Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 15: Blood Essence

When only Alu was alone on the ship, Alu then took out the spirit egg that he had previously kept in his storage ring.

"Brat, how dare you put us in the storage ring. Do you know who we are?" The voice of an angry young girl immediately echoed from within the egg right after Alu took it out.

ALU remembers the young girl was called Elly before.

"You're not polite, kid." The voice of the young man called Charlie followed.

Alu felt uncomfortable when he heard their words because from their voices, Alu guessed they might be younger than him. Even though appearance couldn't determine age, at least their appearance should be younger than Alu's appearance. And from the way they speak, it is clear that their nature is still the nature of young people.

"Who exactly are you two? Can you guys get out of there?" Alu then asked.

"Humph, you must be very curious, right, son?" Elly replied with a snort. "But since you are from the Phoenix clan, this lady doesn't mind telling you."

"We are both spirits from the god clan. Have you heard of it, kid, ha-ha-ha, this lady is sure you haven't." Said Elly with a mocking laugh.

Alu narrowed his eyes when he heard Elly's words. ALU has indeed heard that there are several spirit clans, but ALU still does not clearly know the names of spirit clans.

But according to what Alu heard, each spirit clan possessed different powers. The strongest spirit clan was said to be extremely difficult to summon. Only highly talented spirit masters could summon spirits that came from powerful clans.

God Clan! The name sounded even more domineering than the Dragon and Phoenix names. Besides, judging how Elly spoke who sounded so proud, Alu guessed that the god clan might be very strong.

"Better keep your tone, little lady, now you two are mine. Don't think I can't do anything to you." Alu snapped.

"Hey, how dare you call me little lady, do you know how old I am." Anger immediately answered Alu's words.

Before Elly could continue, Charlie spoke up to stop her.

"Stop playing Elly. We didn't come to this world to have fun. Our goal is to increase our strength. Isn't it because of your arrogance that keeps us trapped under that mountain." Charlie said, which made Elly fall silent.

Charlie then talks to Alu.

"Okay, now let's talk. My name is Charlie, and she is my sister, Elly. Can you please introduce yourself first?" Charlie asked.

"Alu." Replied Alu.

Because Charlie started talking seriously, Alu who was curious about the two of them also started to get serious.

"Alright, Alu. First, for your question. I'll be honest, we can't get out of here unless there is a spirit master who binds a contract with us." Charlie explained, making Alu knit his brows.

"I hope you don't think that I will help you find a spirit master. That definitely won't happen." Alu said after hearing Charlie's words.

"Humph, arrogant." Elly's grunt sounded once again.

"You're quiet, Elly." Charlie immediately scolded Elly.

"Okay, I knew you would say that. From your expression I could tell you were the type who only cared about yourself." He said to Alu.

Alu did not react with his words because Alu himself admitted that he was such a person.

"By the way, what did you mean a while ago?" Alu then asks as he remembers what Charlie said right before he put their eggs in his storage ring.

"He-he-he, I didn't expect you to really pay attention to it. Before I was still confused, but since being inside your storage ring, I finally know what it is." Charlie answered.

"Try taking out the little box in your storage ring." He then asked.

Alu was a little confused by his words, but when he heard the words small box, Alu immediately remembered the box left by his mother.

"Is this?" Asked Alu.

"Do you know what's in this box? What exactly is it?"

Alu stared at the egg where Charlie was with suspicious eyes. Judging from Charlie's words, he seemed to know what the box contained.

"Can you open the box?" Charlie suddenly asked.

Before Alu could answer, Elly's voice was heard once again. "Obviously he can't. If he can open it, he will know what it is. And of course, it won't be there anymore." Elly said in a sarcastic tone.

"...."

"I can't open it right now, but I still know how to open it." Replied Alu. Alu's tone became colder this time because Elly's disrespectful behavior made Alu unhappy.

"Oh." Charlie is surprised when he hears Alu has a way of opening it.

"How to." He then asked.

"Tell me first, what's in the box."

"Okey, okey. I don't know where you got the box. But there is something really extraordinary in that box." Charlie answered.

