Blazing Academy.
After obtaining the soul ring, Yang Fan once again came to the academy where he had lived for three years.
He is very grateful to Blazing Academy!
Not only did it provide him with a training environment that lasted for three years, but it also allocated a lot of training resources to him because of Old Master Huo.
This night...it's quiet.
However, the Blazing Fire Tower in the simulated environment of the back mountain was very lively.
"What on earth did these little bastards do?"
Huo Bang looked at the flaming stone that had been shaken and had lost its original function.
Very angry!
However, with his hot temper, he could not go to the students to settle accounts, so he could only vent his emotions through such angry curses.
Not just hot!
Mr. Huo, who had always been gentle, now had a rare look of solemnity on his face.
The Blazing Stone is too important to the Huo Family and the Blazing Academy.
without any exaggeration……
The blazing fire stone is the cornerstone of the entire Huo family!
at this time……
Old Master Huo took out a bucket of blood from the storage soul guide and poured it on it. However, the cracked blazing stone no longer gave off its original luster.
"I've already tried that...it doesn't work!"
"I really don't know how these little bastards made such a hard blazing stone look like this."
If it’s just one piece, that’s it!
But at this time, there were more than a dozen flaming stones in the Blazing Fire Tower that all had cracks, which had completely affected the concentration of the fire attribute aura in the Blazing Fire Tower and the training effect on the soul master.
"Perhaps their lifespan has expired."
"The Blazing Tower is temporarily closed!"
"The three of us will go together tomorrow."
Huo Bang and another old man looked at Old Man Huo with a hint of fear in their eyes.
"But……"
"Nothing to be desired!"
"I still have the final say in this family."
"For the Huo family, we have to go!"
Mr. Huo's unquestionable tone made Huo Bao nod in agreement.
……
at this time……
Everything that happened in the Blazing Tower had been fully seen by Yang Fan, who was lurking in the dark.
Three years of investigation gave him a certain understanding of the secrets of the Firestone.
Blazing Fire Stone needs to drink blood!
When he first discovered this secret, he was shocked, and it also made him have a guess in his mind.
Bloodthirsty, killing, violent, fiery...
The fusion of these elements all pointed to a place within him.
Killing capital!
Only the Killing City can satisfy all his guesses.
Is there really a blazing stone in the Killing City?
He wanted to continue investigating, but the Huo family's secret blockade of the Blazing Tower was so airtight that he could not find any loopholes.
After returning from the Star Dou Forest this time, he thought of using animal fire to calcine them to see who these flaming stones were, and then something unpleasant happened.
Yang Fan felt very guilty inside!
"Silly boy."
"Don't think so much."
"Listening to the conversation between these three people just now, they must be preparing to set off to the source of the Blazing Stone tomorrow."
"We'll follow up tomorrow, maybe we can help them."
Yao Lao can only comfort Yang Fan like this now.
But it has to be said!
Although the ending of the animal fire calcination was not very good, it also allowed them to make progress by mistake, right?
If nothing unexpected happens, they can follow Old Master Huo to find the source of the Blazing Stone.
……
really!
The next day, Yang Fan followed him all the way and followed Mr. Huo and others to an unknown forest.
Walking through a tangle of bushes...
Mr. Huo stood in front of a rock wall that was [-] degrees vertical.
He slapped his palm outward hard, and the rock shattered, revealing a dark hole.
The hole is not big and looks down diagonally at an angle close to 45°.
After Yang Fan went in, he discovered that the inside was not as narrow as it looked from the outside, and he even felt obviously burning.
You know...this is very abnormal!
Yang Fan lived in many caves during the time he lived in the Soul Beast Forest.
Some are made by animals, and some are made by nature.
But no matter what kind of cave it is, the first feeling after entering should be damp and cold.
But it was precisely because of this abnormal phenomenon that Yang Fan became even more excited.
The cave is very long and stretches all the way down.
Deeper and deeper...
Yang Fan clearly felt that the hot atmosphere had become stronger, and the space in the cave was getting larger and larger.
Before, it was just two people walking side by side. Now the cave is four to five meters wide and the height has exceeded ten meters.
……
After about two hours...
The three people in front of Mr. Huo stopped in a pool of water.
Do not!
That's not a pool!
