What Kind of Flame?

Han Feng's eyes suddenly turned extremely sinister as he looked at the black mist beside him and said, "Your Soul Hall prides yourself on being the number one power on the continent, claiming there's no soul you can't capture. But that old fellow Yao Chen's soul has been gone for so many years, and you still haven't caught it. Is this the capability of your Soul Clan?"

"Our cooperation is a two-way street. You get the soul, and I get what I want. There's no point in arguing about these things now. All I want to know is, where exactly is that old bastard Yao Chen's soul?" Han Feng stared coldly at the black mist.

The black mist chuckled, "Don't be angry, Han Feng, your chance has come. I was also sent to the Black Corner Region by the Palace Master to help you this time."

"We've investigated some information about Yao Chen Yao Chen, and now we suspect he's hiding within the Jia Nan Academy. The information you received about the Heavenly Flames is also true; there's a Fallen Heart Flame within the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy!"

The words coming from within the black mist made Han Feng's expression change drastically. He stared intently at the black mist, his expression extremely excited, and asked, "Is what you're saying true? Is that Heavenly Flames in the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy really the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking?"

The black mist continued, "Don't worry, our Soul Hall's information is absolutely reliable. The key point now is that the Fallen Heart Flame within has developed sentience and is extremely rebellious against the Inner Academy. The outbreak may be imminent!"

"Outbreak? Hahaha, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for! Although it's only one rank higher than my Sea Heart Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame is the best flame to cultivate. Even the Tortoise Spirit Earth Flame and the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame, which rank ahead of it, cannot compare!" Han Feng said excitedly.

Even the Bone Spirit Cold Flame that his teacher Yao Chen once possessed was inferior to that of Fallen Heart!

A voice continued from within the black mist, "The rampaging Fallen Heart Flame will cause Jia Nan Academy a great deal of trouble. That will be the best time for you to attack Jia Nan Academy, and my Soul Hall will also be there to help you!"

Han Feng chuckled coldly, "Looks like you value that old guy's soul quite a bit!"

"You don't need to worry about that. The outbreak of the Fallen Heart Flame will probably happen within the next two months!" the black mist said again, and then gradually dissipated.

Han Feng's gaze was fixed on the distant direction of the Jia Nan Academy, a chilling smile playing on his lips, "Teacher, why wouldn't you pass on the Flame Mantra to me back then? If you were truly at the Jia Nan Academy, this time, you probably wouldn't be able to escape!"

Jia Nan Academy, within its Inner Academy.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, his whole body enveloped in Dou Qi, and he shuddered violently. An invisible flame flashed in his eyes.

Knock knock knock!

The knocking on the door made Xiao Yan immediately stop his cultivation. He got up and opened the door, and seeing Xiao Yu standing outside, he smiled and said, "What brings you here?"

Xiao Yu walked straight into Xiao Yan's room, sat down, and looked at Xiao Yan, saying, "I've come to give you a treat!"

"Benefits? What benefits?" Xiao Yan asked Xiao Yu, looking quite puzzled.

"Fallen Heart Flame!" Xiao Yu didn't beat around the bush and directly mentioned the Fallen Heart Flame.

Xiao Yan's heart tightened, and he looked at Xiao Yu, asking in a deep voice, "You mean, the flame beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That's right. You still have Child Flame of the Fallen Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame, so you must be even more sensitive to its aura. The Fallen Heart Flame under the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower has reached a point where it can no longer be suppressed!"

"It will riot?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Isn't this an opportunity? You need the Heavenly Flames, and the academy's Heavenly Flames can no longer be suppressed. If you absorb it, you'll be a benefactor to the Inner Academy!"

"But I haven't refined my Earth Spirit Pill yet, and we can't control the timing of the Fallen Heart Flame's outburst! Besides, the Inner Academy won't just stand by and watch me absorb the Heavenly Flames!" Xiao Yan said, frowning.

At this moment, Yao Lao also floated out from the ring, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I think you came here not just to say that the Fallen Heart Flame will erupt prematurely!"

When Xiao Yan saw that Yao Lao had come out, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Teacher, why have you come out?"

The Yao Lao chuckled and said, "Absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame is a major event. If you absorb it, it will be the first Heavenly Flames you absorb, which is of great significance!"

Xiao Yu looked at Yao Lao and smiled, "As expected of Yao Lao, I came here this time not just because of the premature outbreak of the Fallen Heart Flame."

"The Fallen Heart Flame in the Inner Academy has already developed sentience, but after my investigation, I found two Heavenly Flames beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower in the Inner Academy. One has developed sentience, while the other is still in its formative stage!"

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao stared at Xiao Yu in shock and exclaimed, "Two Heavenly Flames?"

"How is this possible?" The Yao Lao was also dumbfounded. He had not expected that there were not only two Heavenly Flames in the Inner Academy!

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "The Inner Academy has decided to make the Fallen Heart Flame, which has developed sentience, erupt ahead of schedule. Then, under my control, you will absorb the Fallen Heart Flame!"

"You control it?" Xiao Yan asked Xiao Yu, looking at him with great confusion.

Xiao Yu said, "My flames have a natural suppressive effect on the Fallen Heart Flame, so can I either make the Fallen Heart Flame erupt prematurely or continue to suppress it?"

The Yao Lao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xiao Yu, asking, "Could it be that the Inner Academy has decided to abandon this sentient Heavenly Flames and choose that newly born Heavenly Flames instead?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and said, "If we can control the timeline to within a month and a half, we can refine the Earth Spirit Pill to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame!"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "We still have one last medicinal herb left, a sixth-tier water-type Magic Core. I'm going to go to the Inner Academy's Medicine Stockpile to look for it!"

Xiao Yan's words were tinged with excitement. He was about to absorb his first Heavenly Flames, and the Flame Mantra would undergo its first upgrade. How could he not be excited?

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the Strong Ranking Competition starts in a month. The Inner Academy will do its best to help the Fallen Heart Flame get through this period. By the time the Strong Ranking Competition ends, it should be about a month and a half, so you can rest assured about that!"

Xiao Yan patted Xiao Yu's shoulder excitedly and laughed, "Brother Yu, you've really helped me a lot this time!"

The Yao Lao then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "The Fallen Heart Flame is ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. The Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame are ranked similarly to it. Why would they be afraid of you?"

After being reminded by Yao Lao, Xiao Yan realized what was happening and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu opened his palm, and a jet of dark golden flame suddenly shot out, its shape and color completely different from the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame!

"What... what kind of fire is this?" Xiao Yan asked Xiao Yu, somewhat astonished.

The Yao Lao examined the flames, then shook his head after a long while and said, "I've never seen this flame before either. The shapes and colors of the Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking are all quite different!"

Finally Yao Lao said, "There are countless kinds of flames in this world. It is too one-sided to identify Heavenly Flames solely based on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This flame may be another kind of Heavenly Flames!"
