"Look, look! A phoenix! That's really a phoenix!"
"I can't believe I'm... I'm actually seeing a phoenix!"
"Legend tells of a phoenix crying out on Mount Qi. I imagine this is what that miraculous sight must have looked like."
The soldiers and students who witnessed the spectacle looked on in astonishment. Many people on the street saw it too and were equally shocked, standing there agape as if they had turned into statues.
The Phoenix, also known as the Mighty Phoenix, is the king of birds in ancient legends. The male is called the 'Feng' and the female is the 'Huang', but they are collectively known as the Phoenix, or alternately as the Red Bird or the Firebird. They are often seen as a symbol of good fortune. In the Dragon Country, everyone knew of the Phoenix, but to see one with their own eyes was simply unbelievable.
Ye Tianshi was the calmest among the onlookers, but even his pupils couldn't help but dilate.
