Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
During these two months, Xiao Feng attended classes during the day and practiced at night.
Although his practice time had decreased slightly compared to before, he had also gained a lot of knowledge about magical beasts and cultivation experience along the way.
Of course, his actual combat experience had increased significantly.
Although with Xiao Feng's current Dou Qi cultivation, he would be nearly exhausted after releasing a few Yellow Tier Dou Techniques.
But everyone was a freshman, and no one was much better than anyone else.
While Xiao Feng is practicing Dou Technique . Vice Head master Elder Hu Gan came to him .
Recalling Su Qian's previous instructions, Vice Principal Hu Gan flipped his hand and took out a crimson scroll from his storage ring.
As he spoke, he handed the scroll in his hand to Xiao Feng.
"This is the Profound High Level cultivation method, 'Crimson Flame Fire Canon'. Although its rank isn't considered very high, it has its unique aspects."
"With this cultivation method, combined with your cultivation talent, you should be able to reach the requirements for joining the Inner Academy faster."
Xiao Feng's two months in Cannon Academy hadn't been spent in vain.
Although he knew some things about the Inner Academy from reading the original work, he still didn't understand the finer details.
Therefore, in his spare time from cultivation, Xiao Feng occasionally asked Ge He for information about the Inner Academy.
Vice Principal Hu Gan's words didn't seem abrupt; he clearly had an understanding of Xiao Feng's daily life.
Looking at the crimson scroll before him, Xiao Feng's expression turned serious. He reached out to take it and said earnestly, "Xiao Feng will certainly not fail the Vice Dean's high expectations!"
He wasn't surprised that Vice Principal Hu Gan knew his Dou Qi attribute; after all, in front of a Dou Huang expert's Soul Power, probing the attribute of a mere Dou Practitioner was easy.
Seeing Xiao Feng take the scroll, a smile appeared on Vice Principal Hu Gan's face, and then he suddenly seemed to remember something.
"By the way, the Fire Elder of the Alchemy Department also cultivates this method. If you encounter anything you don't understand during your cultivation, you can go to the Alchemy Department to ask."
Thinking of the brilliant look on Old Man Huo's face when he saw Xiao Feng, Vice Principal Hu Gan's expression became somewhat peculiar.
'Fire Elder?'
Xiao Feng nodded, lost in thought. His Dou Qi attribute was fire with a hint of wood, giving him the talent of an Alchemist.
Perhaps Vice Principal Hu Gan had seen this and that's why he gave him the 'Crimson Flame Fire Canon', a Profound High Level cultivation method that the Alchemy Department's Fire Elder also practiced.
"Alright, now that you've just broken through to Dou Practitioner, you're likely eager to practice the cultivation method. Go back and cultivate first."
"If you encounter anything, you can come here to find me."
Vice Principal Hu Gan waved his hand, signaling that Xiao Feng could leave.
"Thank you, Vice Dean. This student will take his leave."
Xiao Feng bowed again, put the 'Crimson Flame Fire Canon' into his storage ring, and turned to leave the pavilion.
Vice Principal Hu Gan watched Xiao Feng's departing back, feeling some anticipation for the young man's future achievements.
Walking out of the ancient pavilion, Xiao Feng didn't linger on the road and went straight back to his single dormitory.
Closing the door, Xiao Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and a flash of heat and anticipation crossed his eyes.
Dou Practitioner is only the starting point of the path of cultivation, and the level of the Dou Qi cultivation method determines the height of future achievements!
A Profound High Level cultivation method, if placed in the Black-Corner Region, would be enough to cause a bloodbath.
Yet Vice Principal Hu Gan had given it to him so easily, showing Cannon Academy's deep foundation and the importance they placed on him.
'Coming to Cannon Academy was truly the right choice!'
Xiao Feng sighed inwardly. If he had stayed in the Xiao Family or chosen to go out and train on his own, he wouldn't have this Profound High Level cultivation method.
Shaking his head, he cast aside the complicated thoughts in his mind.
Xiao Feng flipped his palm, took the 'Crimson Flame Fire Canon' from his storage ring, placed it on his lap, and began to read.
"Crimson Flame Fire Canon, Profound High Level cultivation method. Initial practice is no different from ordinary Profound High Level methods."
"If the practitioner can find a high-level Beast Fire to refine and absorb, and follow the method's description to transform their Dou Qi into unique Beast Fire Dou Qi, their cultivation speed and Dou Qi power can rival top Profound High Level methods!"
"If the practitioner is blessed with great fortune and can successfully find and subdue a strange fire recorded on the strange fire ranking list, transforming their Dou Qi into unique strange fire Dou Qi, its power and cultivation speed can even be comparable to Profound Mid Level or even Profound Peak Level methods!"
After some time, Xiao Feng finished reading and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"What a genius idea!"
At first, when he heard Vice Principal Hu Gan describe the method's unique points, Xiao Feng hadn't thought much of it, thinking it was just a routine introduction.
Now that he had seen the full text, he couldn't help but marvel at the creator's talent and ingenuity.
Although it still couldn't compare to the 'Flame Mantra' which could merge strange fires to upgrade, its concept was enough to crush a multitude of Profound High Level methods!
Moreover, for others, strange fires were things that could be sought but not easily found, but for Xiao Feng, it was not so!
Once his cultivation became stronger, the Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert and the Sea Heart Flame in Han Feng's hands in Maple City would all be within his reach!
