Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears-Chapter 158 - 155: The Flame Emperor’s Personal Arrival, Another Master in the Tower?

Chapter 158: Chapter 155: The Flame Emperor’s Personal Arrival, Another Master in the Tower?

Four of the seven major academies’ deans had come.

And what’s more, even the principal, a master at the King-level Peak Realm, had come in person!

What an incredible display of prestige!

These powerful figures usually carried an imposing and dignified air, yet at this moment, they all exuded a warm and gentle aura.

Spotting them in the crowd, He Qianfeng immediately walked over and bowed slightly.

"Principal, Deans."

His posture was the same as always, but his tone was much more composed.

"Good, good, good!"

Chen Shouzheng clapped He Qianfeng on the shoulder like a proud elder.

"He Qianfeng, you really did it. You haven’t disappointed me!"

"No one has passed the seventh level of the Heart Sea Glazed Tower for who knows how many years! You are only the second person in this academy’s history to do so. Your future achievements will be limitless!"

Chen Shouzheng had repeated "good" three times, and he truly felt a sincere sense of pride. After all, this was a student from his own academy.

Behind him, Zhao Hongwu of the Array Academy also smiled and said:

"Indeed. Even old-timers like us can’t pass the seventh level of the Glazed Tower. The younger generation is truly formidable!"

"That goes without saying! Anyone who breaks through the seventh level is guaranteed to reach the Emperor Level. He Qianfeng is destined to be a future Emperor. Hong Kong Island will soon have another Emperor in its ranks!"

"Qianfeng, say no more. As dean, I must be the one to treat you tonight. I’ll personally host a celebratory banquet for you at Fulin Gate!"

The deans stood with He Qianfeng, talking and laughing, treating him almost as an equal. Their tones even held a hint of trying to curry favor in advance.

Witnessing this scene, the surrounding crowd gained a much clearer understanding of the true value of passing the seventh level of the Glazed Tower.

A living Emperor in the making!

In an instant, He Qianfeng had leaped from being a student kept on at the academy to someone even the deans and the principal sought to please.

Just as the crowd was marveling at this, suddenly—

VMMMM!

An indescribable, supreme pressure descended upon the entire plaza without any warning.

In that instant, the air seemed to freeze, and all noise died down.

A blurry figure slowly materialized in the sky, surrounded by faint ripples of Law.

’Is that... an Emperor?!’

Among everyone present, Principal Chen Shouzheng was the first to react and shake off the pressure’s influence, crying out in shock:

"It’s... It’s the Flame Emperor!"

"The Flame Emperor is here in person!!!"

As his voice fell, the figure in the sky finished materializing.

The newcomer was none other than one of the twelve Emperors of Hong Kong Island, the legend who was the last person to pass the seventh level of the Glazed Tower!

In the air, the Flame Emperor’s gaze swept over the crowd and landed on He Qianfeng. His eyes softened, and at the same time, all the oppressive pressure vanished instantly.

"Not bad."

"I didn’t expect that someone would be able to pass the seventh level after me. You’ve done well, young man."

His voice was calm, yet it carried the natural authority of an Emperor.

Down below, however, the principal and deans quickly led the shouts:

"We respectfully welcome the Flame Emperor!"

"The Flame Emperor’s personal visit is truly an honor for our Hong Kong Island Academy!"

The Flame Emperor himself had come. The prestige of this event had just shot through the roof! At this moment, even the normally composed He Qianfeng’s heart began to pound wildly.

Compared to a so-called future Emperor, this was the real deal!

It wasn’t just He Qianfeng; everyone else was in a daze as well. They never would have imagined that on this ordinary evening, they would get to witness the appearance of an Emperor with their own eyes.

’He Qianfeng has really made it big now!’

The Flame Emperor slowly descended to the ground and said:

"Alright, dispense with the formalities. I sensed that someone had matched my record in the Glazed Tower, so I made a special trip from a thousand li away just to see."

"Two hundred and twenty years have passed. Someone has finally done it. I wonder when the next time will be... And I wonder who will be the one to break through the eighth level beyond it."

