Chapter 72 : . Entering the Tower

The Gate of Transmigration was thus established.

Xiao Han, however, felt no difference from when she had been acting alone.

After all, the news of a high-level Dou Spirit among the new students subduing sixteen eight-star Dou Great Master with one move had already spread throughout the Inner Court. Those factions unable to recruit fresh blood due to the new students forming their own group had to suppress their dissatisfaction. A high-level Dou Spirit, even in this Inner Court, was a top-tier existence. As a result, since the establishment of the Gate of Transmigration, no one had come to cause trouble.

Other matters were handled by Gu Xun'er, Hu Jia, and Xiao Mei. She, as the faction leader, was truly unqualified.

While thinking, she looked at the crystal card in her hand, considering whether to take Gu Xun'er to the Qi Refining Tower in the afternoon.

Just then, Xiao Han's peripheral vision caught two figures entering through the door. She looked up to see Hun Jin, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, with Xiao Mei beside her.

Seeing Xiao Mei bring back a beautiful Senior Sister, Hu Jia's eyes lit up slightly. She leaned on the table and called out, "Oh, Xiao Mei, where did you pick up this beautiful Senior Sister?"

Gu Xun'er looked at Hu Jia somewhat helplessly, feeling that this person was becoming increasingly unruly.

Xiao Mei's ears turned slightly red. She smiled and introduced, "Let me introduce everyone, this is Senior Hun Jin, an Inner Court senior student, currently with the strength of a seven-star Dou Spirit."

Hearing this, Hu Jia's expression changed slightly, somewhat surprised: "Seven-star Dou Spirit?"

This level, in the Inner Court, could rank among the top three.

Xiao Han tossed the crystal card in her hand into her system space and looked up at Hun Jin, asking, "May I ask why Senior Hun Jin has come to our Gate of Transmigration?"

Hun Jin looked at Xiao Han. She had heard about the incident that day—this cold and aloof junior before her had single-handedly suppressed sixteen eight-star Dou Great Master senior students of the Inner Court, rendering them helpless with just one move. Such prowess was truly astounding.

"It's like this," Hun Jin smiled friendlily and said, "I want to join the Gate of Transmigration."

Hearing this, Hu Jia and Wu Hao beside them couldn't help but widen their eyes, seeming unable to believe what they had heard.

What was going on? A seven-star Dou Spirit senior actually wanted to join their newly established new student faction that was less than two days old?

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, seemingly not having expected Hun Jin to come today for this reason. She didn't find it surprising that Hun Jin wanted to join their Gate of Transmigration, after all, the girl she fancied was one of the pillars of their Gate of Transmigration.

"Senior wants to join the Gate of Transmigration?" Xiao Han smiled faintly, "Then what about the faction Senior originally joined..."

Hun Jin smiled and said, "I haven't joined any faction."

Hu Jia was surprised: "Haven't joined any faction? You mean, Senior, you've been alone since entering the Inner Court?"

Hun Jin nodded.

Hu Jia suddenly realized why Hun Jin's name sounded familiar. She remembered her grandfather mentioning during casual conversation that there was a lone wolf senior in the Inner Court who had made an excellent reputation for herself alone.

"Since Senior has never joined any faction, why do you want to join our Gate of Transmigration?" Gu Xun'er leaned against Xiao Han, blinking her eyes, asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Hun Jin grinned and looked at Xiao Mei beside her, saying, "Junior Xun'er shouldn't tease me. Why I want to join the Gate of Transmigration, shouldn't you be clear about that?"

Gu Xun'er covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes showing a hint of mischief: "So it's because of cousin Xiao Mei."

Hearing Gu Xun'er's teasing, Xiao Mei coughed somewhat uncomfortably, her ears turning slightly red, and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

Hearing their conversation, Hu Jia had a sudden realization: "Could it be... Senior Hun Jin is the girlfriend little Mei'er mentioned? Tsk tsk tsk, I couldn't tell, little Mei'er. I didn't expect your partner to be an Inner Court senior, and such a famous one at that."

Xiao Mei hadn't expected Hu Jia to blurt out such a thing. Her expression changed slightly, and she had no time to stop Hu Jia from speaking.

Hearing Hu Jia's words, Hun Jin was first stunned, then showed obvious joy: "Mei- Mei'er, does this mean you've agreed to me?"

Xiao Mei: "......"

Xiao Mei's face remained expressionless, only the tips of her ears beginning to turn slightly red.

Xiao Han was completely uninterested in the ambiguity between these two. She only cared about Hun Jin, this high-level Dou Spirit who reportedly wanted to join the Gate of Transmigration.

"Are you sure you want to join us?" Xiao Han lightly tapped the table with her index finger, her gaze profound as she looked at Hun Jin, saying, "Senior should think it through carefully. Our Gate of Transmigration is not a faction where you can come and go as you please. If you get tired of staying later, it won't be so easy to leave."

Hun Jin's previously somewhat excited smile also sobered. She nodded solemnly and said, "Of course I've thought it through."

Gu Xun'er revealed a smile and stood up: "Welcome, Senior, to join us."

Hun Jin was slightly stunned. Was joining really this easy?

"Don't you need any kind of assessment?" Hun Jin couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Han glanced at her lazily and said, "No need."

After all, apart from the crowd of new students, Hun Jin was the first senior to join them, and probably the last. So there was no need for any assessment. After all, their Gate of Transmigration was originally established just for mutual support, and there was no need to attract powerful seniors or make a big name in the Inner Court.

No need, really no need.

And Hun Jin, from Xiao Han's three words, read deep confidence and pride.

This girl is definitely not simple, Hun Jin thought inwardly.

