Seeing Quan Yi agree, Huo Wu felt much more at ease. She knew that Quan Yi would never break his promise to her.
She knew that doing so had a hint of forcing Quan Yi, and that Quan Yi would ultimately never use her for experiments, but she had to use this method to regulate Quan Yi's increasingly high-spirited and radical emotions.
Quan Yi also understood Huo Wu's good intentions and reflected on his behavior during this time.
He realized that in just a few months, he had engaged in too many radical behaviors to promote the growth of his strength.
But the problem was that all of this happened too fast, so fast that Quan Yi didn't even have time to properly summarize his existing gains before thinking about taking the next step, without a moment's rest.
"Is it the external pressure that has made me unconsciously develop an impatient mentality?"
Quan Yi began to reflect on everything during this time, from the opening of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament to his knowledge of the threat posed by the Spirit Hall.
These complex external factors unconsciously affected his heart.
"It's time to settle down again."
Quan Yi felt a sense of relief and joked to himself. With a relaxed smile, he took Huo Wu's arm and said:
"It's been a long time since we've returned to Blue Silver Island. Why don't we just rest here for a week?"
Seeing Quan Yi's expression, as if he had put down some burden in his heart, Huo Wu's mood was also excellent. She smiled and nodded in agreement.
In the following time, the two lived on Blue Silver Island, met with Quan Li and Yun Qiong, and stayed on the island, familiarizing themselves with the ever-changing changes of the island and helping the two with their affairs.
During this time, the two briefly stopped their crazy cultivation, focusing more on digesting and adapting to the changes after the improvement, and based on this, slowly thinking about the direction of future progress.
And just as the two were leisurely spending a short vacation on the island, Dugu Bo, who had rushed to Heaven Dou City, also arrived at the outer perimeter of the Imperial Palace where the royal members were concentrated.
He did not notify anyone in advance, nor did he attract anyone's attention.
He was hidden in the distant forest, using Dragon Fang's farsighted ability to search the Imperial Palace.
His right eye transformed into a turquoise dragon pupil, and faint colorful treasures shone in the jewel-like pupil.
This was the reaction of Dragon Fang's telescope in his body with the dragon pupil, allowing Dugu Bo to use a perspective view in a more concealed state.
However, among them, only two groups of light immediately attracted Dugu Bo's attention.
The first was a special soul tool located in the Imperial Treasury, which was the divine tool with the power of the Sea God that Quan Yi had seen before.
The noble treasure light that blended azure and gold made Dugu Bo feel great pressure at a glance.
As a guest of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Dugu Bo had heard of this soul tool.
This divine tool is called the Qiankun Hanhai Cover, and it is the treasure of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
After seeing the divine tool forged by Quan Yi, Dugu Bo thought that the Qiankun Hanhai Cover was just a more powerful soul tool, but he didn't expect this thing to be so extraordinary.
However, the Qiankun Hanhai Cover was not his purpose, and he quickly shifted his attention from it to the second location he suspected.
This second location, like the treasure house, was a very important place in the Imperial Palace.
Because, this is the residence of the First Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe.
After being named Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe lived in the residence specially prepared for the Crown Prince. At this time, he seemed to be handling royal affairs on his desk.
But it was this Crown Prince, whom Dugu Bo was very familiar with, who was seen by him to have hidden energy fluctuations within his body.
The sacred and dazzling golden holy light, and the heroic female appearance hidden under the holy light, Dugu Bo's heart inevitably skipped a beat.
"As expected, it's you, Xue Qinghe.
No, you are not Xue Qinghe, who are you after all?"
Dugu Bo muttered in his heart, looking extremely shocked, but not too surprised.
This was because, before the search, he had already listed Xue Qinghe as the number one suspect.
In fact, within the royal family, or more precisely, Xue Xing, the Prince with close ties to him, who was also Emperor Xue Ye's younger brother, had long suspected Xue Qinghe.
He suspected that the successive deaths of the other princes besides the First Prince were not mere accidents, but were likely caused by Xue Qinghe, but he had no evidence and could not report it.
A complicated look flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
He originally wanted to tell others about this discovery as soon as possible, but he quickly extinguished this thought.
Dugu Bo considered Quan Yi. He was worried that if he revealed this news, it might affect Quan Yi's plan.
In the end, Dugu Bo stared for a long time before quietly disappearing from the dense forest.
Dugu Bo's visit to the Imperial Palace did not cause any disturbance.
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Dugu Bo did not stay and went directly to the area where Su Ling'er and Quan Ni were located. Under the pretext of teaching Quan Ni, he stayed nearby to secretly protect the two.
A week later.
The second stage of the competition, the promotion competition, was held as scheduled.
The venue for the promotion competition, the Royal Hunting Ground, is located in a vast area fifty kilometers outside Heaven Dou City. Its internal terrain is complex and is a place dedicated to royal personnel for hunting and training.
On weekdays, 10,000 members of the Royal Knights will patrol here to prevent any civilians from approaching and use this to train.
The Royal Knights can be regarded as the strongest force controlled by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Their number totals 50,000, of which captains at the level of commanding hundreds of people are all composed of spirit masters, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Today, this knight order, which the royal family is proud of, is wearing bright silver Mingguang armor, and riding Tianhun horses, which are also covered in heavy armor, guarding the competition venue.
With the load on the Tianhun horse, if it were in its previous life, only a thousand-mile horse could support this weight.
But in the Douluo Continent, even if it is not a soul beast, there are still magic beasts that do not have the qualifications to cultivate soul power, but far exceed ordinary beasts.
Although these magic beasts cannot produce soul rings or soul bones, their strength and bloodlines are not inferior to soul beasts.
The Tianhun horse is a horse with a certain magic beast bloodline. Therefore, even if it is wearing heavy plate armor, it can still gallop.
Outside the Royal Hunting Ground, the Blazing Academy team arrived smoothly and showed the surrounding knights the handwritten notes that Emperor Xue Ye had issued to the academy.
After checking the handwritten notes, the knight led the crowd towards the interior.
Crossing a small hill, what came into view was a vast grassland.
