"Fallen Heart Flame? Is it the Fallen Heart Flame that is known as a cultivation cheat?" Xiao Li was very excited. He did know that the Inner Academy had the Fallen Heart Flame.
Moreover, this Fallen Heart Flame was one of his goals. The Fallen Heart Flame was not only known as a cultivation cheat, but also had the characteristic of burning Souls, which was especially effective against those skilled in the Dao of Soul!
It was especially effective against the strange creatures of the Hall of Souls.
"Exactly. As you probably know, our Canaan Academy's Dean Mang Tianchi is a Dou Zun expert. When he was traveling the continent back then...
He discovered the Fallen Heart Flame in this area, and knowing its effects, he suppressed it and founded Canaan Academy. The reason why the Inner Academy allows so many Geniuses to soar is...
Because of this Fallen Heart Flame. However, this Fallen Heart Flame has always been suppressed, but it has developed sentience, which makes it very hostile towards our Canaan Academy. It has been accumulating strength, wanting to break through the Seal.
Now, the Fallen Heart Flame is a ticking time bomb for the Academy. If you have the ability to subdue it, it would also be considered removing a hidden danger for the Academy. Of course, you must have the ability to subdue it first." Qian Mu explained.
When he was the Grand Elder, the Fallen Heart Flame would riot every now and then, keeping him extremely busy. However, at that time, the Fallen Heart Flame's sentience wasn't high, so he found it easy to suppress.
Later, Bai Lie succeeded him as the Grand Elder, and the Fallen Heart Flame's riots became more and more outrageous. Although Dean Mang Tianchi had returned a few times and strengthened the Seal, below the Fallen Heart Flame was a large lava lake, providing it with an endless supply of energy.
Therefore, under the Fallen Heart Flame's repeated Impacts, the Seal became weaker and weaker. Sooner or later, the Fallen Heart Flame would break out of the Seal and wreak havoc in the Inner Academy.
Dean Mang Tianchi's intention was that if any student had the ability to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame, then they should be allowed to do so. Keeping it there was too unstable.
"Junior understands!" Xiao Li was incredibly pleased. Since The Two Elders Qian Bai had agreed to him absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, that was excellent.
Xiao Li knew that this Fallen Heart Flame was the different fire of the Heavenly Fire Venerable. The Heavenly Fire Venerable was still down there, and at his remains, there was also an embryonic Fallen Heart Flame, enough to solve the problem of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.
Win-win!
"Go, and first properly improve your strength. This old man can see that you have accumulated a lot of medicinal power in your body. Once you come of age, this medicinal power will become your aid.
Although this medicinal power will make your cultivation advance extremely quickly, raising your Realm too fast is also not good. This Fallen Heart Flame can solve that problem very well." After Qian Mu finished speaking, he and Bai Lie disappeared. As expected of Peak Dou Zong experts, their speed was truly fast.
Xiao Li returned along the original path. His speed was very fast, and he quickly caught up with Hu Gan and his group. Everyone then left.
"Alright, you have received your rewards. Now, take two days to rest. In two days, you will need to enter the Inner Academy. By then, you will have plenty of reasons to complain.
Let me remind you, if new students want to avoid being bullied by the older students when they first enter the Inner Academy, your fists must be harder than theirs. Of course, students who can enter the Inner Academy are basically the top performers from the Outer Academy, and their cultivation talent is not weak.
Coupled with the Inner Academy's unique cultivation methods, it will probably be quite difficult for you new entrants to catch up to their progress.
All in all, cooperate with each other, otherwise, it won't be pleasant. Xiao Li, I'd like to specifically remind you that your strength is indeed very strong, but in the Inner Academy, there are quite a few Dou Ling-level students.
Especially, the number of Peak Dou Ling students exceeds two digits, and some students have even reached the half-step Dou King level, just half a step away from Dou King." As the Vice Dean of the Outer Academy, Hu Gan naturally had to remind them, especially Xiao Li.
