"Of course, while the massive Blazing Mountain Range are a sacred ground for cultivating the fire attribute, they aren't entirely occupied by the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan. The Huo Clan only occupies the northern side of the mountain range, while the southern side is inhabited by a massive number of soul beasts."
"The dense fire-attribute energy of the Blazing Mountain Range doesn't just attract soul master groups represented by the Huo Clan; it also attracts a vast number of soul beasts, especially those of the fire attribute."
"Therefore, the Blazing Mountain Range can also be considered a massive wild soul beast gathering ground. If any soul master on the continent wishes to hunt a fire-attribute soul beast for a soul ring, the Blazing Mountain Range are an excellent choice."
"Originally, the Huo Clan's intention in preserving the southern side of the Blazing Mountain Range for soul beasts was to provide their own clan with a gathering ground centered around fire-attribute soul beasts."
"This not only allowed their clan disciples to obtain soul rings, but also provided a place to arrange trials and temper their skills. However, they didn't place too many restrictions on outsiders either. Instead, they allowed soul masters from outside the clan to enter and hunt soul beasts."
"After all, this won't just win the goodwill of most soul masters, it's also highly beneficial for the sales of soul weapons. Furthermore, the forging of soul weapons requires materials like the essence blood and bones of soul beasts, which helps attract a massive number of independent soul masters to gather here."
"As for Blazing Academy, founded by the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan, it is located within Blazing City at the foot of the Blazing Mountain Range."
"As one of the top-ranking major cities in the Heaven Dou Empire, Blazing City is not inferior to Colossal Elephant City in the slightest. The number of soul masters in the city is immense."
"Every kind of resource in the soul master world can be found here. Soul weapons, medicinal pills, and high-tier fire-attribute items are abundant. From time to time, there are even soul bone auctions—sometimes even ten-thousand-year soul bones."
"Consequently, Blazing City attracts many high-level soul masters who gather to trade and share resources, making it appear even more prosperous than Colossal Elephant City."
After all, Blazing City was backed by the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan, who excelled in forging weapons. Moreover, it leaned against the Blazing Mountain Range, possessing rich natural energy and uniquely endowed, exceptional soul beast resources.
The city's cultivation industry was booming, making it a favorite destination for many independent soul masters who formed adventure teams. Blazing Academy could be considered a top-tier institution on the Douluo Continent.
Backed by the heritage of the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan, the academy boasted a significant number of high-level fire-attribute soul masters and possessed profound insights into teaching students with fire-attribute martial souls.
In fact, talented students within Blazing Academy could even learn the art of forging weapons. Outstanding graduates could even directly join the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan.
"It sounds quite impressive," Ling Xiao said with a smile as he glanced at Yan, "With such conditions, if I were a fire-attribute soul master, I would definitely be interested in this place."
He couldn't help but think to himself that if he had crossed over to the Douluo Continent and awakened a fire-attribute martial soul, and if his family conditions were decent, coming to study at Blazing Academy would have been an excellent choice.
After graduation, whether he joined a major power or traveled the continent as a lone wolf, it would have been viable. However, if that were the case, his life path would definitely be completely different from his current position in Spirit Hall.
Then again, the continent was truly vast, not nearly as small as he had once thought. In the memories of his past life, Blazing Academy was merely a minor background group that barely made a few appearances.
He hadn't expected so much depth behind it.
Although it couldn't compare to the Upper Three Sects, Blazing Academy—or rather, the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan—was not something an ordinary sect could match. They were comparable to the Lower Four Sects, possessing the power to contend against a Titled Douluo.
It seemed that challenging Blazing Academy this time would yield a bountiful harvest. Just as Ling Xiao and his group were fast approaching the Blazing Mountain Range, Blazing City had become exceptionally lively during this period.
This was not only due to the prosperity of Blazing City itself, but even more so because of Spirit Hall's recent actions. Previously, Ling Xiao and the others had made a grand display, setting off from Spirit City to challenge the Elephant Armored Sect.
