Chapter 207: Grand Elder, Something's Wrong!
The elder's words made the expressions of the other elders and the Grand Elder turn serious.
Indeed, the chaotic Black Corner Region had now been unified and Han Feng wasn't even its true ruler.
The real figure behind the scenes was none other than the Guardian Elder of the Tagore Desert.
After breaking through to Dou Zong, he had somehow managed to take full control of the Black Corner Region.
Rumor had it that he already possessed a Heavenly Flame.
And strangely enough, his rise and the appearance of Wu Tian happened around the same time.
Could there really be a connection between the two?
The Grand Elder shook his head and spoke in a deep voice:
"That theory is bold… but not entirely impossible. However, have you considered the presence of Xiao Xun'er by his side?"
At the mention of Xiao Xun'er, the entire room fell silent.
Xiao Xun'er was a top tier noble, and there was no way she could be connected to the Snake People Tribe.
She was protected by a Dou Huang guardian, meaning the Snake People's ruler would never have had a chance to approach her in the past.
The connection between Wu Tian and the mysterious Black Corner Region overlord was highly unlikely.
Besides, Wu Tian possessed a Heavenly Flame.
If the Black Corner Region overlord truly collected Heavenly Flames, then if he knew about Wu Tian's, he would have already taken it by force.
The Grand Elder looked around at the gathered elders, his expression serious.
"Elders, we must strengthen our defenses within the Inner Academy."
"Even though we've sealed away the Heavenly Flame, its energy still leaks out whenever it surges. If that overlord senses it, our Inner Academy could face complete destruction!"
The elders nodded solemnly.
The threat was real.
The Black Corner Region's overlord now controlled numerous Dou Huangs, and if he discovered the Fallen Heart Flame, he would undoubtedly lead an army of experts to attack the Inner Academy.
And that's not even the worst part.
He might also bring the Snake People Tribe.
According to intelligence reports, the Snake People now had two Rank 6 Magical Beasts, as well as two newly recruited Dou Huangs from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
This was an overwhelming force.
With the Academy's Headmaster currently absent, this could very well be the end of the Inner Academy.
Their only hope was to completely suppress the Fallen Heart Flame's energy fluctuations.
The Grand Elder sighed and continued:
"Elders, if you ever encounter Wu Tian, try to accommodate him as much as possible."
"In the future, when the Fallen Heart Flame inevitably erupts, we might need to rely on him…"
"Understood!"
All the elders stood up and responded respectfully.
Just then, a panicked elder suddenly ran into the hall.
"Grand Elder, something's wrong!"
The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes.
"What happened?"
The Second Floor Guardian Elder had a bitter expression as he quickly reported:
"Grand Elder, Wu Tian has knocked out all the students training in the Second Floor's High Ranking Cultivation Rooms!"
The Grand Elder's eyelids twitched.
He pointed a finger at the reporting elder and said:
"I thought something serious had happened. Isn't it just a few students getting beaten? We already agreed to give him special privileges this is fine."
"Grand Elder, something's wrong!"
At that moment, Elder He from the Third Floor and another elder from the Fourth Floor rushed into the room.
The Grand Elder, Su Qian, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Don't tell me… Wu Tian has knocked out all the students on the Third and Fourth Floors as well?"
The two elders looked at each other, then nodded.
"Grand Elder, how did you know?"
Su Qian felt his head buzzing.
"What the hell is Wu Tian trying to do?!"
He was knocking out all of the Inner Academy's top students how were they supposed to improve if they were all unconscious?!
"Grand Elder, something's wrong!"
Another voice came from outside.
It was the Fifth Floor Guardian Elder, shouting anxiously:
"Wu Tian has just slapped all the Strong Ranking students unconscious and has now entered the Sixth Floor!"
Su Qian's face turned dark.
"I need to take back what I said earlier."
This wasn't just about giving Wu Tian special privileges.
He was making his own privileges!
This kid was literally beating his way through the entire Inner Academy.
Su Qian took a deep breath and asked:
"How strong is he, exactly? Have any of you figured it out?"
The First Floor Elder, Elder Liu, cautiously replied:
"Grand Elder, when I saw him, he seemed to be a Five Star Dou Ling."
The Third Floor Elder added:
"When I observed him, he looked like a Six Star Dou Ling."
The Fifth Floor Elder, who had just arrived, hesitated before saying:
"From what I saw… he's at least an Eight Star Dou Ling."
The Grand Elder's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
With a furious slap on the table, he roared:
"None of you could even figure out a single student's true strength?! What use are you?!"
"What are you waiting for?! Follow me to the Sixth Floor now!"
Without another word, Su Qian personally led the charge toward the Sixth Floor.
"If this keeps up, Wu Tian is going to make everyone hate him!"
"And that's fine. But if he gets provoked and uses his Heavenly Flame, he could trigger the Fallen Heart Flame's eruption that would be a disaster!"
At that moment, on the Sixth Floor, Wu Tian stood before the tightly shut High Ranking Cultivation Rooms, a mischievous smile appearing on his lips.
"This is it."
The Sixth Floor housed the Inner Academy's most elite Strong Ranking experts.
The weakest among them was a Six Star Dou Ling.
The top 35 ranked students all trained here.
Since many were outside the Academy, there were currently only about ten students inside.
But among them…
There were monsters who would later become top 10 Strong Ranking elites in the future.
But for Wu Tian, that didn't matter.
As always, he stuck to his routine.
BOOM!
He shattered the doors to all the Cultivation Rooms.
This level of arrogance was unprecedented.
But with a Heavenly Flame inside him, Wu Tian could manipulate the violent fire energy within the tower to amplify his attacks.
This time, however, before the doors even finished falling apart, multiple figures rushed at him at full speed.
These were no ordinary students.
Each of them wore a Strong Ranking emblem, proving their dominance.
Wu Tian smirked confidently.
"Now this is interesting."
A chaotic battle erupted instantly.
Their strength was undeniably impressive, but against Wu Tian, they had no chance.
Among them, Wu Tian spotted Liu Qing, the Tyrant Spear, and Lin Yan, the future top 10 Strong Ranking lunatic.
They were among the most formidable Inner Academy elites, and they all attacked together.
The combined force of their coordinated assault was devastating.
But Wu Tian simply waved his hand.
A surge of bone white Dou Qi erupted from his palm, colliding with their attacks.
And then…
There was no 'then.'
Everyone was instantly blasted away.
Liu Qing, Lin Yan, and the others smashed against the walls of their former training rooms.
"THUD! THUD! THUD!"
Wu Tian looked down at them, expressionless.
Then he spoke casually:
"Not bad. At least you guys didn't pass out in one hit."
His words were an outright insult to these once proud elites.
