Training Plan

Night, underground cultivation room.

This was the private cultivation room of the Quan Family Patriarch—in other words, Quan Yi's Father's private cultivation room.

The cultivation room was underground, with only one passage leading inside. Guards stood watch at the entrance at all times.

The cultivation room was filled with all kinds of cold weapons: blades, spears, swords, halberds, armor, and shields. There were so many that they were enough to arm an army of a hundred men.

A tall, powerfully built man sat cross-legged in the center. Although dangerous weapons filled the area around him, they seemed unable to affect him at all. He calmly sat on the ground, cultivating his Soul Power.

This man was the current Patriarch of the Quan Family, as well as Quan Yi's Father—Quan Yue.

Although this was Quan Yue's Cultivation Room, it was also the Armory where the family stored its weapons.

Quan Yue was a fifty-ninth-level Tool Soul Master, thirty-nine years old. His Martial Soul was the Black Iron Gauntlets. He was a Soul King-level Spirit Master.

As for why Quan Yue was meditating and cultivating in the family's Armory, it had to do with the concept of a Simulated Cultivation Environment.

Every Martial Soul had an environment suited to it. Cultivating in that environment often produced twice the results with half the effort.

Quan Yue's Black Iron Gauntlets were protective gear that covered his hands and forearms. The Armory, filled with weapons and armor, perfectly matched the Simulated Cultivation Environment of the Black Iron Gauntlets Martial Soul and could enhance his cultivation efficiency.

"Madam, may I ask what the matter is? The Patriarch has ordered that he not be disturbed except in emergencies."

"I have an important matter. Please inform him for me."

Hearing Madam's order, the guard at the entrance tugged twice on the rope hanging beside the door. The rope was connected to a bell behind the door. Whenever something happened outside, the guard could pull it to alert the person inside.

After a brief wait, the heavy warehouse door opened from within, and a tall figure slowly emerged from underground.

"Ling Er, come in and talk."

After saying that, Quan Yue went back inside. Su Ling'er followed close behind, and then she closed the heavy door again.

After arriving at the underground Cultivation Room, Quan Yue looked gently at Su Ling'er and asked, "Go ahead. It must be something important, right?"

"Sorry, Husband. I know you're in closed-door cultivation to break through your bottleneck, but this matter is too important. I thought you should know about it too."

Su Ling'er immediately told Quan Yue about Quan Yi. After hearing her out, Quan Yue's expression grew solemn. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! As expected of my son, Quan Yue's son! He's only two years old, yet he's already so clever and decisive. Since my son has such ambition, how could I, his father, not give him my full support?"

At that moment, Quan Yue felt an enormous surprise from his son. With the family's affairs keeping him busy, and his recent efforts to break through his Soul Power bottleneck, it was inevitable that he had paid less attention to his son.

But Quan Yi was still young. It would not be too late to spend time with him after Quan Yue broke through. That had been what Quan Yue thought.

But now, Quan Yue felt that he had to take this seriously. Quan Yi already needed his help. If he were absent at this moment, he would miss the most important period of Quan Yi's life.

The next morning.

In the Dining Hall, Quan Yi saw his father, whom he had not seen in a long time. Quan Yi realized that his father must have already found out.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Quan Yue said, "Xiao Yi, I already know about your plan. Your mother and I have had people start building the Swimming Pool. We've decided to let you give it your all."

Quan Yi looked toward his father and saw the seriousness in his eyes. He understood what his father meant. Quan Yi immediately stood up and solemnly bowed to his parents.

"I definitely won't let you down."

After saying that, he took a neatly folded sheet of paper from his robes and handed it to Quan Yue.

"This is my plan. Please take a look."

Quan Yue opened it and saw that the entire sheet was densely covered in writing.

Training Plan

1. Swim three times each in the morning, afternoon, and evening every day. Train until reaching the limit of physical strength.

2. Sleep for at least ten hours every day. Ensure sufficient time for rest and recovery.

3. Maintain adequate nutritional intake every day. Eat three meals a day, and consume sufficient Soul Beast Meat at every meal—preferably from Fire-attribute and Metal-attribute Soul Beasts.

The more Quan Yue read, the more shocked he became. He was especially moved when he saw the part about the Soul Beast Meat and could not help sighing in admiration.

The plan involved expending energy through extreme training, then replenishing it by consuming Soul Beast Meat. Soul Beast Meat contained abundant energy, and continuously consuming the meat of Fire-attribute or Metal-attribute Soul Beasts would certainly have a positive effect on the formation of a Martial Soul.

Even more remarkably, Quan Yi had not forgotten to include time for rest and recovery. Quan Yue himself had only understood the principle of balancing exertion with relaxation after reaching adulthood.

Although the plan was simple, it covered every aspect. It was hard to believe that this plan had been designed by a two-year-old child.

"Xiao Yi, did you really design this yourself? If you can strictly follow this plan, perhaps you really can create a miracle."

Quan Yue felt that he had endured too many shocks in the span of a single day.

"Father, I wrote this after combining the knowledge from the books. The most important part is the Soul Beast Meat. I don't know whether you can provide it for me."

"We can directly buy the Soul Beasts obtained by people in the Soul Hunting Forest after they acquire their Soul Rings. People usually only care about the Spirit Bones and Soul Rings, while neglecting the Soul Beast Meat. We can purchase it there at a low price."

Quan Yue's eyes lit up. Quan Yi had even thought of that. It seemed he had been planning this for a long time. Quan Yue was decisive by nature, so he agreed immediately.

"Good. We'll do as you say. Don't worry. Our Quan Family has some money. Providing food and drink for a child like you will be easy. Quan Yi, you only need to keep moving forward."

His father's deep love made Quan Yi's eyes grow hot. He suddenly felt that choosing to save someone in his previous life had been the best decision he had ever made. Without it, he would never have met his parents. Perhaps this was the reward Heaven had bestowed upon him. At that moment, Quan Yi gained another reason to become a Spirit Master: to protect his family. Only by becoming a Spirit Master would he have the strength to protect them.

The Quan Family worked quickly.

In less than two weeks, a Swimming Pool had been built. It was a single-story swimming facility with a fairly large footprint. Inside was a spacious pool.

The Swimming Pool was built near a small stream, with the pool connected to it. Whenever it needed to be filled, they only had to open the valve upstream, and the water would flow in.

When the pool needed to be cleaned, they could open the downstream valve and let the water flow out through the pipes. This kept the water in the pool clean and clear.

The design embodied the wisdom of the Architect, leaving Quan Yi full of admiration.

During those two weeks, the first batch of Soul Beast Meat had also been delivered to the Quan Family. It had been purchased from the nearest Soul Hunting Forest, but even so, the distance was still considerable.

Considering that the meat might spoil during transport, the Quan Family members immediately salted the Soul Beast Meat in jars, turning it into Cured Meat. This allowed it to be preserved for a longer period.

Everything was ready, and Quan Yi officially began his training career.
