Huo Wu shot Huo Wushuang a vicious glare, making her displeasure clear.
Huo Wushuang held back his laughter and explained to Quan Yi, "Brother, my little sister is a new student this year, not your senior."
Quan Yi widened his eyes and carefully studied Huo Wu, who was about the same height as Huo Wushuang.
He could not really be blamed for failing to recognize it. In his eyes, children under twelve all looked about the same age, and he could only judge by their height.
But then he thought of how his own height was far beyond others his age, and he immediately felt relieved.
"Sorry, that was my mistake," Quan Yi sincerely apologized to Huo Wu.
Huo Wu, who had been a little unhappy at first, saw him apologize so sincerely and instead felt somewhat embarrassed.
And looking at Quan Yi in front of her, Huo Wu felt a strange sense of peace in her heart.
Huo Wu replied hastily, "It's fine. It's not the first time anyway. Just pay attention next time."
Only after seeing that she had forgiven him did Quan Yi relax.
But the moment he relaxed, a huge rumble came from Quan Yi's stomach.
"Gurgle~"
Quan Yi was made rather awkward by his ill-timed stomach.
However, after training at noon, Quan Yi had not eaten a single bite before getting into another fight. Right now was when he was at his hungriest and most exhausted.
In other words, Quan Yi had fought his opponent while in his worst condition. From this, one could see just how confident Quan Yi was in his own strength.
At this moment, Huo Wushuang burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, brother, we siblings haven't eaten yet either. We can eat and talk at the same time. What do you think?"
Huo Wushuang had grown curious about Quan Yi and developed the thought of befriending him.
Quan Yi nodded and agreed. "Sure. I can treat you to a meal while I'm at it."
"Good. Many thanks, brother. In that case, it would be rude to refuse." Huo Wushuang did not decline and instead accepted straightforwardly.
Huo Wu at the side also nodded along, indicating her agreement.
The three of them walked into the Dining Hall together. At this moment, the way the people around them looked at Quan Yi had changed. It was a kind of respect toward the strong. Quan Yi's powerful strength had won these people over.
Of course, that also included Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. Otherwise, the two of them would not have chosen to accept Quan Yi's invitation.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang did not eat very much, just a normal amount, except Huo Wu ate about the same as Huo Wushuang.
The three of them sat at one table. Huo Wushuang sat across from Quan Yi, while Huo Wu sat beside Huo Wushuang.
Quan Yi took out his Soul Beast Meat jar and began eating by himself.
It was still that strange way of eating.
In addition, the amount of Soul Beast Meat Quan Yi had was planned out. It was not that he was stingy, but if he gave some away, he would have to eat one meal less.
One less meal meant one less training session, and in that case, the speed at which Quan Yi grew stronger would slow down.
Moreover, Soul Beast Meat involved Quan Yi's plans, so he had even less reason to give it to outsiders.
Although Huo Wushuang was surprised by Quan Yi's actions, he noticed something else.
Huo Wushuang had not expected that this plainly dressed brother was actually someone who kept his abilities hidden.
Just from the Storage Soul Tool alone, it could be seen that his family background was not simple. Huo Wushuang increasingly felt that Quan Yi was somewhat mysterious.
Although Quan Yi ate a lot and chewed many times, his eating speed was not slow. After all, the amount he put into his mouth at once was several times more than an ordinary person.
Therefore, he was basically eating at about the same speed as the Huo siblings.
When they had more or less finished eating, Huo Wushuang was the first to speak. "Brother Quan Yi, my name is Huo Wushuang. I'm nine years old this year. My Martial Soul is the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon, and I'm a rank twenty-one Soul Grandmaster.
Beside me is my little sister, Huo Wu. She's six years old. Her Martial Soul is Fire Shadow. It's a shadow with Huo Wu herself as the Main Body, a special Beast Martial Soul. Also, don't be fooled by her young age. She is already a rank twelve one-ring Soul Grandmaster.
May I ask what grade you're in, brother? How come I've never seen you at the Academy before?"
