Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Compared to truly powerful forces, Canaan Academy, despite possessing the benefits of the Fallen Heart Flame, is unlikely to rise to prominence.

The Fallen Heart Flame in the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower can at most help students cultivate to the level of Dou Wang, and only the original Heart Flame specially refined by the elders can achieve this.

Without abundant resources to nurture it, the strange fire will find it difficult to grow and transform.

Gu Xun'er must have gone to Canaan Academy for some special reason.

After Han Feng came in, Gu Xun'er stood by his side the whole time, sharing with him every little thing that happened in the Ancient Clan Square.

This scene was witnessed by the younger generation of the ancient clan, and they felt uneasy.

Han Feng looks mature, but he doesn't look like a typical middle-aged man; on the contrary, he looks rather youthful.

When Han Feng activated the Fallen Heart Flame technique, his looks were comparable to his master Yao Chen.

Even under normal circumstances, with the Sea Heart Flame as a base, her temperament and appearance are still extremely outstanding.

Standing next to him, Gu Xun'er would seem like a perfect match to most people if they didn't know her identity.

However, if you add the identity of the eldest daughter of an ancient clan, then this is no longer a good match.

Among the ancient tribes, a man with an eerie appearance narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

He didn't think Gu Xun'er had any special feelings for Han Feng, nor did he think the two had any special relationship. However, he had already regarded Gu Xun'er as his future partner, so he couldn't tolerate her being so close to another man.

He was even more annoyed because the man was quite good-looking.

"I heard yesterday that Xun'er took the initiative to meet with two men, but I thought it was mainly the one surnamed Xiao."

A young man from an ancient clan walked up to the ancient demon and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect it to be that guy surnamed Han."

"Shut up!"

Gu Yao glanced at the other party.

The boy who had spoken raised his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

"But you'd better keep a close eye on her, or you'll be crying if Xun'er gets kidnapped."

Wow!

A powerful attack was unleashed from the ancient demon's hand. With the strength of an eight-star Dou Zun, his attack was unparalleled in its sharpness.

However, the sudden attack was blocked by the boy's raised hand, and he only took half a step back.

"It's quite powerful."

The boy muttered something to himself, then said nothing more and walked away.

Gu Yao took a deep breath and looked at Gu Xun'er and the others again, a sense of resentment quietly rising in his heart.

Chapter 388 Roll Call

Time passed second by second, and at a certain appointed moment, a melodious bell rang out from afar.

"The time has come. Let the ceremony begin..."

Hong Wei's voice rang out in the void, and the unique aura of a Dou Sheng powerhouse spread throughout the entire area, causing most people to gasp in shock.

This is a true Battle Saint, incomparable to a Half-Saint level cultivator.

Three elders dressed in special robes rose from their seats some distance away, exuding the aura of demigods, and walked toward the center of the plaza.

The elders who presided over this coming-of-age ceremony were not true Battle Saints, but their seniority in the clan was extremely high, making them more than qualified to conduct the coming-of-age ceremony for the younger generation.

In addition, the Battle Saint who had just made the sound had also been watching this place from the invisible void.

In the center of the square, many utensils were displayed. The ancient coming-of-age ceremony was complex, and the entire process required meticulous attention to detail.

The three elders solemnly prepared for the coming-of-age ceremony.

A few minutes later, the three elders stood in their respective positions and shouted towards the core area: "The ceremony begins!"

"Lingquan, come up on stage."

The ancient tribe youth whose name was called first walked up to the coming-of-age ceremony platform with his head held high and a smug smile on his face.

The ancient tribe actually has a considerable number of young men and women, but only those with exceptional talent can take the stage in this setting.

An elder pointed his astrolabe at Lingquan, and a special energy surged on the astrolabe.

Wow!

A dazzling light flashed, and six stars lit up on the star chart.

The elder nodded slightly and announced loudly, "Ling Quan, the seventh commander of the Black Annihilation Army, with the strength of a one-star Dou Zun and the bloodline level of a sixth rank, is hereby granted a golden clan emblem after deliberation by the Elder Council!"

