100: The phoenix sheds its blood, its pride shattered in defeat!

"Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?"

As the Four Divine Beasts gathered on the battlefield, the Phoenix did not look pleased. At this moment, the appearance of the Azure Dragon and the others was clearly to see it make a fool of itself.

"Hey, how can you say that? These ruins are only so big. Who wouldn't hear such a massive commotion from your fight?"

The White Tiger took the form of a simple and honest-looking middle-aged man, speaking without any filter.

On the battlefield, Lin Yue's gaze swept toward the other three Divine Beasts.

At this critical juncture, the simultaneous appearance of the Four Divine Beasts saved him the trouble of seeking them out one by one.

He just didn't know if the other three Divine Beasts would interfere in the battle between him and the Phoenix.

If the other three Divine Beasts also joined the fray, the pressure on him would be immense.

As if seeing through Lin Yue's thoughts, the Azure Dragon said disdainfully, "Adventurer, don't look at us with that kind of gaze. We are only here to spectate; you two keep fighting."

The Azure Dragon's words were echoed by the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger. They were bored to death in the ruins, and upon sensing the battle here, they naturally couldn't sit still and came to take a look.

However, what surprised them was that the Phoenix was currently at a disadvantage.

Having known each other inside out for hundreds of years, they knew the Phoenix's strength all too well.

To be able to push the Phoenix to this extent, Lin Yue was clearly not simple.

"As long as you don't interfere. This is my battle; I will settle it myself."

Although the Phoenix was at a disadvantage, its arrogant temperament remained unchanged.

Rebirth from Ashes!

As it spoke, seemingly not wanting to be looked down upon by the other Four Divine Beasts like the Azure Dragon, the Phoenix immediately unleashed its trump card.

The magma on the ground surged high, and endless flames enveloped the Phoenix's entire body.

After a Phoenix cry that resounded through the clouds and the flames subsided, the Phoenix returned to its peak state once again.

The expected unexpected situation had indeed occurred.

Lin Yue cast an Eye of Insight; the health that was originally less than twenty million had actually returned to fifty million.

"That's just cheap."

Lin Yue was speechless. After working so hard for so long, the opponent's single skill had fully restored its health.

Gathering thunderous power in the thunder punishment staff once more, Lin Yue had no choice but to start over.

The Azure Dragon narrowed its eyes, looking at the Phoenix's posture and frowning.

According to the rules, the Phoenix should have committed a violation.

Their mission in these ruins was to test the Person of Destiny.

This was a test, not a kill; the power used must follow the established rules.

But Rebirth from Ashes was the Phoenix's signature skill, not part of the test.

Clearly, to avoid being looked down upon by the other Divine Beasts, the Phoenix had used power beyond the regulatory limits, which was already a violation.

"Azure Dragon, what do we do now? If Chaos finds out later, the Phoenix will definitely be in for a world of trouble!"

The White Tiger also noticed something was amiss and leaned in to speak.

"We rise and fall together. We must help it hide this. Call the Black Tortoise; we will cast a Spell together to cover this battle so Chaos won't find out."

The relationship between the Four Divine Beasts was excellent. Instead of exposing the Phoenix for its violation, they thought of ways to cover it up.

Thus, after some discussion, the three Divine Beasts cast Spells simultaneously to conceal the battle.

Lin Yue on the battlefield didn't know yet that the trial between him and the Phoenix had changed its nature.

After the Rebirth from Ashes, the Phoenix not only had its health fully restored, but its damage also seemed to have increased significantly.

Phantom Clone deployed.

The explosive force generated by each Phoenix phantom was more than double what it was before.

Lin Yue no longer had the passive effect of Vibrant Life, so this time, he couldn't go all out on damage and had to avoid the Phoenix's skills.

Crushing another two hundred free attribute points, Lin Yue's total movement speed was now 73 points; after being reduced by twenty-five percent, it was 55 points.

In this desperate situation, fifty-five points of movement speed were enough to evade most of the Phoenix's skill damage.

If even such high movement speed wasn't enough, he could only wait for death and restart.

Fortunately, after Lin Yue's movement speed increased again, the Phoenix could do nothing against him.

Boom!

Under the attack of pure lightning Spells, the Phoenix could only take the beating passively, and its health was visibly decreasing.

"How can he be so strong!"

A minute later, the Phoenix, whose health had been halved again by Lin Yue, began to dodge.

In just this one minute, only a handful of the Spells it launched hit Lin Yue; conversely, after Lin Yue's speed surged, his kiting became even smoother.

Now that the Phoenix's health had dropped by half, if it didn't dodge, it would surely be destroyed by Lin Yue within a minute.

"He's actually this fierce?"

The White Tiger's eyes widened; it was the first time it had seen the Phoenix beaten so miserably.

If it were in the Phoenix's place, it might not fare any better.

"This Person of Destiny is not simple."

From the beginning, the Azure Dragon had been staring intently at Lin Yue, observing him.

The confidence and composure shown by the thin Adventurer before it in battle was something even it found incredible.

"That Adventurer still has strength in reserve."

The usually silent Black Tortoise also spoke; though lazy by nature, its eyesight was exceptional.

As soon as the Black Tortoise spoke, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger fell silent.

Just as the Black Tortoise said, Lin Yue, who was fighting the Phoenix, clearly still had strength in reserve.

Sure enough, Lin Yue fought even more fiercely as the battle progressed.

Under such high-pressure combat, his growth was significant; by now, he had completely mastered the Phoenix's attack rhythm.

His pale purple robe rustled in the air as violent lightning roared and rampaged across the Phoenix.

By the final minute of the battle, the Phoenix had been struck by Lin Yue's lightning Spells until it didn't even look like a bird anymore.

Its fiery red feathers had long since lost their luster, and its crimson body was scorched black in patches; its appearance could only be described as pathetic.

A few seconds later.

The Phoenix fell from mid-air, with not a single patch of uninjured flesh left on its body.

The pride in its heart was completely crushed by Lin Yue, and its once arrogant head finally drooped.

At this moment, it was thoroughly convinced and could no longer act tough.

"Ding, congratulations to player White Emperor for being the first to defeat an Advanced Lord Boss. A Server-wide Announcement is about to be made. Do you wish to hide your name?"

Seeing the System prompt, Lin Yue chose no.

The Ruins of the Four Divine Beasts where he was currently located had a connection to the Lost City, and he didn't want the outside world to know what he was doing for the time being.

"System: Server-wide Announcement. Congratulations to Hidden Name for being the first to defeat an Advanced Lord Boss. Reward: +100 free attribute points, 100 Gold, +10 Fame."
