First Soul Skill

As soon as Quan Yi opened his eyes, he saw the worried expressions of his parents.

The corners of Quan Yi's mouth lifted. He looked extremely happy.

"I succeeded!"

Su Ling'er asked anxiously, "Does your body feel strange anywhere?"

At that moment, Quan Yi felt as if his entire body was filled with power. His body also felt indescribably light and invigorated.

It was as if he had undergone an extremely powerful massage. Although the process had been incredibly painful, in the end, all the fatigue in his body seemed to have been washed away.

Vast Soul Power flowed through Quan Yi's body like scorching lava. This power had not only transformed Quan Yi's Martial Soul, but also his body.

It had even transformed the obscure areas that were usually difficult for Quan Yi to train, bringing about a comprehensive improvement.

Soul Rings were known as treasures to Spirit Masters. A five-hundred-year Soul Ring could bring about such a tremendous change—what about a Thousand Year or Ten Thousand Years Soul Ring?

Spirit Masters truly were heaven-favored existences in this world.

At that moment, Quan Yi felt that he could challenge a Thousand Year Soul Ring for his Second Soul Ring.

He was extremely satisfied with the changes in his body.

"I feel great. My body has never felt this relaxed before."

Quan Yue and Su Ling'er finally let go of their worries completely.

"Xiao Yi, you've accomplished a historic feat. However, you must remember this: you absolutely cannot let anyone know about this." Quan Yue spoke with a solemn expression.

Quan Yi also understood the principle that a tree that stood out in the forest would be blown down by the wind. This was a feudal society, and enemies did not care about morality. Before he became powerful enough, he could only live discreetly.

"I understand. I'll tell people that it was an Exploding Rhino that was just over four hundred years old. After all, four hundred years is already the most top-tier Soul Ring configuration."

Quan Yue nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Su Ling'er and said, "Ling Er, can you destroy the Exploding Rhino?"

Su Ling'er understood what Quan Yue meant. Her eyes instantly became vertical pupils. Using Lion Claw, she summoned a scorching fireball and threw it over. The flames instantly engulfed the enormous Exploding Rhino, and before long, it was burned to ashes.

Quan Yi felt somewhat pained at the loss of the Exploding Rhino's Soul Beast Meat. However, knowing that destroying it was the safest way to keep their secret, he accepted it.

Only after the body had been destroyed did the entire family finally relax. The solemnity on Quan Yue's face gradually faded, replaced by curiosity. He was somewhat impatient.

"Xiao Yi, quickly show us your First Soul Ring."

At the mention of the First Soul Skill, a smile involuntarily appeared on Quan Yi's face. Quan Yi summoned the Blazing Sun Gauntlets and walked over to a large tree. When he reached it, Quan Yi said excitedly, "My First Soul Skill perfectly inherited the Exploding Rhino's innate Skill. First Soul Skill—Rhino's Mark!"

Quan Yi's First Soul Ring suddenly flashed. He gently pressed his right hand against the tree, then turned and returned to his parents.

Quan Yue and Su Ling'er focused their gazes on the spot Quan Yi had touched.

They saw a dark-red mark appear on the tree's hard outer bark. It looked like a Rhino Horn.

Quan Yi walked back to his parents and turned to watch the mark. Suddenly, the mark exploded, and the thick tree was blown apart.

The explosion's power was impressive, but it was not enough to completely blast the tree apart. However, because the explosion had originated from within, the tree had broken cleanly in two.

Quan Yue and Su Ling'er were dumbfounded.

"This First Soul Skill is far too powerful! Explain it to us in detail." Su Ling'er was practically bursting with impatience.

"Rhino's Mark is placed on a target through contact, after which it causes an explosion. Within fifty meters, I can freely control when the explosion occurs."

"Once the enemy moves beyond fifty meters, the mark will explode automatically. Also, if the mark is placed on someone's body, it will explode directly from within. I believe this is an extremely dangerous Soul Skill."

Quan Yi explained the First Soul Skill in detail. When he finished, Quan Yue and his wife sucked in a cold breath. This Soul Skill was truly terrifying.

Even the two of them would be in great danger if Quan Yi placed a mark on them. Since the explosion originated from within, they would have to use a massive amount of Soul Power to envelop the mark. Otherwise, avoiding injury completely would be impossible.

Against Spirit Masters of the same rank, this Soul Skill was a nightmare.

"Xiao Yi, this Soul Skill is far too dangerous. You must be cautious when using it. Rhino's Mark may only be placed on your enemies."

Quan Yue understood how terrifying this Soul Skill was. Once unleashed, it would inevitably result in death or serious injury. As a Sure-Kill Skill, it was incredibly powerful, but if it were treated as an ordinary Soul Skill, it would be a disaster for the opponent.

Quan Yi understood the might of this Soul Skill. Unless the opponent possessed the same Fire Immunity Attribute as Quan Yi, this Soul Skill could practically be called invincible.

Moreover, even if the opponent possessed the Fire Immunity Attribute, they still could not avoid the impact of the explosion from the outside.

Quan Yi was very satisfied with this Soul Skill. It was simply too costly for his opponents, though, so he might have to use it less in the future.

Quan Yi agreed to Quan Yue's instructions and promised that he would never misuse his First Soul Skill.

Only then did Quan Yue relax. In truth, what Quan Yue was really worried about was not the opponent's safety, but Quan Yi's. If Quan Yi could not control his Soul Skill, he would be completely shunned by society in the future.

Regardless, this Soul Ring hunt had ended perfectly, and the entire Quan family was extremely satisfied.

Quan Yue waved his hand grandly and shouted excitedly, "Let's go! We're heading home. We'll have a proper celebration when we get back."

Quan Yi's expression stiffened. "Father, don't tell me we're holding another family banquet?" Quan Yi did not dislike banquets, but he would be happier if they could avoid one.

"That won't be necessary. A family gathering once in a while is enough. This time, the three of us can celebrate properly on our own."

Since the trial had ended, Quan Yi no longer needed to remain on high alert during the journey back. With a Spirit Master's physical speed, the family reached the village near the forest in less than half a day.

This village had been established by Spirit Masters for the purpose of hunting Soul Beasts. When they came, they had left their Horse Carriage in the village. After resting there for one night, the three of them left early the next morning.

One week later, at night, in Quan Family Territory.

The family sat around the Dining Table, thoroughly enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Quan Yi put a steaming piece of roasted meat into his mouth and began chewing slowly. The abundant juices and intense aroma of the Soul Beast Meat made Quan Yi, who had eaten dried meat for more than a month, feel immensely satisfied.

Halfway through the meal, Quan Yue said, "Xiao Yi, the Junior Soul Master Academy will open in a little over a month. We plan to send you to the Junior Soul Master Academy affiliated with Blazing Fire Academy. Do you have any objections?"

Quan Yi hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth and replied, "I have no objections. I'll be able to learn about Fire-attribute knowledge there."

As one of the Five Element Academies in the Heaven Dou Empire's academic world, Blazing Fire Academy had an extremely deep foundation. Its research and education in fire attributes could be called the strongest in the Heaven Dou Empire.

As the affiliated Junior Soul Master Academy of Blazing Fire Academy, the two had a close relationship. The Primary Academy provided Blazing Fire Academy with a large number of outstanding Fire-attribute Spirit Masters.

The two Academies were located very close to each other. Su Ling'er had said that the students of the Primary Academy could even share the same Simulated Cultivation Environment with the Advanced Academy.