Xiao Li's achievements at such a young age were indeed something to be proud of, but his cultivation years were insufficient, and he still lacked a lot in terms of experience.
"Understood. I have already discussed with Senior Brother Liu that I will first Cultivate in the Inner Academy, but if anyone is ignorant, I will not show mercy." Xiao Li was not in the mood to play games with them now; he wanted to Cultivate diligently!
If he couldn't get the Fallen Heart Flame, he would have to turn the Tagor Desert upside down to find the Green Lotus Core Flame.
The 19th ranked on the strange fire ranking list, and the 14th ranked. Xiao Li didn't care about such names. After all, except for the top three different fires which were unique, other different fires should be pretty much the same.
The strength still depended on the person. The main thing was that the Fallen Heart Flame, this cultivation cheat, was too appealing. It was like leveling up even while lying down, which suited Xiao Li's desire to take it easy.
'Inner Academy, here I come!'
...Two years later,
Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, Advanced Cultivation Room,
A young man in green robes sat there, radiating a remarkable Dou Qi.
The man was wearing a green robe, with a well-proportioned physique, neither particularly robust nor thin. His face was not exceptionally handsome, but he possessed an indescribable special aura. His black hair cascaded over his shoulders.
Whoosh—
"Whoosh—a Five-star Dou King! This Dou Ling Pill was not wasted." This young man in green robes was Xiao Li. He had been in the Inner Academy for two years.
Time really flew. When he first entered the Inner Academy, there were indeed many ignorant people who came to cause trouble, mostly some two or three-star Dou Lings who came to collect protection fees, but they were all beaten away by Xiao Li.
Afterward, Xiao Li, finding it troublesome, followed Liu Tianjiao to the Liu Gang. Liu Tianjiao's cousin was a strong expert ranked fourth on the Strong Ranking, named Liu Tianlong.
It's worth mentioning that both brothers came from Tianhuang City in the Central Region of the Central Continent. Tianhuang City was dominated by two great Families, one being the Liu Family and the other the Cheng Family. The Liu brothers were direct descendants of the Liu Family.
Such Families were even more powerful than an Empire in the Northwest Continent. To be able to dominate a city in the Central Region of the Central Continent, there must be Dou Zong experts in the Family, and perhaps more than one. There were definitely many Dou Huang experts.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh. The Central Continent was truly the center of the Fighting Qi Continent. Dou Zong experts, rarely seen in the Northwest Continent, were truly everywhere in the Central Continent.
Xiao Li broke through and became a Dou King expert a little over a year after entering the Inner Academy, and then secured the top position on the Strong Ranking with his strength.
After Xiao Li entered the Inner Academy, he fought dozens of battles, big and small. Except for one defeat and one draw, he won all the others.
The only time Xiao Li lost was when he underestimated a little girl in white clothes, and then he was punched by that little girl. Fortunately! It was a minor injury! He broke two ribs and was bedridden for half a month.
The draw was when Xiao Li was a Four-star Dou Ling. He fought with the person ranked second on the Strong Ranking because Xiao Li had beaten his younger brother, and he wanted to vent his anger. The two fought to a draw.
"Xiao Li! Xiao Li!"
A tender, clear, and pleasant voice came, and then the door of the Advanced Cultivation Room was opened. A little girl in white walked in.
The little girl seemed to be no older than twelve or thirteen. Her light purple long hair fell to her waist, and her cheeks were extremely fair and tender, like a sculpted jade figurine.
Inner Academy Strong Ranking Second, Zi Yan.
"I knew you'd be hiding in this uncomfortably hot place! Hurry! I've finished my pills, refine another batch!" Zi Yan said with a grin.
"Finished? That was over two hundred pills! You finished them in less than seven days? Are you kidding me!" Xiao Li's voice rose significantly.
Zi Yan lowered her head somewhat awkwardly: "It's not that I felt like I was about to Breakthrough, I just always felt like I was still a little short on energy."
"Alright. I'll be busy again."
