Chapter 174 Is This the Fallen Heart Flame?
In the softly lit ancient tower, a large group of people surrounded Xiao Yuan, who had his eyes closed, and several dozen people were whispering to each other, with low laughter audible from time to time.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Elder Liu is coming."

Suddenly, a shout was heard outside the crowd, and soon a path was quickly separated. In this "Tianfen Refining Qi Tower", the elders on each floor of the tower had the highest status. Whoever offended them here would suffer bad consequences. They would use their position to trip you up and make you cry without tears.

Following the crowd, an old man in plain clothes walked in slowly. He swept his smiling eyes over Xiao Yuan and others who were stiff and motionless in the field, and said with a smile: "What ignorant little fellows, they didn't even report in advance when they first entered the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. This suffering is really unfair."

"Hehe, every year there are reckless freshmen who can't wait to enter the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, and they deserve it." Some gloating laughter broke out in the crowd. Although the training speed in the tower is quite fast, it is still a bit boring after all. Now that there are newcomers coming in to have fun, these old students are naturally happy to see it.

"Old Su, why are you so sneaky?"

Elder Liu ignored the students who were laughing around him, but raised his head and looked towards a corner of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower and asked in confusion.

"It seems like these little guys are quite interesting, but they haven't shown up yet. We'll have to work together later to help these little guys!"

Elder Su walked out from the shadows upon hearing this and said with a smile.

"Then let's get started. Some people can't hold on any longer."

Looking at some of the freshmen with white smoke coming out of their bodies and their faces turning red like burning charcoal, Elder Liu spoke hurriedly.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Elder Su naturally would not joke about his students' lives, and he immediately took action together with Elder Liu.

The two men stretched out their dry claws like eagle claws, pointing them at some students whose bodies had begun to tremble slightly. Wisps of milky white flames slowly emerged from their fingertips, and the flames condensed at the fingertips, finally forming a constantly rotating fire vortex.

He flicked his finger lightly on the fire vortex, and the fire vortex quickly left his hand and finally hovered about a foot away from the new heart.

"come out!"

The two elders rotated their palms slightly and gave a light shout, and the milky white fire whirl rapidly spun, with waves of suction emanating from it. Finally, under the pulling force of the flame, a slightly twisted invisible flame was forcibly pulled out from their hearts, and finally was sucked into the fire whirl, and forcibly shattered into nothingness.

As the invisible flame left their bodies, the freshmen's trembling bodies suddenly solidified. Their legs softened and they sat down on the ground. Their faces, which were as red as charcoal, quickly faded and they breathed heavily like buffaloes. Their bodies and minds were extremely exhausted at this moment and they had no intention of looking at the people around them.

However, just as the two were about to continue doing the same thing, a loud laugh suddenly came from the side.

"Two elders, please stop for now. Leave this kind of trivial matter to me."

Hearing this, the two elders turned their heads and saw Xiao Yuan looking at them with a smile on his face.

"You?" The two elders were stunned at first, and then asked in surprise, "How did you wake up by yourself?"

"is it hard?"

Xiao Yuan blinked in confusion and asked.

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, it's..." Elder Liu was left at a loss whether to laugh or cry by Xiao Yuan's Versailles remarks. Just as he was about to explain, he discovered that a freshman next to him had reached his limit and his body was shaking violently.

However, before he could make a move, Xiao Yuan on the side flashed to the side of the student. Then black and white flames covered his palms, and he bent his fingers into claws and grabbed the student's heart through the air.

I saw a wisp of invisible flame being captured!
Feeling a vague sense of threat from the black and white flames, Elder Liu's expression changed slightly.

This seems to be a strange fire!

Elder Su already knew that Xiao Yuan possessed the strange fire, but he was still extremely shocked.

Because Xiao Yuan could actually absorb the split flame of the Fallen Heart Flame from other people's bodies.

This is a bit surprising!
While the two elders were shocked, Xiao Yuan had already smiled and wrapped the split flame with the Yin-Yang flames and introduced it into his body, and began to practice.

