This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 69 - 61: Breaking Free from Shackles! Phoenix?!

At the top of the castle.

"Little Lin Ke, hurry up, or this potential magical beast cub will die!"

Ove spoke with an unusual urgency.

He wasn’t worried about the magic stones he used up, nor was it because the magical beast’s talent was rare.

For someone who’s already at the starlight level, only the possibility of legendary breakthroughs matters; everything else is trivial.

And outside of "everything else," Lin Ke is undoubtedly important to him.

Both mentor and father!

He hopes his mentee Lin Ke can have one more strong ally, a partner!

"No, teacher, wait a moment!"

Lin Ke spoke up, then closed his eyes, furrowing his brows to focus on the bond and warmth that had suddenly appeared in the Soul Space.

It was a soul bond line, thick to the extreme yet very weak.

This was brought about by the previous use of the master-servant contract.

"Little one! Little one!"

Lin Ke called out earnestly, but the aura at the end of the soul bond showed no response, becoming even weaker.

Following the soul bond line, Lin Ke saw a small bird curled up together over there.

"A bird? Could it be... a phoenix?!"

Lin Ke’s heart trembled again, "Little one! Wake up! If you don’t wake up, you’re going to die!"

Lin Ke didn’t opt to help it break the shell because he understood the critical importance of this first challenge for creatures born from eggs.

Only by overcoming the first challenge between life and death can it survive in the future wildlife.

If the instinct to survive can’t even surpass the egg-breaking challenge, the animal might soon perish in the natural world.

It seems simply an act of breaking the shell, yet it encapsulates endless willpower.

Surpass! Breakthrough! Legacy! Survival!

Thus, Lin Ke hoped this little bird could break through on its own, or it’ll face endless hardships in the future!

But why are there layers of chain-like things around the little bird?!

Chains?!

That’s why, even when injecting legendary magic power, it couldn’t satisfy—it turns out there are shackles!

But the moment Lin Ke saw those chains, he suddenly understood their "significance" in his mind.

These chains weren’t man-made; they were naturally formed.

The bird’s species relies on its own strength to break through the shackles during its birth, or it cannot exist in this world!

So...

"Little one! You must survive!"

"Break through this darkness! Outside is light, do you see it? Outside is sunlight!"

"You are a phoenix! A phoenix is always unyielding and proud!"

"You will be reborn in flames! Not perish in darkness!"

"Little one! Wake up!"

...

Lin Ke urgently called out to the curled-up little bird in front of him, growing more anxious inside.

If the little bird’s life signs earlier were like a flame,

now they resembled the faint sparks in a firewood pile just extinguished amid the heavy snow of winter.

Even those shackles were tightening, seemingly ready to strangle this little bird.

"Little one, wake up!"

Lin Ke was genuinely anxious.

Since crossing over, he had always been calm, not caring about others except Fulon, Ove, John, and Billy.

But now, the master-servant contract brought him a sense of warmth, reminding him of the pets he raised in his previous life.

Pets are merely passersby in a human’s life, but humans are the entirety of a pet’s life.

He didn’t want to witness a life that could have been born into the world with a close bond with him perish like this.

Undoubtedly, anyone witnessing the birth of life will have a sympathetic heart.

"Little one! You are a phoenix! You are a phoenix!"

"A phoenix will never die with its head bowed!"

Lin Ke felt the bird’s fiery red color resembled the legendary phoenix from Huaxia, making him even less willing for it to die.

Perhaps... this is the only thing in this world resembling the previous world.

Lin Ke realized it took him six years to fade away from his past life here.

But now, memories and warmth were once again awakened by the phoenix in front of him.

"Little one! I’m Lin Ke, can we get to know each other?"

Lin Ke was already somewhat flustered; the little phoenix’s life aura was getting weaker.

"Cheep cheep..."

Suddenly, seemingly responding to Lin Ke’s introduction, the little phoenix opened a weak eye from its curled-up soul body, and its bright black eye gazed weakly and curiously at Lin Ke.

There’s a reaction!

Seeing this, Lin Ke got excited, "Little one! Open your eyes! Peck through the eggshell!"

"No! Use your beak! Use your claws! Use your wings... use every possible way!"

"You must break through this barrier! You must smash through these shackles!"

"Outside is the sun! Outside is the world!"

"You must survive! You must continue to live!"

"Surpass yourself..."

"You are a Phoenix!"

