Within the spacious ancient tower, one could see a faint white fog lingering around. At the edge of the white fog, an elderly figure was standing with slightly hurried breathing.
At this moment, the color of Elder Liu's face was swiftly changing. At times, he was shocked, and at other times, he was surprised. He appeared quite interesting. The clothes on his body had been burned by more than half. His head of hair faintly emitted a charred stench. From his appearance, this Elder, who possessed quite a high status within the Inner Academy, was in an extremely miserable state.
At this moment, the other older students in the hall, who had scattered in order to avoid the flame, had finally recovered from their earlier panic. However, when their eyes once again turned toward the source of the earlier panic explosion, they coincidentally saw the miserable looking Elder Liu. Immediately, their hearts, which had just recovered, were once again replaced by dullness.
To be able to become the tower guard Elder of the Inner Academy, this in itself required a strict requirement of one's strength. Hence, all the Elders in the tower were extremely powerful individuals.
Although there were some extremely talented geniuses within the Inner Academy who had undergone bitter training and could be compared to some Elders, those people were extremely rare existences. Moreover, there was not a single one of them who did not train within the Inner Academy for nearly four to five years before achieving such an achievement. However, Elder Liu had ended up in such a miserable state in the hands of a new student who had just entered the Inner Academy less than three days ago. This scene…It was even more shocking and unbelievable than when Mystic Moon led the freshmen to snatch the seniors.
The shock on Han Yue's face continued for around a minute before it was gradually withdrawn. Her eyes swept toward the place where the white fog lingered. Her originally indifferent eyes had an additional strangeness. This new student was indeed very interesting.
"Ahem!"
The silence within the ancient tower was suddenly broken by a coughing sound. Elder Liu's eyes stared intently at the cluster of white fog that permeated the air. He immediately lowered his head and patted his clothes that had been burnt until they were tattered. He laughed softly,"What a good Imperial Wind Shen Yue. No wonder those old fellows were always so mysterious when they mentioned you. So it is because of this thing. You are really a fellow blessed by the heavens. This kind of thing, there is not a single elder in the tower who does not want to obtain it."
The older students in the tower naturally did not understand Elder Liu's words. However, they were able to figure out something. This Yu Feng seemed to possess some mysterious thing that even the Elders desired.
Elder Liu waved his sleeve gently. He was just about to scatter the white fog that had spread in front of him when soft footsteps were suddenly emitted from the fog. This caused him to stop the action of his hand. His eyes stared intently at the fog.
The sound of footsteps slowly reverberated within the ancient tower. Everyone scrambled to throw their gazes towards the fog region where the sound of footsteps had been emitted. Regardless of how one put it, the powerful strength that Shen Yue had displayed earlier was sufficient to cause them to forget his identity as a new student. However, they did not know that this strength was not led by Shen Yue. Instead, it was entirely because the Nine Sky Illusionary Void Flame had coincidentally attracted the attention of the Fallen Heart Flame. It had escaped from the Void Flames Space, giving Shen Yue the chance to tame the flames and use them for himself. The power that had erupted just now happened to be the power that Xu Yan occasionally unleashed to protect his master.
Now, if Shen Yue were to automatically guide the Nine Heavens Illusionary Void Flame to unleash a power that could force Elder Liu into this state, the failure rate would definitely be above 99%.
As the footsteps within the white fog became louder and louder, a blurry figure slowly appeared. Finally, the figure stepped out of the edge of the white fog and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
A black-robed young man was carrying a tachi that was as long as his body. His left hand was carrying Wu Hao, who appeared to have fainted. His slightly furrowed eyes slowly swept over the surrounding crowd. Other than a few people who were quite strong, most of the older students who had met his gaze had avoided him because of the shock from the earlier eruption.
"Tsk tsk, you actually used your own strength to recover from the first roasting of the Heart Flame. Imperial Wind Shen Yue, after so many years, you are the second person in Di Canaan.”Elder Liu was startled when he saw Shen Yue return to his normal state. He immediately sighed.
"And you are?" Shen Yue asked doubtfully as she looked at the old man in front of her.
"Ke ke, I am the Tower Guard Elder of the first level of the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. You can directly call me Elder Liu.”Elder Liu smiled as he spoke. His words did not contain the stern reprimand that he used on the other older students. Just the treatment that Shen Yue had received caused the surrounding older students to quietly mutter to themselves. The status of an Elder was extremely high in the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' or even the entire Inner Academy. In this place, no student would dare to go against their words. Of course, other than some outstanding people, this was because these outstanding people might have the opportunity to become Elders of the same level as them. In this Inner Academy, even if they were Elders, they would still have to rope in experts from the same camp for the future.
After all, the Elders within the Inner Academy were not completely from the same faction. There was no lack of fighting in any place. Perhaps it was for power, perhaps it was for benefits, perhaps it was for other things, and so on.
"Oh, Elder Liu, what are you doing?" Nodding her head in realization, Shen Yue looked at Elder Liu's appearance and could not help but ask in surprise.
