The Heavenly Flame, in the end, is a special type of fire attribute energy.
When Lin Xiu separated the two types of flames and removed the raging factor inside, what remained was only abundant fire attribute energy.
Phew!
Lin Xiu exhaled a cluster of green and red intertwined flames.
The flames transformed in the air, turning into a palm-sized demonic ox.
The little ox immediately locked onto the Green Lotus Core Flame with its jade-like luster.
But with a glare from Lin Xiu, it obediently turned its head and first swallowed the purple flame.
Its body swelled for a moment, spitting out a wisp of white smoke, as if it had burped, before finally swallowing the Green Fire.
The Green Demon Flame continued to expand in size, and when it returned to its original size, its appearance became noticeably clearer.
Lin Xiu retracted it, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, as he flicked away the remaining raging factor with his finger.
Boom!
Upon landing on the ground, it exploded directly, emitting a earth-shattering roar.
"Oh my, if this were thrown in front of me, I'd probably have to reincarnate."
"Lin Xiu seemed so relaxed. I thought it was nothing, but I didn't expect its power to be so terrifying!"
"Lin Xiu is still strong!"
On the hillside, everyone looked at the large pit that appeared on the ground, their eyes filled with shock.
Looking at Lin Xiu again, unconsciously, they showed a hint of respect.
"Junior Xiao Yan, are you coming?"
Lin Xiu urged the Green Demon Flame to swallow a large amount of fire attribute energy, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
According to the Green Demon Flame's tolerance range, it could still swallow at least two portions of Green Lotus Earth Core Fire Energy.
The Green Demon Flame is derived from the Green Demon Flame Ox, created with the Flame Soul Separation Technique, specifically intended to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame in the future.
Currently in need of strong fire attribute energy supply, Xiao Yan's Green Lotus Core Flame is indeed a good source.
After all, what Xiao Yan is using is not the essence of the Green Lotus Core Flame, but only a part of its energy.
This happens to be exactly what Lin Xiu needs at the moment.
"No, my Angry Buddha Lotus Flame is unable to deal with Senior Brother. I've lost this match."
With those words, Xiao Yan waved his hand, descending from the air.
Others might not know, but he was aware that Senior Brother Lin Xiu was already holding back.
If he were to unleash his full strength, even their teacher might have to exert a considerable effort.
"Alright, I'll ask others for their opinions again."
Lin Xiu glanced at the rest of the new students.
Immediately, one after another, they all expressed surrender.
"I... Ah!"
As Lin Xiu's gaze swept over, Bai Shan's eyes held reluctance, yet he was helpless. Just as he was about to speak, a thumb-sized plasma beam accurately hit him.
Bai Shan's figure shot backward six or seven meters, crashing to the ground, rolling several times before finally stopping.
His white clothes were stained with dust, his skin blackened, hair standing on end, emitting black smoke.
"I..."
Just as he opened his mouth, Bai Shan's words were cut off by successive plasma strikes to his body.
For a moment, his body convulsed uncontrollably, his eyes rolling back.
Several times in succession, Bai Shan finally fainted.
"You all heard him, he said he won't surrendering."
Lin Xiu spread his hands to the new students around him, who stared at him with horrified eyes.
Then, Lin Xiu looked at Hu Jia, "You..."
The moment he spoke, a spark of electricity flicked out from his fingertips, shooting towards Hu Jia.
"I surrender! I surrender! I surrender to you, Lin Xiu!"
Hu Jia almost shouted, squeezing the words out of her throat at the fastest speed possible.
A trace of regret flashed in his eyes. Lin Xiu's fingertips moved slightly, and the electric spark grazed past Hu Jia's shoulder, landing on the ground.
She reacted so quickly, it's a pity...
Having witnessed Bai Shan's plight, the other new students, without waiting for Lin Xiu's gaze, surrendered one after another.
Three figures rushed from a distance and landed in the middle of the rocky area.
"In this year's 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition,' the senior students are victorious."
Elder Su's gaze swept over the new students, finally stopping in front of Lin Xiu, as he announced the result in a soft voice.
