Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Underground Black Tower



A strange and violent energy fluctuation suddenly rippled across the square.

The first person to sense this heat wave was Xun Er. Soon after, Instructor Ruo Ling in the judges' stand sensed it too. Their expressions changed dramatically almost at the same moment.

Their gazes shifted abruptly and finally rested on the young man in the center of the square, standing proudly in a black robe while holding the Heavy Xuan Ruler. The source of this violent energy fluctuation was precisely him!

"This guy... just how many more tricks does he have up his sleeve?!"

A breath of slightly scorching air was inhaled deeply into Xiao Yan's lungs. Under the gaze of all present, he slowly stepped forward and raised the Heavy Xuan Ruler above his head, his arms bulging with veins that resembled writhing snakes.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, a two-meter-high pale red ruler light shot out!

"Deflecting Water Mirror!" A graceful figure immediately leaped into the arena.

As Instructor Ruo Ling's words fell, a large amount of pale blue Dou Qi burst forth from her palm. Finally, an oval-shaped blue water mirror formed in front of her, protecting the petrified Lu Xing behind her.

The water mirror was more than a meter thick. It resembled a water city wall rather than a mere mirror, as it protected the two of them.

Boom! Hiss, hiss, hiss!!! The ruler light from the Flame Splitting Tsunami collided with the water mirror, instantly vaporizing the water and filling the entire square with a thick white mist.

The mist obscured everyone's view, making it impossible to see what was happening in the center of the square.

"What the hell just happened?"

"Such a powerful fire attribute Dou Technique, it must be at least a Low Xuan Class, right?"

"I think it feels more like Intermediate Xuan Class."

"It's so impressive that he has cultivated a Xuan Class Dou Technique to this extent at such a young age!"

Some sharp-eyed students had already noticed that Instructor Ruo Ling had intervened, which essentially meant Xiao Yan had won.

Shortly after, Instructor Ruo Ling suddenly waved her hand with a whoosh and the surrounding white mist dissipated, revealing the situation inside the arena.

Lu Xing was naturally unharmed after being protected by Instructor Ruo Ling. On the other hand, Xiao Yan was extremely pale as he forced himself to stand, gasping for breath.

It was only after swallowing a Qi Recovering Pill that he finally managed to catch his breath. 'Using the Flame Splitting Tsunami before reaching the Dou Master might not be a good idea; it completely drained all the Dou Qi in my body.' The consumption of a Di Class Dou Technique was truly terrifying, emptying his entire reserve of Dou Qi.

Furthermore, even after Xiao Yan had exhausted all his Dou Qi, the ruler light he released was only two meters high, not even one-tenth the power of a Di Class Dou Technique.Cheêck out latest novels on n/o/ve/l/bin(.)c/o/m

"Xiao Yan ge-ge, are you okay?" Xun Er and Xiao Yu both hurriedly ran into the arena to check on Xiao Yan.

Time flew by, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye. The news of Xiao Yan defeating a Xuan class student spread far and wide, accompanied by various rumors.

Xiao Yan paid no attention to the rumors swirling around the Outer Academy. His focus was solely on his cultivation as he waited for news from Instructor Ruo Ling.

'Finally,' Xiao Yan thought as his powerful Spiritual Strength detected Instructor Ruo Ling's arrival. He immediately stopped his cultivation and hurried out of his dormitory.

Instructor Ruo Ling gave Xiao Yan a blank look, "You are quite eager."

Xiao Yan shrugged and defended himself, "I was eager to see Instructor Ruo Ling."

"Where is Xun Er? Aren't you two usually inseparable?"

"Xun Er is in closed-door cultivation. Instructor Ruo Ling, you didn't just come to check on the students' cultivation progress, did you?"

Instructor Ruo Ling replied somewhat irritably, "Alright, alright, let's go. We have to take a griffin to reach the Inner Academy, and we have to return to the Outer Academy today. After

all, you're not an Inner Academy student yet."

The Inner Academy and the Outer Academy were not much different overall. The only significant difference was the transition from credits to Fire Energy, with all students having the same goal: to enter and cultivate in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Xiao Yan followed Instructor Ruo Ling for about ten minutes until they arrived at a sunken area. There was a massive black tower buried deep underground. Only the top of the tower

could be seen above the surface.

A tower buried underground?!

This extremely strange scene intensified the astonishment on Xiao Yan's face. He murmured,

"So this is the so-called 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.' I didn't expect it to be buried

underground."

Instructor Ruo Ling approached an elderly man dressed in simple clothes and respectfully said, "Elder Liu, this is Xiao Yan, who was approved by the Outer Academy three days ago to experience the wonders of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower."

Elder Liu opened his eyes to glance at Xiao Yan and slowly nodded, "Young man, you're quite impressive. It's wise of you to want to experience it in advance. Very visionary."

Xiao Yan touched his nose clumsily, as this had not been his intention at all.

"Go ahead with confidence. I will watch over you."

Xiao Yan cupped his fists in acknowledgment, "Thank you, Elder Liu." Instructor Ruo Ling asked with a smile after Xiao Yan entered the black door, "Elder Liu, how

long do you think this kid can last?"

Elder Liu stroked his beard and laughed, "An 8-star Dou Practitioner entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is just looking for trouble. He won't last more than a minute."
