Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 74: The Appearance of a New Name

Boom...

Right after Alu's hand pierced Arlo's body, flames once again erupted from Alu's hand, making Arlo's body engulfed by even more flames.

The speed at which Arlo's body being burned to ashes also became more and more fast.

If Arlo were still alive, the pain he felt under the burning flames would definitely drive him insane.

Luckily he died first.

Whooss...

The wind always rustled over the crater.

When Alu pulled back the flames that burned Arlo, all the ashes of Arlo's body that were previously trapped in the flames immediately disappeared in the wind.

...

Far above the holy path sky, no matter where it is, the holy path tablet can be seen clearly.

In order for their battle to be recognized by the holy path tablet, their strength by the time they had just entered the holy path had to be at least equal to that of a second tier faction heir.

At this time, on the tablet there were already quite a number of battle records that had appeared.

It recorded the names of those who fought. Who won and who lost. Even how someone defeated their enemy was recorded there.

Between just defeating and killing, there was clearly a big difference between the two.

Of course, the prizes obtained are also different. Even more so if the enemy killed is very strong.

It is said that the holy path will score from one star to seven stars. And to earn stars, one had to defeat enemies of the same cultivation level, or lower.

To get a star is clearly not easy.

In fact, defeating people with second tier faction heir strength was not enough to earn one star. Only by killing, then can you get one star.

In order to get two stars, the slain must be of equal strength to Arlo or Jather.

The stronger the enemy you defeat or kill, the more stars you will get.

Apart from fighting other humans, one could also earn stars by fighting beasts that were specially prepared by the holy path.

In the region of a thousand islands, the highest star ever got was only five stars. Nothing has ever gotten more than that.

And those who can earn five stars can already be considered the highest geniuses on the holy path.

In fact, even geniuses who grew up in the Spiritual Academy could usually only earn four stars.

Of course, if someone has someone else's help in defeating an enemy, or the enemy is injured, the reward will be shared with the person who helped that.

In fact, the name of the person helping is also entered by the tablet.

...

Not long after Alu killed Arlo, the tablet hovering high above the holy path suddenly emitted a bright light, which immediately caught the attention of many people.

The appearance of light on the tablet is a sign that the tablet will add a new note. And the better the notes are, the brighter the light the tablet will be.

And this time, the light emanating from the tablet completely exceeded the previous lights.

When the people saw that, they immediately stopped their activities and raised their heads upwards.

Even the people fighting inside the crater had stopped fighting.

"This must be the result of a top tier battle." People from various places on the holy path spoke.

"Who is fighting? This is probably a fight between the top fifteen."

"I wonder who the winner is?"

The people were filled with anticipation.

Not long after, the light from the tablet started to fade little by little, and the exquisitely written letters were gradually revealed in people's eyes.

Alu (assisted by Rena) vs Arlo.

Result: Arlo is killed.

Battle score: Two stars.

"..."

Silent ...

Everyone observing the tablet immediately fell silent with their mouths wide open as they looked at the notes that had appeared on the tablet.

Nobody knows who Alu and Rena are, but almost everyone who enters the holy path knows who Arlo is.

Of course, there are many people with the same name. But that two-star score is definitely not something to be had from another random Arlo name.

Not long after, commotion resounded in various places on the holy path.

But the people who were inside the crater, they all fell silent.

....

Whooss...

Right after his name entered the tablet, Alu saw a light suddenly descend toward him. No, there's another light, and it's descending towards the direction where Rena and Krinn are fighting.

Shua...

An instant later, the light descending toward him had already entered his body, and Alu could tell immediately what he had gotten.

But after Alu found out what he got, he immediately shook his head with a dissatisfied expression.

"Only this?" He says.

Not that what Alu got was anything bad. In fact, it can get most people excited.

However, for Alu, it could be said to be useless because he actually had it already.

What Alu got was a peak mysterious technique for the Nirvana stage.

"But well, it's only two stars after all."

Alu quickly threw away his thoughts.

After which, he then turned his gaze to his palm. More precisely, he stared at the flames that were above his palm.

At this time, after struggling countless times and still failing to escape, it started to stop struggling.

"Time to engulf you... As a flame, you should feel honored to be part of the Phoenix flames." Alu said with a slight smile.

But Alu's words did not make the flames rejoice. On the contrary, it was trembling even more with fear.

Every flame has the will of its owner.

As long as that will exists, it naturally doesn't want to become part of any other flame even if it is truly extraordinary. It is basically the same as removing the will of the owner, and replacing it with the will of the new owner. The old owner's will clearly did not want that to happen.

Alu then brought his palm to his mouth.

Because the flame is very small and weak, Alu can purify it by swallowing it directly.

Alu closed his eyes after that. But he did it in just one breath. After which, he opened his eyes again.
