"Alright, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest can be considered a complete success. We plan to leave here at noon today."
After ending the discussion about Martial Souls, Quan Yue announced the subsequent itinerary.
"My mother and I still have to go to the Academy, so we may need to separate here."
The Star Dou Great Forest is closer to the Academy. Now that the vacation is about to end, Quan Yi decided to depart directly from here to the Academy.
"Regarding this matter, we have actually decided to let you go to the Academy alone," Quan Yue said in a deep voice.
"What!"
Quan Yue's arrangement surprised Quan Yi somewhat.
He shifted his gaze to his mother, but Su Ling'er's expression was very calm. Obviously, the two had reached a consensus.
"Xiao Yi, your strength has already surpassed mine. You no longer need my protection. You already have enough strength to ensure your own safety."
Su Ling'er's tone was very steady, but a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
"Regarding the effect of Firearms, I have personally tested its power. This is an epoch-making discovery, and its value even exceeds that of Soul Guidance Devices," Quan Yue continued.
"So, I decided to secretly expand the mining of Gunpowder materials and other metals. This matter is a major event concerning the fate of the Quan Family. I cannot preside over the overall situation alone, and I need your mother's help."
Regarding Firearms, Quan Yue saw danger in them.
But he also saw opportunities.
For the Quan Family, which lacks Soul Masters, Firearms are an extremely important weapon.
They can cultivate a large number of 'Great Soul Masters' out of thin air in a short period of time.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration by Quan Yue and Su Ling'er, they decided to let Quan Yi continue to study and cultivate alone, while they were responsible for the production of Firearms.
"Actually, with my current level, I have already surpassed the graduation requirements of the Advanced Soul Master Academy, and I can also participate in family affairs."
Over the years, Quan Yi, as the Young Master, has received too much help. Quan Yi is actually eager to contribute to the family.
Moreover, with his strength, he can already stand alone.
"No!" Hearing Quan Yi's words, Quan Yue suddenly shouted loudly.
"Your most important task now is cultivation. Soul Masters generally have a golden period of rapid development until the age of twenty. You are only eight years old now, so you have at least ten years of development time.
Your own development is more important than the development of our entire family. I hope you can devote all your energy to cultivation."
Quan Yue's expression was extremely serious.
Quan Yi was also stunned.
"Xiao Yi, you are still young, and it is not your turn to bear the heavy responsibilities of the family. Just cultivate well. When you become strong, even if you do nothing, you will be the Pillar of Support of our family," Su Ling'er said softly.
"Okay."
After thinking for a moment, Quan Yi agreed to their request.
"Okay, although I will leave, Quan Ying will still be responsible for the Academy. As for the Ironware Research Institute, I will leave Yuan Blacksmith and some staff there.
You can continue to conduct research and cultivation there in your spare time from cultivation.
I need to transfer most of the other staff. They are familiar with all the details of Assembly Line Production. With them, it will help us quickly expand production," Su Ling'er arranged.
Su Ling'er's judgment was correct. Production and research can actually be carried out separately.
Quan Yi only needs to research new Firearms and new production processes.
And they only need to follow Quan Yi's instructions and lay out the production line step by step.
"I will also completely hand over the Gunpowder Research Institute to you. You only need to use your brain in the Academy, and leave the rest to us," Su Ling'er said.
"Even if you are in the Academy, you can still make the most important contribution to our family. You have done enough," Su Ling'er comforted.
"I understand, Mother, Father. I will follow your instructions and work hard to cultivate. You can rest assured."
Quan Yi understood his parents' intentions. Although he was a little reluctant, he still agreed.
Moreover, their willingness to let him go out alone was an affirmation of his strength.
At noon, the three of them had one last meal together.
Then, he boarded a carriage and parted ways with his parents, embarking on his journey to the Academy.
When Quanyi arrived at the Academy, the semester had already started a week prior.
Noon at the Academy training ground.
"What exactly happened to you during this summer vacation? Your transformation is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Huo Wu asked in surprise when she saw Quanyi's fair skin and his body that had grown a size larger.
"It's nothing, I just didn't get any sun, so my skin returned to its original state."
Back at the Academy, Quanyi returned to his routine of studying and cultivating.
Returning from the perilous Star Dou Great Forest to the quiet and beautiful campus, Quanyi felt somewhat unaccustomed.
"This summer vacation, I went to the Soul Fight Arena every day. Now my one-on-one Soul Fight points have accumulated to 103. It won't be long before I catch up with you."
Huo Wu showed off her achievements to Quanyi.
She had successfully advanced a stage and obtained the Bronze Soul badge.
One must know that Huo Wu is only Level 23 right now. To achieve such dazzling results among a group of Soul Masters with higher Soul Power than her, it is evident of her strength.
This summer vacation, Huo Wu would go to the Soul Fight Arena for Soul Fights every day.
Due to Huo Wu's unique and powerful Martial Soul, she was like a fish in water during Soul Fights.
Apart from Defense System Soul Masters, other types of Soul Masters who encountered Huo Wu would basically be made to suffer terribly by Huo Wu's Second Soul Skill.
Moreover, through a large number of battles, she had also accumulated rich practical experience, and her strength had also undergone tremendous changes.
"By the way, should we have a Soul Fight?"
At this moment, Huo Wu suddenly suggested.
"Are you sure?"
Quanyi's expression was a little subtle.
One must know that his Martial Soul is the nemesis of Fire-attribute Soul Masters. No matter how powerful Huo Wu's Flame Fiend is, as long as it is Fire-attribute, it will not have any effect on him.
"Of course. However, you can't use your Martial Soul. Otherwise, it would be too unfair. Your Soul Power level is already higher than mine, and if you add your fire immunity, I would have no chance of winning."
Huo Wu made an exaggerated request. But in fact, judging from the strength of the two, it does not seem too excessive.
Moreover, her proposal made Quanyi a little tempted.
"Alright then. Let me see how much you've improved this summer."
Quanyi agreed to Huo Wu's request.
Hearing Quanyi agree to her unreasonable request, Huo Wu revealed a malicious smile.
Although Quanyi's level is four levels higher than hers, and his strength is several times stronger than hers, if Quanyi does not use his Martial Soul, then her chances of winning will be very high.
This was the first time Huo Wu had challenged Quanyi. The two, who had always stood together, were now at loggerheads, and both of them looked eager to try.
The training ground was empty at noon.
"Be careful."
Martial Soul Avatar.
A illusory orange-red Fire Shadow appeared behind Huo Wu.
*Second Soul Skill, Flame Fiend Whip Dance*.
"Pa, pa."
As Huo Wu waved the long whip, it lashed on the ground, leaving scorched whip marks.
For Quanyi, who understood the effects of Huo Wu's skills, her sudden attack did not have much effect.
Therefore, Huo Wu did not attack first, but gradually increased the psychological pressure on Quanyi in this way.
