Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 387 You're a really nice person!
Hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a sense of relief rising in his heart.

Fortunately, he returned in time after the banquet. If he had stayed for a few days like the other group members, he probably would have missed the outbreak of the Fallen Heart Flame!

At Canaan Academy, after each ranking competition, the top ten students are qualified to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and undergo the tempering of their bodies with the Origin Heart Flame.

Generally, the Primal Heartfire will be opened to the top ten students within two or three days after the competition ends.

However, the intensity of this ranking competition was too high. Even Zi Yan, who had always held the top spot, was defeated by the youngest Dou Huang in the history of the academy who suddenly appeared.

This has led to even fiercer competition for rankings.

Many trainees suffered extremely serious injuries as a result.

Even one of the top ten students was seriously injured by Zi Yan and it took him more than twenty days to fully recover.

For this reason, the Origin Heart Fire Body Tempering was postponed for nearly a month.

It was not until Xiao Yan returned from his inner universe that it was finally opened to the students.

Looking at the members of the Panmen Sect who were either whispering or looking at him with reverence, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and led them away from the courtyard, heading towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Because Xiao Yan's strength in this timeline is too great, the prestige and power of the Panmen sect naturally far exceed those in the original story.

Therefore, on the way to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, many more members of the Panmen Sect arrived one after another and joined the main force behind Xiao Yan.

The group's grand procession through the inner courtyard naturally caused quite a stir.

But when those people saw the black-haired youth leading the group, their initial slight dissatisfaction vanished instantly, replaced by a look of realization and envy as they gazed at the arrogant Panmen members behind them.

"Is that Senior Xiao?"

"He is indeed strikingly handsome and has an impressive presence!"

"Nonsense, he's the youngest Dou Huang in the history of our Canaan Academy!"

"Still at Canaan Academy? If you ask me, there has never been such a young Dou Huang in the entire Dou Qi Continent, has there?"

"But then again, I heard that the Heart Flame Body Tempering technique is most effective for Dou Ling and Dou Wang. Xiao Yan has already advanced to Dou Huang, I wonder if it will still be effective..."

The onlookers chatted and whispered among themselves.

But even as they talked, they made sure to step aside and clear a path for Xiao Yan.

Only one slightly shorter figure was different. Seeing the crowd disperse, she went straight to meet them, hands on her hips, glaring at Xiao Yan at the front and saying:

"Xiao Yan, don't think that just because you're stronger than me I won't dare to beat you up!"

"Speak! Why didn't you see me when I went to Panmen to look for you before?"

Of course it's because I'm not here!
Xiao Yan thought to himself, but he still smiled slightly and reached out to ruffle the little girl's light purple hair.

"What, you've finished your snacks?"

"Finished!"

Zi Yan stretched out her hand confidently, clearly indicating that Xiao Yan was giving her some more.

Xiao Yan glanced at her fair little hand and shook his head, saying, "We agreed before that it's cash on delivery. I'll help you refine the spiritual herbs into pills, and you have to pay me back!"

"I've already given it to you!"

Zi Yan said unhappily, "If you don't believe me, ask them if I've already handed it over to Panmen."

Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned to look at Xun'er. Seeing her smile and nod, he looked embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you..."

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, took out a pill, and handed it to Zi Yan. Then he took out a jar of magic candies produced by the immortals, stuffed it into Zi Yan's arms, and patted her head with a smile, saying:
"Since I was in the wrong first, consider this jar of pills as my compensation to you!"

"Don't worry, as long as you continue to help me find medicinal herbs, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits!"

Looking at the magical candy that shimmered with light in her arms, Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she said happily:

"Not bad, not bad, you're a really nice person!"

"..."

Xiao Yan's lips twitched, looking somewhat amused and exasperated.

He shook his head, then immediately started walking, leading everyone forward.

After receiving the snacks, Zi Yan followed Xiao Yan obediently, hugging the shimmering plastic jar while her eyes gleamed as she kept popping candies into her mouth.

With the top two on the Power Rankings joining Xiao Yan's team, the Panmen Sect's momentum has naturally become even greater.

Not long after, Xiao Yan led everyone to the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Meanwhile, top-ranked students such as Liu Che and Lin Xiuya were already waiting there.

Looking at the tall, imposing young man, Lin Xiuya and the others had somewhat complicated expressions.

It wasn't that they were bad-tempered; it was simply that Xiao Yan was too extraordinary. While they hadn't even broken through to the Dou Wang level, this guy had already crossed two major levels, leaving them far behind.

The youngest Dou Huang!

Lin Xiuya sighed inwardly, a mixture of envy and jealousy welling up within him. But he quickly shook his head, banishing these complex emotions, and turned to look at the academy elders standing in mid-air ahead.

