Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

At the same time, Xiao Fan can also solidify the Chaos Fire. In this way, Xiao Fan can sense the location of the Chaos Fire Seed from the void and perceive the situation around it simply by using the Chaos Fire.

Moreover, if Xiao Fan's cultivation level were high enough, he could also transform the Chaos Fire Seed into a temporary external avatar of himself, although maintaining this step would require a great deal of battle qi.

"Stay away."

As Xiao Fan watched the Chaos Fire Seed gradually eroding the formation, he took You Ruo's hand, and a faint black energy enveloped the two of them.

As Xiao Fan finished his action.

The originally indestructible array membrane suddenly exploded with the chaotic fire seed on it.

The protective membrane of the array, which had been completely permeated by its roots, was also shattered at this moment.

The magma, which had been compressed in this space, found an outlet as the seal broke open, and poured out upwards with a roar.

Xiao Fan held You Ruo's hand, feeling the lava rushing past them, and smiled at her.

"How about it?"

You Ruo pulled her hand away from Xiao Fan's and headed upwards as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Fan smiled and followed after them in a flash.

Outside the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, a group of students who had been eagerly waiting to enter the tower for cultivation were now dispersing into the distance at the request of the inner elders.

"boom!"

Just as everyone was about to make a move, a loud explosion rang out from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Immediately afterward, everyone noticed that a surge of scorching energy was gradually rising from the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower towards the ground.

"This is......"

As Hu Jia sensed the energy from underground and recalled the events of a year ago, her pretty face turned pale. The students who had experienced the disaster a year ago also showed a hint of fear to varying degrees.

Only the new students who had just entered the inner courtyard and had not experienced the strange change were filled with a mix of nervousness and curiosity.

And at the top of the first level of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

The Grand Elder, his face grim, sensed the gradually surging, intense heat below.

"Hmph, this time, even if it costs me my old life, I will absolutely not let you out..."

However, the elder had barely finished speaking when a look of horror appeared on his face.

"How could this be? How could the seal at the bottom level have broken without any warning!"

As the Grand Elder finished speaking, crimson magma surged upwards from the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Because the seal at the bottom had been broken, the Grand Elder didn't have time to react before the countless streams of magma crashed into the top of the tower.

Within the magma, two intense bursts of energy, along with the magma, instantly shattered the protective shield atop the tower.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone in the inner courtyard, crimson magma, like a massive fire dragon ready to devour its prey, burst forth from the top of the tower, rising hundreds of meters into the sky.

Immediately, endless magma, like a volcanic eruption, splashed out from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and crashed down in all directions.

Looking at the inner court students shrouded in lava, the elders of the inner court showed grief on their faces, while the students themselves were filled with despair and suffocation.

"Give it to me, Ning!"

Just as everyone was in despair, a clear, cold voice rang out, and then all the lava in the sky froze in mid-air. Then, to everyone's horror, it rolled back up towards the sky and surged into the top of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

As the crimson lava dissipated, everyone discovered that a man and a woman were floating in mid-air.

Although the man looked young, he also exuded a sense of maturity; and the woman standing next to him attracted everyone's attention.

Whether it was the alluring charm she exuded unintentionally, or her proud figure that made countless female students feel ashamed, she firmly attracted everyone's attention.

Both of their appearances evoked a sense of melancholy in the crowd, making them doubt themselves: were there really such beautiful people in the world?

Seemingly noticing everyone's gaze, the woman gave a soft snort, and everyone came to their senses. Judging from her figure standing in mid-air, she was clearly a Dou Zong level expert!

Then everyone's attention was focused on the man, and they all looked puzzled, feeling that he looked familiar.

It's unclear who started it, but everyone's gaze fell on the statue standing in the square, and their expressions gradually turned to surprise!

As their gaze shifted back and forth between the young man and the statue in the square, the crowd finally found the source of this sense of familiarity.

Meanwhile, within the Panmen region, the Panmen members gazed at the young man in the sky, tears welling in their eyes. Hu Jia, her voice choked with emotion, softly said, "Welcome back, Xiao Fan."

Chapter 264 The Man Who Shocked the Inner Court (Third Update)

While everyone was stunned.

After pressing the lava back into the ground, Xiao Fan, who was in mid-air, turned around and looked at the dense crowd below.

Among the crowd, I saw many familiar faces, but I also found that many familiar people were no longer there, such as Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, Wu Hao, and Han Yue.

His gaze swept across the crowd in the square, which was clearly from the Panmen sect. Xiao Fan looked at the two leading figures and smiled slightly, "I'm back. Are you welcome?"

Hu Jia looked at the unserious Xiao Fan above her, her lips pursed slightly, and then she turned her head to the side. But Lin Yan, who was standing next to her, laughed loudly and shouted at Xiao Fan, "I knew you wouldn't die so easily."

