Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Boom—

A few minutes later, Mang Tianchi reappeared in front of Xiao Li and the others.

At this moment, apart from his clothes being a bit dark, he was otherwise fine, and Mang Tianchi held a transparent flame in his hand.

"Phew, it took a bit of effort, but thankfully it went smoothly, hahaha! It's all thanks to my profound cultivation! Here, Xiao Li, this Dou Huang-level Fallen Heart Flame is yours."

Mang Tianchi handed the Fallen Heart Flame to Xiao Li. As Xiao Li held the Fallen Heart Flame, he felt something invisible. This thing separated his hand from the Fallen Heart Flame, preventing it from burning his hand.

"This is a simple spatial barrier that I made. Boy, you must be careful. Even though it is a sub-fire, it is still a sub-fire of a different kind of fire. If you are not careful, you will be burned to ashes by the different kind of fire."

Mang Tianchi once again warned Xiao Li that absorbing a strange fire was no small matter.

"Okay. Dean, please take this for me first, I need to get ready." Xiao Li returned the Fallen Heart Flame to Mang Tianchi, then sat down on the ground.

They took out all sorts of bottles and jars, big and small.

He took out the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Heavenly Cold Qi, Blood Lotus Pill, Earth Spirit Pill, Ice Heart Pill, Concentration Pill, and Spirit Absorption Pill.

"Hey, you've come prepared quite well, haven't you?" Mang Tianchi laughed.

"After all, it involves absorbing a different kind of fire, so we can't be careless. Being cautious is a good thing," Xiao Li said calmly.

"Yes, that's right! In everything, 'stability' should be the top priority. With this life, anything is possible; if you lose this life, nothing else matters to you."

Having lived for hundreds of years, Mang Tianchi naturally possesses profound wisdom. After all, he has witnessed countless things, including the insatiable greed of people who, like snakes trying to swallow elephants, ultimately perish from overeating. There are far too many such cases.

"Dean, I have a bit of cold air here. Could you please sprinkle it on the Fallen Heart Flame for me?" Xiao Li handed the jade bottle with the most concentrated cold air to Mang Tianchi.

"It's nothing. Take the pill first, and when you're ready, I'll give you the Fallen Heart Flame Sub-Fire," Mang Tianchi said, waving his hand.

"Um."

Xiao Li first poured out the Blood Lotus Pill, a fifth-grade pill. After taking it, blood scabs would appear on the surface of his body to help him get closer to the strange fire.

The moment the Blood Lotus Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a slightly chilly energy that quickly penetrated into Xiao Li's meridians, eventually seeping into his meridians and bones like layers of blood film.

As the blood membrane seeped in, streaks of blood oozed from Xiao Li's pores. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Li's body was covered in a layer of crimson blood, looking extremely terrifying.

The blood, shortly after it appeared, quickly congealed, eventually forming a blood-red keratin layer. This blood-red keratin layer was like an impenetrable blood-red armor, protecting Xiao Li completely within it.

"Dean, come on over!" Xiao Li was ready.

"Hmm." Mang Tianchi received the signal and injected the Heavenly Cold Qi into the Fallen Heart Flame. The Fallen Heart Flame instantly withered and turned into a very thin, transparent fire snake.

"Open your mouth!"

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Li immediately opened his mouth, and Mang Tianchi injected the Fallen Heart Flame into Xiao Li's body. After the Fallen Heart Flame entered his mouth, Xiao Li immediately swallowed the Earth Spirit Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring together.

As soon as the Fallen Heart Flame entered Xiao Li's body, it immediately erupted with an extremely terrifying temperature. Under such high temperature, even though Xiao Li had made ample preparations and taken the Blood Lotus Pill and Earth Spirit Pill, he still felt extremely painful.

However, the effects of the Earth Spirit Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring soon began to take effect.

Earth Spirit Pill is an essential elixir for devouring the Fallen Heart Flame. Ice Spirit Cold Spring is used to combat the strange fire.

Everything that needed to be prepared has been prepared. Now it's up to Xiao Li to see if he can withstand the burning of the strange fire.

