Chapter 198: Effortlessly Crushing "Qing Shan," The Heavenly Flame Training Tower
The student who was questioned by Wu Tian trembled violently, his legs nearly giving out beneath him.
He stammered, "T They… they're from Qing Shan!"
"Qing Shan?" Wu Tian repeated calmly.
Seeing that Wu Tian wasn't angry, the student's knees stiffened slightly, and he hurriedly explained,
"Qing Shan is a mid tier faction, barely making it into the middle ranks of the Inner Academy. They have… around twenty members in total."
Wu Tian nodded indifferently and said, "Take me there."
"Ah?"
Everyone around him froze at his words.
He was going straight for them?
And so…
Every member of Sunfire Alliance mobilized completely surrounding Qing Shan's base.
Soon after, it didn't matter if they were the leader or a regular member
In the name of a 'friendly spar,' they all ended up on the ground.
Sunfire Alliance's first day was a glorious success, securing a massive amount of Fire Energy.
…
Among the freshmen, Wu Tian was nothing short of a god.
No matter who the opponent was, he could defeat them with a simple wave of his hand.
Back in the Outer Academy, he could wipe out forty people in a single move.
Now, in the Inner Academy, nothing had changed.
One wave twenty people fell.
His strength was outrageous, to the point where he had never even needed to use a battle technique.
This time, however, Wu Tian didn't distribute all the Fire Energy as he did before.
Instead, he absorbed the leader's Fire Energy himself.
With Sunfire Alliance still in its infancy, management was chaotic something Wu Tian had no patience for.
And Wu Hao? That hot headed brute? He was even worse.
Realizing his strength wasn't enough, Wu Hao completely abandoned his responsibilities, throwing all the work onto Hu Jia and the nameless fourth ranked freshman.
Though Sunfire Alliance only had fifty members, the workload was massive.
Xun'er, being the refined young lady that she was, suddenly found herself dragged into the administrative mess by Hu Jia.
For some reason, after spending a night together, their relationship had strengthened.
Hu Jia was now clinging to Xun'er's arm, and Xun'er didn't even resist.
Perhaps it was because they both had their eyes on the same man.
If Hu Jia wasn't interested in Wu Tian, Xun'er would never have allowed such closeness.
In her mind, it was inevitable since they lived under the same roof, their relationship would only deepen over time.
No matter what happened in the future, their lives would be intertwined.
…
With the three of them busy managing Sunfire Alliance, Wu Tian vanished, heading north.
There, he could feel it.
The heat.
The excitement.
His goal.
Wu Tian kicked off the ground his body shooting forward like a comet.
Yet, when he left his previous position, there wasn't even a speck of dust disturbed.
His movement technique was flawless.
Passing by a street corner, he barely noticed Wu Hao, who had been asking for directions.
Wu Hao only felt a sudden gust of wind, then saw a rapidly shrinking silhouette in the distance.
Recognizing the familiar aura, his expression hardened.
A faint blood red Dou Qi surrounded his legs.
His body flickered, and in the next instant, he vanished from sight.
When he reappeared, he was already ten meters ahead, rapidly chasing after Wu Tian.
The onlookers lining the road were stunned.
"Are they… racing?"
One old student muttered in shock, "What kind of movement technique is that?"
This was clearly directed at Wu Hao, and hearing it filled him with pride.
But then
Another student remarked, "The guy in front wasn't even using a movement technique… yet he was still that fast."
That was about Wu Tian.
Wu Hao froze.
His good mood instantly shattered.
He had always prided himself on his speed, yet compared to Wu Tian, he felt utterly insignificant.
Wu Tian never showed fear, no matter who he faced.
It wasn't arrogance it was confidence.
Like how he himself treated the weaker Outer Academy students, Wu Tian viewed everyone else the same way.
A true predator.
Was it just his imagination?
No Wu Hao was certain.
If he wanted to grow stronger, he had to follow Wu Tian.
Behind him, Wu Tian smirked slightly.
Smart kid.
…
The Inner Academy was massive.
Even with Wu Tian's insane speed, he held back, making sure to stay hidden and allow Wu Hao to keep up.
It took him half an hour to reach the Heavenly Flame Training Tower.
For Wu Tian, that was enough time to travel across the entire Jia Ma Empire.
But strangely, he didn't find it boring.
Along the way, he saw countless fights.
Training duels.
Gambling matches.
People screaming strategies from the sidelines.
There was no mercy in the Inner Academy.
Every battle was for one thing Fire Energy.
As he neared his destination, the crowds grew thicker.
Soon, the streets became so congested that even walking was difficult.
A massive group had gathered ahead, surrounding something.
Rather than push through, Wu Tian simply leaped into the trees.
Standing on a high branch, he overlooked the scene.
Even though he had expected this, he was still shocked.
At the center of the crowd was a massive depression in the ground.
Within it, a towering black structure emerged from deep underground, its dark spire and single entrance visible on the surface.
It was the symbol of the Inner Academy
The Heavenly Flame Training Tower.
Wu Tian's eyes gleamed.
This was it.
He carefully studied the distorted space surrounding the tower.
It was the same as the Book Pavilion from the Outer Academy
A protective barrier created by a Dou Venerate.
Even he couldn't break through it.
Even with three Heavenly Flames, he stood no chance against such a powerful seal.
Unless…
Unless the Fallen Heart Flame itself erupted from below, weakening the barrier from within.
When that happened
Wu Tian would strike.
His lips curled into a smile.
The hunt was about to begin.
