At this time, Han Feng had been using the [Fallen Brahma Heart] for a long time. His entire temperament was completely different from back then.
He had the arrogance of a banished immortal descending to the mortal world, and an indifference isolated from the world.
"This is just a usage of the Fallen Heart Flame. You two seniors don't need to worry," Han Feng explained with a smile.
The two elders, Qian and Bai, nodded.
Although his temperament had changed a lot, listening to his tone, there wasn't much difference from the Han Feng of back then.
He was still so humble and polite.
"Elder Han, what realm are you at now? Why can't I see through it at all?" Bai Lie couldn't help but ask.
He was at the peak of the nine-star Dou Ancestor realm, and the next step was the Dou Venerate realm. Yet he still couldn't see through him.
Could it be that Han Feng's realm was already above his?
Han Feng smiled lightly. With a clench of his hand, the spatial power wrapping the Library Pavilion began to distort.
"I was lucky enough to break through to Dou Venerate."
Hearing this, the two elders, Qian and Bai, instantly froze in place, motionless.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Han Feng began to reinforce the spatial barrier of the Library Pavilion, making it even stronger.
The two elders gradually came back to their senses, and their gazes towards Han Feng became extremely different.
Dou Ancestor and Dou Venerate. A one-word difference, but a world of difference.
The two had worked hard for so long and still hadn't broken through, while Han Feng went out for a few years and came back as a Dou Venerate.
They vaguely remembered that when they first met Han Feng, he was just a Dou Emperor, right?
It was too discouraging.
Qian Mu and Bai Lie looked at each other and tacitly clasped their fists in a salute.
"Qian Mu."
"Bai Lie."
"Congratulate Elder Han on breaking through to Dou Venerate!"
Han Feng quickly reached out to help the two up.
"Two seniors, this is too much for this junior."
Qian Mu and Bai Lie lowered their arms and shook their heads.
"It has nothing to do with seniority. Since you are an elder of the academy, you deserve this salute."
"We watched you go step by step from Dou Emperor to Dou Ancestor, and then to Dou Venerate. We really didn't expect to meet such a brilliant person like you."
"Speaking of which, the two of us have been marching on the spot."
Speaking of this, Qian Mu and Bai Lie smiled bitterly.
To witness the growth of a legend with their own eyes, but their own limitations made them feel doubly bitter.
Han Feng comforted them, "You two seniors are in your prime. You still have plenty of time. Why rush?"
The two elders nodded silently.
In fact, they also had their own plans and secret preparations. The probability of breaking through to Dou Venerate in the future was not small.
It was just that people are afraid of comparison.
Once compared, the mentality easily becomes unbalanced.
Even Qian Mu and Bai Lie, seeing Han Feng's breakthrough experience, would feel shaken. Should they go out and train too?
Staying in this Library Pavilion all the time was comfortable, but it also lost some sense of urgency.
...
Forget it, forget it.
We're getting old. It's better to be safe.
Qian Mu thought to himself.
Bai Lie, on the other hand, looked at the invisible flowing flames on Han Feng's body, his hands itching.
"Elder Han, how about we have a spar?"
The three had known each other for a long time, but they had never fought. They had only seen Han Feng use a large-scale fire lotus to repel the lightning tribulation.
Qian Mu and Bai Lie knew that Han Feng's combat power could not be measured by common sense.
Bai Lie had long wanted to spar with Han Feng. He had had this thought the last time they met.
But due to the gap in realms, he was embarrassed to bully a junior.
So he thought he'd wait a bit longer.
As a result of this waiting, Han Feng's realm surpassed his own and he became a Dou Venerate.
Now it was fine. Bai Lie's concerns disappeared, and he could spar with Han Feng.
Han Feng looked at the fighting intent in Bai Lie's eyes and nodded.
It's just a spar.
"Let's fight!"
Black flames ignited on Bai Lie's body. The scorching Dou Qi caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.
"Xian'er, Qing Lin, go watch with Senior Qian Mu over there."
Han Feng said to the two girls behind him.
Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin nodded and followed Qian Mu to an open space on the side to watch the battle.
Qian Mu raised his hand and erected a spatial wall to protect them.
"Thank you, Grandpa Qian Mu."
The two girls thanked him.
"You're welcome."
Qian Mu smiled kindly.
These two little ones must have a close relationship with Elder Han. To reach Dou Grandmaster and Dou Master at such a young age, they are outstanding.
In the open space ahead.
Han Feng and Bai Lie stood opposite each other.
The momentum Bai Lie had accumulated reached its peak. Black flames wrapped his whole body, like a black ferocious beast.
"Elder Han, in front of you, I won't hold back."
"Let me see the strength of a Dou Venerate!"
Boom!
Bai Lie pushed off with his hind legs, shooting out like a sharp arrow, leaving a black afterimage in the air.