After the icy spring water entered his body, it offset some of the burning pain from the strange fire. This coldness made Xiao Li feel a little comfortable, but now was not the time to feel comfortable.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a different kind of fire; even its sub-fire is not to be underestimated.

Xiao Li began to forcefully control the wild fire snake within his body. With the help of the Earth Spirit Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Xiao Li suppressed the fire snake completely, forcing it to obey Xiao Li's will and follow the designated path.

Xiao Li's meridians were covered with ice crystals formed by the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. The ice crystals and the heat of the strange fire canceled each other out, which indirectly protected Xiao Li's meridians.

Everything was going smoothly until Xiao Li relaxed slightly, at which point the Fallen Heart Flame went berserk and began to run rampant in Xiao Li's body again.

Although the Fallen Heart Flame was only a sub-flame, the Mangtian Ruler separated it and also extracted a lot of spirituality. The Fallen Heart Flame seemed to have intelligence and went berserk when Xiao Li relaxed.

Fortunately, this little fire flower did not have consciousness, otherwise it would have been even more difficult to deal with. Xiao Li was very glad that Mang Tianchi suddenly returned and stopped him from absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame.

This fire has Xiao Li in a bit of a mess. He doesn't think he can handle this Dou Zong level Fallen Heart Flame. If he tries to absorb it, he probably won't even leave behind ashes.

Xiao Li and the Fallen Heart Flame began a tug-of-war, but the balance of power remained with Xiao Li. With the support of the Blood Lotus Pill and the Earth Spirit Pill, the Fallen Heart Flame's resistance weakened and it could only passively submit to Xiao Li's will in the end.

While Xiao Li was engaged in a tug-of-war with the Fallen Heart Flame, three days had already passed in the outside world.

The elders of Canaan Academy were already seated on the ground, watching together as Xiao Li absorbed the strange fire. The elders of the alchemy department, especially Elder Huo, watched the process most carefully.

Mang Tianchi stood in front of Xiao Li, keeping a close eye on Xiao Li's condition. From the beginning of the refining process until now, apart from that brief little episode at the beginning, everything has been going in a good direction.

"Luckily I'm back, otherwise such a genius would have been ruined by you guys!" Mang Tianchi turned to Qianbai and Su Qian and said irritably.

Elder Qianbai and Elder Suqian were too embarrassed to speak, because they didn't know that the Fallen Heart Flame had secretly grown to this extent.

"Is it that serious, Dean? I think Xiao Li's refining process is going very smoothly." Su Qian asked cautiously.

"Hehe, of course it's serious. Even with Xiao Li's thorough preparation, he could only barely suppress this Dou Huang-level sub-flame. If it were the main body, hehe, even if you, Qian Mu, tried to absorb it, you would still die."

As the Dou Zun Mang Tian Chi, his insight was naturally far sharper than theirs. These three old guys have really caused a lot of harm.

"Hmm? This kid survived the tempering of the strange fire, now it's time to reap the rewards. After being nourished by the strange fire, his physical body, fighting spirit, and soul have all benefited a lot." Mang Tianchi turned his head and smiled when he saw Xiao Li's condition.

Canaan Academy has been established for so long, and finally we have a promising student. This is a good start. In the future, Canaan Academy should have more such promising students, and it would be best if one of them was even more outstanding than him.

Mang Tianchi had already begun to fantasize about the future when a Dou Sheng would emerge from Canaan Academy and have to address him as Dean. Just thinking about it made Mang Tianchi feel great, wondering how many old guys who believed in bloodlines would be slapped in the face!

Mang Tianchi pointed his finger at the Na Ling on the ground, and the Na Ling turned into a gray light that shot straight into Xiao Li's body.

As the spirit entered Xiao Li's body, Xiao Li pushed all the transparent flames within him into the spirit.

The Fallen Heart Flame, now completely refined by Xiao Li, was exceptionally docile. At this moment, Xiao Li could manipulate the Fallen Heart Flame at will, guiding the docile flame along his meridians once more.

The meridians that had just been burned were revitalized by the Fallen Heart Flame and were rapidly repairing themselves.

He was injured by the strange fire, he was repaired by the strange fire, and he became stronger by the strange fire.
