Huo Wu's Heart Aflame, Invited to Blazing Fire? Dismissed with a Glance! 70,000 Years, Fourth Ring! (Seeking Reads!)

A deep, black spirit ring slowly emerged from the corpse.

The lead teacher of Blazing Fire Academy, having narrowly escaped death, slumped onto the ground, staring at this incredible scene in a daze.

His voice trembled:

"One... one strike to kill?!

How is this possible..."

Huang Yan landed lightly beside the spirit beast's corpse, not even sparing them a glance.

Only then did the Spirit Saint teacher snap out of his stupor. He struggled to his feet, enduring intense pain, and cupped his hands in a respectful salute:

"Th... thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!

We are teachers and students of Blazing Fire Academy; we will never forget this debt of gratitude!"

Huang Yan turned his head slightly, interrupting him with an indifferent tone:

"Save you?

Don't misunderstand."

"I was merely waiting for it to exhaust its strength and reveal a flaw.

Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me.

Get lost, and stop being an eyesore."

In the Blazing Fire Academy group, a pair of red-haired siblings were leaning on each other, gasping for breath.

They were Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.

Hearing Huang Yan's blunt, even slightly contemptuous words, Huo Wu's delicate brows furrowed, and she felt somewhat displeased.

From childhood to the present, she had never been ignored like this.

Especially in recent years, having been put on a pedestal by Feng Xiaotian, she had become extremely proud.

Yet, looking at that tall, straight back before her, and recalling that earth-shattering strike that had instantly killed a seventy-thousand-year spirit beast, Huo Wu's heart began to beat uncontrollably fast.

That moment of dominance and absolute strength had been deeply branded into her mind, making her heart flutter.

Huo Wu took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in her heart, and gathered the courage to step forward:

"Regardless of your intent, you ultimately saved the lives of our Blazing Fire Academy.

My name is Huo Wu, and this is my brother, Huo Wushuang.

The depths of the Star Dou Great Forest are fraught with danger; the commotion just now might attract other spirit beasts.

Why don't... you join us, and we can all leave the Star Dou Great Forest together?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yan's eyes turned slightly cold.

He turned his head, glanced at Huo Wu's pretty face, which held a hint of expectation, and then shook his head with a laugh:

"Join you?

I went through all this trouble to kill it, and I haven't even absorbed this seventy-thousand-year spirit ring yet. Why would I go with you?"

Huang Yan waved his hand casually, as if shooing away a few flies:

"While I'm still in a decent mood, take your people and leave immediately. Don't stay here and get in my way."

With that, Huang Yan turned around, preparing to walk toward the massive Blazing Sun Fire Phoenix corpse.

Rejected so bluntly, Huo Wu bit her red lip, yet she remained unwilling to give up.

She grew bold and called out loudly to Huang Yan's back:

"Then... can you at least tell me your name? And your martial soul?

The Blazing Sun Fire Phoenix has an extremely strong immunity to fire attributes.

That flame of yours just now was actually able to instantly pierce its heart...

That is definitely not an ordinary flame. What kind of martial soul is it?!"

Huo Wushuang saw Huang Yan turn around and finally caught a clear look at his face.

Although his temperament was cold and sharp, he looked very young, seemingly about the same age as the two siblings.

Huo Wushuang's heart stirred, and he quickly stepped forward, speaking sincerely:

"Brother, judging by your age, you should be about the same as us.

Since you possess such a powerful fire-attribute martial soul, why not join our Blazing Fire Academy!

With your talent and strength, if you come to Blazing Fire Academy, the academy will surely exhaust all its resources to cultivate you. Your future would be absolutely limitless..."

"Shut up."

Huang Yan's brows furrowed tightly, a flicker of obvious impatience flashing in his eyes.

Huang Yan turned his head abruptly, his tone already carrying a trace of irritable coldness:

"What is the Blazing Fire Academy, anyway?

Do they think they are worthy of having me join them?

I do not wish to say this a third time.

Before I lose my temper, take your people and get out of my sight immediately!"

As he spoke, Huang Yan waved his hand irritably, as if shooing away a few noisy flies.

"You..."

Huo Wu gritted her teeth, wanting to say something more, but she was grabbed firmly by the team instructor standing beside her.

"Huo Wu, Wushuang, that's enough!"

The instructor lowered his voice, scolding them while covered in cold sweat:

"This sir's strength is unfathomable and his temper is eccentric; do not provoke him any further. We must leave at once!"

The instructor turned his head and bowed respectfully to Huang Yan once more:

"Please calm your anger, sir. We are leaving now!"

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu exchanged a glance, filled with helplessness and unwillingness, but they knew this was not the time to linger.

Under the instructor's urging, they helped each other up and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Only after confirming that the people from the Blazing Fire Academy were completely gone did Huang Yan retract his gaze, his vast mental power spreading out like a tide.

After carefully scanning the area to ensure there were no high-level spirit beasts or spirit masters that could threaten him, Huang Yan walked over to the massive corpse of the Blazing Sun Fire Phoenix and sat down cross-legged.

He took a deep breath and summoned the Bright Phoenix to possess him.

He raised his right hand, guiding the spirit ring.

As the spirit ring slowly descended onto his body, Huang Yan closed his eyes and officially began the absorption process.

The violent energy of the black spirit ring surged into Huang Yan's body like a bursting dam.

"Skree--!"

A cry filled with malice exploded within Huang Yan's Spirit Sea.

The remnant soul of the Blazing Sun Fire Phoenix carried a terrifying Soul Shock, lunging madly toward Huang Yan's spiritual core.

"A mere remnant soul dares to act so insolently?"

Huang Yan let out a cold snort, and golden light erupted within his Spirit Sea.

A phantom of the Bright Phoenix, incomparably noble and radiating a sacred aura, suddenly spread its wings above the Spirit Sea!

That was the pressure of the supreme divine beast phoenix bloodline!

The remnant soul of the Blazing Sun Fire Phoenix, which had been so arrogant just moments before, froze in its tracks the instant it saw the Bright Phoenix, its malicious eyes instantly filled with extreme terror.

"This... this is a superior bloodline?!

The Bright Phoenix?!"

The remnant soul of the Blazing Sun Fire Phoenix trembled in fear, unable to even conceive of resisting, and turned to flee.

"Trying to run now?

Too late.

Be extinguished!"

With a thought from Huang Yan, the Bright Phoenix phantom let out a clear cry.

A surge of pure light fire instantly burned the terrified remnant soul into nothingness.

The most dangerous Soul Shock had been resolved with such ease.

But immediately following it was an extremely rigorous test of his physique.

The energy contained within a seventy-thousand-year spirit ring was simply too vast.

Even without the will of the remnant soul, that pure, violent fire-attribute energy still caused Huang Yan's meridians to bulge visibly.

His bones emitted cracking sounds under the unbearable strain.

"Ugh..."

Huang Yan let out a muffled groan, his skin turning crimson. Large beads of sweat rolled off him, only to be instantly evaporated by the high temperature radiating from his body.

"As expected of seventy-thousand-year-level energy, it is indeed rather troublesome."

Huang Yan gritted his teeth, circulating his soul power frantically to forcibly suppress and guide this surge of energy:

"However, if you think you can burst me, you are still far off!

Condense for me!"
