Shi Jin spoke up abruptly, drawing every eye to him.
The Phoenix Secret Realm is calling to you?
What kind of joke is this!
"What do you mean?"
Fengjue Shenzhu stood upon the high platform, his gaze burning.
Shinohara Densetsu, the archaeologist of the Seven Isles, was frowning at Shi Jin as well.
What nonsense is this fellow spouting now?
Do you think you are a Listener? And now the secret realm is calling to you?
"What did you hear?" Shinohara Densetsu asked.
"It could also be that he's exhausted himself into a faint. A bit of mental haze." Shi Zhuowei shook his head.
To be precise, it seemed to be calling to Chitong.
After he had sent Chitong out to fight just now, the secret realm ahead had grown ever more alluring to Chitong.
That allure, to borrow Chitong's peculiar metaphor, was like *Little Tiger Goes Home*, or perhaps *Temptation to Return Home*.
In any case, somewhere within the secret realm there absolutely existed something drawing Chitong in through his bloodline.
Everyone: "..."
"Senior Fengjue, the battle was my win, wasn't it."
At this moment, Shi Jin set the secret realm aside and repeated the outcome of the battle once more.
Hearing Shi Jin repeat it a second time, both Fengjue Jixiang and Fengjue Jieyi turned black in the face.
No need to repeat it so many times!
"I understand."
Fengjue Jixiang instantly grasped what Shi Jin meant, and with a sour expression gestured toward Shi Shuo.
In the next moment, a Phoenix Fruit—a peculiar fruit shaped like a pineapple, yet with red skin and red leaves—flew from the spatial equipment she had stored it in, toward Shi Jin.
Shi Jin simply raised his arm and caught the pineapple... the Phoenix Fruit one-handed, scanning it through the third-tier Codex, that is, the invisible lens in his eye.
No data.
Still, its energy level marked it as a Tier Seven resource.
It was saturated with the power of flame.
Even if it was meant to bestow a phoenix bloodline, it would likely grant a fire phoenix bloodline, just like Fengjue Jieyi, which was why all her beasts were of the fire element.
At the same time, even if it could elevate the bloodline strength of a phoenix beast, it would have to be a fire-element phoenix.
And Lu Yan's Azure Spiritbird was of the wind element. It seemed that unless a variant could be researched, the thing was useless.
For Chitong as well, this thing was of no use. After all, Chitong's bloodline, even among the phoenix clan, was top-tier.
Apart from a god-tier bloodline, Chitong's bloodline was of the highest grade. This thing naturally could have no effect on Chitong.
"This is—"
At this moment, President Terashima of the Crimson God Association, along with Shinohara Densetsu whom he had invited, caught sight of the fruit in Shi Jin's hand and immediately froze.
They quickly understood as well: that battle just now had most likely been a wager.
And Shi Jin's spoils from winning the battle were the core resource of the Phoenix Shrine, the Phoenix Fruit.
[Lost again...] At this moment, having once more confirmed that the third competitor of the Seven Isles World Tournament had also lost to "Lu Bai," President Terashima and Shinohara Densetsu both fell somewhat silent.
Though this was quite normal—after all, if Fengjue Jieyi went all out, she might not necessarily beat the Demon Blade Jindai—such battles could not simply be substituted in this way. The fire element did counter the ice element, and it was only natural that outcomes varied between different beast tamers.
And now, apart from the Seven Isles' two Legend competitors, "Lu Bai" had ruthlessly crushed both the older generation and the new alike. For the beast tamers of the Seven Isles, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
"Thanks, I'll be taking it." At this moment, Shi Zhuowei smiled faintly and stowed the Phoenix Fruit directly through the relic space. With all the trump cards he now held, he no longer cared whether he showed off spatial equipment or not.