Huo Wushuang very formally introduced his and Huo Wu's names, ages, and Soul Power Levels. Moreover, when Huo Wushuang introduced Huo Wu, his face was full of pride and affection.
Then Huo Wushuang went on to raise the question that puzzled him most.
Seeing that the other party had misunderstood his age, Quan Yi hurriedly explained, "Senior, Senior Huo, you've misunderstood. I'm the same as your sister, also a new student. I'm only six this year."
"What!"
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang cried out in unison.
"You're a new student?" Looking at the boy in front of him, who was clearly a head taller than himself, Huo Wushuang found it somewhat hard to believe.
"Yes." Quan Yi scratched his head. He also knew very well that his build really did not look like that of a six-year-old. Sometimes, when Quan Yi looked in the mirror, even he would feel confused.
Mentally, he was over twenty years old. Physically, he was six. But when he looked in the mirror, he resembled a teenager.
"Then you're six this year?" Huo Wushuang pressed.
"Yes."
Only then did Huo Wushuang notice an even more astonishing point.
"You're already rank fifteen at six years old?"
Quan Yi nodded.
Huo Wushuang could be considered experienced and knowledgeable, and his own talent was quite good, but faced with an "outlier" like Quan Yi, it was inevitable that he would take a blow.
Huo Wu, standing to the side, was even more so.
Huo Wu herself was a genius soul master. She had even awakened the powerful and special martial soul Fire Shadow, and her Innate Soul Power level was extremely high.
She was a true favored child of heaven.
But compared with Quan Yi, Huo Wu not only had a lower Soul Power Level, her physical quality was also inferior, and she could not help feeling a gap in her heart.
Huo Wu asked somewhat urgently, "What Soul Beast was your First Soul Ring?"
Huo Wushuang had never seen Huo Wu act so impulsively, but he still quickly pressed a hand on Huo Wu's shoulder, wanting her to calm down.
Then he apologized to Quan Yi. "Sorry. No offense intended."
Huo Wushuang hurriedly signaled for Huo Wu to apologize, and Huo Wu also understood that her tone had been a little aggressive, so she immediately apologized sincerely.
"I'm sorry."
But her eyes remained fixed on Quan Yi, as if she wanted to see through the secrets on him.
"It's actually nothing much. Four months ago, I absorbed a four-hundred-year Exploding Rhino soul ring. So my soul power just increased a little quickly."
Quan Yi casually gave the explanation he had prepared. After all, this could not really be considered a secret.
"Exploding Rhino! That's a powerful and rare Soul Beast. The quality of its soul power and the difficulty of absorbing it both surpass ordinary Soul Beasts of the same years. No wonder."
Although Huo Wushuang was somewhat surprised, he was even more envious. He envied not only Quan Yi's talent, but also Quan Yi's luck.
Huo Wushuang liked Exploding Rhinos very much, because Exploding Rhinos matched his martial soul extremely well.
His martial soul, the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon, was a Fire-attribute martial soul that followed the explosion path, and it also happened to have a single horn. As a soul ring, it would definitely bring him an incomparably powerful soul ring skill.
So the Exploding Rhino could be considered the Soul Beast he had dreamed of obtaining.
"You're really lucky. I've looked for Exploding Rhinos too, but in the end, I still couldn't find one."
Although Huo Wu had never heard of the Exploding Rhino, she could tell from Brother's expression that it had to be a powerful Soul Beast.
Moreover, compared with the excited Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu noticed another piece of information in Quan Yi's words.
That was the information that it had been four months ago.
Spirit Hall's Martial Soul Awakening Day was generally arranged three or four months earlier. This was to coordinate with the start of the term at Junior Soul Master Academy.
Even if Quan Yi's birthday was relatively early, and he had been born in January, that would still only make it three or four months.
Obtaining a First Soul Ring three or four months after awakening his martial soul meant that Quan Yi's Innate Soul Power level was either equal to hers, or even higher than hers.
But Huo Wu herself was a genius with Innate Soul Power level nine. Could Quan Yi be Innate Full Soul Power? If her guess was true, Huo Wu looked at Quan Yi, somewhat astonished.