Han Feng's expression was calm as he slowly raised his left hand.
The ferocious attack struck instantly. Han Feng accurately blocked Bai Lie's fist.
A circle of airwaves spread out, bending the trees in the surrounding forest.
The corner of Bai Lie's mouth curled up. He quickly withdrew and then attacked violently again.
Bang!
The same outcome. Han Feng effortlessly blocked the move, his movements light and his expression relaxed.
Bai Lie didn't believe in evil, and his attacks became more and more fierce.
Soon, the scene in the field became abstract. Bai Lie's figure turned into a black line, constantly advancing and retreating. Han Feng, on the other hand, seemed to have never moved, standing in place all the time. From time to time, a loud bang erupted beside him, and waves of air surged layer by layer.
Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin watched the scene in front of them with difficulty. Even with the Jade Snake Three Flower Pupils operating to the extreme, they couldn't see the movements clearly.
Qian Mu sighed.
He once again saw the gap between a Dou Ancestor and a Dou Venerate.
Bai Lie's most adept close combat was so vulnerable in front of Han Feng.
In the open space, both of them restrained their combat, not erupting with particularly large aftershocks.
After hundreds of rounds of attacks, Bai Lie stopped in place dejectedly, his chest heaving violently, breathing rapidly.
"Hah, hah!"
"I'm not fighting anymore."
Bai Lie dispersed the black flames, looked at Han Feng, and said seriously, "Elder Han, can you attack me once? Let me see the power of a Dou Venerate."
Han Feng nodded and even gave a reminder beforehand.
"Are you ready?"
Bai Lie swallowed. Just as he nodded, a palm covered his entire field of vision.
Han Feng's palm stopped in front of Bai Lie, just a tiny bit away from hitting his face.
Bai Lie stopped breathing, his eyelids trembling slightly.
Han Feng withdrew his hand and returned the salute.
"You let me win."
Bai Lie completely relaxed his tensed breath and let out a long sigh.
"I lost, completely lost."
Qian Mu walked over at this time, looked at Bai Lie's sorry state, and smiled, "How about it? Are you convinced?"
"Convinced, utterly convinced!"
In the battle just now, apart from not using some trump card Dou Skills, Bai Lie had already unleashed his limit power.
But he still hadn't caused much pressure on Han Feng.
Bai Lie also realized more clearly that this junior, Han Feng, had far surpassed them.
"Why don't you go and try too?"
Bai Lie looked at Qian Mu, who was gloating on the side, and said grumpily.
"Don't, I was already convinced by Elder Han."
Qian Mu waved his hand to avoid getting burned himself.
"Elder Han, with your current strength, I'm afraid you have no rival in the entire Black-Corner Region. What do you want to do next?"
Qian Mu asked.
With the vision of a senior, Qian Mu could see that Han Feng was not willing to be ordinary.
Such a brilliant and amazing person was rare on the entire continent. He couldn't really just be an elder at Jia Nan Academy and be done with it, right?
"There are indeed some things I want to do."
Han Feng answered.
"I want to manage the entire Black-Corner Region."
The hearts of the two elders, Qian and Bai, stirred. Why did this sound familiar?
It seemed that the headmaster had said the same thing back then.
Manage the Black-Corner Region...
And then he suppressed an era.
The two elders looked at Han Feng in front of them, their expressions slightly trance-like.
"Good."
"Go ahead and do it."
——————————
Han Feng bid farewell to the two elders and headed for the Inner Academy with Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin.
Having gained the recognition of these two, Han Feng's subsequent actions would be smoother.
After all, Jia Nan Academy was also an important member of the Black-Corner Region.
Han Feng's foundation in the Black-Corner Region was only a few decades old, far less deep than a large force like Jia Nan Academy that had existed for hundreds of years.
To better coordinate the resources of the entire Black-Corner Region, talent was essential.
Relying on those Asuras outside the Black-Corner Region who killed all day long, the loyalty was not high. It would be much better to cultivate them from the academy.
In the future, he would open a few more branches of Jia Nan Academy to attract more talented people.
The resources of the entire continent were still dispersed, so there was no problem of shortage in any aspect.
Han Feng had to think carefully about these things. It would be best to entrust them to a reliable person.
In his mind, the dignified face of Elder Su Qian appeared.
This was a good candidate.
Compared to those two otakus, Qian and Bai, who stayed in the Library Pavilion all day.
Su Qian was obviously much more shrewd and capable.
Although his cultivation was a bit lower, talents were also divided into combat types and non-combat types.
Both were indispensable.
Unknowingly, Han Feng had arrived at the outskirts of the Inner Academy.
Looking down at this moment, the spatial gates surrounding the Inner Academy were completely trivial.
Han Feng opened them with a wave of his hand, entered, and then restored them with a wave of his hand.
"Finally back!"
Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin looked at the familiar campus and stretched.
