Powerful Aura Fluctuation in the Free and Unfettered World

The battle between Xiao Yan and Liu Qing was incredibly exciting, drawing gasps and cheers from the onlookers.

The two fought back and forth. Since Xiao Yan's cultivation level was much higher than in the Original Work, the scene of him using the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, a low-level Dou Technique, shocked most people.

With this move, Liu Qing was directly defeated by Xiao Yan. Of course, Xiao Yan did not fall into a coma this time, but he also suffered considerable damage and was almost exhausted.

The regular competition slowly came to a close amidst the matches and cheers. The Strong Ranking ten ranked players were: Xiao Tian, Zi Yan, Lin Xiuya, Xiao Yan Liu Qing, Han Yue, Yan Hao, Lin Yan, Qian Mo, Qin Zhen.

"I hereby announce that the Strong Ranking Tournament has officially ended. All participants may leave the stage. Your rewards will be distributed by a designated person later."

Xiao Tian and the others left the platform and returned to the high platform they had been on before.

As is customary, there will be several Challenge Match, some to prove one's strength, and others because people are unwilling to accept defeat and want to challenge for a higher ranking.

As the Challenge Match came to an end, Xun'er did not participate in any of them this time, knowing that Xiao Tian had already seen through her Challenge Match level.

There's no need for this challenge to prove herself, and Xun'er doesn't like that kind of scenario either.

"Xun'er, you take the people from Pan Gate back. Senior Han Yue, I have some things to attend to. If you have time, you can also visit the Pan Men Residence."

Xun'er nodded, knowing what Xiao Tian was going to do; Xiao Tian had already told her beforehand.

Han Yue nodded obediently and walked outside with Xun'er.

Watching them leave, Xiao Tian went directly to the Grand Elder's pavilion and met with the Grand Elder.

After meeting the Grand Elder, Xiao Tian avoided the trivial matters and asked, "Grand Elder, can this opportunity to Original Heart Flame Body Tempering be given to someone else?"

"Hmm?" The Grand Elder was taken aback by Xiao Tian's words. He thought Xiao Tian was going to talk about the sealing of the Fallen Heart Flame, but he didn't expect this. "There's no explicit rule about this, but it's very tempting for many people, so they generally wouldn't ask such a question."

"What, are you transferring it to someone else? But let me make it clear beforehand, it can only be given to people in the Inner Academy."

Su Qian was very curious about who Xiao Tian was going to give the spot to, and asked with a smile.

"Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Tian had already decided who to give the spot to. Among the people he knew in the Inner Academy, Xun'er didn't need it, Han Yue Xiao Yan already had their own spots, and Xiao Yu, Hu Jia, and Wu Hao were the closest to him.

"That's fine, I can agree to that."

Su Qian gleaned a lot of information from the name Xiao Tian gave her. At first, she thought Xiao Tian was after Xiao Xun'er, and that she knew her background. Now, from Xiao Tian's words, she realized that he also knew Xiao Tian Xiao Xun'er's identity.

This suggests that Xiao Tian, and even the Free and Unfettered Hall behind him, are not as simple as they appear.

Seeing Su Qian's expression, Xiao Tian knew what the old fox was thinking. To avoid further questions, he said, "Grand Elder, according to the latest intelligence from my Free and Unfettered Hall..."

"Recently, Han Feng has been using his past connections and influence to approach and gather many powerful figures on the Black Ranking."

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Su Qian frowned slightly. "It seems that Young Friend Xiao Tian's guess was correct. The Academy has also made preparations in various aspects, but the rest depends on your side. I wonder if you..."

Xiao Tian laughed heartily, "Grand Elder, rest assured, we've already made preparations and can arrive at any time. The only remaining issue is determining the timing for lifting the seal. Have you made your decision?"

"The hospital has already decided on the time; it will be right after the Heart Flame Body Tempering. The longer it drags on, the more likely things will change on Han Feng's side. There are still quite a few powerful individuals in the Black-Corner Region."

Su Qian was well aware that there were still many Dou Zong in the Black-Corner Region. If Han Feng was given enough time, and was tempted by his interests, then the Academy would only have him as a Dou Zong who could be dealt with. The other two Secluded Cultivation all year round and could not be relied upon.

"Alright, we'll ensure the Inner Academy remains safe..." Xiao Tian gave Su Qian a meaningful look, then waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't worry, the Academy will keep its promise to you."

"Then I'll take my leave. Haha." After receiving a satisfactory reply, Xiao Tian didn't linger and left the pavilion directly.

As Xiao Tian stepped out the door, he kept pondering this operation. He knew that with himself as a variable, there might be Butterfly Effect.

The Soul Hall also needs to take protective measures. Of course, only those at the Protector level will come. As for the Venerable Elder, they won't appear here at all. The Soul Hall has always been arrogant. Venerable Elder won't make a big fuss about a single Heavenly Flames.

Xiao Tian didn't choose to walk back to his pavilion, but instead flew back. Right now, he was the most popular and sought-after person in the entire Inner Academy, and there were even quite a few people who wanted to secretly devour him.

What if a guy comes along and says "You smell so good"?

In the blink of an eye, four days have passed, and the entire Inner Academy is still buzzing with discussions about the exciting moments of the Strong Ranking Tournament.

At the same time, many people who admired the reputation of Pan Gate wanted to join, while some others took advantage of the situation to try to smear and suppress Pan Gate.

Finally, in a secret conflict, Xun'er had no choice but to unleash her powerful strength, directly overwhelming a group of people with her aura. In an instant, information that Xun'er was suspected to have the strength of Dou Wang spread.

Many people thought Xun'er was just a quiet and beautiful vase, but they didn't expect that this vase was also a Dark Horse that didn't show its strength.

If she were to participate in the Strong Ranking Tournament, she would undoubtedly be among the top three, causing many people to shudder.

The public opinion surrounding Xun'er and Xiao Tian suddenly shifted to that of a match made in heaven, with terrifying talent.

During these four days, Xiao Tian spent all his free time with Xun'er, in addition to cultivating. He noticed Xun'er's unusual behavior and knew that Xun'er was preparing to return to the Gu Clan, so he didn't intend to stop her.

Only in the Gu Clan can Xun'er receive the best upbringing and access to the most suitable resources.

As for whether she will be bullied, don't be ridiculous. It's only because Xun'er has a good personality. If it were anyone else, given Xun'er's status, she would have been Demon King long ago.

The person with the purest bloodline in this generation is the daughter of the current clan leader; who could possibly wrong her?

Just as Xiao Tian was accompanying Xun'er for a walk in the Inner Academy, he suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of energy within his Free and Unfettered World.

Sensing Xiao Tian's pause, Xun'er looked at him in confusion. "Xiao Tian Gege, what's wrong?"

Xiao Tian didn't have time to answer Xun'er's question. He directly took her to the spot and entered the Free and Unfettered World.

As soon as he entered, he felt a powerful energy fluctuation rushing towards him. Xiao Tian hurriedly tried to defend himself, but he was still forced back several steps.
