Chapter 90

Canaan Academy, as one of the renowned higher institutions on the Dou Qi Continent, not only possesses a large amount of materials needed for cultivation, but also imposes few restrictions after graduation.

Thus, every year a large number of cultivation geniuses flock here.

Even including some disciples from families with considerable influence.

However, such an academy is actually located in the famous chaotic region of the Northwest Continent, the center of Heijiaoyu.

Because Canaan Academy has many students, to provide enough accommodation, they also built Canaan City around the academy's outskirts.

But Heijiaoyu is too chaotic; to prevent troublemakers with ulterior motives from entering and causing disorder, they also built a ring of Peace Town outside Canaan City.

Such continual expansion also caused other forces in Heijiaoyu to be extremely dissatisfied with Canaan Academy.

Finally, the two sides erupted in a bloody battle, the exact outcome unknown to outsiders.

It is only known that after that bloodbath, the corpses of two Dou Wang and one Dou Huang expert were hung, by a nearly cruel method, on a tree at the gate of Peace Town.

Afterward, that large tree came to be called the Spirit Tree by everyone.

He can produce items worth seven-digit gold coins at a moment's notice.

He didn't pay much attention to that strange fluctuation with a testing vibe.

Gazing at the sleeping Xiao Cai in his hand, Lin Feng finally let out a sigh of relief.

Speaking, he secretly passed over a jade bottle.

He remembered that this place was Mo Tianxing's turf.

The middle-aged man, seeing the quality of the jade bottle, guessed the contents were certainly valuable, but after hesitating a moment, still refused Lin Feng.

At this moment, those dozen or so young people were watching Lin Feng with wary and slightly rejecting gazes.

After a moment's thought, realizing that the Jia Ma Empire also falls within the academy's recruitment range, he then said: "I recall your hometown is also within our academy's recruitment area; you should return to your hometown and wait until next year's enrollment, when you can register. However, since you have entered Heijiaoyu, upon enrollment you must still guarantee that you have not joined any Heijiaoyu faction."

After all, even without the Flame Mantra, he can always absorb some kind of strange fire.

"No, the academy's rules are like that; I cannot violate them either."

But thinking of the terrifying side effects of the Life-Devouring Pill, he again felt some hesitation.

Just as he arrived at the town gate, his gaze was drawn to a large tree not far to the left of the town gate.

Seeing no one around, he summoned the Purple Cloud Wings and flew toward Heihuang City.

Having taken just a few steps, shadows suddenly appeared on the rooftops of the town's houses.

Having spoken, the middle-aged man pushed Lin Feng's hand back.

A light breeze blew, causing it to sway and creak with a sound that sent chills down the spine.

"Whoosh~"

They were leaping like monkeys, agilely flashing toward the town gate.

Moreover, he still had some thoughts about the Falling Heart Flame inside Canaan Academy.

Lin Feng was about to ask the middle-aged man before him to invite Huo Zhanglao, when he again produced a strange fire, making his guarantee of admission part of the transaction.

That guy is a four-star Dou Zong, and in this Heijiaoyu he is also among the top experts.

Even if there are occasional disturbances, the troublemakers will, within less than an hour, become corpses impaled on the Spirit Tree...

"No, if you want to meet our academy's Elders, you must negotiate yourself; if you don't know them, just follow what I said."

"Kid, there are too many experts at Canaan Academy; I'm heading back first—remember our agreement."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng was instantly stunned, his heart in turmoil, fearing he might not be able to enter Canaan Academy.

Here, the chaotic atmosphere of Heijiaoyu is actually completely cut off.

Although there is a hint of wariness hidden in his eyes, he does not show much fright or similar reaction.

On a hillside, Medusa, seeing that Canaan Academy was not far away, said to Lin Feng:

Lin Feng believed in his heart that as long as he could meet those Elders, he had plenty of things in hand to sway them.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, then headed down the slope.

Lin Feng thought that if he had Dou Wang-level strength and invited Medusa to help, he might be able to obtain the Falling Heart Flame.

Anyway, he is not short of money now; as long as he can use money or offset with magic cores, battle techniques, etc.

The tree is pitch black, its crown spreading in all directions, baring fangs and claws; in the afterglow of the setting sun, it exudes a faint chill.

After all, the more prosperous a place, the easier it is to see high-end items.

With a flash of colored light, it turned back into a small snake that fell into the other's hand.

After pondering a while, Lin Feng decided not to produce the strange fire for now, and immediately said: "I don't know if senior could help me meet your academy's Elders; perhaps I could persuade them to act as guarantors."

"Go back; I'm just an ordinary instructor and don't even know where the Elders are."

This tranquil, harmonious atmosphere is almost a completely different expression from that of Heijiaoyu.

Along both sides of the street are various small stalls, with some kids shuttlecocking, playing and laughing on the street.

But then he thought that he currently has no acquaintance with Huo Zhanglao, nor is he a student of Canaan Academy.

