. However, the Fallen Heart Flame was no easy target. Having slumbered at the bottom of the tower for countless ages, it had already nurtured a spirit no less powerful than any other living being.
Gazing at the human before it, and sensing the presence of several other unknown fires in the air, a glint of humanity flashed in the Fallen Heart Flame's eyes, a glint of naked greed.
It reasoned that if it could devour and fuse the fires it sensed, its power would surely reach a new level. Then, there would be no need to remain trapped at the bottom of this tower.
When that time came, it would surely turn this damned academy upside down.
With this thought in mind, the Fallen Heart Flame's attacks intensified. Its massive body resembled a tumbling fire dragon, each impact accompanied by a deafening roar.
The cracks in the seal spread rapidly, as if cut by a sharp blade. In a flash of light, countless sparks seemed to fly from them, illuminating the entire lower space.
Each twist of the fire python sent the surrounding air surging violently, waves of heat billowing as if to melt everything.
Its eyes betrayed a resolute and frenzied desire for freedom, a greed for power.
From the mouth of the Fallen Heart Flame, blazing flames continuously erupted. These flames formed massive fireballs in the air, streaking like meteors and crashing into the walls of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, leaving streaks of charred blood.
Under the frenzied onslaught of the invisible fire python, the entire lower floor of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower shook as if by a giant hand, a heart-pounding tremor.
The solid seal was now like thin ice, cracks visible in the light, like hideous wounds, foreshadowing its impending collapse.
As if sensing the scent of freedom, the Fallen Heart Flame's reaction intensified.
Like a surging tide, wave after wave of violent force crashed against the seal, each impact shaking the entire space.
The fire python's body danced like a maddening bolt of lightning, its every twist accompanied by a burst of blazing flames. The surrounding space distorted and warped under the intense heat, as if even the air itself was on fire.
In this crucial moment, Xiao Ling remained remarkably calm.
His eyes were as deep as a cold pond, his face devoid of any trace of panic. He and Yao Chen exchanged a quick glance, their gaze needing no words; the firmness and determination they expressed spoke volumes.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, as if drawing strength from heaven and earth. With a flick of his right hand, he extracted the icy cold air from his ring.
As the cork of the cold air was gently pulled out of Xiao Ling's hand, a faint stream of chill air, like a trickle of early spring water, quietly escaped.
The cold air spread like morning mist, gently drifting through the air, delicate as ice crystals. Each wisp resembled a delicate ice flower, emitting a soft blue glow.
As the cold air slowly spread, the once scorching tower base began to feel a hint of coolness.
Caressed by the chill, moisture in the air gradually condensed, forming a thin, gauzy layer of frost.
Like the dawn of early winter, this mist gently enveloped the entire lower level, diluting the once scorching heat and bringing the tower's base to a pleasant temperature.
The air around them lost its scorching heat, replaced by a faint, ice-blue hue.
This icy blue, like a cool summer breeze, brought a sense of refreshment amidst the scorching heat.
The stone walls at the tower's base, once reddened by the heat, seemed soothed by the chill, their colors gradually softening, as if they were quietly enjoying this hard-earned coolness.
Xiao Ling's surroundings, shrouded in tranquility, were enveloped by the arrival of this chill.
His hair, his clothes, even his very breath, were all coated in a thin layer of frost by the chill.
His long blue hair, streaked with tiny golden strands, seemed even more lustrous and dazzling against the cold.
A light layer of frost coated the tips of his hair, like stars dotting the night sky. This didn't diminish his elegance, but rather accentuated his aloofness and extraordinary presence.
Every gesture seemed to reveal an innate grace and composure.
Just as the Fallen Heart Flame gathered its full strength, poised to break free from its seal, Xiao Ling's gaze was like a sword unsheathed, sharp and resolute.
He swung his arm with a sudden, clean, and impeccable movement.
A faint blue light sliced through the scorching air, and a chill swept out like an icy torrent.