Yan and Ling Xiao had defeated the most outstanding younger generation of the Huyan Clan and had even broken the Elephant Armor Formation.
This matter was already on the verge of spreading across the entire Heaven Dou Empire, and even many people in the Star Luo Empire had caught wind of it.
Based on the travel route of Ling Xiao and his group, it was not difficult for well-informed individuals to deduce that Spirit Hall's target this time was none other than Blazing Academy—or more accurately, the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan behind it.
After all, even the younger generation of the Huo Clan studied at Blazing Academy.
Shutting oneself away behind closed doors was never a good way to cultivate.
By having the Huo Clan's elite descendants lead the academy, it would be immensely beneficial for inviting outstanding students to join the clan in the future. In other words, Blazing Academy was about to face a challenge, though no one knew what the outcome would be.
Deep down, people already had a premonition.
After all, the most exceptional students at Blazing Academy were the brother and sister duo from the Huo Clan, but their talent and strength were not necessarily that much greater than Huyan Li's.
For them to defeat these two genius soul masters from Spirit Hall, who were currently at the peak of their momentum, would be incredibly difficult.
Yet, everyone still wanted to see the results.
According to rumors, although Huyan Li of the Elephant Armored Sect had been defeated by them, he had actually received high praise from the geniuses of Spirit Hall.
He had even caught a glimpse of a new breakthrough; his strength, rather than declining, had risen, and he was currently in secluded cultivation, fiercely preparing to defeat them in a rematch.
Although the Elephant Armored Sect had lost, their prestige had not waned. It seemed Spirit Hall had no intention of using this matter to suppress the other sects and clans. However, this was only a single case for now.
What Spirit Hall's ultimate purpose was remained to be seen based on their next move. This was something not only the independent soul masters scattered across the continent were watching, but many other sects were observing closely as well.
Located in the south-central region of Blazing City was a massive complex of buildings. Its scale was even grander than the City Lord's Estate, and it was predominantly crimson in color, looking exceptionally majestic.
The scorching aura radiating from it proclaimed that this was the place with the densest distribution of fire-attribute energy in all of Blazing City—this was Blazing Academy.
Walking straight south after entering the academy, the environment became distinctly different from the other directions. The ground and the surrounding buildings turned an increasingly deep shade of dark red, and the temperature continued to rise.
At the very southern end stood a total of eighteen dark-red high towers. Each rose over twenty meters into the air, presenting a magnificent sight. Looking past the towers, one could directly see several fire-red peaks of the Blazing Mountain Range.
Clearly, this was the closest place to the Blazing Mountain Range within Blazing Academy, and indeed within the entire Blazing City. Those dark-red peaks were just a few of the numerous volcanoes within the Blazing Mountain Range.
Although these volcanoes no longer erupted under the management of the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan, they had not gone completely dormant and still contained a terrifying amount of heat.
Those eighteen high towers were precisely what made Blazing Academy truly distinct from other advanced soul master academies.
This was Blazing Academy's unique weapon-forging ground, the place where members of the One Horned Fire Dragon Clan taught students the art of forging weapons.
The spaces inside the towers were used for lecturing on forging theory and conducting simple forging demonstrations. The sections beneath the towers, which extended deep underground, were the actual forging rooms.
When the Huo Clan established Blazing Academy, they used the massive underground fire vein of the Blazing Mountain Range as a foundation to construct a large number of stone rooms beneath the eighteen forging towers, utilizing the subterranean magma tributaries to forge weapons.
At this moment, even though it was already evening, rhythmic bang-bang-bang hammering sounds constantly echoed from this area. Most of the sounds vibrated up from underground, indicating that a significant number of students were currently testing their forging skills beneath the towers.
However, it was worth noting that a large crowd had gathered in front of the rightmost tower among the eighteen forging towers.
The hammering sounds echoing from beneath this particular tower were also the most intense, and they were even faintly accompanied by the sharp cry of an eagle, as if it wanted to pierce through the clouds.
