153: Heart fire forging the body, Lin Xiu's only chance

The night the Strong Ranking Tournament ended, a group of people came to Lin Xiu's residence, saying they wanted to celebrate.

Xiao Yan was also there.

The transaction between him and Lin Xiu was only missing the last wisp of flame.

That night.

Zi Yan, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, Lin Xiuya, and others gathered together.

Every one of them was a prominent figure in the Inner Academy now.

Lin Dun, who was busy in the kitchen, was filled with envy; Lin Xiu's life was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"It's a good thing I built a good relationship with Brother Xiu when he was still unknown, otherwise, how would I have the chance to cook for them here?"

Lin Dun thought to himself, feeling a bit smug.

Back in the dorm, everyone favored Xiao Ning's Xiao Family status and befriended him.

As a result, besides himself, they didn't even have a chance to enter the Inner Academy.

"Now, through Brother Xiu's connections, I've become familiar with Lin Xiuya and the others. In the future, when Xiao Ning and his group enter the Inner Academy, I'll still be able to surpass them."

The group ate and chatted until dawn before gradually dispersing.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er walked back together.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and these people all have excellent talent. Their future achievements won't be low. You should interact with them more. When we return to the Gama Empire, perhaps you can call on them for assistance."

Xiao Xun'er spoke softly.

"I understand that. I've already made an appointment with Lin Yan."

The Yunlan Sect was a thorn in Xiao Yan's heart, and he wanted to remove it at all times.

Especially after the news brought by his second brother when he came to Canaan Academy a while ago!

His eldest brother was crippled, and the Xiao Family was like rats scurrying around, hiding everywhere. He would definitely avenge this!

"It's good that Brother Xiao Yan has a plan. I might have to leave for a while."

Xiao Xun'er suddenly changed the subject.

As her words fell, Xiao Yan's footsteps abruptly stopped. He turned to look at her, "Where are you going?"

He had a look of astonishment and surprise.

"News came from home, and I need to go back for a trip."

Xiao Xun'er did not reveal the true reason.

In fact, her clan believed that since she had not yet obtained the Xiao Family key, the item was not in the Xiao Family, so they were not going to let her continue to wander outside.

"I will come find you! I will!"

Xiao Yan's eyes were firm.

From a young age, his father and the Elders' attitude towards Xun'er was enough to guess that there was something extraordinary behind her.

So, Xun'er didn't say, and he didn't ask.

Some things, if they could be said, Xiao Yan believed Xun'er would definitely not hide from him.

"Mm, Xun'er believes Brother Xiao Yan."

Xiao Xun'er's lips curved slightly, revealing a captivating smile... When Lin Xiu saw Xiao Yan again, it was three days later outside the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Next to Xiao Yan were Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, Han Yue, and others.

They were all among the top ten winners of this Inner Academy Strong Ranking Tournament.

According to the rules, they would go to the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower today to undergo Heart Fire Body Tempering.

"Why does Xiao Yan look a little unhappy? And where is Xiao Xun'er?"

Zi Yan, standing beside Lin Xiu, scanned the crowd, her gaze finally resting on the black-clothed young man at the very front.

Was Xiao Xun'er taken back to the ancient clan?

Hearing this, Lin Xiu was startled, and a guess formed in his mind.

He stroked Zi Yan's hair, "Do you remember what I told you? If something happens in the Tower, run out immediately without any hesitation."

"I know. I actually don't want to go to that ghostly place at all. It's so hot and uncomfortable."

Pushing Lin Xiu's hand away, Zi Yan's tone was a bit annoyed, "Don't keep stroking my head, I won't grow tall."

Lin Xiu smiled and didn't speak.

At this moment, Grand Elder Su Qian appeared. He stopped in front of Lin Xiu, "Why are you here today?"

A look of surprise was on his face.

Could it be that the Fire Spirit was fully cultivated and ready to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame?

"Greetings, Grand Elder. I specifically brought Zi Yan here."

After bowing, Lin Xiu then pointed to the person beside him.

