Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

That evening, Lin Xian'er approached Han Feng.

"Master, do you have any fighting techniques you use when playing the flute?"

Today, after watching Lin Yin's battle, she was inspired and thought that since she was also learning the flute, she might as well imitate it.

Han Feng gently tapped Lin Xian'er on the forehead.

"Don't aim too high. Learn the flute well first before thinking about anything else."

Lin Xian'er covered her head and said "oh," then picked up her flute and started playing a mournful tune.

It sounds a bit unpleasant...

Lin Xian'er secretly glanced at Han Feng, who had no expression on his face, and gave an awkward smile.

"Master, please teach me again."

Han Feng glanced at his spoiled apprentice and sighed.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

After the preliminary round, the participants went through another round of elimination, and finally thirteen contestants remained.

These thirteen contestants will participate in the final top ten competition.

Sunlight streamed down on the martial arts arena as Su Qian presided over the competition and began drawing lots.

He will first select six people from the thirteen to compete, and after eliminating three, the remaining people will be the top ten.

The top ten will receive a precious reward—the Primal Heart Flame Body Tempering.

The Primal Heart Flame Body Forging is different from the Heart Flame Body Forging that students usually enjoy. As long as the Heart Flame exists, it can be continuously generated. However, the Primal Heart Flame can only be condensed by the entire Canaan Academy by exhausting all its manpower each year.

This is why the Strong Ranking Competition is held only once every five years; if it were held too frequently, even if the elders were exhausted, they still wouldn't be able to gather enough rewards.

Since primary cardiomyopathy is so rare, its effects are naturally enormous.

As long as one can withstand the tempering of the Origin Heart Flame, a cultivator can not only improve their physique and refine their battle qi, but most importantly, pave the way for their future advancement to the Battle King level.

In this Dou Qi Continent, it is not difficult for geniuses to improve their cultivation level. They can simply cultivate step by step. However, for most people, even a small hurdle can be as huge as a mountain, and they may never be able to cross it in their lifetime.

Despite the fierce battles on the leaderboard, no more than half of the participants will actually advance to the King of Fighters rank.

The competition proceeded smoothly.

After three rounds, three students were eliminated.

The top ten list of this ranking competition has been officially determined. Among them are some latecomers who have risen to the top, with the lowest cultivation level being only six-star Dou Ling realm, the kind that Lin Yin could easily defeat with one hand.

Luck undoubtedly plays a role, but fortune can be a curse. The tempering of the Origin Heart Flame is not something ordinary people can withstand. If one's strength is too weak, an opportunity can sometimes turn into a disaster.

After the competition ended, Han Feng took the girls home.

The leisurely days are over, it's time to get moving.

With all the materials for the Grade 8 pill prepared, Han Feng decided to choose a good time to start refining the pill.

However, accidents can sometimes happen very suddenly.

Just as Su Qian led the group to the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, a chilling aura suddenly erupted.

The Fallen Heart Flame seemed to have been waiting for this day, accumulating enormous energy before slamming into the defensive shield.

The intense heat spread rapidly, and the temperature inside the tower rose to an unbearable level in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, today was the day for the Origin Heart Flame Body Tempering, and ordinary students were prohibited from entering the tower. Therefore, most people were not harmed, except for the top ten students, who felt the pressure of life and death.

Su Qian led the way, urging everyone to leave the tower quickly.

The ten people quickly ran upwards and escaped the Qi Refining Tower just before the flames erupted.

However, the last six-star Dou Ling was a second slower, and in that brief second, his thigh was instantly engulfed by flames.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, this moment truly proves it.

Instead of standing by and watching the dying man die, the crowd quickly moved away with the wailing wounded.

At this moment, Su Qian was completely focused on resisting the impact of the Fallen Heart Flame, and had no energy left to care about anything else.

"Damn it, why did the Fallen Heart Flame suddenly go berserk!"

Logically, with the seal intact and the barrier energy abundant, there's no reason for this guy to go crazy at this time.

The elders of the inner courtyard rushed over, formed a formation, and joined Su Qian in suppressing the demon.

As the barrier enveloping the entire Heavenly Flame Refining Tower rose, Su Qian's pressure immediately decreased significantly.

However, looking at the Fallen Heart Flame constantly colliding within the barrier, Su Qian knew that this tug-of-war would not end so easily.

Su Qian formed a profound hand seal and pointed it into the air, sending out a special communication signal.

He needed to gather help from the outer courtyard as well, as the people in the inner courtyard alone were not enough.

Su Qian's expression grew increasingly grave as he looked at the elders in the corner of the formation, some of whom had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

"Everyone, hang in there!"

He slammed his palm down hard, pouring all his fighting spirit into the barrier to alleviate the pressure on the elders as much as possible.

At the same time, a thought suddenly occurred to him: "With the Fallen Heart Flame erupting like this, its aura can probably no longer be concealed. Elder Han, he..."

In that instant, Su Qian thought of Han Feng's possible purpose again, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He was both worried that the other party would break their promise and come, and he also hoped that the other party could lend him a hand, but he did not covet the strange fire.

