Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-552

The door was pushed opened. Immediately, a pale-red powerful light
suddenly surged out, causing Xiao Yan to shut his eyes as a reflex. He
only slowly opened them a long while later and eyed the scene in the
room. The amazement on his face grew even denser.

The spacious interior of the training room had basically been covered by
a layer of thick pale-red fog. One could merely see a spot two to three
meters in front of him. Wherever one’s gaze was directed to the area
ahead was covered by that rich dense pale-redness.

Xiao Yan’s face carried amazement as he stepped into the training room.
His hand grabbed at the drifting pale-red fog in an illusionary manner.
Immediately, a warm feeling was transmitted from his hand. A thread of
pale-red fog moved along his opened pores and entered Xiao Yan’s body,
turning into threads of pure energy that automatically flowed within his
veins.

“What powerful energy!” Surprise flashed across Xiao Yan’s eyes. He
inhaled a deep breath of cold air. It was a long while later before he
finally spoke in a soft voice. The degree of richness of the energy
present in this place was at least more than ten times greater than that
of a high grade training room in the fifth level! Xiao Yan did not have
the slightest doubt that he would truly be able to feel a flying feeling
if he trained here.

“Hmph, of course. Otherwise, those fellows would not look at this place
with such envious eyes.” Zi Yan arrogantly raised her small chest
behind him as she spoke.

Xiao Yan nodded joyfully. He slowly stepped into the room and his body
passed through the pale-red fog. A moment later, he saw a pale-black rock
platform, that was similar to the other training rooms, in the middle of
this training room. In front of the rock platform was a small notch. It
appeared that training in this place similarly required the deduction of
‘Fire Energy’.

“This is the training place. You have your own ‘Fire Crystal Card’,
right? Oh that’s right, I forgot to tell you. This no. 1 training room
may be better than the other training rooms, but it also requires quite a
lot of ‘Fire Energy’. It appears that training here for one day
requires the deduction of 30 days of ‘Fire Energy’.” Zi Yan swung
her ponytail as she revealed two canine teeth while she spoke with a
smile.

“30 days of ‘Fire Energy’…” Such a huge training fee was
something that caused even the wealthy and confident Xiao Yan to
involuntarily exhale cold air from between his teeth. If one was to count
in this manner, it appeared that one would nearly require a 1000 days of
‘Fire Energy’ in order to train here for one month? Heavens… Xiao
Yan would definitely not be able to train here were it not for him
relying on the sale of medicinal pills to earn ‘Fire Energy’ even if
he was beaten to death given such a great ‘Fire Energy’ deduction
burden. This amount of ‘Fire Energy’ was something that most ordinary
students would not be able to spend in an entire year.

“Don’t tell me that you don’t have ‘Fire Energy’. I have no
other solution if that is the case.” Zi Yan hurriedly spoke when she
saw Xiao Yan’s manner. She did not know of any methods to earn ‘Fire
Energy’. Therefore, she could only use the ‘Fire Energy’ that she
obtained from the Inner Academy every month to maintain her training.
Even though the first on the ‘Strong Ranking’ was able to obtain
quite a lot of ‘Fire Energy’ every month, it was merely just
sufficient for her to train in this place. She did not have any method if
she was asked to sponsor someone else.

“You need not worry about this.” Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.
After which, he slowly sat down cross-legged and spoke to Zi Yan,
“After this, I will begin to train. You should not come and disturb me
during this training period. If you want to look for me to refine Danwan,
you can wait at the side for me to wake up. You must not suddenly wake me
from my training condition. Otherwise… you can continue to eat those
raw medicinal ingredients in the future.”

Xiao Yan’s threat clearly had an extremely great effect on Zi Yan.
Therefore, the latter’s head immediately nodded like a chicken feeding
on grains. That manner was such that she had nearly raised her hand to
swear.

Xiao Yan relaxed and smiled when he saw this action of Zi Yan. He took
out a ‘Fire Crystal Card’ from his storage ring and gently inserted
it into the notch. After which, his hands immediately began to slowly
form the training seal while his eyes were shut quietly…

Zi Yan tooted with her mouth when she saw Xiao Yan entered into his
training state. She threw Xiao Yan a grimace before walking out of the
training room in an extremely displeased manner. After which, she flipped
her hand and closed the door.

The ‘Fire Energy’ that the no. 1 training room deducted may be called
a sky-high price, but it must be said that its effects could indeed match
this kind of sky-high price. This was the thought that appeared in Xiao
Yan’s heart when he saw the cluster of extremely rich ‘Heart Flame’
that appeared within his body.

The ‘Heart Flame’ formed while training on the top few levels could
be called a thread or a wisp. The ‘Heart Flame’ in this no. 1
training room had appeared in the form of cluster after cluster.
Moreover, the heat within was also a couple of times stronger than the
former. Under this kind of powerful ‘Heart Flame’, the speed at which
Dou Qi was being refined was so quick that even Xiao Yan was quietly
speechless.

A large cluster of invisible ‘Heart Flame’ curled and rose near his
heart. Wave after wave of powerful Dou Qi unceasingly followed the Qi
Paths and circulated. After which, it was poured in… following the
appearance of this Dou Qi once again, it had already become a line that
was as thick as a thumb and appeared crystal clear, much like an
emerald-colored crystal line.

