Chapter 269: A Casual Move Shocks Everyone
Fallen Heart Flame: Ranked 14th on the Heavenly Flame List. Born from the heart, it tempers Qi and refines bones!
This so called Fallen Heart Flame had another striking nickname "The Ultimate Training Cheat."
Once successfully refined, it continuously generates a Heart Flame within the body.
This terrifying Heart Flame burns Dou Qi inside the body every moment of every day, refining it without requiring any effort.
With this uninterrupted tempering, it feels as if one is constantly in a state of cultivation.
Under such conditions, the results are far superior to regular training.
Naturally, this kind of cultivation effect far surpasses ordinary methods, making its nickname of "training cheat" quite fitting.
From a certain perspective, if a fire attributed Dou Qi expert were given a choice between the Fallen Heart Flame and another Heavenly Flame ranked between tenth and fifth, most would choose the former.
Not for any other reason, but simply because of its irresistible ability to refine Dou Qi continuously, day and night.
Imagine improving at a speed far beyond others what strong cultivator could resist such a temptation?
Jia Nan Academy sealed the Fallen Heart Flame within its Inner Academy, using its leaked Heart Flame to create the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower an unparalleled cultivation accelerator.
This tower nurtured countless young powerhouses, making them regard the academy as sacred.
If someone were to monopolize the flame, just how terrifyingly fast would their cultivation become?
And yet, this Heavenly Flame, which countless people would kill for, was casually discarded by Wu Tian into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower…
Such an unbelievable act who would dare believe it?
Well… everyone believed it.
Even Su Qian, the Great Elder, had no choice but to believe it.
Wu Tian's actions were too genuine.
He hadn't attacked the Inner Academy.
He hadn't destroyed it.
In fact, the only real damage he caused was blowing off the tower's top.
Not a single other building was harmed.
This made Su Qian realize Wu Tian had no intention of attacking the Inner Academy.
He had done this for a reason he wanted a stake in Jia Nan Academy.
He was clearly trying to establish some kind of connection between the Black Corner Region and Jia Nan Academy, which was why he returned the Fallen Heart Flame…
That was why Su Qian chose to trust him, leading to the current situation.
The volcano erupted…
Su Qian didn't dare think about it, nor did he have the time to.
His beard trembled with rage as his Dou Qi burst out once more, and in his hand, a golden folding fan condensed from Dou Qi appeared.
Opening the fan, Su Qian suddenly looked like an aged yet elegant scholar.
He waved the fan toward the sky, fanning the flames literally!
But at this moment, he had no other choice.
If the magma, pouring down like a torrential rain, reached the students below, they would be doomed.
Even if the academy itself was destroyed, he couldn't allow the students to be harmed.
However…
As he fanned the flames, the scorching energy from the lava began to merge into one, and in an instant, the red flames transformed into a transparent color!
It was no longer ordinary fire it had turned into the Fallen Heart Flame.
And that was just the beginning.
With Su Qian's fanning, the flames gathered, and soon, the Fallen Heart Flame reformed in the sky.
But this time, it didn't take the form of scattered flames.
Instead, it manifested as a massive, invisible Fire Python!
The surrounding experts were dumbfounded.
Damn…
Su Qian and the other elders of Jia Nan Academy stared at Wu Tian in shock.
Wu Tian merely shrugged, as if to say, "I said I'd return the Fallen Heart Flame, but I never said I'd seal it for you. That's your job."
Su Qian's mouth twitched bitterly.
This new Fire Python seemed even stronger than before.
Although its eyes were less intelligent than before, its power had increased undoubtedly due to Wu Tian's influence.
Wu Tian had refined the Fallen Heart Flame. Its spirit had been erased.
The flame he returned had no consciousness, but due to the fusion of multiple Heavenly Flames, it had become even more fearsome.
"Hiss "
The massive Fire Python let out a piercing screech and lashed its enormous tail.
With a scorching windstorm, it charged straight at Su Qian!
Su Qian's face changed.
Seeing the Fire Python relentlessly attacking him, he flapped his wings urgently, golden light flashing beneath his feet.
In an instant, he appeared right in front of the Fire Python.
His hands, infused with Dou Qi, clashed against the python's tail, producing a deafening explosion.
One strike accomplished nothing.
The Fire Python's giant pupils turned cold.
A raging, invisible fire surged from its body.
Then, in a bizarre flash, the massive creature reappeared beside the other elders.
The flames coiled around them.
Cold sweat trickled down their foreheads as they froze in place.
Compared to Su Qian, their strength was far inferior.
If this Fire Python could fight Su Qian evenly, then how could they possibly withstand even a single blow?
The Fire Python had disappeared and reappeared so fast that even Su Qian hadn't noticed.
Not that it was his fault.
This place had already become the python's domain.
The surrounding fire attributed energy was too wild.
Even Su Qian felt slightly uncomfortable from the oppressive heat, let alone the others.
At this moment, Su Qian finally understood the gap between himself and Wu Tian.
Wu Tian stood there, one hand casually behind his back, the other holding onto his beauty, his expression indifferent.
And yet…
Just by releasing the Fallen Heart Flame, he had already rendered Su Qian helpless.
If Wu Tian truly went all out, Jia Nan Academy would be annihilated!
This academy was the Headmaster's lifelong effort.
If it was destroyed, Su Qian wouldn't even be able to atone with his life.
Because… this was his duty to protect.
"…Sigh."
Su Qian sighed helplessly, shaking his head.
An old man like him wasn't naive he knew Wu Tian had done this on purpose.
Jia Nan Academy had completely lost.
Wu Tian, seeing Su Qian's defeated expression, smirked slightly.
With a casual flick of his sleeve, the massive Fire Python that had trapped the elders instantly vanished.
As if everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion.
The crowd was stunned.
This Guardian Elder of the Snake Tribe… was simply too strong.
A single, effortless move, and he had them completely under his control.
And what's more…
This wasn't just any ordinary flame it was the terrifying Fallen Heart Flame.
It could incinerate someone's heart without a trace.
Especially those weaker than Wu Tian compared to him, their souls were simply too fragile…
