The third day after the start of school, Quanyi and Huo Wu tasted failure for the first time in their lives.
But at the same time, this failure was also an important turning point.
From this day on, Quanyi and Huo Wu retracted all their arrogance.
They began to value cultivation more and more.
For the entire First Semester, Quanyi and Huo Wu thought about cultivation every day they opened their eyes, living an extremely disciplined and fulfilling life.
In every combat training session, Quanyi and Huo Wu would ask the teacher to hone them to a higher standard.
Although this also led to more losses than wins in combat training, their actual combat capabilities and tacit understanding continued to improve in the high-pressure battles.
The process was very hard, but the pleasure of growing rapidly every day made Quanyi and Huo Wu unable to stop.
However, under such high-intensity training, even Quanyi's iron-clad body could not avoid feeling tired.
After a month of continuous high-intensity training, Quanyi gradually felt both physical and mental fatigue.
More importantly, fatigue actually dragged down Quanyi's cultivation progress and efficiency.
Starting from the second month, Quanyi judged that he could no longer continue like this, and decisively adjusted his cultivation plan.
In order to maintain efficient training, Quanyi would take a day off every weekend to sleep.
After a good night's sleep, Quanyi found that the principle of combining work and rest also applied in this world.
After this incident, Quanyi also understood one thing, that Meditation could not completely replace the role of sleep after all.
Regular sleep and rest can keep Quanyi's mind and body more active.
As a result, a slight adjustment greatly increased Quanyi's training effect.
Quanyi had only just begun to cultivate as a Soul Master and was still in the learning stage. Therefore, Quanyi did not stubbornly stick to his own opinions, but constantly adjusted and corrected his cultivation methods according to his own state.
Although Quanyi increased his rest time, there was one thing he did not change.
That was Meditation cultivation.
Quanyi connected his Sunday Meditation cultivation to Saturday. He changed it to start on Saturday evening and continue until Sunday morning.
As Soul Power and physical fitness improved, Quanyi was able to dive deeper into the Simulated Environment training ground.
Throughout the Academy, no one could go deeper than him except the teachers. Even Huo Wu Shuang, the more than level 20 Beast Martial Soul Great Soul Master, was no exception.
With persistent Meditation, coupled with the excellent Simulated Environment training ground, Quanyi's Soul Power grew rapidly.
The speed of Soul Power level improvement was basically maintained at one level every three months.
As the First Semester drew to a close, Quanyi's Soul Power level had already reached an astonishing level 19.
Recently, Quanyi has been working hard to break through the level 20 bottleneck.
First Semester, the last day, night.
Second floor of the Dining Hall.
"Xiao Yi, the holiday is tomorrow, are you going home?"
Huo Wu, after a year, has undergone very significant changes in appearance, that is, the degree of physical development far exceeds that of ordinary people, and the childish face has also begun to fade away.
The answerer was Quanyi. After a year, Quanyi's appearance has also undergone earth-shaking changes. His body has become taller and stronger with the increase in height, and the distinct and smooth muscle lines all show the power of the flesh.
Unlike the hidden Soul Power level, the changes in the body are obvious. Quanyi's body has become even more terrifying after a year of training.
Its strength completely surpassed the physical strength of the Beast Martial Soul Great Soul Master, and his main basis was Huo Wu Shuang.
"Pervert." Huo Wu couldn't help but spit lightly.
The two of them spent most of their time together in a year, which made the relationship between Huo Wu and Quanyi more and more intimate, to the point where they could joke with each other.
"Hey, didn't you also break through to level 17 a few days ago? Improving four levels in a year, your upgrade speed is not much different from mine."
Although Huo Wu's cultivation speed is not as good as Quanyi's, it has already surpassed 99% of Soul Masters, and is at the top level in the Soul Master world.
Influenced by Quanyi, Huo Wu's dedication to cultivation was no less than Quanyi's, and she made considerable progress in all aspects such as Soul Power level, physical fitness, and combat experience.
"Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it. How did the topic get here?" Huo Wu waved her hand helplessly.
Although there was no contempt in Quanyi's tone, Huo Wu still felt a hint of Versailles in it.
"I'm going home for the holidays. The next time we meet should be next semester," Huo Wu said, as she came to say goodbye.
"Okay, see you next semester. By the way, don't slack off in your cultivation even when you're home."
"I know, I know. My dad isn't as long-winded as you. I'll be going now. See you next semester."
Although that's what she said, Huo Wu was actually very reluctant to part ways. The thought of them separating made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Huo Wu's home was quite close to the Academy, so she could have left in the afternoon, but she stayed until the evening to accompany Quanyi in his cultivation. But this was the limit. The carriage picking her up and her brother were still waiting for her, and she would leave after dinner.
"Do you want me to see you off?"
"No need, I still need to pack my luggage, which will take some time, and my family will pick me up. No need to worry."
"Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road."
The two said goodbye in the Dining Hall.
Watching Huo Wu walk away, Quanyi also felt a surge of reluctance in his heart. Not only Huo Wu, but Quanyi had also developed deep feelings for this girl who had always been by his side.
"I should go cultivate too."
Quanyi composed himself and headed to the Simulated Environment training ground to begin his night cultivation.
During the holidays, the Academy only suspended classes, while facilities such as the Simulated Environment training ground, library, and Dining Hall remained open.
This provided convenience for many diligent students.
Quanyi gradually went deeper into the cave. The further down he went, the higher the temperature became. Quanyi quickly reached the eighty-degree mark.
However, for him now, this temperature could no longer stop him.
Ninety degrees.
This was Quanyi's current limit. Even some teachers couldn't withstand this temperature for long.
But Quanyi's well-tempered body and strong will supported him in reaching this point.
Entering the cultivation room, Quanyi sat cross-legged on the Prayer Mat and slowly closed his eyes.
Soon, he began to attack the level 20 bottleneck.
The Soul Power in Quanyi's body circulated according to a certain trajectory. His cultivation speed was at least 15% faster than it was a year ago.
Fifteen percent might not seem like much, but Meditation is a process of accumulation over time. Over a longer period, this 15% would save the Soul Master a lot more time.
For example, if a car speeds up by 15%, then, assuming the destination is the same, its time will be reduced by 13%.
Of course, a Soul Master's cultivation cannot be as smooth and constant as a car, but even so, the improvement in efficiency will inevitably lead to a reduction in time.
Moreover, the cultivation bonus of the Simulated Environment training ground and the cultivation method would have a multiplicative effect, and the Soul Power accumulation time would be further reduced. At least within the Soul Master and even the Great Soul Master realm, Quanyi's cultivation time would be reduced by more than 13%.
At this moment, every time Quanyi circulated a cycle, the Soul Power in his body would increase by a bit, and every time the Soul Power increased by a bit, the impact of the Soul Power would increase by a bit.
The bottleneck in Quanyi's body had long become precarious under the impact of the Soul Power, which was why Quanyi chose to seclude himself today.
With the breakthrough imminent, Quanyi maintained a certain rhythm, circulating his Soul Power neither too fast nor too slow.
Quanyi's seclusion lasted for more than ten hours. In the dim cultivation room, Quanyi slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
"I broke through."
On the first day of the holiday, Quanyi officially broke through level 20.
