Time flew quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the seventh day since Yang Fan arrived at the Blazing Fire Academy.
These past few days, Yang Fan had been clearing the snake poison from Dugu Yan's body.
Things were progressing very smoothly!
Especially after Dugu Bo left, Yang Fan was able to work more freely.
Although it seemed like he hadn't been cultivating these past few days, in Old Man Yao's words, wasn't this a form of cultivation in itself?
In the process of treating Dugu Yan's snake poison, his alchemy level and spiritual power were improving subtly.
"Come!"
"It's time to take the medicine."
What Yang Fan refined for Dugu Yan was not a pill, but a liquid.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Since Dugu Bo left, it seemed there was no one in this world who could sanction this woman.
"If you don't drink it, forget it!"
"Later, your grandfather will kneel down and beg me to mix a bowl for you."
Yang Fan indicated that since the snake poison wasn't on him, he wasn't anxious in the least.
Just as he was about to leave...
Dugu Yan, sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly called out to him.
"Why is today's medicine different from yesterday's?"
"That means the snake poison in your body is changing."
Watching Dugu Yan down the medicine in one gulp, Yang Fan's calm heart couldn't help but fluctuate slightly.
He knew it!
White Grass Flower could completely replace Purple Orchid, and even without refining it into a pill, it had an immediate effect on the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.
It was just that the effect was slightly worse!
...
Yang Fan was walking inside the academy, thinking about what herbs to use to refine medicine for Dugu Yan tomorrow, when he happened to encounter Huo Wu and her group returning from outside.
According to the timing, this group had been to Star Dou Forest for more than half a month.
Yang Fan counted...
Not a single one was missing!
"Yang Fan."
"There really is a very powerful soul beast in Star Dou Forest."
Yang Fan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
'Do you think I'd lie to you?'
"You know the Titan Giant Ape, right?"
"It is the King of the Forest in Star Dou Forest. The powerful soul beast you mentioned is it."
Any formal academy on the Douluo Continent would have a class called: Soul Beast.
It was mainly to popularize knowledge about soul beast forests and soul beasts for Soul Masters receiving formal education.
Among them were records about the Titan Giant Ape!
Before this, Huo Wu had always thought the Titan Giant Ape was just a legend.
Until she went to Star Dou Forest this time...
"It's a mess!"
"Before we came, the entire outer perimeter of Star Dou Forest was in turmoil."
"Many Soul Masters who considered themselves powerful heard that a 100,000-year soul beast appeared in the soul beast forest and went in groups."
"But very few came back!"
"According to those who returned, there are many soul rings floating inside the forest."
Actually, Yang Fan had heard some rumors about this matter on the way to Tian Dou City a few days ago.
He just didn't expect it to have become so serious!
Looking at the expressions of Huo Wu and her brother Huo Wushuang, the Blazing Fire Academy had returned empty-handed this time.
If he wasn't mistaken, these guys hadn't dared to enter Star Dou Forest.
"How is it now?"
Yang Fan was still quite concerned about the current situation of the Titan Giant Ape, after all, this determined when he could enter Star Dou Forest again.
He was already a Soul King!
He believed that in the near future, he could obtain his fifth soul ring.
"It's said that the Titan Giant Ape has now returned to the depths of Star Dou Forest."
"As for whether it's true or false, no one knows!"
Yang Fan felt the news was likely reliable.
If the Titan Giant Ape continued to make trouble on the outskirts of the soul beast forest for a few more days, the Spirit Hall would probably join hands to obtain the soul ring.
Suddenly!
Huo Wu's gaze changed, and she smiled at Yang Fan.
"You finally came to our Blazing Fire Academy."
Huo Wu had always hoped Yang Fan could join the Blazing Fire Academy and participate in the next Soul Master Elite Tournament with them.
Of course!
It was also because the Blazing Fire Academy was really very suitable for Yang Fan.
"Let's go!"
"I'll show you around the Blazing Fire Academy."
Yang Fan said: "Big Sister, I've already been here for several days."
In his spare time while detoxifying Dugu Yan at the Blazing Fire Academy, he hadn't been idle either.
He had already been to most places in the Blazing Fire Academy.
Especially the Blazing Fire Academy's Simulation Training Environment, which was simply tailor-made for fire attribute Soul Masters.
"Let's go!"
"There are many places you definitely haven't been to."
That was true!
The girls' dormitory building was somewhere he had never ventured into.
Of course!
Huo Wu was definitely not going to lead a wolf into the room.
The place Huo Wu brought him to was still the Simulated Training Environment at the back mountain of the Blazing Fire Academy, but it was a place he hadn't discovered during his last visit.
Appearing before Yang Fan was an ancient hexagonal pavilion building.
The pavilion had seven stories!
The overall height was about fifty meters, surrounded layer by layer by towering trees.
No wonder he hadn't discovered this building when he entered the Blazing Fire Academy's Simulation Training Environment last time.
"This is the most mysterious place in our academy."
"The Blazing Fire Tower!"
"Doesn't it feel like nothing special looking from the outside?"
"Once you go inside, you'll know why I brought you to this place."
No!
Yang Fan did not agree with Huo Wu's statement.
He was just standing outside, yet his spiritual power seemed to have already touched the mystery inside.
Although he couldn't quite describe this feeling, there must be a reason for it to appear here.
"Come, I'll take you inside to have a look."
Yang Fan thought Huo Wu was quite awesome, however, when they were still fifty meters away from the Blazing Fire Tower, they were stopped by a thin and dry strange old man.
"Third Grandpa."
"Just let me in."
"I just want the new student to go in and have a look."
"..."
From Huo Wu's attitude and address, it was easy to see that this was an elder from her grandfather's generation.
However...
No matter what Huo Wu said, even to the point of kneeling and kowtowing, she couldn't move the old man half an inch.
This made Yang Fan even more curious!
What treasure was inside the Blazing Fire Tower that made an elder of the grandfather generation willing to stay here and guard it personally.
"Third Grandpa..."
Huo Wu whispered two sentences in the old man's ear.
Yang Fan didn't hear exactly what was said, nor did he use his spiritual power to deliberately eavesdrop.
But... the next second!
The old man known as Third Grandpa's face changed suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.
The old man said with a gloomy face: "Half an hour at most."
After some bargaining...
Yang Fan finally entered the mysterious Blazing Fire Tower.
The Simulation Training Environment outside the Blazing Fire Academy itself contained a heavy fire attribute, however, the moment he entered the Blazing Fire Tower, the temperature suddenly surged.
Yang Fan felt like he had entered a huge steamer.
Stuffy and hot!
This place seemed to be the center point of the entire Simulation Training Environment; all the fire attributes seemed to be radiating from within this Blazing Fire Tower.
The interior of the tower was the same fire-red theme as the Blazing Fire Academy.
Only after truly entering the Blazing Fire Tower did he discover that the interior was not the seven-story pagoda seen from the outside.
Spiraling downward, there was another space...
"Upstairs is the library of our Blazing Fire Academy. As long as a fire attribute martial soul has appeared on the Douluo Continent, you can find records of it here."
Huo Wu was not boasting!
The hundreds of years of history of the Blazing Fire Academy allowed them to collect the vast majority of recorded data regarding fire attribute martial souls.
Regarding the research of fire attribute martial souls on the Douluo Continent, probably only the Spirit Hall could compare with them.
"This is...?"
Coming to the first underground level.
Yang Fan was instantly attracted by the bright and dazzling red strange stones on the ground.
It was the first time he had seen such strange stones.
Like fire, like blood!
Every stone carried a violent fire attribute.
Yang Fan finally knew why it was so hot inside the Blazing Fire Tower.
