130: Hu Qian's words

When Flame Soul Separation Technique was mentioned, Hu Qian's expression became slightly serious.

Lin Xiu raised his hand and summoned the Azure Demon Flame. “Headmaster, if the Fire Spirit you are referring to is this, then yes, I condensed it using the Flame Soul Separation Technique.”

The small Azure Fire bull drooped its head, drowsy, seemingly digesting the energy it had just consumed.

“You are the second person capable of condensing a Fire Spirit using the Flame Soul Separation Technique, but I wonder…”

Hu Qian's gaze shifted from the Azure Demon Flame and looked towards the north of the Inner Academy. “Cultivate this Fire Spirit well. If that situation ever arises in the future, it might be an opportunity for you.”

“Headmaster, what kind of opportunity?”

Lin Xiu had some guesses in his heart, but he hoped to get an accurate answer from Hu Qian's mouth.

However.

Hu Qian just shook his head. “I shouldn't interfere too much with matters of the Inner Academy, so it's not convenient for me to say too much.

But since you displayed the Flame Soul Separation Technique today, and Elder Su personally witnessed it, it won't be long before all the Elders of the Inner Academy know.

Perhaps after some more time, they will tell you themselves.”

He took a deep breath, placed his right hand on Lin Xiu’s shoulder, and squeezed it firmly. “Take good care of Hu Jia. If anyone bullies her, don’t think that just because you're in the Inner Academy, I can’t do anything to you!”

“Headmaster, aren’t you aware of how much I keep my promises?”

Lin Xiu smiled.

“Huo Lan truly found a good student… Alright, I’m leaving. Next, Cultivate well, improve your strength, and don’t forget to Cultivate the Fire Spirit. The stronger you are, the closer that opportunity will be to you.”

After Hu Qian finished speaking, he condensed Dou Qi wings, flapped them, lifted off the ground, and flew towards the distant sky.

Lin Xiu waved his hand, and only retracted his gaze when he could no longer see him.

“The Flame Soul Separation Technique was originally created to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame sealed in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

But ever since its creator, no one has successfully Cultivated it. Now that I’ve revealed it, are they planning to restart their original plan?”

Turning around, Lin Xiu walked towards the Inner Academy, pondering, but soon shook his head again.

“There’s no need to expend this effort. The Fallen Heart Flame’s unrest is becoming more frequent, and within one or two years, it will attempt to break out of the tower. If the Elders are truly interested, they will definitely approach me proactively.”

With this thought, Lin Xiu took out his violet flame crystal card, deep in thought.

The violet flame crystal card is the highest Rank crystal card, and the eighth floor of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower is also the last floor students can enter.

As for the ninth and tenth floors, only the Elders can enter them.

Logically speaking, given the preciousness of the violet flame crystal card, Elder Su would certainly not give it out easily.

He chose to give it to me as a reward, coupled with the Headmaster's hesitant expression just now.

Could this be a signal?

...On the other side.

Elder Su led Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, and a group of new students, arranging their dormitory courtyards.

After taking care of everything, he left in a hurry, heading straight for the depths of the Inner Academy.

He passed through a corridor and only stopped in front of a somewhat noisy door.

“Without any reason, why suddenly call a meeting?”

“Elder Qing, you should be in charge of this year’s Fire Energy Hunting Competition for the new students right now.”

“Just say what you need to say quickly. The Fallen Heart Flame has been getting more and more violent recently, and the bottom of the tower can’t be left unattended for too long.”

“What major event is it that you’ve called all of us here for?”

Listening to the voices coming from inside the room, Elder Su placed his hands on the door and gently pushed it open.

Inside, figures sat on chairs, all looking towards the doorway.

Elder Su walked in and closed the door.

“Elder Su, what exactly is the matter? Why so mysterious? Elder Qing insisted that we couldn’t speak until you arrived.”

An Elder asked.

“Don’t be impatient. The reason I’ve gathered everyone here today is to resolve the Inner Academy’s biggest hidden danger.”

Elder Su smiled slightly, sat down in his seat, and scanned the faces of the slightly stunned Elders.

“Elder Su, are you referring to the Fallen Heart Flame? Has Old Dean returned, or has the Grand Elder come out of seclusion?”

In the silence, an Elder was the first to regain his composure, a look of joy on his face.

As he spoke.

A hint of joy and excitement appeared in the reddened eyes of many Elders present.

Canaan Academy was originally established in the Black-Corner Region, largely due to the Fallen Heart Flame.

Initially, the Fallen Heart Flame was not powerful, and the Seal left by Old Dean was enough to ensure it wouldn't cause any trouble.

But as so many years passed, the Fallen Heart Flame continuously absorbed flame energy, growing stronger day by day, and had repeatedly attacked the Seal.

And the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower is a place that ensures students can quickly improve their strength.

Every day, a large number of students Cultivate inside.

For this reason.

Out of consideration for the students' safety, Elders were assigned to guard the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Once the Fallen Heart Flame became violent, they would use their power to reinforce the Seal.

It was fine for a short period, but over a long time, constantly staying at the bottom of the tower where no sunlight reached.

Everyone would inevitably feel emotional.

Furthermore, constantly enduring the heart flame and the accumulated fire poison in their bodies was also a very troublesome issue.

“Neither.”

Elder Su shook his head.

The Elders' gazes immediately dimmed again.

“Then what did you mean by your words just now?”

An Elder frowned.

As far as he remembered, Elder Su wasn't the type of person to joke around with everyone.

“Let me speak then.”

Elder Qing saw that the Elders were about to lose their patience, so he took over the conversation.

He looked around at everyone. “This matter is related to this Fire Energy Hunting Competition. In this competition, there’s a student who possesses a different flame…”

“A different flame? That won’t solve the problem.”

“Exactly, the Fallen Heart Flame, at its full power, is comparable to a newly promoted Dou Zong. What can a student with a different flame do?”

“Are we supposed to wait for that student to grow up? He just entered the Inner Academy, he must be a Great Fighter by now, how long will that take?”

The Elders immediately erupted into a clamor.

Rather than placing their hopes on a new student, they might as well pray for Old Dean’s return or the Grand Elder’s emergence from seclusion.

By any measure, these two were more reliable than a new student.

“Sigh, look at all of you, what’s the rush? Can’t you let me finish speaking first?”

Elder Qing was a bit helpless but remained calm. He knew that these people’s impatience was somewhat related to the fire poison.

Seeing everyone quiet down and their gazes converge on him, he continued: “The student with the different flame is not the key. The real reason Elder Su and I called everyone here is another student who can deal with a different flame.

Do you know what method he used?”

What method?

The Elders exchanged glances, thinking that they weren't present at the time. Besides using Dou Qi and strength, was there any other special method?

“Is it… the Flame Soul Separation Technique?”

From a corner, a somewhat uncertain voice emerged.

Whoosh!

As soon as Elder Liu finished speaking, he saw figures turn around in unison, and pairs of eyes converged on him.

Elder Su and Elder Qing were also stunned, a hint of surprise and curiosity in their eyes.

A question spontaneously arose in both their minds.

Elder Liu usually guards the first floor of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, how did he know?

“Elder Su, Elder Qing, is what he said true? Is it really the Flame Soul Separation Technique? Has a student successfully Cultivated this Fighting Skill? And can he even deal with a different flame now?”

An Elder impatiently stared at the two, hoping for an answer.
