From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

"Could it be that you gentlemen are unaware of..."

Before the white-robed elder could finish speaking, Zi Yan interrupted him impatiently: "Old man Hu, why are you blocking our way?"

"Zi Yan?"

After noticing Zi Yan's presence, the white-robed elder's lips twitched slightly as he said, "What are you doing here, you little brat? What are you up to now?"

Because Canaan Academy had long ago established a rule that outsiders are prohibited from flying into the area within a hundred miles of Canaan City at will; otherwise, it will be considered a provocation against Canaan Academy and an attack can be launched directly against it.

When Hu Qian sensed the aura emanating from the Wind God Winged Serpent, he thought it was some ignorant magical beast that dared to cause trouble at Canaan Academy. He never expected it to be brought by Zi Yan.

"Old man Hu, what do you mean by that? It makes it sound like I'm always causing trouble."

Zi Yan didn't want to lose face in front of Xiao Feng and the others, so she immediately put her hands on her hips and angrily shouted at Hu Qian, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll sue you for defamation!"

"..."

Hu Qian silently rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the alchemy department elders in the academy often complained to him about the theft of spiritual herbs, he might have actually believed Zi Yan's nonsense.

"This senior must be Hu Qian, the vice dean of the outer academy of Canaan Academy, right?"

Seeing this, Xiao Feng cupped his hands towards Hu Qian and said, "I am Xiao Feng, from the Jia Ma Empire. The beautiful lady behind me is named Little Fairy Doctor."

"Senior Hu, we have come to Canaan Academy today to join its inner courtyard as guest elders, and to temper our battle qi using the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower."

"You're from the Gama Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Qian couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

“That’s right! Little Fairy Doctor and I were both born in the Jia Ma Empire. May I ask if there’s anything wrong with that, senior?”

"There's nothing wrong with it. I just didn't expect that a remote region like the Gama Empire could produce such young Dou Huangs as you. I thought you came from the Central Plains!"

Although Hu Qian didn't know Xiao Feng and the others' exact ages, judging from their appearances, they were no more than twenty years old.

Even in the Central Plains, a Dou Huang powerhouse under the age of twenty would be considered a super genius. It's hard to imagine that they actually came from the Jia Ma Empire.

"Old man Hu, you're so long-winded!"

Zi Yan urged impatiently, "Get out of my way! I need to take Xiao Feng and the others to see the Grand Elder!"

"You little rascal..."

Hu Qian shook his head helplessly, then waved to the elders of the outer academy behind him and said, "Alright, it's all a misunderstanding, everyone go back!"

Upon hearing this, the elders from the outer academy had no intention of staying any longer and all went back to attend to their own affairs.

"Senior Hu, then we'll take our leave now."

Xiao Feng bowed to Hu Qian, then sent the Wind God Winged Serpent flying towards the inner courtyard.

Watching Xiao Feng and his group leave, Hu Qian couldn't help but sigh, "Truly, the younger generation is formidable!"

Led by Zi Yan, Xiao Feng and his group quickly arrived at the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy and met the Grand Elder Su Qian.

He was dressed in a long black robe, with white beard and hair, and his eyes were as cold as a knife, giving people a sense of authority without anger.

When Su Qian first met Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor, he, like Hu Qian, couldn't help but show a surprised expression. It was the first time he had ever seen such young Dou Huang powerhouses, and there were two of them.

Chapter 139. Han Yue (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

139.

Su Qian wasn't surprised at all when she learned that Xiao Feng and the others were planning to join Canaan Academy as guest elders in order to use the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for cultivation.

After all, apart from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, Canaan Academy doesn't have much else that could arouse the interest of a Dou Huang powerhouse.

Because Zi Yan acted as guarantor, Xiao Feng and his group were able to join Canaan Academy without any problems.

Su Qian's requirements for Xiao Feng and the others were also very lenient. He only asked them to help save Canaan Academy if it faced a catastrophic disaster in the future.

As for what Xiao Feng and the others do on a daily basis, Su Qian doesn't interfere too much, as long as it doesn't threaten the safety of the academy and its students.

"Alright, you old geezer, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'm going to take Xiao Feng and the others to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to cultivate."

Seeing that Xiao Feng and the others had already obtained the identity token representing the inner academy elders from Su Qian, Zi Yan immediately waved her hand impatiently and skipped away with the two of them.

Seeing this, Su Qian's eyes flashed with a hint of doting and he said, "This brat is too realistic! When she needs my help, she's the Grand Elder, but when she doesn't need me anymore, she turns into an old man again."

Having spent so many years with Zi Yan, Su Qian already considered her as his own granddaughter. He might complain, but he wasn't really angry.

Led by Zi Yan, Xiao Feng and his group soon arrived at a huge depression.

There was a giant, completely black tower buried deep underground, with only its spire and a dark entrance visible.

"Is that the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower?"

Gazing at the somewhat eerie black tower, a hint of surprise flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes. Then, her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a puzzled expression: "Huh?"

