#26 - Speculations about Blazing Academy

Entering the cave, the room contained only a futon, without even a lamp.

However, the room wasn't dark, as the door to the cave was a simple wooden plank made of several long wooden strips arranged with relatively large gaps between them.

The light from the passageway would shine into the cave through these gaps.

Moreover, air would circulate through the cracks in the door, preventing the cave from feeling stuffy.

Quan Yi sat down on the futon and was surprised to find it wasn't hot.

Quan Yi carefully felt the material of the futon and discovered it was woven from a special plant material.

Quan Yi had never seen this material before. He silently memorized its feel and color, planning to discuss it with Quan Ying later to see if the Quan family could utilize this material.

After carefully examining the futon, Quan Yi quickly calmed his mind and entered meditation with some anticipation.

Even while meditating, Quan Yi could still feel the astonishing heat.

However, Quan Yi also noticed that the growth rate of his soul power had significantly increased. The cultivation speed was even faster than in the Quan family's basement.

More importantly, this was only at a position of around eighty degrees. Quan Yi hadn't even truly approached the magma deep underground.

This meant that as Quan Yi's strength increased, he could continue to delve deeper, eventually even sitting next to the magma to cultivate his soul power.

Soon, an hour had passed.

Quan Yi opened his eyes, his face filled with satisfaction.

According to Quan Yi's original plan, breaking through level twenty would take about a year to a year and a half. However, the effect of the simulated environment exceeded his expectations and should shorten the time by half a year.

At this rate, Quan Yi could break through level twenty in about a year and undergo his second soul ring absorption.

Quan Yi walked out of the cultivation room, very satisfied, and found Huo Wu already standing at the door waiting for him.

Quan Yi keenly noticed that Huo Wu's face was a little pale, and she was sweating quite heavily.

Quan Yi immediately took out a water pouch from the Heart of Scorching Sun and handed it to Huo Wu.

"Here, have some water."

Huo Wu gratefully took it, opened the lid, and eagerly drank it down.

"Ah~, I'm alive again, thank you."

Huo Wu felt the preciousness of water for the first time.

Seeing that Huo Wu had recovered her spirits, Quan Yi felt relieved.

"Let's go. We came a little hastily this time. Next time we come, we can prepare more water."

"Okay."

On the way back, Huo Wu was somewhat impatient to discuss things with Quan Yi.

"How is it? Is the effect of the simulated cultivation ground good?"

"Very good, far beyond my expectations. I think I didn't come to the wrong place."

Quan Yi sincerely praised, this praise was not only for the elementary academy, but also for the Scorching Fire Academy.

"Moreover, I am even more interested in the Scorching Fire Academy."

Huo Wu was very happy to hear Quan Yi praise the Scorching Fire Academy so much. As the daughter of the dean of the Scorching Fire Academy, she had a strong sense of belonging to the Scorching Fire Academy.

Hearing Quan Yi express his approval of the Scorching Fire Academy, an undisguised smile appeared on her face.

It was like if something you liked could be liked by a friend, the joy in your heart would be doubled.

"Of course, there are more luxurious simulated cultivation grounds there. The Scorching Fire Academy is the paradise for all fire-attribute soul masters."

Huo Wu introduced the Scorching Fire Academy's cultivation grounds, her tone full of pride.

"No, what I value is not just the simulated environment. What I admire is the vision and layout of the Scorching Fire Academy."

A wise light flashed in Quan Yi's eyes. He was not blinded by the simulated environment, he saw something deeper.

Huo Wu asked in confusion: "What vision and layout?"

Quan Yi patiently explained: "What I admire is that the Scorching Fire Academy dares to spend a huge sum of money to open up underground passages and build a simulated environment cultivation ground for the elementary academy.

This is beneficial to the Scorching Fire Academy.

First, it will attract a large number of children with fire-attribute souls to this city. This is the most important point.

For the academy, the source of students is life.

Second, the Scorching Fire Academy can select and observe talented students from an early age and provide guidance.

In this way, the Scorching Fire Academy can maximize the talent of soul masters. In this way, the strength of the academy will also become stronger and stronger.

Most importantly, the Scorching Fire Academy is still constantly developing and is an active and upward academy. This active and upward atmosphere is more suitable for the long-term development of students."

Quan Yi talked eloquently about his views on the Scorching Fire Academy. At this moment, Huo Wu's expression was somewhat sluggish.

Seeing that Huo Wu was a little stunned, Quan Yi didn't continue talking.

Quan Yi felt that it was a little too early to say these things to a child who hadn't gone to school yet.

"Of course, these are just my own opinions. I'm not sure if they are right or wrong. However, you just need to remember that you must go to the Scorching Fire Academy in the future."

Although Huo Wu's coming to this academy already meant that Huo Wu's family had already planned to let her join the Scorching Fire Academy, Quan Yi still reminded Huo Wu just in case.

"Yeah, I know."

Seeing that Huo Wu had listened to his reminder, a gratified smile appeared on Quan Yi's face.

In fact, through these days of observation, Quan Yi had gained some understanding of the Scorching Fire Academy.

Overall, this was an academy that was still in the process of development and was also ambitious.

From the library to the simulated environment cultivation ground, Quan Yi had discovered that the Scorching Fire Academy had a large layout. It was planning to incorporate the elementary soul master academy into their education system.

Even fire-attribute soul masters with slightly weaker talents would receive better training here.

The existence of the simulated environment would greatly increase the enrollment rate of the elementary academy, and the probability of soul masters breaking through level thirty would also be higher.

Breaking through level thirty before the age of twenty was an important threshold for soul masters.

Even if they didn't break through, these well-trained soul masters could continue to stay in the elementary academy as teachers.

This would also slowly increase the academy's foundation and strength.

Moreover, the influx of fresh blood would make the academy more and more energetic.

Not only that, Quan Yi felt that the academy had an even more important purpose.

In fact, the Scorching Fire Academy was already a very famous academy. Many talented fire-attribute soul masters would consciously join the Scorching Fire Academy when they reached the age.

Therefore, the Scorching Fire Academy didn't actually need to put so much thought into the elementary academy.

But spending so much effort to develop the elementary academy showed that they were dissatisfied with the soul masters trained by other elementary academies.

They wanted to personally intervene and train soul masters that met their requirements.

Although it was unclear what their requirements were, Quan Yi could see the ambition and aspirations of the Scorching Fire Academy from this elementary academy. It had great potential for development.

This was also very rare, because, in fact, both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were declining.

For example, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been gradually declining in recent years and had not made any bright achievements.

In contrast, Quan Yi greatly appreciated the Scorching Fire Academy's vigorous development momentum.

Therefore, Quan Yi reminded Huo Wu because he was afraid that Huo Wu would suddenly choose another academy.

For example, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After all, the hardware of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was indeed very good, and it also had the title of the number one academy in the Heaven Dou Empire.

If Huo Wu chose the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, her development there would definitely not be as good as at the Scorching Fire Academy.
