Chapter 246: Smart Infiltration of Jia Nan Academy's Sealed Layer
As Su Qian and the other elders stood in shock at the blood red Fire Lotus emerging from the depths, a calm yet familiar voice rang out behind them.
Just as Su Qian was about to order the Inner Academy students to evacuate, he halted his words and turned around.
A young figure slowly approached.
It was none other than Wu Tian, who had just come down from the eighth floor.
"Post to my social circle?"
"Social circle? What's that?"
The elders were completely confused.
Was this some legendary Dou Technique?
Wu Tian's presence didn't shock them Su Qian had already informed them that Wu Tian had free access to the Sky Blazing Qi Refining Tower.
And in times of crisis, he was expected to assist them against the Fallen Heart Flame.
However…
Was he seriously planning to use his "social circle" as a solution?!
Su Qian turned to Wu Tian, his hands usually folded behind his back now ready for battle at any moment.
"Wu Tian, you're here!" He exhaled sharply. "Did you stop me because you have a solution?"
Wu Tian glanced at his masterpiece below and nodded in satisfaction.
Honestly
The lotus shape he had created really did resemble the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Turning to Su Qian, he smiled slightly.
"You misunderstand, Grand Elder. I can't stop it yet."
Su Qian nodded. That was expected.
Wu Tian's current cultivation wasn't strong enough to deal with such immense energy on his own.
But then
"However…"
Su Qian's eyes lit up immediately.
"However, what?!"
Wu Tian's face turned serious.
"I can't suppress it completely, but…"
"I can absorb the heat it releases."
"If its energy weakens, sealing it should become much easier for you."
The elders: "…WHAT?!"
The sheer power of the eruption had been too much for even them to seal properly
And yet, Wu Tian was saying he could absorb it?!
How was that even possible?!
The heat alone was enough to instantly vaporize a Dou King.
Even if Wu Tian could absorb a little, he would burn alive before he could make a difference.
But Su Qian
Unlike the others remained silent for a moment.
Then, he nodded.
If it were anyone else, he would have dismissed them outright.
But Wu Tian had already absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame's energy once before.
If he had done it once, then why not twice?
At this point
There was nothing to lose.
"Fine." Su Qian's voice carried weight. "When the next eruption comes if it breaks through the seal again step in and absorb the energy. We'll reapply the seal immediately."
Wu Tian nodded.
And so he waited.
Outside the Sky Blazing Qi Refining Tower
Two hundred meters away, a large crowd of Inner Academy students watched anxiously.
Su Qian's command had been clear
Stay at least 200 meters away for safety.
But no one had actually left the Inner Academy
Because fleeing would mean disgrace and exile.
These were geniuses, not fools.
A true genius doesn't flee
They observe and learn.
Purple Crystal Wings fluttered as Zi Yan's small figure floated in the air.
Her violet ponytail swayed, her expression unusually serious.
"That thing is getting violent again…"
"And this time it's even stronger. If we stay here, we're gonna die!"
Without hesitation, she grabbed Han Yue and Hu Jia by the wrists, and with a light flap of her wings, she disappeared into the sky.
The students: "…"
Lin Xiuya and the others glanced at each other.
If even Zi Yan had run away
Then what the hell were they still doing here?!
Lin Xiuya and Bai Cheng exchanged bitter smiles.
"I swear… sometimes I wish I was born with wings too."
"Yeah…"
Too bad they weren't.
So instead
They ran like hell.
Deep Inside the Tower
"BOOOOM!"
A terrifying tremor rocked the ground.
The entire tower quaked violently.
Students leaped across rooftops like agile locusts, fleeing the area as fast as possible.
And below
Within the sealed chamber
A blood red surge of heat erupted from the abyssal depths like a bolt of lightning.
Even stronger than before.
"SEAL IT!"
Su Qian roared, his hands glowing with boundless Dou Qi, forming a barrier to block the fiery explosion.
The other elders channeled their own Dou Qi, fueling Su Qian's defense.
And then
In an instant
A figure stepped forward.
Wu Tian.
Without hesitation, he walked straight into the flames.
The elders: "…???"
That was suicide!
Su Qian had barely lasted 20 seconds under that heat
Yet Wu Tian was walking into it willingly?!
But then
A miraculous sight unfolded.
A three colored radiance pulsed around Wu Tian's body
And the raging magma halted one meter from his skin.
As if
It had encountered its natural predator.
The elders' eyes widened in shock.
"He… he's actually absorbing it?!"
And before they could even react
Wu Tian's footsteps didn't stop.
He walked right to the abyssal edge
Then
Without hesitation
He jumped in.
The elders: "…"
The Fallen Heart Flame, deep below:
"YOU CRAZY BASTARDS… I'M NOT EVEN THE ONE ATTACKING!!!"
