Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 93 : . Compensation

The Inner Court students of Jia Nan Academy would forever remember that day when the woman who emerged from the broken Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower raised her hand, nearly causing the sky to collapse.

In the face of absolute power, neither the Medicine Emperor nor anyone else could escape death.

The attack range and power of the second seal of the Heavenly Might Seal far surpassed the first seal, not to mention that Xiao Han hadn't held back at all. To her, betraying and killing one's master was an unforgivable sin.

Faced with this suffocating attack, Han Feng's face suddenly turned pale. He finally realized that the woman before him, who could subdue the Fallen Heart Flame with lightning attributes and reduce a Dou Emperor to ashes, had transcended their level.

"Please spare me, Your Excellency!" Han Feng no longer cared about an alchemist's pride or face, screaming for mercy, "Han Feng was blind! If Your Excellency could spare me, I would certainly..."

Xiao Han slightly turned her head, her gaze devoid of any warmth. She said softly, "Noisy."

As her words fell, the terrifying attack suddenly crashed down. A deafening sound echoed through the clouds. For a moment, mountains crumbled and the earth split. Waves of energy suddenly spread out in circles, mercilessly tearing up the ground. Countless rocks were pulverized into dust by this terrifying force the instant they were created.

Su Qian and the others had to retreat rapidly. The power was too frightening; even its aftermath was difficult for them to withstand. Now they could only be thankful that the students had retreated to the back mountain; otherwise, those students would certainly have been torn to shreds by this aftermath.

At the peak of the back mountain, Hu Jia uncomfortably rubbed her ears. The sound waves produced by this terrifying strike caused her ears to ring. Looking at the silver-robed woman with crimson patterns floating in mid-air, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Was this really Xiao Han? But to be able to raise a hand and suppress numerous peak Dou Emperor experts, one would need to be at least at the peak of Dou Ancestor, right? In just four years, she not only escaped death and emerged from the tower, but also advanced to the peak of Dou Ancestor?

Hu Jia, who had been happy about touching the threshold of Dou Emperor, instantly deflated.

Glancing at the suddenly deflated Hu Jia, Han Yue, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow. Seemingly accustomed to the little demoness's intermittent outbursts, she turned her gaze towards the sky.

That seemed to be... the founder of the Gate of Transmigration, Xiao Han, the most mysterious and prominent figure in the Inner Court four years ago. Who would have thought she could actually escape from the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, and judging by her appearance, she must have touched a realm they dared not believe.

After being lost in thought for a while, Han Yue returned to her senses and said to Hu Jia beside her, "Help me count the students."

In the Inner Court of Jia Nan Academy, after advancing to Dou King, one could apply to become an instructor or choose to leave the academy. Han Yue chose to become an Inner Court instructor after advancing to Dou King. Hu Jia had no interest in becoming an instructor, but on one hand, she didn't want to part with Han Yue, and on the other hand, she hoped to hold down the fort for the Gate of Transmigration until Xiao Han returned. So she desperately begged her grandfather to make an exception, allowing her to stay in the Inner Court, and incidentally kept Wu Hao and Xiao Mei as well.

However, to maintain order in the Inner Court, Hu Jia and the others couldn't arbitrarily participate in conflicts between factions, nor could they occupy the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower or participate in various competitions. Because of this, Wu Hao and Xiao Mei usually didn't like to stay in the Inner Court, spending most of their time traveling to increase their cultivation.

It just so happened that they had all returned to the Inner Court today.

Hearing Han Yue's words, Hu Jia instinctively responded and called on Wu Hao and Xiao Mei to help.

At the center of the plaza, the smoke gradually dispersed. Scattered rocks fell, striking the ground before shattering.

The Inner Court experts held their breath, staring intently at the ground without moving. A drop of cold sweat slowly trickled down their cheeks.

At their feet, a deep crater had appeared. The ground around the crater was severely cracked, with large areas of land turned to powder, loosely piled around. All the Black Corner Region experts had vanished, with only the crimson stains at the bottom of the crater seemingly telling everyone where they had gone.

Su Qian swallowed, feeling a chill all over his body.

The person responsible for all this was quietly hovering nearby, surrounded by blood-red lightning. The formless Fallen Heart Flame humbly submitted around her, adding to her mystique.

Xiao Han calmly swept her gaze over the deep crater below. Without any visible action from her, a deep blue light darted up from the bottom of the pit, finally stopping in front of Xiao Han.

Only when the deep blue light stopped did everyone see what it was.

A tuft of deep blue flame, yet looking like a constantly jumping body of seawater, with slightly lighter edges, appearing quiet and elegant. After appearing, this flame just quietly flickered. Su Qian seemed to sense a hint of fawning from this flame.

This is... Su Qian was slightly stunned, then realized, could this be the Heterogeneous Flame that Han Feng possessed, the Sea Heart Flame?

