Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Charcoal Servant, Crimson Lotus Azure Flame!

The boy's words were firm and resolute, filled with unquestionable confidence and deep love for his parents.

That maturity and sense of responsibility beyond her years drew undisguised admiration from Chi Ye Kui.

A hint of approval flashed across Huo Wushuang's calm eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Even Huo Wu, who had always been scrutinizing and arrogant, couldn't help but seriously re-examine Lin Xia. Her feigned composure dissipated somewhat, replaced by a genuine surprise and curiosity.

This guy who just awakened his martial soul seems to be much more charismatic than he appears.

Lin Tian and Liu Mei were deeply shocked by their son's words and his unwavering gaze.

After a long while, he finally said:

"Okay! Good son! Your parents believe you! Come on, let's... let's go take a look together!"

"That's more like it!"

The smile on the face of the fiery hibiscus was as bright as the sunshine.

"A family should be together! Let's go!"

After passing through several wide and bustling streets, a magnificent, massive complex of buildings, radiating a fiery aura, came into view at the edge of the horizon.

The towering crimson walls resembled burning flames, and the gate was cast from some dark red metal, engraved with huge and lifelike flame emblems. The scorching heat could be faintly felt even from a distance.

Above the door lintel.

Blazing Fire Advanced Soul Master Academy!

The powerful characters, seemingly cast from molten lava, gleamed in the sunlight, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring aura, silently proclaiming the extraordinary nature of this place!

Chi Ye Kui stopped and turned to look at Lin Xia's family with a proud smile on her face.

"Xia, welcome to Blazing Fire Academy!"

Lin Xia looked up at the imposing academy gate, feeling the increased concentration of fire-attribute energy particles in the air. She glanced down at the little charcoal servant at her feet. The little guy seemed to have sensed the strong fire element in the area as well, and the flames on his helmet jumped excitedly, making a soft "whooshing" sound.

The scorching heat, like a tangible wave, instantly enveloped the three members of the Lin family who had just stepped into the gates of Blazing Fire Academy.

It wasn't just plain heat; it contained an aura of intense fire energy, which was nourishing for Soul Masters but nothing short of torture for ordinary people.

Lin Tian and Liu Mei hadn't walked far when fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on their foreheads, and their breathing became rapid and labored, as if they were standing next to a giant furnace.

Their clothes were quickly soaked with sweat, and their steps became unsteady.

"Dad! Mom!"

Lin Xia was startled and was about to step forward when a soft yet powerful fiery red aura of soul energy emanated from the Blazing Leaf Sunflower, precisely enveloping Lin Tian and Liu Mei.

The halo of light shielded the area from the scorching heat, creating a cool and comfortable space.

"I'm sorry, it was my carelessness."

Chiye Kui smiled apologetically.

"The fire element within the academy is too active, which is indeed a bit of a burden for ordinary people. This is much better."

Lin Tian and Liu Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces regaining some color, and looked at the vice president with gratitude.

Led by the fiery leaf sunflower, the group began their tour of the academy.

The magnificent buildings resembled fortresses forged in flames, and everywhere one could see fire-attribute soul master students diligently training, with the air filled with the unique restlessness of the fire element.

Lin Xia was deeply moved, while Tan Xiao Shi excitedly cried out, the flames on its helmet leaping even more joyfully, showing its natural love for the environment.

After getting a basic understanding of the academy's layout, Chi Ye Kui suddenly stopped and turned to Lin Xia, her gentle eyes revealing a hint of sharpness and expectation.

"Xia, how about taking a little test right now?"

"Assessment?"

Lin Xia was slightly taken aback, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"Auntie, I've only just awakened my martial soul, I'm not even a soul master yet, is it really necessary to take the exam now?"

Lin Xia subconsciously touched the helmet of Tan Xiaoshi beside her, and the little guy tilted his head to look at Chi Ye Kui.

Chi Ye Kui's smile remained gentle, but her tone carried an undeniable seriousness.

"Of course it's necessary. Come with me and you'll see."

With a hint of curiosity and a hidden competitive spirit, Lin Xia carried Tan Xiaoshi and followed behind Chi Ye Kui, accompanied by her parents and Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.

After passing through several corridors, we arrived at a huge open-air martial arts arena.

The moment you step into the training ground, an even more intense heat wave and deafening shouts hit you like a physical force!

In the vast arena, dozens of groups of young soul masters are engaged in fierce battles.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, the sounds of fists colliding were deafening, sweat and the light of soul power mingled and splashed, and the air was filled with thick smoke and the smell of fire.

Every student's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, and every clash of their soul skills unleashed an even stronger shockwave.

The entire space was like a giant furnace, burning with the passion and enthusiasm of the young man!

Lin Xia felt his heart leap, and a warlike instinct originating from the depths of his bloodline, belonging to a fire-attribute soul master, was instantly ignited!

The blood was like heated magma, surging and boiling in the blood vessels.

Lin Xia could even clearly feel Tan Xiaoshi's excitement. The flames on the little guy's helmet suddenly rose a bit higher, his small body tensed up, his eyes were fixed on the dazzling fire soul skills in the arena, and he let out a suppressed groan in his throat, full of eager desire!

"Did you feel it?"

Chi Ye Kui's voice rang out with a proud laugh as she looked at the almost simultaneous flames that ignited in Lin Xia and Tan Xiao Shi's eyes.

"This is the soul of Blazing Academy! Fire-attribute Soul Masters, with fighting blood flowing in their veins! This is absolutely the most suitable place for you!"

Lin Xia nodded in deep agreement. The environment of Blazing Fire Academy, coupled with the boiling fighting spirit in the martial arts arena, gave him and Tan Xiaoshi a strange sense of belonging.

Lin Xia suppressed the agitation in her heart and asked directly:

"Auntie, what kind of assessment are you talking about?"

The fiery leaf sunflower stopped keeping her in suspense and pointed to the very center of the training ground.

There stands a huge stone tablet, dark red in color and three zhang tall.

The surface of the stone tablet is covered with mysterious natural patterns, with faint reddish-gold light flowing deep within the patterns, exuding an ancient, heavy, and extremely hot aura.

The air around the stone tablet was slightly distorted due to the high temperature. There were very few students cultivating near it, and they were all more than ten feet away from the stone tablet, obviously unable to withstand the temperature of its core area.

"Do you see that 'Burning Heart' monument?"

The fiery leaf sunflower said solemnly:

"Every gifted student admitted through a special invitation from the school will undergo a unique assessment."

"This assessment has nothing to do with your current soul power level or the strength of your martial soul."

The gaze of the fiery hibiscus deepened.

"It tests your willpower!"

"Talent may be a gift from heaven, varying in level and unfair. But whether a Soul Master can truly embark on the path to the peak requires not only talent, but also an indomitable and unwavering heart of a strong person!"
