The limit… this is already a true limit in every sense of the word.
Should I end the test?
The thought of giving up flashed through Quan Yi's mind.
No, limits are meant to be broken. I can't give up here.
Countless days and nights on the verge of the limit flashed through Quan Yi's mind.
Whenever the limit arrived, Quan Yi's choice was always to break through head-on, never to retreat.
Quan Yi's spirit seemed to be burning. He used his hands to forcefully support his knees, beginning to straighten his body slowly against the pressure.
Just then, a shattering sound suddenly came from Quan Yi's mind.
The soul power squeezed within his meridians began to flow in a direction Quan Yi had never imagined.
Soul power converged at a certain point at the bottom of his body, and along the meridians of his back, connected to his brain, outlining a soul power circulation path that Quan Yi had never conceived of.
Quan Yi's body also felt a wave of relief, and his body, flushed red with blood from the pressure, returned to normal.
With the circulation of soul power, Quan Yi's soul power became more refined, and the fire attribute aura within the soul power became even hotter.
The refined soul power, once again following a special path, flowed from bottom to top, passing through his entire back.
This made Quan Yi's waist stronger, and then his spine, directly against the powerful pressure, straightened up.
Even more crucial was that Quan Yi's kidneys on both sides of his lower back felt as if they were being massaged by warm hands, becoming incomparably comfortable.
Which in turn affected a certain embarrassing part of Quan Yi's body.
Quan Yi's abnormality caused Quan Li to quickly withdraw his soul power pressure.
Just as he was about to step forward to check on Quan Yi's condition, Quan Li noticed the embarrassing scene.
"Hoh hoh, truly not to be underestimated, worthy of being a seed of our Quan family."
He could only close his eyes tightly, pretending not to hear.
Although he felt somewhat ashamed and indignant, Quan Yi had more important things to deal with.
He was constantly memorizing the circulation path of his soul power.
His soul power was still running at high speed, bringing tremendous changes to Quan Yi's body.
At this moment, Quan Yi realized that he seemed to have opened up some kind of hidden meridian in his body, just like the content in the martial arts novels of his previous life.
Sure enough, the meditation in this world is the same as internal energy cultivation in his previous life.
Although Quan Yi didn't know exactly what the hidden meridian he had opened up was, this change was definitely a rare opportunity for him.
Indeed, Quan Yi's thoughts were spot on.
This time, in a situation close to the limit, Quan Yi miraculously opened up the Du Meridian, known as the "Sea of Yang Meridians" among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Under normal circumstances, soul power cannot circulate through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, so Quan Yi had never discovered their existence during his cultivation.
But once they are opened, they are of great benefit to soul masters.
However, opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians is not an easy task.
First, the soul master needs to have profound soul power cultivation, and the younger the age, the easier it is to open them.
Quan Yi, who reached level forty at the age of ten, undoubtedly met this condition.
Second, the soul master's body strength must be strong enough.
For Quan Yi, who had absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul bone and had been undergoing extreme training all year round, no one was more qualified than him.
Moreover, this time Quan Yi opened up the Du Meridian under the soul power suppression of a Soul Douluo level.
One can imagine how difficult it was.
When the soul power subsided on its own, Quan Yi slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he only felt energetic, his body had never been so relaxed.
His physical attributes had increased significantly, and this improvement was all-round. Quan Yi's agility, strength, and even his spirit had greatly improved.
Moreover, Quan Yi could also sense that his soul power level had definitely increased a lot, but because he was blocked by the level forty limit, Quan Yi couldn't sense exactly how much it had increased, but it must be considerable.
"How is it, Xiao Yi?" Quan Li asked curiously.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Thanks to your soul power pressure, I was able to have this opportunity."
Quan Yi's eyes were full of joy.
The benefits of opening up the hidden meridians this time were enormous, and this influence was far-reaching, not just ending with today's opening.
Moreover, knowing the existence of hidden meridians, Quan Yi would be able to find other hidden meridians through the same method.
This was the biggest gain from this test.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Sunset Forest, at the entrance.
Two tall men stood at the entrance.
They were none other than Quan Yi and Quan Li.
"Our goal is the inner circle, so I will speed up from the beginning. Remember to keep up with my speed."
Coming to Sunset Forest, their purpose was for Quan Yi's fourth soul ring.
However, due to years of hunting, the number of soul beasts in Sunset Forest had sharply decreased.
Now, most of the soul beasts in Sunset Forest are between ten thousand and one thousand years old.
To encounter soul beasts older than ten thousand years, one must go deep into the forest.
"Grandpa, I have no problem."
Quan Yi replied to Quan Li with full confidence.
Quan Yi had not been idle for the past three months.
He had been busy absorbing and digesting the benefits of the Green Bamboo Brew and opening up the hidden meridians.
Although he had not yet absorbed a soul ring, Quan Yi's strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Quan Li also nodded in agreement.
He was most aware of Quan Yi's progress in these three months.
"Alright, let's go."
Quan Li rushed directly into Sunset Forest. Although he did not use soul power or martial soul, his speed was already comparable to that of an agility-attack Soul Emperor.
However, at the moment Quan Li started, Quan Yi quickly reacted and closely followed behind Quan Li.
His footsteps were not at all slower than Quan Li's.
If it were three months ago, Quan Yi would definitely not have been able to keep up with Quan Li's pace.
Two weeks had passed since entering the inner perimeter of Sunset Forest.
Quan Yi and Quan Li had not yet found a ten-thousand-year soul beast that met Quan Yi's requirements.
On a sunny day.
Quan Yi and Quan Li sat around a small hill.
On the hillside, a huge bonfire rose.
Around the hillside, dozens of tree pits were left behind.
This was because Quan Li had pulled out dozens of thick trees to build a bonfire.
Why would such a big bonfire be lit during the day?
Of course, it was to roast a large enough soul beast.
On the other side of the hillside, lay a pitch-black big pig.
Thick Earth Wild Boar.
It was a soul beast overlord capable of manipulating earth and mud.
Its powerful physical strength and thick tusks demonstrated its ferocious strength.
Moreover, more importantly, this Thick Earth Wild Boar was as old as eight thousand years.
"Xiao Yi, is it ready yet? Can we eat it?" Quan Li drooled, anxiously urging Quan Yi.
The aroma of meat wafted through the air, and the oil dripping from the meat block drove him crazy.
At this moment, Quan Yi was actually holding an unusually thick rib, directly roasting the meat block over the hot flames.
"Wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."
Wearing the Fiery Sun Gauntlets, Quan Yi was not afraid of the flames and high temperature, and was wholeheartedly sensing and controlling the flames to evenly roast the ribs.
