Battle Through the Heavens: He possesses extraordinary comprehension and is born a Battle Emperor!

Chapter 114 Refining the Rejuvenating and Life-Sustaining Pill.

Behind Canaan Academy, Zi Yan was intently watching the medicine furnace. Her anticipation gradually turned into tension as she noticed that the energy inside the furnace had suddenly become extremely unstable. A violent energy, like a runaway horse, was about to spiral out of control.

"How could this happen?" Zi Yan murmured softly, her beautiful brows furrowing. She knew all too well that if not handled properly, it would not only fail to create a miraculous elixir, but could also lead to a disaster.

Just then, a sound of something breaking through the air grew louder as it approached. Immediately afterward, a figure appeared at the edge of the barrier like a ghost. It was none other than Han Feng, who had rushed over.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" Zi Yan was surprised, but even more surprised. After all, the Black Corner Region and Canaan Academy had always kept to themselves.

Han Feng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stared intently at the churning energy within the furnace, his brow furrowed. "This power... Little sister, who is inside this barrier? What kind of elixir are they refining? Why are they so agitated?"

Zi Yan's pupils contracted slightly. She hadn't expected Han Feng to ask such a sharp question as soon as he arrived, and his piercing gaze made her feel an invisible pressure.

"You don't need to know too much. Leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Her tone revealed an undeniable determination, and her fighting spirit subtly rose around her, like a violet about to bloom, beautiful yet dangerous.

Han Feng chuckled lightly, his hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor still relaxed and at ease. "What if I said I was quite interested in this matter? Besides, if this energy surge isn't controlled properly, even the Black Corner Region might suffer as a result."

"That's a matter for our Canaan Academy, it has nothing to do with you." Zi Yan's words carried a hint of arrogance, and the Nine Nether Tiger totem on her back flickered faintly, as if she was ready to fight at any moment.

"Hey, young lady, don't be so aloof." Han Feng shook his head, feigning helplessness. "Although my reputation isn't great, my alchemy skills are top-notch. If I can lend you a hand, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

"Help me?" Zi Yan's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "I'd like to see what you're capable of."

As she spoke, a faint light gathered at Zi Yan's fingertips. It was a fusion of pure battle qi and soul power. With a flick of her wrist, it transformed into a purple blade of light, heading straight for Han Feng's face.

Han Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a slight shift of his body, easily dodged Zi Yan's attack. At the same time, he flipped his palm, and a pill emitting a faint glow appeared in his hand. He gently tossed it to Zi Yan, saying, "Since you don't believe me, I'll give you this 'Soul-Stabilizing Pill' as a small gift. If you truly have the ability to resolve this predicament, as you say, this mere pill will naturally not be of any interest to you."

Zi Yan caught the pill, her expression complex. While not an extremely rare treasure, this Soul-Stabilizing Pill was still quite remarkable, capable of stabilizing the mind in crucial moments, making it invaluable for cultivators. She couldn't help but feel a renewed curiosity and scrutiny regarding Han Feng's identity and strength.

"What a scoundrel, he does have some skill." Zi Yan's tone softened slightly, but her vigilance remained. "However, my brother Xiao Chong is capable of handling this on his own, there's no need for outsiders to interfere."

"Such stubbornness, there's really no way to deal with you." Han Feng spread his hands, feigning helplessness, then changed the subject, "Then I'll just watch from the sidelines. If anything goes wrong, please don't look down on my help, little sister."

"Suit yourself." Zi Yan snorted coldly, ignoring Han Feng, turned to face the medicine furnace, closed her eyes and concentrated, once again focusing on controlling the raging energy.

As time went by, the aroma of herbs in the surrounding environment became increasingly strong.

A few days later, at dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin clouds and shone on the quiet valley.

Outside the cave, birdsong rose and fell, as if welcoming an extraordinary day.

Suddenly, accompanied by a slight tremor, the surrounding environmental barrier shattered like glass, scattering into specks of fluorescent light that merged into the air.

Xiao Chong slowly walked out of the cave. His robes were slightly disheveled, but his eyes shone with an undisguised mix of excitement and exhaustion.

What he held tightly in his hand was a pill that exuded a gentle life force—the "Rejuvenation and Life-Sustaining Pill".

"It's a success...it's finally a success!" Xiao Chong murmured, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

This is not just an acknowledgment of his personal skills, but also a reflection of the weight of that promise and the anticipation of the impending turning point in his life.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded in the distance, and then Han Feng and Zi Yan appeared in his field of vision almost simultaneously. Both of their faces were filled with tension and anticipation, especially Zi Yan, whose eyes also held a hint of barely perceptible concern.

Upon seeing the pill in Xiao Chong's hand, Han Feng immediately set off, ready to snatch it away and keep it for himself.

Xiao Chong's smile froze instantly, his eyes sharpening as he keenly caught the sudden surge of murderous intent in the air.

He slowly turned around, his gaze meeting Han Feng's resolute eyes, and he sighed inwardly, "They came really fast."

"Xiao Chong, Zi Yan," Han Feng's voice was as cold and hard as iron, and a fierce battle aura had quietly gathered in his hand, "If you hand over the Rejuvenation and Life-Sustaining Pill, I might consider sparing your lives."

Xiao Chong smiled calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness: "The Rejuvenating Life-Extending Pill is right here. If you want it, take it with your strength!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and an inevitable showdown began.

Han Feng launched the first attack, his movements as swift as a cheetah, his battle aura transforming into sharp blades of wind, directly approaching the two.

Xiao Chong reacted swiftly, releasing a pale golden shield with a wave of his hand, enveloping him and Zi Yan within it. The blades of wind struck the shield, producing a series of ear-piercing roars, but failed to budge it in the slightest.

"You're still so naive, thinking this little shield can stop me?" Han Feng mocked, his fighting spirit surging even more fiercely, preparing to launch an even more intense attack.

Zi Yan frowned, took out a pair of short swords from her sleeve, deftly twirled them in her hands, and looked at Han Feng with a determined gaze: "Xiao Chong, I'll deal with him!"

With that, she moved with lightning speed, instantly closing in on Han Feng. Her short sword flashed with dazzling sword shadows, and her attacks were relentless, forcing Han Feng to be distracted and deal with the situation.

Xiao Chong stepped aside, closed his eyes, concentrated, and formed hand seals, preparing to unleash a more powerful defensive or counter-attack method.

He thought to himself, "Han Feng is nothing to worry about. It's good to let Zi Yan gain some experience."

The battle intensified. Although Han Feng possessed immense strength, he gradually began to struggle under Zi Yan's agile and unpredictable attacks. Sweat streamed down his forehead, and the fervor in his eyes was gradually replaced by exhaustion.
