Quan Yi, of course, agreed with Quan Li's decision.
Quan Yi said, "I support you, and when you come out of seclusion, I will help you obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
Quan Yi's eyes were full of trust and support, warming Quan Li's heart. He gently patted Quan Yi's back and replied, "Haha, even for the sake of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, I must break through."
"By the way, besides the matter of seclusion, there's something else I want to tell you."
Quan Yi asked, "What is it?"
Quan Li smiled and told Quan Yi, "This year is the first year of implementing the Family Plan. Before coming here, we conducted the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony for the six-year-old children in the family."
Quan Li paused here.
Seeing Quan Li's expression, Quan Yi had some guesses in his heart.
Quan Li continued, "This awakening ceremony had a total of one hundred and fifty-three six-year-old children participating. The number is not much different from last year, but this year, the number of children with Innate Soul Power is more than double that of last year."
"Double? How much is double?"
Quan Li said, "Last year, our family had one with level one and two with level zero point five. But this year, we have seven children with Innate Soul Power. Moreover, one of them has a White Gloves Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power of level three."
Hearing these figures, Quan Yi was also excited.
Although, judging from the data, the number of awakened Innate Soul Power users is pitifully small, one must know that the total number of Soul Masters on the entire continent adds up to only six figures.
A doubling is already a very significant change.
"This is only the first year of the experiment, and these children have only experienced one year of training. Starting next year, perhaps we can awaken even more Innate Soul Power owners.
Xiao Yi, this is all the change you brought!"
At this moment, Quan Li's eyes were filled with gratification as he looked at Quan Yi.
Quan Yi modestly said, "No, this is the result of the joint efforts of all family members."
What Quan Yi brought was just a seed called 'possibility'. Whether this seed can germinate depends on other elements such as water, nutrition, and sunlight.
Being able to provide hundreds of children with Soul Beast Meat and a stable training environment is inseparable from the efforts of their fathers and grandfathers.
Quan Yi felt motivated and warm in his heart, thinking of the younger generations of the family growing stronger because of his idea.
Unknowingly, the two walked to the other side of the city gate.
Quan Li laughed and said, "Alright, let's part ways here."
Seeing the reluctant expression on Quan Yi's face, he laughed and said, "I'm saying this because I don't want you to worry. We are enough to handle Hanhai City. You should focus more on Blazing Fire Academy.
This is the family business of your future in-laws. Help them as much as you can within your capabilities.
In the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, I remember that Blazing Fire Academy hasn't won the championship for a long time. Maybe they need your help more than we do.
Moreover, everyone is looking forward to you shining brightly in the competition."
At this moment, Huo Wu's figure flashed in Quan Yi's mind, and he nodded in response, "I understand."
Quan Li pressed Quan Yi's shoulder and said, "Go, take care of your body."
The two parted ways at the city gate.
Quan Yi headed to Saus City, while Quan Li made for Hanhai City.
It was already afternoon when he returned to the academy.
Quan Yi transformed into flames and descended by the lake outside the Wooden Cabin.
However, at this moment, a blooming Peach Tree was blossoming on the originally clear and smooth lake.
The trunk of the Peach Tree disappeared into the water's surface, and the falling Peach Blossom petals caused ripples when they touched the lake, attracting small fish to poke their heads out and nibble gently.
From time to time, birds and butterflies from the forest landed on the branches.
Flowers, birds, fish, and insects formed a beautiful, freehand ink painting.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Quan Yi's face as he said, "Xiao Wu, I'm back."
Quan Yi's voice echoed on the lake's surface, and the next moment, the scene before Quan Yi's eyes began to blur. A strange distortion occurred at the center of the solid tree trunk, revealing a pink color inside.
In an instant, the lake with its singing birds and fragrant flowers revealed its true appearance.
Flowers, birds, and insects—all of this turned into pink flames in Quan Yi's eyes.
Just as Quan Yi was gazing at the lake, a soft, delicate body rushed into Quan Yi's embrace.
Huo Wu's voice, filled with longing, flowed into Quan Yi's ears: "What took you so long?"
Quan Yi gently hugged Huo Wu and whispered, "It's my fault for making you wait."
Huo Wu released Quan Yi and scanned him up and down, checking for any changes in his body.
Seeing no signs of injury on Quan Yi's body, she was relieved and said, "Your clothes have become so tight again. It seems you've gained a lot this time."
Quan Yi said, "Yes, this time I absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon, and my body has changed quite a bit.
However, more than me, your control over the senses has become even more exquisite. Without summoning your Martial Soul, even I can't find your location."
Huo Wu had also made considerable progress in the past year, her body and Mental Power becoming stronger under the influence of the Fire Shadow Martial Soul.
Moreover, her control over the 'Peach Illusion' Fire had become more and more skilled. Light and Shadow, Gravity, wind direction, scent, and all the elements that make up the real world were gradually being mastered by Huo Wu.
This process was extremely complex and tested patience, but Huo Wu practiced repeatedly without getting tired of it, reaching her current state in just one year.
At this stage, Quan Yi wasn't quite sure what Huo Wu's specific strength had reached.
However, among her peers, apart from Quan Yi, no one should be able to defeat Huo Wu, not even Qian Renxue, whom he had met by chance several years ago.
"Let's go inside. Besides the Soul Ring, I have other gains this time."
Quan Yi ruffled Huo Wu's hair and went inside to share his experiences with Huo Wu.
At night, in the academy's Underground Flame Vein.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu arrived at the independent cultivation room on the lowest level.
The lowest level of the academy was a dangerous area that only Fire-attribute Soul Masters at the Soul Emperor level could enter.
In the entire Saus City, only a few people could cultivate here.
The ground here was scalding hot. Except for a few hard rocks that had not been eroded by magma, most of the area was covered in magma.
The independent cultivation room was built on the surface of the hard rock.
Walking into the cultivation room, Quan Yi and Huo Wu sat on a heat-insulating bed made of special materials.
Huo Wu wiped the sweat from her forehead and gasped slightly, "Is this the temperature at the very bottom? It feels like every breath I take is burning my lungs."
Quan Yi smiled and said, "Being able to maintain your breathing here means that your physical fitness has reached the level of a Soul Emperor. However, it is still a bit difficult to carry out long-term cultivation here."
Huo Wu nodded slightly in agreement.
Then, she stared at Quan Yi's forehead, revealing a look of anticipation.
Quan Yi smiled dotingly, "Watch carefully."
Immediately, two bulges of energy swelled up on Quan Yi's forehead. As Quan Yi input Soul Power, the two bulges emerged, and two sharp Dragon Horns extended upwards.
With the Dragon Horns, Quan Yi's overall aura became domineering. Huo Wu's eyes were attracted to Quan Yi, and her eyes lit up with starlight.
She blurted out, "So handsome!"
Huo Wu immediately reached out and touched Quan Yi's Dragon Horns, saying, "With such handsome Soul Bone, why not call it Scarlet Dragon Horns?"
