Chu Lin's challenge to Gu Xuan was undoubtedly the focus of the entire elite student area. However, what disappointed everyone was that even after three days of Chu Lin's challenge, there was still no response from Gu Xuan. He didn't even take a step out of his loft. This action caused everyone to despise Gu Xuan to the extreme.
Chu Lin was only ranked 131st, and was basically at the bottom. There weren't many people weaker than Chu Lin.
Generally, those who could rank in the top 100 were all experts of the 9 star mystic rank. Those in the top 50 were basically peak mystic rank experts. Those in the top 20 were close to the supreme rank. As for those at the very top, they already had the strength to challenge supreme ranks.
131st, a weakling of the 9 star mystic rank.
Even if their strength wasn't enough, when faced with a challenge, as long as they were arrogant geniuses, which one of them wouldn't step forward? At the very least, they would take the initiative to admit defeat and hand over their ranking. Avoiding a challenge was the most despicable action.
However, as a martial artist, there would always be times when they cultivated. Going into seclusion for three to five days was a common occurrence. Thus, most people were still in a wait-and-see state.
On the tenth day, when Gu Xuan still hadn't made a move, the elite students were already hissing at him. The dignified number one of the new students, a genius who directly entered the ranks of the elite students, was actually afraid of fighting with the last ranked elite student. It was truly despicable. Even Ye Cang, who had been provoked by Gu Xuan, had lost interest in fighting him.
Even someone ranked 131st didn't dare to fight. In Ye Cang's eyes, Gu Xuan's arrogance was probably because he thought he had nothing to fear. In reality, he was just a piece of trash. As for him, ranked 17th, fighting a piece of trash was simply beneath his status.
All of the elite students accepted a challenge at least once a month. Even if Gu Xuan avoided a challenge, it would only be a month of peace. At the end of the month, if Gu Xuan still avoided a challenge, it would be equivalent to admitting defeat.
On the 15th day, the entire Heavenly Court had completely forgotten about Gu Xuan. On the contrary, Sun Leng, who had also just been promoted to elite student, took the initiative to attack. He consecutively defeated the 125th and 104th ranked elite students, causing quite a stir in the Heavenly Court.
In comparison, Gu Xuan's performance was somewhat disappointing. Aside from being placed at the fifty-third position, there was nothing special about him.
On the 21st day, the entire Heaven Court had already recovered from the excitement of the newcomers. Occasionally, there would be a few challenges, but it did not matter much. None of the geniuses in the top 30 of the Mountain River List fought, and the few lower ranked students did not attract much attention.
Gu Xuan, who was seated within the number 53 pavilion, finally opened his eyes at this moment.
"Crackle!"
Gu Xuan moved his body, and his joints immediately emitted a crackling sound like frying beans.
"Hu!" Gu Xuan let out a long breath and smiled bitterly, "It took me over twenty days. It looks like refining the Beast Flame is not as easy as I thought."
He closed his eyes again and used his soul force to look inside himself. In his Dantian, the Icy Soul Frigid Flame was a bit bigger than before, but it lacked some spirituality because Yun Xi had already fallen into a deep sleep.
But the deep sleep this time was different from before. It was not that her soul force was exhausted, but that she had absorbed too much of the Origin Source, and needed a period of time to refine it.
Upon closer inspection, the originally bone white flame actually had a thread of demonic blood red color, causing the Icy Soul Frigid Flame to have a bit of bloodthirstiness.
This thread of blood red was naturally the Scarlet Blood Dark Wolf's Origin Source. This time, after swallowing the Beast Flame, it actually left behind a thread of the Beast Flame Origin Source, which was out of Gu Xuan and Yun Xi's expectations.
"Refining too much of the Beast Flame actually caused the Flame Origin Source to reject it. If this were to spread out, I'm afraid no one would believe it."
Gu Xuan laughed, feeling somewhat helpless. In the past twenty days of refining, everything was normal at the start. After absorbing the first thread of Beast Flame, Gu Xuan successfully reached the peak of the Profound Grade Four Star, and his Flame Origin Source had also reached the level of Mortal Grade First Class.
However, from the second thread of Beast Flame onwards, there was a strange change. That thread of Beast Flame could no longer be completely absorbed. The Flame Origin Source would automatically reject it, but it was not very obvious. Gu Xuan had successfully advanced to the Profound Grade Five Star, and his Flame Origin Source had also reached the limit of Mortal Grade Second Class.
When it came to the third thread of Beast Flame, the rejection was even stronger. Furthermore, it left behind a thread of Beast Flame's Origin Source, which could not be removed. Its effect was only half of that of the first thread of Beast Flame.
As soon as the fourth strand of Beast Flame appeared, it was strongly rejected by the Origin Flame. Not only did it not increase Gu Xuan's strength, but it even showed signs of exploding. Fortunately, Yun Xi hurriedly scattered it, so it did not cause any danger.
After this series of events, Gu Xuan somewhat understood that although the Heavenly Flame was strong, it was not without limits. Furthermore, refining many Beast Flames would also be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
"This thread of Scarlet Blood Dark Wolf's Beast Flame will dissipate soon. However, it seems that I will not be able to continue refining other Beast Flames."
Gu Xuan opened his eyes and started thinking.
When he was refining the fourth thread of Beast Flame, he clearly felt the suppression of the Heavenly Dao. Even if he tried again, the result would probably be the same.
Ordinary people could only refine one type of Beast Flame. Gu Xuan used the Heavenly Flame as his Origin Source, so he could refine many types of Beast Flames. However, this kind of thing went against common sense. Even the Heavenly Dao would not allow Gu Xuan to try it recklessly.
Otherwise, when Gu Xuan stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm, he would be able to kill Rank 7 Flame Beasts at will. There would be no need for him to cultivate at all. He could just refine the Beast Flame directly.
Gu Xuan was somewhat disappointed about this, but he did not care too much about it. Given his situation, even if he could not refine the Beast Flame, he could continue to consume medicinal pills. His cultivation speed would not slow down by much. The main purpose of consuming Beast Flames was to improve the quality of his flames.
Right now, his Flame Origin Source was already very close to Rank 1 Human Realm. In a few months, when the Scarlet Blood Dark Wolf's Beast Flame dissipated, Gu Xuan's Flame Origin Source would naturally reach Rank 1 Human Realm. If he had a Rank 4 Heaven Mending Pill, he would be able to break through directly.
Once he reached Rank 1 Human Realm, he would be able to refine Earth Flames. The Beast Flame's effect would be next to nothing.
"Eh? What's this? "
Gu Xuan felt that his token was a little hot. He took it out and saw a few large words appear on the back of the token: "Challenger, Rank 131, Chu Lin."
"Someone wants to challenge me?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled. According to the method Liu Yue 'er had taught him, he used his finger to touch the token. He poured his Flame Origin Source into the token and the words immediately disappeared.
"I just broke through. It's not bad to have someone to play with. Rank 131, I wonder how strong he is."
