Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Yueyao looked at Xiao Fan's expression, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes, a faint smile curving her lips. Despite being the one who had been bullied, she comforted Xiao Fan. "I'm fine, he..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Fan placed his index finger on her lips and whispered, "Trust me, okay?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yueyao nodded and stood obediently beside Xiao Fan, no longer speaking. A blush rose on her pretty face, her lips were slightly pursed, and her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Fan.

"Elder Liu, we..." Xi Ying was explaining to Elder Liu.

"Elder Liu, it's just a joke." Xiao Fan interrupted them and cupped his hands in greeting to Elder Liu. "It's no trouble for you, Elder, that students would like to make an exception for each other. I'll have to visit you another day."

"You..." Elder Liu opened his mouth, knowing that Xiao Fan did not intend to end this matter like this. He sighed and said, "Fine, let it be." Then he turned around and decided to avoid seeing him altogether.

"Hehe, thanks a lot, junior brother." Xi Ying, who was standing to the side, thought that Xiao Fan was afraid of them and looked down on Xiao Fan. However, he did not show it at this time. After all, Elder Liu was the guardian elder of the first floor. If he was involved, he might punish them and others by preventing them from entering the tower for a period of time.

Xiao Fan didn't answer him. After seeing Elder Liu turn around, he looked at Xi Ying and his group and said calmly, "Do you know? Actually, I wanted to leave you all to my junior brother. Why did you have to provoke me?"

A cold voice rang out around them, and Xi Ying's smugness turned into astonishment.

"you......"

"Stop talking nonsense, all of you come at me together." Xiao Fan's eyes turned black, as if chaotic fire was brewing within them, and he stared intently at Xi Ying.

At that moment, Xi Ying felt a sense of suffocation, as if she were being stared at by a murderer, and her hands and feet went numb.

"Junior brother, it's just a small matter..." He gritted his teeth, and his dazzling battle aura erupted, resisting Xiao Fan's pressure.

Xiao Fan did not answer. He flipped his hand, and the Thousand Flame Spear appeared in his hand. He glanced indifferently at the people opposite him and swept it across them.

Xi Ying braced himself with his arms, trying to block Xiao Fan's attack. However, the seemingly indestructible battle qi barrier shattered into countless fragments upon slight contact with Xiao Fan's spear.

"How can this be!"

Xi Ying let out a terrified scream, his voice cracking slightly. His pupils were filled with fear as he looked into Xiao Fan's dark eyes. He admitted that he was afraid. He saw...killing intent in those eyes.

Xi Ying's body was swept away by Xiao Fan's shot, crashing into the two people behind him. He then slid backward for more than ten meters before stopping. Xi Ying coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face filled with unconcealed horror.

"Four...four-star Dou Ling?"

Everyone was completely shocked by the combat power that Xiao Fan had just displayed. Even Yue Yao, who had been protecting him the whole time, was filled with surprise. But more than surprise, her eyes showed pride, and a hint of regret...

"It's your turn."

Xiao Fan looked at the people who had been standing behind Xi Ying. His body blurred, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of a Great Dou Master. He punched the Great Dou Master in the cheek, and a sound of bones breaking rang out. The man was sent flying far away, his life hanging in the balance.

"Don't worry, he won't die. I know what I'm doing."

Seemingly sensing everyone's thoughts, Xiao Fan said something indifferently, and then walked towards Baishan.

"I thought you would learn your lesson."

"My...my cousin is Bai Cheng, he's the leader of the Bai Gang." Bai Shan looked at Xiao Fan, his voice trembling, unable to muster any fighting spirit. "Besides, we didn't hurt her."

However, Xiao Fan did not listen to his explanation. He took a step forward and rushed to Bai Shan's side, slapping Bai Shan directly across the face and sending him flying.

"Too weak." Xiao Fan said disdainfully, "Are all the people in the White Gang this trash?"

Xiao Fan walked towards the spot where Xi Ying had just collapsed. Xi Ying, along with the two people behind him, helped each other to their feet.

"Please... spare us, we'll never do it again."

The two people behind Xi Ying were so intimidated by Xiao Fan's aura that they stood aside, not daring to utter a sound.

Ignoring Xi Ying's pleas for mercy, Xiao Fan walked up to Xi Ying and extended his hand, "You hit her with this hand just now, didn't you?"

Grabbing Xi Ying's right hand, Xiao Fan suddenly pulled hard, and a chilling sound of bones breaking rang out. Xi Ying's right hand was broken by Xiao Fan, the white bone piercing his skin, and bright red blood quickly stained his clothes.

Just as Xiao Fan was about to say something more, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from behind him.

At the same time, the temperature inside the black tower began to rise rapidly. A huge energy fluctuation surged from the black hole in the center of the black tower to the top, and a series of chilling "hissing" sounds echoed throughout the space of the first floor.

Xiao Fan turned around in shock, and a pair of large eyes radiating a cold aura came into view.

Chapter 160 The Strange Fire Erupts Again

"This is?"

Elder Liu, who had been observing from the sidelines, suddenly panicked.

"Why is this thing out again?"

Elder Liu urgently shouted to the surrounding students, "Everyone, immediately move away from the center!"

While shouting, he dragged back some students who were watching the show and were relatively close to the black hole.

Others could not see what was inside the black hole, but could hear hissing sounds and peer out curiously.

At that moment, Xiao Fan met those cold eyes, and in that instant, he was certain that the other person was looking at him.