No one else can control this fire.

But he can!

So, under the incredulous gazes of the two elders and the old students who were watching the fun around, Xiao Yuanzhen alone absorbed all the split flames projected from the Fallen Heart Flame in everyone's body.

Although some of the energy had been consumed by the split flames projected by the Fallen Heart Flame, it still allowed half of the Dou Qi in Xiao Yuan's Qi Palace to be refined, which was a considerable gain.

Elder Liu and Elder Su looked at each other as they watched Xiao Yuan's performance end, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The first time one enters the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, one can actually judge a student's potential. It is the first time that one is burned by the Heart Fire. Since all freshmen do not know how to dissipate the Heart Fire, the longer a person persists, the stronger his resistance to the Heart Fire is. This is of great benefit for future studies in the tower. Of course, nothing is absolute, and this is not absolutely accurate, but it can be used as a rough consideration.

But someone like Xiao Yuan, who was almost like a cheat, not only was he able to wake up from the burning heart fire on his own, but he was also able to help other students. Apart from anything else, just this one skill was enough for Xiao Yuan to carry out some of the elders' tasks.

Moreover, being able to capture the heart fire without harming the students requires extremely delicate control over one's own fighting spirit. Such strength is truly amazing.

"Thank you two elders for always looking after me."

After Xiao Yuan finished his training happily, he said to the two elders with a smile.

"You're welcome. If I had known you were so capable, I wouldn't have shown up."

Elder Su was more familiar with Xiao Yuan because of the fire hunting competition, so he smiled and teased when he heard the words.

"Haha, this year's freshmen are really good!" Elder Liu on the side also nodded with a smile.

A student with a promising future and possessing a strange fire, as long as he practices normally, his future achievements will definitely be much higher than his. There is no harm in being polite to him at this moment.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Old Liu, take this little guy to visit the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower."

After entering the Qi Refining Tower, there were relatively fewer things to do, so Elder Su didn't need to keep an eye on Xiao Yuan. After giving instructions, he sent a message to Elder Liu:
"The Great Elder said that if possible, then give Xiao Yuan more convenience. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Elder Su walked out of the tower without looking back.

Hearing this, Elder Liu was slightly startled, then looked at Xiao Yuan suspiciously.

This guy doesn't look like the Great Elder!
"Hello, Elder Liu. I'm a new student here and I don't understand many things. Could you please introduce me to the world?"

Xiao Yuan was not shy with Elder Liu. After bowing, he asked with a smile.

"Oh, come with me."

Reminded by Xiao Yuan, Elder Liu came back to his senses, smiled kindly, then turned around and led the way. Xiao Yuan followed closely. Seeing this, A Tai behind him waved his hand, signaling the freshmen to keep a slight distance and then followed Xiao Yuan.

This Tianfen Refining Qi Tower was buried deep underground, with only a portion of the tower tip exposed. The area inside the tower was somewhat spacious, which was beyond Xiao Yuan's expectations. As he walked along the way, Xiao Yuan discovered that the space inside the first floor of the tower alone might be enough for 500 people to practice at the same time.

In the circular space inside the tower, there are training rooms of different sizes. However, most of these training rooms are now occupied, and there are some small red signs hanging above the doors of these rooms. However, the words written on the signs are not the same. Xiao Yuan stopped to take a look. It turned out that these small red signs had three words representing levels, advanced, intermediate, and low, which were used to distinguish the levels of the training rooms in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

All the advanced training rooms are located close to the center of the tower, while outside them are the intermediate training rooms and even lower-level training rooms.

"In this Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, these high, middle and low-level training rooms generally have to rely on one's own strength to compete for them. If you are strong, you can get the best training conditions. If you are weak, you can only go to the outermost low-level ones. Practice in the training room.”

Pointing to a training room with a high-level sign hanging on it, Elder Liu smiled faintly.

"In the tower on the same floor, regardless of the level of the training rooms, their training costs are the same. For example, in the first floor, the low-level training room is a "fire energy" training for one day, and the same is true for the high-level training room. ."

