Chapter 206: Crushing Bai Cheng, The Inner Academy Elders Convene
Before they could even react, they were already lying on the ground.
These so called fourth floor elites were merely newly advanced Dou Lings, completely unqualified to be Wu Tian's opponents.
Some of them hesitated to act, while others simply stood there in a daze so Wu Tian had no choice but to eliminate them all with a wave of his hand.
At this point, both Da Dou Shi and low rank Dou Lings were nothing but ants to him.
And that was just his raw physical strength.
With three types of Heavenly Flames fused within him, his power and energy were beyond terrifying.
The elder responsible for guarding the fourth floor was left completely dumbfounded.
"What is Wu Tian trying to do?"
If he had already reached the fourth floor, that meant he must have caused just as much chaos on the previous floors.
At this point, it wasn't even about being high profile anymore this was pure arrogance without limits.
But the elder couldn't intervene.
The rules of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower were clear: as long as no one's life was in danger, the elders couldn't interfere.
And right now, these students were just knocked out.
So, he had no reason to stop Wu Tian.
Wu Tian found it strange that his "bed warming maid," Han Yue, wasn't here like she said she would be.
But he quickly realized the reason if she wasn't on the fourth floor, she must have gone to the fifth floor.
"Tsk, this girl is quite ambitious."
Although the fourth floor was meant for Dou Lings, her strength wasn't limited to this level.
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the defeated students, Wu Tian calmly stepped onto the fifth floor.
Compared to the previous floors, the number of students on the fifth floor was significantly smaller.
Here, every student was an outstanding talent, many of whom had already entered the Strong Ranking (Heaven Rankings).
The fifth floor was the true gateway to the Strong Ranking.
Any student capable of training here was already strong enough to compete for a spot on the rankings.
But to Wu Tian, it didn't matter.
He immediately sensed Han Yue's presence inside one of the rooms.
Naturally, he didn't disturb her.
But that didn't mean he wouldn't disturb anyone else.
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion echoed across the floor as ten powerful figures stepped out of their training rooms.
Each of them radiated an overwhelming aura, clearly far above the students on the lower floors.
And among them…
A white robed young man furrowed his brows and walked forward, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Hmm? You must be the new student, Wu Tian?"
The white robed man studied him carefully, his tone filled with doubt.
Wu Tian took one look at him and immediately knew who he was.
"A familiar stranger, huh?"
The students training on the fifth floor had likely been here for a long time, which meant they wouldn't know about Wu Tian.
Yet, this guy recognized him immediately.
That meant he had been paying attention to Wu Tian before.
"If my guess is correct, this must be Bai Cheng Bai Shan's cousin."
Bai Cheng had established the Bai Gang, a notable faction in the Inner Academy.
Currently, he was a Four Star Dou Ling, and his strength was widely recognized.
He was already strong enough to rank within the Top 80 of the Heaven Rankings, and in two years, he would even reach the Top 40.
Wu Tian grinned mockingly and said:
"That's right."
Bai Cheng's expression darkened.
He had been planning to deal with Wu Tian later, but the brat actually came to him first.
And…
He was strong enough to enter the fifth floor?
That caught Bai Cheng off guard.
When Bai Shan informed him that Wu Tian had reached Dou Ling, Bai Cheng didn't believe it at first.
But now, the truth was right in front of him.
Only true elites could enter the fifth floor.
Even so, this kid was far too arrogant.
If it were just a one on one fight, Bai Cheng figured they would be evenly matched.
But Wu Tian had provoked everyone here there was no way he'd win today.
This wasn't even about Bai Shan anymore.
Wu Tian had challenged him personally.
Bai Cheng clenched his fists.
"I'll make him regret it."
But before he could even finish his thoughts, a shadow suddenly appeared before him.
"What?!"
A hand came straight for his face.
Bai Cheng wasn't slow he was a Four Star Dou Ling, after all.
His body instinctively ducked, trying to avoid the slap.
But…
The palm still landed on his face.
"PAH!"
With a deafening smack, Bai Cheng's body soared through the air.
A Four Star Dou Ling had just been slapped out of existence.
Wu Tian clapped his hands together and frowned.
"I really hate it when people ask me questions and then just… stand there buffering. So annoying."
Everyone: …
THAT was your reason for slapping him?!
Behind Bai Cheng, three people rushed forward.
They were his loyal followers, and they hurried to catch his falling body.
The other fifth floor students were completely shocked.
Wu Tian's strength… was terrifying.
He had just instantly slapped Bai Cheng away.
At the very least, that meant he was a Six Star Dou Ling.
He could enter the sixth floor at any time.
Then why the hell was he here beating up fifth floor students?!
One of the students tried to speak:
"Wu Tian, I admit you're strong, but "
"PAH!"
Before he could even finish, Wu Tian slapped him unconscious.
In the Inner Academy, strength was everything.
If he had the power, why should he bother being polite?
Besides, these were Strong Ranking candidates.
If he didn't teach them a lesson now, they'd just cause trouble for him later.
If he beat them now, then in the future, their stronger seniors would step up.
And when he beat those seniors, the entire Inner Academy would submit.
One slap at a time.
"If you're not convinced now, just wait until I beat someone even stronger."
Meanwhile, in the Inner Academy Elders' Conference Room
In a spacious, well lit hall, several elderly figures sat in a semi circle.
The dim atmosphere reflected their serious expressions.
Each of them wore special badges, symbolizing their high ranking elder status.
At the center, a black robed elder coughed lightly and said:
"Elder Liu, are you certain about this? Wu Tian possesses a Heavenly Flame?"
Upon hearing this, the other elders' faces darkened.
Heavenly Flames…
A source of great power, but also a nightmare for the Inner Academy.
Every day, they had to monitor the Fallen Heart Flame, unable to eat or sleep properly, just to ensure the Inner Academy's stability.
And now…
They had just detected a sudden surge of energy earlier today.
At first, they thought the Fallen Heart Flame was acting up again.
But before they could intervene…
The energy vanished.
That was when they knew something wasn't right.
Elder Liu nodded and said:
"Yes. I am certain. Wu Tian possesses a Heavenly Flame. Though I don't know which one, I guarantee that he has one."
The black robed elder sighed bitterly and said:
"I never expected this… First, the Fallen Heart Flame led to our Inner Academy's rise, and now a single student possesses such a rare power… Truly, fate plays its games with us."
Another elder frowned and asked:
"Grand Elder, do you think Wu Tian has any connections to the Black Corner Region's mysterious forces?"
