Lloyd saw new data about phoenix state was added and he came to know that he was regarded as a middle rank 2 beast in his phoenix form.

Lloyd collected his thoughts and changed back to his human form.

“Lloyd, you surprised me. That was the fasted binding of blood that I have seen” Eira said as she looked at Lloyd in surprise.

“thanking you for true phoenix art” Lloyd thanked Eira.

“don’t mention it,” Eira said.

“so Eira, it’s getting late. I will be going back” Lloyd said as he left the cave.

Lloyd reached back to ice phoenix clan without any problem. His control over bloodline abilities increased after he used true phoenix art.

Next day.

In the ice phoenix clan, It was even more intense than yesterday. Unlike yesterday, today was the matches of the top 10.

Matching are scheduled to be held before noon. Currently, Lloyd was having breakfast with his family.

Alder, Esvele, Derek, and Leland are present. Derek and Leland were busy discussing their plan and deciding who among them should be the winner of the tournament.

Lloyd was eating as he turned toward Alder and asked, “father, can I ask you something?”

Hearing Lloyd, Alder looked towards Lloyd in a calm manner but inside he was panicking.

‘did he find out?’ Alder thought and he did the best to appear calm.

Alder didn’t mention about the bet because of his own reason. He knows that Lloyd is the strongest among his sons but for some unknown reasons as Lloyd started to cultivate, he became independent and started keeping secrets.

Derek and Leland are different. They will share everything with him. Whenever their cultivation increases, they will come running like small kids to gain his approval.

Alder respected Lloyd privacy and didn’t ask anything nor secretly try to find it.

Alder looked at Lloyd and then turned towards Derek and Leland who was laughing and thought, ‘maybe they are too much dependent on me’

Alder sighed and turned to Lloyd and asked, “what is it?”

Alder was secretly praying that Lloyd didn’t find out about the bet. Lloyd may even give up on the match to escape of the bet.

As Alder looked at his son, he felt that the aura released from Lloyd changed and increased.

‘what going on?’ Alder thought as he looked at Lloyd carefully.

‘Ohh! he broke through to earth 5th stage. I can’t wait to see Rodney’s face when I win the bet’ as Alder thought about it, his face lit up and started laughing.

“Haa Haa Haa”

Everyone was startled by the sudden laughing of Alder.

‘why father looking at me and laughing?’ Lloyd thought as he felt weird as something was going to happen to him and a chill ran through him.

“dear, what’s wrong?” Esvele asked Alder.

Alder stopped laughing and said, “nothing, just thought of something”

While Alder and Esvele were talking, Lloyd was trying to calm down from the chill he felt.

‘I must be imaging things’ Lloyd said to himself.

After answering Esvele, Alder turned to Lloyd and said, “Lloyd, you are asking about something. what is it?”

Lloyd snapped out of his thought and said, “yes…yes, I just want to know about fire phoenix”

Alder sighed and relieved when he heard asked about fire phoenix and not about his bet.

“I only know about few stories about fire phoenix passed down from generation to generation,” Alder said while thinking.

“can you tell me?” Lloyd asked curiously.

‘this could be a major clue about fire phoenix’s location’ Lloyd thought.

“okay,” Alder said.

Hearing their father will be telling about fire phoenix, Derek and Leland stopped their discussion and peeked their ears in interest.
