Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 66 Fighting Beyond One's Level: Just a Xiao Family Tradition

"This girl—"

The elder guarding the tower smiled slightly and nodded.

Turning around and seeing Xiao Yi's somewhat confused expression, she then said softly, "Xiao Yi, right—"

"Now that you've just entered the inner courtyard, let me show you around the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower—"

Xiao Yi nodded slightly: "Thank you, Elder—"

"I am the guardian elder of this Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower. From now on, you may call me Elder Liu—"

"Come on, let me show you around—"

Elder Liu spoke softly, and then led Xiao Yi to explain the first floor.

"Entering the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower for cultivation is not limited by level. As long as you have enough fire energy, you can cultivate on any level you want—"

"I noticed your soul power was quite strong just now; are you an alchemist?"

Elder Liu slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Yi, asking a question.

Xiao Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "This humble one is not very talented; I have only studied alchemy for a short time—"

"Elder, I wonder how much fire energy is required to qualify for the sixth level that Senior Sister Han Yue just entered?"

Elder Liu looked down, paused for a moment, and then continued, "The sixth level—"

"Cultivating to the sixth level for one day requires six days' worth of fire energy—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The sixth level requires six days of fire energy, and I only have the basic seven days' worth. That's barely enough for one day of cultivation to enter the sixth level—"

"It seems that fire is still a valuable commodity within the inner courtyard; you can't do without it—"

After muttering to himself, Xiao Yi slowly lowered his head to look at the bottom of the tower where molten lava was constantly churning.

Using his soul power to probe, Xiao Yi was instantly met with a sea of ​​fire, from which a gigantic fire python suddenly appeared.

The fire python trembled violently, and Xiao Yi felt as if his soul had been ripped away.

Elder Liu's words beside him also became unclear.

"Little guy!"

Don't let your mind be clouded!

Just then, Xiao Xuan's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yi's mind, and then a red aura flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.

Xiao Yi finally came to his senses.

"Alright, that's about it for the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower—"

"If you ever have any questions in the future, just come and ask me—"

"You have just been subjected to the scorching heat of the heart; it is not advisable for you to continue cultivating in this tower—"

"Go back and get some rest early—"

After Elder Liu finished speaking softly, he led Xiao Yi away from the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower.

"Ancestor, have you noticed—the Fallen Heart Flame at the bottom of the tower—?"

Xiao Yi murmured to himself and asked Xiao Xuan.

"That's natural—"

"But judging from this, it has been sealed at the bottom of this tower for too long and has already developed sentience—"

"Little one, with your current strength, even with my help, it would be extremely dangerous for you to subdue this Fallen Heart Flame—"

"The most urgent task is to enhance our strength and make thorough preparations before taking action."

Xiao Xuan's voice slowly rang out.

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.

The most urgent task is to prepare fire energy. Only by collecting enough fire energy can we enter the Tianying Qi Refining Tower to cultivate at a higher level!

Only then can one maximize their strength.

As far as Xiao Yi knows, there are only a few ways to obtain fire energy.

For Xiao Yi, sweeping the pagoda and copying scriptures were absolutely impossible.

The fastest way to clear the Fire Energy dungeon right now is to head to the Arena!

bet!

After all, nothing is faster than gambling.

The arena of the inner court of Canaan.

Xiao Yi had already made up his mind and acted swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the arena.

The arena was bustling with noise and excitement.

As soon as Xiao Yi stepped into the arena, his eyes were drawn to a dark-skinned, burly man on the stage.

"Is there anyone else who wants to come up and take on the challenge?"

"The rules remain the same: no matter how much fire energy you have, you can participate in the challenge!"

"If you defeat me, all my fire energy is yours!"

The burly man held a Azure Fire Crystal Card in his hand, his face full of confidence, and loudly asked the crowd of onlookers.

"Azure Fire Crystal Card—"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but murmur.

Because the Azure Fire Crystal Card means that it contains at least two hundred days of fire energy.

For Xiao Yi now, two hundred days of fire energy is quite good.

Seeing that no one in the crowd was willing to step forward to challenge, Xiao Yi took a step forward.

"I wonder if I could take on this challenge—"

After saying this, Xiao Yi raised the black fire crystal card in his hand and lightly leaped onto the arena.

"Excuse me, senior, my black card only contains seven days of fire energy. May I attempt the challenge?"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, looked at the burly man, and asked softly.

"Brother, you look unfamiliar. Are you a freshman?"

The burly man, still sporting a confident smile, slowly stepped forward and asked.

Xiao Yi nodded: "Yes, freshmen—"

The burly man sized Xiao Yi up and down: "One-star Great Dou Master—"

"Seven days of fire energy? That's a bit too little—"

Seeing the burly man hesitate, Xiao Yi immediately said softly, "Senior, if I can defeat you, all I need is for you to possess the Sixty Heavenly Flames—"

Upon hearing this, the burly man burst into laughter: "Only sixty days?"

"Of course—"

"But brother, I must remind you, if you lose, all your seven days of fire energy will be mine—"

"I don't need to explain how important fire energy is in the inner courtyard—"

The burly man looked completely confident, as if Xiao Yi's Seven Days Fire Energy was already his for the taking before the game even started.

"Thank you for reminding me, senior—I am very clear about the importance of fire energy—"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, then spoke softly.

"Alright! I accept your challenge!"

The burly man nodded and immediately agreed.

Although a seven-day fire is not much in the eyes of a strong man, even a small mosquito is still meat.

He was still quite confident in dealing with Xiao Yi, a one-star Great Dou Master.

Those in the audience immediately started whispering when they saw Xiao Yi step onto the stage: "This kid must be desperate for fame—"

"I already said I'm a freshman, I don't understand this arena!"

"If he had known that Cheng Kui on stage was specifically there to earn fire energy, he wouldn't have acted so impulsively—"

"What does this have to do with freshmen? I think this kid's just stupid!"

"Cheng Kui is a genuine five-star Grand Dou Master, while he's only a one-star. How does he have the courage to go on stage and challenge me!"

No one in the crowd below the stage thought highly of Xiao Yi. They all regarded him as a foolish young man who had just entered the inner courtyard and was eager to give fire energy to others.

"Hey bro, are you ready?"

On the stage, Cheng Kui spoke in a deep voice, and then yellow battle aura slowly emerged around him, converging on the giant spiked club in his hand.

"Cheng Kui, a five-star Grand Dou Master!"

Xiao Yi remained calm and composed. A flash of cold light appeared in his hand, and the Dragon Abyss Breaking Formation Spear was unleashed in response.

"Xiao Yi, a one-star Great Dou Master!"

To outsiders, the difference in Dou Qi between a one-star Great Dou Master and a five-star Great Dou Master was like an insurmountable chasm, and Xiao Yi had absolutely no chance of winning.

Xiao Yi, however, remained calm and composed, as a member of the Xiao family.

The ability to fight opponents of higher levels is ingrained in their genes.
