Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 70 Opening the Tower

The towering buildings came into Lin Feng's view, but what attracted him most at this moment was a figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Elder Lin Feng, I am Su Qian!"

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback by the warm words. He was greeted by the Grand Elder as soon as he entered the inner courtyard. When did he become so important?

Hu Qian, who was standing to the side, greeted him with a smile and then nudged Lin Feng's shoulder.

"Elder Lin Feng, I specifically passed your message on to the Grand Elder, which is why he made a special trip to see you."

Before he could finish three sentences, Hu Qian's true intentions were revealed.

"Elder Lin Feng, now that you've received this preferential treatment, don't forget about my elixirs!"

"Lin Feng will always remember the Vice Dean's kindness."

Lin Feng clasped his hands slightly and said firmly. Putting aside the matter of the last transaction, the fact that Hu Qian made the decision and even received a promise from the academy for free already made Lin Feng extremely grateful.

Recommending him to the Grand Elder is a great convenience, even though his talent will eventually attract the Grand Elder's attention. However, a recommendation from an acquaintance, someone close to him, is naturally more intimate.

Otherwise, if it involves some confidential matters, such as the matter of the strange fire, it is unknown how long it will take to be informed, although Lin Feng has never had any intention of taking this mature Fallen Heart Flame.

After all, Lin Feng was already hesitant to approach it based solely on its Dou Zong strength, let alone the fact that he didn't have an old man to help him absorb it. Moreover, if he really took this strange fire, not only would he be disliked by everyone, which would be inconsistent with his principles, but whether he could even leave the academy would be another matter entirely.

After thanking Hu Qian, Lin Feng turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to the old man who was standing with his hands behind his back.

"My name is Lin Feng, and I pay my respects to the Grand Elder!"

"Hahaha." The old man in front of me was dressed formally, but he wasn't as serious as he seemed. "I've heard of Elder Lin Feng's reputation even back in the inner courtyard."

"The future of the academy still rests on prodigies like Elder Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng wasn't flattered by the old man's praise, but he was rather pleased. It wasn't anything else; within this small inner courtyard, with the old man as his backer, coupled with his own strength to fight anyone below the Dou Huang level, he could practically move freely.

"Elder, Elder Lin Feng, in that case, I will return to the outer courtyard first."

Seeing that the two were having a pleasant conversation, Hu Qian greeted them and prepared to leave.

"Vice Dean, wait a moment. I heard some time ago that a student from the outer academy disappeared without a trace. Is there some unusual activity in the Black Corner Region?"

As soon as Elder Su Qian finished speaking, Hu Qian, who was about to take a step, paused and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"That's true. According to the informants, this is mostly the remnants of sects that were wiped out by the academy a few years ago. They want to stir up trouble again and take revenge on the academy. However, we don't know where they are hiding yet."

"There are indeed such a bold individuals. If you have any news, the vice dean must inform you so that we can arrange for the inner dean's elders and elite students to go and wipe them out."

Upon hearing Elder Su Qian's words, Hu Qian was overjoyed. "Haha, if there is any news, I will certainly inform the Elder!"

After a flurry of planning, Vice Dean Hu Qian left satisfied.

After Hu Qian's figure disappeared, Elder Su Qian turned slightly and asked Lin Feng.

"Elder Lin Feng, would you like me to lead the way, or would you like to explore the inner courtyard on your own?"

After a moment's thought, Lin Feng told Su Qian that he wanted to wander around. Su Qian readily agreed, and after a brief greeting, a spatial fluctuation was emitted, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

After standing still and thinking for a while, Lin Feng also dashed towards the group of buildings where cheers were coming from time to time.

Walking through this vast inner courtyard, Lin Feng was not wearing the robes that signified his status as an elder. Therefore, apart from the occasional commotion caused by his extraordinary appearance, everything was calm and peaceful.

However, Lin Feng felt a sense of emotion at this moment, "As expected of the famous Canaan Academy, especially the students in the inner academy."

