Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 252 Hey, those Dou Zong up there, dare to come down and fight!

Canaan College.

It's that time of year again for the Inner Court Selection Competition.

On the college square, two figures clashed repeatedly and fiercely.

The surrounding boys and girls, their faces flushed, cheered and applauded the competition, their energy and vitality palpable.

"Youth is wonderful."

Standing in the air, Xiao Bai looked at the bustling scene below, and his thoughts gradually returned to the scene two years ago when he took the two girls to participate in the inner court selection competition.

"You're not that much older than them, are you?"

A soft laugh rang out, and a streak of light flew over, landing beside Xiao Bai. It looked him up and down, then clicked its tongue in envy.

"A Dou Huang level cultivator, appearing out of thin air—I didn't believe it before, but today has truly opened my eyes!"

"Xiao Bai greets the Vice Dean!" Xiao Bai greeted the newcomer with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Regardless of your current status and power, I cannot accept such politeness from you!"

Hu Qian hurriedly waved his hand, but judging from the smiling expression on his face, he was clearly very pleased. He stroked his beard, gestured downwards, and laughed:

"If we don't go down and check on them, these little brats get so incredibly proud whenever they mention you, calling you 'Senior Xiao Bai' all the time!"

"No, this is their time to shine, and this 'old guy' isn't going to join the fun!"

Xiao Bai glanced down at a certain spirited young man in black who was causing a stir on the field, and shook his head with a smile.

Xiao Yan, who was celebrating his victory and enjoying the cheers of the young boys and girls, seemed to sense something.

He looked up, his eyes lit up, his pupils rolled around, he raised the black ruler in his hand, pointed it upwards, and shouted arrogantly.

"Hey, you Dou Zong up there, dare you come down and fight!"

The sound echoed in the square, carrying a youthful arrogance and confidence.

The atmosphere in the square froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two faintly visible figures in the sky.

He then looked at Xiao Yan with a shocked expression. This guy was too arrogant. How dare he provoke such a strong person?

"!" Xiao Bai.

"That kid"

Vice Dean Hu Qian stroked his beard, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and turned to look at Xiao Bai:

"I remember he was one of your people, wasn't he?"

Xiao Bai nodded, his gaze falling on Xiao Yan. He smiled slightly and took out a scroll from his storage ring.

A faint rumble of thunder sounded, and with a flick of the finger, the scroll instantly transformed into a streak of lightning and fell.

"ah"

Everyone saw lightning strike the arena. Xiao Yan, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was instantly jolted by the electric shock, letting out a scream as the black ruler in his hand nearly slipped from his grasp.

Clutching the large bump on his forehead, the familiar spot instantly reminded him of something. He grimaced, looked up, and muttered curses.

"Damn it, I knew it. You were the one who ambushed me with that scroll that day!"

As he spoke, he secretly picked up the scroll from the ground and took a look. The joy that had just appeared in his eyes suddenly froze.

"Only a Profound Rank scroll? How stingy! Last time it was a Di Rank scroll!"

Despite complaining, his hands moved quickly, putting the scroll into his storage ring as if afraid Xiao Bai would take it back.

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

"!" Everyone exclaimed.

They all had the urge to kill this guy.

He only took two hits like that, and got a low-level scroll and a high-level scroll for free, and he's still not satisfied?

If this were in their hands, they would be willing to stand out all the time.

"That's... Xiao Bai?"

Instructor Ruolin strained to look up at the sky, and the figure looked increasingly familiar. She exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Xiao Bai!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The square instantly became lively, with young men and women gazing intently at the sky, eager to make their move, a bold idea forming in their minds.

Xiao Bai felt a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly bid farewell to Hu Qian and vanished into thin air in a flash.

"Ha ha."

Seeing Xiao Bai's somewhat disheveled figure, Hu Qian's lips curled up slightly, and then he burst into laughter.

Inner courtyard.

Deep inside, in a quiet attic.

"Xiao Bai."

As soon as Xiao Bai appeared in the bright study, Zi Yan's face instantly lit up with surprise. She jumped up and clung to him like a koala.

"You brat, get down here right now! What kind of behavior is this!" Su Qian, behind the desk, scolded, her face darkening.

Xiao Bai looked embarrassed, glanced at Zi Yan, and laughed, "The little sugar pills are gone?"

This girl would only do something like that when she's out of food.

Zi Yan pouted, jumped off Xiao Bai, put her hands on her hips, and said with a dissatisfied look:

"So you finally decided to come back! I was starving! If the old man hadn't forbade me to go out, I would have gone to Zixiao City long ago!"

Xiao Bai smiled helplessly, took out an exquisite jade bottle from his storage ring, and handed it to Zi Yan:

"Here, this is freshly made; it tastes even better than before."

