The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Countless energies surged into his body, transforming into thick, liquid fire battle qi. Xiao Xuanyuan had been continuously surpassing the peak of Dou Wang and approaching the Dou Huang realm. All the fire energy in the five layers of space was absorbed, and the black hole vortex continued to pull upwards layer by layer, continuously drawing it down through the hollow cave in the center of the tower and into Xiao Xuanyuan's dantian qi sea, where it was continuously transformed into viscous liquid fire battle qi.

As the flame energy in the three-layered space gradually dissipated, Xiao Xuanyuan's strength advanced further, bringing him much closer to the Dou Huang realm. Then came the second layer, and the first layer was completely drained.

"Just a little bit more!" Feeling the emptiness inside the tower, devoid of any energy, Xiao Xuanyuan was extremely anxious. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Without enough energy, even if he broke through the shackles, he would only reach the "empty" Dou Huang realm. After all, a strong man who hasn't eaten his fill certainly can't do much heavy physical labor, and it would be extremely strenuous for him to work. Xiao Xuanyuan was in this very situation.

What Xiao Xuanyuan didn't know was that because of his voracious appetite, he had turned the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower into an empty shell, with no extra flame energy. As a result, when the many elders guarding the tower were preparing to form an array to seal the Fallen Heart Flame, they found that the Fallen Heart Flame seemed to be weak and had no extra energy to break through the seal, and had calmed down again!

It only clashed with the spatial mirror a few times before it disappeared!

"Has the Fallen Heartflame Riot been completely devoured?!"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: It's me, so what?

"Waaah, black veil, is this your master?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I...I...he's too audacious! He drained all the energy I'd been preparing for! I...I really want to kill him!" The Fallen Heart Flame Spirit at the bottom level is a volatile fire python, its entire body composed of Fallen Heart Flame energy. Its innate characteristics dictate its temperament.

"Hehe, Little Flame, it's not that I, Black Veil, look down on you, but you wouldn't even be able to hurt a single finger of my brother Xuanyuan." Black Veil was full of confidence, and the special rhythm between the flames could only be understood by the two fire spirits. They conveyed and sensed each other's emotions.

"I don't believe it! I've been born for quite a long time, hmm, how long? I can't quite remember. But Black Veil, remember this: killing your master is a piece of cake for me!" The Fallen Heart Flame Python chuckled coldly, its pair of huge, lantern-like red eyes seemingly piercing through the void, through the spatial mirror that sealed it, and seeing all the way to Xiao Xuanyuan's location number one outside.

"Then you can try," Black Veil snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied.

"Let's try it then. I'll kill whoever I want." The Fallen Heart Flame Python was arrogant, not only short-tempered but also extremely self-important.

"Then you have to be able to get out yourself. You're being imprisoned here by those old people, and you still think you're right?" the woman in black said contemptuously.

"Ugh, I'm so angry! I'm going to come out and wipe you out!"

After Xiao Xuanyuan advanced to the Douhuang realm, the flame energy inside the tower had been completely absorbed by him, and the shaking of the entire Tianfen Refining Tower had stopped. But at this moment, for some unknown reason, a violent force began to strike the bottom of the tower again, causing it to shake violently once more, and countless streams of violent flame energy surged out continuously.

"A great opportunity!"

Feeling the fire energy that was even more surging and powerful than before, Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed. Originally, relying on the energy tide from the outside, it would have taken at least a quarter of an hour to fully advance to the Douhuang realm. Only then would he be a true Douhuang powerhouse, instead of just having an empty shell without any real strength to match.

"I swallow, I swallow, I swallow, swallow, swallow!"

Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed. The enormous vortex of the dark cave moved towards the center of the tower, enveloping it and sucking in the fire fighting energy within his body. Like a progress bar, Xiao Xuanyuan could clearly feel his power constantly rising, rushing towards a higher realm.

"Black Veil, wait for me to come out. I'm going to swallow you whole and eat you alive!" The Fallen Heart Flame Python at the bottom of the tower exuded a violent emotion, and the fluctuations were transmitted to the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, which is Black Veil.

"You'll have to come out first! Hehehe." The black veil transmitted its rhythm back again. This was the language of the fire spirits between different flames, which outsiders naturally could not hear or understand.

