People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 68 Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower

The next morning.

When Chen Xiao woke up from his training, he followed the group of old students and came to a core area in the inner courtyard.

Tianfen Refining Qi Tower!
Standing in the spacious open space and waiting, looking at the mysterious black tower buried deep underground in front of him, Chen Xiao frowned slightly.

He noticed something just by standing outside and before actually entering the tower.

This place is not very friendly to him.

The fire energy here is several times more concentrated than that in the Tagor Desert. In comparison, the energy of other attributes is extremely thin.

"Open the tower!"

After waiting for a long time, with the sound of a bell, an old voice came from inside the black tower.

Immediately, the tightly closed tower door burst open, and the old students waiting outside rushed in in groups.

Chen Xiao noticed that the first few groups of people who entered the Black Tower all wore badges on their chests, and they should be the larger gangs in the academy.

After these groups of people entered first, it was the turn of the small forces in the academy and those who had not joined any gangs.

Chen Xiao fell behind the team, neither hurried nor slow, silently feeling the specialness of this Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. The closer he got, the more blocked his heart felt.

Arriving at the gate, Chen Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed the depression that was welling up in his heart, raised his feet, and stepped heavily into the darkness behind the gate without hesitation.

The light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and a moment later, Chen Xiao felt his feet stepping on the hard stone surface.

Before he could relax, a heart-wrenching burning pain came from his body, as if an invisible flame ignited in his meridians, burning wantonly.

hiss~
Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Xiao still couldn't help but let out a soft hiss. Then, he quickly practiced his skills and mobilized the fighting spirit in his body to encircle and suppress the raging invisible flames.

"Chichi~"

In an instant, the icy fighting spirit collided with the invisible flame, and strange hissing sounds rang out in Chen Xiao's body. Visible streams of steam overflowed from the pores all over his body, making him look extremely eye-catching at this moment.

"Is this a freshman?"

"Is the Fire Energy Hunting Competition over?"

Seeing Chen Xiao's appearance, the old students around him were surprised.

When they were waiting in the open space outside just now, some old students had noticed Chen Xiao's unfamiliar face, but they did not associate him with the new students.

After all, his strength was stronger than most of them, and it didn't seem like what a freshman should have.

Although he looked unfamiliar, it was normal for an unfamiliar strong man to appear among the more than a thousand students in the inner courtyard.

Only now did they realize the truth with shock.

Because only the freshmen who enter the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower for the first time will experience the burning of the heart fire!

"Silence! Go do what you need to do, don't crowd in here and block the way."

A light rebuke was heard, and an elder from the inner courtyard in simple clothes appeared. He glared at the chattering old students, and then turned his attention to Chen Xiao.

"Five-star Dou Ling, this year's new student is quite terrifying, but unfortunately... it has ice attribute."

As an elder of the inner court, he knew clearly what was suppressed under the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

The Fallen Heart Flame is known as a cheating device for cultivation.

It is precisely because of the miraculous effect of the Fallen Heart Flame that this Tianfen Refining Qi Tower has become the best place for cultivation that the inner courtyard students yearn for.

However, the same environment can provide completely different kinds of help to people with different attributes.

In this Tianfen Refining Gas Tower, other attributes can also enjoy some benefits brought by the Fallen Heart Flame.

But the effect is far less than that of people with fire attribute.

Within ten days or half a month, the gap may not be too obvious, but after a few years, the gap will be visible to the naked eye.

Many of the senior students in the inner courtyard were far more powerful than their fellow fire-attributed students when they first entered the inner courtyard, but within just a few years, they would be caught up or even surpassed. Such examples were countless in the inner courtyard!
Chen Xiao was not paying attention to the situation outside. At this moment, all his thoughts were focused on the strange heart fire in his body.

The heart fire is invisible and intangible, but people can feel it clearly. Once the ice-attributed fighting spirit comes into contact with it, it makes a hissing sound, causing the originally thick fighting spirit to shrink rapidly, as if it has become thinner in an instant.

However, Chen Xiao could feel that the Dou Qi that had been roasted by the heart fire in his body had become more condensed compared to the other Dou Qi that had not been exposed to the heart fire.

This is a qualitative improvement!
"The Skyburning Refining Qi Tower is still useful to me!"

With a slight smile in his heart, Chen Xiao relaxed and continued to mobilize the fighting spirit in his body to flow towards the cluster of heart fire.

After an unknown amount of time, the burning pain in his body subsided, the fire in his heart completely disappeared, and Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that came into view was an old face.

"You are the first person of ice attribute to enter the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower and last twenty-one minutes. Moreover, I can sense that the heart fire in your body has been exhausted. This should be the real reason for your awakening, right?"

In other words, twenty-one minutes is not Chen Xiao's limit, but the limit of that heart fire.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, "Thank you for your care, Elder."

The reason why he dared to step into the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower so casually was because he had sufficient understanding of it and knew that there were elders guarding inside and no accidents would occur.

"It's just my duty. My last name is Liu, so you can just call me Elder Liu."

"Since you're a freshman, I'll explain a few more things to you. The Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower is of minimal help to those with Water and Ice attributes, but it can still be used to condense Dou Qi. So, I suggest you spend an hour or two here every day to practice, or a few days a month to condense Dou Qi. You don't have to be like some of those guys who want to sleep in the tower all the time."

Elder Liu shook his head.

He had already become a five-star Dou Ling just after arriving at the inner courtyard. Such talent was worthy of his attention.

As for whether Chen Xiao would listen or not, that was not something he could decide.

"I understand. Thank you, Elder Liu."

"Well, let's go."

After separating from Elder Liu, Chen Xiao looked for an empty training room on the first floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Unfortunately, this time is the peak period for cultivation, and there is no idle training room on the first floor.

The same is true for the second layer.

It was not until Chen Xiao entered the third level, which had higher requirements, that he found several unoccupied training rooms.

The process of entering one of them is very simple. Insert the fire crystal card into the groove next to the seat, and the fire energy required for the day will be automatically deducted. No one will disturb you before you leave.

Chen Xiao practiced until noon, and only then did he use the heart fire that emerged from time to time to initially condense the fighting spirit in his body.

At this moment, the total amount of fighting spirit surging in Chen Xiao's body was almost reduced by half.

But he could feel that if we really talked about combat power, he should be a bit stronger now than he was this morning.

This is the difference between quality and quantity!
Feeling that the effect of his training on the third floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower was still a bit slow, Chen Xiao put away the Fire Crystal Card, stood up, pushed open the training room, and prepared to go to the lower floors to experience it.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

As soon as he pushed open the training room, Chen Xiao saw Zi Yan, who was wearing a white dress, sitting outside bored, holding a half-eaten medicinal herb that looked like Ganoderma lucidum in her hand.

"?"

"Didn't you ask me to come find you after the New Fire Hunting Competition is over?"

Sensing Chen Xiao's doubts, Zi Yan blinked her big eyes and replied.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao suddenly understood.

Two days later, the Fire Energy Hunting Competition was indeed almost over.