The three large characters "Peace Town" above are quite ordinary and vulgar; if placed in Heijiaoyu, they would surely be torn down the next day.

Following this yellow-earth road lined with lush trees on both sides, he slowly approached the small town.

Walking through the mountains and forests, thinking that in about half a year it will be Xiao Yan's three-year agreement, Lin Feng felt a headache.

"Then let's go to Heihuang City; it should be considerably stronger than the previous Heijiaoyu edge's Heiyin City."

Upon hearing that, the middle-aged man glanced up and down at Lin Feng, then said: "Our Canaan Academy does not accept people from Heijiaoyu unless you can find one of our Elders to vouch for you, and you must also guarantee that you have not joined any Heijiaoyu faction."

However, here those passing bandits dare not voice any opinion at all.

Naturally, the pedestrians on the street also noticed Lin Feng walking in from the town gate.

About ten minutes later, Lin Feng stopped at the town gate and glanced up at the plaque there.

"Well..."

"This is troublesome; I didn't expect Canaan Academy not to recruit people from Heijiaoyu."

Lin Feng glanced around, felt nothing different, and walked into the town with little interest.

Moments later, more than a dozen figures appeared at the town gate.

Why not take the Life-Devouring Pill now?

Moreover, after that, the area around Canaan Academy fell into a tranquil zone isolated from the outside world.

That time was his only chance to obtain the Falling Heart Flame.

Why not first go to Heijiaoyu to look? If we can find a heavenly treasure that extends lifespan, prolonging life by three or four years, I would have some confidence.

Lin Feng searched for a long time, and upon seeing that name, he couldn't help but be startled.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to the middle-aged person: "Senior, could you make an exception? I can guarantee I haven't joined any faction of Heijiaoyu; if I'm lying, let the academy deal with me."

Thinking of the dozens of bandits he had killed along the way, Lin Feng murmured softly.

His gaze slowly swept over the tree, and he saw that some corpses were directly pierced and hung between the branches.

Hearing the middle-aged person's words, Lin Feng stepped forward, clasped his hands slightly, and said: "My name is Lin Feng; I've come from the Jia Ma Empire, and I wish to join your academy."

Lin Feng raised his head to look at the town's street; there were many pedestrians on the street.

His eyes swept over those more than a dozen figures, and Lin Feng noticed that aside from the leading middle-aged person.

The meaning was already clear; as long as he could tell him, that pill would be the reward.

Black Emperor City.

His gaze swept over Lin Feng; one of the leading middle-aged persons said lightly: "Anyone entering Ping'an Town must report their identity, name, etc.; otherwise, they will be directly expelled."

The middle-aged person glanced at Lin Feng and said lightly.

He casually glanced at Lin Feng, who was looking at them, and said coldly: "Don't worry, this isn't any poison; it's just a pill that senses killing intent. If you harbor murderous intent inside the town, the pill will emit red light within your body, and our enforcement squad will follow the light to find you. Afterwards, you'll be left as fertilizer under the death spirit tree. Of course, when you leave the town, you can obtain the antidote at the town center's distribution point, but once you have the antidote, the enforcement squad will monitor you all the way out of town."

Then I'll take my leave.

And Han Feng would go to Canaan Academy at that time to seize the strange fire.

He muttered inwardly, Lin Feng noted the route, then put away the map.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately took out the map, searching for the nearest most prosperous city.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe this is the central region of Heijiaoyu...

Is this the death spirit tree...

After trying various methods to no avail, Lin Feng could only sigh disappointedly and then turn and leave.

I don't know where I should go to meet an elder of your academy.

If nothing changes, in a year and a half the Falling Heart Flame will break out of the tower.

The middle-aged person waved his hand, and a bottle of light-red pill appeared in his hand.

Although having Medusa accompany him on the journey these past few days made it not so boring, her temper also made him feel uneasy.

Turning his head toward the angle between the two distant majestic mountains, a faintly visible small town appeared.

Moreover, after reporting your names and identities, please take this pill.

Wanting to rise from Dou Wang to Dou Huang within three years is extremely difficult.

These young people uniformly wore light-blue clothing; they appeared to be students training with the enforcement squad.

Among the other more than a dozen, there were both men and women, but all were quite young, looking about twenty-two or twenty-three.

Who knows if Elder Huo will kill this person coming from Heijiaoyu and then take the strange fire.

Otherwise, after Xiao Yan takes the strange fire, if he tries to retrieve it later, it will be extremely difficult.

Otherwise, he wouldn't think of trading away the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

Unless his strength can grow to a terrifying level, and then forcibly suppress.

That would greatly affect his plan.

As Lin Feng's steps just crossed the town gate, he sensed a strange wave sweeping over his body.

Lin Feng continued to inquire, and the jade bottle in his hand had not yet been taken back.

Thereafter, no strong person from Heijiaoyu dared to carry a murderous look and break into these towns.
