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

Chapter 44: The Enrollment Exploded the Sky-Burning Qi Tower

"Isn't it over yet?" Hord asked the middle-aged man in charge.

Everyone else had already come out, and the hourglass countdown had ended, leaving only Hun Cang and the young man beside him.

"No rush." ​​The middle-aged man slowly shook his head, his eyes seeming to flash with light as he swept his gaze over Hun Cang and the other person.

Before the stone tablet, the young man opened his eyes a crack, glanced at Hun Cang, and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, who is this guy? I only have one pill left."

Maybe I should give up; being number one is just an empty title.

A thought flashed through the young man's mind, and just then, a voice came to his ears: "The one who lasts the longest will be rewarded with an additional 30 days of fire energy."

30 days?

The onlookers, including mentor Hord and other Canaan Academy disciples, all stared wide-eyed at the middle-aged man who had spoken, unable to believe their eyes.

Fire energy is an extremely precious resource for inner court disciples.

Because there is a Heavenly Flame Refining Tower in the inner courtyard, cultivating there greatly helps in improving one's cultivation level, which is like having a cheat code.

The requirement to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is fire energy.

The young man was well-prepared to participate in the test, naturally because he understood the relevant information. Upon learning that there were 30 days of fire energy, he was invigorated and decided to persevere.

"Even if you don't need it for the time being, you can trade it with the senior students in the inner academy. For the people in the inner academy, the value of fire energy is no less than that of money."

The energetic young man glanced at Hun Cang again, a determined look in his eyes.

Time continued to pass, and soon it would be almost an hour.

Damn it, who is this guy? The young man had already swallowed the last pill, but found that Hun Cang was still unmoved and not affected by the heat emanating from the stone tablet at all.

Gradually, the young man's consciousness became somewhat blurred. Without the pills to slow it down, he was now relying purely on willpower to stay afloat.

The middle-aged man caught a glimpse of this scene, and in a flash, he silently appeared in front of the young man.

At this moment, Hun Cang's eyebrows twitched slightly, suppressing the urge to open his eyes. "Calm down," he thought, "with my strength, being able to sense the other person's figure will definitely attract attention."

"Would you like another Refreshing Pill?" the middle-aged man asked, bending down gently.

"Yes, I want one! Give me one quickly! I don't want to lose! I want to be number one!" The young man grabbed at a straw like a drowning man.

Just as the young man finished speaking, a man outside the crowd suddenly changed his expression and regretfully punched his fist in the palm: "Oh no, we've been exposed. All our efforts have been in vain."

The young man also realized what was happening, opened his eyes and saw the middle-aged man in front of him. He was so frightened that he used his hands and feet to back away.

"You dare to cheat on the Canaan Academy entrance exam? You must have a death wish!" The middle-aged man's face darkened.

The young man instinctively wanted to argue, but when he met the middle-aged man's eyes, he instantly felt as if he had been seen through, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

No, I'm not reconciled! I've already passed!

It's him!

The young man pointed at Hun Cang and said, "He cheated too, he definitely cheated, otherwise how could he have lasted so long?"

His expression was frantic, like a mad dog barking wildly.

"He didn't." The middle-aged man glanced at Hun Cang, who had opened his eyes, and said with certainty, though a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Before the young man could say anything more, he casually unleashed a burst of energy that knocked him unconscious. Immediately, people from the academy came over and carried him away.

"Don't even think about cheating. Canaan Academy will never accept someone like that. Remember that." The middle-aged man looked around and spoke in an extremely serious voice.

Then, he looked for Hun Cang and saw the other party curiously raise his hand to touch the stone tablet.

"Be careful," the middle-aged man said after a moment's hesitation.

Hun Cang withdrew his hand and smiled sheepishly. He wanted to sense the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame on the stone tablet to assess the strength of its true form.

He thought to himself, "It probably has the strength of a Dou Zong."

The middle-aged man walked up to him: "You don't seem to be afraid of the power of the Fallen Heart Flame."

"That's probably why." Hun Cang, already prepared, opened his palm, and a cluster of white flames emerged.

"A strange fire?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he nodded in realization. He couldn't help but take another deep look at Hun Cang. To possess a strange fire at such a young age, the power behind him must be extraordinary.

He couldn't help but think of another little girl in the courtyard, whose background was equally formidable.

Huo De ran over quickly from a distance: "Elder Lin, his name is Hun Cang, he is my disciple."

"What? Afraid I'll steal it?" Elder Lin glared at him irritably, then turned to Hun Cang and said, "Kid, I don't care what your background is. If you come to Canaan Academy, study hard and I'll welcome you with open arms. But if you want to cause trouble, you'd better think twice."

"I understand." Hun Cang smiled guiltily.

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

The reason why Canaan Academy is famous is largely due to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, because the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame helps with the speed of early cultivation.

Elder Lin nodded and left Peace Town carrying the black stone tablet.

"Take a rest. I'll take you to Canaan Academy later." Only after Elder Lin was out of sight did Huo De turn his gaze away and smile at Hun Cang. "I didn't expect you to be so unassuming. Now you can focus on your cultivation. I'll try to get you a spot in the inner academy."

"Then thank you in advance, Instructor Hord." Hun Cang smiled slightly. "By the way, why was that stone tablet taken back?"

The residual aura of the fallen heart flame on the stone tablet can be left in Peace Town to provide some assistance to the stationed students in their cultivation. How wonderful!

Hord explained, "Because that stone tablet has been subjected to the scorching heat of the Fallen Heart Flame, it has undergone a miraculous change. The academy usually puts it back in its original place after using it."

"Back to the side of the Fallen Heart Flame?" Hun Cang's expression stiffened slightly, and he had a bad feeling. He had touched it just now and left behind the aura of the Suppressing Burning Technique.

Hord nodded, not paying attention to Hun Cang's reaction. He simply assumed Hun Cang was just curious, and then went on to attend to other matters.

After about ten minutes, all those who had passed the test lined up and then boarded flying magical beasts to head to Canaan Academy.

Many people experienced the feeling of being in mid-air for the first time, feeling very relaxed and looking down at the primeval forest.

"Hey, look..."

At that moment, someone pointed to the distance, where the sky seemed to be dyed red by flames, and a huge cluster of fireworks bloomed like fireworks.

Then, several more figures rushed out, and with various flashes of light, they finally suppressed the flames.

"Professor, what part of the academy was that?" someone asked Hod curiously. "Was that an experiment we just saw?"

Hord's lips twitched, his expression slightly grim: "No, that was the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower... it exploded."

It seems the last time the Fallen Heartflame erupted was more than ten years ago. Considering the pattern, it's not time for it to erupt yet.

Hord was a little confused.
