# Chapter 136 Breakthrough to Level 40
After Huo Wu Shuang returned, his Soul Power level reached thirty-one.
His breakthrough brought the strength of the seven-person Team closer to Quanyi's.
Soul Elder is the watershed for Soul Masters, and Huo Wu Shuang's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
With the blessing of two Mars Martial Souls, Huo Wu Shuang's combat power can compete with a Soul Grandmaster.
Quanyi often found himself in a hard fight when confronting him head-on.
In the end, even if he won, he would expend a lot of Soul Power and energy.
By the tenth month, the average Soul Power level of the entire Team had increased by two levels.
Huo Wu Shuang, level thirty-one.
Huo Wu, level twenty-nine.
Huo Yun, Huo Yu, level twenty-nine.
Lin Meng, level twenty-eight.
Ling Yun, Wang Xing, level twenty-seven.
Quanyi, level forty.
After about eleven months, Quanyi finally broke through from level thirty-eight to level forty.
The higher the Soul Power level, the slower the rate of increase.
Quanyi's Soul Power level increase rate slowed from one level every four months to one level every five months.
One afternoon ten months later.
The Wooden Cabin deep in the forest.
Quanyi rarely trained today. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, leisurely floating on the lake, enjoying the joy of breaking through to level forty.
Just as Quanyi was enjoying the peace, a figure suddenly burst out of the water from the lake beside him.
The dark red hair and splashing water were so dazzling under the sunlight.
This figure was Huo Wu.
Ten months had passed.
Huo Wu's figure became more and more graceful. Long-term exercise and sufficient nutrition made Huo Wu's body shape more and more perfect.
There was not a trace of excess fat anywhere on her body, and her tender white skin exuded the luster of white jade.
Huo Wu was wearing a close-fitting golden-red short sleeve on her upper body and a close-fitting short skirt on her lower body.
The fabric, wet with water, clung tightly to her body, showing Huo Wu's curvy figure to the fullest.
However, at this moment, Quanyi had no intention of appreciating this scene.
During his rare relaxation time, Quanyi was like a turtle, floating motionless on the water, with his eyes closed, using his body to feel the sunshine, breeze, wood fragrance, and water waves.
Let nature wash away the fatigue of body and mind.
However, Huo Wu was a bit restless, swimming happily in the wide lake without stopping for a moment.
Ever since Quanyi taught Huo Wu how to swim, Huo Wu would often play with Quanyi in the water.
As the play progressed, Huo Wu swam to Quanyi's side.
"When are you planning to go to Heaven Dou City?"
Huo Wu asked.
"In a week," Quanyi replied with his eyes closed.
"Oh. When will you be back then?" Huo Wu's expression was a little downcast.
Sensing the change in her tone, Quanyi opened his eyes and saw Huo Wu's expression.
Quanyi rubbed Huo Wu's hair.
"I'm not sure either, but it should take some time. Plus, you're about to break through as well. If you also go to absorb a Soul Ring, we might not see each other again for another half a year."
"Okay then." Huo Wu knew this was unavoidable and could only accept it.
Quanyi had broken through to level 40.
It was time to acquire a Soul Ring.
For the remaining week, Quanyi spent all his time with Huo Wu to comfort her.
Gao Jie also gave them a week's vacation.
Quanyi and Huo Wu did many things during this week that they usually couldn't do because of cultivation.
They went shopping, bought things, and visited famous romantic spots, dating like ordinary couples.
A week later, Quanyi reluctantly said goodbye to his fighting companions and Huo Wu.
He officially set off for Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City was at least two to three thousand kilometers away from Quanyi's town.
It would take at least half a month to travel by carriage.
Along the way, Quanyi witnessed all kinds of people, cities of various sizes, and small towns.
Finally, after half a month, Quanyi arrived at Heaven Dou City, one of the two largest cities on the Douluo Continent.
The high walls and gates were unlike any city Quanyi had seen before.
Saus City, where the Blazing Fire Academy was located,
was the center of a kingdom, a province.
But it was still much smaller than Heaven Dou City.
The main gate was ten meters wide and ten meters high, enough for six or seven wide carriages to pass side by side.
The carriage carrying Quanyi officially entered the interior of Heaven Dou City.
The roads in the city were also extremely wide, each road built to be spacious.
Quanyi's carriage traveled on the road without any feeling of congestion.
The carriage drove directly to the city center and stopped in front of an elegant three-story building.
In front of the building, various luxurious carriages were parked, and one could see elegantly dressed noble men and women going in and out.
The first floor of the building had a giant transparent glass facade.
Through the glass, people could see the elegant and exquisite interior, with various counters displaying precious clothing and decorations.
There were rare metals and valuable garments.
If someone were to steal a small item, it would be enough for them to live a wealthy life for a long time.
This was the Quan Family Boutique in Heaven Dou City.
It was a place that all the wealthy and influential people in the city were keen to visit.
Quanyi, accompanied by a clansman, walked into the shop.
As soon as they entered, a beautiful waitress came forward.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" The waitress was well-trained, and her posture and etiquette were impeccable.
"I want to see the owner here."
Quanyi went straight to the point and took out a letter.
The letter was engraved with an exquisite Gauntlets seal.
The waitress took it and carefully examined it. After seeing the seal on the letter, her pupils shrank.
She respectfully bowed to Quanyi.
She said, "Honorable guest, please follow me."
Quanyi came to a room on the third floor.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Please come in."
From inside the room came the voice of an intellectual and experienced elderly woman.
At this moment, Quanyi was also nervous.
The spacious and bright office had little decoration, only the fragrance of scrolls.
Besides a few simple pieces of furniture, the room only had bookshelves that covered two entire walls.
An elegant and amiable silver-haired old woman sat at the desk.
"Xiao Mu, who is this?"
"Madam, this lord has brought this letter."
The woman was visibly stunned.
Then, many emotions flashed in her eyes.
She stood up and walked quickly to Quanyi.
"You are, Xiao Yi."
"Yes, Grandma." Quanyi replied with a smile.
The old woman's name was Yun Qiong, and she was Quanyi's grandmother.
She was also a level 75 Soul Saint.
Her Martial Soul was Scroll.
"Come, sit down quickly, let's have a good chat."
The old woman was extremely excited and hurriedly pulled Quanyi over to sit on the sofa.
"We haven't been by your side these years, do you resent us? Actually, we did this for your safety.
Over the years, our Quan Family has developed rapidly, which has also created many hostile forces.
Although their individual strength is not strong, they have considerable power, which will have some negative effects on our development."
