Chapter 175: Water Mandala

Ruo Lin lowered her head to look at her exposed snow-white arm, then looked at Xiao Yan, her breathing suddenly becoming heavy.

Xiao Yan had actually dared to make her lose face in public. Although she knew Xiao Yan must have held back and not used his full strength, otherwise it would not have been just her sleeve that was torn.

Sensing Instructor Ruo Lin's somewhat unkind gaze, Xiao Yan could only smile helplessly. He had indeed been a bit too excited just now and had not controlled his strength well.

"Good! Good! Very good!" Ruo Lin said "good" three times to Xiao Yan, appearing as if she were truly praising him.

However, those who understood Instructor Ruo Lin knew that she was truly angry.

"It's over! The instructor is really angry now!" The students of Jia Nan Academy retreated a few steps, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

After the white mist dissipated, Xiao Yan was seen lying on the ground, his clothes tattered and his hair disheveled, looking utterly wretched.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, gave a bitter smile, and explained, "I really have things I must do, which is why I need to go out and train again."

Other onlookers, seeing the terrifying aura emitted by the water snake, also retreated rapidly. If one were accidentally caught in it, they would either be dead or severely injured!

Under Ruo Lin's control, the water snake in the sky roared once more, then, with terrifying momentum, lunged down at Xiao Yan, covering the sky and earth.

If Xiao Yan left, it would be another year or more. Xun Er really did not want to be separated from Xiao Yan.

The massive water snake swooped down at Xiao Yan, the immense wind pressure causing Xiao Yan's clothes to snap loudly.

Seeing Xiao Yan acting as if nothing had happened, Ruo Lin shook her head helplessly and nodded in agreement. She also realized that it was indeed a waste of time for Xiao Yan to go to Jia Nan Academy now; the Outer Academy really could not teach him anything, and only the Inner Academy was suitable for a genius like Xiao Yan.

"Sigh! Women! They are just so easily swayed by emotion." Xiao Yan looked at the rapidly approaching giant water snake and shook his head helplessly.

"Whatever Brother Xiao Yan needs, just tell Xun Er. Whether it is Dou Techniques, Cultivation Methods, cultivation resources, or medicinal herbs, as long as Brother Xiao Yan speaks, Xun Er can get them for you. Why must you go out to train?" Xun Er stood up and said, somewhat indignantly.

"Do you have this fragment of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame map?" Xiao Yan gently stroked his storage ring and took out the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame map fragment from within.

But Xiao Yan was going out to search for Exotic Fires. Could he tell Xun Er that he wanted to devour Exotic Fires? Xun Er would be worried to death.

"Then I will go change my clothes." A smile curled the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth, and he left the square, walking toward his room.

Seeing Xiao Yan leave, Xun Er and the Little Doctor Fairy followed him, walking toward Xiao Yan's room.

Ruo Lin gripped the giant snake mouth at the handle of her blue long whip, a curve forming at the corner of her mouth, then mobilized the Dou Qi in her body, injecting it crazily into the long whip before it surged out.

The water snake let out a roar toward the sky, and massive water droplets fell continuously from the surface of its body.

"Heavens! Instructor Ruo Lin is really furious! When the instructor used it in the academy, the water snake was only seven or eight meters long, but now it has more than doubled in size!" Seeing the massive water snake, the Jia Nan Academy students retreated rapidly again.

"Hmph! Let's see if you still ask for leave!" From the 'Snow Drifting in the Human World' that Xiao Yan had used, Ruo Lin sensed that Xiao Yan's physical strength was terrifying, which was why she felt confident enough to use her full strength.

The vast blue energy, like a waterfall, surged endlessly in the air. In just a moment, it condensed into a giant water snake over ten meters long.

"Yu'er! Carry him down to recover from his injuries!" Ruo Lin turned her head and instructed Xiao Yu.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Yan saw Xun Er and the Little Doctor Fairy sitting there with their heads lowered, not speaking.

Hearing Xun Er's words, Xiao Yan felt both a headache and a sense of guilt.

Ruo Lin reached out her hand, and the long whip on the ground immediately fell into her grasp.

However, turning to look at Xun Er and then at the Little Doctor Fairy, his footsteps stopped abruptly.

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea. He said to Xun Er, "Xun Er, the things I need, you might really not be able to get."

"Aiya! Instructor Ruo Lin is truly too strong! I am convinced! But it seems like a hundred moves have long since passed, right!" Xiao Yan climbed up from the ground, shook his body vigorously to shake off the water stains, picked his ear, and looked at Instructor Ruo Lin.

"Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame map fragment?" Xun Er was slightly startled. She took the fragment from Xiao Yan's hand and began to examine it carefully.

"Xuan Tier Intermediate Dou Technique: Water Mandala!"

"It really is the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame map fragment. Where did Brother Xiao Yan get it?" After Xun Er probed it with her Soul Perception, she discovered that the fragment indeed bore the mark of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, and there were faint soul fluctuations on it. She immediately asked Xiao Yan.

"Boom!" The giant water snake struck Xiao Yan directly, causing the ground of the entire square to tremble violently, and water splashed in all directions like a flood.

"Hmph! I knew you were hiding things from me and had gotten quite a few good items." The Little Doctor Fairy gave a light huff and glared fiercely at Xiao Yan.

Seeing Xiao Yan lying on the ground with his clothes in disarray, Xiao Yu thought Xiao Yan had really been injured by Ruo Lin and wanted to run over to help him.

Although the Little Doctor Fairy did not know what the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was, seeing Xun Er's reaction, she knew it was not simple, so she also began to examine it.

However, turning to look at Xun Er and then at the Little Doctor Fairy, his footsteps stopped abruptly.

But what Xiao Yu found strange was that both the Little Doctor Fairy and Xiao Xun'er were standing there honestly without making any moves, which she found odd.

White mist filled the air, and the entire square was shrouded in a vast expanse of white fog.

"Hehe, this was obtained in that cave in Qingshan Town." Xiao Yan looked at the Little Doctor Fairy and said somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing Xiao Yan lying on the ground with his clothes in disarray, Xiao Yu thought Xiao Yan had really been injured by Ruo Lin and wanted to run over to help him.

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yan, tell me. If Xun Er really cannot get it, then what if I let Brother Xiao Yan go out to train?" Xun Er smiled lightly. She really did not know what existed under heaven that her clan did not have.

"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is the third-ranked Exotic Fire. It appears as a milky-white fire lotus and is a mysterious flame that can purify all things. It has the special effect of purifying everything. Anything that touches even a tiny bit of it will be purified into nothingness. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame can even use a person's emotions as a guide to enter their body, purifying their flesh, soul, and Dou Qi into nothingness. Its power is extremely terrifying. There are only a few such Exotic Fires in the world," Xun Er spoke eloquently.

With Xun Er's knowledge, she naturally knew what the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was. After all, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was a level higher than the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, the inherited Exotic Fire of their Gu Clan.