Xiao Fan wanted to go and take Yue Yao away, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

Not far from his heart, an invisible flame suddenly appeared in Xiao Fan's heart, its intensity far surpassing the heart fire provided in the previous cultivation room.

Xiao Fan had no choice but to seize the time to absorb as much energy as possible. With his full support, strands of invisible energy were extracted from the invisible flames.

The invisible fire python trapped in the center of the black tower became increasingly agitated as it sensed the weakening of Xiao Fan's inner fire, repeatedly attacking the layers of seals that had been laid out.

The intense tremors were so great that even the array couldn't completely stop them.

"This shouldn't be happening, how could this be?" Elder Liu's consciousness could only vaguely "see" the general shape of the invisible fire python and sense its increasingly violent aura. He was at a loss.

If that thing were to come out, it would probably become a disaster for the inner courtyard.

But he couldn't understand why this thing was acting so impatiently at this moment, contrary to its usual behavior.

"What are you still standing there for? Get out of here!" Elder Liu roared, looking at Xiao Fan who was still standing there motionless.

Meanwhile, Yueyao quickly moved to Xiao Fan's side and grasped his right hand. However, the burning heat emanating from Xiao Fan made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. Without hesitation, Yueyao did not let go. Seemingly sensing Xiao Fan's unusual condition, she supported him and helped him lean slightly against her.

To outsiders, the two simply appeared to be snuggling together intimately.

"Leave here..."

Xiao Fan took a moment to whisper something to Yue Yao, then began to deal with the internal fire within his body.

The heart fire that has now been born in Xiao Fan's body is not rigidly staying in one place, but is spreading outwards and in all directions along Xiao Fan's meridians.

Xiao Fan simply controlled the Chaos Fire, blocking the path of the invisible flame time and time again.

The two used Xiao Fan's body as their battlefield, engaging in a fierce battle like two armies clashing.

As the Chaos Fire stripped away the invisible flames, traces of their origin were extracted, and the power of the invisible flames gradually diminished until they were finally completely absorbed by Xiao Fan.

After resolving the internal problem, Xiao Fan realized that almost all of his weight was on Yue Yao. The two of them were standing on the edge of the first floor. Fortunately, since Elder Liu had basically driven everyone out, the two of them were not conspicuous.

As the invisible flames within Xiao Fan's body disappeared, the invisible fire python in the center became even more agitated, repeatedly attacking the layers of seals set up by the academy's experts around the black hole.

After struggling for a while to no avail, the enormous eyes glanced at Xiao Fan before falling back down below the black tower.

With the disappearance of the invisible fire python, the temperature inside the black tower returned to normal.

The blackness in Xiao Fan's eyes dissipated, his eyes returned to normal, and a trace of lingering fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at Yue Yao.

Yueyao smiled sweetly at Xiao Fan, asked nothing, but tightened her grip on Xiao Fan's hand slightly.

"Thank you," Xiao Fan said, only to realize that his voice was a little hoarse.

It seems to be an abnormality caused by an excessively high body temperature.

Yueyao shook her head, smiled playfully, and said in her usual clear and elegant voice, "It's nothing. Weren't you helping me get revenge? Why are you thanking me?"

Xiao Fan smiled, said nothing, patted Yue Yao's hand which was still tightly clenched, and said to her calmly, "Let's go, they've all run far away."

After what just happened, Xi Ying and her group had already left, but Xiao Fan had no intention of letting them off so easily.

"Are you going to the White Gang?"

Yueyao, who was standing to the side, looked at Xiao Fan with a look of surprise in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "It's okay, I'm fine. Besides, you've already taught them a lesson."

Xiao Fan looked at her, knowing she was worried about him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Without saying a word, he grabbed Yueyao's hand and walked out of the tower.

Yueyao followed behind Xiao Fan, a warm feeling rising in her heart. She no longer refused, since it was just a White Gang after all, and she trusted Xiao Fan.

......

In an empty classroom, several figures suddenly appeared.

An elderly man with a white beard, seated at the head of the table, spoke calmly: "Did the things inside the tower riot again just now?"

"Hmm." One of the instructors sitting below nodded and said, "This period of time shouldn't be when it awakens. I don't know why, but it has happened twice already."

The elder at the head of the table sighed upon hearing this, then said, "The bottom two levels are temporarily off-limits." He then turned to another elder sitting on the other side. "You two will have to work harder lately to reinforce the seals within the tower. If you need anything, just call upon them directly; treat it as a top-level mission."

After waiting a moment and seeing that no one objected, the old man asked again, "By the way, what is the current situation of Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan?"

Upon hearing the old man's question, one of the instructors sitting at the lower level stood up and said, "Xiao Yan entered the second level a few days ago and is currently cultivating inside. Xiao Fan just entered the tower today, preparing to enter the second level, when he encountered the riot."

"Take good care of these two little ones," the old man said calmly. "If anything really happens later, they might come in handy since they both possess strange fire."

Shaking his head, the old man looked at the others in the room and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, then everyone should stay where they are and disperse."

A moment later, the figures that had been sitting inside the room twisted and vanished abruptly, leaving only the old man muttering to himself:

"They're from the same school, possess top-tier alchemy talent, and both have rare flames that countless alchemists covet. Tsk tsk, I'm really curious which old monster taught these two lads. It's truly enviable..."

Chapter 161 In front of the White Gang

On a main road in the inner courtyard, Xiao Fan led Yue Yao straight away from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and headed towards the location of the White Gang.