The decisions made in the Elder Council are usually based on the daily achievements of the ancient clansmen. Ling Quan is the seventh commander of the Black Annihilation Army, and with his Dou Zun strength, it is only natural that he is granted a golden clan mark. Of course, the real decisive factor is his sixth-grade bloodline.

If Lingquan's test results show that his Dou Di bloodline level is weak, then even if he is a Dou Zun powerhouse, he will not be granted the golden clan mark.

As soon as he finished speaking, another elder picked up his golden brush and drew a mysterious rune in the air. The rune then slowly landed on Lingquan's head. In an instant, golden light shone everywhere, and a strange energy emanated from around Lingquan's body.

"Sixth-grade bloodline level? Golden clan markings? What are these things?"

Xiao Yan was completely unfamiliar with these things and asked a question.

"The ancient clan's bloodline levels are divided into ten grades, with grade one being the lowest and grade ten the highest... However, generally speaking, only those whose bloodline level reaches grade four or above are qualified to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. Lingquan's achievement of grade six is ​​already quite remarkable..."

Xun'er smiled slightly and explained, "As for the golden clan mark, it is the final evaluation given based on all the above conditions. This kind of clan mark is passed down from ancient times. In times of crisis, it can temporarily increase the bloodline power in the ancient clan members, thus turning danger into safety. This kind of clan mark is divided into four levels: silver, gold, purple gold, and seven-colored gold, distinguished by color. And Lingquan's clan mark is the third level, the golden clan mark."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with interest.

Since ancient clans have such clan markings, I wonder if the Xiao clan of the past also had them?

However, the Xiao clan has already declined, and even if they exist, it seems to have nothing to do with him anymore.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt somewhat disheartened.

The ancient clan's clan inscription secret technique sounds more powerful than my own "Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire".

The energy fluctuations unleashed by a mere sixth-grade bloodline are more powerful than the second transformation of the "Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire," even considering that this comparison is made with Xiao Yan possessing a different kind of fire.

If it were a seventh, eighth, or even ninth or tenth rank, wouldn't that completely crush me?

"The bloodline of a Dou Di is truly terrifying..."

Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

Gu Xun'er glanced at this "cousin," her clear eyes revealing a cryptic expression.

Mr. Han brought Xiao Yan's cousin here, so it certainly wasn't just to let him join in the fun.

Based on Gu Xun'er's understanding of Han Feng, there must be something that Xiao Yan needs to handle, or something that can benefit him.

Could it be for the Heavenly Tomb...?

After much thought, Gu Xun'er realized that the only thing about the Gu clan that Mr. Han valued was that place.

Once the coming-of-age ceremony is over, the Heavenly Tomb will open, and according to tradition, the Xiao Clan has two slots available.

Gu Xun'er's eyes lit up.

Should I go talk to my father and ask him to let Mr. Han also enter the Heavenly Tomb for training? After all, the Xiao Clan has two spots.

As members who guard the Heavenly Tomb, the Ancient Clan is entitled to four slots each time. In addition, since no one from the Xiao Clan has used their slots in recent years, they have also been transferred to the Ancient Clan. Therefore, there are a total of six members of the Ancient Clan who enter the Heavenly Tomb each time!

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, there should also be six slots for the Heavenly Tomb this time.

Gu Xun'er sighed inwardly.

The ancient clan's higher-ups don't seem to have a very good attitude towards Han Feng and Xiao Yan's cousin, so getting them to agree will be very difficult.

The ancient clan is not a one-man show. As the clan leader, Gu Yuan sometimes has to consider the influence of many parties.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Gu Xun'er out of the ancient clan for training in the first place.

In the center of the square, young men and women from the ancient tribe ascended the stage to receive their tribal emblems.

Among the clan crests bestowed upon them were those of silver and those of gold.

Finally, after the Grand Commander of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army took the stage, the first purple-gold clan mark appeared.

"After deliberation by the Elder Council, it has been decided that Gu Zhen, with his extraordinary military achievements and calm demeanor, shall be granted the Purple-Gold Clan Mark!"

