In the ancient tower, a large group of people surrounded Shen Yue and Wu Hao, who had their eyes closed. They laughed and whispered to each other.
"Move aside, move aside. Elder Liu is coming.”A rebuke suddenly sounded from outside the crowd. Immediately, a small path was hurriedly split apart. The Elders on each level of the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' had the highest status. Whoever offended them here would not have a good ending. They would casually use their position to cause trouble for you and would cause you to cry without tears.
As the crowd parted, a plainly dressed old man slowly walked in. His smiling gaze swept over Shen Yue and Wu Hao, who were frozen in place, as he laughed,"They are really two little fellows who do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. They have just entered the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower', yet they did not report it beforehand. They have suffered somewhat unjustly.”
"Hee hee, every year there would be reckless new students who impatiently enter the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. They deserve to suffer." Some gloating laughter erupted from the crowd. Although the training speed within the tower was quite fast, it was still a little boring after all. Now that there were new students coming in to have fun, these older students were naturally happy to see it.
"New students who have just entered the Inner Academy naturally do not understand the rules here. What is so funny about it?”
A faint, clear voice suddenly sounded. Everyone's eyes followed the voice and looked over, only to see a young lady in a silver dress. The lady was tall and slender. Although her face was a little thin, she had a rare beautiful face. Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were like a painting. What surprised everyone the most was that this lady had long hair that reached her waist. It was a rare silver color. Her long silver hair, coupled with her silver dress, caused her entire body to emit a cold aura that kept people a thousand miles away. It gave people a feeling that they could look at it from afar but could not touch it.
When everyone's eyes swept over the silver-robed lady who had maintained her silence, a hint of admiration that men usually had for beauties flashed across their eyes. However, after that admiration, there was also a hint of fear.
Those gloating laughter disappeared immediately after this silver-dressed lady spoke. From this, it could be seen that this lady possessed quite a great reputation and strength within the Inner Academy. Otherwise, in this place where strength reigned supreme, just her beauty alone was insufficient to cause others to fear her.
"Hehe, so it's Yue girl. I didn't see them. These are a bunch of people who are so bored that they need to be beaten.”Elder Liu was slightly startled when he heard the voice and saw his eyes turn to the silver-dressed lady. He immediately smiled and said.
"Elder Liu."
The silver-dressed lady did not maintain her cold attitude toward this Elder. A faint smile that was like an epiphyllum flower was revealed on her face, causing the surrounding students to be a little absent-minded.
"Which level does Yue girl plan to enter to cultivate this time?”Elder Liu glanced at Xiao Yan and Wu Hao, whose bodies had stiffened. He immediately smiled and asked the silver-dressed lady. His attitude toward the latter was clearly much friendlier than the other students.
"The sixth floor." The silver-robed woman hesitated for a moment before replying.
"The sixth level? That was something that required one to be at least a six star Dou Ling before one could descend. Could it be that senior Han Yue had already reached this level?”The lady's reply immediately caused the surrounding crowd to emit waves of shocked exclamations.
"Eh?" Elder Liu was also a little surprised by the silver-dressed lady's reply. His eyes, which were filled with a bright light, slowly swept over the latter's body. A moment later, he sighed,"Looks like within a couple of years, little girl, you will have the qualifications to compete for the position of an Elder within the Inner Academy. This kind of training talent and speed really causes one to be shocked. By the way, why isn't Ling Xiang with you today?”
"It's all because of the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. If I were to train by myself, it's likely that I would at most coincidentally enter the Dou Ling class. As for Ling Xiang, she said she wasn't feeling well today, so she didn't go with me.”The silver-dressed lady shook her head. She immediately turned her gaze to Shen Yue and Wu Hao in the crowd. Her red lips parted slightly,"Elder Liu, it's best to let these two people escape the roasting of the Heart Flame first. Otherwise, it will cause great harm to their bodies if we delay.”
Elder Liu shook his head when he heard this. He smiled and said,"Wait a moment. Little girl, when you first entered the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' back then, how long did you last under the grilling of the Heart Flame? How long did Ling Xiang last?”
Han Yue frowned slightly. She mused for a moment and said,"Seventeen minutes, and someone warned me in advance when I entered the tower. As for Ling Xiang, she seemed to have removed the Heart Fire from her body by herself!”