"You girl, Heart Fire Body Tempering is good for you. So many people want to undergo it but don't get the chance, and you're still complaining."

Su Qian chuckled and reprimanded.

Zi Yan wasn't afraid of him at all. She rolled her eyes cutely and turned her head to the other side.

Seeing this, Su Qian showed a hint of helplessness and then looked at Lin Xiu, "How is the Fire Spirit doing now?"

"In a few more days, it should be almost ready."

Lin Xiu replied.

Following the Inner Academy's tradition, the Grand Elder should not stop the Heart Fire Body Tempering.

So he no longer vaguely pushed back the time.

Anyway, after this time, the Fallen Heart Flame would completely erupt, and this was his only chance to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Good, then after their Heart Fire Body Tempering ends, we'll begin. If we can resolve the hidden danger in the Tower, you will be an Elder of our Canaan Academy from now on."

Su Qian's smile became radiant.

Everything was as Lin Xiu expected. He did not call off this Heart Fire Body Tempering, waiting until the hidden danger was resolved to proceed.

Because after the last Fallen Heart Flame riot, Su Qian contacted the other Elders to reinforce the Seal of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

On top of the original foundation, they added a total of a thousand more Seals.

Su Qian believed that even if the Fallen Heart Flame rioted again, it would at most cause a tremor, and as for breaking through the Seal, it was certainly impossible.

And the tremor would not cause life-threatening effects to the Academy's students.

Leading Zi Yan, Su Qian walked towards Xiao Yan. He briefly spoke a few words to the group and then led them into the Tower.

Lin Xiuya and the others turned and waved to Lin Xiu, their faces showing unconcealable excitement.

Lin Xiu smiled in response.

He could understand Lin Xiuya and their excitement and exhilaration.

Heart Fire Body Tempering could increase the success rate of advancing to a Dou King, and they were all at the Peak of Dou Spirit, with Lin Xiuya even just a step away from Dou King.

Now that they had the opportunity, how could they not be excited?

"The Fallen Heart Flame knows that the Inner Academy is trying to deal with it, and it has even discovered my existence.

It has been quiet for a while, most likely accumulating power!

And Xiao Yan possesses an abnormal flame. The Fallen Heart Flame will definitely be able to sense the presence of the Azure Lotus Core Flame. To rapidly improve in a short time, it will surely be tempted to devour the abnormal flame.

Therefore, the Fallen Heart Flame will definitely go all out this time. It also knows that this might be its only chance.

But similarly, this is also my only chance.

Now, let's see who the mantis stalked by the oriole is!"

Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, quietly gazing at the Tower's top, which was only partially visible above the ground... Su Qian led the group directly to the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

In the crowd.

Xiao Yan secretly observed his surroundings. This was his first time descending to the bottom of the Tower, and the strict defenses around made it difficult to harbor any ill intentions.

Since Su Qian was right in front, Xiao Yan dared not communicate with his teacher casually at this time.

They arrived at the very bottom.

Initially, Xiao Yan diligently recorded the route, but after seeing one defense after another, he decisively chose to give up.

With such a strict level of security, even with the help of his teacher's power, it would be impossible to secretly take away the Fallen Heart Flame.

Following the instructions, everyone sat down on the jade platforms.

"Keep a close eye, don't let anything go wrong."

Looking at the flushed faces on the jade platforms, Su Qian instructed the two Elders beside him.

A gray-robed Elder said, "Grand Elder, the Fallen Heart Flame has been unusually calm lately. Perhaps it sensed our reinforced Seal and gave up on its own."

"No movement?"

Su Qian not only didn't feel happy but instead, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

An abnormal event must have a demon behind it!

For so many years, the Fallen Heart Flame had always been impacting the Seal. How could it suddenly give up?

Was it brewing something?

No! After this Heart Fire Body Tempering ends, immediately gather all the Elders and cooperate with Lin Xiu to take action against the Fallen Heart Flame!

Thoughts flickered in his mind, and Su Qian finalized his plan.