"Uh, I'm fine. I accidentally made a mistake while controlling the flame.”Elder Liu's eyebrows involuntarily twitched a couple of times after being innocently questioned by the instigator. He immediately laughed dryly and shook his head. He did not suspect that Shen Yue was acting dumb. Although the terrifying flame that erupted earlier was extremely terrifying, in the eyes of someone like him who had played with fire his entire life, he understood that this was merely the counterattack of "that thing". It did not have much to do with Shen Yue.
"What about my friend?" Shen Yue pointed at Wu Hao, who was currently unconscious.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little exhausted from the heat of the Heart Flame. I'll be fine after a night's rest.”Elder Liu explained with a smile.
"Heart Fire Grilling?" The unfamiliar words made Mystic Moon frown again.
"Ke ke, you are a newcomer to the Inner Academy. Therefore, you do not know some of the matters and rules of the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. If you have the time, would you like to hear me explain it to you?”Elder Liu smiled.
"Thank you, Elder Liu." Shen Yue hesitated for a moment when he heard this before agreeing. He had just arrived and it was indeed necessary for him to first understand the most mysterious place in the Inner Academy. This was to facilitate his 'Ling Shen' new students to quickly find the way and swiftly raise their overall strength. From there, they would be qualified to stand in this Inner Academy where the strong gathered.
"It's fine. This is also my duty.”Elder Liu waved his hand. His gaze turned to the surrounding spectating students. His smile involuntarily sank as he shouted,"What are you all still doing here? Why didn't he go and cultivate as soon as possible? If you have enough free time to cultivate, I can help you move your seats.”
The surrounding students hurriedly shook their heads when they heard Elder Liu's cry. After which, they swiftly rushed towards various directions within the ancient tower. They were afraid that if they were to leave late, the good land that they had obtained with great difficulty would really be exchanged by Elder Liu.
Shen Yue could not help but feel a little amused when she saw that those older students who were so proud of themselves in the new academy were like obedient lambs in Elder Liu's hands. However, on top of being amused, the weight she held in her heart towards Elder Liu had increased greatly. If it was not for the fact that she held some real power within the Inner Academy, it was definitely impossible for these older students with wild and unruly personalities to be tamed in such a manner.
"Hehe, these brats are all very arrogant. If they don't be strict, they won't pay attention to you at all.”Elder Liu said to Shen Yue with a smile after sending the crowd away.
Shen Yue smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Come, come, Mystic Moon, let me introduce you to someone.”Elder Liu's gaze swept over this level of the ancient tower. After which, he pulled Shen Yue with one hand and walked toward a lady in a silver dress. From the looks of her appearance, she was Han Yue, who had the qualification to enter the sixth level of the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'.
"This is Han Yue. She has already entered the Inner Academy for three years and can be considered your senior. Ke ke, her strength is not ordinary. Moreover, she has even established a faction called 'Yue Ling' within the Inner Academy. Her strength is quite strong, especially since her faction still has the most outstanding little girl in the entire Inner Academy as a trump card. In this Inner Academy where many strong people gather, there are very few factions that dare to provoke her.”Elder Liu smiled as he introduced her to the silver-robed woman.
"Oh?"
Surprise flashed across Shen Yue's face when he heard Elder Liu's introduction. His eyes sized up this lady called Han Yue. This was the first time they had met, and the latter's icy snow lotus like cold demeanor had left a deep impression on him. However, the thing that shocked him the most was the strength of this lady. Although one could not see through the other party's strength with their naked eyes, Shen Yue was able to vaguely sense that this silver-dressed silver-haired lady was actually much stronger than Luohou with the help of her powerful Spiritual Strength!
"There are indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons within this Inner Academy. It is unexpected that the other party, who is only a female, possesses such strength. Looks like this place is indeed a gathering of elites! In addition to the so-called number one person in the Inner Academy, it seemed that she was also a woman.”Shen Yue's heart sank, but she didn't show anything on her face. She placed Wu Hao on the ground and stretched out her hand, smiling,"Hello, Senior Sister Han Yue."
Elder Liu by the side involuntarily paused as he watched Shen Yue extend her hand toward Han Yue. Being aware of the latter's character, he naturally understood that this lady, who had always been extremely obsessed with cleanliness, was a little resistant to touching a man's skin. Even when she was fighting with others, she would use Dou Qi to firmly wrap herself up. Her obsession with cleanliness to this extent really caused one to be speechless.
However, before Elder Liu could say anything to stop her, the lady called Han Yue hesitated for a moment before a white jade-like wrist slid out from her silver-colored sleeve. After which, she gently held Shen Yue's hand in front of Elder Liu's stunned gaze. The black tea was slightly stirred and a clear voice that was like a quiet spring flowing from a snowy mountain was quietly emitted.
"Hello,"
Some gazes were shot over from all over the ancient tower. They were startled when they saw the hands of the two of them being held together. Immediately, their scalding gazes, which contained some jealousy, turned to the black-robed young man, who had caused them to clench their teeth.
