Chapter 190 - Chapter 190: Xiao Yan Leaves the Tower a Year Later

Su Qian's request wasn't particularly harsh, especially considering it was for Lin Xiu's own good.

Lin Xiu nodded directly in agreement.

During this time, he hadn't planned to leave the Academy.

Successively obtaining the legacies of Eight Gates, Ground Fire Sect, and Han Feng, Lin Xiu happened to need some time to digest them.

After leaving, Lin Xiu returned to his residence.

In the following days, he began a dull life of cultivation.

Encounters with Protector Xuan and Protector Wu made Lin Xiu realize that his own strength was still insufficient.

If he had enough Attribute Points at the time, he could have completely raised his Physique to Rank 7. Although still at the 1 Star Dou Emperor level, the change in combat power would have been significantly different.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

[Occupation: Alchemist]

[Grade: Nine]

[Attribute Points: 5]

Lin Xiu's gaze swept over the panel from top to bottom, feeling particularly hard-earned.

In this past year, although he didn't need to worry about advancing in realm, the issue of Attribute Points had been plaguing him.

Due to his increased strength, Lin Xiu's combat power had become terrifying, far surpassing others at the same realm.

Moreover, the acquisition of Dou Technique experience was closely related to combat, and simply practicing meant progress was too slow.

This also meant that Lin Xiu couldn't spar with Su Qian anymore.

In helplessness, he could only turn his attention to the forests around the Academy and engage in battles with Magic Beasts.

Through relentless effort, his cultivation of Qi Methods underwent fusion and successfully advanced to High Earth Rank. The speed of absorbing Dou Qi became faster than before, and the condensed Dou Qi became denser.

The Starlight Body Forging Technique also fused with two other body-refining Dou Techniques, becoming the Star Fire Spirit Body, which better suited Lin Xiu's Physique transformed by Magic Beasts.

Now, activating the Star Fire Spirit Body could even alter his appearance, faintly carrying a hint of the Emperor of Flames' true form.

His attack Dou Techniques consisted of one High Earth Rank and two Mid Earth Rank techniques fused together.

As for Low Earth Rank and Black Rank Dou Techniques, he had even more.

If not for lacking sufficient experience and Attribute Points, he could have acquired several more advanced Dou Techniques.

"I must venture out. Staying in the Academy alone won't provide much help for advancing my strength," Lin Xiu pondered.

Not long ago, he had visited the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Xiao Yan's strength had surpassed 7-Star Dou King, and it wouldn't be long before he completely assimilated the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Oh, he's here."

Suddenly, Lin Xiu looked up towards the door. Despite the obstruction of the door panels, he discerned the approaching presence from outside, unmistakably belonging to Xiao Yan.

After a few breaths, there was movement outside the door.

"Xiao Yan? You're still alive?"

"No, Lin Xiu is in cultivation. No one knows when he will finish. I can't let you disturb him."

"What? Let me ask him. No, no, you better wait for him to come out of seclusion first."

Du Chaoping and Leng Bai intercepted a figure at the door.

Not far away, Zi Yan rested one hand on the table, partially turning her body with a guarded gaze fixed on Xiao Yan.

Being intercepted by the two, Xiao Yan looked somewhat anxious.

The time consumed in assimilating the Fallen Heart Flame this time was longer than he had imagined.

Upon exiting the tower, he realized it had been only about a year and a half, and Xiao Yan didn't expect much change in the outside world.

His own strength had leaped from the pinnacle of Dou Spirit directly to the pinnacle of Dou King.

Xiao Yan planned meticulously; he intended to seek revenge on Han Feng and clean up the mess for his teacher.

His plan seemed perfect: by dealing with Han Feng, he could not only settle old scores but also obtain Han Feng's Heavenly Flame.

Originally, the evolution of the Flame Mantra after assimilating the Fallen Heart Flame had already boosted his strength to the pinnacle of Dou King.

If he could also absorb Han Feng's Heavenly Flame, he would definitely have a chance to break through to Dou Emperor.

Having reached Dou Emperor strength, coupled with the Tian Huo Three Mysterious Changes and the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, Xiao Yan felt confident in facing Yun Shan upon his return.

However...

The words of the elder in the tower caused Xiao Yan's mind to blank out on the spot.

"Feng City was destroyed, and Han Feng died a year ago."

After some investigation, Xiao Yan learned that Lin Xiu had led the event and successfully killed Han Feng.

Without time to recuperate, Xiao Yan headed straight to Lin Xiu's residence.

It had been a year. Did the Sea Heart Flame still remain in Senior Brother Lin Xiu's hands?

He was somewhat worried.

Just as both sides were deadlocked, a door suddenly opened from inside.

A handsome young man stepped out.

"Senior Brother Lin Xiu!"

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Xiao Yan? Seeing you here, it seems you've successfully survived," he exclaimed.

Lin Xiu pretended to be stunned, a hint of surprise showing on his face.

Du Chaoping and Leng Bai, seeing Lin Xiu emerge from seclusion, no longer obstructed Xiao Yan.

Passing between the two, Xiao Yan hurried forward and arrived three steps in front of Lin Xiu.

His expression serious, hands clasped in a fist, Xiao Yan respectfully bowed to Lin Xiu.

Huh?

Lin Xiu was momentarily startled, reaching out to stop him before Xiao Yan could bow for real. "Junior Brother, what are you doing?"

"Senior Brother Lin Xiu, if it weren't for your help that day, I, Xiao Yan, would probably have perished in... in that sea of lava. You saved my life, so I must bow to you," Xiao Yan said sincerely, his expression earnest and not at all feigned.

Because he dared not imagine how he would have faced the Fallen Heart Flame if Lin Xiu hadn't appeared that day.

If he hadn't persevered and been engulfed by the Fallen Heart Flame, how could he avenge the Xiao Family? Who would save his father? Who would settle the score with the Misty Cloud Sect?

Zi Yan and the other two were completely bewildered by this scene.

When did Lin Xiu save Xiao Yan?

He mentioned the lava world? Could it be that Xiao Yan had been at the bottom of the tower all this time?

Before the three could inquire further, they had no idea that Xiao Yan had emerged from the bottom of the tower.

"You're being too kind, Junior Brother," Lin Xiu said politely, though his eyes were quite pleased with Xiao Yan's attitude.

If he didn't know Xiao Yan so well, he wouldn't have bothered to spend the effort to check on Xiao Yan's situation now and then.

"Senior Brother, I just came out and heard that the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region was killed by you. Is that true?" After expressing his gratitude, Xiao Yan finally asked the question he was most curious and eager about.

He looked a bit nervous.

"Yes, it's true."

It was a well-known fact, and Lin Xiu naturally wouldn't hide it. He glanced in Zi Yan's direction. "Back then, Han Feng arranged for Zi Yan to be kidnapped to target me. That crossed my bottom line."

"Well done! Han Feng was truly a despicable and cunning villain with no limits." Xiao Yan, who had studied under Yao Chen, knew every detail of what Han Feng had done to his teacher, and his hatred for Han Feng ran deep in his bones.

Moreover, Han Feng also practiced the Flame Mantra.

Both of them cultivated the same Qi Method, requiring a Heavenly Flame, which made their conflict irreconcilable.

"Senior Brother, I'd like to ask you about some private matters regarding Han Feng. Could we talk about it in private?" Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a hint of hope.
