#3 - Four years

Quan Yi's primary task was to learn how to swim.

Whether in his past or present life, he had never swum before.

For the first few weeks, Quan Yi stayed in the water, constantly improving his swimming ability.

Gradually, Quan Yi could float in the water.

Once he could float, he began to move his limbs, controlling himself to swim in the water.

Spending a long time in the water consumed more energy than he imagined, and it was also very beneficial to his bones and joints.

Quan Yi had even greater confidence in his choice.

And the soul beast meat brought Quan Yi a huge surprise.

The marinated soul beast meat, after being carefully roasted by his mother Su Ling'er, immediately became a delicious dish with perfect color, aroma, and taste.

More importantly, after eating a piece of soul beast meat, Quan Yi could faintly feel a warm current coming from his stomach.

As time passed, this warm current slowly spread from his stomach to all parts of his body, greatly relieving his physical fatigue, allowing Quan Yi to train three times a day more efficiently.

Everything was more effective than expected.

After confirming the effect, what Quan Yi had to do was to break through his physical limits and then repair them with soul beast meat.

As long as he kept repeating this process, his physical strength would continue to increase, but this would also be an extremely painful process.

The soul beast meat dishes she made were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, melting in his mouth.

Extreme training, coupled with the amazing soul beast meat and sufficient sleep, Quan Yi's body was transforming at an astonishing speed.

His speed and endurance were constantly increasing.

In order to reach his limit faster, Quan Yi could only constantly change his rhythm, disrupt his breathing, and increase the difficulty.

In this way, training, eating, and resting occupied most of Quan Yi's time.

Moreover, Quan Yi didn't waste the little time he had left.

He used his remaining time to actively collect and learn about soul skills.

As he studied more, Quan Yi began to have a vague understanding of martial souls, soul beasts, and soul rings.

The more he understood, the more Quan Yi yearned for them.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Cool soul skills, fierce soul beasts, and various martial souls, Quan Yi wanted to get in close contact with these, so he had to become a soul master.

These, in turn, stimulated Quan Yi, making him train even harder.

Thus, time passed, and four years flew by.

At the age of six, Quan Yi could swim fifteen hundred meters in less than half an hour.

The total distance he swam in a day reached an astonishing ten thousand meters.

And it wasn't a constant speed of ten thousand meters, but a ten thousand meters of constantly accelerating and changing rhythm.

In the swimming pool, Quan Yi, who had finished his morning training, lazily opened his arms, leaned against the edge of the pool, and quietly enjoyed the peace after the intense exercise.

His constantly rising and falling chest already had obvious muscle lines.

Even more exaggerated were his shoulders, which were extremely broad due to long-term swimming, coupled with his tight waist.

Seeing this body, one couldn't help but think of the phrase 'tiger back and wolf waist'.

His two outstretched arms were even more bulging with veins, with clear and smooth lines.

This body had been honed to perfection.

All of this was the result of Quan Yi's hard work over the past four years.

Today was the day Quan Yi had been dreaming of, the day of martial soul awakening.

Everything would be revealed on this day.

Su Ling'er, as usual, walked to Quan Yi with a stack of dry towels in her hands and handed the towels to Quan Yi.

"Xiao Yi, today is the clan's martial soul awakening day, you don't need to swim anymore today, right?"

Su Ling'er's eyes were full of relief.

The sweat that Quan Yi had put in during these four years, although it had flowed into the sea along the stream, Su Ling'er would never forget it.

If it weren't for keeping it a secret, Su Ling'er would have wanted to boast about her excellent son to outsiders long ago.

Today was the day of verification.

But incredibly, there was not a trace of worry in Su Ling'er's heart.

The only thing vaguely existing in her heart was expectation.

She couldn't wait to see her son create a miracle on this day.

"Mother, I'm used to it.

If I don't swim, I'll feel a little uneasy."

Although today was the day, Quan Yi didn't have the slightest look of nervousness or wavering.

He talked to his mother very calmly.

The four years of life had not only trained Quan Yi's body but also trained Quan Yi's spirit.

This was a journey of tempering the mind.

No one can perceive innate soul power.

This kind of training without feedback is like running in the dark.

You don't know where you are going, but you can only hold on to your faith and run firmly.

There have been several times when I wanted to give up in my heart.

But Quan Yi relied on his perseverance to cut off all the confusion.

By the day of awakening, Quan Yi had already done everything he could do perfectly.

After that, it depends on the outcome.

"Mother, I'm hungry.

I feel like I can eat two big plates of soul beast meat today."

Su Ling'er saw Quan Yi talking to her,

"Let's go, I've already made today's breakfast.

I stewed the remaining metal and fire soul beast meat together.

You can eat as much as you want."

In the restaurant, his mother brought a plate the size of a washbasin.

Inside were piles of meat chunks like a mountain, the color was attractive, and the aroma was overwhelming.

Quan Yi couldn't help but salivate and have a big appetite, and couldn't wait to eat heartily.

After enjoying this rich breakfast, Quan Yi felt unparalleled satisfaction and happiness.

At this time, Quan Yue walked in from outside.

"Xiao Yi, the carriage is ready.

You can leave at any time when you are ready."

"Father, I'm ready, we can leave."

Quan Yue looked at Quan Yi.

He originally wanted to encourage his son, but when he saw Quan Yi's calm expression, Quan Yue knew that Quan Yi didn't need comfort.

"This kid can maintain a normal heart at this time, he is worthy of being my son."

Quan Yue thought so in his heart.

Quan Yue was only proud of Quan Yi.

He knew that his son had put in a lot of effort for this, and he firmly believed that his son would be able to create a miracle.

"Okay, let's go then.

Let us shock the world."

"Yes."

A flame was quietly burning in Quan Yi's eyes.

Outside the Martial Soul Sub-Hall.

All eligible children in the city will gather together.

They were quietly waiting for the appearance of the Martial Soul Hall personnel.

The parents also looked anxiously at their children, hoping that their children would awaken powerful martial souls and be able to become soul masters.

Among this group of children, there was a vacuum area, a tall figure, standing alone here.

Quan Yi inherited his parents' height.

Although he was only six years old, he was already the height of a ten-year-old child.

Moreover, years of training have made his figure even thicker.

A thin piece of clothing could not conceal the full and smooth muscles on his body.

In addition, the powerful and steady aura emanating from Quan Yi forced back the surrounding children.

The scorching sun scorched the earth.

The Martial Soul Hall personnel, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the door, allowing the children who had been waiting for a long time to enter in an orderly manner.

Soon, the martial soul awakening ceremony officially began.
