The Battle Through Heaven
Meet For The First Time
One could only see a faint white mist enveloping the vast interior of the ancient tower. On the edge of the white mist stood the figure of an old man breathing quite heavily.
At this moment, Elder Liu's face quickly changed between different colors. Sometimes, he was surprised, sometimes he was worried, appearing very beautiful to look at. More than half of the robes he wore had also been burned. The smell of burning skin came from his hair. From the entirety of his appearance, this Elder, who had quite a high position in the Inner Academy, was currently reduced to a miserable state.
At this moment, another older student, who had moved aside to avoid the flames within the hall, finally recovered from the previous panic. However, by the time they recovered and threw their gazes towards the area where the explosion had erupted, they coincidentally saw the pitiful-looking Elder Liu. Soon, their hearts, which had just recovered, were once again reclaimed by ignorance.
There was a very strict requirement on one's strength to be able to become a guardian tower elder in the Inner Academy. Therefore, all the Elders inside the tower were, without exception, people with immense strength.
Although there were some surprising and interesting geniuses in the Inner Academy who were able to stand shoulder to shoulder with some Elders after undergoing difficult training, these people were definitely extremely rare existences. Moreover, each and every one of them had achieved such a feat after training in the Inner Academy for four to five years. However, at this moment, Elder Liu had ended up in a miserable state at the hands of a new student, who had just entered the Inner Academy less than three days ago. This scene was basically more shocking and unbelievable compared to Xiao Yan leading the new students to rob the older students.
The shock on Han Yue's face continued for a minute before it was finally gradually withdrawn. His pupils swept over to a place shrouded by white mist. There was an additional strangeness in his originally cold and indifferent gaze. This new student is very interesting.
”*Batuk*..”
The silence in the ancient tower was suddenly broken by the sound of coughing. Elder Liu's gaze stared intently at the piercing cluster of white mist. He immediately lowered his head and cleaned his clothes, which were burnt until they were in tatters and smiled as he said, ” What a great Xiao Yan. No wonder the geezers are so secretive when they mention you. That's actually because of that. You are truly a fellow blessed by heaven. There is not a single Elder in this tower who does not want to get this thing .. ’
It was natural that/that older student in the tower would not understand Elder Liu's words. But they are able to understand something. This Xiao Yan seemed to have something mysterious that even the Elders wanted.
Elder Liu waved his sleeve gently. He had just spread a white-colored fog that spread in front of him when two footsteps gently transmitted out from within the fog. This caused him to stop the movement of his hand and stare intently towards the mist.
The sound of footsteps echoed within the ancient tower. Everyone rushed over to turn their gazes towards the fog-covered area, where the sound of footsteps originated. No matter how one put it, the powerful strength that Xiao Yan had displayed earlier was enough to cause them to forget about his identity as a new student. They did not know that/it this power was not controlled by Xiao Yan and it was not the energy that erupted from the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ in an act to protect its owner. If they let Xiao Yan control the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ by himself, and once again unleashed a power that could force Elder Liu this way, he said, the chances of him failing would be more than ninety-five percent.
As the sound of footsteps within the white mist became increasingly audible, a faint human figure slowly appeared. Finally, the figure stepped out from the white mist and appeared under everyone's gaze.
A black-robed young man carried a huge black ruler who was as tall as himself. His left hand carried Wu Hao, who seemed to have fainted already. He frowned slightly as his gaze slowly swept over the surrounding crowd. With the exception of a few who were not weak, the older students, whose gazes collided with him, had mostly become evasive due to the shock and admiration they felt from the previous explosion.
’’ Tsk tsk, to really be able to rely on your own strength to wake up from the first burning of Heart Flame. Xiao Yan, you are the first person in several years to do so. ” Looking at Xiao Yan, who had already returned to his normal state, Elder Liu was startled and immediately sighed.
” And you are? ” Xiao Yan opened his mouth and asked somewhat doubtfully as he looked at the old man, who appeared in a very miserable state in front of him.
” Ke ke, I'm Elder for the first level of ‘Lustrous Sky Qi Reviewer Tower.’ You can directly call me Elder Liu. ’Elder Liu laughing. The kind of harsh grumpy he used on the other older disciples was completely absent from his words. Just this treatment that Xiao Yan had received caused the surrounding students to mutter to themselves. Inside the ‘ Sky Refining Tower,’ and even the entire Inner Academy, the position of Elder was extremely high. In this place, none of the students dared to go against what the Elder said. Of course, this was with the exception of some extraordinary people. This was because it was very possible for these extraordinary people to take the Elder position, and become the same level as them. Within the Inner Academy, even the Elders would also have to embrace the strong people to their camp taking into account their future.
After all, the Elders in the Inner Academy were not entirely from the same faction. Wherever, fighting is inevitable. Maybe it was because of the power, maybe it was because of the advantage or maybe it was because of something else …
” Oh, Elder Liu, what happened? ” Xiao Yan nodded as he suddenly understood. He observed Elder Liu's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little strange as he asked.
