Concept

"There are so many people..."

Nalan Chenfeng let out a soft breath, his gaze resolute.

The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower contains the Fallen Heart Flame, which provides body tempering and can greatly increase cultivation speed. For him, before becoming Dou Wang, this place was a blessed land for cultivation.

"Let's go, Yue'er."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled, then pulled Han Yue toward the entrance of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Han Yue remained silent, letting Nalan Chenfeng pull her along, her mind still preoccupied with yesterday's events.

Yesterday, Nalan Chenfeng said many sweet words to coax her and gave her five hundred days' worth of Fire Energy, but this was not the result she wanted.

What she wanted to know was what methods Nalan Chenfeng had used to examine her inside and out in that instant, leaving behind some claw marks.

In that instant yesterday, she was completely naked. This ghostly method is far more terrifying than Nalan Chenfeng's strength.

If it weren't for the fact that her heart already belonged to Nalan Chenfeng, and that they had already had plenty of intimate contact, she would rather die than be taken advantage of and exposed like that.

Her virginity can only be given to the person she loves.

In a short while.

The two then arrived at the open space in front of the tower.

At this moment, the open space was divided into several areas in a very regular manner, and in each area, there was a large group of people sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed.

"It seems I need to find time to build up a force within the Inner Academy. Originally, Han Yue had already established a Moon Spirit..."

Nalan Chenfeng's gaze swept over the figures, and he had already made up his mind.

By establishing a faction within the Inner Academy, you can gather Fire Energy and no longer have to worry about resources.

Furthermore, this can serve as a base for expansion into the surrounding areas of the Black-Corner Region.

In the Dou Qi Continent, cultivation is inseparable from talent, but even more so from resources.

"The tower isn't open yet; we're a bit early."

As Nalan Chenfeng stopped, Han Yue also snapped out of her chaotic thoughts.

She liked Nalan Chenfeng very much, and even more so after yesterday, but now was not the time for them to talk about their feelings.

Today is her first time entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to be Heartfire Scorching; that is her purpose in coming here.

"Okay, just wait."

Nalan Chenfeng nodded slightly.

"These people must be some of the more powerful factions within the Inner Academy. They're really domineering, skipping the queue and directly occupying the best spots."

"To obtain the best cultivation conditions within the Inner Academy, one must either form or join a powerful faction."

Han Yue glanced around and whispered.

"Then you go and organize it."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled, his gaze sweeping over Han Yue.

Han Yue has a kind of germaphobia. Currently, she doesn't want to have contact with anyone except him. Even in battle, she will use her Dou Qi to firmly wrap herself up to avoid touching others.

If it were allowed to create its own faction, it would most likely create another Moon Spirit that only accepts women.

"Actually, I've always wanted to create a faction that only includes girls, but such a faction has too many weaknesses in the Inner Academy and can't truly establish itself."

"I think we can bring Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and Lin Yan along, with you leading the way, to form a new force. With their talent and potential, this force can quickly become one of the top forces in the Inner Academy."

Han Yue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she spoke of her long-held wish, and finally offered a suggestion to Nalan Chenfeng.

"Your idea is good, don't worry too much."

"We can definitely form a separate faction, managing the men and women separately."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly, looking at Han Yue with gentle eyes.

Han Yue is now his girlfriend, so there's nothing wrong with fulfilling her wish; it can be considered compensation for Han Yue yesterday.

Yesterday, Han Yue was quite frightened by his methods, and it took him a while to coax her into accepting it.

However, it must be said that after yesterday, Han Yue and he had completely broken down their barriers and were now inseparable.

While the two were talking, many of the senior students in the Inner Academy who were meditating opened their eyes and turned their gazes toward them.

"This young man must be Nalan Chenfeng, the new student..."

"I can't even sense his strength, that's terrifying."

"..."

"That's his girlfriend over there, she's really beautiful."

"You can't attack a freshman within a month, otherwise I'd like to see if he's really as powerful as the rumors say..."

"Su Bai and his ilk are such trashy Dou Ling, they're utterly useless."

"..."

Whispers filled the open space, and for a moment, Nalan Chenfeng became the focus of everyone's attention.

In less than a day, news of Nalan Chen's outstanding performance in the Wind and Fire Energy Hunting Competition spread throughout the inner courtyard.

Most of the senior students in the Inner Academy expressed some doubt about this, and did not believe it completely.

Some of the older students, however, were not convinced and couldn't stand how arrogant a freshman was.

They were all freshmen, so it was inevitable that they would have some lingering negative feelings towards the senior students. Nalan Chenfeng's actions in the Fire Energy Hunting Tournament caused many senior students to break down their defenses.

"It seems that in a month, I'll inevitably have to deal with these guys."

Facing the many gazes directed at him, Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly, but didn't take them to heart.

He has now switched to cultivating Mid Earth Tier technique and entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for training. He is confident that he can break through to the Six-Star Dou Ling within a month.

At that time, even without using the special ability to freeze time, just relying on the quality of his own Dou Qi and recovery speed, he would be able to fight against people of the eighth or Nine-Star Dou Ling in this Inner Academy.

As for those with the strength of eight or Nine-Star Dou Ling, they are extremely rare in the entire Inner Academy. The current Canaan Inner Academy is not like the generation that grew up later, such as Lin Xiuya.

"Okay, be careful then."

Han Yue nodded slightly and gave a word of advice.

Thump!

Just as the two were speaking, a vast and resounding ancient bell chime echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

As the bell tolled, the chatter and conversations among the students in the open space abruptly ceased.

"Open the tower!"

Immediately afterwards, an aged voice came from the black tower.

As soon as he finished speaking, a creaking sound came from the tightly closed black gate leading to the entrance of the Black Tower.

A scorching heat emanated from it, causing the temperature of the surrounding area to rise slightly.

Sensing the sudden increase in temperature, Nalan Chenfeng's eyes gleamed, his heart filled with anticipation.

"Enter the tower!"

An aged voice echoed from the tower once more, and immediately everyone on the open ground swarmed towards the tower gate.

"We are newcomers to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. We need to report to the elder guarding the tower. The first challenge is to endure the scorching heat of the Heart Fire inside. You'll gradually adapt."

"The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is right here; it's not going anywhere. You can cultivate step by step. Don't think about staying inside forever the first time you enter. Wait until you're more stable before cultivating there long-term."

Nalan Chenfeng took Han Yue's soft, slender hand, and while giving Han Yue some instructions, slowly walked towards the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

He was not unfamiliar with the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower in the Canaan Inner Academy.

The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower has ten levels, but with Han Yue's current strength, he can only cultivate on the third level at most, and that is based on his familiarity with the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Han Yue is different from him; the gap in strength between them is too great, and it will be difficult for her to adapt quickly on her first visit.

"Okay, I know. You already told me that yesterday. Stop nagging. Hurry up."

Han Yue Yanran, a hint of tenderness flashing in her clear, bright eyes, and her fingers brushed against Nalan Chenfeng's palm.

It feels so good to have someone who cares about and looks after her. Apart from that embarrassing moment yesterday, this guy is really a nice person.

"You must be Nalan Chenfeng, truly a prodigy..."
