Chapter 78: Attention from Liu Qing!

Chapter 78: Attention from Liu Qing!

Heart Fire, just refined from Dou Qi and restored to the size of a thumb, was once again infused with a massive amount of Dou Qi, turning into a basketball-sized ball.

Xiao Ze couldn't help but chuckle as he witnessed this scene.

Usually, it was only Heart Fire burning others, so when had it ever suffered such humiliation?

Being passively subjected to the infusion of Dou Qi from the roots of the Origin Tree, it struggled to accommodate the massive Dou Qi and silently tempered itself.

The two roots of the Origin Tree had clear roles: one infused the massive Dou Qi, while the other absorbed the purified Dou Qi after tempering.

After the third expansion and contraction of Heart Fire, all the energy it contained was completely depleted and disappeared without a trace.

The two golden roots waved in dissatisfaction in the void.

Only after confirming the disappearance of Heart Fire did they reluctantly re-root themselves in the void.

Just as Xiao Ze was observing the situation in the void space, the surrounding students involuntarily made way for a majestic figure.

"Li Qing, aren't you usually immersed in the arena?"

Elder Liu noticed Li Qing's arrival and couldn't help but comment.

This was also a student who had been in the limelight last year.

"Elder Liu, after winning ten consecutive battles in the arena last time, I gained some insights and wanted to break through in the Refining Tower."

Li Qing politely replied.

The aura he exuded was already taking shape, attracting the attention of the surrounding students.

"Another breakthrough? If I remember correctly, Li Qing was already a three-star Fighter before, right?"

"Can't compare to him. He's only been in the inner court for a year, his cultivation speed is truly terrifying!"

Li Qing ignored the admiration of the surrounding students and instead focused his gaze on Xiao Ze and his group.

"Are these the newcomers who have been making waves in the inner court these past few days?"

"Indeed."

Elder Liu replied, but his gaze lingered on Xiao Ze with some surprise.

Among the four of them, only Han Yue appeared relatively normal.

Like other ordinary students enduring the roasting of Heart Fire, they all had stiff bodies, flushed faces, and looked pained.

But the other three were somewhat strange.

The girl in white skirts had alternating blue and purple hues on her face, which Elder Liu could tell wasn't caused by the roasting of Heart Fire but rather some kind of venom.

On the other hand, the girl in light blue dresses radiated a faint glow on her face, without any signs of roasting from Heart Fire. It seemed she had a method to resist it.

However, what puzzled Elder Liu the most was Xiao Ze.

There was no trace of abnormality on him, as if Heart Fire had never ignited inside him.

If it weren't for Xiao Ze's steady aura, Elder Liu would have thought that something unexpected had happened to him.

At this moment, Li Qing also noticed the situation of the four of them.

He was also surprised by Xiao Ze's abnormal behavior.

He had experienced Heart Fire roasting last year himself and knew how difficult it was to remain calm when facing the flames ignited inside the body for the first time.

Even the situation displayed by the girl in light blue dresses seemed more normal than Xiao Ze's.

Because any discerning person could see that she was using a special method to resist the roasting of Heart Fire.

Just as Li Qing was about to ask, he saw Elder Liu also looking puzzled.

He knew that even the elder had probably never seen such a situation before.

Some observant students around also noticed Xiao Ze's abnormality and began to quietly discuss it with their companions.

After seeing that Heart Fire had been completely consumed, Xiao Ze quickly checked the harvest.

The Dou Qi inside the Origin Tree had become purer.

At the same time, the Origin Tree had also grown a little taller.

After all, it was just a weak Heart Fire, containing only a small amount of energy.

For Xiao Ze, who was already a Fighter, it wasn't very effective.

"No residual violent energy... This means I can practice in the Refining Tower for a long time without worrying about side effects!"

"By directly drawing Heart Fire into the void space, I don't have to worry about accidentally burning my organs."

"At the same time, with the roots of the Origin Tree inserted into Heart Fire, the efficiency of tempering Dou Qi is also higher..."

Xiao Ze quickly summarized his findings.

He felt that practicing in the Sky Incineration Refining Tower had many benefits for him.

Soon, Xiao Ze withdrew his consciousness from the void space and slowly opened his eyes.

Looking around, he confirmed that he was the first one to break free from the roasting of Heart Fire.

"You're always so unique, kid."

Elder Liu couldn't help but smile as he saw Xiao Ze opening his eyes.

"Did you experience the benefits of enduring Heart Fire?"

Elder Liu knew that Xiao Ze must have comprehended the method of using Heart Fire so quickly after breaking free.

"As expected, Heart Fire's roasting couldn't trouble Brother Xiao Ze."

Xiao Xun'er approached, her eyes filled with admiration.

The serene smile of the girl made the surrounding students stare in awe.

Even Li Qing, who was standing behind Elder Liu, couldn't help but linger his gaze on Xiao Xun'er for a moment.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xun'er only had eyes for Xiao Ze.

Approaching Xiao Ze, Xun'er naturally stood close to him.

"When do you think Little Doctor Immortal will finish?"

"Little Doctor Immortal? Based on the situation, it should be within five minutes."

Xun'er glanced at Little Doctor Immortal's condition and said confidently.

Hearing Xun'er's words, Elder Liu couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the sharpness of this girl's eyes.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Little Doctor Immortal's body trembled slightly, and she slowly exhaled a thin mist.

Seeing Xiao Ze and Xun'er standing together, she smiled bitterly.

"You two are too quick, aren't you?"

Xiao Ze shrugged, and Xun'er followed suit, causing Little Doctor Immortal to roll her eyes.

She also naturally walked over and stood on the other side of Xiao Ze.

For a moment, Xiao Ze felt the surrounding gazes becoming hostile, as if needles were pricking his back.

However, Xiao Ze paid no attention to the unfriendly gazes around him.

After all, both Xun'er and Little Doctor Immortal had exceptionally outstanding appearances.

And yet, they both chose to stand by his side after waking up. It was only natural for Xiao Ze to receive such treatment.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Han Yue finally broke free from the roasting of Heart Fire with the help of Elder Liu.

"You held on for seventeen minutes, not bad, little girl."

Elder Liu said with a smile.

Of course, he didn't compare Han Yue to Xiao Ze and the others.

After all, these three were clearly... not normal!

"Let's go, I'll show you around the Sky Incineration Refining Tower."

Elder Liu said to the four of them now that they had all recovered.

The surrounding students dispersed.

Li Qing gave Xiao Ze a deep look before heading down to the next floor.
