After entering the Cave Entrance, there was only a prayer mat in the room, not even a lamp.

But the room was not dark, because the door at the Cave Entrance was a simple wooden plank door, made from several long wooden strips set side by side, with rather large gaps between them.

The light from the passage shone through the gaps into the cave.

Air also flowed in through the cracks in the door, so there was no stuffy feeling inside the Cave Entrance.

Quan Yi sat down on the prayer mat and was surprised to find that it was not hot. He carefully felt the material of the prayer mat and discovered that it had been woven from a special plant material.

Quan Yi had never seen this kind of material before either. He silently memorized its texture and color, thinking he could discuss with Quan Ying later whether the Quan Family could make use of this material.

After carefully examining the prayer mat, Quan Yi immediately settled his mind and entered Meditation with some anticipation.

Even after entering Meditation, Quan Yi could still feel the astonishing heat.

But Quan Yi also discovered that the speed at which his Soul Power grew had clearly increased. His cultivation speed was even faster than in the Quan Family basement.

More importantly, this was only a spot at around eighty degrees. Quan Yi had not even truly approached the magma deep underground yet.

This meant that as Quan Yi's strength increased, he could continue going deeper, and in the end, he might even be able to sit beside the magma and cultivate Soul Power.

An hour quickly passed.

Quan Yi opened his eyes, and they were filled with satisfaction.

According to Quan Yi's original plan, breaking through to rank twenty should have taken around one to one and a half years. But the effects of the Simulated Environment had exceeded his imagination, and it should shorten that by half a year.

At this speed, Quan Yi could break through to rank twenty in about a year and undergo his second Soul Ring absorption.

Quan Yi walked out of the Cultivation Room in great satisfaction and found that Huo Wu was already standing at the door waiting for him.

Quan Yi keenly noticed that Huo Wu's face was a little pale, and she was sweating quite badly.

Quan Yi immediately took a waterskin from the Blazing Sun Heart and handed it to Huo Wu.

"Here, drink some water."

Huo Wu accepted it gratefully, opened the cap, and drank eagerly.

"Ah~ I'm alive again. Thanks." For the first time, Huo Wu felt how precious water was.

Seeing that Huo Wu had recovered her energy, Quan Yi relaxed as well.

"Let's go. We came a little too hastily this time. Next time we come, we can prepare more water."

"Okay."

On the way back, Huo Wu could hardly wait to discuss it with Quan Yi.

"So? Is the Mimetic Training Field effective?"

"Very effective. Far beyond what I imagined. I feel like I didn't come to the wrong place."

Quan Yi praised it sincerely, and this praise was not only directed at the Primary Academy, but also at Blazing Fire Academy.

"And I'm even more interested in Blazing Fire Academy now."

Hearing Quan Yi praise Blazing Fire Academy like this made Huo Wu very happy. As the daughter of Blazing Fire Academy's Dean, she had a very strong sense of identification with Blazing Fire Academy.

Hearing Quan Yi express his approval of Blazing Fire Academy, an irrepressible smile appeared on her face.

It was like when something you liked also won the approval of a friend—the joy in your heart doubled.

"Of course. There's an even more luxurious Mimetic Training Field there. Blazing Fire Academy is heaven for all Fire-attribute Spirit Masters."

Huo Wu introduced Blazing Fire Academy's training field, her tone full of pride.

"No, what I value isn't just the Simulated Environment. What I admire is Blazing Fire Academy's vision and planning."

A wise light flashed through Quan Yi's eyes. He had not been blinded by the Simulated Environment; he had seen something deeper.

Huo Wu asked in confusion, "What vision and planning?"

Quan Yi patiently explained, "What I admire is that Blazing Fire Academy dared to spend a huge amount of money to open underground passages and create a Simulated Environment training field for the Primary Academy.

Doing this benefits Blazing Fire Academy.

First, it will attract large numbers of children with Fire-attribute Martial Souls to this city. This is the most important point.

For an academy, its source of students is its lifeblood.

Second, Blazing Fire Academy can select and observe talented students from a young age and give them guidance.

That way, Blazing Fire Academy can maximize the talents of Spirit Masters. In turn, the academy's strength will grow greater and greater.

And most importantly, Blazing Fire Academy is still continuously developing to this day. It is a proactive, upward-looking academy. This kind of positive atmosphere is more suitable for the long-term development of its students."

Quan Yi spoke at length about his views on Blazing Fire Academy. By now, Huo Wu's expression had gone a little blank.

She stared at Quan Yi in a daze. Everything Quan Yi said was something Huo Wu had never paid attention to before. The angle from which Quan Yi looked at things was already completely above Huo Wu's.

Huo Wu felt as if she were facing her own father. Sometimes her father would also say things that Huo Wu did not quite understand.

Seeing that Huo Wu was a little stunned, Quan Yi did not continue.

Quan Yi felt that saying these things to a child who had not even attended school yet was a little too early.

"Of course, these are just my own views. Whether they're right or not, I'm not too sure either. But you only need to remember that in the future, you definitely have to go to Blazing Fire Academy."

Although Huo Wu coming to this academy already meant her family intended for her to join Blazing Fire Academy, Quan Yi still reminded her, just in case.

"Mm, I know."

Seeing that Huo Wu had taken his reminder to heart, Quan Yi smiled with relief.

In truth, through his observations over the past few days, Quan Yi had gained some understanding of Blazing Fire Academy.

Overall, it was an academy still in the middle of developing, and one rich with ambition.

From the Library to the Simulated Environment Training Ground, Quan Yi discovered that Blazing Fire Academy had laid out a grand plan. It intended to bring the Junior Soul Master Academy into its education system as well.

Even Fire-attribute soul masters with slightly worse talent would receive better training here.

The existence of simulated environments would greatly increase the advancement rate of the Primary Academy, and the probability of soul masters breaking through Level 30 would also be higher.

Breaking through Level 30 before the age of twenty was an important threshold for soul masters.

Even if they failed to break through, these well-trained soul masters could still remain at the Primary Academy as teachers.

This would also slowly increase the academy's foundation and strength.

Moreover, the inflow of fresh blood would make the academy more and more vibrant.

Not only that, Quan Yi felt the academy had an even more important goal.

In truth, Blazing Fire Academy was already a very famous academy. Many talented Fire-attribute soul masters would consciously choose to join Blazing Fire Academy once they reached the right age.

Therefore, Blazing Fire Academy actually did not need to expend so much effort on the Primary Academy.

But putting so much effort into developing the Primary Academy showed that they were dissatisfied with the soul masters cultivated by other primary academies.

They wanted to step in personally and personally train soul masters who met their requirements.

Although he was not clear on what those requirements were, from this Primary Academy, Quan Yi saw Blazing Fire Academy's ambition and aspirations. Its potential for development was very great.

This was also extremely rare, because in truth, the current Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire were both already heading toward decline.

Take Heaven Dou Royal Academy, for example. In recent years, it had been gradually declining, and had not produced any impressive results.

By comparison, Quan Yi greatly admired Blazing Fire Academy's vigorous momentum of growth.

That was why Quan Yi had reminded Huo Wu. He was afraid Huo Wu would suddenly choose another academy.

For example, Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After all, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's facilities truly were excellent, and it also bore the title of the Heaven Dou Empire's First Academy.

If Huo Wu chose Heaven Dou Royal Academy, her development there definitely would not be as good as it would be at Blazing Fire Academy.