This place also held unforgettable memories for them.
"Let's go."
Han Feng took the two directly back to their original small courtyard.
Because no one had lived there for a long time, there was a lot of dust.
Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin quickly got busy, doing a big cleaning of the whole house.
A stream of light flew across the sky. Su Qian landed in front of the small courtyard, looking at the white-clothed figure standing inside, slightly shocked.
"Elder Han?"
Han Feng turned around and looked at the visitor.
"Elder Su Qian, long time no see."
Su Qian looked at Han Feng in a daze.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, you've changed a lot."
"A lot of things have happened over the years, so it's normal to change."
Han Feng said.
"And you, how have you been recently?"
Su Qian sighed, "Sigh, I'm just the same old way, always in the Inner Academy. Unlike you guys, all running outside."
"You're the Great Elder, after all. The responsibility is heavy."
Han Feng laughed.
"By the way, where is Zi Yan? Where is she?"
"You don't know?"
Han Feng was stunned.
"She said she wanted to go to the Snake-People Tribe with Medusa to play. She came to report to me and ran off. She hasn't come back yet!"
Su Qian said grumpily.
That girl was brought back from the forest by him. He taught her human language and knowledge bit by bit, worrying a lot.
As a result, she's wild now and can't be controlled.
Han Feng smiled awkwardly.
"I'll go there in a few days and bring her back."
Elder Su Qian's tone sounded like he was blaming him for abducting Zi Yan.
Han Feng indicated that he didn't really want to take the blame. When he sent them back, he wanted Zi Yan to stay in Jia Nan Academy for a while longer. Who would have thought that the two of them would run off together.
Fortunately, they had notified Elder Su Qian. Otherwise, if he asked today and Su Qian was stunned again, Han Feng wouldn't know how to explain.
After confirming that Han Feng had returned, Su Qian quickly took his leave.
He was a conscientious Great Elder. Now happened to be the time for new students to join the Inner Academy, so he was very busy.
"Master, we've finished cleaning!"
Lin Xian'er ran out and said to Han Feng.
"So fast?"
Han Feng walked in and found that his room had taken on a new look.
He sat on the edge of the bed, regulating his breath and concentrating.
Lin Xian'er quietly closed the door and continued to work with Qing Lin.
Inside the room, Han Feng exhaled a long breath.
He had just checked the situation of the search in the Central Plains, and it was not satisfactory.
Maintaining the [Fallen Heart Flame] state for a long time was to ensure the normal operation of the entire search system.
After checking once like this, Han Feng's soul power consumption was a bit large, so he was very tired at this moment.
Enduring his drowsiness, Han Feng circulated the Soul Mantra. After stabilizing the fluctuations in his soul, he lay on the bed and began to rest.
When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Han Feng climbed out of bed and rubbed his head.
Although he was still a bit weary, it was much better.
Han Feng went out and came to the front yard.
Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin were cultivating in their respective training rooms.
They didn't know that Han Feng had slept in today, otherwise they would probably be shocked.
Han Feng found a quiet place to sit down. Suddenly remembering something, he took out the Spirit Nurturing Gourd from his storage ring.
Almost forgot about you.
The silver gourd contained its own space, could be large or small, and contained Spirit Nurturing Liquid with excellent effects.
Han Feng poured out a drop and placed it in his palm.
The liquid appeared as a flowing silver, its spiritual charm restrained.
Han Feng condensed his soul power into a needle and pierced into the spirit liquid.
The moment of contact, waves of spiritual qi quickly injected into Han Feng's soul sea.
Seizing the opportunity, Han Feng circulated the Soul Mantra, refining the suddenly surged spiritual qi.
After a full quarter of an hour, this source of spiritual qi slowly dissipated.
Han Feng opened his eyes, and a spiritual brilliance flashed in his pupils.
Good stuff. A drop of Spirit Nurturing Liquid was worth half a year of his bitter cultivation.
Even for cultivators who did not know the Soul Mantra and would waste most of the spiritual qi, there would still be a lot of residue.
In this way, just by absorbing the spirit liquid, there was hope for a rapid breakthrough in the soul realm.
No wonder the Chen family diluted it ten thousand times to sell.
If others really discovered that this thing could be produced continuously, let alone a Dou Venerate, probably even a Half-Saint expert would be tempted.
Han Feng held the silver gourd and squeezed it gently. Another drop of spirit liquid flew out.
Han Feng swallowed it in one gulp and continued to refine.
Striking while the iron was hot, he prepared to make up for the deficit in his soul in one fell swoop.
About half an hour later, the soul fluctuation on Han Feng's body suddenly shook.
"Phew!"
Exhaling a long breath, the fatigue in Han Feng's heart was swept away.
It seems that in the days to come, I can't do without you.
Han Feng hung the silver gourd on his waist and slowly stood up.