"Since we have nothing to do today, why don't we go check out the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower?" After a brief moment of sadness at being the only one left single among the high-quality girls around her, Hu Jia perked up again and enthusiastically suggested.

Since entering the Inner Court three days ago, they had been busy with Gate of Transmigration affairs and hadn't yet visited the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Hearing this, everyone in the room turned their gaze to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han took a sip of tea, feeling somewhat perplexed: "If you want to go, then go. Why are you looking at me?"

Did they think if she said they couldn't go, they wouldn't?

Hun Jin smiled and said, "Then let me show everyone around the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower."

Naturally, no one had any objections. None of them had been there before, and having a senior to guide them would certainly save a lot of trouble.

There were many people heading to the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, a dense crowd. The best spots in the square in front of the Qi Refining Tower were divided into several areas, with some powerful individuals sitting cross-legged within. They were among the most powerful factions in the Inner Court, so even if they occupied the best positions in advance without queuing, no one dared to complain.

Although with Xiao Han's strength, seizing one of the best positions would be no problem at all, considering that the Gate of Transmigration had just been established and its overall strength was very weak, Xiao Han thought it better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, if the new members of the faction were ambushed when out and about, she wouldn't be able to manage it all.

"This Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower... is underground?" Gu Xun'er looked ahead, somewhat stunned.

What met their eyes was a sunken terrain. Within that depression, an extremely large black tower was deeply buried underground, with only a spire and a black entrance exposed above ground.

Hun Jin nodded and said, "I don't know why either, but it's said that since the establishment of the Inner Court, this Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower has always been underground."

Hun Jin had quite a reputation in the Inner Court. Seeing her, the senior students unconsciously stepped back. While stepping back, they also looked somewhat surprised at Xiao Han and the others beside Hun Jin. In this Inner Court, Hun Jin was famous for being a lone wolf. Her personal strength and talent were excellent, but she had never joined any organization. Even the White Gang, one of the largest factions in the Inner Court, had extended an olive branch to her, only to be rejected. Seeing her now with some unfamiliar girls, everyone was inevitably surprised.

"Hey, look, that girl in white next to Senior Hun Jin, isn't she that new student called Xiao Han?" A senior student elbowed his companion beside him, whispering.

The person next to him looked closely and immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "It really seems to be her."

Two days ago, the news of a new student named Xiao Han subduing sixteen seven and eight-star Dou Great Master seniors with one move had already spread throughout the Inner Court. Now everyone knew that a monster of a high-level Dou Spirit at twenty years old had appeared among the new students.

"It really is... Why do you think Senior Hun Jin is with them?"

"I heard that this Junior Xiao Han gathered all the new students together and formed a faction called the 'Gate of Transmigration'... Could Senior Hun Jin have joined their Gate of Transmigration?"

Hearing this, that senior student was shocked and blurted out, "How is that possible?"

The person next to him glanced at him: "What's impossible about it?"

That senior student was at a loss for words. Thinking carefully, it indeed didn't seem impossible.

Their conversation was heard almost word for word by Xiao Han and the others. Gu Xun'er looked at Xiao Han with a smile in her eyes and teased, "Senior Sister has already become famous in the Inner Court."

Xiao Han was somewhat helpless. She raised her hand and gently pinched Gu Xun'er's nose tip.

Gu Xun'er smiled charmingly, allowing Xiao Han's action, looking extremely obedient.

Xiao Mei glanced at the two of them, her eyes revealing a hint of envy.

Hun Jin's attention had been almost entirely on Xiao Mei beside her. Seeing that fleeting envy in Xiao Mei's eyes, a surge of emotion welled up in her heart.

Her fingers moved slightly, silently reaching for Xiao Mei's delicate hand hanging by her side, and then, without anyone noticing, she grasped Xiao Mei's hand.

Feeling a soft touch on the back of her hand, Xiao Mei was suddenly startled and reflexively turned her head, meeting Hun Jin's eyes that seemed brimming with tenderness.

Due to the surprise, Xiao Mei's movement was somewhat large, causing Xiao Han and the others beside her to instinctively look her way.

"What's wrong?" The always casual Hu Jia was the first to ask.

Xiao Mei coughed lightly, the tips of her ears turning red: "Nothing."

Despite saying this, she didn't pull her hand away from Hun Jin's.

Not feeling any resistance from Xiao Mei, Hun Jin was overjoyed, her eyes filled with smiles.

Xiao Han saw through the affair between these two at a glance, but merely shook her head inwardly and withdrew her gaze. Only Hu Jia still had a curious look, seeming to want to continue asking, but was pulled back by Gu Xun'er.

Hu Jia's face was full of question marks. Just as she was about to ask Gu Xun'er why she had pulled her, she saw the joined hands between Xiao Mei and Hun Jin.

Hu Jia: "......"

Instantly feeling the world's malice.

She stiffened her face, turned her head, and with great sorrow, elbowed Wu Hao beside her. Then, under his wooden and confused gaze, she said, "I suddenly want to be in a relationship too."

Wu Hao's brows furrowed slightly, seeming not to understand Hu Jia's meaning: "Haven't you always wanted to be in a relationship?"

Hu Jia: "...Get lost."

Just then, an ancient bell sound suddenly rang out without warning in this area. With the ringing of the bell, the noisy sounds immediately ceased.

"Open the tower!"

As the bell sound faded, an old voice seemed to emanate from within the tower.

Shortly after the old voice fell, the tightly closed black door slowly opened with a creaking sound. A faint, scorching air seeped out, causing the temperature in this area to rise slightly.

An aged voice rang out, accompanying the sound of the opening door, echoing throughout the area.

"Enter the tower!"
