Huo Wu began to eat heartily, without any pretense.
After finishing a plate, Huo Wu leaned back with a beaming smile, languidly resting against the wooden chair.
"So satisfying. I can't eat anymore."
Huo Wu returned to being the energetic girl she was.
Seeing Huo Wu's happy expression made Quan Yi smile as well.
"Don't worry, there's plenty of meat left, enough for us to eat for months."
Huo Wu straightened up, raised an eyebrow, and asked curiously, "Tell me, how did you get the Fifty Thousand Year Soul Beast Meat?"
"It's nothing, I just brought it back when I was getting my Fifth Soul Ring," Quan Yi said casually.
"Ha! Fifth Soul Ring? Whose Fifth Soul Ring? Don't tell me it's yours..." Huo Wu pointed at Quan Yi with disbelief.
Quan Yi nodded calmly.
Huo Wu stood up, quickly walked around the dining table, went to Quan Yi's side, held Quan Yi's face in her hands, and asked worriedly, "You didn't take any medicine with side effects, did you?"
"No, I just found a Soul Bone and some opportunities in the Sunset Forest. Not only are there no side effects, but my Soul Power and Martial Soul have been greatly purified."
Quan Yi explained in a flustered manner.
Through the contact between their skin, Huo Wu could feel the pure and majestic Fire-attribute Soul Power within Quan Yi's body.
"You scared me, but a Fifty Thousand Year Fifth Soul Ring, you truly live up to your reputation."
At the same moment, Quan Yi could also feel the flame energy within Huo Wu's body.
Through the ability of telepathy, the two could clearly perceive each other's changes.
"Enough about me, your current situation is even more perplexing."
Huo Wu's changes were too great; her physical development far exceeded that of her peers, even more mature than Qian Renxue, whom they had met before.
When Quan Yi hugged Huo Wu earlier, he was shocked by the enormous changes.
Besides the changes in appearance, the changes in strength were the greatest.
The awakening and evolution of her Martial Soul.
And this evolution occurred without external factors like the Blazing Yang Spring.
There must be something they didn't know about the Fire Shadow Martial Soul.
"Since that evolution, the Fire Shadow's control over flames has greatly increased, and it even has some influence on my body in return."
Huo Wu's body was developing more and more rapidly, her physical attributes were improving, and her height had even surpassed all the males on the Team.
Even the tall Ling Yun and Wang Xing had been surpassed by Huo Wu.
The growth of the body drove the growth of the shadow.
The larger the shadow, the more powerful the Martial Soul would become.
And the growth of the shadow, in turn, nourished the growth of the body.
Complementing each other, improving each other.
Huo Wu still had enormous room for development.
"Don't be anxious, your strength will only become stronger and stronger, there's no doubt about that."
Quan Yi placed his hands over the back of Huo Wu's hands, staring straight at Huo Wu with sincere comfort.
Quan Yi's affirmation dispelled the unease in Huo Wu's heart at that moment.
Through telepathy, even when not in the Martial Soul Fusion state, Quan Yi could understand Huo Wu's heart through his understanding of her.
The two hearts were becoming closer and closer.
Vermillion and orange-yellow light emanated from their bodies respectively.
Like the aurora in the Arctic night sky.
Huo Wu's face flushed like the evening glow, but it was conveniently concealed by the light of her Soul Power.
As their bodies broke contact, the light of Soul Power around them faded.
The surging Soul Power calmed down.
Huo Wu turned and ran upstairs, hiding in her room.
Quan Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "That was close."
The surge of Soul Power had affected his heart, causing it to beat wildly, beyond his control.
After clearing the table, Quan Yi returned to his room.
After being away for half a year, the room was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust.
"Sniff, sniff."
However, his room was full of signs of life, and there was a familiar fragrance.
Moreover, a large stack of letters was piled on his desk.
These were the letters he had written to Huo Wu.
It was conceivable that Huo Wu had occupied his room during his absence.
Quan Yi's right hand brushed across his chest, and a stack of white paper appeared in his hand.
These were the letters Huo Wu had sent him.
He had also treasured them carefully.
"My heart is like yours, I will surely live up to our love."
Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Quan Yi secretly made a vow to it.
In the room across the way, Huo Wu covered herself completely with the quilt, curled up inside, and made a soft, shy sound.
The scene from just now appeared in her mind, Quan Yi's eyes staring intently, revealing a desire that made her heart tremble.
It was the first time she had seen such an expression in Quan Yi's eyes.
While feeling scared, a sense of anticipation arose in her heart.
The next day, early in the morning.
Quan Yi opened his door and happened to run into Huo Wu across the way.
"Morning!" Quan Yi waved and greeted her.
"Mm, morning."
The two greeted each other as if nothing had happened, but there was a hint of fatigue in their eyes that was not easily noticed.
Last night, neither of them had slept a wink, and they couldn't even enter Meditation because of their fluctuating emotions.
However, at their level, not sleeping for one night would not affect their condition in the slightest.
They started their morning training as usual, and after the training, they had breakfast, just like always.
Quan Yi's physical fitness had greatly improved after leveling up.
Six thousand kilograms of Weighted Equipment was no longer enough for Quan Yi to reach his limit in a short time.
Therefore, he had to add more Iron Essence to the Weighted Equipment to increase the weight.
However, more than that, Huo Wu's performance surprised Quan Yi even more.
During the morning training, Huo Wu also put on a full set of Weighted Equipment weighing three hundred kilograms.
Although it was possible for a Soul Ancestor to wear such heavy weights, it was not only due to the feedback from Huo Wu's Martial Soul evolution to her body, but also inseparable from her own unremitting efforts over the past five years.
Huo Wu's physical fitness could compete with that of a Power Attack System Beast Soul Master of the same level.
Moreover, the growth of Huo Wu's physical attributes was all-round, unlike Quan Yi's, which was all biased towards strength.
Agility, speed, endurance, strength, and recovery were all developing upwards in a balanced manner.
However, this was only the most superficial part of Huo Wu's progress; her greatest improvement was in her control over flames.
'Extreme · Flame Bullet' is a manifestation of this.
After the morning forging session, they had breakfast together, and everything returned to normal.
Dean's Office.
"You're finally back."
Wu Jie was genuinely happy to see Quan Yi.
At the same time, seeing Huo Wu regain her spirit also made him feel relieved.
"During your absence, everyone's strength has improved significantly. I hope you haven't neglected your training during the vacation, otherwise, you'll be at a disadvantage."
Quan Yi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I've been diligently cultivating during this time, and I definitely won't let you down."
Feeling the faint, terrifying aura emanating from Quan Yi, Wu Jie cursed Quan Yi inwardly for being a freak.
Just facing him, he could feel the pressure from Quan Yi that he usually felt from Soul Saints and Soul Douluos.
"Right, now that you've returned to the Team, we can start our next training plan."
Huo Wu asked curiously, "What exactly is the next training plan?"
Wu Jie's lips curled up slightly, and he said with certainty, "You've been studying the theoretical knowledge related to Team Battles for a whole year, and the next step is to put the theory into practice.
The next training plan is very simple, and that is actual combat."
