#8 - test

“Five hundred years!” Su Ling'er exclaimed, “Do you know what you're saying? Some Soul Masters' second Soul Rings might not even exceed five hundred years!”

Quan Yi, however, appeared very calm. He replied coolly, “Mother, I am very clear. With my body's strength, five hundred years might not even be my limit.”

“Indeed, your body's strength is comparable to that of an ordinary level twenty auxiliary-type Tool Soul Master.” Quan Yue, unlike Su Ling'er, didn't seem surprised. Instead, he pondered for a moment and realized that Quan Yi's analysis was indeed reasonable. Therefore, he agreed.

Su Ling'er said with a worried expression, “This is different from your previous training. Absorbing Soul Rings has risks. If an accident occurs, you could lose your Martial Soul at best, or die at worst. And once you start absorbing a Soul Ring, even a god can't interfere. Xiao Yi, you don't need to take such a big risk.”

Quan Yi didn't reply, but looked at Su Ling'er with firm eyes. Su Ling'er also met Quan Yi's eyes, and the two fell into a stalemate.

Both wanted to change the other's mind through this method.

At this moment, Quan Yue suddenly spoke, “I agree with your idea.”

Quan Yi looked at Quan Yue in surprise, and was about to thank him, but Quan Yue continued, “However, I have conditions.”

Quan Yi didn't understand what Quan Yue meant, and asked疑惑地问道, “Please tell me your instructions, Father.”

“I have two conditions. First, master the two sets of boxing techniques I teach you within two months. Second, you must obtain the Soul Ring yourself. Your mother and I will only watch from the sidelines.”

“If we intervene, it means you have failed. At that time, I hope you will obediently absorb a four-hundred-year Soul Ring.”

Quan Yi didn't rush to answer, but thought about whether he could complete these two conditions.

Quan Yi believed this was a test. To convince his family, he still had to show his ability. Therefore, after pondering for a while, Quan Yi nodded, indicating that he agreed.

But what they didn't expect was that Quan Yi relied only on his physical strength and didn't use Soul Power. From this, it could be seen that Quan Yi's body strength had reached an unbelievable realm.

Quan Yi walked out of the iron gate. Although only half a day had passed, it felt like a lifetime.

And underground, Su Ling'er was questioning Quan Yue.

“How could you agree to him?” Su Ling'er complained.

“Didn't you notice Xiao Yi's eyes? Those were the eyes of someone who had already made up his mind. Even if we didn't agree, he would definitely do it himself. At that time, the situation would truly be out of our control.”

“Moreover, Xiao Yi is different from ordinary children. Even if you can stop him once, you can't stop him next time. He is destined to leave us and venture out on his own. All we can help him with is experience and skills.”

A look of reluctance appeared in Quan Yue's eyes. Because of family affairs, he couldn't often be with Quan Yi since he was young, and it seemed that the time he could spend with him in the future might be even less.

But if a fledgling eagle wants to soar, parents can't stop him. Quan Yue could only harden his heart and silently watch his child jump off the cliff.

But he wasn't completely helpless. The conditions he proposed were strict, but not impossible to complete. This was a test, but also a teaching.

In this way, Quan Yue could teach his martial skills to Quan Yi. Since he couldn't stop him, he could only help Quan Yi in this way.

At this moment, Quan Yi had already returned to his room. He took out his Soul Beast notes and carefully screened for Soul Beasts that suited him.

He wasn't intimidated by those harsh conditions. His heart, tempered by four years, had become incomparably strong. These difficulties couldn't stop him.

He continuously recorded the qualifying Soul Beasts separately. Fortunately, he had already organized the Soul Beast data before, so Quan Yi quickly completed the screening task.

After finishing, Quan Yi carefully put away the records and took out a new piece of paper.

At this moment, Quan Yi was thinking about his future training plan.

After becoming a Soul Master, Quan Yi had more things to cultivate.

The first was meditation. Soul Power was the most fundamental power of a Soul Master, so meditation was the most important thing in the future.

The second was physical training. As a Power Attack-type Soul Master, physical training was essential, and it was related to whether he could absorb higher-level Soul Rings. It was an important part of his plan.

The third was skill training, including boxing techniques, Soul Power operation, etc. Thinking about it, Quan Yi felt that he didn't have enough time.

Fortunately, meditation in this world could replace sleep to restore the body, but the spirit would be sluggish for a while. In this way, Quan Yi would have a whole day to cultivate.

Quan Yi wrote down everything he thought of on the paper. These were not yet true schedules. He would have to constantly adjust them in future cultivation.

Looking at the preliminary framework in front of him, Quan Yi smiled with satisfaction. With this schedule, Quan Yi knew what he had to do in the future.

After writing, Quan Yi came to the swimming pool and started his noon training. Yesterday, because of the Martial Soul Awakening and the dinner party, he couldn't swim at noon and night. Today, he had to make up for yesterday's exercise.

Moreover, starting tomorrow, Quan Yi would start boxing training. He might not be able to come to the swimming pool for a while. Thinking of this, Quan Yi accelerated his swimming speed.

The next day, early in the morning, Quan Yi came to the basement. He saw Quan Yue sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating Soul Power.

Quan Yue also noticed the movement and slowly opened his eyes.

Quan Yi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, obviously wearing simple clothes to facilitate physical activity.

Quan Yue nodded with satisfaction.

“It seems you are ready. Today, I will first teach you the meditation method, and then pass on our Quan family's ancestral boxing technique.”

“Come, sit here.”

Quan Yue pointed to the futon opposite him, signaling Quan Yi to sit down.

Quan Yi hadn't seen this futon yesterday. It should have been specially prepared for Quan Yi.

Seeing Quan Yi sit down, Quan Yue began to explain the key points of meditation.

There are very few points to pay attention to in meditation. First, you must be calm and perceive the Soul Power in your body. Then, concentrate your mind and circulate the Soul Power in your body. Each cycle will increase your Soul Power.

Quan Yi closed his eyes and quietly sensed the Soul Power in his body. As his mind concentrated, the appearance of the meridians in his body appeared in his mind.

Could this be the legendary introspection?

Moreover, it is said to be meditation, but isn't this the inner strength cultivation method in Wuxia novels?

Why doesn't this world have corresponding cultivation methods, but instead adopts such crude cultivation methods?

Countless doubts arose in Quan Yi's heart.
