With the strength of Yao Yan, there is no need to stay as a teacher at the Outer Academy. According to the strength, Jia Nan Academy divides the teachers into four levels of heaven, earth, black and yellow. Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling are the mentors of Yellow Tier. Dou Wang is the Xuan level, Dou Emperor is Earth Tier, and the Heaven level corresponds to the Dou Zong strong person. However, most of the time, the Heaven level is just a decoration, because most students will choose to leave Jia Nan Academy and travel after their strength reaches the Dou Wang level.

On the one hand, when one's strength reaches this level, one has officially entered the ranks of the strong.

On the other hand, it is because Heavenly Flame Training Gas Tower's blessing to Dou Wang expert has been greatly weakened. Even the lowest level training room cannot have obvious blessings for a Dou Wang expert. If you want to continue to advance quickly, staying in the Jia Nan Academy is definitely not a smart choice.

Young people, especially young people with extraordinary talents, who do not yearn for a broader world, only a very few people will choose to stay and teach at the Jia Nan Academy.

This is also the reason why there are not many strong people in the Jia Nan Academy.

But even if only a few people stay, the strength accumulated over hundreds of years is enough to make the entire Black-Corner Region look up to them.

At this moment.

Yao Yan was flying towards the Inner Academy with Hu Gan. Rules, which was prohibited from flying within a few hundred miles, obviously could not restrict Hu Gan, the director of the Outer Academy. At the speed of the two of them, they reached the deepest part of the mountain range in about a quarter of an hour.

A barren mountain range comes into view. Looking from a high altitude, it looks like a huge crater smashed by a meteorite. The surrounding raised rock walls still bear traces of burning that have not faded for thousands of years.

At the deepest point here, there is a strange Black Tower. Its main body is buried deep underground, with only a section of the spire and a dark entrance exposed on the ground.

At that intersection, a dark crowd was gathering at the moment. They walked in one after another, and a corresponding number of people walked out of it. It seemed that there was something unique in it that made them unable to bear to waste any time.

Fallen Heart Flame...Yao Yan looked at the Black Tower in front of him, and four words came to his mind. At the same time, the Green Lotus Core Flame in his body also jumped slightly, as if he sensed a familiar aura.

There is a unique connection between Heavenly Flames and Heavenly Flames, and they even have the instinct to devour each other.

However, the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Tower in front of him has completely sealed Fallen Heart Flame, and the aura he feels is also due to the opening of the door. From the slightly twisted space around it, it is enough to see how strong the seal here is, and Yao Yan knows better that the person who left all this behind is Jia Nan Academy, Dean Mang Tianchi.

That Lei Clan Elder who likes to travel far and wide!

"That is the core place of the Inner Academy. If you can really become Inner Academy's teacher, you will have the opportunity to go and have a look in the future... Even if you are Dou Wang, you can gain a lot from it." Hu Gan noticed Yao Yan's gaze and said with a smile.

"Really? That's quite exciting."

Yao Yan heard this and said with great interest, but he was quite calm in his heart. The biggest function of Fallen Heart Flame is to open the bug of automatic cultivation. As for the current derivative, the inner fire mapped by Fallen Heart Flame is probably not going to have much effect on him.

The two chatted and flew directly towards the courtyard not far away.

Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy is not very big, and the number of students it accommodates is only close to a thousand. This number has always been determined by Heavenly Flame Training Gas Tower. After all, it is the foundation of the Jia Nan Academy. Everything is built around it, and most talented students are willing to stay here because of its existence.

No one can refuse the anger towards low-level cultivators who are almost cheating. The speed it can increase in people's cultivation is never just a tiny bit, but is extremely obvious and can even be felt directly.

If this place was not located in Black-Corner Region, and there was Lei Clan Half-Saint, Mang Tianchi, watching behind him, this place might have been poached by some Central Plains forces.

Just then.

A powerful aura suddenly came from the distance, and at the same time, the opponent flashed to the void not far in front of Yao Yan at an extremely fast speed, carrying bursts of air-piercing sounds. His feet stepped flat on the void, and his white hair fluttered in the wind. An invisible wave spread out, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

The powerful pressure belonging to the Dou Zong level made people's hearts sink slightly.

For ordinary people, the strong Dou Zong is definitely a higher existence than Life Level. Even without Dou Qi, the strong vitality still has a strong sense of oppression.

