BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 33: Hun Lao Gui



Wealthy and powerful!

Xiao Yan had no doubts. According to the books in his storage ring, there were two most powerful organizations on the Dou Qi Continent. One was the Hall of Souls, and the other was the Pill Tower, which was formed by all the alchemists who had united to counteract the Hall of Souls' abduction of alchemists.

The Hall of Souls was such a formidable organization that it forced all those haughty alchemists to unite for self-preservation.

The Heavenly Flames, which were coveted by every alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, might indeed be nothing in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Hall of Souls.

Undeniably, it was an evil yet terrifyingly powerful organization.

Xiao Yan didn't say much more after hearing the old man's words, just smiled slightly, thanked him politely, and turned to the wooden door to leave.

The old man watched as Xiao Yan prepared to leave and slowly said, "The 2nd-ranked Heavenly Flame, the Nihility Devouring Flame, resides within our clan."

!!!!!

Xiao Yan paused in his steps. The Nihility Devouring Flame, 2nd ranked on the Heavenly Flame Ranking was within the Hun Clan?!!

The higher the rank on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, the more mysterious the flame, especially the top few flames that only had a picture and a few lines of description. The 2nd Rank Nihility Devouring Flame had even fewer words than the Purifying Demonic Lotus

Flame.

It only mentioned that this Heavenly Flame was born in the void and could devour everything in the world.

Not to mention finding it, one wouldn't even know what it looks like.

And the 1st Rank Heavenly Flame was even more mysterious, without even a name, its Heavenly Flame Ranking section was just a blank space.

"Jie Jie Jie, since you possess the Soul Command token of Hun Huzi. I might as well tell you that as long as you have enough talent in alchemy, even if you are not from our clan, you can still obtain a Seed Flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame," the old man dropped a bombshell.

Although Xiao Yan knew that the Hall of Souls was an evil and dangerous place, he couldn't help but feel the desire to join the Hall of Souls rising in his heart at this moment.

The 2nd-ranked Nihility Devouring Flame, who could resist such temptation!

Xiao Yan took a deep breath to calm himself, then said with his back to the old man, "As far as I know, Heavenly Flames do not possess what you call 'Seed Flame.""

"How much can you know about the vastness of the world? If you are willing to join the Hall of Souls, you can come back here and meet me. The name of this seat is Hun Lao Gui." Hun Lao Gui's eyes flashed green for a moment, then he slowly closed his eyes and said nothing

more.

After Xiao Yan left the Soul Sacrifice Old Shop, the closed-eyed Hun Lao Gui slowly muttered to himself, "This kid actually carries a very faint scent of the Xiao Clan on him. I wonder how Xiao Xuan would feel if he knew that one of his clan members joined the Hall of Souls. Jie Jie Jie, interesting."

The next morning, Xiao Yan came out of his room just in time to see Xun Er coming out of hers.

"Good morning, Xun Er. Did you have a fight with your blankets last night?" Xiao Yan joked with a smile as he approached her.

Xun Er chuckled as she said, "Xiao Yan ge-ge is actually the one who did it. Look, even your collar isn't straight."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked downstairs.

A squadron of Jia Nan Academy's griffins were neatly lined up to transport the new students to Jia Nan City after everyone had eaten breakfast.

"Students, make sure you have the badges just distributed to you. Only those with badges can enter the academy," Instructor Ruo Ling took out a cerulean-colored badge. A barrier protected the academy, and one could not pass through it without a badge.

Xiao Yan had been resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt something and opened his eyes to look into the distance.

There, the outline of a city so vast it was astonishing slowly appeared in the glow of the setting sun.

"Is this Jia Nan City?"

"It's so vast."

"What a beautiful view."

Even from high above, they could not fully capture the entire city in their view, which illustrated how immense the city's area was.

It was only Jia Nan Academy that had the ability to occupy such a vast area in the heart of the Black-Corner Region.

