Chapter 70: Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower

Xiao Ming, who was running, finally stopped at an open space, and at that moment, there was a large group of noisy students in front of him.

'Isn't this too many people?'

Looking at this large group of people, who were a bunch of black dots like ants, Xiao Ming couldn't help but have a look of helplessness.

'This Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is so popular that there are so many people that it's hard to see inside, will it be hard to sneak in, or do I have to queue here honestly?'

As soon as Xiao Ming's thoughts fell, he heard a large number of wind-breaking sounds, which sounded from not far behind him.

Turning his head, he discovered that nearly dozens of figures were flickering from afar.

The speed of these people was extremely fast, and in less than ten seconds, the people moved over the branches of several large trees along the road.

After watching them for a while, each of them set out to land, with a large number of silhouettes swooping down from the heights and finally sneaking directly into the front of the group of black dots in an extremely domineering manner.

Xiao Ming, who saw this scene, could not help but say, "Let's sneak in, there are more and more people."

With that, he headed towards the center of the crowd.

"Hey, who was it?"

"Holy cow, why are you so strong!"

...

With his excessive physical strength, Xiao Ming finally made his way to the front of the crowd with ease.

Finally, he stopped at an open space.

With a smaller crowd in the way, the first thing that appeared in Xiao Ming's line of sight was a sunken ground. Within that sunken ground, an extremely large black tower was buried deep in the ground, with only the tip of the tower and a dark entrance showing on the surface.

'This is Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and Fallen Heart Flame is inside it.'

Xiao Ming's gaze carefully scanned the floor of the tower above the ground and suddenly realized that the space around the tower seemed to have a vague sense of distortion as well as wrinkles.

"A spatial lock? Jia Nan Academy has really made a great effort for the sake of Fallen Heart Flame, this spatial lock not only encloses Fallen Heart Flame's aura to prevent it from being coveted but also suppresses Fallen Heart Flame's disturbances, so to speak. Only this spatial lock is also suppressing Fallen Heart Flame less and less, and it is unknown how far the strength of Fallen Heart Flame's Fire Spirit has reached."

The energy contained in the Fallen Heart Flame was definitely quite a lot, so if the Fallen Heart Flame Origin was devoured now, he might be able to reach the Dou King realm.

And the "spirit" inside him might also undergo a qualitative change by swallowing this fire spirit that clearly had a hint of intelligence.

But hey, such things could only be thought of.

Whether he was the disciple of the head of the Alchemy Department or a certified third-tier alchemist of Jia Nan Academy's Alchemy Department, he could be considered a member of Jia Nan Academy.

Even if he were to go running with such a status to First Elder Su Qian to say, "There are two Heavenly Flames under the magma, give me the big one," there was no way he would believe him either.

So, Xiao Ming could only look at the Fallen Heart Flame and drool at this moment.

When his strength increased in the future, he would then look for the opportunity to devour this Heavenly Flame.

Xiao Ming's attention had been focused on the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and since he was so young, his arrival had attracted the attention of many people.

"Who is this kid, is he a genius brought by one of the elders? He is too young, shouldn't he first enter the Outer Academy and wait for his strength to rise to the Dou Master realm before entering?"

"I don't know, maybe he is the grandson of some elder."

"Don't talk nonsense, he is the champion of this year's new students, the relentless student who defeated all the senior students who participated in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition."

"!!!!!"

Some of these people knew Xiao Ming.

But others still didn't know him.

Under the introduction of those who had seen Xiao Ming's strength, those who did not know Xiao Ming quickly learned of his battle record, and then looked at him with looks full of surprise and fear.

Aside from the surprise, there were also people who revealed a look of greed.

Having stolen fire energy from 50 senior students how rich was this Xiao Ming now?

Noticing the various gazes coming from around him, Xiao Ming couldn't help but frown.

Then he returned to normal, he had long since become accustomed in the Outer Academy to these kinds of gazes and there was no need to worry.

Time passed slowly as he waited.

DONG!

Suddenly, an ancient bell echoed mightily in the area, and as the bell rang, the noisy voices in the area stopped.

"Open the tower!" As the ringing of the bell ended, an old voice seemed to speak from inside the tower.

Shortly after the elder's voice was heard, the closed black door slowly opened with a creaking creak and a faint breath of fire came from it, causing the temperature of the sky and earth to rise slightly.

"Enter the tower!"

The old voice rang out again, and several sounds of wind breaking could be heard, as one after another, many human figures shot out towards the tower door.

Xiao Ming stood behind one of them, with his feet raised, and immediately stepped forcefully into the darkness behind the door.

Just as Xiao Ming's feet landed on the ground after passing the tower door, his body suddenly solidified, his face was as white as coal, and there was a faint white mist, with a chi chi sound like that of roasting meat, seeping out from inside his body.

Xiao Ming stood motionless at the entrance of the tower, and some of the senior students who had planned to enter from the back were not surprised to see this scene, instead, they laughed merrily and said, "Students who have just entered the Inner Academy, dare to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for the first time without the slightest precaution, he deserves it...."

"I heard that he was able to rob 50 senior students of their fire energy, his strength must be good, and I wonder how long he can last under the Heart Flame."

It seemed that these people already knew that Xiao Ming would encounter this situation after entering, but they deliberately did not say anything, to see Xiao Ming make a fool of himself.

However, wanting to see Xiao Ming make a fool of himself was not the same as wanting to kill him, and someone soon said.

"Go report to the elders inside the tower, this is his first time entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, if there is no intervention from the elders, I'm afraid he will be burned directly from the inside out."

...

"This is the wisp flame of Fallen Heart Flame."

Xiao Ming's mind was immersed in his body as he looked at the strange wisp flame that had suddenly and inexplicably appeared from within his body.

This wisp flame was so strange that it was something out of the ordinary, for no other reason than the fact that this wisp flame, surprisingly, was invisible and shapeless.

Since this invisible flame appeared, the high temperature emanating from it caused Xiao Ming's internal meridians, bones, muscles, and other organs to begin to tingle slightly.

Xiao Ming knew that this was a precursor to being burned by the high temperature, and if this continued, he feared that, before long, his body's meridians would be rendered useless by this flame.

Once his meridians became unusable, it would undoubtedly be the end of his life as a Dou Qi cultivator.

The situation was critical, but Xiao Ming did not panic at all, because he knew the solution.