Time passed slowly, but Han Feng did not appear.

However, the Fallen Heart Flame seemed to have decided to go all in, frantically crashing against the top of the barrier. The immense force caused many elders to cough up blood, their auras instantly weakening.

Su Qian's eyes widened in horror as he stood alone at the most dangerous position atop the tower.

boom!

With a fierce burst of flames, Su Qian coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the Fallen Heartflame still launching a fierce attack, he disregarded everything else and shouted loudly:

"Quickly, go and invite Elder Han Feng!"

Chapter 76 Fall

Han Feng was somewhat bewildered by this sudden surge of strange fire.

Han Feng originally wanted to go and take a look, but remembering the agreement Su Qian had made with him, he didn't act rashly.

At this time, every move you make may arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Time passed slowly, and just as Han Feng was wondering why the problem hadn't been resolved yet, an elder with blood-stained clothes flew over rapidly.

"Elder Han, please come to our aid immediately!"

Han Feng instantly appeared in mid-air, and without saying a word, led the elder to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower at an extremely fast speed.

As Han Feng approached the tower, his brows furrowed slightly.

"This looks like it's going to be tricky."

Sensing Han Feng's aura, the Fallen Heart Flame gathered all its energy into one point.

Seeing this, Su Qian also reinforced the barrier at the top of the tower with all her might.

Just as he was preparing to accept the onslaught of the Fallen Heart Flame, his opponent suddenly turned around and charged towards the bottom of the tower.

Su Qian was completely stunned.

What's the situation?

However, the sound of the barrier shattering coming from the bottom of the tower the next second shocked Su Qian.

"Oh no! This beast is going to..."

Just when things were at their most critical, Han Feng arrived in time, rushed to the bottom of the tower, and grabbed the tail of the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Elder Su, quickly reinforce the seal! I can't hold out much longer!"

Looking down at Han Feng, who was risking his life to block the fire, Su Qian suddenly felt a pang of shame.

"Hold on!"

Su Qian dared not delay and immediately joined the elders in setting up an array to repair the barrier.

Half an hour passed, and the Fallen Heart Flame tried to break free several times, but Han Feng held it firmly in place.

As the elders felt the intense fluctuations coming from below, they felt both admiration and some worry.

Although Elder Han is a seventh-grade alchemist, his cultivation level is only Dou Huang. Even Elder Su Qian, a Dou Zong, couldn't deal with the Fallen Heart Flame. What kind of price did he have to pay to hold on for so long?

In an instant, all the elders used all their strength to speed up the repair process of the barrier as much as possible.

With everyone giving their all, the concept of time has been forgotten.

After an unknown amount of time, as the barrier was about to be repaired, Su Qian shouted, "Elder Han, come out quickly!"

Han Feng looked at the top of the tower, then at the Fallen Heart Flame, and felt strangely calm.

I thought it would be a tough decision...

Han Feng submerged his body into the magma, and the Fallen Heart Flame, now freed from its restraints, instantly rushed toward the last gap in the barrier.

This was originally a gap that Su Qian had left specifically for Han Feng to escape. Now, Han Feng was nowhere to be seen, but the Fallen Heart Flame was rushing towards them. While feeling sad, Su Qian made the difficult decision to fill the last gap.

hum!

The intact barrier emitted rays of light, resisting the final impact of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Having exhausted much of its strength in the battle with Han Feng, Fallen Heart Flame knew that breaking the seal was hopeless, so it stopped its futile efforts and slowly sank into the magma.

"Elder, Elder Han, he..."

All the elders looked at Su Qian with grief on their faces.

Su Qian remained silent.

The raging fire was successfully suppressed, but no one rejoiced.

Su Qian looked down at the bottom of the tower, hoping that Han Feng would reappear.

You are someone who can withstand the seventh-grade heavenly lightning, how could you perish here!

But apart from the surging lava, there was no other movement at the bottom of the tower.

At this moment, Su Qian finally understood that no matter how powerful Han Feng was, he was only a Dou Huang.

But this Dou Huang accomplished something that even he couldn't do.

Wow!

In the sky, several figures rapidly approached; Hu Qian, along with the elders of the outer courtyard, finally arrived.

They first looked at the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Fallen Heart Flame had been successfully suppressed.

However, they soon realized something was wrong. All the inner court elders present, including Su Qian, had sad expressions and remained silent.

"Hey, what happened?"

Hu Qian asked.

Su Qian spoke in a hoarse voice: "Today, all the teachers and students of Canaan Academy must remember one person."

"Han Feng".

------

"I'm sorry, Elder Su."

Han Feng raised his left arm, and his innate magnetic energy transformed into a silver bow and arrow. He gently placed his right hand on the bowstring, and a blue flame transformed into a sharp arrow.

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

Su Qian's summoning of Han Feng for help this time not only prevented the Fallen Heart Flame from escaping, but also gave him an excellent opportunity to refine it.

The Fallen Heart Flame swam back into the magma, its enormous snake-like eyes meeting Han Feng's gaze.

In just a moment, it sensed the threat of "death".
