"I'm not like you, I'm right-handed, and my left hand isn't as flexible as my right," Huo Wu replied, surprised.
"That's perfect. This is a good opportunity to help you train your left hand. Your Soul Skill should be usable with both hands at the same time, right?"
Recalling the duel with Huo Wu, her final blow left a deep impression on Quanyi.
At that time, he thought that if Huo Wu had used a double whip, it would have been more difficult for him to deal with.
"Yes."
After answering, Huo Wu quickly realized Quanyi's deeper meaning.
"That's great. If you practice your left hand well, you can use double whips at the same time. Two whips are definitely stronger than one."
"Okay."
Huo Wu's eyes lit up. Quanyi's suggestion was a direction she had never considered.
The whip in Huo Wu's right hand gradually dissipated.
Then, it re-condensed in her left hand.
"Pa. Round two, continue." Huo Wu struck the ground hard and said excitedly.
"Pa pa."
The accuracy and speed were slightly inferior to her right hand, but not by much.
Huo Wu's talent was indeed amazing, and the flexibility of her left hand was increasing at a visible rate.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Huo Wu's left hand could quickly catch up with her right.
Fifteen minutes later, the continuous full-strength attacks left her drenched in sweat.
Quanyi was also drenched in sweat because of the high temperature.
Moreover, the Soul Power consumption was greater than expected.
Unlike Quan Yue's attacks, Huo Wu's attacks would wear down Quanyi's Soul Power.
Although brief contact wouldn't consume much, the consumption would be significant over a long period.
In terms of difficulty alone, Huo Wu's effect was comparable to Quan Yue's.
"Rest for half an hour, then continue."
"Okay."
The two sat cross-legged, using Meditation to recover their Soul Power.
"Time's up."
Fifteen minutes with the right hand, fifteen minutes with the left hand, and half an hour to recover Soul Power.
The two repeated this process twice.
Quanyi was very satisfied with the training effect.
"Not bad, not bad. Xiao Wu, let's continue tomorrow." Quanyi smiled and patted Huo Wu's shoulder with satisfaction.
Huo Wu, her hair soaked with sweat, glared at him.
She couldn't even lift her arms anymore.
"I'm going back first," Huo Wu replied weakly.
"Good work."
After Huo Wu left, Quanyi continued to practice his boxing skills in the training ground for another hour.
Dinner time.
Quanyi ate the Soul Beast Meat that was over six hundred years old and clearly felt that its effectiveness was not as good as before.
First of all, he didn't experience the immediate recovery effect he used to.
Quanyi's consumption wasn't that great now, so he could still tolerate the Soul Beast Meat that was over six hundred years old.
However, once he resumes his limit state cultivation, the six-hundred-year Soul Beast Meat definitely won't be enough to support three limit training sessions a day.
This is also a very troublesome part for Quanyi.
The next day, Quanyi opened his eyes in the Simulated Environment training ground of the Academy.
"Reaching the Soul Elder realm, the speed of level increase has actually slowed down so much."
Quanyi's cultivation speed hasn't changed; in fact, it's even faster than before due to the Soul Power cultivation method he organized himself.
However, the amount of Soul Power that needs to be accumulated for each level in the Soul Elder realm is much more than in the Great Soul Master realm.
At the current rate, Quanyi's cultivation speed has gone from four levels a year to about 2.5 to 3 levels a year.
In other words, it will take Quanyi about two years to break through to the Soul Grandmaster realm.
The decrease in speed made Quanyi a little uncomfortable, but his speed was already at the top level on the continent.
"Don't be greedy, take it one step at a time."
Quanyi adjusted his mindset and walked out of the Meditation room.
After the start of the semester, Quanyi also returned to his normal cultivation routine.
Quanyi's training content has increased a lot.
There's physical training, Meditation, fist technique practice, and Liu's training.
From Monday to Friday, Quanyi is at the Academy.
On Saturdays and Sundays, he goes to the Research Institute to study new Gunpowder and Firearms.
Two weeks later, on a Saturday.
Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop.
Quanyi and Yuan Blacksmith are studying a huge blueprint.
The blueprint is composed of multiple drawings.
It's a machine tool blueprint.
It's another attempt by Quanyi.
"Young Master, with such a large size, it will take more time with the remaining staff here."
The huge blueprint spread out in front of him made Yuan Blacksmith feel troubled.
The machine tool is huge, and it's made up of various parts, making the forging difficulty far beyond imagination.
Moreover, most of the Blacksmith Shop's staff has been transferred away, and the remaining people alone can't speed up the progress.
"It's okay, we don't need the help of others. Today, let's try an alternative forging method. Is the part I asked you to prepare earlier ready?" Quanyi showed a confident smile.
"It's ready. Please come with me."
Yuan Blacksmith led Quanyi into his Forging Room.
Upon entering the Forging Room, what came into view was a long, rectangular iron table.
Next to the table, on a wooden table, were various miscellaneous parts.
Quanyi's goal is to make a boring machine for making firearm barrels.
The biggest problem with hand-forged barrels is the unevenness inside the barrel.
Not all blacksmiths have Yuan Blacksmith's level of skill, and they can't make the inside and outside of the barrel equally smooth.
However, this has a huge impact on the range of the Firearm, and so on.
Now, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er are acquiring many mines.
Saltpeter mines and other neglected mining areas are places where they can find bargains.
However, before Quanyi officially expands production, he wants to further optimize the Firearm.
Quanyi picked up a sharp and pointed boring tool and examined it carefully.
This is the most important part of the entire machine tool.
It's made from Iron Essence, mixed with other metals, forged into a new alloy.
It's the latest product from the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop, with extremely high hardness, enough to serve as a boring tool.
"Young Master, with just the two of us, how will we assemble these parts together?"
The connection between metal parts is very difficult because there are no connecting devices such as screws.
Yuan Blacksmith was also very curious about Quanyi's method.
"Just watch."
Quanyi took out two pairs of goggles from the Blazing Sun Heart, handing one to Yuan Blacksmith, and putting the other on his own head.
"Put them on."
Yuan Blacksmith was amazed by the novel shape and the dark lenses.
Although somewhat strange, he imitated Quanyi's actions and put them on.
The moment he put them on, the light in the room noticeably dimmed.
Although dim, he could clearly see the situation inside the room.
Seeing that Yuan Blacksmith had put on the goggles, Quanyi summoned his Martial Soul.
Blazing Sun Gauntlets.
His right hand formed a sword finger.
"Pfft~!"
A five-centimeter-long ray of flame emerged from the tip of his sword finger.
Then, Quanyi used his left hand to press the parts onto the metal table.
Next, his hand formed a gun shape, and the ray aimed at the edge of the parts, pressing down.
"Tzz Tzz Tzz~"
The lightning-like thunder and the splashing sparks startled Yuan Blacksmith.
Moreover, the part where the flame laser touched the metal emitted a strong white light.
Even though Yuan Blacksmith was wearing goggles, he still squinted slightly.
"This is!"
Yuan Blacksmith saw that the places where the flame flashed would be fused together by the high temperature, and then welded to the metal below.
Yuan Blacksmith had never seen such a convenient method.