The once arrogant Fallen Heart Flame, upon contact with the cold, melted instantly like frost and snow under the blazing sun.
The fire python's body trembled slightly in this icy torrent, its once violent strength frozen in an instant.
A hint of fear and weakness now crossed its ferocious features, as if expressing a sense of dread at the sudden chill.
Xiao Ling's gaze was as sharp as a torch, calmly observing the fire python's every move.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ling quickly formed seals with his hands, preparing to unleash his powerful attack—the Great Desolate Prisoner Finger.
As the seals shifted, the air suddenly tensed, as if countless subtle hums were gathering, a force gathering strength, gathering momentum.
"Hah!" Xiao Ling roared, his voice like thunder, and fiercely pointed his finger at the fire python in the air.
Instantly, a massive finger formed in the air, accompanied by a deafening roar that seemed to tear apart the entire space.
With unparalleled force, this massive finger struck the fire python fiercely.
The fire python, caught off guard by the sudden attack, let out a shrill scream, a sound like metal being torn apart, piercing and piercing.
Under the force of the Great Desolate Prisoner Finger, its body was crushed by the massive finger. Its previously raging flames were completely suppressed, and the fire python's body tumbled in the air, twisting in agony.
"Bang!" The giant phantom finger struck the fire python with a deafening roar. The entire space seemed to tremble at the impact, leaving only the fire python's wailing and Xiao Ling's steady breathing.
The invisible fire python tumbled through the air for several times, its body like a flaming whip, tracing a series of fiery trails through the air.
Finally, it slammed heavily into the wall of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower with a deafening roar.
Its massive body impacted the tower wall, sending up a shower of scorching magma like a blooming fire lotus.
Its body was slightly disheveled, and the once dazzling flames dimmed, as if losing their former brilliance.
However, it was, after all, the product of a powerful alien fire, and the surrounding fiery energy surged towards it like a tide.
The fire python devoured this energy with huge gulps, and its flames gradually reignited, their light becoming even more dazzling.
The fire python , which had been somewhat sluggish, slowly regained some vitality under the nourishment of this energy.
The fire python raised its massive head and stared at Xiao Ling with resentment, hissing in anger and resentment.
Its blazing eyes were like two blazing flames, eager to burn Xiao Ling to ashes in an instant.

The fierce gaze, like two sharp swords, pierced Xiao Ling's heart.
The Fallen Heart Flame, weakened by the previous cold weather, had already begun to weaken slightly, and then, after being struck by Xiao Ling, its strength was further reduced.
However, the invisible fire python, relying on the high temperature of the surrounding environment, continuously absorbed heat and restored its energy, and did not quickly lose its ability to move.
The fire python's body twisted and rolled in the air, hissing, as if struggling in pain, or angry protest.
Every breath was accompanied by the sound of flames puffing and burning, trying to regain its strength.
Xiao Ling felt the malicious gaze, but remained unmoved.
His slender figure stood tall and straight, like a towering mountain, and he stood firmly in his place, his eyes calmly meeting the fire python.
Gazing at the invisible fire python before him, Xiao Ling muttered to himself, "As expected of a creature of strange fire, it's not easily defeated. It seems I'll have to resort to some tactics."
The fire python's body trembled slightly, and it twisted again, its flames whirring.
Each twist carried immense force, squeezing the surrounding space until it crackled, as if ready to collapse at any moment.
It opened its massive maw, and a thick column of flame erupted with a resounding boom, hurtling straight towards Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling dodged, his sapphire-blue Dou Qi wings behind him gently flapping, quickly dodging the ferocious attack.
The column of flame collided with the tower wall, instantly burning it ablaze. Countless rocks shattered and fell, crashing into the lava with a crackling sound, stirring up a rain of fire.
With lightning speed, Xiao Ling instantly rushed towards the ferocious invisible fire python.
