Chapter 155: Tower Breakthrough, Summoning Lin Xiu

Inside the tower.

The people immersed in cultivation were awakened by a thunderous voice.

Xiao Yan opened his still somewhat confused eyes and found that the elders around him had very unpleasant expressions, as if something big had happened.

"Go! Hurry!"

"You all, quickly leave the tower, do not linger!"

"Hurry up and leave the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower!"

The elders' voices were urgent and severe, carrying an unmistakable meaning.

Lin Xiu Ya and the others got up, exchanging glances, noticing the confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

They did not delay, nor did they inquire.

Obviously, whatever could make the elders so urgent, something big must have happened in the tower.

The group rushed upwards along the passage.

Xiao Yan walked at the back. Before entering the passage, he glanced at the deep hole in the center.

With the Green Lotus Core Flame, he could clearly sense a scorching temperature inside, continuously gathering.

"Hurry, Fallen Heart Flame is erupting completely this time. The seal below won't hold it for much longer."

Old Yao's voice timely echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

"Teacher, the Academy's seal can't hold it either? Really? But this is Jia Nan Academy."

Xiao Yan was startled, but his feet didn't slow down at all. He caught up directly with Lin Xiu Ya and the others.

"If it's just dealing with Fallen Heart Flame, Jia Nan Academy naturally wouldn't have any problems, but if they want to use Fallen Heart Flame, then they'll be constrained."

Old Yao's voice was deep. "This might be your chance. Don't stray too far from this tower later."

"Alright."

A glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

Shortly after they reached the ground and exited the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, a blood-red, scorching flame suddenly rushed out from the top of the tower.

The ground shook violently.

Someone couldn't stand steady and plopped down on the ground.

All eyes stared at the huge and ferocious head suddenly protruding from the top of the tower, completely stunned.

"What... what is this thing?"

Lin Xiu Ya stared blankly at the monstrous creature made of flames.

He sensed a familiar scent on that transparent fire python, somewhat similar to the Heart Flame he had recently used for Body-Forging.

Seeing the Fallen Heart Flame in such a complete form for the first time, Xiao Yan's throat twitched slightly.

It looked no smaller than a Sixth Rank Magic Beast. Could he really swallow it?

"I didn't expect Fallen Heart Flame to evolve into this appearance. At this moment, it's almost no different from an ordinary Magic Beast."

Old Yao's voice carried a hint of astonishment. The shock brought by this transparent fire python to him was obviously not small.

To evolve from an invisible fire into the current state must have required countless years of accumulation and condensation.

"Teacher, now that it has appeared, it's so terrifying. How do we deal with it? It's impossible to capture it directly, right?" Xiao Yan hurriedly asked.

The evolution of the Flame Mantra requires devouring a Heavenly Flame, and Heavenly Flames are hard to come by. Now that the Fallen Heart Flame is right in front of them, they couldn't afford to miss it no matter what.

"Just relying on you, of course, it's impossible. Even if it were me, perhaps only in my prime could I attempt it," Old Yao sneered. "Wait, for now, we can only see what plans these elders in the inner courtyard have."

The Fallen Heart Flame has been imprisoned for so long. Now that it has finally broken through the seal, it must hold a lot of resentment.

If it wants to cause havoc in the inner courtyard, those elders naturally won't agree to it.

Hopefully, they can heavily deplete the Fallen Heart Flame.

At this moment, the Fallen Heart Flame is too strong. Even with Xiao Yan relying on the Chilling Bone Flame, it wouldn't be of much help.

The transparent fire python protruding from the top of the tower, with a pair of all-white triangular pupils scanning the surroundings. Anyone caught in its gaze felt a chill creeping up their spine.

Some of the more timid ones turned pale and used both hands and feet to push their bodies backward.

The Fallen Heart Flame seemed to be searching for something. After scanning around without finding anything, it lifted its head and fixed its gaze on a black energy membrane above.

"Sizzle!"

The transparent fire python suddenly emitted a sharp hiss, and invisible sound waves rapidly spread, continuously impacting the energy barrier.

After being struck by the impact, the energy barrier rippled violently.

Then, it opened its mouth and spewed out a huge invisible flame.

Upon contact with the flame, the black energy membrane wrinkled like plastic film being burnt by flames, layers peeling off and dissolving into the air.

Although the black energy membrane's defensive power is astonishing and formidable, when faced with seemingly ceaseless flames, its collapse seems only a matter of time.

"These seals seem to have little effect on it," Xiao Yan muttered softly.

This was his first time encountering such a terrifying Heavenly Flame.

He felt that even if Yun Shan were here, he probably wouldn't dare to endure the roasting of the Fallen Heart Flame for long.

It must be obtained!

As everyone watched the Fallen Heart Flame, Su Qian finally rushed out of the tower with his men.

At the same time, elders from various parts of the Academy also hurried over.

"It's bad, the seals we set up before didn't have any effect at all."

"If it continues to burn like this, it will definitely break out of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower."

The elders, who were previously full of confidence, now witnessed the behavior of the Fallen Heart Flame and wore worried expressions on their faces.

"Grand Elder, what do we do now?"

A elder looked to Su Qian, asking hastily.

As the elders guarding the Fallen Heart Flame in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, they were well aware that once the Fallen Heart Flame completely broke free from the refining tower, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Academy.

"Use all your strength to stop it from further damaging the seals," Su Qian's eyes flickered, deciding not to employ the array seal left by the former Headmaster for now.

He turned around and looked not far away.

A large number of students had gathered at the edge of the pit, looking out.

"Lin Xiu! Come here quickly!"

Unable to find him, Su Qian had to call out loud.

As soon as his voice fell, a commotion erupted among the crowd outside.

"Lin Xiu? Which Lin Xiu are you talking about?"

"How many Lin Xius can there be in the inner courtyard? What do you think?"

"No way, the elder obviously wants to deal with that python. What's the use of calling Lin Xiu? Is he capable?"

"Lin Xiu is at least a Dou King."

"Is being a Dou King useful? Look carefully there, there are even Dou Emperors. Are Dou Kings still needed?"

Almost all of the students were somewhat puzzled.

A figure emerged from behind, with a pair of Dou Qi wings supporting his body, swiftly shooting towards the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

"Sizzle!"

As soon as Lin Xiu appeared, the transparent fire python, besieged by numerous elders, suddenly turned its gaze towards him.

"It's afraid!"

"This is unbelievable. It doesn't care about so many elders, but it's afraid of Lin Xiu!"

Many students were astonished to see the change in the python's behavior.

Since when did Lin Xiu's status in the Academy become higher than that of the elders?

"Teacher, did Grand Elder specifically invite Lin Xiu out? Do they have confidence in using his Fire Spirit to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame?"

Seeing Lin Xiu appear, Xiao Yan's heart tightened, becoming extremely nervous.

"I'm not sure. Let's wait and see," Yao Chen also hesitated for a moment.

He had witnessed Lin Xiu using the Flame Soul Separation Technique before, which indeed could usurp his control over the Chilling Bone Flame.

However, this process was short-lived.

Moreover, the Fallen Heart Flame was different from the Chilling Bone Flame; it was pure fire, and its current state was much stronger, far surpassing his control over the Chilling Bone Flame.

Regardless of whether it could be resolved or not, Lin Xiu would undoubtedly weaken the Fallen Heart Flame to some extent.

Perhaps this was their chance.

Yao Chen hoped to see Lin Xiu take action.
