Limit Test
A small open space within the territory.
There is a small waterfall where clear spring water flows down from a small cliff and eventually gathers into a small pool.
But the babbling brook, at this moment, is creating ripples due to the vibrations of the ground and the air.
"Bang, bang"
A series of rapid, muffled sounds broke the morning's tranquility.
By the puddle, Quan Yi and Quan Li were exercising.
Their figures intertwined, their fists creating afterimages as they collided.
The water ripples were caused by the shockwave from the collision of the two individuals.
The dark red steel that Quan Yi gathered in his hands collided with the dark black steel of Quan Li, producing a tremendous sound.
"So hard."
With each collision, Quan Yi's fist felt like it had hit a block of iron, and his knuckles ached.
The hardness of Quan Yi's hardness and the hardness of Quan Li's hardness are fundamentally different.
This difference is like the difference between Refined Iron and Iron Essence.
"Not bad. It seems that you haven't neglected your boxing practice. Your foundation is very solid, and you've chosen wide-ranging moves based on your own strengths."
It has a lot of momentum and power, but it lacks some skills to overcome the strong with the weak.
This is related to your lack of sparring with strong opponents.
While taking advantage of Quan Yi's fierce offensive, Quan Li leisurely commented on Quan Yi's moves.
The sharp-eyed Quan Li immediately noticed Quan Yi's weakness in his boxing technique: he was too forceful and lacked flexibility.
"However, this is understandable. Xiao Yi's strength is already unparalleled among his peers. Even Spirit Master of the same age or even a level higher than him may not be able to put pressure on him," Quan Li thought to himself.
In addition to a solid foundation, progress in boxing requires extensive real combat experience, and it must be against strong opponents.
Only in this way can boxing techniques evolve under pressure.
However, given Quan Yi's circumstances, finding an equally matched opponent is not an easy task.
Quan Yi's every punch possesses the power of Spirit Saint.
Even he dared not relax his guard without summoning his Martial Soul.
After half an hour of sparring, Quan Li suddenly stopped.
"Alright, we have other tests to do next. Let's end today's fist technique training here."
Quan Yi has an important test today.
That is to determine one's own limits.
Previously, at Huo Wu's home, he had been subjected to the pressure of Huo Wuxie's Soul Power, but at that time, the pressure of Soul Power at the Spirit Saint level did not force Quan Yi to his limit.
Understanding one's own limits before absorbing Soul Ring will help Quan Yi choose the appropriate age.
Therefore, Quan Yi deliberately released control over the Soul Power Crystal this morning to deal with the test in the most complete form.
"Are you ready?" Quan Li asked.
"I'm ready, Grandpa." A glint of light flashed in Quan Yi.
Quan Li began to release the pressure of his Soul Power.
"Let's start from level 30 then."
Instantly, a powerful aura erupted from Quan Li's body.
Quan Yi's entire body was oppressed by a Energy Fluctuation.
However, with Quan Yi's abnormally strong physique, level 30 had no effect whatsoever; Quan Yi didn't even need to circulate his Soul Power.
"Level 40".
Quan Li instantly raised his level to the same level as Quan Yi's Soul Power Level.
But Quan Yi still didn't react.
A strange light flashed in Quan Li's eyes. Then, he increased the level of Soul Power pressure once again.
Level 50.
Instantly reaching Level 50, Quan Yi's body began to feel a powerful sense of pressure.
A year ago, Quan Yi was forced to circulate his Soul Power by Huo Wuxie when he was at Level 50.
But within a year, his physical strength improved significantly.
He usually trains with a weight of up to 2,000 kilograms, and his Physical Quality has doubled compared to a year ago.
Level 57.
Only then did Quan Yi begin to circulate his own Soul Power.
After circulating his Soul Power, the squeezing force immediately eased considerably.
Level 70.
Under immense pressure, all of Quan Yi's consciousnesses merged into one, and his Divine Power became highly concentrated.
Soul Power, under the control of powerful Divine Power, circulates rapidly along the meridians to resist external pressure.
Level 75.
Starting from level 70, each level up becomes a heavy burden.
The speed at which his Soul Power circulated was nearing its limit. Quan Yi could feel his Martial Soul stirring restlessly, and the pressure from external forces was forcing his Martial Soul to manifest.
Quan Yi's body also began to tremble under the immense pressure.
"Level 77."
Finally, at a level close to that of Soul Douluo Contra master.
Unable to withstand the pressure, the Martial Soul within his body erupted from within.
As his Martial Soul and Soul Ring manifested, a scorching aura erupted from Quan Yi's entire body.
It once suppressed Quan Li's Soul Power, forcing it to the surface of his body, allowing Quan Yi to catch his breath for a moment.
After summoning Martial Soul, the Martial Soul will amplify all of the Spirit Master's attributes. At the same time, Soul Ring will also provide attribute amplification to the Spirit Master.
The combination of these two factors gave Quan Yi the strength to persevere.
Is this Xiao Yi's Martial Soul?
This was also the first time Quan Li had ever seen Quan Yi's Martial Soul.
The pure and powerful Fire-attribute aura was more pronounced than any Fire-attribute Spirit Master he had ever encountered.
Moreover, the Gauntlet faintly emitted a heavy, dark gold aura, which surprised Quan Li.
Although the dark gold aura was masked by the intense heat of the flames, the keen Quan Li still detected the anomaly.
It reminded Quan Li of the Clear Sky Hammer, the Number One Tool Martial Soul Under Heaven in the world, which is also known as the Ultimate Power Tool Martial Soul.
"Its powerful aura is in no way weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer. It truly lives up to its reputation as a Mutated Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power."
Quan Li actually has a misunderstanding, which is that Quan Yi's Gauntlet undergoes a transformation during the process of absorbing the Soul Ring.
During the process of absorbing Soul Ring, it is actually the Martial Soul that absorbs more of the Soul Ring's attributes.
With the amplification of both strength and fire attributes, Quan Yi's Martial Soul evolved.
"Eighty, level eighty."
At this moment, Quan Li could no longer hide the shock in his heart.
The pressure of level 80 Soul Power couldn't even overwhelm a level 40 character who hadn't absorbed Soul Ring yet.
"Do you want to continue? With your current condition, absorbing Soul Ring under 50,000 years old is not a problem at all."
"No, Grandpa, I want to know exactly where my limit is right now." Quan Yi's expression was determined. Having already persevered to this point, Quan Yi wanted to thoroughly test his limits.
"Alright, then prepare yourself mentally. Starting from level 80, the level of pressure will be vastly different at each level."
"I'm ready." Quan Yi's voice trembled slightly, but it was unusually firm.
"Level 81".
A sudden burst of intense pressure caused Quan Yi's knees to bend slightly.
Even though it was just a one-level advancement, it felt like a small mountain was pressing down on him. But thankfully, Quan Yi persevered through sheer willpower.
"Level 82".
The oppressive feeling that had been forced out of his body plunged Quan Yi into pain once again.
The meridians were also nearing their limit under the combined pressure of the rapidly circulating Soul Power inside and the external forces.
He was like a balloon being squeezed by a pair of large hands, his back and knees slowly bending.
