After roughly summarizing the gains from opening the Hidden Meridians, Quan Yi immediately swam out of the water.
As for the Scarlet Demon Fine Gold, Quan Yi placed it in the Spring Water.
According to Quan Yi's judgment, it would take some time for it to completely soften.
Although the extremely hot Spring Water could easily melt metal, the Scarlet Demon Fine Gold had great resistance to fire.
Without this Spring Water, Quan Yi would have to use his own power and Soul Power to slowly modify its shape.
The time this method would consume was not something Quan Yi could afford right now.
He still had many things to do and couldn't waste all his time on it.
When Quan Yi emerged from the water, he was greeted by Dugu Bo's gaunt face and Emerald Green eyes.
Looking at his staring gaze, Quan Yi couldn't help but tease, "Eavesdropping on others isn't a good habit, Senior. How many times is this?"
Dugu Bo said unhappily, "It's not like your kid didn't cause such a big commotion, I wouldn't bother to come and see."
When Dugu Bo met Quan Yi's eyes, he felt a faint stinging sensation, which was the effect of the difference in their mental strength.
Moreover, every time he met Quan Yi's strange vertical pupils, he felt uncomfortable as if he was being seen through.
At this moment, Dugu Bo truly realized that Quan Yi's mental strength had entered another stage.
"What did you do this time, kid? Why has your mental strength soared so much?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.
Quan Yi replied, "It's nothing, it's just that the External Soul Bone has completely integrated into my body, bringing an increase in mental strength."
Dugu Bo said in surprise, "What kind of External Soul Bone is this? I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen such a peculiar External Soul Bone.
Usually, the evolution of External Soul Bones only makes them stronger on the original basis, but you have clearly grown an additional Soul Bone."
This simply exceeded Dugu Bo's common sense.
Quan Yi retorted, "Senior, the changes in my External Soul Bone are all due to the Spring Water. What's truly peculiar is it."
As he spoke, Quan Yi held up a ball of water, it was some kind of unique thing contained in the Spring Water, which was absorbed by his External Soul Bone, leading to the mutation.
Moreover, after this breakthrough, Quan Yi also keenly noticed that the Dragon Scale on his face had spread downwards a bit.
This indicated that the Soul Bone was still absorbing the energy of the Spring Water and constantly evolving.
The evolutionary nature of the External Soul Bone meant that it would not stop its progress.
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement after hearing this. He deeply felt the special nature of the Spring Water.
These days of research had made him truly realize that the most useful thing in this treasure land for him was not the Medicine Garden, but the Spring Water.
With this ultimate Ice and Fire Spring, even if he didn't solve the toxin problem, he could still survive safely for a long time.
However, this also meant that if he hadn't discovered this Spring Water early, he might have died a long time ago.
Quan Yi climbed out of the Spring Water, put on his clothes, and invited Dugu Bo to have lunch together.
Dugu Bo naturally sat down at the Dining Table, waiting for Quan Yi's cooking.
With the Scarlet Dragon Eye, Quan Yi's control over fire could be said to have reached the pinnacle.
Therefore, even Dugu Bo was very fond of the dishes he made.
Quan Yi took out the Soul Guidance Iron Pot and piled up thousands of kilograms of cut meat pieces on one side.
This was already more than twice the usual amount.
It was not easy to handle so many ingredients, but with Quan Yi's powerful mental strength, he could perfectly control the whole process.
Half an hour later, Quan Yi turned the massive amount of ingredients into exquisite dishes.
At lunchtime, Quan Yi and Dugu Bo enjoyed lunch while talking about their gains these days.
When Dugu Bo heard that Quan Yi was preparing to hunt a 100,000-year Soul Beast, his cold expression collapsed again.
Seeing Quan Yi's calm expression, he thought to himself, "Although it sounds a bit shocking, if it's him, it might really be possible."
This thought restored Dugu Bo to his usual state of mind, and he said seriously, "Do you need my help?"
Quan Yi swallowed his food, smiling as he declined, "Thank you, Senior, but I am confident."
"Alright, remember to save some meat from a 100,000-year Soul Beast for me. I've never actually tasted 100,000-year Soul Beast Meat."
Dugu Bo didn't say much more. Quan Yi wouldn't lie; if he said he was confident, then he truly was.
"Okay, when we return, I'll personally cook a Sea Soul Beast soup for you, Senior."
After finishing lunch, Dugu Bo returned to his laboratory once more to study his toxicology knowledge.
Meanwhile, Quan Yi returned to the Wooden Cabin.
Over the next three months, Quan Yi and Huo Wu entered secret special training.
To this end, the two often flew to uninhabited wastelands for secret training.
At the same time, a major event occurred at Blazing Fire Academy during this period.
After discussions among the Academy's higher-ups, they decided to completely lift the restrictions on commoner students at Blazing Fire Academy. At the same time, they would also raise the admission requirements.
Anyone who didn't meet the requirements would not be accepted, even if they were Noble children.
Moreover, even students who had already been admitted would need to undergo a re-evaluation of their strength at the beginning of the next semester.
Anyone who didn't meet the requirements would be expelled without exception.
Only strength mattered.
As long as they were Fire-attribute Soul Masters and had sufficient talent, Blazing Fire Academy would welcome them all.
This news caused quite a stir in the Soul Master world.
At the same time, it also drew rebuttals from Noble forces, but Huo Wuxie suppressed them with his strength and expelled the opposing Noble Academies from the Academy.
Of course, Blazing Fire Academy suffered considerable losses in the process.
However, Huo Wuxie's determination to reform was unshakable. In Huo Wuxie's heart, the Academy's affairs were certainly important, but he cared more about Huo Wu's thoughts.
Since Huo Wu was determined to change, he, as her father, would resolutely support her.
The students, who had originally wanted to spend their summer vacation peacefully, were in no mood to enjoy it due to this major change.
Those students who were enjoying 'youth' in the Academy solely based on their Noble status panicked.
However, they were powerless to change the Academy's will.
The Douluo Continent was ultimately a world where strength was respected, and with the Soul Douluo Huo Wuxie in charge, the progress of the reform was rapid.
Time also passed quickly in the midst of busy preparations.
Finally, two months later, one day, Blazing Fire Academy started its enrollment examination a week early.
Although the requirements had been raised, the number of applicants was several times higher than usual.
This was because those commoners who usually lacked opportunities flocked to the queue.
After layers of testing, those who met the standards would be admitted to the Academy, while those who didn't would be turned away.
Although the preparation time was not sufficient, the Academy did recruit some good students.
The week-long assessment ended.
This assessment, intertwined with surprises and disappointments, came to an end.
Soon after, the Academy held a grand opening ceremony, symbolizing the Academy's fresh start.
However, Quan Yi and Huo Wu were destined to be unable to participate in this grand ceremony.