Since the highest-level seven-colored clan pattern has not been used for a long time, the purple-gold clan pattern is currently the highest-level clan pattern of the ancient clan.

Having the Purple Gold Clan Mark means that you no longer need to bow your head when walking among the ancient clans; you can go out and show it off as you please.

"Seven-star Dou Zun, seventh-grade bloodline, this guy looks really strong."

Xiao Yan stood in the core area, which was relatively close to the center of the square, so he was able to more accurately perceive Gu Zhen's extraordinary qualities.

"Gu Zhen is indeed a role model among the younger generation of the ancient clan. Apart from those few commanders, there are almost no ones stronger than him."

Gu Xun'er said earnestly.

Gu Zhen earned his reputation through countless battles, and his strength is such that, unless he encounters a truly peerless genius, almost no one among the younger generation of the Gu clan can defeat him.

The position of the Black Annihilation Army's Grand Commander is not one that just anyone can hold.

Just as Xiao Yan was wondering just how strong Gu Zhen really was, even more enthusiastic applause rang out from all around.

On the coming-of-age ceremony stage, a boy with a somewhat eerie appearance walked up at some point.

"Ancient Demon! One of the four commanders of the Black Annihilation Army, an eight-star Dou Zun, possessing the power of an eighth-grade bloodline, and endowed with the Purple-Gold Clan Mark!"

Wow!

The purple-gold dragon pen recorded the identity of the second owner of the purple-gold clan emblem.

After receiving the clan emblem, the ancient demon stood up straight and looked at the core area.

"Elder, during my coming-of-age ceremony, do I have the right to challenge anyone at will?"

The ancient demon asked calmly.

The three elders were taken aback by the question, since no one had challenged anyone during the coming-of-age ceremony. However, they still answered, "According to the rules, you can challenge anyone from your clan during your coming-of-age ceremony. But if the other party is not from your clan, you need their consent before you can fight them."

Gu Yao nodded slowly, then the sharpness in his eyes was no longer concealed, and he looked directly at the person standing next to Gu Xun'er.

Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine under that gaze, but before he could react, Gu Yao spoke up: "Han Feng of the Starfall Pavilion, I've heard you're quite strong. Do you dare to come down and fight?"

It wasn't me...

Xiao Yan felt slightly embarrassed, but inexplicably relieved.

He doesn't have the strength to fight an eight-star Dou Zun right now.

Even if you unleash your full potential, it won't work.

Han Feng glanced at Xun'er with a hint of helplessness.

Saying that beautiful women are a source of trouble is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's true that they do tend to cause more minor problems.

Gu Xun'er lowered her head quietly, concealing the smile on her lips.

She wasn't worried about Mr. Han's strength at all. Gu Yao actually chose such an opponent; he... had good taste!

In Gu Xun'er's eyes, Gu Yao's actions undoubtedly confirmed something, and it remained to be seen whether Mr. Han would accept the challenge.

After being publicly called out by the ancient demon, Han Feng quickly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Is he the disciple of that outcast from my Medicine Clan? I heard he won the championship at the Pill Gathering this time?"

On a high point in the square, several figures leaned lazily against the railing. One of them, a man with a gourd pattern on his forehead, looked at Han Feng's back and smiled.

Beside them, a voluptuous woman with an extremely hot figure curled her lip.

"Rumors circulated at the alchemy gathering that he had refined a ninth-grade pill; I wonder if it's true."

"Hmph, it's probably fake. Ninth-grade pills aren't that easy to refine."

The man snorted coldly.

Even he can't refine a ninth-grade pill right now. What qualifications does a disciple who's been abandoned by his family have to refine a ninth-grade pill?

"Let's see how strong he is first. If he is defeated by an ancient demon, it will save us the trouble of dealing with him."

In the center of the square, the elder looked towards the core area, his gaze seemingly asking Han Feng whether he wanted to fight.

Han Feng shook his head and said to Mang Tianchi, who was standing to the side with a smug smile, "I'd appreciate it if the Dean could keep an eye on things for me."
