Today's combat training was originally arranged by Wu Jie to assess everyone's specific progress.
Especially to determine Quan Yi's strength improvement.
However, due to Huo Wu's resistance to the Fire Ring, the battle ended in an unexpected way.
With the battle over, Wu Jie didn't arrange any further training, as it was already meaningless.
Therefore, he directly announced the end and, unusually, gave everyone a week's vacation.
The team members were greatly surprised by this. Since the team's establishment, apart from when they were forced to stop training to obtain Soul Rings, they hadn't stopped their arduous training for a single day.
In addition to the academy's training arrangements, they were also secretly adding extra training on their own, which allowed their strength to improve far beyond Wu Jie's expectations.
It just so happened that Quan Yi also had things to do in the city.
The next morning, Quan Yi opened his eyes from his large bed.
However, his expression was somewhat solemn.
After a night of meditation, he realized something that made him feel a little helpless.
A whole night of cultivation was not even half as efficient as before.
It should be known that the higher the level, the more Soul Power needs to be accumulated to break through each level.
Originally, the further a Soul Master progressed, the more time it would take to increase their level. Now that Quan Yi's own cultivation speed has decreased, Quan Yi's level-up speed will drop to a despairing level.
As for the reason for this phenomenon, Quan Yi also had some guesses.
That is, his Soul Power purity is too high. After his body absorbs external elements, he will filter and refine them, so only a small portion of the absorbed elements can be retained in his body.
The only solution is for Quan Yi to go to the academy's underground lava veins and enter a top-level simulated environment cultivation state to barely maintain the normal cultivation speed of others.
Regarding the current situation, Quan Yi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
However, the Soul Power cultivated in this state is indeed more condensed and powerful than others.
From a long-term perspective, it should have other unseen benefits for him.
But the slowdown in Soul Power improvement speed cannot be ignored.
"Ha~, there are gains and losses. I won't think about it anymore."
Quan Yi patted his cheeks, making his stiff cheeks softer.
Coincidentally, Huo Wu's voice came from outside the door.
"Xiao Yi, hurry up. After we finish eating, we still have many places to shop."
Huo Wu's urging voice came.
Quan Yi jumped out of bed, "Coming, coming."
Sous City, inner city.
The city's largest women's clothing store.
Quan Yi was sitting on the sofa in the VIP room, waiting for Huo Wu to come out of the fitting room.
"Click!"
The sound of the door opening rang out, and a beautiful figure walked out of the fitting room.
"Tap, tap, tap"
The light-colored floor-length dress swayed gently with her nimble steps.
The long skirt was inlaid with red silk, which not only complemented the girl's dark red long hair but also added a touch of agility to her elegance.
The well-fitting clothes clung to her graceful waist, perfectly displaying the girl's perfect figure.
The girl's eyes were as clear as spring water, untouched by a trace of dust.
Her pink lips held a slight smile, and Quan Yi suddenly felt his breathing stop.
Huo Wu walked lightly to Quan Yi's front and turned around in place. Her long hair and long skirt floated a charming fragrance in front of Quan Yi, making him intoxicated.
"How is it!"
Huo Wu asked playfully.
"Beautiful."
Quan Yi blurted out, but his eyes were fixed on Huo Wu and couldn't move away.
Seeing Quan Yi being so stunned, Huo Wu had the idea of teasing him.
"Are you talking about the clothes or me."
Although her tone was very ordinary, there was a hint of dangerous light hidden in her eyes.
However, Quan Yi didn't notice this.
"Of course, it's you. This dress will only attract my attention when you wear it."
When answering, Quan Yi was sincere and without a trace of falsehood.
Huo Wu could feel it. Therefore, hearing Quan Yi's answer, her cheeks turned red instead.
"Hehe, I'll let you pass this time."
"You've tried on so many, which one do you like?" Quan Yi asked.
Behind Quan Yi was a long mobile rack with dozens of various women's clothes hanging on it.
Huo Wu's height is over meters. If you want to find women's clothing that suits her, only the largest clothing store in the city has so many suitable clothes.
Huo Wu tapped her chin with her finger, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled sweetly: "All of them."
"All of them?" Quan Yi was surprised.
Huo Wu nodded affirmatively.
Walking out of the clothing store, the waiter behind her showed a bright smile, "Welcome to both of you, and we look forward to your visit again."
Quan Yi smiled and nodded, but his heart was bleeding.
This was the first time he had spent so many Gold Soul Coins on things other than cultivation.
Each piece of clothing cost at least one hundred Gold Soul Coins or more. All of them added up to several thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Fortunately, Quan Yi had saved all his pocket money over the years, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to come up with so many Gold Soul Coins all at once.
But when Quan Yi saw Huo Wu's happy expression, he didn't feel any heartache at all.
A unique fashion show, and it was prepared especially for him, a little money is not worth mentioning.
Quan Yi looked at the sky. The sun was beginning to set. They had spent a long time in the clothing store.
"It's almost time. Let's go back."
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Huo Wu suggested returning.
"I have a place I want to take you to see."
Quan Yi took Huo Wu's arm and walked towards a certain place.
Dusk was approaching, and lights began to light up everywhere in the city.
But the density of the lights became sparser as they moved towards the edge of the city.
This was especially obvious when looking down from high in the sky.
Above the city, a small black object was flying across the sky at high speed.
"Wow! So fast, so high."
Passing through the sound of the wind, Huo Wu's crisp voice entered Quan Yi's ears.
The strange object in the sky was Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
Quan Yi's lower body turned into black flames, while Huo Wu was being carried in a princess carry by Quan Yi's upper body.
Huo Wu tightly wrapped her arms around Quan Yi's neck, excitedly overlooking the city.
Her heart was both nervous and happy.
"How is it? The city seen from the sky is different, right?"
Quan Yi asked in Huo Wu's ear.
"It's great!"
Huo Wu replied loudly.
The speed of the lightning-fast flight messed up her hair, but Huo Wu felt an unprecedented sense of freedom from it.
The flames on Quan Yi's lower body suddenly became more intense, and the speed increased further, flying towards the edge of the city.
Yuan's Blacksmith Shop.
In the half year that Quan Yi was away, Yuan the Blacksmith, under his leadership, had been maintaining his research on firearms and minerals.
At a time when other blacksmiths had gone home to rest, Yuan the Blacksmith did not rest but was doing his own research in the laboratory.
Just as he was studying various blueprints, a familiar sound came from outside the door.
"Yuan the Blacksmith, long time no see."
Yuan the Blacksmith walked quickly to the door, pushed it open, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Young Master."