Xiao Fan smiled, and then his figure flashed, landing in the square where the Panmen area was located before anyone could react.

You Ruo looked at Xiao Fan, who was chatting and laughing, tilted her head slightly, and then her body blurred and appeared behind Xiao Fan.

The crowd in the square looked on in astonishment at Xiao Fan's elusive movements.

Just as Xiao Fan landed on the plaza, the Grand Elder, who was inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, also appeared in mid-air in a flash. He then looked at Xiao Fan, who had landed on the plaza, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Xiao Fan, you little brat, hahaha."

He then landed next to Xiao Fan, patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder, and showed an excited expression on his face.

Xiao Fan looked at the white-haired elder and smiled slightly, "It's been a long time. Elder, you're still as vigorous as ever!"

The Grand Elder looked at Xiao Fan and realized that he couldn't even see through Xiao Fan's cultivation level. He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "You should have already advanced to the Dou Wang level, right?"

"Uh......"

Xiao Fan blinked but didn't say anything.

"How about you spar with Lin Yan?"

The elder pointed to Lin Yan standing to the side and said with a smile, "Now that Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing are not in the inner courtyard, only Lin Yan can spar with you. So, you don't want the new junior brothers to look down on you, do you?"

Xiao Fan clearly sensed the key point in the elder's words and did not immediately ask about Lin Xiuya and the others' whereabouts.

Turning his head to glance at Lin Yan, who was eager to try, Xiao Fan smiled strangely.

"You want to try?"

Lin Yan looked at Xiao Fan and laughed heartily: "I couldn't be happier!"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Xiao Fan's lips curled into a smile. He then flashed into the air and beckoned to Lin Yan with his finger.

At this moment, the students around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower also realized who the suddenly appearing young man was.

Especially for the freshmen who have just entered the inner academy, they have been listening to the seniors talk about how amazing Xiao Fan was back then, and how he was the senior who surpassed Xiao Yan to win first place.

They could only guess at Xiao Fan's strength from Xiao Yan's actions.

Now that they've met in person and are about to compete against Senior Lin Yan, they are naturally incredibly excited.

After all, Xiao Fan's ability to control the sky full of lava with a wave of his hand was enough to amaze these students who had only recently entered the inner courtyard.

The First Elder looked at Xiao Fan and Lin Yan, who were standing opposite each other in mid-air, and asked one of the elders beside him with a sigh, "How many moves do you think Lin Yan can last against Xiao Fan?"

"Uh......"

The elder glanced at the two figures in the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Ten moves?"

After all, in his opinion, Lin Yan's strength has already reached the level of a two-star Dou Wang. Even if Xiao Fan is also a Dou Wang, he would probably have to use some methods to defeat Lin Yan.

The Grand Elder nodded upon hearing his words, then said with a contented tone, "I guess it will only take three moves!"

"Three moves?"

Upon hearing the First Elder's words, the elder quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible. Lin Yan has rich combat experience. Even if there is a difference in strength, it is impossible for him to be defeated in just three moves."

"Hehe, then we'll wait and see." The Grand Elder chuckled, looking at the two figures in the sky with a mysterious expression.

A hint of suspicion flashed in the elder's eyes, and he waited for the two to finish their match.

"bring it on!"

Lin Yan landed in mid-air, a battle axe as tall as a person in his hand, and unleashed the formidable strength of a two-star Dou Wang, causing a gasp of surprise from the students below.

"Then be careful..."

Xiao Fan looked at Lin Yan across from him with a mysterious smile. Before anyone could react, a dull thud was heard, and Lin Yan's body fell directly to the ground.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan hadn't used too much power. Just as he was about to land, Lin Yan recovered. But at this moment, he stared at Xiao Fan in mid-air with a look of shock and exclaimed, "A...a Dou Huang?"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's voice, the students around the plaza also looked up in shock at the sky.

Even the Grand Elder, who had been calmly tugging at his beard, suddenly plucked out several hairs without realizing it.

......

After the recent turn of events, Xiao Fan, the senior student, has now completely won over the students outside.

Their attitude towards this legendary senior can only be described as fanatical.

Then the Grand Elder stepped forward and allowed everyone to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for cultivation. He then led Xiao Fan and the others to a secluded office.

"I haven't asked yet, who is this person?"

The First Elder looked at You Ruo following behind Xiao Fan, then raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was slightly taken aback when he saw the Grand Elder's gaze. He then blinked and looked at You Ruo behind him. After a moment's thought, he said, "Uh... this is my girlfriend. You can just call her You Ruo."

The Grand Elder glanced at the two of them, then smiled and said to You Ruo, "I must thank you for your help before, otherwise, the Inner Court would probably have been destroyed a year ago."