"Wow, I'm so angry, so angry! Open it up! I'm going to go out and beat this little wench to death!" The fire python became increasingly agitated, unleashing more and more of the terrifying flame energy of the Fallen Heart Flame. The fire python kept crashing into the spatial mirror that sealed its true form, the Fallen Heart Flame, causing the entire Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower to tremble slightly.

"What's going on?! It was fine just now, why is it rioting again?!" The many tower-guarding elders, who were originally confused and uncertain, had gathered in the lower space. While they were hesitating, they discovered that the Fallen Heart Flame had rioted again, and this time the intensity was several times more ferocious than the last time!

"Quick! It's about to break the seal, we must seal it again!" Elder Zhongsun shouted as he sensed the seal weakening. He rushed towards the seal first, and the others quickly followed, striking the seal with their hand seals to reinforce it.

"Small space formation, seal!"

Shouts rang out as everyone gathered their strength, layering it onto the seal. The constantly vibrating spatial array gradually stabilized, and with the continued output of everyone's power, the vibrations of the spatial array diminished.

"Boom!"

The colorful energy tide that had gathered above the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower collapsed in waves, and finally suddenly fell from the inside, like a whale swallowing the sea, and was pulled down to the sixth level of space inside the tower, and was completely absorbed into Xiao Xuanyuan's body.

As this energy tide collapsed and contracted, Xiao Xuanyuan finally leaped from the peak state of Dou Wang, which was infinitely close to the Dou Huang realm, into the solid Dou Huang realm!

After truly stepping into the Douhuang realm, Xiao Xuanyuan's body underwent earth-shattering changes. Countless semi-gaseous fire Dou Qi truly transformed into liquid, and his Dantian Qi Sea erupted with bursts of rumbling, collapsing and contracting inward. The size of the Dou Qi vortex continued to decrease, but the energy it contained became even more powerful!

If he was considered chubby before, he is now solidly slim and can easily take down dozens of chubby people with one punch. His physical condition has improved dramatically.

Roar!

Xiao Xuanyuan let out a loud roar that pierced the sky, and a powerful pressure unique to the Douhuang realm emanated from him, enveloping the entire Tianfen Refining Tower.

Inside the tower, at the bottom floor.

The elders who had just stabilized the spatial mirror sensed the powerful pressure of the Douhuang realm. The pressure was heavy, as hard as stone, and fell like dark clouds, crushing down on everyone's hearts. Even if it wasn't directed at any one person, it felt like they couldn't breathe.

"Who is this?!"

The same question arose in the minds of many elders at the same time.

The pressure from a Douhuang realm expert came quickly and went just as fast! In just a few breaths, it receded like a tide.

Many elders wiped the cold sweat from their brows, some because they had just been sealed away from the Fallen Heart Flame, and others because they were still wary of the oppressive aura of the Dou Huang realm expert.

“Let’s go up to the sixth floor first. That Dou Huang’s pressure just now should have come from training room number one. I sensed a powerful aura inside.” Elder Zhongsun led the way, and the group quickly went up to the sixth floor. At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan opened the door and walked out.

Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of the many elders, their eyes filled with a complex mix of fear, surprise, amazement, and envy as they looked at him, he couldn't help but touch his face and ask in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

The elders remained silent, their gazes fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan with a mixture of solemnity and curiosity.

"I don't have time to play with you guys, I'm leaving now." Xiao Xuanyuan felt very bored, waved his hand, and prepared to leave the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"and many more!"

Elder Zhongsun and his group blocked their way again.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, don't disturb my sleep." Xiao Xuanyuan was a little impatient, but he was still very polite. They were all elders of the inner academy and acquaintances, so there was no need to make things awkward for everyone.

"Elder Xiao Xiao, were you advancing to Dou Huang just now?!" Elder Zhongsun hesitated for a long time before stepping forward and asking politely, even with a respectful expression, with his hands clasped in a gesture of respect.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Battle for Supremacy

Half an hour later, in the inner courtyard conference room.

This conference room is only accessible to members of the Inner Court at the Elder level or above. It is the center of power within the entire Inner Court, and no ordinary Inner Court student can enter, not even those who are ranked on the Strong Ranking.

Today, almost all the elders of the inner courtyard have gathered here. Except for a few elders who have been assigned to guard the tower, everyone who could come has come.

In the conference room, nearly twenty inner court elders stood in two rows, most of them elderly. Apart from Xiao Xuanyuan and Ye Ningyan, the youngest person present was only a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old.

