"Strange, the description of the Golden Flame Fruit doesn't seem to mention its ability to increase a Soul Master's soul power, right? How did my soul power level up? And by two levels at that."
After finishing his cultivation, Wang Qi looked at his hands in confusion, recalling relevant information about the Golden Flame Fruit in his mind.
The Golden Flame Fruit increases the flame power of a fire-attribute Soul Master and temporarily enhances a Soul Master's cultivation talent, but it doesn't seem to have a direct function to increase soul power.
However, after absorbing the Golden Flame Fruit, Wang Qi's soul power level directly jumped from the early stage of level fourteen to the mid stage of level sixteen.
With Wang Qi's current innate soul power of 5.9, it would take at least half a year to break through to the Great Soul Master stage, otherwise Wang Qi wouldn't have set his sights on breaking through to the Great Soul Master before the age of twelve.
One Golden Flame Fruit directly helped Wang Qi increase his soul power by two levels, effectively reducing his cultivation time by a year.
Sitting in meditation, Wang Qi didn't notice any effect of the Golden Flame Fruit accelerating soul power cultivation; it wasn't much different from his previous cultivation.
Upon releasing his Martial Soul, Wang Qi noticed an increase in the temperature of the Flaming Human Body Martial Soul. After experimenting, he discovered that his control over the flames was gradually strengthening.
He vaguely guessed what was happening. Summoning his damaged Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul, and seeing it nearly fully repaired, Wang Qi could roughly deduce that it was the Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul's ability.
"It seems I've fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Golden Flame Fruit, completely absorbing the power that should have been dormant within my body, gradually fusing in. Otherwise, my soul power level wouldn't have increased so quickly." "
That's good, it makes it easier for me to accurately judge my cultivation speed. If both Golden Flame Fruits had been mine back then, my soul power level could have increased by at least one more level. That way, even without the simulated environment, I'm confident I could break through to level 20 before I turn eleven."
Thinking this, Wang Qi heard the office door open. Lin Yan, who had previously organized the Soul Battle Competition, came to Wang Qi's side, cupping his fists and saying, "Lin Yan, the person in charge of the Blazing Fire City Great Soul Arena, greets Third Young Master."
"Don't call me Third Young Master. Others may not know my situation, but you should. I'm revealing my identity this time to speak on your behalf not to ask for favors, but as a stepping stone." "
I came to Blazing Fire City for two purposes. First, to find medicinal herbs to assist fire-attribute soul masters in cultivation, which I've already completed. Second, to go to Blazing Fire Canyon to find a suitable soul beast for my second soul ring. I didn't expect to encounter people from the Great Soul Arena here."
"I'll pay the Grand Soul Arena to take me into the Blazing Fire Canyon. If I encounter suitable soul beasts, I hope the Grand Soul Arena can help me capture and raise them until my soul power level breaks through, then I can come back to absorb soul rings."
"I'll finalize this cooperation at a price 30% higher than the market price. Mr. Lin Yan, what do you think?"
Wang Qi didn't intend to hide anything from Lin Yan. Coming from the Grand Soul Arena, Wang Qi knew its rules.
"Third Young Master truly lives up to his name. His character and financial resources are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Since Third Young Master's sincerity is so high, I naturally won't give up this deal."
"When does Third Young Master plan to depart? It would be best to wait a while. The Grand Soul Arena has just been established in Blazing Fire City and is short-handed. I can't spare any manpower to help you for the time being."
Having confirmed the intention to trade, Wang Qi wasn't in a hurry.
"I'll visit Blazing Fire Canyon before leaving Blazing Fire City in a month."
With that, Wang Qi left the temporary office in the Great Soul Arena and headed towards the simulated environment training room. Huo Wushuang had given him a one-month pass to the intermediate training room; wouldn't it be a huge loss if he didn't use it?
Back in the training room, after exchanging a few words with Huo Miao, he went straight to the intermediate training room on the second floor.
"So this is the intermediate training room? The concentration of fire attribute energy is indeed exceptionally high. I'm becoming increasingly curious about the environment in the advanced training room."
Thinking to himself, he didn't waste any more time and immediately sat cross-legged on the futon to enter meditation.
For the next month, Wang Qi practically lived in the simulated environment training room. Each day, after reaching his maximum soul power through meditation, he would begin stance training. In
his previous life, Wang Qi had practiced martial arts for a while with an old neighbor who had fought in battles, but he gave it up because he couldn't endure the hardship.
Unexpectedly, the hardship he couldn't endure in his previous life was now something he found enjoyable. This was because after a soul master absorbs a soul ring, their physical attributes improve rapidly, and they enter a period of rapid development—the optimal time to practice martial arts and build a foundation.
What? Martial arts training requires medicinal baths? Little did he know that soul power itself was the best medicinal bath, nourishing the body with soul power, and immediately repairing any internal injuries.
Internal injuries? They didn't exist.
"What kind of boxing style did Grandpa teach me? How does it coordinate so well with my soul power? I've only just mastered the first set of stance training, and I already feel my physical strength has increased significantly."
"If I continue practicing at this pace, my second soul ring will be able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring even without the aid of rare and precious materials."
The boxing style that Grandpa taught Wang Qi in his previous life was divided into training methods and fighting methods. The training methods included fixed routines and three stance training styles: Yin-Yang Stance, Five Elements Stance, and Hunyuan Stance.
As for the names? Grandpa didn't go into detail, and even deliberately gave Wang Qi a very unpleasant fake name to prevent him from spreading rumors: "Wang Qi's Random Fist."
Later, Wang Qi neglected the boxing style and stopped worrying about its name.
Previously, because his physical development didn't meet the standards for stance training, he couldn't even practice the most basic of the three stance training styles, the Yin-Yang Stance, which is why it's been delayed until now.
If you compare Wang Qi's age before and after absorbing the soul ring with his previous life, before absorbing the soul ring, Wang Qi was eight years old, so after absorbing the soul ring, Wang Qi is ten years old.
After two months of arduous travel, Wang Qi, having consumed the Golden Flame Fruit, finally reached the minimum standard for practicing the Two Elements Stance.
Huo Miao, sitting behind the bar painting her nails, glanced at Wang Qi and, seeing him return the number tag, said disdainfully, "Ice Block Kid, finally not planning to continue cultivating? Tsk tsk tsk, that's rare indeed."
"I've cultivated enough. Next, I plan to go to Blazing Fire Canyon for a stroll, and then prepare to leave Blazing Fire City."
"Go to Blazing Fire Canyon? Leave Blazing Fire City? You're still a long way from level twenty, aren't you?"
"Forget it, who cares where you go? The beast tide in Blazing Fire Canyon ended recently, so now is a safe time to enter. Want me to protect you, you ice block brat?"
"That brat, I really don't know what's wrong with him. He's clearly a fire attribute soul master, but his personality is as cold as ice. Oh well."
Watching Wang Qi's departing figure, Huo Miao heated the nail polish with fire attribute soul power, scraped it off, and continued mixing and applying the polish.
Wang Qi also arrived at the newly formed Great Soul Arena.
"Manager Lin, I'm getting ready to head to Blazing Fire Canyon."
