"Sea Heart Flame!"
As Su Qian launched his first attack, Han Feng's face shifted subtly. With a flick of his fingers, a deep blue flame appeared in his palm.
The flame, as vast as the ocean, emanated an overwhelming aura. With a casual wave of his hand, Han Feng sent it to collide violently with a stream of Dou Qi.
"Boom!"
A low explosion echoed, and the energy ripples spread out, forcing Han Feng back a step before he regained his balance.
Despite the assistance of the Heavenly Flame, Su Qian was still a Dou Zong powerhouse, making it hard for Han Feng to gain any advantage from a direct clash.
After his first strike, Su Qian didn't hesitate for a moment, transforming into a streak of lightning and shooting straight at Han Feng.
"Hehe, old Su, let us join the fun."
The Golden-Silver Elders, reacting quickly, burst forward, unleashing a powerful light-green Dou Qi blast at Su Qian.
With the two of them attacking, Su Qian dared not be careless. The three clashed, their strikes intertwining with low, thunderous booms that created a dazzling scene.
Seeing Su Qian entangled with the Golden-Silver Elders, Han Feng smirked and then turned to the numerous experts from Black-Corner Region behind him. With a wave, a surge of potent and bloody energy shot toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
"Stop them!"
Seeing this, Hu Gan's face darkened. If the people of Black-Corner Region managed to break the seal and release the Fallen Heart Flame, the entire Inner Academy could be doomed.
Under Hu Gan's command, nearly thirty academy experts surged forward, blocking the path of Han Feng's group.
"Jie Jie, today, we shall see the strength of the Jia Nan Academy elders."
Around a dozen figures carrying a thick, bloody aura suddenly appeared, forming a standoff with the academy experts.
With a sinister laugh, Han Feng maneuvered his way toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
As the thirty academy experts moved, over a dozen peak experts from Black-Corner Region appeared, crashing toward them with overwhelming force, instantly splitting up the ranks of academy fighters.
As chaotic battles erupted in the sky, Han Feng flapped his wings, appearing above the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Looking at the dark, shimmering energy membrane below, he was just about to make a move when a sharp whistling sound came from overhead!
Frowning slightly, Han Feng dodged the incoming force, glancing up to see Hu Gan staring at him coldly.
"Don't even think about claiming the Heavenly Flame!" Dou Qi surged in Hu Gan's hand as he spoke in a low voice.
"Just you alone? I'm afraid you won't stop me," Han Feng sneered.
Even though Hu Gan was a peak Dou Huang, Han Feng, possessing a Heavenly Flame, was confident in his strength—invincible under Dou Zong level!
"Then let's find out."
Without further words, Hu Gan released a powerful aura, his Dou Qi enveloping Han Feng. The two became blurred figures, fiercely battling each other.
Thus, the sky turned into a chaotic battlefield. Wherever one looked, there were raging fights, explosions sounding like a continuous series of firecrackers.
On the ground, Mo Yu watched the fierce battles in the sky. Su Qian was held up by the Golden-Silver Elders, and Hu Gan was locked in an intense fight with Han Feng.
The other elders were being forcibly engaged by the Black-Corner Region's numerous Dou Huang and Dou Wang sect masters, often outnumbered, yet managing to hold their ground.
One couldn't deny that the quality of Black-Corner Region's experts was indeed superior to Jia Nan Academy's.
Of course, that didn't imply that the academy was weak. Aside from the hidden powerhouses, Jia Nan Academy's greatest strength lay not in its own force but in its vast influence.
Since its establishment, countless experts had emerged from the academy, spreading across the Dou Qi continent, and many held significant power.
The top ten students of the Inner Academy's Strong List, for instance, each had the potential to become a Dou Huang, and some could even advance to Dou Zong. Not only were they formidable on their own, but many of them also came from powerful families or influential factions.
By admitting these students, Jia Nan Academy built favorable relations with these factions. If the academy ever needed help, these people would come to their aid in waves.
This was the true terrifying aspect of Jia Nan Academy.
