"Ten thousand!?"
Ten thousand Fire Energy is definitely an astronomical figure in the Inner Academy. After all, with a 'gold-devouring beast' like the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower, many people can't save Fire Energy.
Just like the Fire Energy Capture Competition some time ago, the top fifty from the previous year had only a pitiful ten to twenty days' worth of Fire Energy on their Fire Energy Cards after a year in the Inner Academy. Only Luo Hou and Bai Feng, both Dou Ling, had Fire Energy numbers exceeding three digits.
Even if all the members of their dozen or so gangs combined, it would be difficult to gather ten thousand Fire Energy.
"What's wrong? If you don't have the financial resources, don't try to start gang wars and bets," Xiao Yan said, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Brother Fu, don't agree to him. That guy has some trump cards, and I always feel that his strength is more than that. I'm afraid even Brother Bai Cheng can't beat him. If that's the case, our Bai Gang will be in trouble. Without Fire Energy, it will affect this year's Strong Ranking List competition," Bai Shan hurriedly pulled Fu Ao, he was really afraid of this freak, Xiao Yan.
Fu Ao exchanged glances with the people from other gangs, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, why should we bet with you? We'll all attack together. We have more people than your new students. You definitely can't resist!"
Fu Ao was also clever, knowing that Xiao Yan was not easy to deal with, and planned to target the other weaker new students, forcing them to leave Xiao Hall and isolate Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, his eyes with a hint of madness and ferocity, and said with a smile: "Is that so? Then I, Xiao Yan, will do nothing next, and every day I will wait for the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower to open, and I will follow you. Whichever cultivation room you enter, I will blast your cultivation rooms one by one."
"I am still a new student and have five years, but some of you will graduate this year, right?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's suicidal statement, even Fu Ao frowned. If they didn't kill Xiao Yan, they wouldn't have a good time either.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"We, the Mountain Splitting Gang, are also very interested in competing with him."
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. He knew it was Yao Sheng, who had just had a conflict with him, from the sound of his voice.
In addition to Yao Sheng, there were several other members of the Mountain Splitting Gang, but these people were all following behind a young woman, as if she was the leader.
The leading woman was wearing a snow fox fur skirt, and her appearance was quite beautiful, with an oval face, cherry lips, painted willow eyebrows, and watery eyes. All of this combined gave others a pleasing aesthetic feeling, and it was no wonder she was so sought after.
"It's Lei Na! And Yao Sheng! These are the second and third in command of the Mountain Splitting Gang!"
"Isn't that Miss Liu Fei in the middle! Could it be that even Liu Qing, who is third on the Strong Ranking List, is going to take action!"
Seeing the sissy Yao Sheng, the big guy Lei Na, and Liu Fei with a sweet smile, Fu Ao seemed to see his master, and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Brother Lei Na, Brother Yao Sheng, and Miss Liu Fei, long time no see, I wonder how Brother Liu Qing is doing?"
Liu Fei had a sweet and calm smile on her face, and said softly: "Cousin Liu Qing is doing well. He is cultivating for this year's Strong Ranking List competition and has no time to come out."
Hearing about the Strong Ranking List competition, Fu Ao was stunned and said in surprise: "There are still more than half a year before the competition. Brother Liu Qing has already started preparing so early!"
Yao Sheng approached Xiao Yan with a gloomy smile and said, "I said, I, Yao Sheng, won't let you have a good time."
"What's wrong? Is your nose better, so you're thinking about your mouth this time?" Xiao Yan flicked his sleeves and said lightly.
Yao Sheng's face suddenly darkened, and he pointed at Xiao Yan, laughing in anger: "Okay, you really have the ability. My hands have been itching for a few days. I'll see if you can still be so tough without the favorable terrain."
As Yao Sheng's words fell, a powerful aura of a seven-star Dou Ling suddenly burst out from his body. The strong pressure made some of the students on the side couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What a strong aura!"
"Yao Sheng has actually reached the seven-star Dou Ling. He truly deserves to be a strong person ranked seventeenth on the Strong Ranking List!"
At this moment, a soft, boneless hand gently grasped Xiao Yan's tightly clenched hand. Xiao Yan gently looked at Xun Er beside him, and Xun Er nodded.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly. The two had already understood each other, and then looked at Yao Sheng and said: "I, Xiao Yan, on behalf of Xiao Hall, formally declare war on you cat and dog gangs. Seven days later, at the Inner Academy Duel Plaza, no matter how many people you bring, I will accept it!"
...
At this time, in a spacious and bright huge room, more than a dozen old men were sitting scattered around. Under the soft light, one could clearly see the badges on their chests, which were special badges that only elders were qualified to wear.
Although the room was large, the atmosphere was slightly dull. After a long time, an old man with gray hair sitting in the first seat coughed lightly, taking the lead in breaking the silence in the room. His old voice slowly echoed in the room: "I think you have all noticed that in the past few days, the Fallen Heart Flame has started to become a little unstable again."
Hearing his words, the other elders frowned. From their expressions, it could be seen that the Fallen Heart Flame had gradually become a big problem in their hearts.
