Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

That thin, bluish-green flaming arrow could kill him with absolute ease.

"Shh..."

Don't move.

Han Feng's gaze was deep and calm as he released the bowstring with his right hand.

The python body that had transformed from the Fallen Heart Flame shuddered violently. It slowly lowered its head and looked at its primordial fire that had been pierced through.

------

Han Feng Villa.

Su Qian knocked on the courtyard gate.

"coming."

Squeak.

"Elder Su Qian?"

Ye Qingyun opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see who it was.

"Master just went out."

Su Qian opened her mouth, but the sound seemed to be stuck in her throat.

"Elder Han, he..."

Upon hearing Su Qian's words, Ye Qingyun's pupils dilated slightly before she closed the door.

"Elder Su Qian, please return. We will treat you properly when our master returns."

Su Qian stood in front of the tightly closed gate for a long time.

"Hey......"

With a sigh tinged with mixed emotions, Su Qian hunched over and left.

This was the first time he had ever been unable to stand up straight in front of someone's house.

Inside the courtyard, Ye Qingyun relayed Su Qian's words to Cai'er and Medusa.

The two reacted remarkably in unison upon hearing this.

"Han Feng is dead?"

"how could it be possible."

Cai'er took it as a joke without even thinking about it.

Medusa didn't believe Han Feng was dead either, but after thinking about it carefully and combining it with what Ye Qingyun had said, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"I roughly know what Han Feng is going to do."

"what?"

Ye Qingyun quickly asked.

Medusa recounted the sights she and Han Feng had witnessed in the lava world.

"Han Feng is an alchemist. I'm afraid his real purpose in coming to Canaan Academy is this strange fire."

Ye Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then sorted out her thoughts.

"So, Master is currently refining the strange fire. What about Elder Su and the others...?"

"Those old men were probably fooled by Han Feng."

Medusa laughed as she spoke.

You cunning bastard, Han Feng!

"I'm still worried, Medusa. Could you please go to that place and see if the master is really there?"

Ye Qingyun pleaded.

"Alright, I'll go again. Cai'er, you come with me."

"Okay, little sister."

"Shut up!"

Medusa left the courtyard with Cai'er, while Ye Qingyun was alone in her room trying to calm herself down.

Of course, she didn't believe Han Feng was dead.

But I was still shocked when I heard the news.

"I hope it really is as Medusa said..."

Ye Qingyun prayed.

Chapter 77 Sky Fire

"Why are you here?"

Through the seal, Han Feng looked at Medusa and Cai'er outside with some surprise.

Medusa chuckled and said confidently, "I knew you wouldn't die so easily."

Upon hearing Medusa's words, Han Feng immediately realized what she meant.

Did Elder Su Qian and the others think they were dead?

"Hey, did you get your hands on that strange fire?"

Medusa scanned the area but found no trace of the strange fire.

Han Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

You understand me very well...

"Yes, I plan to go into seclusion here for a while. Tell Qingyun and the others when you get back that they don't need to worry."

Medusa nodded, then left without lingering and went back with Cai'er.

Silence returned to the scorching world of magma.

After Han Feng had initially adapted to the attack methods of the Fallen Heart Flame, he adjusted his state and took out a Grade 7 Earth Spirit Heart-Nourishing Pill.

"let's start."

------

Time flies, and after learning about Han Feng's situation, Ye Qingyun felt relieved. However, without a pillar of support, she felt somewhat weary of life.

Everyone diligently practiced their spiritual disciplines, transforming loneliness and longing into motivation.

The Heavenly Flame Refining Tower has reopened after being closed for three months.

On the open ground outside the tower, a huge stone statue of a human figure was erected, with an appearance quite similar to Han Feng.

All the teachers and students knew that it was this "hero" who sacrificed himself to suppress the demons under the tower.

Deep within the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, a figure has been busy lately.

Elder Su Qian now comes to check the seal every day; he can't sleep without checking it, and it's almost become a mental burden for him.

He came to inspect as usual today, but his brows furrowed slightly as he checked the seal.

Something seems off.

Su Qian muttered to herself.

He then carefully checked it several times, but found no obvious abnormalities, and for a moment wondered if he had just hallucinated.

After checking again, Su Qian reluctantly withdrew her hand, realizing that she might be under too much pressure lately and needed to find some medicine to take.

At this moment, Han Feng secretly burned a small gap in the barrier below, and then immediately filled it with a sealing technique.

"Phew, Elder Su Qian has been working too hard lately."