One could actually judge one's potential by entering the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' for the first time. This was because all the new students did not know how to cause the Heart Flame to dissipate during the first time they were grilled by the Heart Flame. Therefore, the longer one endured, the stronger one's resistance to the Heart Flame would be. This would be extremely beneficial to one's future training in the tower. Of course, there were no absolutes. This could not be considered absolute. However, it could also be considered a rough estimate. However, Ling Xiang was indeed a unique genius!”
"These two people seem to have lasted for eight minutes, right?" Elder Liu said with a smile. Hmm, this is already considered not bad."
"Elder Liu wants to test their limits?”
"Yes, let's try. If my guess is correct, this black-robed young man should be that Imperial Wind Shen Yue. He is the little fellow who led this batch of new students to defeat the older students and the Black and White Gate Fiends in the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition'. Recently, there are often people among us old fellows who talk about him.”Elder Liu glanced at Feng Yinyue, who was emitting a cold aura, behind Shen Yue, and smiled as he spoke.
"He is that Yu Feng?" Not only did the surrounding older students emit numerous exclamations when they heard Elder Liu's words, even the cold and indifferent Han Yue's eyes flashed with surprise.
Elder Liu smiled and nodded. His gaze stopped on Shen Yue and the other two, his hands in his sleeves, waiting for their limits to arrive.
"Yue girl, if you have something to do, you can go down the tower first. I'll be fine here.”While waiting, Elder Liu was afraid that he would delay Han Yue's cultivation time, so he smiled and said to her.
"It doesn't matter. I also want to see how long this new student, who has not even entered the Inner Academy and already has quite a reputation, can last.”Han Yue shook her head slightly. A pair of clear and cold eyes swept over Shen Yue and Wu Hao. During these few days, she had heard quite a bit of news regarding this batch of new students. Being able to defeat all the older student groups in the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition' did not appear to have happened before in recent years. Hence, she was a little interested in this famous new student leader whom she had never met before.
Of course, she was not the only one who was interested. After hearing Elder Liu reveal Shen Yue's identity, the surrounding older students who had originally planned to leave also stopped their footsteps. Each of them threw their gazes that contained various emotions towards the two people in the arena. They also wanted to see if this fellow possessed the rumored strength.
Due to someone spreading Shen Yue's identity, while they were waiting, there were many older students who came over after hearing the news. Hence, the circle here grew larger and larger. If it was not for the fact that the interior of the tower was extremely spacious, it was likely that it would really create a congested situation.
As time slowly flowed by, the shock in the eyes of the surrounding spectators became increasingly dense. This was because the two of them had actually persisted for fourteen minutes. Moreover, although their faces were like burning charcoal, it seemed that they had yet to reach their limits.
"Not bad indeed." Elder Liu pulled his beard and nodded with a smile. There was also some praise in his eyes.
Time continued to flow by. However, at the 16th minute, Wu Hao's body suddenly began to tremble slightly. Upon seeing this scene, the surrounding students clearly understood that Wu Hao was about to reach his limit.
Elder Liu extended his eagle claw-like shriveled right hand when he saw Wu Hao's reaction. He aimed it across the air at Wu Hao, whose body had already begun to tremble slightly. Threads of cream-white flame slowly surfaced on the tip of his finger. The flame agglomerated at the tip of his finger and finally formed a fire vortex that continuously rotated.
He gently flicked his finger on the fire swirl. One could see the fire swirl swiftly leave his hand. Finally, it floated around a foot away from Wu Hao's heart.
"Come out!"
Elder Liu rotated his palm slightly as he softly cried out. One could see the cream-white fire vortex swiftly rotate. Wave after wave of suction force was emitted. Finally, under the pulling force of this flame, a thread of somewhat distorted invisible flame was forcefully pulled out from Wu Hao's heart. Finally, it was sucked into the fire vortex and forcefully shattered into nothingness.
Wu Hao's trembling body immediately stiffened after the wisp of invisible flame left his body. His legs went limp and he sat down on the ground. His charcoal like face also swiftly withdrew. His mouth was like a wild bull as he exhaled rough breaths. At this moment, not only his body, but his mind was also in an extremely exhausted state. He did not have the mood to look at the surrounding crowd.
"Hehe, sixteen minutes, and he was corroded by the Heart Fire when he was unprepared. This result is not bad.”Looking at Wu Hao who was seated, Elder Liu praised with a smile,"This batch of new students seems to be a little stronger than before.”
