Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 40 Departure, Soul Cang's Complex Feelings

outside the house.

Seeing that the energy had returned to a stable state, leaving only a vortex of fighting spirit slowly rotating above, Hun Xiaoqiang and Hun Wu also left one after another.

A long time has passed.

Squeak!

The door opened, and Hun Cang walked out. His cold and imposing aura had diminished considerably, and he now appeared gentle and refined.

This is the difference between the Soul Clan's cultivation techniques and the Suppressing Burning Technique.

Upon arriving at the front hall, Hun Cang ordered his men to find Hun Xiaoqiang.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, the Vice Palace Master has been gone for two days," a member of the Soul Palace replied respectfully, bowing his head.

"How long have I been in seclusion?" Hun Cang was taken aback.

"Three days."

"Alright, I understand. Go ahead and get busy." After dismissing the other party, Hun Cang sat silently in the main hall and flicked his finger to take out a jade slip from his storage ring.

He poured battle qi into it, and Hun Cang sent out a command.

A few breaths later, the jade slip flickered, and then a thought entered his mind.

"Not in the Jia Ma Empire? They found clues about the Strange Fire and went to collect it?" After processing the information transmitted from the jade slip, Hun Cang was a little confused.

No, where were you all this time?

Currently, Hun Cang's strength is around three-star Dou Shi, and the journey to Canaan Academy in the Black Corner Region is quite long.

It would be much more comfortable if a Dou Zong could pick you up and drop you off.

"Forget it, let him keep searching. I'll go myself. If he can find me a different kind of fire, that would be a good thing." Hun Cang sighed. He wasn't worried about the Black Corner Region, which was known for its lack of mercy.

The battle qi cultivated previously did not completely disappear, but was condensed into pure battle qi crystals by the strange fire and preserved in the body.

Each time he cultivates, he can rely on this power to recover as quickly as possible.

Based on his experience cultivating with the Black Jade Lotus Platform and the Fire Lotus Seed, Hun Cang believes that his strength will be restored within a year at most.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to cultivate from an ordinary person to a Dou Huang in less than three to five years.

Even three to five years is considered quite fast, given one's exceptional talent.

Of course, those with bloodline talents, like the Soul Clan, are an exception.

Hun Cang was quite satisfied with the current situation: "A three-star Dou Shi, being admitted to Canaan Academy is definitely not a problem. The next step is to see how to get closer to the Qi Refining Tower."

Everything in the Gama Empire was back on track, and Hun Cang didn't linger. Once he made his decision, he immediately took action.

He first left the Soul Palace, then went to a nearby city, paid a certain fee, and began his journey to the Black Corner Region.

Because of the long journey, Hun Cang chose to ride a flying magical beast. However, even so, the owner of the flying magical beast told him that it would take at least half a month to reach the Black Corner Region.

When it comes to money, Hun Cang is never stingy. Because he comes from the Hun Clan, he has no shortage of such things and directly chose the most luxurious room.

Even while traveling, Hun Cang did not stop cultivating. With the help of the Ink Jade Lotus Platform, his strength would increase by one level almost every two days.

In comparison, Xiao Yan, who was far away at the moment, was exhausted. Even with his elder brother's Jade Lotus Platform and various pills to help him, it would still take him several days to break through to the next star level.

Moreover, he not only cultivates, but also maintains various physical training methods, which exhausts him every day.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

According to the attendant on the flying magical beast, there is still half a day left to reach the Black Corner Region.

After finishing his cultivation, Hun Cang put away the black jade lotus platform and stepped out of his room for the first time. He stood on the edge of the magical beast and looked down through the gaps in the clouds.

The land is mostly swampy and shrouded in mist, where small teams can occasionally be seen fighting monsters.

"The chaos is truly well-deserved. In just a short time, I've witnessed at least five battles caused by treasures." Hun Cang shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, as if sensing something, he turned his head to look at one of the windows. The other person seemed not to have expected that Hun Cang could notice him. After a sudden eye contact, he hurriedly closed the window.

A building resembling an inn was strapped to the back of the flying monster. The ride was very smooth, without any turbulence caused by flight.

From Hun Cang's own perspective, it was even more exhilarating than flying.

"Being targeted?" Hun Cang looked away and walked back to his room, a wry smile on his face.

Although this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and killing, burning, and looting are extremely common.

However, for Hun Cang, who was a Dou Wang from the very beginning and was respected wherever he went, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Luckily, I was reborn into the Soul Clan..."

Soon after, the flying magical beasts slowly landed, and figures emerged from the rooms and disembarked from the beasts.

After glancing at the city, Hun Cang walked straight into the street.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"Now that we're near Canaan Academy, there's no need to rush." ​​Hun Cang planned to find a place to stay first, and then contact someone inside the academy to find out about Xiao Yu and the others.

He walked along the way, passing several inns, but Hun Cang did not stop. He walked step by step into an alley, and just after turning a corner, he quickened his pace and hid in another corner.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps approached, followed by a small team of six people who rushed into the alley.

"Huh? Where are they?" The burly man at the head of the group glanced around and paused, momentarily stunned.

His underlings behind him were also a bit confused. They clearly saw the man come in, so how could he have disappeared? Could he fly?

One of the henchmen exclaimed in astonishment, "That shouldn't be! I've been observing him for a long time, and his strength is only around a five-star Dou Shi. How could he run so fast?"

This group boarded a flying magical beast halfway through their journey. Their usual practice was to find wealthy people traveling to the Black Corner Region on flying magical beasts, ascertain their strength, and then rob them in the Black Corner Region.

Because the Black Corner Region is characterized by chaos, killing two people will not cause any problems.

Once they've received the money, they'll leave immediately, enjoy themselves for a while, and then repeat the same trick.

So far, they have succeeded no less than ten times. Last time, they happened to encounter a mother and daughter who were supposedly looking for relatives in the Black Corner Region. They not only robbed them of their money, but also took them by force.

This time was no different. As soon as they boarded the flying magical beast, they set their sights on Hun Cang, who was staying in the best room, especially since he was all alone.

Are you looking for me?

Just as the group was puzzled, a voice came from behind them. They turned around abruptly and, upon seeing Hun Cang clearly, the one who was keeping watch shouted, "It's him, boss."

"What are you waiting for? Make your move!" The burly man's eyes flashed with ferocity as he growled.

The surrounding people were all surging with battle qi, each of them was strong, all of them were battle masters, and even the burly man's battle qi gauze robe seemed to be turning into armor.

Clearly, he is about to break through to the Great Dou Master level.

The burly man's eyes were filled with greed. He thought that once he finished this job, he would have the money to buy materials to break through to the Great Dou Master level!

Unfortunately, the thought had barely formed in his mind when he saw the people around him suddenly engulfed in flames, turning to ashes before they could even scream.

Run! The strong man's thought had barely crossed his mind when he was engulfed in flames and lost consciousness.

Soon after, Hun Cang walked out of the alley with his hands in his pockets and arrived at a nearby inn.

"I'm sorry, sir, the best rooms are all booked. Canaan College is currently enrolling students, and we have a lot of guests."

The receptionist looked apologetically and somewhat embarrassed at the handsome young man in front of her.

"It's fine, the regular kind is okay too."