Looking at the students who kept passing by, although they were a bit older than Lin Feng at this moment, the group of Grand Masters still surprised Lin Feng.

In particular, a woman with bright silver hair slowly appeared, surrounded by many female students. In Lin Feng's perception, her fighting spirit aura was extremely stable, without the slightest hint of weakness.

This reminded Lin Feng of a treasure in this place. With that thought, Lin Feng lost his desire to wander around and disappeared from the spot in a few flashes.

"Did the sect leader see anything unusual in that direction just now?"

After Lin Feng disappeared, a voice rang out from the woman with bright silver hair.

"No, I just thought that junior was a bit strange."

The woman spoke in a cool, clear voice, yet it did not give off a sense of distance.

"Hehehe, I bet the sect leader is just lustful because that junior is so handsome!"

A female student with pigtails next to her spoke up with a grin, showing unusual boldness.

"Alright, you little brat, how dare you flirt with the sect leader! I'll punish you properly!"

Before the aloof woman could speak, a red-haired woman with long, wavy hair, who was looking at the woman with bright silver hair with deep affection in her eyes, spoke first, and then pretended to grab her with a fierce expression.

To everyone's surprise, the girl with pigtails seemed to have some experience; she had already jumped away, turned around, playfully stuck out her tongue, and then hopped and skipped ahead. The girl with big waves saw this and hurriedly chased after her.

The other women were not surprised by the sight, but the sect leader, who had always been calm, finally rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Lin Feng was not fortunate enough to witness the interactions between the female students, as he was already heading towards a strange black tower that he had heard about.

"Tap, tap, tap"

First came the sound of hurried footsteps, then a sunken area appeared in Lin Feng's view, followed by the huge black tower with only a small section of its black spire showing.

When Lin Feng stopped, this was the scene he saw. It was precisely at the moment the tower was opening that many students outside were frantically pushing and shoving, seemingly trying to rush inside and grab a good spot as soon as the tower opened.

However, some positions were vacant, with only a dozen or so people occupying a single spot. When Lin Feng's powerful soul perception silently probed the area, he immediately understood why.

The reason was that the leaders all exuded the aura of high-level Dou Ling, while there was only one force led by a female Dou Shi, who also had a low-level Dou Ling guarding her side, so her identity must also be extraordinary.

However, Lin Feng no longer considered these students, except for those with powerful backers. Lin Feng, however, stood at a distance, because he suddenly realized he had neither a crystal card nor fire energy.

Just as Lin Feng was about to leave, a group of beautiful figures appeared behind him, but this had nothing to do with him, and he continued walking away.

"Junior, is there something you're having trouble saying?"

A clear, cool voice rang out from among the group of figures, causing Lin Feng to stop in his tracks and turn slightly to look at the scene before him. Not only Lin Feng, but everyone around them turned to look at her as she spoke.

This woman, with her waist-length silver hair and a rare silver outfit, was not only beautiful but also the leader of the emerging force, Moon Spirit, which had already established itself within the inner courtyard.

"Who is this pretty boy that he's attracted the attention of the Moon Spirit leader?"

"I don't know. Although she is indeed a bit better looking than me, can looks put food on the table?"

Upon hearing this, the person beside him glanced at Lin Feng's handsome face and that inexplicable aura. Comparing him to the person who had spoken so vehemently, they exchanged a knowing look but remained silent, understanding each other perfectly, for this person was known among the students as the "Honey Badger." At this crucial juncture, with the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower about to open, there was no need to waste cultivation time on momentary verbal sparring.

Although everyone was curious about Lin Feng's identity, they did not move their feet, showing that their curiosity was not as important as a good place to cultivate. Just as Lin Feng was about to answer.

"Thump"

An ancient bell rang out, and everyone looked up to see the tightly closed black gate slowly opening.

"Open the tower!"

Next, I need to get to know Zi Yan. What kind of storyline should I use to start? This is really giving me a headache.
