Weathering the tribulation

The Green Lotus Core Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame immediately recognized Xiao Nian as their master upon entering his body. Subsequently, Xiao Nian's aura surged from Dou Zhe to the Peak Da Dou Shi, just one step away from entering the Dou Ling realm. Although his cultivation stopped increasing rapidly, Xiao Yu could still feel the immense power left by the two Heavenly Flames within Xiao Nian's body.

However, Xiao Nian is still too young and doesn't know how to cultivate. If he starts cultivating in the future, he will surely make great progress. If he absorbs all the remaining power of these two Heavenly Flames, entering the Dou Wang realm will be extremely easy!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel envious. This little guy could easily reach the Dou Wang, while he himself was still hovering around the Dou Ling realm. The comparison was truly infuriating!

Xiao Yu quickly composed himself. After all, having the Chaos Flame as a great help was quite good, considering it was the Sovereign Wan Huo!

Then, with a flick of his hand, a dark golden flame suddenly appeared in Xiao Yu Xiao Yu's palm. Its warm aura and docile appearance made it hard to believe that this was the Chaos Flame, let alone the Chaos Flame hidden beneath its calm exterior!

Sensing a connection with the Chaos Flame, a smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face. He could feel the joy and excitement emanating from the Chaos Flame, which made Xiao Yu even more certain that the Chaos Flame had already developed sentience, that is, Fire Spirit.

Xiao Yu knew that in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, most of the Heavenly Flames did not have intelligence. The Fallen Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame was one of the Heavenly Flames that had developed intelligence, but its intelligence was not very high. The Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, on the other hand, had extremely high intelligence and even had the ability to transform into human form.

The Chaos Flame cannot do that yet, but it can sense that the Chaos's current intelligence is roughly equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old human child, and it is extremely affectionate towards its master, Xiao Yu.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu withdrew the Chaos Flame. With the Green Lotus Core Flame and Bone Spirit Cold Flame gone from his body, he felt quite lonely. However, Xiao Yu quickly withdrew this feeling and took out the Earth Tier High-Grade Dou Technique he had been rewarded with from his Storage Ring, Frostless.

A jade-white scroll, emanating a slight chill, appeared in Xiao Yu's hand. After unrolling the scroll, Xiao Yu memorized the cultivation method of this Dou Technique. However, he had no intention of cultivating it now. After putting the scroll away, he rested. Tomorrow, he would first go to the back mountain to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, and then prepare to cultivate Frostless.

One night passed, and the next day...

The morning sunlight streamed into Xiao Yu's room through the window. Now that Xiao Nian could walk, he no longer planned to keep Xiao Nian in the System Space. Before, under Xiao Yu's care, Xiao Nian just ate and slept, which kept Xun'er and the others from seeing him. But now, Xun'er, Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu, and the others adored this little guy Xiao Nian.

Even a tomboy like Hu Jia put away her brashness in front of Xiao Nian, revealing a gentle and feminine charm, which made Xiao Yu laugh for a while. Then there was Wu Hao, who was usually very indifferent, but when he looked at Xiao Nian Xiao Nian, it was clear that he liked her.

After Xun'er and the others sat down in the living room, A Tai also came in from outside. However, Xiao Yu noticed that A Tai's expression seemed a little off, and even Xiao Yan and the others noticed that A Tai was not right.

Hu Jia couldn't help but ask, "A Tai, what's wrong with you?"

A Tai glanced at Hu Jia somewhat awkwardly, then stammered, "Seniors, I'm... I'm sorry!"

Xun'er looked at A Tai and said, "Tell us what happened first, and we'll help you analyze it."

A Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Today I planned to bring the freshmen who came to the Inner Academy with us here to discuss establishing a new faction, but this morning I discovered that many freshmen have already joined other factions within the Inner Academy."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu and the others frowned slightly, but Xiao Yu quickly recovered and said, "It's alright, they have their own choices. We can't expect them all to come to our territory, can we? But you said most of them, how many are still willing to come?"

Everyone turned their attention to A Tai, A Tai let out a soft sigh and said, "Senior Xiao Yu, there are about twenty freshmen who came with me."

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Twenty more people. It seems quite a few people still trust us!"

Xiao Yu nodded and smiled, "That's right, twenty people plus the six of us, that's twenty-six people, that's enough!"

Hearing their words, A Tai finally felt relieved and asked, "So, seniors, should I let them in?"

Xun'er nodded slightly, A Tai hurriedly ran out. After A Tai left, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It seems the other forces in the Inner Academy acted quite quickly. They must have received some news. However, if they want to come to our Pan Men again later, it will be difficult!"

The others laughed as well. With their strength, the power of the Pan Men would certainly not be small in the future. If they wanted to join the Pan Men then, it wouldn't be as simple as it is now. After all, it's better to help someone in need than to add flowers to brocade!

As they were talking, A Tai led the twenty new students in, most of whom were boys and four girls. After everyone had met, the Pan Men was officially established.

Xiao Yu then suggested, "Now that the Pan Men is officially established, badges and robes are essential. Let Xun'er and I handle this!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. After settling things here, Xiao Yu told Xun'er and then dashed off alone into the vast forest behind the mountain.

After flying through the forest behind the mountain for an hour, Xiao Yu's feet landed on the top of a giant tree.

The vastness of the mountains and forests outside the Inner Academy surpasses even the Monster Mountain Range that traverses the entire Jia Ma Empire. Seeing that this place was sparsely populated and extremely far from the Inner Academy, Xiao Yu immediately released the seal on his body.

A vast surge of Dou Qi erupted from Xiao Yu's body, and a thick layer of dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky. Purple lightning snakes darted wildly within the clouds, making it particularly terrifying. Even Xiao Yu's expression turned solemn!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, lightning carrying immense power crashed down, striking Xiao Yu squarely. In an instant, Xiao Yu's clothes turned to ashes, and his fair skin turned pitch black.

This attack was only the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation. Xiao Yu was still conscious at this moment. He stomped his foot on the ground and his figure shot into the sky. His Purple Cloud Wings suddenly stretched out and shook violently. The dark clouds seemed to be enraged and once again brought down a bolt of lightning!

Xiao Yu's tiny figure was struck by the lightning in mid-air and slammed hard into the ground with a loud bang, leaving a huge crater!

"Damn it, go ahead and kill me if you dare!" Xiao Yu cursed as he climbed out of the giant pit.

Just as Xiao Yu was undergoing his tribulation, in a room within the Inner Academy, the Great Elder suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "This aura!"

Immediately, the Great Elder's figure vanished from the room!
