Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 15 Flame Lizard

The semi-saint sent by Jiang Cheng to protect Jiang Xing is named Lin Shan. He is a high-level semi-saint with extremely powerful strength.

Ji Feng used to protect him, so he was hesitant to go to Canaan Academy to snatch the Strange Flame.

Because he remembered that the two elders of Canaan Academy were at the half-step Dou Zun realm, he was unsure whether Ji Feng could bring him in quietly.

Fearing discovery, they summoned Mang Qianchi, the dean of Canaan Academy, which would have been dangerous.

When Mang Qianchi appeared in the original work, he was a high-level semi-saint; now he is at least a mid-level semi-saint.

A half-saint, situated between a Dou Zun and a Dou Sheng, possesses immense strength simply from the presence of a "character" in their title. This can be described as: "Having just entered the Saint realm, they far surpass those in the Zun realm."

It's definitely not something that Ji Feng, a five-star Dou Zun, can handle.

Now that's good, with Lin Shan, a high-level half-saint, even if we encounter Mang Qianchi and can't beat him while stealing the strange fire, I believe Lin Shan can take him away and run away.

Okay, that's settled!

So, on the second day after the demigod arrived, Jiang Xing led the demigod toward Canaan Academy.

The inner courtyard of Canaan College.

Before Jiang Xing was a sunken terrain, within which stood an extremely large black tower, but it was buried deep underground, with only a section of its spire and a pitch-black entrance visible above the ground.

Seeing the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower with such a unique design, Jiang Xing was very curious about who designed this bizarre structure.

The space around the tower seemed to be subtly distorted and wrinkled.

I remember Hu Qian saying in the original work that to set up a defense for this distorted space, one would need at least the strength of a Dou Zun.

However, this defense should only be effective against the strange fire, because it did not stop Jiang Xing and Lin Shan when they entered.

Lin Shan easily led Jiang Xing past the Dou Wang and Dou Huang elders guarding the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and arrived at the bottom of the tower.

Upon arriving at the bottom of the tower, Jiang Xing sensed that the air was filled with violent fire-attribute energy.

The fire-attribute energy here is exceptionally pure, making it a good training ground for fire-attribute cultivators.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a fire python, whose entire body was invisible, almost transparent, with a head a full ten feet in size and covered in flames, burst out of the magma.

As soon as Jiang Xing entered the bottom of the tower, the aura of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame on his body was detected by the fire python transformed from the Fallen Heart Flame.

The Fallen Heart Flame had already developed some intelligence. Sensing the aura of a different flame weaker than itself, it became extremely excited and couldn't wait to burst out of the magma to devour the different flame.

But as soon as it came out, it sensed Lin Shan's presence and became timid, quickly burrowing back into the lava.

Lin Shan originally wanted to take action directly and capture the Fallen Heart Flame, but Jiang Xing stopped him.

"We'll collect this strange flame last, and then we'll run."

"Collecting it at the end? Isn't this Fallen Heart Flame our goal?"

Lin Shan was somewhat curious.

"I sense something I want down there. Let's go down and take a look."

Jiang Xing certainly couldn't say that he already knew what was down there, so he could only give a vague answer.

At the same time, Jiang Xing suddenly felt that Ji Feng was more useful.

Although Ji Feng is not as strong as Lin Shan, his advantage is that he never asks many questions about what Jiang Xing tells him, which makes Jiang Xing feel very comfortable using him.

"Besides, young master, the strongest people at Canaan Academy are only two nine-star Dou Zong. Even if we just steal them, what can they do to us?"

And so, Lin Shan started digging deeper again.

"This Canaan Academy was founded by the Thunder Clan's Half-Saint Elder, Mang Qianchi. It's best not to offend him unless absolutely necessary. Keep a low profile."

"Thunder Clan?"

Lin Shan shuddered when he heard about the Lei Clan, the most volatile of the eight ancient clans.

"Then let's go down and find what the young master needs."

Jiang Xing and Lin Shan plunged headfirst into the lava.

In the vast, endless magma, everything was crimson. Jiang Xing instinctively used his soul to probe the surroundings and vaguely sensed a group of living beings deeper within the magma.

"Young master, there is a group of red creatures deeper inside."

Lin Shan is a high-level semi-saint, and his soul realm has reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm, so he naturally discovered more than Jiang Xing.

"Let's dive down."

The deeper Jiang Xing went, the clearer his perception became.

There, a group of red figures swam in the lava. Their bodies were entirely crimson, the same color as the surrounding lava, and covered with red scales. Their red scale tails swayed slightly.

Those figures all stood upright on their feet. Jiang Xing also noticed that their feet were unusually wide, their heads were round, and their eyes, which appeared somewhat small, revealed a hint of ferocity. Their rather large mouths were slightly open, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth. The whole thing looked just like a lizard that could walk upright.

If I had to describe them in one word, it would be "ugly," and in two words, "extremely ugly."

Jiang Xing knew these creatures were fire lizards, and one of his purposes in coming here was to obtain them.

Jiang Xing remembered that killing these fire lizards would produce a bead containing abundant fire-attribute energy.

These beads are a valuable item for those who cultivate fire-attribute techniques, so Jiang Xing plans to collect all the crystals from these fire lizards and take them back to absorb them slowly.

At this moment, Jiang Xing and Lin Shan were very close to the group of fire lizards.

There were about fifty fire lizards in this group. Most of them had the aura of Dou Wang and Dou Huang, a small number were at the Dou Zong level, and there were three whose auras were so strong that even Jiang Xing couldn't see through them. Jiang Xing guessed that the strength of these three fire lizards was likely at the Dou Zun level.

Seeing this scene filled Jiang Xing with excitement.

He randomly encountered a group of fire lizards and found three of them at the Dou Zun level. If he could collect all the lizards in this magma... tsk tsk tsk, Jiang Xing couldn't even imagine what level he could reach if he refined all these crystals!

Despite his excitement, Jiang Xing didn't want these fire lizards to escape, so he quickly ordered Lin Shan to kill them.

"Lin Shan, there's a red bead inside these lizards. Go and kill them all."

"Yes, young master."

Upon receiving the order, Lin Shan charged towards the group of fire lizards.

Seeing Lin Shan rush forward, Jiang Xing quickly swam upstream, maintaining a safe distance from the fire lizards.

These fire lizards are at the Dou Zun level; if he were to attack, Lin Shan would have to be distracted protecting him.

It's better to just stay in the distance and watch.

Lin Shan launched a sneak attack on the fire lizards, instantly killing nearly ten Dou Huang-level and one Dou Zun-level fire lizard. The other fire lizards, seeing their companions suddenly die, stared at Lin Shan with fierce eyes, then let out a piercing scream and pounced on him.

Lin Shan, naturally unafraid, also went to meet them.

Lin Shan's strength far surpassed that of these fire lizards. With each attack, several fire lizards would be blown to pieces, and a crimson bead would fall from their bodies.

Before long, Lin Shan had killed all the fire lizards and collected more than fifty crimson beads.