Tugged at Ye Ningyan's sleeve, Xiao Xuanyuan asked in confusion, "Isn't this a meeting of the inner court elders? Why did you drag me here? I'm not from your inner court."

Ye Ningyan glared at him fiercely and whispered, "What do you mean, come back with me? Little Fairy Doctor and Yaoyue are talking about you every day, it's really annoying me."

"I'll definitely go when I have time, but I've been quite busy lately." The image of Little Fairy Doctor's quiet and elegant appearance, Princess Yaoyue's alluring figure, and Natasha's voluptuous and seductive body involuntarily surfaced in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind, and his heart immediately burned with desire.

“If you have time, just say that every day.” Ye Ningyan reached out and grabbed his ear, applying a little force.

"Oh my goodness, be gentle!" Xiao Xuanyuan was shocked and quickly begged for mercy, inwardly cursing. These women these days are really hard to please. It's one thing for his cheap master to bully him every day, but now this Ye Ningyan is the same. Sigh, what a miserable life!

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan in pain, Ye Ningyan couldn't help but feel amused. "Tell me, do you want to come back with me later?!"

"Yes, I'll definitely go back." Xiao Xuanyuan immediately surrendered. When dealing with this kind of woman, if things don't work out, just back down and let her do whatever she wants. Of course, this excludes his cheap master. In Xiao Xuanyuan's heart, he had already regarded her as his wife, and no other man could touch her.

"Cough cough."

Elder Su Qian coughed and pressed down with his hands, silencing the murmurs that had been circulating among the elders. As their gazes kept glancing at Xiao Xuanyuan, the elders, whose expressions were a mixture of shock, curiosity, and bewilderment, fell silent. Xiao Xuanyuan and Ye Ningyan's subtle actions, of course, did not escape the notice of the crowd.

Seeing everyone quiet down, Ye Ningyan's face flushed slightly, and she stopped joking and withdrew her hand from Xiao Xuanyuan's ear. Xiao Xuanyuan rubbed his slightly red ear and glared at Ye Ningyan reproachfully.

"There's a reason I've gathered everyone here today. I have something important to announce, and there are some things we must be wary of!" Su Qian's solemn and serious gaze slowly swept across the entire room, and a faint pressure emanated from him, causing everyone to put away their indifference and contempt.

"I'm sure everyone has seen and knows about what happened at the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower today. Recently, things haven't been peaceful in the tower. The strange fire, the Fallen Heart Flame, which is suppressed at the bottom of the tower, is constantly impacting the spatial seal, causing great trouble and danger to the inner court students' cultivation." Seeing the elders' serious expressions, Su Qian nodded and withdrew his aura.

“The problem we are facing now is that, due to the frequent riots of the Fallen Heart Flame, it may break free from its seal one day. At that time, it will definitely attract the covetousness and prying of many forces in the Black Corner Region. Therefore, we must take precautions before that happens, especially against that Medicine Emperor Han Feng. You should send people to pay close attention to his movements.” Su Qian’s brows furrowed as he glanced toward the Black Corner Region.

However, after withdrawing his gaze, he turned to Xiao Xuanyuan and nodded slightly to him. "Before that, I would like to announce something. Xiao Xuanyuan, who is currently serving as the director of the Alchemist Affairs Hall and the sixth elder of the Alchemy Valley, has successfully advanced to the Dou Huang realm today. Let's all give him a round of applause!"

Clap clap! Clap clap!

Inside the meeting room, applause erupted like a tidal wave! Every elder looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with respect and reverence. At the tender age of sixteen, he had become a sixth-grade high-level alchemist, served as the sixth elder of the Alchemy Valley, and held positions such as the director of the Inner Court Alchemist Affairs Hall. He was truly a young hero.

Not only that, Xiao Xuanyuan has now advanced from the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Wang realm to the Dou Huang realm, which many elders have spent their entire lives trying to reach. This has not only surprised them, but also made them look at him with new respect. Words like "astonishing son" and "peerless genius" are not enough to describe him. Only respect is appropriate, because in the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are respected in everything.

"Alright." Su Qian gestured for silence, "Now I hereby announce the special appointment of Xiao Xuanyuan, an inner court student, as an honorary elder of the inner court, who will enjoy all the privileges of the inner court. This appointment will be announced after the rankings in the Strong Ranking Competition!"

