Quan Yi carefully sensed the intense Fire Poison, a look of surprise in his heart.
He thought to himself, *"The intensity of the Fire Poison emitted by this metal is no less than that of the Blazing Apricot Jiaoshu. Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to stay beside it for long.
Moreover, it's incredibly hard."*
Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Claw gripped the metal with force, but the Scarlet Dragon Claw, which could easily excavate the hard rock layers underground, was helpless against this metal.
Seeing this, Quan Yi felt a surge of joy, but at the same time, he wanted to test the metal's limits.
Immediately, Quan Yi's claws completely grasped the entire metal, and terrifying flames that could easily melt gold spewed from his palms.
Quan Yi's Ultimate Fire burned the metal to its heart's content between his relatively closed claws.
However, several minutes passed, and the metal showed no signs of softening.
One should know that ordinary metal would soften in a matter of seconds under Quan Yi's flames.
Yet, this metal remained motionless.
The fact that Quan Yi's strength and flames were unable to affect this metal was enough to demonstrate its terrifying nature.
After testing the metal's toughness, Quan Yi happily said, "I've really found a treasure this time."
This metal, which contained a vast amount of Fire Element power, could be crafted into a powerful Soul Guidance Device with a little work.
Although its forging difficulty was extremely high, this was not a major problem for Quan Yi.
If flames couldn't soften it, then he would use Soul Power and strength to shape it little by little.
Even if it was crafted into a simple spear weapon, it would already be an extremely terrifying weapon.
If suitable Soul Guidance Device patterns were engraved on it, this metal could unleash even more terrifying effects.
Quan Yi stored the metal in the Blazing Sun Heart and returned to the surface.
Stepping out of the cave, the sky was bright, and Quan Yi looked at Huo Wu with some apology, "Sorry, I kept you waiting. The metal has been successfully retrieved, let's go back."
Seeing Quan Yi finally return, Huo Wu immediately patted her butt, stood up, and asked, "What kind of ore is it? Can I take a look?"
Huo Wu curiously looked behind Quan Yi, assuming he would carry it with him, but it was nowhere to be seen.
Quan Yi replied, "You can, but this metal emits terrifying Fire Poison. Without Fire Immunity, even Fire-attribute Soul Masters can't withstand it easily.
Xiao Wu, are you sure you want to see it?"
Huo Wu refused to admit defeat, "Xiao Yi, you underestimate me too much. I am a level fifty-five Soul King powerhouse. I want to see what kind of metal is so powerful."
Huo Wu didn't believe it, nor was she surprised. After all, it was Quan Yi's first time seeing such a special metal.
Quan Yi examined Huo Wu and found that her physical strength was much stronger than before her breakthrough. The surging Qi and blood flowing within her body gave off a peculiar feeling.
According to Quan Yi's own intuitive feeling, Huo Wu's physical strength alone had surpassed the Soul Saint level and reached the Soul Douluo level.
Extreme strength-type Soul Masters at the Soul King level could indeed be equal to Soul Saints in terms of strength.
Huo Wu and Quan Yi were pursuing similar directions to the aforementioned, but they were even more radical than them.
They absorbed Soul Rings that exceeded their limits, taking it to the next level on an already extreme foundation.
Although Huo Wu was slightly slower than Quan Yi, she had accumulated a huge advantage over ordinary Soul Masters since her Third Soul Ring.
Starting from her Fourth Soul Ring, Huo Wu chose Soul Ring categories that were more suitable for the comprehensive development of the Fire Shadow Martial Soul, which allowed Huo Wu's body to develop in all aspects.
Although this resulted in Huo Wu's strength growth being inferior to Quan Yi's, this development was better in terms of comprehensiveness and more suitable for the development of Control System Soul Masters.
Now, after absorbing her Fifth Soul Ring, Huo Wu had not only opened up a Hidden Meridian but also gained the attribute bonus of a Forty Thousand Year Soul Ring. Huo Wu's physical fitness was no less than that of a Soul Douluo.
Seeing this, Quan Yi felt that Huo Wu should be able to withstand the Fire Poison's invasion if it was only for a moment.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, take a few steps back first."
Huo Wu retreated slightly, looking at Quan Yi expectantly.
When Quan Yi touched the necklace on his chest with his right hand, a huge metal block appeared between them.
*"Bang!"*
The metal hit the ground with a dull thud, and as it made contact, intense heat spread in all directions.
Huo Wu's body immediately felt extreme discomfort, her skin experiencing a severe burning sensation.
This was a sign of Fire Poison erosion.
Huo Wu could withstand high temperatures, but she couldn't endure excessive Fire Poison.
Quan Yi immediately reminded her, "Xiao Wu, circulate your Soul Power to resist the Fire Poison's invasion."
Huo Wu instinctively circulated her Soul Power, and an orange-red Soul Power glow covered her entire body.
This immediately eliminated the discomfort in Huo Wu's body.
Having truly experienced this Fire Poison, Huo Wu realized the extraordinary nature of this metal.
She asked, "What kind of metal is this? What can it be used for?"
Quan Yi replied, "I'm not sure what it is exactly, but with its inherent toughness and immense Fire Element power, whatever we use it for won't be bad."
With that, Quan Yi put the metal away again.
"Alright, this trip can be considered a perfect ending. Let's go back."
Quan Yi walked to Huo Wu's side, took her arm, and summoned the Scarlet Dragon.
In two days, Quan Yi and Huo Wu had completed both hunting Soul Beasts and mining rare metals.
Even two Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to achieve such terrifying efficiency.
Quan Yi's scouting ability, mobility, and Huo Wu's stealth skills allowed the two to enter the Star Dou Great Forest as if it were no man's land.
On the way back, Huo Wu suddenly exclaimed, "If we go back now, the Academy won't have started its vacation yet, so we can still make it to the Academy's graduation ceremony.
Starting next semester, we'll be officially entering the Advanced Academy."
Six years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The two were about to end their daily lives at the Intermediate Academy and officially begin their schedule at the Advanced Academy.
Quan Yi smiled nonchalantly, "The Advanced Academy isn't any different. Besides, the two Academy grounds are connected, so we don't even have to move Dormitories."
Huo Wu, however, said with an excited expression, "How is it not different? When we get to the Advanced Academy, we can participate in the Continent Advanced Elite Tournament. I want to properly promote the name of the Blazing Fire Academy at the Continent's prestigious event."
The Blazing Fire Academy was of great significance to Huo Wu, as it was a family business.
Since she was young, she had been given high expectations by her family due to her talent. If she could lead the Blazing Fire Team to win first place on the continent, the Blazing Fire Academy's reputation would definitely increase greatly.
As a result, the Blazing Fire Academy would be able to obtain more students and support.
This was an important way to repay the family's cultivation, and it was also Huo Wu's short-term goal.
As the time approached, Huo Wu's heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