The Flame Emperor seemed to be recalling his own experience of challenging the tower, and he spoke with a hint of nostalgia.

Principal Chen Shouzheng hurried over.

"Flame Emperor, there’s no need for regret. The difficulty of this Glazed Tower is plain for all to see. That great being once said himself that to pass the eighth level, one would need Mental Power talent with the potential to reach the Emperor Realm... In this day and age, such a person probably doesn’t exist."

"I’m afraid the record for the Heart Sea Glazed Tower will forever remain at the seventh level."

The Flame Emperor nodded.

"Indeed. Back then, even I only managed to take two steps into that eighth level, let alone pass it."

The Flame Emperor’s words fell clearly on everyone’s ears.

’Even the Flame Emperor only took two steps inside? Just how terrifying is that eighth level?’

’It seems the principal was right. The record for the Heart Sea Glazed Tower can only be the seventh level.’

The crowd once again recognized the heaven-defying difficulty of the Heart Sea Glazed Tower. Many looked up at the magnificent, yet intimidating, structure.

Suddenly, everyone noticed something was wrong. A student cried out in alarm:

"Look!"

"Why is the Heart Sea Glazed Tower lit up? And it’s the seventh level that’s glowing!"

As soon as he spoke, the entire crowd reacted. Everyone, including He Qianfeng, the principal, and the Flame Emperor, turned their gaze toward the Heart Sea Glazed Tower.

The seventh level of the Glazed Tower was shimmering with a golden light.

’What does this mean?’

’Someone is challenging the tower! And they’re on the seventh level right now!’

If this person breaks through the seventh level, they will have matched the Glazed Tower’s record, just like He Qianfeng.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

They weren’t even this shocked when they saw the Flame Emperor himself arrive!

’What is going on?’

’Didn’t they just say it took two hundred years for someone to do this? How is someone else about to do it again right after?’

At this moment, Principal Chen Shouzheng was the first to react, and he immediately ordered:

"Check! Check right now who is challenging the tower!"

A staff member jumped in surprise and hurriedly checked the entry records for the Glazed Tower. He had been busy congratulating He Qianfeng and hadn’t noticed anyone else going in.

Soon, the result came back:

"Principal, according to the queue records, the person who entered the Glazed Tower is an exchange student named... Lin Zhixia."

’Lin Zhixia, an exchange student?’

"She’s with this group right here."

The staff member added, then pointed toward Li Wenbo and his companions.

And so, everyone’s gaze, including the Flame Emperor’s, fell upon Li Wenbo, Ouyang Yunhe, and the others.

Li Wenbo jumped, nearly falling on his butt in fright.

’Lin Zhixia... she really went in?’ 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

’And she’s already reached the seventh level? She might break through it any second now, matching the record of the Flame Emperor and He Qianfeng!’

’Doesn’t that mean she’s also destined to become an Emperor in the future?’

Trembling slightly, Li Wenbo quickly explained the whole situation.

Everyone could only look up and watch the Glazed Tower for any changes. The once-lively congratulatory scene had turned into a crowd of people waiting with bated breath.

"Heh, no need to be so surprised, everyone. This person has only reached the seventh level; it doesn’t mean they’ll pass it."

"That’s right. We all know how difficult the seventh level is. It’s not that easy to pass."

"Clearing six levels is already impressive, but it’s a pity she’s an exchange student."

"What a shame. If this person had challenged the tower at any other time, they would have been endlessly celebrated. Unfortunately for them, He Qianfeng’s brilliant achievement came first today."

The deans discussed amongst themselves. Most weren’t optimistic, believing that the "Lin Zhixia" in the tower would likely stop here.

One of them, hoping to get closer to the Flame Emperor, even made a point of going to his side to start a conversation.

"Lord Flame Emperor, what are your thoughts?"

The Flame Emperor spoke calmly:

"She has taken this long and still hasn’t broken through. I suspect she will stop here. A pity..."

He hadn’t even finished his sentence.

Suddenly, the eighth level of the tower lit up with a blinding flash!