After hearing Elder Su Qian's appointment, Xiao Xuanyuan asked curiously, "What is the position of Honorary Elder of the Inner Court, and what privileges does it have?"

Su Qian's old face, which was as serious as a brick, revealed a slight smile. "No one but me can order you around. Your privileges include the right to receive free fire energy, pills, and other benefits every month, and you will not have to do any work. The only requirement is that you must lend a helping hand when the academy is in danger of losing its life."

Due to the unforeseen events at the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, the Strong Ranking Competition was postponed, but it was confirmed to officially begin two days later.

Today marks the start of the Inner Court's Elite Ranking Competition. The rules are that the top fifty people currently ranked on the Elite Ranking will be divided into two groups of twenty-five. Each group will draw red and blue slips. If the numbers on both slips match, the two groups will have to fight each other until a winner is determined.

"Brother Xuanyuan, what lot did you draw?" Xun'er hugged Xiao Xuanyuan's arm affectionately and leaned forward curiously to see.

"Seventeen, what about you?"

"I'm twenty-two, hehe."

Among the fifty people ranked on the strong list, Xiao Xuanyuan ranked first, Xiao Ziyan ranked second, Xun'er ranked eleventh, Xiao Xue ranked in the top eight, Xiao Mei ranked thirty-second, the little witch Hu Jia ranked thirty-third, and Daphne, under Xiao Xuanyuan's encouragement, had long since joined the inner court students and ranked eighteenth.

Because of Ye Ningyan's connection, Little Fairy Doctor, Princess Yaoye, and Princess Xiaoyue also joined the Inner Academy and were ranked on the Strong Ranking. Little Fairy Doctor ranked forty-eighth, Princess Yaoye ranked thirty-seventh, and Princess Xiaoyue ranked forty-fourth.

Originally, Little Fairy Doctor was relatively weak and unable to enter the rankings. Later, Xiao Xuanyuan specially asked Yao Lao to select a cultivation technique for her, the "Netherworld Medicine Saint Technique", a high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique.

As the name suggests, it is a cultivation technique that can stimulate a person's talent for alchemy. Little Fairy Doctor has a calamity-poison body and cannot cultivate alchemy. However, with the help of this cultivation technique and the free spiritual herbs from Xiao Xuanyuan that are thousands or tens of thousands of years old, her body has gradually begun to transform into the "Holy Body of a Pharmacist".

As long as Little Fairy Doctor remains steadfast and true to her original aspirations, with Xiao Xuanyuan's help, she will definitely be able to become a high-level alchemist.

Chapter 40: I, Wang Yi, wish to become your disciple.

After a draw of red and blue numbers, the first round of the knockout stage officially began.

As an honorary elder, Xiao Xuanyuan used some of his privileges to have the elders in charge of the matter adjust their quotas. Therefore, the first round of fighting among Xiao Xuanyuan's close friends did not occur. They were all his flesh and blood, and he couldn't bear to see such a scene.

Because of Xun'er's presence, Xiao Xuanyuan had been keeping a low profile and hiding in the crowd. Otherwise, if he were seen by Xiao Yixian and the others, it would be truly embarrassing. How would he explain it then? A womanizer? Irresponsible? A womanizer? Xiao Xuanyuan had no idea how to explain it. If he could do anything, he would just have to take a beating, take the punches from all the women.

Xiao Xuanyuan wanted to keep a low profile, but things didn't go as he wished. At this moment, Lu Mu, the vice leader of the Medicine Alliance, arrived in front of Xiao Xuanyuan with a group of Medicine Alliance members who followed him around like whirlwinds. Lu Mu bowed to Xiao Xuanyuan at a ninety-degree angle and said, "Boss!"

The members of the Medicine Alliance spoke in unison, echoing the words of their vice leader, Lu Mu. Their voices were so clear and resonant that they deeply moved everyone in the arena and immediately drew all eyes to them.

"Wow, that's the leader of the Medicine Alliance! He's so handsome!" The female students in the inner courtyard started to stare at Xiao Xuanyuan with shining eyes, like tigers and wolves that hadn't eaten for days eyeing a piece of fat meat. They kept scanning him, including Xun'er and the other girls beside him. Xun'er, in particular, who was holding his arm, received the most stares.

"Alliance Leader Xiao, I love you, be my boyfriend!"

"Handsome Xiao, you're so stylish! Can I have your autograph?!"