These are the leftover medicinal herbs given by Jia Xingtian. They were useless to keep, so I simply made them into small sugar pills for Ziyan.

Zi Yan's eyes lit up. She snatched the jade bottle, eagerly poured out a small, crystal-clear sugar pill, and popped it into her mouth.

Immediately, a satisfied smile appeared on her little face, and she squinted her eyes as she said:

"Mmm, it's definitely tastier than before!"

Seeing this, Su Qian shook her head and said helplessly:

"Xiao Bai, you're just spoiling her. You're practically ruining this girl."

Xiao Bai smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he explained the purpose of his visit.

"You can go whenever you want, you don't need to make a special trip here!"

Upon hearing that he was going to Thunderfall Valley for seclusion, Su Qian agreed without hesitation.

Looking at Xiao Bai, the young man before him could be considered the most outstanding student in the history of Canaan Academy, he smiled with satisfaction:

"With your current strength, you probably don't need me to take you in like I did two years ago, right?"

"No need to trouble the Grand Elder, I'll go to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower later, and then go into seclusion in the valley," Xiao Bai said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"You're going to see Little Fairy Doctor, aren't you?"

Su Qian frowned, put down the book in her hand, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Bai and asked softly:

"Are you aware of that girl's situation?"

"Is the Grand Elder referring to the Calamity Poison Body?"

Seeing that Su Qian seemed hesitant, Xiao Bai pointed it out directly. Now, he no longer needed to be as cautious as he was two years ago.

Even if his Calamity Poison Body is exposed in the Black Corner Region, he can still protect her.

Su Qian nodded, her expression somewhat solemn:

"The Calamity Poison is no ordinary substance; if it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Xiao Bai remained calm, but his eyes held a hint of determination:

"Elder, rest assured, Xian'er has my seal within her body, so it cannot be unleashed. Moreover, I have already found a way to suppress the Calamity Poison Body."

He knew that Su Qian was worried about the Little Fairy Doctor's poisonous body erupting. With her current strength, none of the inner academy students could withstand the poisonous gas she unleashed.

Upon hearing this, Su Qian knew that Xiao Bai understood his concerns, and sighed:

"With your words, I am relieved. It's not that I have a prejudice against this kind of physique, but as the Grand Elder of the academy, I have a responsibility to all the students!"

Xiao Bai nodded, recalling Han Feng's actions, and then said:

"Elder, my seclusion this time may take a while. If there is anything at the academy, please contact me directly."

Su Qian waved his hand and smiled:

"Go ahead and go into seclusion. Hu Qian and I will be here at the academy, so there won't be any problems. But you, although Thunder Valley is a good place for seclusion, you should still be careful. The power of lightning there is no joke."

Xiao Bai smiled, a warm glint in his eyes:

"Don't worry, Elder, I know what I'm doing."

Su Qian nodded and didn't say anything more.

He had complete trust in Xiao Bai's abilities and character, knowing that this young man was always prudent in his actions.

"Alright, you can go now!" Su Qian waved her hand, indicating that Xiao Bai could leave.

Xiao Bai cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and left the study.

Stepping out of the pavilion, Xiao Bai looked up at the distant Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

The latest novel is first published here!

Xian'er has been cultivating here ever since she entered Canaan Academy.

The Calamity Poison Body allowed her to advance her cultivation at an unstoppable pace, but it also subjected her to unimaginable pain.

Xiao Bai knew that she had been trying her best to control her physical condition, not wanting anyone to worry.

"Xiao Bai, are you going to see Sister Xian'er?"

Zi Yan followed behind Xiao Bai, chewing on a small sugar pill, and asked indistinctly.

Xiao Bai nodded and smiled, "That's right, do you want to come along?"

Zi Yan scratched her head with her little hand, her big eyes seeming to drift off occasionally, and shook her head vigorously, saying:

"I want to go back to sleep!"

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Xiao Bai frowned, squatted down, raised two fingers and touched her brow, his soul power surging out as he carefully sensed her condition.

After a moment, Xiao Bai's brows relaxed slightly, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He withdrew his finger, gently patted Zi Yan's head, and smiled:

"You silly girl, did you secretly eat something you shouldn't have again?"

Zi Yan blinked, lowered her head somewhat guiltily, and muttered softly:

"I ate a strange fruit that looked quite delicious, but after eating it, I always felt sleepy."

"Xiao Bai, is there something wrong with this girl?"

Su Qian appeared beside Zi Yan and asked, slightly nervously.

"It's alright. That fruit should be a 'Dream Fruit.' Although it's not very poisonous, it will make her drowsy for several days."