By the side, Han Yue nodded slightly. It was likely that the resistance of this new student to the Heart Flame had surpassed her by one. After all, although she had persisted for seventeen minutes, someone had once told her what she should do when she entered the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' for the first time back then in order to last the longest. Hence, if one were to calculate it this way, she had still cheated.
"That Imperial Wind is actually still able to persist? This kind of fire resistance could even be compared to that little girl. Han Yue's eyes once again shifted to Shen Yue, who had her eyes tightly shut, as she muttered in a low voice.
"No wonder he was able to lead the new students to defeat the older students. This little guy really has some ability.”
Looking at Shen Yue who was still persevering and did not reveal her limits, Elder Liu smiled. He once again inserted his hands into his sleeves and said,"Alright. Today, I want to see how long you can last.”
However, just as Elder Liu's voice sounded, everyone saw Shen Yue's body suddenly tremble. Only then did they quietly sigh in relief. Fortunately, this fellow did not do something as shocking as leading the new students to defeat the older students. Otherwise, it would be too much of a blow to them, who had only lasted for less than ten minutes back then.
"Sigh!"
Elder Liu was startled when he saw this. He immediately shook his head in disappointment and laughed bitterly,"Your expectations are indeed a little too high."
"Elder Liu, it has been nearly eighteen minutes. This resistance to the Heart Flame is already considered very good. There are not many people in the Inner Academy.”Han Yue involuntarily spoke somewhat helplessly when she saw Elder Liu's expression. Did these words of his not cause the other students to feel ashamed?
"Hehe, it's indeed very good." Elder Liu laughed awkwardly. With a wave of his hand, another milky-white fire vortex appeared. With a flick of his finger, the fire vortex once again stopped at Shen Yue's heart.
The faint milky white flame illuminated half of Shen Yue's red face in a strange manner.
"Come out!"
Another soft cry sounded. The fire vortex suddenly rotated. However, at this moment, something that caused one to be dumbstruck suddenly appeared!
As the fire swirled, the invisible flame that everyone had expected did not appear. Instead, it was delayed for a moment before a large orange flame suddenly surged out of Shen Yue's body without any warning. Finally, it formed an orange fire wave that swallowed Elder Liu's cream-white flame.
Not only did the white-colored flame swirl fail to forcefully shatter the orange flame like before, but it was also devoured without being able to retaliate. This strange scene caused the surrounding students to be dumbstruck.
After the Nine Heavens Illusory Void Flame devoured the milky white flame, it did not dissipate. When no one was controlling it, it seemed to automatically protect its master. Therefore, after it devoured the milky white flame that was a threat to Shen Yue, it followed the attack aura and swept towards Elder Liu. The energy that erupted in an instant not only caused the surrounding students to turn pale with fright, even Elder Liu was slightly moved.
"Disperse!"
The orange flame swept over. Elder Liu hurriedly cried out when he sensed its indiscriminate attack.
The surrounding older students hurriedly withdrew when they heard Elder Liu's cry. Immediately, the interior of the tower became chaotic. Many human figures hurriedly withdrew, afraid that they would be engulfed by the orange flame of unknown origin.
Elder Liu's face was solemn as he watched the orange flames sweeping over. He waved his hands and waves of cream-white flames surged out from his hands. Finally, they formed a flame barrier at an extremely fast speed. He threw his hand and enveloped Shen Yue and the orange flames that were sweeping over.
The orange flame continued to pursue relentlessly. Finally, it collided with the cream-white flame barrier in front of everyone's eyes!
"Boom!"
Wild and violent energy surged out the moment they made contact. It shook the flame barrier until it swiftly trembled. The enormous explosion sound was mixed with a turbulent hot airwave that shook the entire 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' until it began to tremble a little!
Dou Qi swiftly agglomerated on the surface of Han Yue's body to form an energy light barrier while she was pulling back. Ripples repeatedly appeared on the light barrier after it received the aftershock from the energy attack. Fortunately, it did not cause any harm to her body.
Han Yue's body swiftly pulled back a few dozen steps. She hurriedly threw her gaze toward the spot of the explosion when she heard the loud sound that had gradually fallen. She was slightly startled when she saw the clear scene. Her red lips immediately parted, her heart filled with shock.