...

"Chirp... chirp..."

The Little Phoenix, hearing Lin Ke’s words, actually began to wiggle its frail body.

The master-servant contract also brought with it unobstructed soul communication, without concern for language barriers.

In the darkness, the Little Phoenix stretched out its tender and soft claws, striving to kick its surroundings.

It lifted its head, pressing and pounding feebly, sliding its featherless wings to push at the enveloping darkness. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Yet, in Lin Ke’s perception, its breath still weakened, as if the egg shell around it was too hard, and the shackles were too strong!

"Caw..."

Within the soul, the Little Phoenix let out an unwilling and painful cry, a sound that even Ove and John outside heard from within the egg shell.

"Don’t give up! You’re not allowed to give up!"

Just as the Little Phoenix conveyed a tired thought of wanting to rest, Lin Ke shouted loudly in the Soul Space:

"Your life, your fate, how could it, how could it be obstructed by mere eggshells! You are the Phoenix of Huaxia! The unyielding Phoenix!"

The legends of Huaxia were infused with the unyielding will of the ancestors’ struggle against nature, something Lin Ke had always been proud of and carried forward!

The Phoenix, in Huaxia mythology, is also painted with vibrant colors.

Even Lin Ke himself didn’t know; he just didn’t want to see the Little Phoenix die, perhaps because he didn’t want to see the spirit contained in those Huaxia legends vanish.

You are a Phoenix!

How can you die in surrender!

You must hold your head high as you face death!

You must be reborn through fire!

Lin Ke’s soul in the Soul Space yelled with a loud voice: "Can’t die!"

Suddenly, from the unknown depths of Lin Ke’s soul, a strange and brilliant light trembled gently.

A pinpoint of light shot out from it like a bullet, piercing through the surface’s three bloodlines, breaking through the Soul Space, and surged along the soul bond line backward, instantly entering the Little Phoenix’s brow.

However, Lin Ke didn’t see it.

But, the Little Phoenix before him suddenly let out a sharp and piercing cry, an unyielding, defiant intention emerged.

It heard Lin Ke’s words!

No matter the cost, even consuming all life, it could not give up!

"Caw!!!!!!!"

The Little Phoenix’s body began to struggle again as if trapped in a bog.

Claws weak, wings unborn, beak without edge... then use bones!

The shackles scraped its soul and flesh, ever tightening.

As the Little Phoenix struggled and the shackles deformed, in the outside world, crack after crack spread from the small opening that had begun.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

In the outside world, the little bird inside the egg relentlessly struck the shell, making the entire egg shake, and the golden patterns on the eggshell began to move faster.

Suddenly...

"Crack!!" A crisp sound!

Like a chain reaction, pieces of eggshell fell off, still stained with fresh blood.

"Crack!" "Crack!"...

"It broke open!"

Beside him, a previously tense John exclaimed.

Ove also breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to begin crafting a new magic circle.

A simple life-healing magic circle.

Lin Ke, seeing the shackles break and feeling the increasingly strong soul and life aura of the Little Phoenix, also let out a long breath.

He put his heart back in his chest and exited the Soul Space.

Opened his eyes.

A pair of shiny black little eyes met his gaze.

The Little "Phoenix" in front of him was featherless, its whole body supported by already broken wings on the half-cracked eggshell, covered in blood.

Having consumed a massive, even legendary, amount of Magic Power and gone through life and death, Little "Phoenix" finally hatched successfully.

"Gaga?"

Little "Phoenix" tilted its little head, observing Lin Ke with one small eye.

"Little guy, you did great. It seems nothing can stop you in the future, I mean... no challenge can stop you."

Lin Ke didn’t find Little "Phoenix" dirty or frightening with its blood-soaked appearance, only felt warmth and affection.

He gently patted Little "Phoenix’s" head.

"Your name shall be Luck."

So lucky!

Lin Ke knew, Little "Phoenix" had almost died!

Perhaps his "Luck" bloodline shared a bit of luck with it?

However...

"Little Lin Ke, place this little parrot into the healing magic circle, let’s avoid any lasting complications."

Beside him, Ove finished drawing a simple life healing magic circle and placed some plants rich in life characteristics at a few nodes of the magic circle.

"Hmm, okay."

No time to waste, lest it dies from blood loss instead of being suffocated by the eggshell or choked by the shackles.

Only...

"Eh??? Little parrot?"