Xiao Han beckoned, and the Sea Heart Flame and Fallen Heart Flame obediently flew towards her, diving into her glabella, staying quietly in her sea of consciousness, not daring to cause any trouble.

After doing all this, Xiao Han finally turned her gaze to the crowd behind her.

Meeting Xiao Han's gaze, Su Qian took a deep breath inwardly, steeled himself to step forward, smiled, and said, "Student Xiao Han, it's been a long time."

Xiao Han said calmly, "It's been a long time, Elder Su."

It must be said that Xiao Han was already prone to killing conversations before, and after staying in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower for four years, she became even worse at chatting.

Su Qian coughed lightly, feeling somewhat awkward, but still forced himself to continue with some small talk. Xiao Han just quietly stared at him, neither responding nor showing any impatient expression. Yet just like this, Su Qian's voice grew smaller and smaller, until finally he didn't even know what he was saying.

There was no help for it; Xiao Han's imposing presence was too strong. Even if she said nothing and just quietly looked at you, it would give people an intangible sense of pressure, making them feel tense and panicked from the bottom of their hearts, unable to speak.

After a long struggle, Su Qian finally managed to say, "Now, the Gate of Transmigration has become the largest force in the Inner Court. Would you like to take a look?"

Xiao Han swept her gaze over the nearly thousand students at the peak of the back mountain, immediately noticing the well-organized group with familiar badges on their chests, led by Xiao Mei, Wu Hao, and Hu Jia.

Two eight-star Dou Kings and one nine-star Dou King about to touch Dou Emperor. To achieve such accomplishments in four years, it seemed these three hadn't slacked off and had encountered some good opportunities.

In the past, she might have gone to take a look, after all, it was a force she had established with her own hands, and she should show some care. Moreover, she had good relationships with Hu Jia and the others, so for the sake of sentiment and reason, she should spend some time. However, now she was in no mood for it.

Besides, judging by the looks of things, Hu Jia and the others had managed the Gate of Transmigration extremely well, so there wasn't much for her to see.

"No need," Xiao Han's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion. "I've caused trouble for the academy."

Su Qian looked at the shattered plaza and the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, feeling bitter inside, but not daring to say anything. After all, the person before him was not on the same level as the Black Corner Region experts from earlier. They had felt somewhat overwhelmed facing the Black Corner Region experts, let alone facing this person who could kill all the Black Corner Region experts with a single strike. The Xiao Han from before might not have been so absolute; she would have still considered the academy's interests. But after four years, the person who had broken out of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower might not be the same.

Forget about compensation, he now only hoped that Xiao Han wouldn't cause trouble.

Xiao Han raised her right hand, and a faint silver light flashed. After the silver light disappeared, a small porcelain bottle appeared in her hand.

Tossing the porcelain bottle to Su Qian, she said calmly, "Compensation."

Catching the porcelain bottle, Su Qian was somewhat stunned, not expecting Xiao Han to offer compensation voluntarily.

He just didn't know what was inside this porcelain bottle.

Lost in thought for a moment, he heard Xiao Han say calmly, "Farewell." When he looked up again, Xiao Han had vanished.

Seeing Xiao Han leave, Su Qian finally let out the breath he had been holding. This version of Xiao Han gave him such a strong sense of danger, making him very uncomfortable.

Looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Su Qian guessed it should be pills, so he handed it to the elder from the alchemy department to see what it was.

That elder carefully opened the porcelain bottle. The moment it was opened, a faint sweet fragrance wafted out. Upon smelling this scent, everyone felt their spirits lift, and their bodies seemed to become lighter.

When he saw the pale golden viscous liquid in the bottle, that elder suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock, "This is... an eighth-grade medicinal liquid, Golden Mist Jade Essence Liquid!"

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp sounded from those around.

Even if they weren't alchemists, they had heard of the Golden Mist Jade Essence Liquid, known for its terrifying medicinal effects and extreme rarity.

The value of this bottle of Golden Mist Jade Essence Liquid far exceeded the academy's losses, except for the taken Fallen Heart Flame.

Without the Fallen Heart Flame, the Inner Court of Jia Nan Academy would likely be in turmoil for some time.

However... Remembering that Xiao Han had once promised to leave a flame seed for the Inner Court, Su Qian still held some hope. After some thought, he went to check the broken tower, and sure enough, he saw a seed of the Fallen Heart Flame quietly floating inside the tower, extremely docile, showing none of its previous arrogance. If not for the familiar and terrifying aura, Su Qian would have thought he was looking at a fake flame.

Completely relieved, Su Qian thought to himself that he must have overthought things. This Xiao Han who had broken out of the tower was still the original Xiao Han.

It wasn't until the other elders beside him spoke that he came back to his senses, withdrew from his thoughts, and said, "Let all the students disperse. Don't come to the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower for the next ten days. This tower needs to be repaired."

Looking at the obedient and quiet Fallen Heart Flame, Su Qian thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to seal this Heterogeneous Flame again.