"After observing for a period of time, I found that the fluctuations emitted by the Fallen Heart Flame are much more intense than before, and from the emotions it emits, it is also becoming more and more violent. The seal set by the Dean requires more and more time to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame." The old voice still said to himself: "Looking at this situation, I am afraid that it will have a major backlash within the next year. If it is not handled well, it will be a great trouble, and may even cause a catastrophe for the Inner Academy."
"Shall we join forces to strengthen the defense again? If it really doesn't work, let's notify the Dean. If the Fallen Heart Flame really erupts and breaks through the seal, those desperate people in the Black-Corner Region will probably rush over to snatch it with red eyes. Although our Inner Academy is located in the deep mountains, it is just not far from the Black-Corner Region in the north. That Medicine Emperor is searching everywhere for news of Strange Flames." An old man pondered.
"The defense must be strengthened, but the Dean said that he was going back to the clan, and it has been more than ten years since he left. There has been no news, and no one knows where he is now." Great Elder Su Qian slowly shook his head. If the Dean was still here, the Fallen Heart Flame would naturally not be a concern.
After a moment of silence, Su Qian suddenly raised his head and cast his gaze at an old man in the corner, and said, "Elder Liu, is the riot of the Fallen Heart Flame that day related to the Strange Flame possessed by Xiao Yan?"
Elder Liu, who had met Xiao Yan once, hurriedly got up and respectfully replied: "It should be. It is certain that there is a connection between Strange Flames. The Fallen Heart Flame should have only appeared to confirm Xiao Yan's existence, and then quickly returned."
Su Qian nodded slowly and said, "Not long ago, Xiao Yan cultivated on the sixth floor for a day and a half. Not only was he not afraid of Fire Poison, but he could even absorb the violent Strange Flame energy around the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower."
!!!!!!
The elders present all showed surprise. The energy in the tower contained very fierce Fire Poison. Not to mention absorbing it, even staying in the tower for a long time would cause Fire Poison to enter the body.
Xiao Yan, a Dou Ling, could actually absorb it so wantonly!
Truly terrifying.
Su Qian's aged voice sounded slightly low, "Alas, who would have thought that a Fallen Heart Flame would allow my Inner Academy to rise, and now a young fellow who's not even twenty actually possesses this wondrous object alone. It truly makes one envious and jealous."
"Elders, if you encounter this young fellow, give him as much convenience as possible. Perhaps, when the Fallen Heart Flame erupts in the future, we will have to rely on his strength. We must not underestimate the energy of a Strange Flame. Such a wondrous object, born from the spirit of heaven and earth, possesses destructive power. If we are not careful, I fear the Inner Academy will face a calamity of destruction." Great Elder Su Qian shook his head and sighed.
"Yes!" The dozen or so elders below, who were greatly feared by the Inner Academy students, stood up and responded respectfully.
After everyone in the room had disappeared, the Great Elder, who was wrapped in a black robe, slowly stood up. As he stood straighter, his body became more and more illusory. By the time he had completely stood up from the chair, his body had strangely disappeared from the room.
They didn't know that Xiao Yan was very cunning and wished the Fallen Heart Flame would erupt sooner.
Before long, news of the gang war between Xiao Yan's Xiao Hall and the alliance of more than a dozen old student gangs spread throughout the Inner Academy.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and directly covered all the Fire Energy costs for all the new students of Xiao Hall to enter the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower for these seven days, allowing them to quickly improve their strength during these seven days.
The entire Xiao Hall entered the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower in teams to improve their cultivation. Only Xiao Yan, because he had just improved by one star, did not plan to enter the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower, but began to practice Dou Techniques.
"Aaaah!!!"
Meow meow meow!!
"Damn, what the hell is this? Can this really be practiced!" Xiao Yan's throat was almost hoarse, his voice a little raspy, but instead of a dragon's roar, it was just ghostly wails.
Xiao Yan sat on the ground, panting, picked up a pot of water chilled with Ice Spirit Cold Spring from the ground, and gulped it down. Instantly, an icy coolness moistened and soothed his burning throat.
Xiao Yan had left the Inner Academy and ran to the vast forest outside to practice Dou Techniques for seven days. But there wasn't even a shadow of the Ancient Dragon's Roar's entrance.
If Xiao Yan hadn't been clever and concocted some medicinal liquid to protect his throat, he estimated that he wouldn't have mastered the Ancient Dragon's Roar, but his voice would have gone hoarse first.
Xiao Yan picked up the scroll, his mind sank, and his Soul power read the contents of the scroll.
The Ancient Dragon's Roar scroll not only recorded the Dou Qi circulation route and the method of merging Dragon Qi and Dou Qi, but also a very realistic scene of Soul memory.
Inside, one could see a dragon coiled on top of a mountain, its dragon scales emitting a trace of purple-golden light under the sunlight. A pair of dragon wings covered the sky, and the dragon's body was as long as a mountain range, with half of its body hidden in the void. Only the void could accommodate such a creature.
The Void Ancient Dragon seemed to have been provoked by something. Suddenly, its dragon eyes opened, and it let out an earth-shattering, soul-stirring roar towards the distance.