"You may be surprised when you hear this. But there is a drop of an extremely powerful spirit master's blood essence in the box." Said Charlie.

But unlike Charlie expected, there was no change in Alu's expression.

Of course, it wasn't that Alu wasn't surprised. But something related to spirit masters might not be of much use to Alu who wasn't a spirit master.

"Sigh." Charlie sighed as he watched Alu's expression remain flat.

"You live in a place that is too remote, so you may not know.

In reality, spirit power wasn't only for those born with special talents.

Yes, it is true that special talents are required to possess spirit power. But that doesn't mean that special talents are only innate.

Actually anyone can awaken that special talent in some way. One of them was to use the blood essence of a powerful spirit master. Heavenly stage spirit master at the very least.

As for the blood essence in that box, not only was it strong, it was even so powerful that it far surpassed your imagination.

So, if you could refine that blood essence, not only could you become a spirit master, even your talent in spirit power, would also be extraordinary.

Of course, you might only be able to refine a little with your current strength. But that could already make many spirit masters jealous.

I estimate; that blood essence probably came from heaven.

The coordinates we were aiming for when we came to this world were completely random. But why did we land in this world and this continent. Although there isn't a definite place where we will land, but I think that blood essence has a big hand."

This time Alu could no longer hide his surprise when he heard what Charlie had said.

"Is it true?" Asked Alu.

Become a spirit master! Who doesn't want it. Even Alu always dreamed of having that mysterious power.

Hearing that the box left by her mother actually held such a valuable treasure, ALU couldn't help but be surprised. Especially when he heard Charlie say that it might come from heaven.

Heaven! It's a place almost everyone has ever said.

ALU knows that the world in which he is currently living is very large, and it is said that around the world itself, there are many small worlds which are referred to as the Lower Realms.

However, according to legend, there was actually a world that was higher and stronger. It is Heaven! Even the true Dragon and Phoenix clans were said to live in that place.

Even though it was only a legend, many people believed in the existence of that place.

"I never lie." Charlie answered.

"Now, can you tell me how to open the box.

If you can awaken your special talent using that blood essence, I don't mind tying a contract with you.

Tying a contract with a talented spirit master is also beneficial for us."

"It's actually quite difficult. I can't do it now." Alu answered before he explained how to open the box. Alu also explained his plan which would target the Holy Light clan young master.

"Mnnn, this does sound quite difficult." Charlie said in a voice that sounded like he was nodding his head.

"But in my opinion, that box should have been opened before. And the person who opened it was the one who closed it again. Considering it might be an inheritance from heaven, it shouldn't be something that would be bestowed on a True Spiritual stage."

Alu knitted his brows when he heard what Charlie said.

"Is that my mother? Also, how strong is she really?" Alu wondered.

Now the figure of his mother has become much more mysterious in Alu's mind.

"So, Alu, do you have any means of capturing that young master. You know, fighting across cultivation stages is not something that easy.

Even if your spiritual source reaches its limit, there is still a difference in strength between two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual sources and three thousand spiritual sources.

You might be able to defeat a first-layer Life and Death stage expert if your spiritual source reaches the fourth stage, but your target this time has five thousand spiritual sources.

And who knows how much his spiritual source will increase in the next month."

There were some cultivation techniques that could temporarily increase one's spiritual source, but even those techniques would not be able to help break through the limits.

Of course, Alu's real problem wasn't whether he could fight beyond the cultivation stage or not. The problem is that the enemy of Alu this time, is already quite strong even among the Life and Death stages itself.

"I just have no way at this point." Replied Alu. "But who wins and who loses the battle is not only determined by who is stronger. I may not have the ability to fight head on. But I can still take advantage of the situation to bring him down."

"You're right. But things sometimes don't always go the way you want them to. Compared to success, your chances of failure are much greater."

"Your words sound like you have a way."

"You are indeed smart. Since I want you to become a spirit master and since you are also a descendant of the Phoenix, I have no objections to helping you. I do have a way for you to fight with that young master."
