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

Chapter 45 The Elder's Confusion, Xiao Mei's Trouble

Deep within Canaan College.

In the center of a sunken area, a strange building stands out, with only its spire and one floor visible. Judging from its appearance, it is easy to guess that most of the tower is buried deep underground.

And this is the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

At this moment, countless students rushed out, and some of the faster ones at the front would turn their heads to look at the figures in mid-air.

Those people were standing directly in the void, without relying on any kind of battle aura or wings.

"Old Lin, what did you just do?" An old man glared at the middle-aged man, who looked disheveled, with burn marks on his hair, beard, and clothes.

The Fallen Heart Flame has always been in a stable state, only becoming agitated at fixed times, but it can be completely suppressed by the array set up by the former dean.

Today it was his turn to check the value, and without warning, the Fallen Heart Inflammation broke out.

This outburst was different from the past; it was extremely frenzied and ruthless, like prey encountering its natural enemy and eagerly trying to escape.

Fortunately, there weren't many students in the tower today, and all the elders happened to be there as well; otherwise, the Fallen Heart Flame might have really managed to break out.

At that time, the entire Canaan College will likely suffer.

Elder Lin stood awkwardly in mid-air, facing everyone's gaze. He recalled, "I didn't do anything, I just took that stone out."

He paused for a moment, then quickly added, "But I put it back right away."

The elder who had asked the question earlier pondered and said, "It seems that the changes in the Fallen Heart Flame only occurred after that stone returned to its original position."

"That might be related to a student..." Elder Lin wasn't quite sure.

Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, he explained, "That student has a strange flame on him. Could it be that the Fallen Heart Flame sensed its own kind?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out," someone replied.

The man with singed beard and hair sighed, "Speaking of which, the power of the Fallen Heart Flame has been getting stronger and stronger over the years. The old dean has been traveling across the continent and we don't know when he will return. We don't know if we can still stop it when the Fallen Heart Flame erupts again."

Elder Lin and the others lowered their eyelids, staring at the building with only its spire protruding, and fell silent.

Afterwards, everyone went about their business. An elder approached Elder Lin, wondering why he hadn't brought the student along.

Being able to join Canaan Academy, one must be quite young, and possessing a unique flame indicates that one's background is also extraordinary.

A disciple with such talent and background would be an absolute hot commodity anywhere.

Elder Lin smiled and explained simply, "Hode has always wanted to advance to the Xuan-rank instructor level, but he's been struggling to find a suitable disciple. Now that he's finally found one, if I were to snatch him away, wouldn't he go crazy?"

Upon hearing this, the latter nodded in realization, and then Elder Lin said, "Anyway, that child will enter the inner courtyard sooner or later, so I will still have a chance then."

"Hmm, that makes sense. By the way, what's the child's name?" someone asked casually.

"What are you doing? Trying to break the rules?" Elder Lin glanced at him. "We agreed that whoever is in charge of the assessments gets to choose the best candidates first. Don't make me beat you up!"

……

the other side.

Hord led the seventy students who had passed the test today, and they slowly descended with the flying magical beast.

"Old Huo, you've worked hard. It's rare to see you back. Let's have a drink together tonight."

"Brother Huo, how did it go this time? Any promising prospects?"

"..."

Standing on the flying magical beast, Hun Cang saw several people who looked like mentors gather around Hord and start chatting familiarly.

Behind them was an old-looking college with mottled walls covered in green plants, and the ground leading into the college was paved with bluestone.

"Hey junior, come down here quickly." While lost in thought, Hun Cang heard a voice and found someone waving at him from below.

He smiled slightly and lightly landed on the ground from the monster.

"Hun Cang." Hord waved and smiled at the students who came to help. "I'll take care of this one, so you won't have to trouble yourselves."

Several instructors looked at Hord with surprise. One of them, a thin instructor, punched him in the chest and said, "You're embezzling, aren't you?"

Hord chuckled: "I'm tired of staying in Peace Town all the time. This is a rare opportunity to advance to the Xuan-rank instructor level, so of course I won't miss it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mentors were all startled, and when they looked at Hun Cang again, their eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

What kind of student was it that dared to make Hord say such a thing?

Moreover, judging from Hod's tone, he wasn't aiming for a year from now, but rather wanted to move back closer to home.

That means this newly enrolled student is confident in taking the tests in the next two months.

As if afraid that the teachers would compete with him, Hord blocked their view and led Hun Cang into the academy.

"I've prepared a private courtyard for you. I'll arrange for my disciples to deliver your three meals a day. If there's anything you'd like to eat, you can tell them," Hod said very warmly.

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

Upon hearing this, Hun Cang smiled and nodded, accepting the offer frankly. After all, it was a transaction between the two parties, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

The courtyard that Hord arranged for him was actually the courtyard where he used to live. It was in the area where his mentor lived. The environment was good and quiet enough. It was on the same road as the students' residence, but on a different side road.

As Huo De and Hun Cang walked down one path, an academy student happened to emerge from another path.

Among them, a pretty girl with a touch of allure walked along the road with a worried look in her eyes. Suddenly, as if sensing something, she looked up and caught sight of a figure.

"Lord Cangwang?" The girl froze on the spot.

"Xiao Mei, why did you stop?" Another girl next to her stopped as well and asked.

Xiao Mei murmured, "I think I saw someone I know."

"You know someone who teaches at Canaan College?" the girl asked in surprise.

"Tang Yan, what did you say?" Xiao Mei turned her head.

Tang Yan pointed in the direction Xiao Mei had been staring: "You don't know that's the area leading to the teachers' dormitories, do you?"

The Azure King is back at the academy as a teacher? That can't be… Xiao Mei nodded: “Hmm, then I must have misread it.”

Tang Yan scrutinized her and said, "Really? The way you looked just now, you were like a kitten in heat. Could it be that you've taken a liking to that teacher? No wonder you couldn't agree to Luo Ling's advances no matter how much he pursued you. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Xiao Mei glared angrily at the other person. "Tang Yan, I'm telling you again, I have someone I like, so don't keep mentioning Luo Ling in front of me."

"Yes, I know." Tang Yan looked helpless. "However, I heard that Luo Ling is planning to take action against your Xiao family."

After entering Canaan Academy, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er immediately attracted the attention of many boys, including Luo Ling, who pursued Xiao Mei relentlessly.

After failing repeatedly, he threatened to teach the Xiao family a lesson.

As a result, Xiao Ning was beaten up several times for no reason.

"If only Lord Cang or Brother Xiao Yan were here," Xiao Mei sighed, thinking to herself.
