Replenishment

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and with Star Pellet Leap landed on the arena.

As soon as Xiao Yan entered the arena, a scorching aura suddenly emanated from outside the arena, and then a fiery red figure instantly swept across the air above the plaza, landing in the arena like a ball of flame.

As soon as the red figure appeared, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted from the surrounding stands.

Clearly, Yang Lie is extremely popular in the Outer Academy, and many people also understand that if Xiao Yan wins the selection competition, it will not be a glorious thing for the others.

"Six-Star Dou Shi!" Hu Gan rubbed his eyes, still finding it hard to believe, staring at Xiao Yan on the arena in utter astonishment.

Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Zhe level in less than a month, and not only did he directly leap to the Dou Shi level, but he is also about to break through to become Da Dou Shi!

Such a rapid cultivation speed is unprecedented, even in the history of the Jia Nan Academy.

Could it be that some kind of cultivation technique has started refining the energy of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame again? Hu Gan secretly wondered, this was truly an eye-opener for him.

If that's true, wouldn't Xiao Yan be able to continuously use the energy contained in the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to break through his limits?

The condensation of the Heavenly Flames takes an extremely long time, and the accumulated and compressed energy of heaven and earth reaches a terrifying level.

With this aid, Xiao Yan will have no difficulty breaking through in the next realm.

In the center of the stands, the others beside Hu Gan were also astonished as they looked at Xiao Yan. This genius's potential seemed to be much higher than they had estimated, and he had actually broken through again!

Amidst the astonishment of several powerful figures, Xiao Yan's second match was about to begin.

The young man named Yang Lie had long, fiery hair and a tall, strong physique. He didn't seem like someone from the Alchemy Department. If Jia Nan Academy had a casting department, it would be more believable to say that he was from the casting department.

"So you're that genius Xiao Yan?" Yang Lie looked at Xiao Yan with a smile. "Although you have good potential, it's not enough for you to win the selection."

Xiao Yan ignored Yang Lie's words and glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man on the referee's bench.

Most of the students in the Outer Academy thought that if a teenager entered the Inner Academy, it would make the Outer Academy look like it had no one and would be ashamed.

Completely unaware of the fierce competition within the Inner Academy, they don't even need to actually enter the Inner Academy; the upcoming Fire Energy Hunting Tournament alone will show them what true humiliation is.

"Let's begin!" the middle-aged man on the referee's stand waved his hand and announced loudly.

As soon as the middle-aged referee finished speaking, cheers erupted from the stands.

Some of them were Yang Lie's own supporters, some were students who admired Mu Rong Han but now turned to support Yang Lie, and the last part were students who didn't want Xiao Yan to win the selection competition.

But after it started, Yang Lie's eyes narrowed, like a cheetah poised to pounce, as if he had completely shut out the noise from the outside world.

A flash of light appeared in Yang Lie 'Storage Ring, and a blazing red greatsword appeared in his hand.

Looking at the ancient and powerful broadsword in Yang Lie's hand, radiating a fiery aura, Xiao Yan gasped. This was yet another high-quality Magic Core Weapon!

Even without using his Beast Fire, Yang Lie could use Fire Attribute Dou Qi to power this weapon, making him effective against many people using ice-attribute Dou Qi.

Xiao Yan stood with his arms crossed in front of him, his resolve unshaken by Yang Lie's expensive weapon.

The match began, and the two players remained extremely quiet, but the tense atmosphere had already spread throughout the entire square.

As if sensing the extraordinary nature of the battle, the surrounding stands gradually quieted down, with everyone intently watching the arena, afraid of missing any detail after the match began.

A moment later, everyone saw a flash of red light, followed by a burst of scorching heat.

With a few loud thuds, some people could only see two colors of light flashing in the arena: red and white. The scorching heat and the icy cold collided fiercely on the stage, allowing the people in the stands to experience completely different weather in the same spot.

In the arena, Yang Lie continuously channeled his Fire Attribute Dou Qi into the greatsword in his hand. After the large amount of Dou Qi qi activated the Fourth Tier fire-attribute Magic Core embedded in it, the entire greatsword was like a fire phoenix awakening.

Each swing carries an intensely oppressive wave of fire; before the broadsword has even fully fallen, the sharp force has already caused charred cracks to appear on the arena.

This clearly demonstrates just how terrifying the power of each of Yang Lie's strikes was!

In stark contrast to Yang Lie's frenzied attacks, Xiao Yan showed no intention of moving. He simply crossed his arms in front of him, without even glancing at the specific direction of Yang Lie's attack.

While refining medicine, Xiao Yan gained a deeper understanding of the Dou Technique he was cultivating.

By carefully sensing the condition of the medicinal materials during the alchemy process and adjusting the flame temperature accordingly, Xiao Yan developed a strong overall perspective.

One specific manifestation of this is the Heaven-Earth Yin-Yang Flow, which is essentially transferring specific attacks into the universe.

At this moment, Xiao Yan did not focus on the specific form of the attack, but instead used his powerful soul force to sense Yang Lie's fighting spirit in launching the attack.

The moment Yang Lie was about to attack him, Xiao Yan sensed something.

The saying goes, "Their strength may only scratch my surface, but my will has already penetrated their very bones."

However, Xiao Yan did not use this to unleash the Heaven-Earth Yin-Yang Flow, but instead activated the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

A thick wall of ice rose from the ground along Yang Lie Yang Lie's attack path, blocking his way.

As an alchemy student, Yang Lie's fire-attribute battle qi is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he also wields a valuable fire-attribute magic core weapon, so of course he wouldn't be intimidated by an ice wall.

With a powerful clench of his fist, the blazing red greatsword slammed into the ice wall.

With a clang, the scene of ice shards flying everywhere that Yang Lie had anticipated did not occur.

Looking at the ice wall in front of him, which was completely still and without even a crack or damage, Yang Lie's eyes widened like copper bells, filled with disbelief.

What kind of ice is this? How can it be so hard?!

Yang Lie was taken aback, but he didn't completely lose his mind. After his attack failed miserably, he jumped back a few steps to create distance between himself and the ice wall, preventing a sudden attack.

Immediately following, Yang Lie stomped his foot hard on the ground, and with a loud boom, a small crater appeared on the arena, filled with dense cracks. Like a falling meteor, Yang Lie, surrounded by blazing flames, rushed towards Xiao Yan an extremely fast speed.

This time, Yang Lie not only increased his speed by three points, but also improved the Dou Qi he channeled into the Magic Core Weapon.