The leading elder, Su Qian, glanced at Xiao Yan, who arrived last, then looked around and said calmly:
"Now that everyone has arrived, I will not waste any more words!"

"The top ten on the ranking list, follow me into the tower. The rest of you, wait here. If anyone dares to trespass into the tower today, they will not be allowed to cultivate there for at least six months!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, many of the onlookers couldn't help but shrink back.

Without saying much, Su Qian waved his hand and slowly opened the heavy tower door.

Xiao Yan squeezed Xun'er's hand, then got up first and headed towards the tower.

Zi Yan followed closely behind, clutching the jar. Judging from her engrossed eating, she was clearly more interested in the candy beans in her arms.

As everyone followed Su Qian into the tower, the originally bright light suddenly dimmed considerably.

Su Qian slowed her pace slightly, approached Xiao Yan, coughed lightly, and then asked via telepathy:
"The Lord of the Palace has not been seen recently. Could it be... that he has already departed?"

"That's it."

Xiao Yan nodded and replied in a telepathic message, "However, before he left, my elder brother informed me that he was only away temporarily and would probably be back soon."

Will they come back?
Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously said, "That's good!"

Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, then blinked and asked curiously, "Elder, from what you're saying, it seems you really hope that my elder brother can come back as soon as possible!"

"..."

Su Qian's lips twitched, and after struggling for a moment, he sighed and transmitted his voice, "Fine, you are still a Dou Huang powerhouse from my Canaan Academy, so I won't hide this from you."

At this point, his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Three days ago, the Fallen Heart Flame at the bottom of the tower suddenly erupted. I joined forces with the elders of the academy and exerted all my strength to reseal it."

"But because the heart fire broke out so suddenly, we didn't have time to seal off the aura, and it accidentally spread out."

"You know how precious a strange fire is. If a powerful expert passing by senses its aura..."

Su Qian didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.

Xiao Yan said thoughtfully, "So, you plan to use your elder brother's influence to scare away those with ulterior motives..."

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face, and said, "But aren't you afraid that our eldest brother might also be interested in this?"

"Not afraid."

Su Qian calmly said, "Anyway, being afraid is useless. If the Palace Master wants it, just give it to him. Given his status, forcibly taking something of the level of a Strange Fire, he should at least give some compensation, right?"

So single?
Seeing Su Qian's attitude, Xiao Yan was both amused and exasperated.

But then, a thoughtful expression crossed his face, and he realized that Canaan Academy didn't seem to value the Fallen Heart Flame as much as he had previously thought...

That makes things much easier!
With a firm resolve, Xiao Yan immediately followed Su Qian forward.

Before long, the group arrived at the bottom of the tower and saw an underground world filled with lava.

At the center of this underground world is a wide plaza, where many jade platforms stand. Ten of these platforms have already lit up with white light, forming ten light shields.

Su Qian stopped and turned to look at the students behind her, beginning to explain the precautions for the Heart Fire Body Tempering.

Before long, the ten students took their first steps and stepped onto the jade platform, ready to be tempered by the primordial heart fire.

Meanwhile, Elder Su Qian and the other academy elders waited around, protecting the students inside the light barrier while carefully maintaining the seal on the Fallen Heart Flame.

Time passed by, second by second.

The vast majority of students who underwent the burning of the heart fire felt the pain that penetrated to the bone marrow, and couldn't help but show various ferocious and painful expressions.

Of the ten, only Xiao Yan remained calm and composed, as if the pain that was unbearable for the others did not exist at all.

In fact, for Xiao Yan, the burning of the primordial heart fire was not painful at all.

The reason is simple: Xiao Yan has already consumed many high-level pills and rare treasures.

With the enhancement of these rare and precious materials, his physical strength has reached an extremely terrifying level.

Even if one day in the future all his fighting spirit is suddenly gone, he can still contend with a Dou Huang or even a Dou Zong with just his physical strength!
With such an extraordinary physique, coupled with the Heart Fire that Lin Yu had specially created for him, he was naturally able to easily withstand the burning of the original Heart Fire.

However, pain itself is part of the process of refinement.

Without the pain of calcination, the effects of tempering the body with heart fire will be greatly reduced.

Xiao Yan didn't really care about this situation, because he now held countless resources from all the heavens and myriad realms in his hands, and he didn't care about this opportunity that countless students coveted.

Seeing that the Heart Fire was not having any effect, he simply gave up on body tempering and began to focus on burning the internal battle qi.

It must be said that this was indeed the right choice.

Because under the tempering of the inner fire, his battle qi, which had become somewhat weak due to the soaring of his realm, began to solidify at an extremely pleasing speed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed and immediately focused all his attention on continuing to refine his fighting spirit.
