Chapter 182 Meeting Tang Xiao Again
Yan took a deep breath and looked firmly at the extremely hot fiery red light curtain, his heart full of anticipation.

This is the only way for him to reach a higher level and master stronger fire power.

Yan took a step forward and stepped into the light curtain without hesitation.

In an instant, the surrounding scene changed suddenly, and he seemed to have traveled through time and space and came to a whole new world - the Flame Tower.

Here, fire is the only color, from gentle orange to violent red-purple, layer upon layer, interweaving into a shocking picture.

The air was filled with a hot and dangerous atmosphere. Even though he was accompanied by fire, he couldn't help but feel an unprecedented pressure.

The flames grew more intense and the temperature rose rapidly, as if they were going to devour all living things.

Yan finally experienced the feeling of his own flame being swallowed by other flames.

Without time to think, he began to mobilize the fire in his body to fight the flames around him.

Yan used his inner fire as a shield to resist the invasion of the flames from the outside world, and at the same time he was constantly absorbing the essence of the flames to temper his body and mind.
A hundred days may seem like just a blink of an eye to the outside world, but to Yan who is in the secret realm of fire, it is a long and arduous practice.

During this time, he experienced countless torments and struggles, but each time he persisted, his affinity for fire deepened and his will became stronger.

Finally, when the hundred-day period arrived, Yan slowly opened his eyes.

He found that he could control fire more easily, and his body and will became stronger after this period of training.

The blazing flame tower vanished into nothingness.

[You have successfully passed the first level of the test and received a reward: the age of all your spirit rings will be increased by one thousand years.]

That ethereal and powerful voice rang in Yan's ears again.

However, this time, the shadow of the God of Fire did not appear.

Although the color of the soul ring did not change, the thousand-year increase was equivalent to the power of each soul ring skill being increased by one thousand years.

This also laid a more solid foundation for Yan's future path of cultivation, allowing his strength to reach a new level invisibly.

After successfully passing the first test of the God of Fire, Yan did not show too much excitement or excitement.

He knew that each subsequent level of assessment would become more difficult.

He did not immediately continue to the next level of test, but left the endless fire domain and returned to reality.

Three months later, when she saw Yan again, Qian Renxue felt that there was an even stronger aura from him.

"It seems that after three months of closed-door training, you have become much stronger."

“It’s just improved a little bit.”

Yan did not tell Qian Renxue that he was undergoing the test of the God of Fire.

Qian Renxue smiled slightly.

"During the time you were in seclusion, I have made preparations. Now I can declare war on the Xing Luo Empire. I want to shock them in the first battle and must win. Are you willing to fight on my behalf?"

"of course."

"Very good. I will feel relieved when I hand over the military power of the frontline to you. I will mobilize 300,000 troops and 5,000 spirit masters for your use."

Yan shook his head.

"Three hundred thousand troops are too many. When marching and fighting, the quality of soldiers is not important. Ordinary soldiers are of little use in battle and will only increase casualties. Give me five thousand soul masters as the vanguard, and the two hundred thousand troops will be enough to deal with the aftermath."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. We should take down the cities of the Xing Luo Empire in the most effective way and in the shortest possible time, or even win without fighting."

"Winning without fighting, well said. I believe you."

Qian Renxue believes in Yan and believes in the strength of the Wuhun Empire.

She mobilized 200,000 troops and 5,000 soul masters to Yan.

After reorganizing military affairs, the army, led by Yan, marched towards the Xingluo Empire.

Yan only asked the Demon Subduing Douluo and the Demon Bear Douluo to accompany him. He did this for his own purpose.

If Tang Xiao knew that he was the leader of the army, he might come for revenge, which would be exactly what he wanted.

After the strength is improved, it still needs to be tested in actual combat. Tang Xiao at level 97 is a good choice.

On the other side, the Star Luo Empire.

Emperor Xingluo summoned all his ministers to discuss how to respond to Qian Renxue's declaration of war.

Inside the hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated the resolute faces of each general.

They knew very well that what they were facing this time was not only the 200,000-strong army of the Wuhun Empire, but also a severe test of the dignity and peace of the Xingluo Empire.

Tang Xiao was a little excited when he learned that the Wuhun Empire only dispatched 200,000 troops and the commander was Yan.

The Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall are mortal enemies. Tang Hao died at the hands of Yan. Now is a good time for Tang Xiao to take revenge.

"Your Majesty, the Haotian Sect requests to join the army in the battle."

"Xiaotian Douluo, do you want to fight in person?"

"Yes."

"Good. With Xiaotian Douluo here, we are more confident."

Yu Xiaogang also stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go with Xiaotian Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo beside him looked at each other.

After the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect moved to Xingluo City, they both received strong support from the Xingluo Emperor.

Now that the Wuhun Empire has launched a war, Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang have both stood up, and they can no longer sit idly by.

"Your Majesty, we from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect are also willing to do our part to protect the empire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bone Douluo stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the battle with Xiaotian Douluo and Master."

Their attitudes made Emperor Xingluo very happy.

"Good! With the help of you strong men, we will definitely win and make the Spirit Hall pay the price for underestimating the enemy."

Two days later, three hundred thousand troops marched to the border of the Xing Luo Empire.

Tang Xiao was accompanied by two elders of the Haotian Sect and hundreds of disciples from the sect, while the other elder stayed behind in the Haotian Sect in Xingluo City.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect sent out Bone Douluo and hundreds of soul masters.

Flanders and Yu Xiaogang accompanied him to ensure his safety.

There is an elite force of 3,000 people in the Xingluo army. Each of them is equipped with a Zhuge magic crossbow and is led by Yu Xiaogang.

This was also the first time that Zhuge's divine crossbow was used in a war. Yu Xiaogang and Emperor Xingluo both had high hopes for this elite team.

A month later, the two armies confronted each other on the border.

The armies of both sides gathered at the border, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The army of the Xing Luo Empire, led by Tang Xiao, Yu Xiaogang, Bone Douluo and others, was in high spirits.

On the other hand, the Wuhun Empire, under the leadership of Yan, only dispatched 3,000 soul masters. The remaining 200,000 troops and 2,000 soul masters were on standby in the rear.

Three thousand soul masters faced an army of three hundred thousand, but Yan was not panicked at all.

In the Tiandou Palace Incident, Tang Hao died at the hands of Yan, Yueguan and Guimei, and the Demon-Subduing Douluo killed an elder of the Haotian Sect.

Seeing Yan and the Demon-Slaying Douluo again, Tang Xiao could no longer suppress the anger and desire for revenge in his heart.
