Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower

Hearing Xiao Yu's sophistry, Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "What, according to your logic, you're actually doing this for my own good?"

Xiao Yu quickly nodded and said, "Of course, alright, alright, aren't you and Wu Hao going to the arena? We'll be going now!" After saying that, he pulled Xun'er away from there, Hu Jia glared at him before following after him.

Watching Xiao Yan Xiao Yu run off with Xun'er and Hu Jia, Xiao Yan sighed softly, "Why did I end up with such a brother? Such a troublesome thing..."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan glanced at Wu Hao beside him. This guy had been in the Law Enforcement Team for so many years; he must be quite adept at this kind of thing. Noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, Wu Hao said somewhat helplessly, "Although I've been in the Law Enforcement Team for so many years, I've never controlled a force before. However, I can agree to be your deputy!"

Xiao Yan let out a soft breath and said, "Forget it, let's go to the arena first, and discuss it properly tomorrow!" After saying that, he and Wu Hao walked towards the arena together.

Xiao Yu, Xun'er, and Hu Jia strolled slowly through the Inner Academy, enjoying the surrounding environment and scenery. The old man's words were quite true; they often saw intense battles where players were sparring, with many onlookers outside. It seemed that such a fierce atmosphere was quite normal in the Inner Academy!

The further north they went, the more Xiao Yu and his companions could see that there were no other people sparring here anymore, and more and more people were dashing away through the trees on both sides.

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "The Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, the most famous Inner Academy, should be just ahead. Let's go take a look!"

Xun'er and Hu Jia both nodded. The three of them spread out their bodies, lightly leaped, touched the big tree next to them, and quickly flew north.

Before long, Xiao Yu, Xun'er, and Hu Jia stood atop a giant tree, looking down at the land below. What came into view was a sunken terrain, and in the heart of that sunken land, an extremely large black tower was buried deep underground, with only a section of its spire and a pitch-black entrance visible.

It was indeed the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower buried deep underground. Its strange shape would have been a spectacular sight in my previous life.

The two Heavenly Flames within Xiao Yu's body trembled slightly. With his keen soul perception and the faint connection between the Heavenly Flames, he could sense the intense heat and rich energy within the tower!

After exchanging a glance, Xiao Yu and Xun'er were about to walk forward when the long queue stopped some distance away from the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

Just as Xiao Yu was feeling a bit confused, a series of whooshing sounds came from above, and then dozens of figures flashed over from a distance, landing with great agility in front of the dark mass of people, their attitude extremely arrogant.

The others still in line were extremely annoyed with these people, but when they saw the leaf-shaped badge on their chests, they swallowed their words in resentment.

"Judging from their strength, these people are quite powerful within the Inner Academy, at least stronger than that Green Mountain guy," Xiao Yu said with a light laugh.

Xun'er smiled slightly and said, "Once our power is established in the future, we may not be inferior to them!"

Hu Jia chimed in, "That's right! With your freakish strength, I think you'll be on the Inner Academy's top Strong Ranking soon!"

Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak, a bell rang out, and as the bell faded, an aged voice came from inside the tower. "Open the tower!"

The dark tower door slowly opened, and a faint, intense heat emanated from within, causing the surrounding temperature to rise slightly.

"Enter the tower!"

Everyone shot towards the black tower, and Xiao Yu, holding Xun'er's hand, also headed towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

"By the way, Hu Jia, I must remind you, there's a strange flame at the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, you should be careful." Xiao Yu said to Hu Jia with a light smile.

Hu Jia, however, assumed Xiao Yu was mocking her for being weak, so she glared at him fiercely before heading straight into the tower, leaving a somewhat bewildered Xiao Yu Xiao Yu standing there in a daze. Xun'er then laughed and said, "Brother Xiao Yu, are you indirectly saying that Hu Jia is weak?"

Coming to his senses, Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "How could that be? I was just kindly reminding her that there's a magical Heart Flame in the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower that's extremely helpful for cultivation, but if you're not careful, it can be quite painful!"

Xun'er frowned slightly, then pulled Xiao Yu and walked towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

As soon as Xiao Yu stepped into the black tower, he saw Hu Jia standing there, her face flushed and veins bulging on her forehead, as if she were in great pain. At the same time, Xiao Yu also felt the strange, invisible flame within his body. Xun'er's eyes shone with an eerie golden light, presumably she had also felt the attack of that Heart Flame!

Some of the older students around, seeing the state of Xiao Yu and his two companions, couldn't help but gloat, saying, "These three must be freshmen who just entered the Inner Academy. They're completely unprepared for their first time here!"

"I must say, these two girls are really pretty, but we should go and inform the elders inside the tower first. If we delay any longer, they might turn into charred remains!"

A murmur of discussion arose around him as Xiao Yu's Dou Qi surged violently. His overwhelming aura instilled fear in the surrounding senior students, who exclaimed in horror, "Dou Ling expert?"

They hadn't expected this guy to be a Dou Ling expert. Was this the strength of a newcomer? If he were a veteran, how could he make such a mistake? Everyone was extremely puzzled!

Xiao Yu circulated his Dou Qi, which flowed through his meridians and into the Heart Flame Dou Qi within his body. The effect of the Fallen Heart Flame was truly remarkable. With the help of the Heart Flame, Xiao Yu's Dou Qi steadily solidified. However, the Dou Qi within his body was simply too overwhelming, and the third Dou Qi that passed through the Heart Flame Heart Flame completely diluted it.

Just a few minutes later, Xiao Yu opened his eyes again, a blue and a white light flashing in his eyes. At this moment, an old man dressed in simple clothes slowly walked in. His smiling gaze first swept over Hu Jia, who was still struggling, then over Xun'er, who had her eyes closed but her face was Xun'er, and finally over Xiao Yu, who had just opened his eyes.

"You... you extinguished that Heart Flame?" the old man asked Xiao Yu with some surprise.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, is there a problem?"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "No problem. But you're quite something, young man. You're the first person in all these years to have managed to get rid of the burning Heart Flame on your own!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xun'er, who was standing next to Xiao Yu, opened her eyes. A strange golden light flashed, and her expression returned to calm. Clearly, she had also gotten rid of the scorching heat of the Heart Flame!