Little Fairy Doctor could vaguely sense that there seemed to be a powerful spatial barrier around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

To set up such a spatial barrier, a Dou Zong level expert alone cannot do it; a Dou Zun level expert is required.

[Canaan Academy is indeed not as simple as it seems; there must be at least one Dou Zun expert secretly overseeing it.]

Xiao Feng heard Little Fairy Doctor's thoughts and nodded silently.

The dean of Canaan Academy is not just a Dou Zun, but a half-saint level expert who can easily sweep through the entire Black Corner Region.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Just as Little Fairy Doctor was secretly marveling at the profound foundation of Canaan Academy, a large number of whooshing sounds suddenly came from behind them.

Xiao Feng subconsciously turned his head and saw dozens of figures rushing towards him.

Those people are quite strong, most of them have reached the level of Great Dou Master, and a few are Dou Spirit.

Under the somewhat curious gaze of Little Fairy Doctor, after those people arrived near the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, they began to gather in groups of three or five, forming different circles of varying sizes.

One of the tall, silver-haired beauties, dressed in a silver robe, noticed Zi Yan's presence and quickly led several female students around her towards Xiao Feng and his group.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Ziyan."

The silver-haired beauty walked up to Zi Yan and bowed respectfully to her.

Although it was the first time Xiao Feng had seen this silver-haired beauty with snow-white skin and exquisite features, he immediately guessed her identity.

Apart from Han Yue, the eldest daughter of the Han family in Zhongzhou, there should be no other beautiful student with silver hair at Canaan Academy.

"Oh, it's you! Han Yue, we meet again."

Normally, Zi Yan is too lazy to remember the names of other trainees.

Since most students leave Canaan Academy after graduation, and Zi Yan has already seen many classes of students go, she doesn't want to make friends with those students to avoid unnecessary trouble when they part ways in the future.

However, Han Yue's situation is quite special. First of all, her signature silver hair left a deep impression on Zi Yan.

Secondly, when Han Yue first met Zi Yan, she treated her like an ordinary child and even gave her candy.

Therefore, Zi Yan had a very good first impression of Han Yue, and naturally remembered her name.

"Senior Sister Ziyan, may I ask who these two seniors are?"

After greeting Zi Yan, Han Yue turned her attention to Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor.

At this time, Han Yue had only been in the inner academy for less than a year, and her cultivation level was only four-star Great Dou Master. She could only sense that Xiao Feng and the others had a strong aura, but she did not know their specific strength.

Furthermore, since Xiao Feng and the others were with Zi Yan, Han Yue subconsciously assumed that they, like Zi Yan, were senior students on the inner academy's strong ranking list.

"O(∩_∩)O haha~"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Han Yue, they are not students of the inner academy; they are elders who have recently joined the inner academy."

"Elder... Elder?!"

Han Yue's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

It's no wonder Han Yue was so shocked, because to become an inner elder, one needs at least the strength of a Dou Wang.

Seeing Han Yue's dumbfounded expression, Zi Yan grinned mischievously and said, "And they're not just ordinary inner court elders, they're all Dou Huang level experts!"

"Battle...Battle Emperor!!!"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Han Yue felt as if she had been struck by lightning and couldn't help but cry out in disbelief.

Although Han Yue had seen many Dou Huang powerhouses, those Dou Huang powerhouses were basically all over thirty years old.

Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor looked to be about the same age as Han Yue, or even a little younger.

As it turns out, Han Yue is only a four-star Great Dou Master, while Xiao Feng and the others are already Dou Huangs. Is the gap between people really that big?

Seeing that Han Yue's Dao heart was about to collapse, Xiao Feng quickly smiled and comforted her, "Han Yue, you don't need to be so surprised. We were able to break through to Dou Huang so quickly, it was just good luck, it was all by chance!"

"Elder, you flatter us. Even in the Central Continent, it is rare to see such young Dou Huang powerhouses as the two elders. How can good luck be the only explanation?"

Han Yue, recovering from her shock, shook her head helplessly, then bowed to Xiao Feng and said, "Thank you for your words of comfort, Elder. However, I am not that fragile, so please do not worry, Elder."

"May I be so bold as to ask, esteemed elders, your names?"

"My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Feng."

Xiao Feng first introduced himself, and then pointed to Little Fairy Doctor and said, "This is my good friend, Little Fairy Doctor."

[Xiao Feng? Little Fairy Doctor? Are there any prominent families in Zhongzhou with the surname Xiao, or Xiao (小)? Could this be an alias?]

Chapter 140 Three Strange Flames (Third Update, Please Read On)

140.

Just as Han Yue was puzzled, she heard Xiao Feng explain with a smile: "Han Yue, don't misunderstand. We are not young masters and ladies from big families. We are just from small families."

【I don't believe you for a second! What kind of small family could produce such a young Dou Huang? You might as well say you're from a hidden family in the Central Plains!】

"Boom!"

A deep chime suddenly rang out, interrupting Han Yue's inner rant.

"Open the tower!"

Accompanied by an aged voice, the tightly closed, pitch-black door slowly opened, causing the temperature around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to rise significantly.
