived in the depths of glaciers."

Ye Wushuang took the note, glanced at it, and tucked it into his robe. "I can gather them within three days."

"Fine."

Lin Fan nodded.

"During these three days, follow my instructions to clear out the residue. In three days, bring the Mystic Ice Luan Bird over, and I will help you complete the Fusion."

Ye Wushuang nodded, but instead of leaving, he stared straight at Lin Fan.

"There is one more thing."

He paused.

"The Dongyun City Youth Beast Armor Master Tournament. It's held every two years, for those between 16 and 23 years old. This year's competition will be held in three months."

Lin Fan leaned back in his chair without responding.

"It's a team competition, three people per group." Ye Wushuang looked at him.

"I need teammates."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.

"You're coming to me to find teammates? Isn't there a queue of people in Class One waiting to team up with you?"

"They aren't strong enough."

Ye Wushuang's answer was crisp and direct, without a hint of tact.

Lin Fan looked at him, silent for a few seconds.

This person was truly serious.

"What about the prizes?"

"A competition that catches the eye of Ye Wushuang shouldn't have bad rewards, right?"

Ye Wushuang pulled a gold-stamped invitation from his robe and pushed it in front of Lin Fan.

The cover was imprinted with the emblem of the Dongyun City Beast Armor Master Association, with a line of small text below— "The 3rd Dongyun City Youth Beast Armor Master Tournament."

"The champion team, each person can choose three treasures from the Association's treasury."

Lin Fan opened the invitation and his gaze fell on the list of prizes on the last page.

[Special Reward]: One Heavenly Derivation Spirit Fruit. Effect: Has a chance to help a Beast Armor Master open a new armor aperture.

The success rate is related to the number of armor apertures; the fewer armor apertures one has, the higher the success rate of opening a new one. Limited to one per person.

"Heavenly Derivation Spirit Fruit."

Lin Fan read the line aloud and looked up at Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang nodded.

"A treasure of the Association, only three are taken out for each tournament. Only the champion team is qualified to choose."

Lin Fan closed the invitation and pushed it back.

"Are you sure you can win the championship?"

Ye Wushuang looked at him, his gaze calm.

"Not sure. But with you there, the chances are higher."

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Coming from Ye Wushuang's mouth, these words were more effective than any compliment.

"Fine."

Lin Fan reached out his hand, "Happy cooperation."

Ye Wushuang looked down at his hand, was silent for a moment, then shook it.

"Happy cooperation."

Releasing his hand, Ye Wushuang stood up.

"In three days, I will bring the Mystic Ice Luan Bird."

Lin Fan nodded. "Fine."

Ye Wushuang didn't respond and pushed the door open to leave. The wind chime rang once, and the shop returned to silence.

...

Three days later, evening.

Ye Wushuang appeared at the entrance of Mo Fan Pavilion on time.

Then, the two officially got down to business.

Ye Wushuang took out three jade boxes and lined them up one by one.

Lin Fan's left eye heated up slightly, and information appeared; they were all top-quality Materials.

"The items are fine."

Lin Fan closed the jade boxes. "What about the state of the Mystic Ice Luan Bird?"

Ye Wushuang raised his right hand, and ice-blue light condensed in his palm.

The Mystic Ice Luan Bird landed on his shoulder, its wings tucked in, but it still occupied a small half of the backyard.

Its feathers were more translucent than three days ago, the light blue paste at the base of its wings had been completely absorbed, and its spiritual power circulation was much smoother.

Lin Fan's left eye swept over it again; the spiritual power blockage had disappeared.

The state was perfect.

"We can begin."

Lin Fan stood up and stretched his wrists.

"Put the Mystic Ice Luan Bird on the stone platform."

Ye Wushuang nodded, gave a light wave, and the Mystic Ice Luan Bird landed on the bluestone platform in the center of the backyard.

It seemed to know what was about to happen, pulled in its wings, and crouched there quietly, its ice-blue eyes looking at Lin Fan without resistance.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, opened the three jade boxes one by one, and placed them around the stone platform.

The Mystic Ice Crystal was in the center, the Ice Phoenix tail feathers were arranged in a triangular pattern, and the Extreme Ice Cold Marrow was placed on the outermost edge.

"After the evolution begins, I need you to continuously input spiritual power to stabilize its mind. No matter what happens, do not stop."

Lin Fan looked at Ye Wushuang.

"Can you do that?"

Ye Wushuang nodded.

Lin Fan said nothing more, formed seals with both hands, and pale golden light shimmered at his fingertips.

He slowly injected spiritual power into the three Materials; the Mystic Ice Crystal lit up first, and the ice-blue halo spread out like ripples, enveloping the entire stone platform.

The Ice Phoenix tail feathers moved without wind, floating up, and the tips of the tail feathers scattered fine ice crystals, outlining complex patterns in the air.

The Extreme Ice Cold Marrow quietly melted, turning into wisps of extremely cold mist that seeped into the roots of the Mystic Ice Luan Bird's wings.

The Luan Bird let out a clear, resonant cry, and dazzling blue light burst from its whole body.

Its body began to expand in the light, its feathers stood on end, and ice crystals rapidly spread and reorganized along the feather shafts.

The violent energy fluctuations caused the temperature in the backyard to plummet, and frost flowers condensed on the ground.

Ye Wushuang's expression was calm, his palms continuously outputting pure spiritual power, like a stable bridge connecting the Luan Bird's restless consciousness.

Beads of sweat seeped from Lin Fan's forehead, and data streams scrolled rapidly in his left eye.

He precisely controlled the Fusion rhythm of the three energy streams; the Bloodline Power of the Ice Phoenix tail feathers was being slowly drawn out, resonating with the Luan Bird's Origin.

Suddenly, the Luan Bird's wings opened violently, and an ice ring exploded outward!

Lin Fan shouted lowly: "Steady!"

Ye Wushuang's spiritual power surged, forcibly suppressing the rampaging cold current.

Seeing that a crystalline crest gradually protruded from the Luan Bird's forehead, its tail feathers lengthened, emitting a colorful ice halo—that was a sign that its Bloodline was transitioning to a higher level.

The process lasted for a whole hour.

When the last trace of the cold marrow mist was completely absorbed, the light gradually faded.

On the stone platform, the Mystic Ice Luan Bird... no, at this moment it should be called the Extreme Ice Phoenix, slowly opened its eyes.

Its body size was a circle larger than before, its tail feathers were long and slender like a waterfall, shimmering with colors interwoven with ice crystals and rainbow light.

An ice crest stood proudly on its forehead, and the cold air radiating from its body had condensed into a faint frost mist, rising and falling with its breath.

The most astonishing part was its eyes.

The originally ice-blue pupils had turned golden, and deep within the pupils, fine ice crystal patterns were slowly rotating.

Ye Wushuang withdrew his spiritual power, carefully sensing the far more majestic ice-type energy coming from the other end of the contract, a trace of almost imperceptible joy flashing in his eyes.

"Success."

Lin Fan let out a breath, his left eye heated up slightly, and new information appeared.
