Chapter 40 - Just Beginning

"Hey, look over there."

"Wow, how bold. This is still the academy."

The students walking on the road glanced at Quanyi and Huo Wu, their faces full of teasing expressions.

It has to be said that the children of Douluo Continent are relatively precocious, no, maybe all ancient children are relatively precocious.

However, these passersby can't be blamed.

Anyone who sees a girl being carried in the arms of a boy in public will be unable to resist taking a look.

At this moment, Quanyi didn't notice the surrounding pedestrians at all.

He was constantly replaying the previous battle in his mind.

Although Quanyi's talent in close combat was remarkable.

However, this battle exposed many problems that Quanyi had not anticipated.

The first point is the lack of long-range attack methods, so the entire battle can only fall into a passive defensive state.

The second point is the lack of mobility. Quanyi's footsteps can't keep up with Bai Yan at all.

These are all weaknesses of Quanyi at this stage.

Of course, these are common problems encountered by Power Attack System Soul Masters in the early stage.

Generally, they can only wait until the next time they obtain a Soul Ring to obtain a Soul Skill that can make up for the shortcomings.

All Soul Masters on the continent are like this.

But Quanyi has different ideas.

He feels that his Martial Soul and Soul Skill still have room for development.

Just like imprinting the Rhino's Mark on a stone, he can change a close-range attack into a long-range attack.

Quanyi was immersed in his own thoughts, sinking deeper and deeper.

On the contrary, Huo Wu was a little restless. Although she closed her eyes at the moment, she could still hear the voices of passersby.

Huo Wu's cheeks also began to slowly turn red, and she also began to feel embarrassed.

So, Huo Wu opened her eyes, wanting Quanyi to put her down.

"Can you put me down?" Huo Wu whispered.

"What?"

Quanyi was so immersed in his thoughts that he couldn't hear Huo Wu's voice clearly.

Quanyi immediately looked at Huo Wu and asked, "What did you say just now? I didn't hear you clearly."

Huo Wu looked at the face so close at hand. This was the first time she had observed Quanyi's appearance at such close range.

Quanyi's eyes were clear and calm, with a maturity and stability different from his peers.

Huo Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

"It's nothing."

Although she was still a little shy, Huo Wu didn't hate being held by Quanyi.

Moreover, after all, her body was still a little weak, and she couldn't walk very well.

Saying that, Huo Wu turned her face to Quanyi's chest, ignoring the outside world.

Quanyi also fell back into his own thoughts.

The two fell silent again.

After a while.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"

Huo Wu noticed that Quanyi was a little absent-minded, unresponsive to the outside world, and completely immersed in his own world.

"Ah, um, I wasn't thinking about anything, just feeling like there's still a long way to go."

Quanyi gazed into the distance, at the endless road ahead, and murmured.

Huo Wu was a little dazed. Quanyi's words were vague, but she immediately understood.

"Yeah," Huo Wu replied, also somewhat unwilling.

This was their first victory, but also their first defeat.

The two of them joined forces, giving it their all, but in the end, they could only inflict negligible damage on their teacher.

Quanyi and Huo Wu truly realized that they were still far from being strong.

Although, among their peers, they were outstanding, as Soul Masters, they had only just begun.

The road was still long, and they still needed to continue their efforts.

Looking at the distant horizon, Quanyi's heart suddenly surged with pride. He lowered his head, smiled, and said to Huo Wu.

"However, we've only just begun." Quanyi was not one to wallow in self-pity; his eyes were full of anticipation for the future.

Huo Wu noticed the look in Quanyi's eyes, as clear and bright as ever. Through his eyes, Huo Wu seemed to see into Quanyi's heart.

She saw a blazing flame ignite in Quanyi's eyes.

"Yeah, we've only just begun."

Huo Wu's heart was also ignited by Quanyi.

Yes, the future ultimately belonged to the young. At this moment, there was no loss in Quanyi and Huo Wu's eyes, only fervent desire.

Huo Wu stared at Quanyi, somewhat infatuated. Quanyi was like a rising sun, radiating dazzling brilliance.

She felt that she could no longer live without Quanyi, just as a shadow could not live without the sun.

"I really hope time passes more slowly."

Huo Wu hoped so in her heart.

However, good times always passed quickly.

"We're here. Your Soul Power consumption was a bit high, so get some rest."

Quanyi took Huo Wu directly to the girls' Dormitory.

Quanyi gently put Huo Wu down and didn't go inside.

Although Quanyi wasn't tired, there were differences between men and women, and it wasn't convenient for Quanyi to enter the girls' Dormitory.

"Thanks."

Huo Wu patted Quanyi's shoulder to express her gratitude.

"Can you walk on your own?"

Quanyi asked with some concern.

"It's okay, thanks to you, my body has recovered well."

Huo Wu jumped in place, and it seemed that there was indeed no problem.

Only then did Quanyi feel relieved and waved goodbye to Huo Wu.

"That's good, then I'll go first."

"Okay."

Quanyi turned and left the girls' Dormitory.

However, he didn't notice that Huo Wu was watching him from behind, and hadn't moved for a long time.

Leaving the girls' Dormitory, Quanyi didn't return to his Dormitory, but walked towards the Training Ground where he usually exercised.

It was quiet and empty here, so even if Quanyi did something, it wouldn't disturb the other students.

Although it wasn't yet time to exercise, Quanyi had some things he wanted to try.

Quanyi took out several stones from the Blazing Sun Heart, all of which had red Rhino's Mark on them.

This was a "grenade" that Quanyi had specially prepared to deal with Bai Yan Teacher.

Although the teacher had said that he could use it directly on her, Quanyi thought about it carefully. Unless the teacher got really close to him, he wouldn't be able to touch her at all.

And Huo Wu's Soul Power was limited, so she couldn't last for fifteen minutes. That's why Quanyi created these "grenades."

However, because of Huo Wu's outburst, a lot of them were left over.

Quanyi picked up one of them and tossed it in his hand, feeling the weight of about ten pieces.

Then, imitating the posture of a baseball pitcher that appeared in his mind, he threw it forward with all his strength.

"Rhino's Mark, Variant, Pitcher Mode."

Although the stone was lighter than a baseball, under Quanyi's powerful strength, it easily exceeded 200 kilometers per hour.

"Bang!"

As soon as it exceeded fifty meters away from Quanyi, the stone immediately burst open with an explosion.

Watching the explosion, Quanyi was thoughtful.

This time, Quanyi deliberately did not summon the Blazing Sun Gauntlets. He found that without summoning his Martial Soul, he couldn't sense or control the Rhino's Mark.

However, the characteristic of exploding once it was fifty meters away from Quanyi did not disappear.

This was a new discovery.

Quanyi noted this characteristic in his mind.

"Blazing Sun Gauntlets."

Quanyi's hands flashed red, and his hands were covered in steel.

This time, Quanyi planned to try what would happen in the state of wearing the gauntlets.

As soon as the Martial Soul appeared, information about the location of all the Rhino's Marks immediately appeared in his mind.

Quanyi closed his eyes, concentrating his mind on the information in his mind. Then, he accurately kicked a pile of stones with his foot.

In Quanyi's perception, he could clearly know the positional changes of each stone.

Then, Quanyi kept his eyes closed and picked up all the scattered stones again.

Quanyi reopened his eyes, unable to hide the smile on his face.

As expected, his previous perception was correct. He could clearly perceive the location of all the marks.

Quanyi had never created a large number of "grenades" at the same time for safety reasons.

This surprising discovery opened a brand new door for him.