To be precise, it should be thick magma, and the hot smell in the cave comes from this magma. You can even feel a strong and disgusting smell of blood in this magma.
There was a rare seriousness on Old Man Huo's face.
The ancestors of the Huo family discovered this cave 200 years ago and found blazing stones in the cave suitable for the training of fire attribute soul masters.
From that time on, the Blazing Fire Stone became the cornerstone of the Huo Family, and made the Blazing Fire Academy founded by the Huo Family famous on the Douluo Continent.
but!
Although the ancestors of the Huo family passed down the secret of the Blazing Stone from generation to generation, they repeatedly ordered them not to set foot in this cave.
Just because the ancestor of the Huo family paid for it with his two arms after getting the Blazing Stone.
Mr. Huo had no other choice but to disobey his ancestors' warnings!
Because the Blazing Stone is so important to the Huo family!
Once the auxiliary training of Blazing Fire Stone is lost, the future of the Huo family and the future of Blazing Fire Academy may be affected.
According to the secrets passed down by the ancestors of the Huo family and the map drawn, the blazing stone is under the hot magma.
Old Master Huo had just taken a step forward, but Huo Bo had already blocked him in front.
"Grandpa, I'm coming!"
The ancestors of the Huo family brought the blazing stone back to the family at the cost of both arms, which already explained the danger below.
"Stinky boy."
"It's not your turn to be the master here."
After all, Old Master Huo is a level 84 Contra.
If he goes down, he might still have a chance to escape unscathed, but his popularity as a Soul Saint may never come back.
"You are now the leader of the Huo family, and the future of the Huo family is now in your hands."
Mr. Huo rarely acted tough in his life, but at this moment, he had an attitude that Huo Bao could not refuse.
He had already thought about it before he came!
He is responsible for going down to find the flaming stone!
If he couldn't escape unscathed, then Huobang would bring these stones back to the family and let the Blazing Stones assist the Huo family for another hundred years.
at this time……
Mr. Huo took out a snow-white elixir.
He smiled happily!
This elixir was refined by Yang Fan.
Yang Fan insisted on giving him a pill, but he chose an ice-type pill that he thought was the most useless as a souvenir.
did not expect……
The pill that he thought was most useless to him actually came in handy.
Sail boy!
I hope your elixir can bring my great-grandfather back safely.
Old Master Huo looked at the elixir in his palm and smiled again, and slowly took the elixir while smiling.
"This old man is not stupid." Yao Lao's voice rose in Yang Fan's heart.
If the old man was so heartbroken, he would not be much better even if he could come back.
But after taking that Ice and Snow Pill, it was completely different...
Yang Fan thinks so too!
And the moment he saw Mr. Huo taking the Ice and Snow Pill, he felt a wave of emotion in his heart.
After all, it is a fifth-grade elixir!
And that Ice and Snow Pill was the testimony that he became a fifth-grade alchemist.
then……
He had just successfully refined a fifth-grade elixir, and on a whim, he planned to give Old Master Huo an elixir.
Who would have thought that this old man wouldn’t be polite either!
Although he felt a pain in his body at the time, he felt very relieved after seeing Old Master Huo take the fifth-grade elixir.
……
as predicted!
In less than half an hour, Mr. Huo had climbed out of the magma.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
Old Master Huo laughed!
Smiling very heartily!
"go back!"
this moment.
His heart was extremely happy.
Not only because he got the blazing stone he wanted for this trip under the magma, but he was also excited because of the ice and snow pill presented by Yang Fan.
Don't deceive me!
He has always firmly believed that 'alchemy can change soul masters'.
Today, he finally realized the power of the elixir.
Old Master Huo left the cave happily, while Yang Fan quietly walked out of the darkness on the other side of the cave.
"Master, let's go down!"
at this time……
A pill that was exactly the same as what Old Man Huo had just taken appeared in Yang Fan's palm.
Ice and Snow Pill!
Yao Lao once said: Never have too many elixirs, because you never know when they will come in handy.
like now!
With Old Master Huo as a swift scout exploring the way, Yang Fan had nothing to worry about at this time.
Yang Fan swallowed the pill and then jumped into the hot magma.
There may still be a certain gap between his strength and Old Master Huo, but in terms of soul power and physical strength.