"Does pressure bring motivation? That's quite interesting!"

Xiao Yuan nodded suddenly and said.

"Yeah, that's right, that's what I mean!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Elder Liu's eyes.

Afterwards, Elder Liu also directly helped Xiao Yuan and arranged A Tai and others in an intermediate training room with excellent effects, which was said to be no less effective than an advanced training room.

But Xiao Yuan said that he possessed a strange fire and could withstand more, so he wanted to go to the next level.

Although Elder Liu was a little worried about this, he felt relieved after Xiao Yuan released the strange fire.

After all, compared to the split flames projected by the Fallen Heart Flame, the one in Xiao Yuan's hand was a genuine strange fire that had been refined and was completely under his control.

What's more, Xiao Yuan has the Blue Fire Crystal Card. If he really wants to go, he can go directly to the sixth floor. However, that is the strength that only a six-star Dou Ling can withstand. The gap is too big, and if Xiao Yuan goes there, the effect will not be very good.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, and suddenly stopped walking. Before they knew it, they had reached the center of the tower.
"This is.?"

Looking at the bottomless black hole in front of him with some curiosity, Xiao Yuan slowly took two steps forward, came to the edge of the black hole, and carefully looked down. The pitch-black darkness spread to the end of his sight. The strange darkness with almost no light made Xiao Yuan feel a little dizzy.

This black hole seems to run through the entire Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower. If it were not covered by the tower's spire, this dark and deep hole might be visible from the sky at a glance.

In this dark deep cave, if you feel carefully, you can seem to notice that the air here is much hotter than other places. It feels like there is something at the bottom of the deep cave that is constantly emitting energy. The amount of heat given to the entire Tianfen Qi Refining Tower is average.

Is this the Fallen Heart Flame?
Thinking secretly in his heart, Xiao Yuan leaned his head forward slightly, staring into the deep darkness. As his mind moved, black and white flames surged into his eyes, and the endless darkness below began to become brighter.

However, just as the darkness became lighter and the vision became clearer, Xiao Yuan's hair suddenly stood up.

Under the gaze of those eyes with clear black and white and rising flames, the space in the endless darkness suddenly began to distort slightly. Then, these distorted spaces climbed up towards the cave entrance at an extremely terrifying speed like an invisible python.

"Xiao Yuan, back off!"

Just as the distorted space was about to climb up, a shout suddenly sounded in Xiao Yuan's ears, and then a dry hand was placed on his shoulder, and with a strong pull, it took him far away from the dark cave.

"Hiss."

Xiao Yuan had just been pulled away from the cave entrance when a strange sound like a flash of lightning continued to spread in the dark cave. A moment later, the slightly dim environment suddenly became brighter, and the temperature in the air also rose rapidly. An extremely terrifying and ancient breath slowly emerged from the black hole, and finally, like a lightning that tore through the night, it burst out of the seemingly endless deep darkness.

At this time, the space about two meters above the entrance of the cave has almost fallen into an extremely distorted state. However, although the space is extremely distorted, nothing can be seen with the naked eye, except for those distorted spaces and the constant sound of "hissing" "The sound and the entire area seemed a little weird because of this scene.

On the side, Elder Liu's face was also extremely solemn. He kept pulling Xiao Yuan back. When he looked at the distorted space, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes. Although he couldn't see what was there, he had been an elder in the tower for so many years and had heard of some things. Therefore, he also knew how terrifying the thing in the deep darkness was.
However, he did not notice that Xiao Yuan, who was in his hand, was gradually melted by the terrifying high temperature.

It cannot be seen by the naked eye, but Xiao Yuan, who had arrived in the distance at some point, clearly saw the horrifying creature that rushed out of the black hole with his eyes wrapped in yin and yang flames.

It was an invisible fire python that was at least ten meters thick, but no one knew how long it was!

And with the appearance of the fire python, the yin and yang flames in Xiao Yuan's body also emitted a strange fluctuation.
