Fang Mu was never the type to settle for less.
If Hu Tao's Iron-winged Sparrow lacked enough potential, even due to his relationship with Hu Tao, Fang Mu would guide and train Hu Tao but would never forcibly bring Hu Tao into his own team.
The thin Luan Bird bloodline within the Iron-winged Sparrow, once stimulated, could continue evolving just like Fang Qin's Iron Trident Carp.
The Luan Bird is a branch of the Phoenix Type Beast, just as the Jiao Dragon Species are to the Main Dragon Species.
Fang Mu was confident that, after the Iron-winged Sparrow's bloodline advanced to a Luan Bird, it could once again transform toward the bloodline of the Phoenix Type Beast.
A Guardian Beast possessing two bloodlines, in most cases, results in one bloodline devouring the other.
Rarely do fusion scenarios occur.
To fuse different bloodlines, a prerequisite must be met.
That is, the two bloodlines must not be significantly different in rank.