Then Yang Fan could only smile and say sorry!
Deep into the lava...
The feeling of being blinded by the hot breath under the eyes of ice and fire appeared again.
However, there is no rage under Binghuo Liangyi's eyes, and he is no longer the immature boy he was three years ago.
From the top, it looks like a magma chamber, but after diving down, there is a completely different world.
About 5 minutes later, Yang Fan saw the legendary blazing stone.
These flaming stones are all embedded in the rock walls filled with magma.
There are also fresh marks left by Old Master Huo on the rock wall!
Different from the blazing stone in the blazing tower!
The flame breath here was so violent that Yang Fan felt that his mentality was affected.
To know……
The fire-attribute aura in the Blazing Fire Tower had no effect on his emotions.
Yang Fan looked at the flaming stones on the rock wall...
this moment!
He finally understood how the Blazing Stone was formed.
It is these magma with rich fire properties that finally form extremely hard stone after years, even hundreds, or tens of thousands of years of precipitation.
"Master, did you notice anything?"
Yang Fan's soul power is now powerful enough to use it to communicate spiritually with Yao Lao.
however……
Even the soul power that he was so proud of could only allow him to discover the blazing stone below.
"Move forward!"
Although Yao Lao is currently unable to explain the following situation clearly, it is impossible for this place to be like the Blazing Fire Tower.
Following Yao Lao's guidance, Yang Fan moved forward.
But at this moment...
A powerful blazing vortex swept around him.
The energy generated by the huge vortex was so terrifying that Yang Fan was unable to stabilize his body in this sudden vortex.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Fan felt himself being knocked dozens of meters away by a powerful thrust.
He was stunned!
His head was dizzy, and even after standing up, he found that he was in a strange environment.
Although the fire attribute atmosphere here has weakened a lot, the killing and blood surrounding it are truly something he has never been exposed to before.
The aura full of hostility made his brows furrow and his stomach churn.
Yang Fan thought that he had developed a will of steel in the spirit fighting arena, but he still overestimated himself.
"Murder City?"
Yang Fan tried to release his soul skills.
He failed!
He was now very sure that he had arrived at the Slaughter City, and he had arrived inside the Slaughter City in a daze.
Just as he had guessed before, the Blazing Fire Stone was indeed closely related to the City of Killing.
"Master."
"Is there anything we need here?"
Yang Fan finally received Yao Lao's answer after waiting for a while.
"not simple!"
"I didn't expect that there is such a strange place underneath Douluo Continent."
Killing, dark and bloody!
The world they suddenly broke into was like hell.
"Master."
"Is there anything we want here?"
Yang Fan asked again.
"It's not good to say!"
"This place is too weird. My soul power seems to be severely suppressed here."
Yang Fan also noticed this later.
He thought this might be the reason why the Shura God's throne caused the entire city of killing.
"They come, the security!"
"How will we know if we have what we want if we don't look for it?"
Yang Fan has this intention!
Six years of experience have taught him that good things are often buried deep underground.
This is the capital of killing after all!
It is where the Shura God's throne exists and where the Killing God Domain is obtained.
Taking a step back...
He has now arrived at the Killing City in a daze. Even if he wants to get out, it is not that easy.
The original work mentioned...
If you want to get out in the Killing City, you must obtain the title of Killing God, and if you want to obtain the title of Killing God, you must win hundreds of games in a row in the Killing City.
This time!
A cold murderous intent suddenly hit him from behind.
Yang Fan turned around in an instant, and the flames rising from his palm instantly reduced the sneak attacker to ashes.
It is true that soul skills cannot be used in the Killing City, but here there is no suppression of fighting spirit, fighting skills, and animal fire.
For Yang Fan, who majors in fighting spirit, this is not a weakening, but a disguised strengthening.
He picked up the number plate of the attacker just now, and the number 2233 was clearly written on it.
Yang Fan knows...
Next, he will change his identity in the Killing City.

Blazing Academy.
After obtaining the soul ring, Yang Fan once again came to the academy where he had lived for three years.
He is very grateful to Blazing Academy!
Not only did it provide him with a training environment that lasted for three years, but it also allocated a lot of training resources to him because of Old Master Huo.

He has always firmly believed that 'alchemy can change soul masters'.
