Episode 1 recap: Xiao Yan joined the Canaan Academy, while Bai Shan aimed to win the Hegemony Tournament.
In the vast world, there is a magical continent where all beings, whether spirits or exotic monsters, regardless of their origins, can cultivate their own power called Dou Qi. It is a world where the strong rule, and becoming a truly powerful fighter is the pursuit of every individual. The title of "Dou Emperor" is an everlasting legend on this continent.
Xiao Yan, a young member of the Xiao family in Wutan City of the Dou Qi continent, was originally the youngest fighter in the family's history. However, overnight, he lost all his Dou Qi and was reduced to the lowest level with only three levels remaining. Xiao Yan, who went from being a genius to a waste, publicly broke off his engagement with Nalan Yanran, the young mistress of the Yunlan Sect, who was promised to him.
To cleanse his family's shame, Xiao Yan made a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran to fight at the Yunlan Sect. During this time, a mysterious person appeared from the Nalan Ring worn by Xiao Yan. He was Yao Chen, the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi continent. Guided by Yao Chen, Xiao Yan embarked on a journey, not only capturing the nineteenth-ranked Green Lotus Core Flame from the Exotic Fire List but also defeating Nalan Yanran in their three-year agreement.
Now, Xiao Yan has come to the Canaan Academy to obtain greater power and pursue his new goal. At night, a masked figure in black descended from the rooftop and arrived at the Canaan Academy. The guardians of Canaan surrounded the intruder but failed to catch him. Female student Amber learned that someone intended to infiltrate the tower and ordered everyone to summon Wu Hao.
Female student Xiao Xun Er relentlessly pursued the intruder and finally caught up with him. She sternly demanded to know who he was and how he dared to infiltrate the Heavenly Flame Training Tower. The intruder then removed his mask and revealed himself as Xiao Yan, telling Xiao Xun Er that he had returned as promised.
The two embraced each other excitedly, and Xiao Yan shared his experiences after their separation, which Xiao Xun Er had already heard of his heroic deeds. Just then, Hu Jia arrived with other classmates, and Xiao Xun Er quickly approached them to provide cover for Xiao Yan, claiming that the intruder had disappeared, and they all left together.
Xiao Yan and Yao Chen arrived at the Heavenly Flame Training Tower, but Yao Chen believed that the tower was extraordinary, while Xiao Yan was eager to reunite with Xiao Xun Er and was not interested in what Yao Chen had to say. That night, Xun Er told Hu Jia about her relationship with Xiao Yan. She had been arranged by her father to stay at the Xiao family in Wutan City since childhood, and Xiao Yan had always been kind to her, making her feel safe and happy.
However, something unexpected happened to Xiao Yan afterward. He originally had the qualification to enroll in the Canaan Academy, but now that the matter was resolved, he was refused registration because he was not a disciple of the Canaan Academy.
At this moment, Senior Brother Bai Shan arrived with a group of people, arrogantly intending to teach Xiao Yan a lesson. However, the dean and the elders arrived in time to stop him. Hao Zhang Lao was angry that Xiao Yan didn't take Canaan Academy seriously, thinking he could come whenever he wanted. The dean stated that if Xiao Yan wanted to enter Canaan Academy, he would have to take three additional tests. Xiao Yan readily accepted the condition.
At the beginning, Xiao Yan intentionally appeared timid, which led Bai Shan to mock him. However, Xiao Yan's subsequent performance amazed everyone present, and in the end, he defeated the senior elder of the academy. The elder, reluctantly, announced that Xiao Yan could participate in the Strong Ranking Tournament. The dean declared Xiao Yan as an official disciple of Canaan Academy. Bai Shan was very dissatisfied, but the elder admonished him, saying that only through comparison could one make progress.
Xun Er brought clothes for Xiao Yan and took him on a tour of the academy's layout. They soared through the sky above Canaan Academy. The dean announced that the top ten winners of the Strong Ranking Tournament would be able to enter the Qi Training Tower for body refinement. The competition would last for ten days, and all disciples of Canaan were eligible to participate.
Xiao Yan went to find Yao Chen, hoping that Yao Chen could tell him about the treasures in the tower. Yao Chen told him to go in and see for himself, and informed him that there was a ranked fourteenth flame from the Exotic Fire List inside called the Fallen Heart Flame. This would serve as his confidence to defeat Yun Shan.
Exotic Fire is the most precious power on the Dou Qi continent. For ordinary people to possess even one Exotic Fire is considered a great fortune. Yao Chen explained that the reason he passed on the Burning Technique to Xiao Yan was to let him possess more than one Exotic Fire. Legend has it that there are twenty-three different Exotic Fires scattered across the continent, and the Burning Technique can subdue all of them.
If Xiao Yan wanted to become stronger, he had to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame. Xun Er reminded Xiao Yan to be cautious of two individuals in the academy: Hu Jia and Bai Shan. Both of them possessed formidable strength. However, Xiao Yan believed that Xun Er was also a formidable person. Under Yao Chen's guidance, Xiao Yan was practicing the Green Lotus Core Flame technique and was about to break through the barrier.
Xun Er prepared a delicious meal for Xiao Yan, but it was interrupted by Hu Jia. Bai Shan was determined to defeat Xiao Yan in the Hegemony Tournament but ended up losing control during his training. Hu Jia couldn't stop laughing at his sorry state. In order to win, Bai Shan secretly used a prohibited substance called Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill.
The Hegemony Tournament began, and the elites of Canaan Academy showcased their skills, engaging in a spectacular and thrilling battle.
