"I never saw a fire-attribute Martial Soul with such powerful control even at Blazing Fire Academy. Is this what Innate Full Soul Power is capable of?"

As an outstanding student of Blazing Fire Academy, Su Ling'er possessed the greatest understanding of fire-attribute Martial Souls among those present. This was also her first time seeing such a unique fire-attribute Martial Soul.

Blazing Fire Academy was one of the renowned Five Elemental Academies. It accepted only those with fire-attribute Martial Souls, and all kinds of fire-attribute Spirit Masters could be found there.

Even Su Ling'er, a graduate of Blazing Fire Academy, was praising this Martial Soul. One could imagine just how powerful it was.

"Mother, after summoning my Martial Soul, I can't feel the temperature of the flames. Is that normal?" Quan Yi voiced his doubts.

Quan Yi had noticed something unusual during his first awakening, and this time, he finally confirmed it. After summoning his Martial Soul, he could no longer feel the burning sensation of flames.

Su Ling'er replied, "That's perfectly normal. Your own flames can't harm you. Like this."

"Blazing Sun Lion, possess me!"

Red light surged across Su Ling'er's body. Her height abruptly increased, her eyes became the vertical pupils of a fierce beast, and her hands transformed into Lion Claws. The majesty of a savage beast swept through the room.

Su Ling'er raised her right hand, and a fireball suddenly appeared in her palm. Though small, it radiated an intense blazing white glow, like a tiny sun.

"Ling'er, your flames have grown stronger again," Quan Yue remarked from the side.

Hearing Quan Yue's praise, Su Ling'er said rather proudly, "Of course. I've never relaxed my soul power cultivation all these years."

Su Ling'er was a Spirit Master with considerable talent. She had never slackened over the years, and especially in the past four years, influenced by Quan Yi, she had become even more diligent. Her strength had risen accordingly.

At that moment, Quan Yi stared blankly at the fireball in Su Ling'er's hand.

"Mother, I still can't feel the temperature of the flames." Quan Yi was deeply puzzled. After summoning his Martial Soul, he entered a strange state.

The entire world seemed to become cool and refreshing. His skin and senses grew extraordinarily sensitive, allowing him to clearly perceive changes in the flames, yet he simply could not feel their scorching heat. That counterintuitive sensation made Quan Yi feel extremely uncomfortable.

"That's impossible. The flames of my Blazing Sun Lion can melt ordinary metal the instant they touch it. Even a fire-attribute Spirit Master may have resistance to flames, but it's impossible for them to feel no heat at all." Su Ling'er's face was filled with disbelief.

Seeing that Su Ling'er did not believe him, Quan Yi withdrew the Martial Soul from his left hand and moved that hand toward the tiny sun.

Su Ling'er hurriedly pulled back the flames. "Xiao Yi, what are you doing? This isn't something to joke about."

"Mother, let me try. I really can't feel the heat of the flames. All I can feel is coolness," Quan Yi answered with certainty.

Su Ling'er stared at Quan Yi's serious expression. He did not look like he was lying, and suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

Flames reignited in her hand, but this time the fireball was extremely small and nowhere near as white as before, resembling the flame of a candle.

"I'll lower the temperature of the flames. Slowly bring your hand closer. If you feel any heat, pull your hand back immediately. Do you understand?" Su Ling'er instructed cautiously.

"Ling'er, isn't this too dangerous?" Quan Yue asked nervously from the side.

"It's fine. I've already controlled the flame's temperature. Even if he gets burned, it won't be serious." After explaining, Su Ling'er turned to Quan Yi. "Are you ready?"

Quan Yi nodded to indicate that he was ready. Then, he slowly brought his left hand closer.

Quan Yue and Su Ling'er became highly focused at that moment.

Before long, Quan Yi's hand was extremely close to the flame. Normally, he should have felt heat by then, but Quan Yi still felt nothing. Gritting his teeth, he decisively thrust his hand fully into the flames.

"Mother, I still can't feel anything. You can slowly increase the firepower." Quan Yi felt only coolness, and he could clearly sense the changes in the flames. However, unlike his own flames, he could not control this flame with his Willpower.

Seeing this, the corners of Su Ling'er's mouth rose uncontrollably. She began to gradually raise the flame's temperature, but Quan Yi remained calm. In the end, the flame slowly began radiating blazing white light, returning to its appearance as a tiny sun.

Quan Yi grew bolder as well. Opening his palm, he grasped the fireball from below, as though he were holding the sun in his hand.

Witnessing the scene that seemed like a Divine Trace, Su Ling'er completely confirmed her suspicions. She said excitedly, "Fire Immunity—this is the Fire Immunity Attribute. This is a power that stands above all fire-attribute Spirit Masters! Every fire-attribute Spirit Master will become powerless before you."

"Fire control, Fire Immunity, and Innate Full Soul Power—these are talents every fire-attribute Spirit Master dreams of. This Martial Soul is destined to become the emperor of fire!"

Su Ling'er was beside herself with excitement. Quan Yi had brought her far too many surprises, to the point that she even wondered whether she was dreaming.

Quan Yi was also extremely excited. A powerful Martial Soul would surely grant him greater strength. On Douluo Continent, strength was what mattered most.

But at the same time, Quan Yi knew that he was still weak and could not become complacent. His journey as a Spirit Master had only just begun.

Quan Yue, meanwhile, had been carefully observing this Martial Soul from the start, meticulously comparing it with his own.

His understanding of fire attributes was not particularly deep, but his knowledge of gauntlets far surpassed that of ordinary people. Thus, his attention was focused on the gauntlets themselves.

He discovered that Quan Yi's Martial Soul differed from his Black Iron Gauntlets Martial Soul. Its overall shape fit the palm and forearm more closely, and the entire gauntlet was thinner, while his own Martial Soul was bulkier, with thicker iron plates.

Therefore, Quan Yi's gauntlets would likely be more flexible in use, though that might mean their defensive strength was somewhat weaker than the Black Iron Gauntlets.

"Xiao Yi, aside from the fire, you must not overlook the strength of the Martial Soul itself. As a Tool Martial Soul, its inherent strength is also extremely important. May I test your Martial Soul's strength?"

Quan Yue had not been dazzled by the splendor of the flames. He remained calm, objectively observing Quan Yi's Martial Soul.

Quan Yue grasped Quan Yi's gauntlet, lightly weighing it in his hand and pressing the various parts of the gauntlet with his fingers. He carefully tested the Martial Soul's Weight and hardness.

"As expected of an Innate Full Soul Power-level Martial Soul. It is extremely hard, yet very light, making it highly flexible. As a gauntlet, it is also an exceptionally perfect creation. Moreover, if you focus your mind on both hands, you should feel something different from before."

Quan Yi summoned the gauntlet on his left hand again, closed his eyes, and focused his attention on his hands.

"Yes, Father. I feel like my hands have become more nimble."

As he spoke, Quan Yi rapidly flexed his fingers. His left hand curled inward starting from the thumb, while his right hand curled inward starting from the little finger, both hands performing opposite movements at the same time.

Just as when he controlled flames, Quan Yi felt that his hands could move freely according to his Willpower.

Isn't this Left-Right Mutual Combat? Quan Yi cried out inwardly.