” Uh... nothing. Accidents happen while controlling the fire carelessly. ” Eyebrow Elder Liu could not help but twitch a few times when he was asked this question by the instigator. Immediately, he laughed dryly and shook his head. He did not expect that/that Xiao Yan was pretending to be a fool. The terrifying flames that had erupted from Xiao Yan earlier might have been extremely frightening, but in the eyes of Elder Liu, who had been playing with fire for his entire life, he understood that/that it was just an autonomous counterattack from ‘that thing.’ It was not really Xiao Yan's fault.
”He is fine. It was just that he was a little exhausted from being roasted by the Heart Flame. He'll be fine after resting for the night. ’’ Elder Liu smiled and explained.
” Baked by Heart Flame? ” The foreign words caused Xiao Yan to knit his brows once again.
’Ke Ke, You're new to Inner Academy. Therefore you do not know some rules of ‘Tower Distillation Sky Blazing Sky.’ If you have time, do you want me to tell you about them? ’’ Elder Liu smiled and asked.
” In that case .. Elder Liu, thank you very much. ” Xiao Yan was a little hesitant when he heard this, but still agreed to it. As a newcomer, he indeed had to gain an understanding of the most mysterious place within the Inner Academy. This is to facilitate the new students of ‘Pan Gate’ to get in touch with opportunities as soon as possible, it quickly increased their overall strength and allowed them to have sufficient qualifications to survive in the Inner Academy, where the strong gathered.
”It's okay. Here lies my duty. ’’ Elder Liu waved his hand. His gaze turned towards the students observing from around him and his smiling face could not help but sink in. He shouted, ” Why are you all still here? Aren't you going to go practice as soon as possible? If you feel you have enough training time, I can help you move on from your position. ’
Hearing Elder Liu's cry, the surrounding students quickly shook their heads. After which, they quickly rushed towards the various places within the ancient tower. They were afraid that if they were late, they might actually get their position, which they earned with great difficulty, exchanged by the former.
Looking at these older students, who were acting proudly in front of the new students, becoming as obedient as the lamb in Elder Liu's hands, Elder Liu, Xiao Yan could not help but feel that/it was a little funny. However, on top of him feeling that/it was funny, Elder Liu's weight in his heart had increased a lot. If not for him holding true authority within the Inner Academy, those more arrogant students would definitely not be so docile.
’Ke Ke, these bastards are all very haughty. If you weren't a little louder, no one would listen to you. ’’ Elder Liu smiled and said to Xiao Yan after sending the people around him.
Xiao Yan smiled but did not voice any opinion regarding this.
” Come, come, Xiao Yan. I'll introduce someone to you. ” Elder Liu's gaze swept out once at this ancient tower level before he pulled Xiao Yan towards a woman in a silver-colored dress. From her appearance, she was Han Yue who had the qualifications to enter the sixth level of the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’ to practice.
’’ This Han Yue. He has entered the Inner Academy for three years and can be considered as your senior. Ke ke, his strength was also unusual. In addition, he formed the ‘Moon Spirit’ faction in the Inner Academy. His strength is not weak. There were some factions that dared to lure him in the Inner Academy. ’Elder Liu smiled as he introduced her after arriving in front of the woman dressed in silver.
’’ Oh? ’’
Surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's face when he heard Elder Liu's introduction. His gaze weighed on this woman called Han Yue. During their first encounter, the iceberg snow lotus that was cold like a cold and indifferent disposition left him with a somewhat deep impression. The most surprising thing was the strength of this woman. Although he could not see the other party's strength with his naked eye, due to his powerful Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan was able to faintly sense that/it was this silver-haired woman much stronger than Luo Hou!
” This inner academy does have hidden dragons and tigers. It was really unexpected that/that the other party, as a woman, would have this kind of power. Looks like this place ... indeed is not an easy place to mess together. ’’Xiao Yan bitterly laughed in his heart. However, Xiao Yan did not reveal anything about his appearance. He placed Wu Hao, whom he carried, onto the ground before extending his hand and smiling as he said, ’It's nice to meet you, Senior Han Yue.’
Seeing Xiao Yan extend his hand towards Han Yue, Elder Liu could not help but come to a halt. Knowing the character of the latter, she naturally understood that this/that woman, who had always had an extreme obsession for hygiene, had some refusal to come into contact with a man's skin. Even when fighting with the others, he would use Dou Qi to wrap himself firmly. Having such an obsession with cleanliness actually caused people to become speechless.
However, without waiting for Elder Liu to voice an obstruction, the woman called Han Yue hesitated for a moment before launching a white wrist, like the jade of a silver-colored arm. After which, he gently held Xiao Yan's hand under Elder Liu's stunned gaze. When they came into light contact and parted, a cool sound, like a spring flowing on a snowy mountain, clearly emanated.
”Nice to meet you..”
When several gazes from this ancient tower shot out from all directions and saw their hands making contact, they were all shocked. Suddenly, a seething and jealous gaze focused on the black-robed young man, which caused them to gnash their teeth.