Watching the overwhelming battle, Mo Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow. Among the Black-Corner Region experts, a figure cloaked in a blood-red aura burst forth.
This person's eyes glowed red with anger as a formidable blood-red Dou Qi surged from his body.
In the next instant, the blood-red figure's wings flapped fiercely, sending him shooting like a red streak through the sky toward one spot—Xiao Yan!
Seeing this, Mo Yu paused and muttered, "That must be Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect. If I'm not mistaken, not only did his son fall to Xiao Yan when he first arrived in Black-Corner Region, but even the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill was taken by Xiao Yan."
"No wonder he's filled with such animosity. Looks like Xiao Yan is in for some trouble."
Rubbing his chin, Mo Yu gazed thoughtfully at the figure charging toward Xiao Yan.
However, Mo Yu didn't worry too much about Xiao Yan's safety. Fan Lao might be ranked fifth on the Black Ranking and have the strength of a five-star Dou Huang, but Xiao Yan had previously caused even Dou Zong expert Yun Shan to suffer losses. Clearly, Fan Lao wouldn't easily gain the upper hand against him.
Mo Yu was more concerned with the ongoing battle between Han Feng and Hu Gan.
If Han Feng were to unseal the Fallen Heart Flame, it would mean a life-and-death struggle with Jia Nan Academy. To secure his safety, the formation of the Black Alliance would become inevitable.
Although there were other powerful factions in Black-Corner Region, like the Demon Flame Valley and Black Emperor Sect, Mo Yu believed that once he led the Yuan Manor to defeat the Black Alliance, with Jia Nan Academy's support, his influence would permeate every corner of Black-Corner Region like a dense network of veins. Mo Yu would become the undisputed king of Black-Corner Region.
As he observed the fierce battle in the sky, Mo Yu hid himself in a secluded corner. But just as he settled in, a sharp gust of wind suddenly shot down from above.
Instinctively reacting to the attack's shockwave, Mo Yu shifted, dodging the attack by soaring into the air. Though he avoided the attack, his movement revealed his presence. Thankfully, those alerted didn't launch any attacks at him.
Realizing this, Mo Yu was reluctant to remain in the chaotic, energy-filled sky. He immediately enveloped himself in Thunder Dou Qi and prepared to retreat.
Just as Mo Yu was about to withdraw, a tall man locked in battle with two Dou Wang experts casually glanced over. In an instant, his gaze froze.
The thief who had stolen his Transformation Pill was right here!
That unforgettable figure ignited blood-red fury in the man's eyes, as he remembered the precious Transformation Pill being stolen. His anger surged, and he began breathing heavily in rage.
After a long and fruitless search, he had unexpectedly encountered the despised thief in this setting!
"Roar!"
With blood-red eyes, the man let out an angry roar filled with murderous intent. He summoned a powerful force, forcing the two Dou Wang experts back.
Once they had retreated, the tall man flared his yellow wings and shot toward Mo Yu like a falling meteor, his sharp cry piercing the sky.
"You little bastard, you sure made me search far and wide!"
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted across the sky, causing Mo Yu to startle. Turning his head, he saw a tall and imposing figure rapidly closing in, expanding in his line of sight.
"It's Gao Lie, the Sect Master of the Barbarian Beast Sect."
Recognizing the familiar voice and the distinct physical power, Mo Yu quickly identified him. He had clashed with this person before during the scramble for the Transformation Pill, so he wasn't exactly a stranger.
Back then, Mo Yu was only a low-level Dou Ling, and even a casual attack from Gao Lie required Mo Yu to use all his energy just to barely withstand it.
But now, not only had Mo Yu reached the Dou Wang level like Gao Lie, but he was also a Five-Star Dou Wang who had unseal two Thunder Soul and mastered two Di-Class Dou Techniques!
Thinking of this, Mo Yu's mouth curved into a smile. In the past half-year, while Gao Lie had advanced from an Eight-Star Dou Wang to the peak of Dou Wang, only a step away from breaking through to Dou Huang, his progress seemed meager compared to Mo Yu's. Now that he had reached the level of Five-Star Dou Wang, Mo Yu felt it was time to test his strength against Gao Lie!