"He is Inner Academy Great Elder Su Qian. If you have anything to do, talk to him... Old guy, be polite, this is a Five Star Dou Wang who is under eighteen years old., and he is also a Fifth-Rank Alchemist. He came to the Jia Nan Academy this time to apply for a job as a teacher. You decide whether you agree or not. I will return to the Outer Academy first."

Hu Gan glanced at the other party angrily, and then directly acted as the shopkeeper. Obviously, it was completely up to Su Qian to decide whether to keep Yao Yan. If the other party did not agree, it would be useless to stay, and Su Qian's strength was enough to suppress any dissatisfaction.

A kid like Five Star Dou Wang obviously can't change the world.

"Speak clearly!" Su Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and said quickly, but what came into view was the departing figure of Hu Gan. In a few flashes, the other party had disappeared before his eyes.

"Yao Yan, I have met the great elder!"

Yao Yan glanced at the other party and bowed politely.

Su Qian looked at the young man in front of him, no, to be precise, he could be called a boy, and felt numb in his heart. The eighteen-year-old Dou Wang was already too much, and he was still a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, the superposition of the two is enough to make people doubt their life. He pondered for a while before asking, "At such an age, you have such Dou Qi cultivation and alchemy attainments. I wonder where you studied? Or which family you are a disciple of?!"

"... Hard to say."

Yao Yan pondered for a while and said slowly.

"If you don't make it clear, I have no reason to keep you!" Su Qian said in a deep voice, with a slightly serious expression. It was impossible for him to keep a Little Monster with unknown origins.

"I wonder if the elder has ever heard of the Yao Clan. This junior was born in this clan, but he got into some trouble later. He must have been expelled from the clan and is temporarily homeless. Because he heard about the Jia Nan Academy when he was a child and passed by here, he wanted to stay here for a while."

Yao Yan thought for a while and revealed some information to him.

Yao Clan?!

Could it be those families that the dean once mentioned?!

Su Qian's heart moved slightly. Although he didn't understand the value of the Yao Clan, he had been with Mang Qianchi before, Lei Clan Half-Saint. However, I have learned some things from the other party, such as the several major families that dominate Dou Qi Continent's countless forces. To those who are not strong enough, they are as if they do not exist. However, the stronger the strength, the more they can feel the size and terror of those families.

Just the word "Emperor" is enough to suffocate countless people.

Su Qian pondered for a while, then asked, "If I keep you, will it bring trouble to the Jia Nan Academy?"

"If that day comes, the dean will just hand me over. Although my family is domineering, they will not implicate others for no reason. Besides, Jia Nan Academy is extremely famous throughout the Dou Qi Continent, and they will not go too far. Therefore, the great elder does not need to worry about those things."

Yao Yan smiled slightly and said softly.

"What kind of trouble did you cause that you were expelled from the clan?" Su Qian was a little confused. The talent of the boy in front of him was a monster. How could those clans be willing to throw him out?

"To avenge my parents, I killed my enemy's family, who happened to be members of the same clan..."

Yao Yan said lightly.

Su Qian was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said in a solemn voice, "You can stay at the Jia Nan Academy for the time being, but if trouble comes to me because of you, I hope you can leave on your own. This is an agreement between you and me. If you agree, you can stay at the Jia Nan Academy."

"No problem." Yao Yan smiled and nodded.

"Yeah."

Su Qian took a deep look at Yao Yan, said nothing, and flew directly to his courtyard with Yao Yan. He planned to take Yao Yan with him in the next few months. If the other party had any lies, he would tell the other party the price of deceiving a strong Dou Zong.

It was obviously easy to sneak into the Jia Nan Academy. With Yao Yan's talent, Jia Nan Academy had no reason to refuse, but he came in halfway after all. Su Qian did not fully trust him, and still remained a little wary, and did not let him directly serve as a mentor. However, the other party did not restrict his freedom. He could visit the entire Inner Academy at will.

It's as if Yao Yan is really just temporarily staying in the Jia Nan Academy.

However, one thing to say is that the training environment of the Inner Academy is very much like the senior year of high school in the previous life. Everyone is practicing hard and has no mind to pay attention to other things. Every day they either go to Heavenly Flame Training Gas Tower to practice, or they go out to hunt monsters, pick medicinal materials, make trades with others in exchange for Fire Energy Points, and continue to practice hard.

