Speculation on Martial Soul Fusion Skills
Huo Wu was a girl who could not hide what was on her mind.
She asked Quan Yi outright, "Do you have Innate Full Soul Power?"
Quan Yi was somewhat amazed by how quickly she reacted.
"Yes." Quan Yi did not hide it either. He continued, "Innate Full Soul Power isn't that big a deal. Isn't your own Innate Soul Power around rank nine too? The gap between us isn't very large."
Just as Huo Wu had guessed Quan Yi's situation, Quan Yi had also guessed her Innate Soul Power through her age and Soul Power Level.
Sure enough, Huo Wu found that the truth was just as she had expected, but she did not feel happy. Instead, a sense of crisis swept over her.
Huo Wu began reflecting on whether she had grown a little lax. She found it somewhat hard to accept that Quan Yi's level was so much higher than hers.
Seeing that Huo Wu's expression seemed a little unnatural, Quan Yi turned his confused gaze to Huo Wushuang and, with his eyes, subtly asked what was wrong with Huo Wu.
Huo Wushuang merely smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.
This left Quan Yi completely puzzled.
Of course Huo Wushuang knew what was wrong with Huo Wu. Simply put, his family's proud Little Princess had been stimulated.
In Huo Wushuang's view, this was a good thing. Besides, the two of them would definitely be in the same class in the future, so it was better for her to be stimulated sooner rather than later.
Moreover, Huo Wushuang also knew that Huo Wu was not a fragile girl and did not need his comfort.
However, Huo Wu did indeed need some time to digest it.
Huo Wushuang stood up, pulled the absentminded Huo Wu to her feet, and said goodbye to Quan Yi.
"Brother Quan Yi, we should be going too. Thank you for your hospitality. If anything comes up in the future, you can come find me. Next time, it'll be my treat."
Huo Wu had not expected Huo Wushuang to leave so soon either, so she could only hurriedly wave goodbye to Quan Yi.
Quan Yi quickly waved as well and said, "Goodbye."
Quan Yi felt that neither of them was a bad person. Besides, he would be in the same class as Huo Wu in the future, so getting to know them in advance was not a bad thing.
Watching the two walk away, Quan Yi also stood up, intending to go handle his own matters.
Quan Family Boutique.
This was a new shop that had been open for less than two months. Inside were all kinds of exquisite clothing, handicrafts, and more. The goods were not only beautiful and affordable, but the storefront was also located in the Core Area, where foot traffic was high.
Just from the store's location, one could see the financial strength behind this shop.
Inside the manager's office of the boutique, Quan Yi was speaking with a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Young Master, may I ask what instructions you have?"
The middle-aged man was the Shopkeeper of this store, as well as a member of the Quan family responsible for taking care of Quan Yi. Quan Yi's Soul Beast Meat, his daily expenses, and so on were all handled by this man.
"Uncle Quan Ying, I came mainly for two things this time. The first concerns a student named Sun Jie. Help me warn the family behind him."
When Quan Yi said this, an unprecedentedly cold expression appeared on his face.
When Quan Ying saw Quan Yi's expression, he roughly understood the cause of the matter.
"Yes, understood, Young Master." Quan Ying did not ask further.
"The other matter is that I want to know all information about Yu Xiaogang, as well as all of his writings."
Quan Yi's main purpose was actually still the first matter, but since he had come, he intended to use the family's power to help him gather some information about Yu Xiaogang.
As for Sun Jie, Quan Yi guessed that he probably came from a family or noble house with some influence, but their strength still could not compare to the Quan family's.
Quan Yi had never forgotten that this was the medieval era. Even the smallest crack could become the seed of hatred. Therefore, he had deliberately used the family's strength to issue a warning.
This was also because Sun Jie had not known any better and so could not truly be blamed. Otherwise, it would not have been as simple as a warning.
Uncle Quan Ying had been specially arranged by his father to stay by his side, and Quan Yi trusted his ability.
After making the arrangements, Quan Yi did not linger and immediately left the shop.
Looking at the swift, decisive, and incomparably cold Young Master, Quan Ying gained a new understanding of his family's Young Master.
He had not expected that apart from talent, Quan Yi's personality would be so cold and ruthless as well.
At this moment, he became completely convinced that the Young Master would be the next pillar leading the Quan family to rise.
Quan Ying intended to carry out perfectly the first order the Young Master had given him.
By the time he returned to the Academy, the sun had already begun to set. Quan Yi had originally planned to visit the Simulated Environment for cultivation, but because of this incident, the entire afternoon had passed just like that.
Quan Yi did not go anymore. Instead, he practiced his fist techniques. Then, after dinner, he returned to the Dormitory.
At dinner, Quan Yi did not see Huo Wu or Huo Wushuang.
Thinking of how they had left in a hurry at noon, he figured they probably had something to deal with and did not think much of it.
Quan Yi returned to the Dormitory, took a bath, then lay comfortably on the bed, thinking back on the events of the day.
Although it had been somewhat busy, overall, it had been a fulfilling day.
Quan Yi had made two major gains. One was Yu Xiaogang, and the other was Huo Wu.
If Quan Yi had stayed at home all this time, he definitely would not have come into contact with Yu Xiaogang's books. With all their unorthodox theories, his family certainly would not have let him touch them.
And Huo Wu was even more of a surprise.
The Fire Shadow Martial Soul—though Quan Yi had not seen it with his own eyes, the special feeling he sensed from Huo Wu should not have been wrong.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
A Fire-attribute humanoid martial soul and a Fire-attribute Gauntlets Martial Soul—there could be no martial souls more compatible than these.
Of course, all of this was still only Quan Yi's feeling and speculation, but the possibility was very high.
The Huo siblings, however, did not seem to have realized this. Quan Yi did not point it out either. After all, they had only met today. There would be a long time for them to get along afterward, and Quan Yi did not want to rush things.
After summing up the day's gains, Quan Yi rose and sat cross-legged, beginning tonight's meditation.
At the same time, elsewhere, in Huo Wu's dorm room.
Huo Wu was also meditating, and she had already been training for a long time.
After returning to her dorm room at noon, Huo Wu had been unable to sit still. Quan Yi's appearance had truly dealt Huo Wu a fierce blow.
Huo Wu did not stay dispirited for long. Instead, this blow ignited her refusal to admit defeat.
And so, Huo Wu trained bitterly for the entire afternoon.
She normally had a fixed training schedule, but today Huo Wu had already exceeded the time she had set for herself.
This was also Huo Wu's first time meditating for such a long stretch, and her meditation was interrupted many times in between. But whenever her meditation was interrupted, Quan Yi's figure would surface in Huo Wu's mind.
Yet this instead reminded Huo Wu that she still had a target to chase, and she immediately became diligent again, starting her meditation anew.
Sometimes, the appearance of a rival would instead bring out a person's potential.
Huo Wu's meditation gradually entered a better state. It was no longer interrupted midway, and relying on her refusal to lose, Huo Wu trained through the entire night.
Just like that, the two of them passed the quiet night in training.
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
A new day had begun.
Quan Yi finished his morning exercises as usual and came to the dining hall. This time, Quan Yi had simply taken off his shirt and exercised bare-chested, so his clothes were not wet.
Inside the dining hall, Quan Yi saw Huo Wu again.
But today, Huo Wu looked somewhat listless. Her head hung low, and she no longer had the poised bearing she had shown yesterday.
Huo Wu seemed to sense something as well. She suddenly raised her head and looked toward Quan Yi, and their gazes collided directly.
