Chapter 278 - 8.5 First Blue Star - The Phoenix Clan
Once the deal was made, Bai Yuyan was allowed to return to his dormitory. Right after he left, those who were left inside the office resumed their conversation. At this time, Feng Jing had totally fallen asleep using his elder brother's lap as a pillow.
Dean Astra spoke, "How the kid, Dage?" he asked with a sly fox smile.
"Hmp! He is greedy but only at a reasonable level. He uses a timid facade to hide his fierce nature. It was quite a waste that he had awakened as a Guide. But since his potential is at least S, he is considered a good seed to nurture. In the future, he might become another General Guide like my wife, Xia'er." said Feng Xuan.
Xue Xia was smiling sweetly as his husband as he felt his words were sweet. He is indeed a guide and a famous general in the federation. This is because his potential is double S like Feng Xuan. Meanwhile, in the eyes of the Dean, this couple is just showing their love in the world for him to envy. He is an old bachelor at the age of 100. In this interstellar world, an ordinary human can live at most 200 years while special beings like Sentinels and Guides have an even longer lifespan. Based on their strength they would even age slower which is why for this generation of grandpas, their appearance is still in their mid-thirties at most.
Blergh~ "Dage, Dajie, stop showing your love to this old single dog~" complains Dean Astra.
Xue Xia squinted his eyes as he stared at Astra, this little brother of theirs, "If you are willing this old man can arrange some blind date for you. There are still some from our generation who haven't married or already divorced. If Astra is really interested then..."
"No. No. No. No! This old man is too busy managing this school and the Concoction Greenhouse. No free time to waste. Hehehe~" said Dean Astra.
Xue Xia clicked his tongue, "Tsk! Still workaholic as always."
"Well~ I love my job," responded Dean Astra before moving his gaze on the young major general, Feng Yang, his eldest grandnephew. "A'Yang, this grandpa had sent an invitation to the Altair Family for this incoming competition at the end of the month, did they receive it yet?" he asked.
"Grandfather Astra, A'Yang had personally sent it to Mrs. Altair. The invitation should have reached Lieutenant General Altair by now," answered Feng Yang politely.
Dean Astra says, "This is good. After all, this old man had already received a response from the factions' side. The crown side would be sending the crown prince and his princess. As for Marshal Janus's side, he would be sending Major General Draco."
SILENCE~
Once the name Marshal Janus was mentioned, the expression of the others had turned serious yet a bit gloomy. Unlike Feng Xuan who had retired due to an injury, his rival, Janus Stellan, is still in reign blocking the way for the youngsters to be promoted.
Marshal Altair, the youngest among the three leaders was a unique existence that Marshal Janus was unable to prevent. After all, that is the Strongest Sentinel in the whole oberion empire. The only beyond SSS rank potential in the whole stellar world. Some old-timers even considered this young marshal as a monster. Who would believe that someone who is only at the age of 29 is capable of grabbing one of the thrones of Marshal at such young age? Only this young yet monstrous dragon, Altair Sirius is able to do so.
"No one from the side of the Altair said anything? A'Yang if none from the Altair family accepts the invitation for the competition, you should go instead," said Feng Xuan, "We couldn't allow someone to pluck all the good seedlings and leave only the useless ones to pick on."
Feng Yang responded, "I understand, Grandfather."
"There really aren't any problems with someone from the Drake Family attending. I am only worried that Xiao Jing might fall in love at first sight with that slag man!" said Xue Xia.
Feng Yang says, "I do not think Xiao Jing's taste would be that poor."
"I'm just too worried. Look at our darling~ who would think of kidnapping such an adorable child. No! I do not think that Bai Yuyan is enough. Let's look for some more good students to team up with Xiao Jing. Or this old man's heart wouldn't be able to calm down." said Xue Xia.
Dean Astra nodded without any question. After all, he is in total agreement. "This... I would definitely help!"