So, instead of retreating from the meteor-like descent of Gao Lie, Mo Yu's silver Dou Qi wings flashed behind him as he deftly dodged Gao Lie's charging attack.
"Whoosh!"
As he turned, a powerful gust of wind swept by, but Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged as he skillfully maneuvered his silver Dou Qi wings to dodge Gao Lie's second meteoric strike. Stabilizing himself, he looked at the towering, furious man before him and said, "Sect Master Gao, long time no see. Seems like your temper hasn't cooled down one bit."
Gao Lie's face was twisted with rage as he glared at Mo Yu, his yellow wings beating with the power of a fierce beast, while his palms slowly gathered overwhelming energy.
"Hand over the Transformation Pill, and I might spare your life out of respect for you being a student of Jia Nan Academy!" Gao Lie growled. Despite his extreme anger, he managed to maintain a sliver of rationality. For some reason, though they hadn't met in half a year, the young man who used to be as insignificant as an ant in front of him now seemed unfathomable, even faintly dangerous.
Furthermore, they were currently at Jia Nan Academy. Although Gao Lie had come with Han Feng to stir up trouble, they hadn't yet provoked the academy to the point of no return. Killing a Jia Nan Academy student, however, would be crossing the line completely.
The Barbarian Beast Sect was only a second-rate power; Gao Lie didn't wish to get entangled in a full-on conflict with such a colossal force as Jia Nan Academy. Thus, he reined in his fury as he spoke.
"Sorry, Sect Master Gao, but the Transformation Pill has already been used by my battle pet. If you want one, you'll have to wait for the next batch," Mo Yu replied with a shrug.
"You damned little bastard!"
Hearing this, Gao Lie's face froze, then his eyes turned crimson like those of a raging beast. The fury within him erupted like a volcano, uncontrollable.
Gao Lie's face twisted with wrath, his reason clouded by his anger. The Transformation Pill was his hope of breaking through to Dou Huang, and now that hope had vanished. He couldn't suppress the murderous intent rising within him.
To hell with it! Even if he killed Mo Yu, he could just lead his sect to serve under Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor. Surely, Han Feng wouldn't turn his back on him in return for his loyalty.
"Die!"
An ominous, brutal aura radiated from Gao Lie, spreading around him. His muscles expanded like a sponge, making him look like a human-shaped beast. With the Dou Qi wings on his back, he resembled a fierce tiger gaining wings!
Gao Lie's fierce aura naturally attracted the attention of countless students from afar.
Upon seeing the silver-eyed youth, all their faces changed slightly. Who didn't know that silver eyes were the hallmark of Mo Yu in the inner courtyard?
The leader of the Mo Gang, who had disappeared for nearly two months, had returned only to clash with a peak Dou Wang. This scene left many students puzzled.
Though they didn't know the backstory, it looked as though Mo Yu was stepping forward to protect the inner courtyard from a powerful enemy, earning him admiration from many onlookers.
"Isn't that… the boss? Why's he fighting the Barbarian Beast Sect's sect master, and how come his aura feels different now…" murmured Qian Mo in the crowd, narrowing his eyes with some concern.
"Not sure. Maybe the boss doesn't want these Black-Corner Region people thinking the inner courtyard has no defenders," Lin Yan muttered, his gaze sharpening as he looked at the silver Dou Qi wings behind Mo Yu.
"Do you think… the boss's Dou Qi wings are his own?"
This suggestion startled the Mo Gang members around him. They knew Mo Yu had a flight Dou Technique, so when they saw his Dou Qi wings, they instinctively assumed it was due to his Dou Technique.
But Lin Yan's words made them carefully examine the radiant silver Dou Qi wings behind Mo Yu. They soon realized that this pair of wings, crackling with strong electric energy, was entirely different from his previous Purple Cloud Wings.
A terrifying thought surged in their minds.
Could it be… that the boss had broken through to Dou Wang?!