There was some silence at the scene.
The efforts of the new students over these days had all gone in vain, leaving them feeling extremely low-spirited.
However, facing the formidable Lin Xiu, they couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance.
As for the senior students and the Black White Evil Stopper who participated in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, they were equally unable to feel any joy.
Not only did they fail to earn any Fire Energy, but they also invested all the Fire Energy they had.
Most importantly, although Lin Xiu clearly had the ability to help, he waited until the end to intervene.
Although Lin Xiu defended their dignity, these people couldn't find any happiness in it.
"Lin Dun, go and collect all the Fire Energy for me."
Taking out the Red Fire Crystal Card, Lin Xiu threw it to Lin Dun.
Lin Dun caught it hastily, then went to collect the Fire Energy from the new students. In the end, he also transferred his own, along with Han Pu's and Qin Zhi's Fire Energy, into Lin Xiu's card.
"Brother Xiu, it's all here." Lin Dun handed back the Red Fire Crystal Card to him.
At this moment, Elder Su spoke up, "Lin Xiu, don't be in a hurry to put it away."
He took out a Purple Fire Crystal Card.
"There are two hundred days' worth of Fire Energy inside, as a reward for your outstanding performance this time. Transfer all the Fire Energy over, and then give me the Red Fire Crystal Card," Elder Su gestured.
"No problem, Elder."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu's eyes lit up. With the Purple Fire Crystal Card, he could also access the eighth floor of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
He had thought he would only earn some Fire Energy, but unexpectedly, there was also a pleasant surprise.
"Well, you may go back now."
Taking the Red Fire Crystal Card, Elder Su let Lin Xiu leave and then looked at Xiao Yan and the others.
After a brief contemplation, he continued, "Although you new students lost this competition, it's not entirely your fault."
Pausing for a moment, Elder Su cast a somewhat helpless glance at Lin Xiu's figure.
Encountering such a veteran guardian.
Even the former Xiu Ya and Yan Hao, would definitely have been powerless.
He continued, "Your resistance and unity have been observed by everyone.
So, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, Hu Jia, and Wu Hao, the Academy rewards you with thirty days of Fire Energy.
Additionally, Xiao Yan receives an additional Blue Fire Crystal Card.
As for the other new students, you will be compensated with five days of Fire Energy."
As his words fell, the new students all raised their heads, revealing expressions of surprise.
Xiao Yan was also momentarily stunned.
On the hillside, the senior students also heard, and couldn't help but feel astonished. Their envious gazes fell upon Xiao Yan and the others.
Elder Su continued with some more information, answering Xiao Yan and the others' questions. Then, leading them along the steps, they crossed the hillside and headed towards the inner courtyard.
On the other side,
As Lin Xiu walked halfway, he was stopped by Hu Gan.
The old man puffed his beard, glaring angrily, "It's been a year, and you turn your face faster than flipping a book!"
"Headmaster, how can you baselessly slander someone?" Lin Xiu looked bewildered.
"How could you forget what you promised me in the Headmaster's office? You agreed to help take care of Hu Jia. What were you doing just now? You naughty boy, you even wanted to shock her." Hu Gan saw clearly. If it weren't for Hu Jia's quick reaction, she might not have ended up as badly as Bai Shan, but she certainly wouldn't have been okay either.
"Headmaster, I was just teasing her, really." Lin Xiu's tone changed, "Why are you still in the inner courtyard? Shouldn't you have sent the students and returned to the outer courtyard?"
"Don't deflect. I'm asking you, did you really write down the Dou Technique in the Book Collection Hall before?" Hu Gan inquired.
"I did write down a few." Lin Xiu paused, not denying it.
After all, he had already learned them himself. How could you expect me to forget?
As for compensation, he had nothing anyway, so he didn't care.
"You little rascal, not satisfied with taking two spots, and pulling this stunt. Since the founding of Jia Nan Academy, you've really set quite a few precedents." Hu Gan shook his head gently after pointing a few times.
"That green ox just now, was it a fire spirit condensed by your Flame Soul Separation Technique?"