Although the rate of increase of his Dou Qi had increased more than ten
times under the refinement of this powerful invisible ‘Heart Flame’,
the Qi Paths in Xiao Yan’s body frequently emitted waves of piercing
pain due to the hot temperature. Moreover, this was the result after Xiao
Yan’s body had already undergone strengthening by the ‘Core Quenching
Body Milk’. If it had been his body before it had been strengthened,
given Xiao Yan’s current strength such a ferocious ‘Heart Flame’
would likely cause the interior of his body to roll about in an
overwhelming manner the moment it appeared.

Although Xiao Yan was extremely unwell due to the feeling of piercing
pain, it did not delay him by even a little. The thought of his mind
still pushed the Dou Qi to repeatedly surge out from the sea urchin Dou
Crystal that had seven long thorns.

Currently, the urchin Dou Crystal in his body had been reduced from the
initial nine long thorns to seven of them. After becoming familiar with
the Dou Ling class during this period of time, Xiao Yan slightly
understood some of its secrets. It appeared that each time his strength
advanced once, a long energy thorn would shrink back into the sea urchin
Dou Crystal. According to this guess, it was likely that Xiao Yan would
be truly able to reach the Dou Wang class when he had absorbed all of the
seven remaining energy thorns into that sea urchin Dou Crystal!

Xiao Yan felt extremely astounded by this special measurement method of
the Dou Ling class. This had caused him to have a clearer understanding
of his own strength. This was undoubtedly much clearer than the vague
feeling of the Da Dou Shi class.

With the help of that wild and violent ‘Heart Flame’ from the no. 1
training room, Xiao Yan was able to vaguely sense that the seventh long
energy thorn within his sea urchin Dou Crystal was gradually becoming
shorter at an extremely slow speed. The moment it completely shrank into
the Dou Crystal, it would represent that Xiao Yan had reached the three
star Dou Ling level.

There was no sense of time when one was training. This was especially in
such cases when one could clearly sense the Dou Qi in one’s body
becoming more powerful and purer by the day. One would not have the
slightest feeling of time that was flowing by in the outside world.

A full five days had passed since Xiao Yan had entered the no. 1 training
room. Zi Yan had come once during the five days. She waited for a long
time when she saw Xiao Yan’s training condition. Until the end, she did
not dare to forcefully wake Xiao Yan up. She was really afraid that Xiao
Yan would cease refining Danwans for her in his anger. In that case, it
was likely that she would have to return to the miserable life of eating
raw medicinal ingredients.

The benefits that these five days had toward Xiao Yan were naturally
something that one would know even without saying. Not only did his aura
become increasingly dense, but the Dou Qi in his body had also become
much more polished. The seventh energy thorn on the sea urchin Dou
Crystal had already shrunk by nearly half. From this, it was sufficient
to see the achievement of Xiao Yan’s training during these five days.
If he was placed in a normal situation, it was likely that Xiao Yan would
not have such an effect even if he trained for a full month.

Xiao Yan finally withdrew from his training condition after training to
the seventh day. Coincidentally, he met Zi Yan who had been waiting in
this place for half a day. He began to smile somewhat embarrassed when he
saw the unhappy manner of the little girl before hurryingly to receive
the medicinal ingredients from her hand. He immediately helped her refine
a batch of Danwan. Only then did Zi Yan’s expression became slightly
better.

The seven days of training were enough to catch up with nearly a month of
training. The powerful flood like surging waves of Dou Qi within his body
caused Xiao Yan’s entire body to be filled with the feeling of
strength. This no. 1 training room was indeed far from what an ordinary
training room could compare with.

Xiao Yan finished refining Zi Yan’s Danwan before eating some simple
things. He got up and moved his bones a little, but did not have the
intention of exiting the room. He rested in this manner for over an hour
before he once again returned to the rock platform, sat cross-legged and
trained under Zi Yan’s eyes, which appeared to be a gaze that one used
when looking at an insane person.

“You lunatic. Who trains in this manner…” Zi Yan muttered before
helplessly shaking her head. She could only exit the training room once
again.

Xiao Yan’s plan when entering the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’
was to undertake a retreat all the way until the start of the ‘Strong
Ranking’. He was pressed for time and naturally did not dare to neglect
his training. If everything was normal, he would be able to train until
the time as he wanted to. However, just as Xiao Yan’s training retreat
reached its fifteenth day, a special unexpected occurrence appeared in
the calm ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower’…

The atmosphere was quiet in the no. 1 training room. Xiao Yan was seated
cross-legged in the middle. Threads of pale-red fog were unceasingly
pouring into Xiao Yan’s body as they followed his breathing.
Eventually, they transformed into rich energy that flowed within his Qi
Paths.

“Bang!”

A somewhat low and muffled sound suddenly sounded within the training
room. Following the emission of the muffled sound, it appeared that the
entire training room trembled gently. Quickly following this, the
originally calm energy within the training room suddenly rolled intensely
like boiling water.

It was naturally impossible for Xiao Yan to continue to maintain his
training condition given this activity. His tightly shut eyes abruptly
opened as his face looked at the activity within the training room in a
shocked manner. A moment later, his expression changed abruptly as he let
out a shocked involuntarily cry, “Why has the energy within the
interior of the tower become so much more wild and violent?”

“All students within the tower. Leave the ‘Blazing Sky Qi Refining
Tower’ within the next ten minutes!”

An elderly voice suddenly reverberated throughout the interior of the
entire tower while Xiao Yan was shocked. Finally, it rested beside
everyone’s ears and did not disappear for a long while.

“Something has happened within the tower…” A thought swiftly
flashed across Xiao Yan’s heart at this instance.
