Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

The ball of light landed in front of everyone, and the white light shield outside gradually dissipated, revealing the invisible flame in the center.

The invisible flames were constantly churning and twisting, but because of the jade stones beneath them, none of them noticed the aura emanating from the flames.

The Grand Elder looked at everyone and said, "This is the Origin Heart Flame. Every year, it takes a huge amount of manpower and resources from our academy to obtain only three or four batches. Moreover, it has basically no effect on those above the Dou Wang level. However, for those who have not reached the Dou Wang level, once they pass the body tempering of the Origin Heart Flame, they are basically guaranteed to become Dou Wangs. So you must seize this opportunity."

“Each year’s top ten on the Strong List come here to be tempered by the Primal Heart Flame, but there is a 50% chance of failure. Moreover, this year’s Heart Flame is even more violent. I estimate that your success rate is only 20%.”

“In the past, if something went wrong during your tempering process, we would have had a chance to help you suppress it, but this year…”

At this point, the Grand Elder sighed.

"This year's Primal Heart Flame is extremely domineering. Everything depends on you. If you can't hold on, and we have to force our way in, the best outcome will be serious injury, or even loss of mind. So, if you regret it now, you can still say so."

"Hehe, Elder, there's no need for further words, let's begin!"

Hearing the elder's words, none of them gave up. Instead, they laughed and prepared to undergo the Heart Flame's body tempering.

The Grand Elder looked at everyone's expressions, then nodded and waved his hand.

Nine balls of flame surged into the light shield from above everyone's heads, and entered their bodies from above. The moment the flames entered their bodies, their faces turned bright red.

"Sigh! I hope they all succeed. The pain of body tempering isn't so simple..."

The elder looked at the group of people, sat cross-legged beside them with a gloomy expression, and kept a close eye on their situation. If anyone was in trouble, they would immediately take action.

At the bottom of the Black Tower, Xiao Fan and the others began their cultivation.

Inside the Black Tower, silence returned once more.

Only a few people's flushed faces occasionally flashed with ferocious expressions.

The Grand Elder and the two other elders stared at them with stern expressions.

After all, this year's Origin Heart Flame is extremely violent; if one is not careful, it could evaporate a person directly from the inside.

Therefore, the elders and the others dared not relax their vigilance in the slightest.

Looking at everyone's flushed faces, the elder in the gray robe among the two elders suddenly sighed and said helplessly, "Alas, I wonder how many of them will be able to make it through this year."

"Of the top ten in the previous ranking, only the Dead Man survived the pain of the Heart Flame Body Tempering. The other six all failed and suffered serious internal injuries. It took them several months to fully recover. The benefits of the Heart Flame Body Tempering are certainly tempting, but they are not so easy to enjoy."

Another elder smiled and shook his head.

"This year's Origin Heart Flame is far superior to previous Heart Flames, both in terms of energy and ferocity. In my opinion, we should not have allowed them to come and temper it."

Upon hearing his words, the Grand Elder simply sighed softly and then said, "I have already explained all the pros and cons to them, but as you all know, who hasn't been a little arrogant to get to this point? We simply cannot persuade them otherwise. We can only hope that under our protection, we can provide them with some safeguards."

Then, the Grand Elder paused, glanced at the black hole in the center of the Black Tower, frowned, and asked, "How has the Fallen Heart Flame been lately? Has there been any major movement?"