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Furthermore, Ziyan has been consuming quite a lot of medicinal herbs lately and is about to advance in her cultivation level. This time, let her come with me to Thunderfall Valley for seclusion. The energy there is abundant, which will benefit her breakthrough!"

"Thunder Valley?"

Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Su Qian felt relieved, but then hesitated again, as the thunder inside was no joke.

After a long pause, Su Qian seemed to have made a decision. He knew that given Xiao Bai's attitude towards Zi Yan, he wouldn't have spoken up unless he was absolutely certain. He nodded and said:

"Alright, then I'll leave Ziyan to you!"

Don't worry!

Xiao Bai nodded, looked at the drowsy Zi Yan, rubbed her little head, and smiled:

"Wait here for me, I'll take you there in a bit!"

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, Xiao Bai's expression changed as soon as he entered the spatial barrier. The space rippled, and he took a step out.

Deep within the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, in a quiet cultivation room.

Little Fairy Doctor sat cross-legged in the center, surrounded by a thick poisonous mist. The purple poisonous gas swirled around her like a living thing, sometimes condensing into a snake shape, and sometimes transforming into a ferocious beast shadow.

Her pretty face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead. Her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she was enduring great pain.

"We can't let the poisonous fog spread!" Little Fairy Doctor murmured softly, her voice trembling slightly.

She originally thought that with her own efforts and the seal left by Xiao Bai, she would be able to break through to the next realm smoothly.

However, the power of the Calamity Poison Body far exceeded her expectations. The poison gas in her body was like a wild horse, frantically impacting her meridians and even beginning to backfire on her body.

"No. If this continues, I'll lose control."

Little Fairy Doctor gritted her teeth, trying to suppress the poison in her body, but her power seemed so insignificant in the face of the outbreak of the Calamity Poison Body.

Just then, Xiao Bai's figure appeared in the fog-filled training room.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he felt the violent poisonous gas, and his expression instantly turned serious.

"Xian'er!"

Walking quickly to Little Fairy Doctor's side, Xiao Bai put his hand on her shoulder and his soul power rapidly flowed into her body.

"noob."

The little fairy doctor's delicate body was curled up, her voice weak and painful, her purplish-gray eyes filled with despair:

"I can't control it. It hurts so much."

Xiao Bai frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Don't be afraid, Xian'er, I'm here!"

He quickly took out a crystal-clear pill from his storage ring and put it into Little Fairy Doctor's mouth:

"Xian'er, this is the 'Purifying Spirit Pill,' which can temporarily suppress the poison in your body. Calm your mind first, and I will help you clear it."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded, reluctantly swallowed the pill, and the poison in her body subsided slightly.

However, this was only a temporary relief; the power of the Calamity Poison Body continued to surge wildly.

Xiao Bai formed hand seals, his soul power transforming into countless fine threads that penetrated into Little Fairy Doctor's meridians, attempting to guide the raging poisonous gas.

The power unleashed by the Calamity Poison Body this time was extremely domineering. When Xiao Bai's soul force came into contact with the purplish-gray poisonous mist, it was like charcoal fire meeting boiling water, making a hissing sound.

"No. If these forces collide, Xian'er's meridians will be completely destroyed!"

Xiao Bai's heart sank, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, his internal fighting spirit surged wildly, and a powerful force erupted from his body.

He pressed his hands firmly on Little Fairy Doctor's back, and the five-colored battle qi surged into her body like a torrent.

"Xian'er, bear with it! I will help you suppress the poison gas, but the process will be very painful!" Xiao Bai's voice was deep and firm.

Little Fairy Doctor gritted her teeth and nodded: "I...I can endure it!"

Xiao Bai's fighting spirit clashed violently with the poisonous gas inside Little Fairy Doctor's body, causing the entire training room to shake.

The poisonous gas, like a raging beast, fiercely resisted Xiao Bai's suppression and even began to backfire on his fighting spirit.

"snort!"

Xiao Bai snorted coldly, and his five-colored battle qi did not retreat in the slightest, continuously surging into Little Fairy Doctor's body, engaging in a fierce tug-of-war with the poison gas.

Within Little Fairy Doctor's body, under the suppression of the even more domineering Five Elements Thunder Battle Qi, the energy erupted by the Calamity Poison Body was gradually defeated, leaving behind a mess of meridians.

However, every time the Five-Colored Thunder Qi was recovered, a wisp of blue light would always remain.

The azure light enveloped the scattered and damaged meridians, and the light flickered as the broken meridians began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time passed second by second, and Little Fairy Doctor's complexion gradually regained some color, but Xiao Bai's complexion grew paler and paler.

"Xiao Bai...you..." Little Fairy Doctor sensed Xiao Bai's weakness, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Xiao Bai shook his head, his voice hoarse but firm: "Don't speak, concentrate, it's almost there!"
