Top-Grade Fire-Attribute Martial Soul

The next day.

Quan Yi was already swimming in the Swimming Pool, and he had been at it for quite some time.

Although he had gone to bed late last night, the biological clock he had developed over the years woke him up early.

As he swam, Quan Yi could clearly feel the changes in his body.

The most obvious change was the substantial increase in his stamina. Soul Power seemed to be strengthening his body, while also enhancing his physical abilities and endurance.

When Quan Yi saw Soul Power, he naturally thought of the anime he had watched in his previous life. Many of them had concepts similar to Soul Power, such as Chakra and Nen from Hunter x Hunter.

They all originated from one's own bodily energy, while also strengthening that energy in return.

Moreover, they could all grant supernatural abilities beyond the reach of ordinary humans.

Chakra was the combination of physical and spiritual energy, while Nen was physical energy.

Soul Power, meanwhile, was cultivated by using Meditation to circulate the Soul Power within one's body. Though this world had a medieval backdrop, its cultivation methods resembled those found in traditional Eastern wuxia novels.

"This world seems to be an era where East and West are mixed together. There are nobles and a Pope, but there are also sects." Quan Yi found this world rather strange. The more he learned about it, the stronger that strange feeling became.

His morning exercise lasted a long time. As he swam, Quan Yi continually adapted to his strengthened body and carefully sensed the changes brought about by Soul Power.

The effects of Soul Power were simply astonishing. This was only level ten Soul Power, yet it could make an ordinary person this strong.

No wonder Spirit Masters had become the most prestigious profession in this age of cold weapons. It was because of the strength Spirit Masters possessed.

Although this world contained supernatural elements, at its core, it was still a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

Realizing this, Quan Yi became even more determined to grow stronger.

Breakfast time.

The family sat gathered around the Dining Table. Quan Yue and Su Ling'er were both staring at Quan Yi in surprise.

Quan Yi had already finished his second plate of Soul Beast Meat, yet he still was not full.

"Mother, could I have another plate? I'm still not full."

"Why are you eating so much today? Is there something wrong with your body?" Su Ling'er asked worriedly.

"Mother, I exercised for a long time today, so I used up quite a lot of energy," Quan Yi replied after thinking for a moment.

Quan Yue spoke up from the side. "It's fine. Xiao Yi is already a Soul Scholar, so it's normal for him to eat more. Besides, the more he eats, the stronger his body is. It's a good thing."

Su Ling'er thought it over and found that it made sense. She immediately turned and returned to the kitchen. Before long, she brought out a large basin of freshly grilled meat. Quan Yi did not waste any of it and quickly finished it all.

After eating his fill, Quan Yi leaned back comfortably in his chair, quietly feeling the warm current in his abdomen spread continuously through his body. This was the time Quan Yi enjoyed most.

Seeing that Quan Yi had finished eating, Quan Yue exchanged a glance with Su Ling'er beside him. Su Ling'er nodded when she saw it.

Quan Yue looked at Quan Yi and spoke solemnly. "Xiao Yi, since you've finished eating, come with us. Let's take a good look at your Martial Soul together."

"Alright." Quan Yi was already a little impatient.

Following his parents, Quan Yi arrived at the entrance to a Basement. Two tall men stood guard outside the door.

At Quan Yue's command, the two men laboriously pushed open the heavy iron door.

Quan Yue and Su Ling'er gestured for Quan Yi to follow. Quan Yi looked around the Basement with great curiosity.

Once they entered the Basement, his mother closed the iron door behind them. Strangely enough, there was also a bolt on the inner side of the door.

The underground passage was not long, so the Basement was not very deep. Before long, a broad space appeared before Quan Yi. Though it was underground, many hanging lamps lined the walls, illuminating the entire Basement brightly.

The moment he entered, Quan Yi smelled the metallic scent permeating the Basement. Then, one look left him stunned. The underground space was piled full of weapons and equipment, all gleaming with metallic luster beneath the lights.

Seeing Quan Yi's shocked expression, Quan Yue solemnly began introducing the place to him.

"Son, this is the most secret place of our Quan Family. It contains equipment and weapons that the Quan Family spent enormous amounts of money and time creating."

"You usually enjoy reading books related to Spirit Masters, so you should be familiar with Simulated Cultivation Environments, right? This place was specially built as a Simulated Cultivation Environment for the Black Iron Gauntlets Martial Soul. You can cultivate here in the future as well."

"Besides that, it is also the Armory of our Quan Family. Should the Quan Family ever face a crisis, this equipment will be what we rely on to resist outside enemies. You saw it just now—this place can be locked from the inside. Our clansmen can hide in this Basement for refuge, then escape through the Secret Passage. It can also be considered the Quan Family's escape route."

He had not expected the family to have a place like this. Quan Yi felt that the Quan Family did not seem as simple as he had imagined.

He had never been particularly interested in family affairs before, and his training had taken up much of his time and energy, leaving him with little understanding of the family.

"As the Patriarch's son, I'll have to inherit the family business in the future. It looks like, aside from cultivation, I should also properly learn about the family's affairs."

Quan Yi consciously took that responsibility upon himself. The Quan Family had helped him, so naturally, he would repay them in the future. Having had no family in his previous life, Quan Yi cherished this hard-won family deeply.

"Alright, the main reason we brought you here is to observe your Martial Soul. Summon it."

"Alright, Father."

With that, Quan Yi summoned his Martial Soul.

"It's so beautiful." Su Ling'er could not help but praise it as she looked at Quan Yi's Martial Soul.

"Xiao Yi, you can inject Soul Power into your Martial Soul. The flames that appeared during your awakening yesterday were probably not an accident. Your Martial Soul should be a fire-attribute Martial Soul like mine."

Quan Yi focused and poured the Soul Power in his body into the Martial Soul on his right hand. A flame suddenly sprang up from the gauntlet.

"Just as I thought. This Martial Soul not only inherited your father's Black Iron Gauntlets, but also my fire attribute. This is a rarely seen mutated Martial Soul," Su Ling'er said excitedly.

Quan Yi discovered that he could sense the flame in his hand, and that it could continuously change according to his Willpower.

From humanoid forms to beastly shapes, Quan Yi tirelessly reshaped the flame in his hand.

Meanwhile, Su Ling'er stared fixedly at Quan Yi's hands and cried out in disbelief, "That's impossible! Being able to control flames so freely before even adding a Soul Ring—this must be a Top-Grade Fire-Attribute Martial Soul."

"What is a Top-Grade Fire-Attribute Martial Soul?" Quan Yue, who seemed not to have heard of it either, hurriedly asked.

"Ordinary Fire-attribute Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls can both ignite flames through their Martial Souls, but at first, neither can freely control their own fire. Only after adding a Soul Ring can they truly control flames for attacks. But Xiao Yi can freely control fire without a Soul Ring. Other than the legendary Top-Grade Fire-Attribute Martial Soul, that should be impossible."

Su Ling'er's beautiful eyes widened as she excitedly explained it to the father and son.
