Quan Yue's two-month deadline wasn't arbitrary; it was the result of careful calculation.
In his estimation, two months, while not impossible, should be a very tight timeframe.
Quan Yue himself had spent half a year mastering 'hardness' and 'sharpness'. He factored in Quanyi's Innate Full Soul Power recovery rate and set the two-month limit.
But he didn't expect Quanyi to learn it in less than a month.
This was inseparable from Quanyi's talent in mental aspects, but even more astonishing was Quanyi's willpower.
The intensity of the training itself was not something ordinary people could withstand. Although meditation could replace sleep, mental fatigue was difficult to eliminate.
But every time he condensed Soul Power, Quanyi was fully focused, without the slightest slack.
Quan Yue felt very gratified, but also had considerable pressure.
As parents of genius children, sometimes they had to make decisions that went against common sense.
Like Quanyi's five-hundred-year Soul Ring plan, being able to agree to such an outrageous decision wasn't something ordinary parents could do.
Quan Yue was also under tremendous pressure.
Of course, Quanyi knew this, so he couldn't afford to relax in the slightest.
"Alright, now that you've passed my test, you can prepare to hunt for a Soul Ring."
Now that Quanyi had passed the test, Quan Yue couldn't stop him anymore.
But Quanyi didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"No, Father, there's still a month to spare. I want to continue learning the second half of the fist techniques."
Quanyi hadn't anticipated this situation at first, but since he had a month to spare, he could continue to learn the fist techniques, which would increase the likelihood of obtaining a higher-year Soul Ring.
Seeing that Quanyi wasn't in a hurry and maintained a calm attitude, Quan Yue completely relaxed.
Such a cautious child must have considered his views carefully before expressing them. His inner rationality was terrifying. Quan Yue even felt a trace of fear towards his own child.
"Since you've decided to spend your time here, I have no objections. But, I must remind you that fist technique cultivation will take a lot of time, so pay attention to time management."
"Okay, I plan to continue studying for a month, and then set off," Quanyi replied.
"The Quan Family Fist Technique initially evolved from shield and spear techniques. The Black Iron Gauntlets Martial Soul has relatively weak attack and defense. To compensate for this shortcoming, your grandfather, the previous family head, fought with a shield and spear."
Quanyi's grandfather—Quan Li, was the founder of the Quan Family. Relying on the mutated Martial Soul Black Iron Gauntlets, he created the current family business.
Although Quanyi had never met him, he had heard that his grandfather was currently stationed in Heaven Dou City, guarding the most important shop of the Quan Family. Most importantly, Quanyi's grandfather was a powerful Soul Douluo-level expert.
Quanyi had often heard stories about his grandfather since he was a child. Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with him.
He didn't expect that 'hardness' and 'sharpness' were invented by his grandfather. Quanyi developed an even greater curiosity about his unseen grandfather.
Quan Yue continued, "This also allows the Dual-Mindedness of the Black Iron Gauntlets Martial Soul to be maximized. The choice and use of dual-wielded weapons can be said to be a stroke of genius. But soon, your grandfather discovered a flaw."
"That is, the quality of the weapons couldn't keep up with the Soul Master's progress. Without weapons, the Black Iron Gauntlets Martial Soul had no advantage in battle."
"After a period of downturn, he noticed the advantage of Soul Power. Soul Power itself grows stronger as the Soul Master grows. Therefore, after more than a decade of research, he created a method of condensing Soul Power."
"And 'hardness' and 'sharpness' are essentially a shield and a spear."
"The Quan Family Fist Technique evolved from shield and spear techniques."
Quanyi was shocked to hear this. He was deeply moved by his grandfather's wisdom and persistence. It takes courage to create your own path.
Quan Yue continued, "The advantage of the Quan Family Fist Technique lies in its freedom. 'Hardness' and 'sharpness' can be freely switched between the hands. You can even use 'sharpness' with both hands, or 'hardness' with both hands. Offense and defense are all in your mind."
"Next, I will teach you the most basic attack and defense stances."
"The rest you will have to think about and perfect in future battles. Remember, our Quan Family Fist Technique is about freedom."
After Quan Yue finished explaining the origin of the fist techniques, he struck a pose in front of Quanyi.
Quanyi was fully focused. But what Quan Yue taught were the most basic stances and postures. Very simple, you can imitate them very similarly after watching them once and doing them once.
The only point to note is that both hands must take turns doing it. You can't just do the right hand or the left hand.
Quanyi understood that this was to evenly exercise both hands.
Quanyi followed Quan Yue, practicing the basic movements over and over again for several hours, until he could perform them perfectly on his own.
At this point, Quan Yue stopped and began to observe Quanyi's movements rigorously. His eyes were like those of a hawk, and no deviation could escape his notice.
"Raise your right hand a little higher, the movement is deformed."
Quanyi had lost count of how many times he'd heard that. Although Quan Yue had said that the most important thing about boxing was freedom, he was very strict about the basic movements.
This process had been going on all afternoon, but it didn't even count as a warm-up for Quanyi.
Quanyi didn't know much about martial arts, but he knew the importance of a solid foundation. So he repeated the movements conscientiously.
For the next month, Quanyi repeated the basic movements every day. At first, he did them very slowly, striving for the most correct posture. But gradually, his speed began to increase.
Quan Yue also admitted that Quanyi had made a good start. From now on, it would be a matter of constant refinement.
On the fiftieth day of the test, Quanyi was able to complete a perfect set of movements, reducing the time from the initial thirty minutes to ten minutes.
In the basement, Quanyi was stripped to the waist, practicing his boxing. His movements were already very smooth, and with every block and every punch, Quanyi used all his strength.
Sweat condensed on the surface of his skin, and droplets fell to the ground with each movement. The sweat had already soaked the ground beneath Quanyi's feet.
Although they were the simplest movements, using the strength of his whole body for each move was still tiring.
Quanyi used this method to train both his boxing and his body at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
After practicing for a while, Quanyi stopped. Usually, he would continue until late at night. But not today.
Because he was leaving for the hunt tomorrow.
These past two months of hard work had been for this moment.
Quanyi was looking forward to it.
Stepping out of the basement, a gentle breeze blew, and the evening wind caressed Quanyi's sweaty body, carrying away the heat and moisture. It was very comfortable.
Quanyi looked up, the bright moon hung in the sky, and his mood was great.
Quanyi quietly enjoyed the tranquility, and the excitement in his heart slowly calmed down.
Quanyi had done everything he could, and now he just had to wait for fate to take its course.
But Quanyi was sure that this was just the first step in his new life.
"I'm hungry, I'll go eat some meat first."
Touching his stomach, Quanyi headed for the cafeteria.
