Return to Old Ground

Moreover, Quan Yi invested all the research and development funds accumulated in the previous years into the Soul Guidance Armor.

This research and development funding is enormous, amounting to tens of millions of Gold Soul Coin.

When Quan Yi slammed the funds onto Lou Gao's table, Lou Gao immediately remarked that he had never fought a battle with such a large sum of money.

With such a huge investment, Lou Gao simply waved his hand and bought up all the Rare Metal accumulated by the Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City.

Moreover, he specifically entrusted his disciple to keep an eye out for the various Rare Metal sold at the Gengxin City Auction House.

Whether it's Deep Sea Sinking Silver or Cold Heart Iron Essence, as long as he needs it, he can buy it without even asking the price.

From then on, countless Rare Metal were continuously transported from Gengxin City to Lou Gao's Forging Room, which provided Lou Gao with various experimental data.

Furthermore, Lou Gao's previous improvements to the Steam Engine structure more than doubled the efficiency of the Steam Forging Hammer.

With the help of the Steam Engine, Lou Gao's research is progressing at an astonishing pace.

However, he still needs some time to construct the perfect armor in his mind.

Once Lou Gao had gathered all the information about Quan Yi, he became completely immersed in his research.

Although, at Quan Yi's insistence, Lou Gao ensured a healthy work-rest schedule.

But apart from that, he spent all his time in the Forging Room and didn't go anywhere else.

In contrast, aside from initially participating in a portion of the forging process, Quan Yi Quan Yi over the forging task entirely to Lou Gao.

Quan Yi handed over the work of the manufacturing Production Line that was left behind by the Lou Gao to Blacksmith Yuan.

After finishing the production of the Maxim Machine Gun, Blacksmith Yuan had a lot of free time and could take over this task.

Blacksmith Yuan's skills have improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, and because he has always been by Quan Yi's side, he is very clear about his intentions.

Developing the Production Line will also be a challenge for Blacksmith Yuan.

However, Quan Yi, who knew Blacksmith Yuan's character well, knew that he could withstand such difficulties.

Due to the appearance of Soul Guidance Metal, the two Blacksmith ' original mission changed.

Both Blacksmith Shop are now very busy, and it will take time for both to accumulate results.

In contrast, Quan Yi maintained a fixed training schedule.

After half a semester of training, Quan Yi completely consolidated his surging strength. Not only that, his level increased by one level, reaching level sixty-two.

Before they knew it, they had spent six years in this Intermediate Academy.

Apart from Quan Yi and Huo Wu, the other team members were promoted to the Advanced Academy two years ago.

Although Quan Yi and Huo Wu could also continue their studies, they were both reluctant to Wooden Cabin.

Moreover, the Intermediate Academy and Advanced Academy campuses are close to each other and not far apart, so they did not move.

On the first day after breaking through to level 62, Quan Yi took a day off.

After getting plenty of rest, Quan Yi abruptly bid farewell to Huo Wu, applied for leave from the academy, and left Saus City.

On the day of his departure, Quan Yi left behind a reluctant-looking Huo Wu and resolutely turned away.

Quan Yi was reluctant to part with Huo Wu, but Huo Wu's Soul Power Level had reached level 49, and she was at a critical moment of breakthrough.

Moreover, and more importantly, Quan Yi's upcoming journey will be extremely dangerous, and with Huo Wu by his side, Quan Yi is not confident in protecting her safety.

As evening fell, Quan Yi packed all his belongings into the Blazing Sun Heart and left Saus City.

As night fell, Quan Yi black Ghost and sped off in one direction.

At this moment, Quan Yi's maximum flight speed reached an astonishing 500 kilometers per hour.

When Quan Yi is flying, the consumption of his Second Soul Skill and Fire Spirit Body is very small. In addition, in the state of Fire Spirit Body, Quan Yi can conceal his External Soul Bone.

This allows Quan Yi to utilize the automatic Energy Absorption of the Scarlet Dragon Horns to replenish energy while flying.

Two hours have passed.

Quan Yi flew directly over two thousand kilometers from the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire to the vicinity of the capital, Heaven Dou City.

After a tedious flight of more than four hours, Quan Yi finally arrived at his destination – Sunset Forest.

The flames that Quan Yi transformed into first landed at the entrance of the forest.

When his body reappeared, Quan Yi could keenly sense the difference in temperature.

Temperatures in the north are significantly lower than in the south, especially after sunset.

A cool mountain breeze blew in from the Sunset Forest, ruffling Quan Yi's hair.

His gaze was directed toward the Forest Center.

At this moment, within the Elemental Vision of the Scarlet Dragon Horns, one can observe the immense Fire Element energy existing in the Forest Center.

Moreover, this Fire Element energy is extremely pure; the Scarlet Dragon Horns doesn't even need to filter it, and can convert the energy into Quan Yi's cultivation level.

After recovering some of his depleted Divine Power, Quan Yi decisively flew into the Sunset Forest.

Fifteen minutes later, Quan Yi successfully arrived at the very center of Sunset Forest.

Looking at the Poisonous Fog emitting an eerie glow, Quan Yi's lips curled into an excited smile.

Quan Yi did not linger; instead, he transformed into a black thread and plunged into the Poisonous Fog.

Passing through the Poisonous Fog, a small mountain appeared before Quan Yi. Quan Yi easily climbed upwards and flew into the valley at the top of the mountain.

The valley was still shrouded in mist as always, but when Quan Yi descended to the bottom, the red and white spring water, clearly distinct, was revealed before Quan Yi.

Arriving at this place, Quan Yi was flooded with memories.

Dugu Bo, with his Martial Soul Evolution and his Soul Tool changing, is in a place where crisis and opportunity coexist.

Today, he has returned here to settle things once and for all.

In the flowerbeds surrounding the spring, a vibrant green figure was hidden among the large clusters of flowers.

This figure is the Nine-Section Emerald that Dugu Bo keeps.

Back then, it was precisely because of its existence that Quan Yi was discovered by Dugu Bo.

At that time, Quan Yi couldn't even sense its existence, but now Quan Yi is a completely different person.

Quan Yi Simulation the Energy Fluctuation around the hot spring, transforming into tiny Fire Element invisible to the naked eye, and silently appeared behind the Nine-Section Emerald.

Looking at the crystal-clear jade snake, Quan Yi thought to himself, "I suffered so much because of this little thing before."

Seeing that the Nine-Section Emerald was completely unaware of him, Quan Yi couldn't help but want to tease it.

In the next instant, the tiny Fire Element suddenly surged, transforming into a black fire rope that tightly bound the Nine-Section Emerald.

The Black Fire Rope, like vines, wrapped around the small snake's entire body, and its mouth was also firmly trapped, preventing it from making a sound.

Startled awake by the sudden turn of events, the Nine-Section Emerald began to tremble rapidly.

Despite its small size, the power it unleashed was not to be underestimated. However, under Quan Yi's control, its body was taut, the rope tightened, and marks appeared on its steel-like surface.

At this moment, the Nine-Section Emerald felt the threat of death.

It tried to call for help, but its body was trapped in mid-air and it couldn't move at all.

Realizing her predicament, Nine-Section Emerald fell into despair and, without realizing it, gave up resisting.
