Chapter 1227: Phoenix Soul Transformation Art
November 6, 2017
Among this particular dungeon squad, Zhao Er was the only non-historical general.
Although he was an indigenous NPC general, Zhao Er's strength was by no means inferior to the other historical generals accompanying him, with the exception of Dian Wei. However, due to his non-historical status, he faced a significant issue—his innate talent.
Zhao Er was one of Lu Hai Kong's most senior subordinates, and when he first joined Lu Hai Kong, his talent was only at the Advanced level.
Even after Lu Hai Kong enhanced his talent to the Top-tier level, Zhao Er's initial peak strength was merely 94.
Zhao Er's strength should have plateaued at 94, but Lu Hai Kong provided him with a Rebirth Elixir to further elevate his talent, allowing his strength growth limit to reach 99.
While 99 seemed like an incredibly high growth limit, in reality, Zhao Er's talent still lagged far behind that of Zhao Yun and the others, even with his strength growth limit raised to 99. It could be said that, in terms of talent, they were not on the same level at all.
Historical generals might not appear significantly stronger than non-historical ones, but that didn't mean they lacked advantages. Their greatest strength lay in their talent.
Historical generals had no talent levels; they could only gauge their talent roughly. This lack of a talent level was a talent that far surpassed that of indigenous NPCs because it implied infinite growth potential. Conversely, even the most top-tier existence like Zhao Er had significant limitations.
Especially now, as Zhao Er's strength had already grown to 95, he increasingly felt the difficulty of growth for indigenous NPCs.
This hardship was largely due to his comparison with Zhao Yun's growth. Without such a comparison, Zhao Er's progress would have been considered decent. However, after prolonged exposure to top-tier historical generals like Zhao Yun, Zhao Er's progress was completely overshadowed.
In the past two years, Zhao Er had been living with the constant pressure of being quickly caught up by his juniors and gradually falling behind. Despite Zhao Er's utmost efforts, twelvefold or even twentyfold, those who were meant to be surpassed still managed to do so.
Being constantly chased and surpassed was a situation that would weigh heavily on anyone's mind.
Lu Hai Kong was well aware of Zhao Er's predicament, and he had always been partial to his veteran subordinates. Zhao Er was one of Lu Hai Kong's most senior subordinates.
For a valiant warrior like Zhao Er, who possessed ambition, courage, and both strength and strategy, Lu Hai Kong couldn't help but favor him.
Therefore, upon discovering Zhao Er's dilemma, Lu Hai Kong spared no effort in assisting him. He not only provided him with abundant resources but also offered significant support in martial arts.
Lu Hai Kong's greatest advantage lay in his martial arts prowess. For ordinary individuals, each point of strength gained would correspond to 0.5 points of martial arts insight. For talented individuals, the ratio was 1:0.8, and for the most gifted, it could barely reach 1:1.
However, Lu Hai Kong was different. He desired a 1:2 ratio in strength and martial arts growth.
Despite his strength not having officially broken the hundred mark yet, this guy's understanding of martial arts had already surpassed that of Yuwen Chengdu and the others. Lu Hai Kong had even created his own Mythic Rank inner strength technique, and with his assistance, Zhao Er naturally gained an edge.
To compensate for Zhao Er's innate talent deficiency, Lu Hai Kong tailored a set of martial arts techniques based on Zhao Er's primary cultivation method, the Phoenix Essence Technique.
It took Lu Hai Kong an entire month to develop this technique, which he named the Phoenix Soul Transformation Art. It was also of Mythic Rank, and upon its completion, Lu Hai Kong, as the creator, received a Mythic Rank treasure chest.
Although Lu Hai Kong's naming skills remained impressive, the name of this technique alone gave a good idea of its nature. The Phoenix Soul Transformation Art was a set of techniques that used the Phoenix's fire to refine demonic energy and nurture oneself.
Lu Hai Kong had only recently developed this technique, and it had been in Zhao Er's hands for just a few days. The effectiveness of this technique remained to be seen, and this battle would serve as the ultimate test. Thus, in this instance squad, Zhao Er was the most eager for combat.
As the seemingly endless horde of undead approached, Zhao Er brandished his Phoenix Spear and charged forward, his entire body engulfed in crimson flames. He plunged into the midst of the undead army.
The battle commenced, a bloodbath filled with flames and blood, and for Zhao Er, it was a thrilling slaughter!
The weak undead were torn apart by Zhao Er's spear, and as they died, the demonic energy on their bodies flew directly towards Zhao Er, merging with the crimson flames surrounding him, intensifying the fire.
The demonic energy on the undead bodies, after being purified by the crimson flames on Zhao Er's skin, transformed into refined energy that merged with his body. It was refined by the surging inner power within Zhao Er, strengthening his inner power and simultaneously enhancing his constitution.
Zhao Er's current situation was more akin to cultivation than combat. This technique, which allowed him to grow through slaughter and refinement, was truly astonishing.
"Is this the heart method that the Lord created for General Zhao? It's indeed terrifyingly powerful. Refining demonic energy to nurture oneself, seemingly brutal yet incredibly intricate, it's truly a shocking divine skill!"

Gao Lan, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun, witnessing the flames engulfing Zhao Er's body and his ever-rising aura, couldn't help but exclaim in awe!
After the initial astonishment, Gao Lan's face also wore a proud smile filled with battle intent: "The technique the Lord created for Nan Li is indeed remarkable, but the axe technique the Lord tailored for me is the strongest!"
As he spoke, Gao Lan also sprang into action, his battle axe raised as he joined the fight!
Well, it was more of a training session than a battle, as Gao Lan, like Zhao Er, was also practicing his axe technique.
After all, for these extraordinary individuals, the undead with a maximum strength value of ten or even without any equipment posed no threat whatsoever.
While Zhao Er and the others fought, Dian Wei and Ye Xun Taishi Ling stood by, doing nothing but watching from the sidelines...