A flash of white light flashed in his hand, and he firmly grasped the Meteoric
Divine Weapon, the tip of the spear emitting a sharp, cold light. Every swing of the spear unleashed a chain of Dou Qi, as if cleaving the void. The spear shadow clashed fiercely with the Fire Python's invisible flames.
Each clash was accompanied by a clang of metal, sparks flying, like brilliant meteors in the night sky.
The invisible Fire Python roared, its body twisting, and once again hurled its invisible flames at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling's eyes were sharp, and as he danced with the Meteoric Divine Weapon in his hand, it seemed to carve insurmountable lines in the sea of fire.
Every step he took was precise, as if he were imprinting his will within the heat, searching for the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow.
After deftly dodging the Fire Python's attack once again, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated. He sheathed the Meteoric Divine Weapon into his ring, and the Dou Qi within him surged like a raging tide.
Xiao Ling shouted, "Come out!" Instantly, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Sea Heart Flame, and the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame erupted from his body.
Three kinds of strange fire intertwined in the air, forming a dazzling tri-colored fire lotus.
The emerald green of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the deep blue of the Ocean Heart Flame, and the golden yellow of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame intertwined, like the purest dance of flames between heaven and earth.
The fire lotus slowly spun, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble under its immense power.
With a piercing gaze, Xiao Ling thrust the tri-colored fire lotus toward the invisible fire python.
Wherever the fire lotus passed, the air seemed to ignite, a hissing sound.
The invisible fire python felt the terrifying power of the tri-colored fire lotus, and a flicker of fear flashed in its eyes, but now there was no escape.
"Boom!" The tri-colored fire lotus exploded on the fire python, radiating a radiant light, like the sun rising again in the sky.
The shockwave shook the entire lower level of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, and the magma boiled like a raging wave.
The fire python let out a shrill roar, and its massive body gradually dissipated in the earth-shattering explosion, disintegrating into countless sparks.
As the invisible fire python gradually dissipated into the air, the blazing aura at the tower's base seemed to gradually recede. Xiao Ling seemed oblivious to all this.
His gaze was fixed on the spot where the fire python had vanished. There, a mysterious flame, about half a meter high, slowly rose, like some unknown miracle, its splendor blossoming in the silence.
Yao Chen, witnessing this awe-inspiring scene not far away, could not help but sigh in deep emotion.
Gazing at Xiao Ling, who appeared slightly disheveled but still stood tall, he marveled, "Xiao Ling's self-created fighting technique is incredibly powerful and possesses boundless potential. With time, it might even rival even Heaven-level fighting techniques!"
Yao Chen floated to Xiao Ling's side, casting a curious glance at him.
Looking at Xiao Ling, he saw that although his clothes were slightly torn, his gaze remained firm and his breathing steady, clearly unharmed.
"Xiao Ling, that attack must have taken a lot of toll. Are you alright?" Yao Chen asked with concern, his tone betraying his worry for Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, chuckling softly, "It's okay, this level is still acceptable."
His voice was calm and confident, as if imbued with boundless power.
Their gazes naturally drifted to the slowly rising Fallen Heart Flame.
The flame danced through the air as if alive, emitting a chilling aura.
As if sensing the gazes of the two, it rippled slightly, as if responding to something.
The flame seemed invisible, but anyone who saw it felt a strange, tangible presence. Within it, something slowly flowed, like a spirit.
Though it appeared merely a flame, it held a profoundly eerie feeling, as if possessing humanlike intelligence and agility.
"This Fallen Heart Flame is truly remarkable. It seems to possess a certain spirituality," Yao Chen declared in a deep voice, a solemn look in his eyes.
"If we really talk about strength, in this area filled with fire energy, even an ordinary Seven-Star Dou Zong would find it difficult to gain any advantage."
Xiao Ling nodded, his eyes fixed on the flame, and slowly said, "Yes, its power far exceeds my imagination."
"If it weren't for the help of the cold energy, it would have been more difficult."
"However, no matter how powerful it is, it can only serve as nourishment for my strength."