Han Feng shook his head. He was amazed that they could run into each other in such a short time. He couldn't help but admire the other person's dedication.

Three months later, Han Feng successfully refined the Fallen Heart Flame, and the "Burning Technique" evolved to the middle level of the Earth Rank.

The reason it took so long was partly because Han Feng had stored an enormous amount of energy in the Azure Lotus Heart Flame. If it were to explode accidentally during the fusion process, the disaster it would bring to the inner courtyard would be no less than if the Fallen Heart Flame were to break free of its seal.

Fortunately, in the end, all was well and no one was seriously hurt. Han Feng compressed that energy into a twenty-four-petaled lotus flower, which he now stores in his dantian.

Secondly, his fighting spirit surged dramatically after absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, almost automatically breaking through the Dou Zong realm. Han Feng had to compress it twice to make it a hybrid of a third-stage Dou Huang peak before the momentum finally stopped.

For the first time, Han Feng felt like he was about to overflow; he absolutely could not slow down his progress towards breaking through to the Dou Zong realm.

After leaving the sealed barrier, Han Feng descended to a deeper part of the magma world.

He had a vague feeling that something was waiting for him there.

Following this inexplicable feeling, Han Feng sped off at full speed.

However, instead of reaching their destination, they encountered several obstacles.

Upon seeing the fire lizard appear before him, Han Feng unleashed his soul power, and his innate magnetic field transformed into several silver chains, which pierced into the lizard's body at an extremely fast speed.

"So that's how it is. In this magma world, fire lizards actually form a unique family of magical beasts."

Han Feng glimpsed a portion of the other party's soul memories, and then tossed the unconscious fire lizard aside.

These fire lizards aren't strong enough and don't know enough, so it's better to take this opportunity to send them back and attract stronger fire lizards.

We will conduct a more detailed inquiry at that time.

Han Feng used the Heavenly Origin Finger to leave marks on several fire lizards, then stopped paying attention and continued to delve deeper into his senses.

After diving for an unknown amount of time, Han Feng arrived at a place that appeared to be a fire lizard's nest.

There were probably dozens of fire lizards here, but their cultivation level was still not high. Han Feng didn't even have to lift a finger; he dealt with them all using only his soul power.

"This is......"

Han Feng ignored the fire lizards that came to his aid from above and looked at a different dimension inside the nest.

"Interesting, it's actually a folded space set up by a Dou Zun."

Han Feng took a step and entered the alternate dimension.

The space was very simple, and it seemed that whoever set it up hadn't had time to arrange anything.

However, the treasures hidden inside are quite obvious.

Han Feng's gaze sharpened, locking onto the humanoid skeleton not far away. In the skeleton's hand, a brand-new, tender Fallen Heart Flame was faintly burning.

"There's actually a strange flame hidden here?"

Han Feng instantly appeared in front of the corpse and stared at the Fallen Heart Flame for a long time.

"It's a pity, it's too immature and won't be of much use to the evolution of the 'Burning Technique'."

The strange fire before me is neither an additional type nor has it accumulated to an excessively powerful level. Even if I were to absorb it, my progress would be minimal, making it far less useful than keeping it.

Having refined the academy's strange fire this time, although he was an academy elder, he certainly couldn't stay in the academy for long like others, which was different from the expectations of Elder Shi Yuan and Dean Mang Tianchi.

According to Elder Shi's wishes, Dean Mang Tianchi agreed to let the Fallen Heart Flame be refined, but the best person to refine it would be someone who could stay in the academy for a long time and support the cultivation of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"It can be used to replenish the academy's resources, and if this immature Fallen Heart Flame is nurtured and matured by the academy, it will not cause any more trouble in the future."

Han Feng smiled, and everyone was happy with this arrangement.

He reached out to take the strange fire, but the moment he made contact, a dormant soul power suddenly awakened from it.

"It's really weird."

Han Feng narrowed his eyes, and his innate magnetic field transformed into chains that stretched out and trapped the suddenly emerging soul. As for the Fallen Heart Flame, it naturally fell steadily into his hands.

"Your Excellency, spare your life!"

The soul hurriedly called for a halt, fearing that the chains would pierce its soul.

Han Feng hadn't intended to kill him. He played with the strange fire in his hand for a moment, then looked up at the soul hanging upside down in mid-air.

"So you are the Dou Zun who perished here?"

Venerable Heavenly Fire nodded repeatedly.

"You have excellent eyesight. My name is Yao Tianhuo. I apologize for disturbing you earlier!"
