Inside the tranquil house.
After a few words of greeting, Quan Yi cut to the chase and explained his intentions and plan to Quan Li.
The usually talkative Quan Li fell into a rare silence after hearing Quan Yi's plan.
After a long while, he asked in a deep voice, "What can I do?"
Quan Li didn't ask why; his words were filled with support.
Why would Quan Li show such an attitude?
The most fundamental reason was that Quan Li, relying on all his senses and that ethereal sixth sense, felt the terrifying power hidden within Quan Yi's body.
If he could clearly recognize the difference in strength between him and Quan Yi a year ago, now that boundary had become very blurred, making it impossible for him to understand.
The reason for this situation was simple: Quan Yi's strength had surpassed him.
Quan Li originally thought that after absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, and using them to break through to the Title Douluo realm, he could widen the gap between him and Quan Yi for a period of time.
However, this gap only lasted for an extremely short time before Quan Yi surpassed him again; in fact, Quan Yi had widened the gap even further.
Quan Li felt both gratified and distressed about this.
Quan Yi had obviously put in unimaginable effort for this.
Thinking of this, Quan Li knew he had no right to stop Quan Yi.
Quan Yi was quite touched to hear Quan Li's question.
"I need Grandpa to help me; after the negotiations are over, I will need Grandpa's power."
"Alright!"
Quan Li agreed to Quan Yi's request without hesitation.
"However, before we leave, I must witness your true strength with my own eyes."
Quan Li's eyes were bright, and a heavy, mountain-like aura erupted from his body.
Endless fighting spirit brewed in his chest.
His calm heart also produced ripples.
"Since that's the case, then I will respectfully accept."
The four of them immediately set off from the town, crossed large fields of farmland, passed through wasteland being reclaimed, and arrived at the westernmost end of Blue Silver Island.
This area was originally covered in dense tropical rainforest.
However, now, this area only had a crisscrossing network of dry branches and vines.
Quan Li and Quan Yi stood in the withered forest, facing each other.
A mile away, Su Ling'er and Huo Wu stood on relatively high ground, looking down at the duel.
An eerie silence flowed through the space.
The two warriors facing each other were secretly gathering their energy.
The next moment, the older Quan Li launched the first attack, without warning or announcement; everything was so sudden.
A Xuan Black Iron Fist covered in sharp thorns instantly approached Quan Yi's eyes.
Quan Li crossed the distance of dozens of meters in an instant.
Even more terrifying was that the fragile withered trees suffered no damage during the movement.
This meant that Quan Li not only had amazing explosive power, but also that his footwork had reached an extremely high level.
Facing Quan Yi, Quan Li didn't hold back at all; although this punch didn't add any soul skills, it condensed Quan Li's nearly a century of combat skills.
As soon as this punch came out, Quan Yi felt his entire body's energy locked by an invisible force; Quan Yi's dodging path seemed to be completely cut off, forcing him to face it head-on.
Skill approached the Dao.
Quan Li had never used this move against Quan Yi before.
Quan Yi understood from this punch alone that Quan Li was getting serious.
The silent iron fist, wrapped in surging power, approached Quan Yi's eyes.
→
In terms of boxing techniques and skills, Quan Yi couldn't compete with Quan Li at all; however, power could break all techniques.
Quan Yi clenched his right fist, and the soul power in his body instantly gathered in his right fist, and the surface of his skin instantly covered with a pure dark gold film.
This was Gang, purely condensed from soul power!
Quan Yi took a step forward, and the terrifying force transmitted from the soles of his feet to the ground, directly causing the hard ground to crack.
Using the reaction force of the ground, the power rising from the ground was completely transmitted to Quan Yi's right fist.
The dark gold right fist slammed out, heavily colliding with Quan Li's unavoidable iron fist.
"Bang!"
The spikes of the mutated Black Iron Gauntlet collided violently with Quan Yi's film.
However, Quan Li found that his sharp fist could not penetrate the thin layer of soul power film covering the surface of the body.
How was this possible?
Quan Li couldn't believe the scene before him.
As the founder of Gang, he knew the limits of Gang best.
Gang, condensed solely by soul power, would ultimately not be able to resist a truly powerful weapon soul in a head-on collision.
However, Quan Yi's Gang showed an extremely terrifying tenacity.
The spikes hitting the fist were like hitting a weapon soul of the same level, or even a higher level.
Also, why did the color of the soul power change from vermilion to dark gold?
For a time, several thoughts flashed through Quan Li's mind, but before he could figure out the matter of Gang, a vast force transmitted from his fist to his arm.
This was an unstoppable force.
Feeling something was wrong, Quan Li no longer tried to resist; he moved his feet quickly and retreated dozens of steps before transferring the power on his shoulders to the ground by stepping on the ground.
"Crack! Crack!"
Each of his footsteps left deep footprints on the ground, and the terrifying power shattered the surrounding withered trees.
What kind of power was this?
Quan Li stared in disbelief at the nonchalant Quan Yi.
At this moment, he only felt his entire right arm trembling slightly.
Even more astonishing was that his martial soul, the Black Iron Gauntlet, was actually trembling.
This was actually Quan Yi's Ultimate Gold attribute, suppressing Quan Li's martial soul.
That's right, Quan Yi didn't use fire-attribute soul power in this punch, but used metal-attribute soul power to construct Gang.
Compared to fire-attribute soul power, metal-attribute soul power was far superior in terms of toughness and stability.
What's more, this wasn't ordinary metal-attribute soul power, but Ultimate Gold.
Even a powerful weapon soul at the Title Douluo level would not be able to penetrate this terrifying film.
Of course, defense alone could not make Quan Li retreat.
In that punch just now, Quan Yi didn't use soul power to enhance his strength; that is to say, apart from the Gang on his hand, Quan Yi was completely relying on the strength of his body to deliver that terrifying punch.
After ten months of training, the baptism of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and the feedback from the martial soul reshaping, Quan Yi's strength had reached an unimaginable realm.
Especially the strength of his fists and feet, under the effect of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, had improved particularly significantly.
In the beginning, Quan Yi's goal before seclusion was to fully adapt to a load of 100,000 kilograms.
However, now, Quan Yi's physical fitness far exceeded the scope of 100,000 kilograms.
Before coming, Quan Yi had put on the weighted armor and the Scarlet Dragon Burning Sky Armor together.
Under a load exceeding 200,000 kilograms, Quan Yi found that he could barely move.
This showed that Quan Yi's limit load had doubled from 100,000 kilograms to 200,000 kilograms.