As the flying beasts landed in Jia Nan City, Xiao Yan exhaled slowly and couldn't help but stretch lazily. He swore to himself that he must quickly reach the Dou King realm to gain the ability to fly; his butt was starting to feel numb from sitting!

All the new students took to the streets as they followed Instructor Ruo Ling. The surging crowd left Xiao Yan secretly amazed. Such popularity was unprecedented even in the capital of the Jia Ma Empire. It was truly worthy of the continent's oldest academy. The name alone attracted countless people to this place as if it were a pilgrimage.

Jia Nan City did not have a city lord's mansion, it was the Jia Nan Academy that was located in the center of the city. Jia Nan City could basically provide for all the students' daily needs. If they wanted to hunt magical beasts, they only had to go to the outskirts of the city. There was a huge forest full of natural treasures where students could hunt and gather herbs freely. "Alright everyone, you are now members of Jia Nan Academy. You will be in the Huang Rank 2nd Class. You can choose to stay in the class dormitory or live in Jia Nan City," Instructor Ruo Ling gently told all the new students.

Xiao Yan and the other new students from Wu Tan City naturally formed a class together, while Xiao Yu was in a higher grade. In last year's Inner Academy examination, Xiao Yu was only a 2-star Dou Practitioner. Naturally, she did not advance to the Inner Academy. "Everyone must be tired. Be on time for the Huang Rank 2nd class tomorrow. I will explain some of the rules of the Outer Academy and the Academy's credit system."

Xiao Yan and the others had already heard from Xiao Yu about some of the systems of the Outer Academy. In the Inner Academy, the most important thing was obtaining the Fire Energy to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, but in the Outer Academy, the most crucial thing was credits.

These credits were different from college credits. They were used to exchange for Qi Methods and Dou Techniques, and even for some medicinal pills, magic crystal weapons, and the use

of practice rooms.

In the Dou Qi Continent, a world where the strong were revered, there was no such thing as a free lunch. One must give something to get something.

Jia Nan Academy was not a charitable institution. The academy's Dou Techniques and Qi Methods were not available for free either. Completing the academy's tasks earned credits, which could then be exchanged for Dou Techniques and Qi Methods at the Outer Academy

Book Pavilion.

Even performing daily cleaning tasks for the academy earned a small number of credits, but the quickest way to earn credits was to gather herbs in the academy's forest. Selling these herbs to the Academy in exchange for credits allowed the exchange of Dou Techniques and Qi

Methods.

"Instructor Ruo Ling, may I have a moment of your time?" Xiao Yan asked softly.

"What is it, little genius?" Instructor Ruo Ling's mood was undoubtedly good. With Xiao Yan and Xun Er as her trump cards, this year's Huang Rank Class 2 was bound to be the most

dazzling class.

"I want to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower as soon as possible." Instructor Ruo Ling was not surprised when he heard Xiao Yan's words. If it weren't for this year's Inner Academy examination having already concluded, with Xiao Yan's current cultivation level, passing the exam would have been a breeze.

The studies in the Outer Academy weren't particularly beneficial for him, so it was normal for

him to want to train in the Inner Academy.

Instructor Ruo Ling looked troubled, "Xiao Yan, with your cultivation and strength, it wouldn't be difficult to pass the next Inner Academy examination. Can't you wait a year?" Xiao Yan shook his head. One year? It was impossible to waste a year at this moment. Moreover, his goal wasn't to learn the Qi Methods and Dou Techniques of Jia Nan Academy; his goal was the Heavenly Flame!

Even though he knew that the chances of him being able to devour a Heavenly Flame were slim, he wasn't willing to not try!

"Sigh." Instructor Ruo Ling let out a sigh. Genius often came with stubbornness.

"Alright, your situation is indeed special. I will discuss with the Deputy Headmaster of the Outer Academy tonight to see how we can handle your case." Being a teacher is so hard! Can't even take a rest right after getting off the Griffin!