First Military Academy
At the Dormitory
Bai Yuyan returned to his room as soon as he left the dean's office. He didn't forget to spray the mist perfume on him once after knowing that his pheromone's aroma was spreading for the others to notice.
"How come that Feng Jing didn't notice my pheromone?" murmured Bai Yuyan while sitting crossed legs on his room's floor carpet while staring at the exorbitant fist-size perfume bottle in front of him.
[This is because Feng Jing hasn't completely awakened as a Guide yet.]
Bai Yuyan says, "Well according to the story I've read he had failed to awaken after being beaten up by the people the original Bai Yuyan's secret admirer had hired. Would he be able to awaken as one within a month? Since he had the phoenix bloodline would his quantum beast be a phoenix? What do you think, Stella?"
[With how the Feng Family is overprotective of him, there is no way they would only leave you to guard their little precious baby phoenix. They would definitely send some soldiers from his brother's unit incognito. As for the awakening, this world isn't completely like the novel the master had read. Wasn't the fact that the fixed battle between you two being canceled enough fact?
As for his quantum beast after being awakened, being a phoenix is a definite truth. Almost everyone with the direct bloodline of Feng had a phoenix for a quantum beast. The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan can be said to have the purest bloodline. His quantum beast is the Crimson Phoenix from the legends. As for his son, Feng Tian is a mutated one. With Ice bloodline from the Xue Clan, Feng Tian's quantum beast is Ice Phoenix.
As for the youngest generation Eldest young lord, Feng Yang, his quantum beast is also a mutation like his father but unlike his father's ice attribute variation, his is darkness. Feng Yang's quantum beast is a Hell Fire Phoenix, a black-colored phoenix. It possessed fire and poison elements.
The Crown Princess Feng Yue on the other hand had inherited a more mixed bloodline of Feng and Navi. Her quantum beast is kind of special. It possessed Fire and poison elements like Feng Yang. It's a Zmiulan, a flying serpent.]
[A/n: Xue Xia the wife of Feng Xuan is from a family with the purest bloodline of Ice. His quantum beast is a Snow leopard. Feng Tian's wife, Navi Luna, is possessed by the bloodline of darkness from the black turtle clan. Her quantum beast is black mamba.]
Bai Yuyan's expression turned sour after hearing the explanation of his quantum beast about the Feng Clan's bloodline.
"Why is it that the more I learn something about the Feng Clan the more I feel that they are a family full of cheats," murmured Bai Yuyan.
[Master is not totally wrong. But there is still someone even more abnormal than the Feng Clan.]
Bai Yuyan checked through his memories and knew who the person Stella was thinking about.
"Is it Marshal Sirius?"
[Yes! His quantum beast is a fallen god type. A black dragon who possessed the legendary dark and light elements. Moreover, his overall potential is beyond triple S. Though his recorded level is only SSS at the moment.]
Hiss~ "The protagonist gong in the novel only possessed a lesser dragon bloodline. It's only a drake while his is purebred. No wonder he died early from mania in the story."
[Marshal Sirius died in the novel?]
"Because his quantum beast is so heavenly that the backlash of mania is even greater. Moreover, he had no guide to help him and no guide was able to help him as the difference in power is too much. Most guides who tried to help him in the story had imploded to an overdose of his spirit qi. The description is too gore and bloody~ Ah, I puked my dinner that time!" said Bai Yuyan. "I wonder if he would die in this world as well."
[Master that's enough recollection of that madcap novel. Please start meditation to stabilize your spirit. As for the physical training, Stella would design it and give it to the master tomorrow morning. For now, please resume your daily routine training from the other world.]
"Okay~"

The Feng Mansion.
The mansion owned by the Phoenix Family is luxurious. It is huge with courtyards, greenhouses, an orchard, and a vineyard. There is also a river surrounding the mansion which separates half of the land from the others. Near the lake and maple trees were scattered close to the edges of the waterway.
There are few greenhouses, this is where the family grew herbs for concoctions like the healing potion from before. An orchard is made of different kinds of fruit trees. There are apples, oranges, mangoes, and more. As for the vineyard, varying types of grapes used for winemaking are grown here.
The training grounds were hidden underground. There is another area where the whole clan hides their mechas and spaceships. The interior possessed north, south, east, and west wings. With the center building as main and south as the entrance.
The north building is where the elders live. The West Wing is where the 2nd generation lives and the East wing is where the current generation descendants like Feng Yang and Feng Jing live. Meals and family meetings were done at the center building.

After dinner.
East Wing Courtyard.
Feng Jing's room.
Feng Jing was scolded by his father for doing all foolish things due to misunderstanding after eating his meals. It was thanks to his mother and big brother that he was freed from his father's long nagging at some point.
As soon as he entered his room, the area was divided into a few rooms. The first door leads to the living room. On the right, there are two more doors. One kitchen and one guest room. On the left, another two more rooms are located. Master's Bedroom and the study room.
Feng Jing heads to the Master's bedroom and falls straight face on his silk-covered bed. The design of his room is like ancient china mixed with a futuristic design. It seems most of the rooms in the mansion are like this.
"My head is dizzy from a scolding that is not meant for me."
[Host, are you okay? Do you want Yue to massage your head?]
"Not a bad idea. Please do so for a bit. Acting an innocent and adorable personality all day tires me a lot ba~"
Zhi Yue materialized and held his host to ease his aching head. He gently massaged his temples and forehead to soothe the pain.
"Don't worry Lord Hei, this black history Yue had already fully recorded," said Zhi Yue smiling.
Feng Jing, "You brat. Sigh~ press a bit harder." He even closed his eyes to enjoy the massage.
"Lord Hei, is it just me or your cultivation gets lower at every completion of the world?" asked Zhi Yue honestly.
"Hn, I was wondering when are you going to ask that. I've noticed lately that you've been observing me too closely."
"Does the lord not use the accumulated world energy we had gathered in every world?"
"Of course, I use that. But not for me but to repair A'Xia's body. It wasn't only his soul that had a problem after all. My cultivation gets lower because I'm choosing to stabilize my soul instead of full healing. Full restoration needs for me to sleep like A'Xia does." replies Feng Jing. "But if even I go to slumber who would collect A'Xia's soul fragments, it's not like An Liang could leave the Nether System empty or else those old bastards from the Hei Family would completely take over. Tsk! Remembering now makes me want to kill them."
Zhi Yue finally understood the reason why his host would sometimes enter mediation only to finish and feels nothing had changed for himself. He wasn't curing his own ailment but instead is repairing the vessel of the Lord God.
Feng Jing suddenly rose from his bed and said, "Enough of that. Yue give me the upgrade perks for this vessel."
"Lord Hei would need to enter meditation all night for it," said Zhi Yue.
"Hmm~ I don't mind. Go ahead," said Feng Jing who sat on the carpeted floor, crossed his legs into a lotus form, and closed his eyes instantly entering meditation.
Zhi Yue had passed to his lord the Physique and Spirit Upgrade he had chosen before entering the world.