The atmosphere is really nice, it reminds Yao Yan of the days when we were at the Yao Clan Academy.

The next day.

Yao Yan came to Heavenly Flame Training Gas Tower. This tower will not be opened every day, but will only be opened on a few fixed days every month. The rest of the time, it will be closed. In addition to preventing students from overusing the heart fire to practice and causing excessive accumulation of Fire Poison in the body, it is also for maintenance.

Because as time goes by, Fallen Heart Flame, who was sealed in Heavenly Flame Training Gas Tower, has become more and more irritable, and is no longer willing to be sealed here and become a tool for others to use.

Especially as Strange Fire Spirit's intelligence becomes higher and higher, his yearning for freedom becomes more and more intense.

As for why it doesn't run down... does it dare?

The arrival of Yao Yan has naturally attracted the attention of many people. The students of the Inner Academy are still very interested in 'strangers'. After all, newcomers are used to exploit them. If the other party is not strong enough, they don't mind talking to them about protection fees.

Inner Academy does not prohibit this, and even encourages it.

Because there has never been order and rules in the Dou Qi Continent, similarly, if you want to survive in the Inner Academy, you must adapt to its Unspoken Rule, unless you have the strength to break it.

Perhaps it was because Yao Yan's temperament was a bit conspicuous, so several people looked at him with unkind intentions.

Yao Yan didn't care about this. He kept looking at the black tower until a voice came to his ears. "Young man wearing a mask, are you new here? Do you want me to teach you how to use fire energy in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower... As a reward, just give me five points of fire energy."

While he was talking, a tall man walked up to Yao Yan. He was two heads taller than Yao Yan. He was tall and thick, with a powerful aura. He was a genuine Da Dou Shi.

"Xiong Zhuang took action. Tsk, what an unlucky boy. If I give it this time, I will probably have to show filial piety in the next year or two."

"What makes him strong, physically strong, and naturally gifted with divine power? He is obviously just Eight-Star Great Dou Master, but he can rely on this brute force to make Dou Ling undefeated. Among the Inner Academy, there are only a few who dare to compete with him head-on for strength."

The students around him couldn't help but stop and watch the show, obviously they were no strangers to this scene.

"Huh?"

Yao Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at the big man who was looking for trouble. He raised his eyebrows slightly. He suddenly remembered that Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy has always had the tradition of old students bullying new students. This was not improved until the generation of Xiao Yan. After understanding this, he grinned slightly and said with a smile, "Do you want Fire Energy?"

"I don't want it, this is the reward!"

Xiong Zhuang said with a smile. He stretched out his hand and pinched Yao Yan's 'slender' arm. He used a slight force to signal the other party to be more understanding and obediently pay the protection fee. However, he always knew what he wanted, and usually just asked for a few dollars. As for looting everything, this kind of thing was impossible to happen, and Inner Academy's elders would not agree to it.

He can be a 'bad guy', but he cannot interrupt other people's path to cultivation.

This is the bottom line for the Jia Nan Academy.

"Then I'll trouble this student." Yao Yan said with a smile, raised his arm slightly, and moved directly with Xiong Zhuang's arm.

At this moment, Xiong Zhuang's expression froze, staring at Yao Yan with an unbelievable look on his face, feeling the terrifying power coming from the opponent's arm. He could hardly resist that force, even though his arm had exerted its full strength, but compared with the opponent, it was like a cricket shaking a tree. This was something he had never felt before in his life.

"Pa~"

Yao Yan raised his hand and patted Xiong Zhuang's hand away. He said with a friendly face, "But the teacher doesn't like to be touched by others, especially without my consent. However, since this is your first time, I can forgive you and won't do it again."

"Old... teacher?!"

Xiong Zhuang's expression instantly faded, and he said with a bitter look on his face. He didn't expect that when he was looking for trouble, he would find a teacher Inner Academy. With just that move, the opponent's strength was obviously much stronger than his own.

"..."

The students watching the show all around also showed confused expressions one after another. It was really embarrassing to see the students teasing the teacher while watching the show.

Yao Yan said softly, "I just joined the job yesterday and haven't found a position that suits me yet. But after seeing your performance today, I think Jia Nan Academy can teach you how to respect your teachers and love your juniors."
