Chapter 9: Unexpected Absorption of the Dark Phoenix Persona

When it comes to the Summoner’s Rift, Yu Feng’s enthusiasm surges.
As a former King of League of Legends in his previous life, he is extremely familiar with it.
He can fabricate stories with ease.

Regardless, as long as he tells a few battles and adds details like jungle clearing, ganking, team fights, and so on, it becomes an exciting and interesting story.

Yu Feng’s storytelling is incessant.

Jean listens with great interest.

However, no matter how interesting a story is, listening to it for too long can make one feel tired and sleepy.

Moreover, it is late at night.
The reason Jean couldn’t sleep was because she had too many troubles in her heart.
But now, being with Yu Feng, all the worries in her heart seem to dissipate.
Listening to the stories, she unconsciously closes her eyes, sitting next to Yu Feng and gradually entering the realm of dreams.

“Phew~”

After finishing the thirty-eighth “holy war,” seeing the little girl Jean finally asleep, Yu Feng takes a sip of water to moisten his throat, finally feeling relieved.

“Now, all that’s left is physical contact, right?”

Looking at Jean, peacefully sleeping, Yu Feng thinks for a moment, then reaches out and gently grabs her small, tender hand.

At that instant, he feels a surge of power rising from his body.

Whether it’s an illusion or reality, the darkness around gradually dissipates, revealing strands of golden light, constantly shimmering.
In this golden light, he senses a strange phoenix-like power being absorbed.

In an instant, scenes flicker through Yu Feng’s mind like a movie.

The first scene is when Jean was younger.
With a thought, over a dozen cars around her suddenly flew up and then fiercely crashed down, shocking many onlookers.
It was then that Jean realized the terrifying power within herself…

The second scene is Jean sleeping in her room at the academy, but suddenly having a nightmare, followed by the entire mutant school trembling like an earthquake…

The third scene is a gentle psychic force entering Jean’s mind, continuously guiding her.
It is undoubtedly the psychic power belonging to Professor X, and his voice is gently saying, “Jean, learn to control that power, don’t be afraid of it, you can do it…”

The fourth scene… seems to no longer belong to Jean’s memories.
It is a somewhat dark scene where Yu Feng sees a “Jean” filled with darkness and violence, struggling desperately.
But in the next moment, she is bathed in a golden flash and disappears!

“Phew!”

Yu Feng suddenly opens his eyes.

Although those four scenes weren’t particularly long, Yu Fen felt like a century has passed.

“The first three scenes should belong to Jean’s memories, right? As for the fourth scene, that ‘Jean’ who appeared in it is undoubtedly Jean’s Dark Phoenix persona.
However… it seems like my Digitized gene Space absorbed it?”

“In other words, the flashes indicating a mysterious substance containing special power aren’t exactly the Phoenix Force, but rather the Dark Phoenix persona?”

There is indeed a significant difference between the Phoenix Force and the Dark Phoenix persona.

The former has no concept of good or evil; it is simply pure power.
However, the latter represents brutality, cruelty, and destruction—a purely destructive existence.

The visions in Yu Feng’s mind disappear quickly.

The room returns to its peaceful and tranquil state, with only faint moonlight streaming in through the window, intertwining with the slightly dim lighting.

Yu Feng blinks, feeling a little dazed.

“It seems… that it ended?”

“I don’t seem to have changed in any way…”

Although he absorbed the Dark Phoenix persona through his Digitized gene space, Yu Feng completely failed to understand what changes it will bring him.

Will it simply enhance his abilities related to the Glint Glint Fruit?

Or will there be actual changes according to his will?

Or does it grant him the power of the Dark Phoenix?

Various questions flicker in Yu Feng’s mind.

“Right, since I absorbed the Dark Phoenix persona, it means I have removed that dark aspect from Jean, right?”

“In other words, Jean will be able to control the Phoenix Force more easily in the future? Perhaps even evolving rapidly to the level of White Phoenix?”

Yu Feng ponders in his heart.

The Dark Phoenix persona is not equivalent to the complete Phoenix Force.
Although he absorbed the Dark Phoenix, there is definitely still the presence of the Phoenix Force within Jean.

And without the obstruction of the Dark Phoenix persona, as long as Jean is guided properly, the difficulty of controlling the Phoenix Force will undoubtedly be reduced significantly.

However, that is something to be dealt with later.

The immediate task is to understand the changes in his own abilities.

Thinking this, Yu Feng prepared to grab a blanket and cover Jean.
But just as he is about to cover her, Jean murmurs and shows signs of waking up.
Yu Feng’s hand shakes slightly, and his speed increases.
However, little did he expect that as his speed increased, his whole body suddenly emits a golden light.

In 0.0001 seconds, before Yu Feng could react, he had already vanished.

And Jean, in a comfortable posture, covered by a blanket, goes from the living room to the bedroom, soundly asleep on the bed.

“Huh… Where’s Yu Feng?”

Jean suddenly opens her eyes, realizing that she is already lying in the bedroom, neatly covered with a blanket.
She seems to remember something, her little face blushes slightly, and she shyly covers her small head with the blanket…

Meanwhile, outside Jean’s room.

Yu Feng wears a dazed expression.

“I-I… just now… Did I really accomplish all this at the speed of light?!”

“Have I broken the law of light’s linear propagation?!”
