Huo Wu began to devour the food without any reservation.
After finishing a plate, Huo Wu leaned back with a beaming smile, languidly resting against the wooden chair.
“So satisfied. I can’t eat anymore.”
Huo Wu transformed back into the energetic young woman she was.
Watching Huo Wu's happy expression made Quan Yi smile as well.
“Don't worry, there's plenty of meat left, enough for us to eat for several months.”
Huo Wu straightened up, raised her eyebrows, and asked curiously, “Tell me, how did you get the 50,000-year soul beast meat?”
“It's nothing, I just brought it back when I was obtaining my fifth soul ring,” Quan Yi said nonchalantly.
“Huh! Fifth soul ring? Whose fifth soul ring? Don't tell me it's you…” Huo Wu pointed at Quan Yi incredulously.
Quan Yi nodded faintly.
Huo Wu stood up, quickly walked around the dining table, approached Quan Yi, cupped his face in her hands, and asked worriedly, “You didn't take any of those medicines with side effects, did you?”
“No, I just found a soul bone and some opportunities in Sunset Forest. Not only are there no side effects, but my soul power and martial soul have been greatly purified,”
Quan Yi explained hastily.
Through the contact between their skin, Huo Wu could feel the pure and vast fire-attribute soul power within Quan Yi's body.
“You scared me, but a 50,000-year fifth soul ring, you truly live up to your name.”
At the same moment, Quan Yi could also feel the flame energy within Huo Wu's body.
Through the ability of telepathy, the two could clearly perceive each other's changes.
“Enough about me, your current situation is even more perplexing.”
Huo Wu's changes were too great; her physical development far exceeded that of her peers, even more mature than Qian Renxue, whom they had encountered before.
When he hugged Huo Wu earlier, Quan Yi was shocked by the enormous changes.
Besides the changes in appearance, the changes in strength were the greatest.
The awakening and evolution of her martial soul.
And it was an evolution that occurred without external factors like the Blazing Yang Spring.
The Fire Shadow Martial Soul must hold secrets they didn't yet know.
“Since that evolution, the Fire Shadow's control over flames has greatly increased, and it even has a certain influence on my body in return.”
Huo Wu's body developed more and more rapidly, her physical attributes improved, and her height even surpassed all the males in the team.
Even Ling Yun and Wang Xing, who were tall, were surpassed by Huo Wu.
The growth of her body drove the growth of her shadow.
The larger the shadow, the stronger the martial soul would become.
And the growth of the shadow, in turn, nourished the growth of the body.
They complemented each other, enhancing each other.
Huo Wu still had immense room for growth.
The two hearts grew closer and closer.
Crimson and orange light emanated from their bodies respectively.
Like the aurora in the Arctic night sky.
A blush like the evening glow appeared on Huo Wu's face, but it was just concealed by the light of her soul power.
As the two no longer touched, the light of soul power on their bodies extinguished.
The surging soul power calmed down.
Huo Wu turned around, ran upstairs, and hid in her room.
Quan Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, “That was close.”
The surge of soul power affected his heart, causing it to beat violently, beyond his control.
After clearing the dishes, Quan Yi returned to his room.
After being away for half a year, the room was clean and tidy, without a trace of dust.
“Sniff, sniff.”
However, his room was full of traces of life, and also a familiar fragrance.
Moreover, a large stack of letters was piled on his desk.
These were the letters he had written to Huo Wu.
It was conceivable that Huo Wu had occupied his room during his absence.
Quan Yi brushed his chest with his right hand, and a stack of white papers appeared in his hand.
These were the letters that Huo Wu had sent him.
He had also treasured them carefully.
“My heart is like your heart, I will never fail our love.”
Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Quan Yi secretly made a vow to it.
In the room opposite, Huo Wu covered herself with the bedding, curled up inside, and let out a soft, shy sound.
In her mind, the scene from just now appeared; Quan Yi's gaze revealed a desire that made her heart tremble.
It was the first time she had seen such an expression in Quan Yi's eyes.
While feeling scared, a sense of anticipation arose in her heart.
The next day, early in the morning.
Quan Yi opened the door and happened to run into Huo Wu opposite him.
“Good morning!” Quan Yi waved and greeted.
“Yeah, morning.”
The two greeted each other as if nothing had happened, but there was a hint of imperceptible fatigue in their eyes.
Last night, the two of them didn't sleep all night, and they couldn't even enter meditation because of their fluctuating emotions.
However, having reached their level, not sleeping for one night would not affect their condition in the slightest.
They started the morning training as usual, and after the morning training, they ate breakfast, just like always.
Quan Yi's physical fitness had greatly improved after leveling up.
A load of six thousand kilograms was no longer enough for Quan Yi to reach his limit in a short period of time.
Therefore, he had to add more weight to the refined iron load.
However, compared to these, Huo Wu's performance surprised Quan Yi even more.
During the morning training, Huo Wu also put on a full set of weighted equipment weighing three hundred kilograms.
Although she was only at the Soul Elder stage, being able to wear such a heavy load, apart from Huo Wu's martial soul evolution feeding back to her body, was inseparable from her unremitting efforts over the past five years.
Huo Wu's physical fitness could compete with that of a power attack-type beast soul master of the same level.
Moreover, the growth of Huo Wu's physical attributes was all-round, unlike Quan Yi, who was all biased towards strength.
Agility, speed, endurance, strength, and recovery were all developing upwards in a balanced way.
However, this was only the most superficial part of Huo Wu's progress; her greatest progress was still in her control over flames.
The 'Extreme Flame Bullet' was the embodiment of this.
After the morning training, they ate breakfast together, and everything returned to normal.
Dean's Office.
“You're finally back.”
Wu Jie was also very happy to see Quan Yi.
At the same time, seeing Huo Wu regain her spirit also made him feel gratified.
“During the time you were away, everyone's strength has improved a lot. I hope you didn't neglect your training during the vacation, otherwise, you'll be at a disadvantage.”
Quan Yi smiled confidently and said, “Don't worry, I have also been practicing hard during this time, and I will definitely not disappoint you.”
Feeling the faint and terrifying aura emanating from Quan Yi, Wu Jie cursed Quan Yi for being a freak in his heart.
Just by facing each other, he could feel the sense of oppression from Quan Yi that he had felt from Soul Saints and Soul Douluos.
“That's right, now that you have returned to the team, we can start our next training plan.”
Huo Wu asked curiously, “What exactly is the next training plan?”
The corners of Wu Jie's mouth curled up slightly, and he said firmly, “You have been studying theoretical knowledge related to team battles for a whole year. The next step is to put the theory into action.
The next training plan is very simple, and that is combat.”