"Is this what it feels like to have know about future?"
The first Dou Qi transformation wouldn't take too long, so after just two hours, Xiao Feng, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the surging Dou Qi in his body, Xiao Feng extended his fair hand. The cyclone in his body, which had turned entirely deep yellow, quickly circulated a brownish-yellow Dou Qi that settled in the acupoint in his palm.
Xiao Feng could clearly perceive that the brownish-yellow Dou Qi flowing in his palm was not only several times thicker than when he had first broken through to Dou Practitioner, but its purity had also undergone a qualitative change!
Early the next morning, a ray of dawn light shone into the room through the window.
Xiao Feng woke up from his cultivation. Thinking back to what Hu Gan had said, he immediately planned to head to the Alchemy Department to visit the Fire Elder who had appeared in the original story.
At the same time, he wanted to see if he could join them and learn some alchemy.
After all, he also had an attribute of Fire with a hint of Wood, possessing the talent of an Alchemist. There was no reason for the Alchemy Department not to accept him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng stood up, straightened his robes, walked out the door, and headed toward the Alchemy Department with his short legs.
Meeting the curious gazes of the surrounding students along the way, Xiao Feng had long since grown accustomed to it. With an unchanged expression, he walked up to the building where the Alchemy Department was located.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing an Alchemist's robe walked out. When he saw the youthful Xiao Feng at the door, his eyes lit up; he clearly recognized Xiao Feng, the monster whose name had recently spread through the Outer Academy.
Stepping closer, the middle-aged man asked Xiao Feng in a friendly tone, "Little friend, do you have some business here at our Alchemy Department?"
Seeing how easygoing the middle-aged man was, Xiao Feng was a bit surprised. Weren't Alchemists said to be arrogant and eccentric?
Why did the person in front of him seem so easy to talk to?
Xiao Feng couldn't help but double-check the robes the middle-aged man was wearing.
That's right, they were indeed Alchemist robes. Could he have misunderstood?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xiao Feng nodded to the middle-aged man and replied, "Hello, Instructor. I'm here to find Fire Elder."
The middle-aged man looked surprised, seemingly not expecting that Xiao Feng had come to the Alchemy Department specifically to seek Fire Elder.
However, Fire Elder wasn't someone you could see just because you wanted to.
Just as he was about to refuse, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed. He was secretly shocked; he didn't expect Fire Elder to be paying such close attention to the Xiao Feng before him.
Thinking of the voice transmission he had just received, the middle-aged man nodded kindly to Xiao Feng. "Little friend, please follow me."
After saying that, he led Xiao Feng toward the top floor of the building.
Xiao Feng looked straight ahead and followed closely behind the middle-aged man.
He followed the middle-aged man all the way to the top floor and stopped outside a room.
The middle-aged man turned around and said to Xiao Feng with a smile:
"Little friend, Fire Elder's office is right here. You may enter on your own."
Xiao Feng bowed to the middle-aged man and thanked him, "Thank you, Instructor."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly waved his hand. "No need to thank me, little friend. It was Fire Elder who ordered me to bring you here."
It dawned on Xiao Feng; he was wondering why the middle-aged man, who initially looked like he was going to refuse, had suddenly agreed. It turned out he had received an order from Fire Elder.
It seemed this Fire Elder was paying some attention to him?
Xiao Feng speculated privately as he gently knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock!
"Come in!" A deep and gentle voice came from inside the room.
Nodding to the middle-aged man, Xiao Feng pushed the door open and entered.
Inside was an extremely spacious room with several rows of bookshelves against the walls and an old wooden desk placed in the middle.
An old man wearing red robes was standing in front of a bookshelf with his back to the door, holding a scroll and reading it carefully.
As Xiao Feng approached, a dense medicinal fragrance wafted over, making his spirits rise.
"Junior Xiao Feng greets Senior!"
Fire Elder placed the scroll back on the shelf and slowly turned around. A sharp light flashed in his eyes when they met Xiao Feng.
"Not bad. Did Hu Gan send you?"
As a Fifth-Grade Peak Alchemist, nothing around the Alchemy Department could escape his Soul Perception. Therefore, he had sensed Xiao Feng's arrival the moment he showed up.
Remembering his chat with Hu Gan yesterday, where the man had hinted for him to look after this kid, Fire Elder felt a bit curious.
He couldn't help but use his Soul Power to examine the Xiao Feng before him.
'Hiss!'
'Is this even human?'
Sensing the information his Soul Power had probed, Fire Elder began to doubt reality.
He finally understood why that fellow Hu Gan's gaze had been so strange when they spoke yesterday.
He only knew what Xiao Feng looked like; he didn't know the boy was such a monster!
A 10-year-old Dou Practitioner, a soul attribute of Fire with a hint of Wood, and such powerful soul strength—he was simply a natural-born seedling for becoming an Alchemist!
'That fellow Hu Gan! To have such a good seedling and not tell me sooner!'
Fire Elder complained in his heart.
As the only Fifth-Grade Peak Alchemist in Cannon Academy, many matters in the Alchemy Department required his personal attention, so he was usually very busy.
Furthermore, he needed to find a way to break through to become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.
Naturally, he hadn't known about Xiao Feng, the monster whose name had recently spread through the Outer Academy.
Looking at the youthful Xiao Feng before him, a wave of heat rose in Fire Elder's heart. He wished he could take him as a Personal Disciple right then and there!
