Of course, Xiao Xun'er hadn't failed to consider getting a higher-ranked movement technique.
It was just that Earth Class movement techniques were indeed difficult to find, and combined with the fact that she was now far from the Gu Realm, along with limitations from Xiao Yan's current cultivation level and other factors, she ultimately only managed to gift Xiao Yan a Low-Grade Earth Class movement technique.
However, seeing Xiao Yan now using the movement technique she had given him, along with various methods to barely restrain Liu Qing, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was fighting below the stage, was using the Blood Ground Eight Shatter to barely maintain a stalemate against Liu Qing.
This secret technique could temporarily increase strength by igniting the boiling of one's blood within the body.
When he fought Bai Cheng yesterday, the latter had once used this secret technique against him.
After that, Xiao Yan had become interested in it.
Although his master had criticized it as being too low-grade—only able to increase one's strength by about one to two stars—and also having fairly severe side effects, for Xiao Yan, who was encountering such secret techniques for the first time, it still held tremendous allure.
After persistent coaxing, Yao Chen had finally given him something to trade for it.
And it was precisely through this secret technique that Xiao Yan had forcefully elevated his Dou Qi level from a Two-Star Dou Ling to a Four-Star Dou Ling, managing to stand toe-to-toe with Liu Qing.
However, using it in such an overloaded manner would definitely leave him bedridden for some time afterward.
Finally, under the astonished gazes of the academy crowd, Xiao Yan unleashed the Flame Splitting Tsunami, and just like in the original story, fought Liu Qing to a draw.
Several days later—
Meanwhile, inside the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Lin Feng was nervously waiting.
If this operation were to be exposed, he might end up offending Jia Nan Academy.
And when it came to seizing the Flame Mantra, there was also the risk of being discovered by Xiao Yan.
If both sides learned that he was trying to fish in troubled waters, things would turn ugly.
Thus, even someone like him couldn't help but feel a little tense.
However, the human instinct to pursue greater power still compelled him to stay and take the gamble.
After all, cultivating the Flame Mantra was one of the best methods on the Dou Qi Continent to be selected by the ancient Tuo She Ancient Emperor as an inheritor.
Having transmigrated to this Dou Qi Continent, he naturally harbored deep aspirations toward reaching the peak realms of this world.
Given his natural talent, it was almost impossible for him to even reach the Ban Sheng level, let alone aim for even higher realms.
Thus, this might very well be his only chance in life to come close to the Dou Di realm.
At the very least, it would allow him a shot at getting near it.
"Boom!"
A violent tremor suddenly jolted Lin Feng out of his thoughts.
"What on earth is happening...?"
At the very bottom floor, Su Qian muttered under his breath.
Suddenly, his aged face changed drastically,
his gaze filled with shock as he looked towards the underground magma world.
There, an extremely violent and immense energy was slowly surging up from beneath the magma.
Moreover, with the emergence of this wild energy, the once-calm magma world instantly shattered into chaos.
Out of nowhere, fierce gales rose above the magma, sweeping up torrents of molten rock that surged fifty meters high like crimson waves, then crashed back down heavily.
In that instant, the deafening roar sounded like the collapse of mountains and the shattering of the earth!
"This energy... why does it feel...?"
Sensing the suddenly surging familiar energy, a look of horror rose on Su Qian's face.
Having dealt with the Fallen Heart Flame for so many years, he naturally recognized it—
this energy undoubtedly belonged to the Fallen Heart Flame!
"What the hell did that beast do?!
How did its energy suddenly grow several times more powerful than before?!"
Staring at the magma world below, Su Qian murmured in shock.
"The energy has grown this much stronger... Damn! These seals might not hold much longer!"
Suddenly recalling something extremely important, a chill surged in Su Qian's heart.
Just as he was about to summon more people to reinforce the seal, a loud rumble erupted once again from the depths of the deep pit.
His gaze instinctively shifted toward the source of the sound, and when he saw it, he gasped sharply!
In the endless magma world, the dark red magma began to churn violently, and an extremely violent energy spread within it.
As the magma rolled, it was as if something was about to break through the surface.
After a long moment, the boiling magma suddenly became calm again.
However, Su Qian's expression did not relax in the slightest.
He could clearly sense that the raging energy was getting closer and closer to the magma's surface.
Seeing this, Su Qian dared not delay any further; this situation was already far beyond what he could handle alone.
He had to gather as many Elders as possible before the Fallen Heart Flame broke through the seal, so that everyone could work together to suppress it once again.
"Boom!"
Just as Su Qian had hurried away, the previously calm surface of the magma suddenly erupted with a massive wave.
As the magma splashed into the air, a nearly transparent fire python, its body covered with invisible flames, tore through the magma.
Carrying a surge of energy so vast it caused the very space to tremble, it appeared beneath the seal.
"Screech!"
Breaking out of the magma, the enormous transparent fire python raised its massive head high, venting the resentment it had harbored after centuries of imprisonment.
In an instant, a sharp sonic wave burst out, powerful enough to severely injure an ordinary Dou Wang on the spot.
As the sound wave spread, the magma world roared like countless bombs detonating within it, deep rumbles continuously echoing, and magma erupting everywhere.
The entire magma world now looked like a scene straight out of hell.
After unleashing its pent-up rage in a near-mad frenzy, the massive transparent fire python locked its gaze tightly onto the seal that had imprisoned it for countless years.
An energy so violent it could kill an early-stage Dou Zong burst forth from its colossal body.
Then, the fire python's enormous form suddenly slapped down against the magma.
Instantly, its hundreds-of-meters-long body shot upward like a streak of invisible lightning, carrying searing heat and wild energy as it charged ferociously toward the seal above!
"Boom!"
Another deafening explosion erupted.
Inside the tower, the students of the Inner Academy had already descended into utter chaos.
"All Elders, immediately head to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to assist me in resealing this beast!
All other students, evacuate! Leave the tower at once!
As long as you're within the Inner Academy's territory, run as far as you can!"
Hearing the thunderous roar echoing across the sky, the entire Inner Academy instantly fell into silence.
Upon hearing Su Qian's voice, all the Elders also dropped whatever they were doing without hesitation.
They quickly unleashed Dou Qi Wings and soared toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
In an instant, colorful streaks of light shot across the Inner Academy's sky, all racing urgently in the same direction.
Meanwhile, the panicking students inside the tower, awakened by the booming shout, scrambled desperately toward the exits, fearing they would fall behind even by a second.
