As dusk approached, the Research Institute was dimly lit without any lamps.
However, within the subdued interior, a Bicycle emitted a golden glow.
Aesthetically, the Bicycle's appearance and color were extremely cool, closely resembling a mountain bike from his previous life.
Moreover, this Bicycle featured a groundbreaking chain drive system.
It used two fixed sprockets connected by a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the rear wheel.
Although it lacked the gears for shifting found in his previous life, Quan Yi was already very satisfied.
"Can I try it out?" Quan Yi asked eagerly.
"Of course, Young Master. You may test it as you wish."
Blacksmith Yuan was quite confident in the quality of this Bicycle.
Quan Yi approached the Bicycle, sensing a familiar aura emanating from it.
A divine aura.
Indeed, he could feel a significant divine aura from the entire Bicycle.
The most crucial parts, the frame and sprockets, were actually crafted from the bones of a Fire Spirit Holy Beast.
The shimmering golden glow emanated from the white bone frame.
The seat and handlebars of the Bicycle were thoughtfully made from the soft fur of the Fire Spirit Holy Beast.
Quan Yi placed his hand on the top tube of the Bicycle, the bar running across the middle.
He applied slight pressure, but under his immense strength, the frame remained incredibly stable, with only a slight compression of the front and rear tires.
When Quan Yi released his hand, the elastic tires returned to their original shape.
Seeing this, Quan Yi smiled contentedly, "As expected of Blacksmith Yuan, the quality and appearance are impeccable. However, it must have taken a lot of molds to shape these bones, right?"
To create this Bicycle, Quan Yi had left the Fire Spirit Holy Beast materials with Blacksmith Yuan, instructing him to use them on the Bicycle.
The Fire Spirit Holy Beast's bones were tough enough to rival the finest metals, and their density was lower, making them ideal for manufacturing a Bicycle.
Blacksmith Yuan said softly, "Before, it would have taken at least eight years to grind such hard materials, but with Steam power, it's easy to grind them by just consuming water, Charcoal, and a little Iron Essence."
Quan Yi nodded slightly, gently lifted the Bicycle, skillfully kicked up the stand with his heel, and then swung his leg over to mount it.
Sitting on the soft leather seat, he lightly pressed on the pedals, and the Bicycle smoothly moved within the spacious Research Institute.
Quan Yi's movements were gentle, but with a light push of his right foot, the Bicycle propelled him several meters.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Although the speed was much slower than flying with his Fire Spirit Body, Quan Yi still shouted excitedly.
In his previous life, Quan Yi often rode the Dean's Bicycle at the orphanage.
The best thing about a Bicycle is that it allows one to experience the feeling of chasing the wind with just their own power.
Quan Yi gradually accelerated, directly reaching a speed of twenty kilometers per hour.
However, the effort Quan Yi expended was only equivalent to that of normal walking.
In just a few minutes, Quan Yi rode from one end of the Research Institute to the other, effortlessly traversing a kilometer.
Reaching the end, Quan Yi deftly turned the handlebars, safely changing direction without slowing down.
On the return trip, Quan Yi intentionally tested the Bicycle's limits, suddenly applying force with both feet.
Instantly, in the windless room, Quan Yi clearly felt a strong headwind.
Quan Yi's speed reached forty kilometers per hour.
Facing the wind resistance, Quan Yi instinctively lowered his body, further accelerating his feet.
Fifty kilometers per hour.
Sixty kilometers per hour.
Quan Yi's speed soared in an extremely short time.
In less than a minute, Quan Yi returned the way he came, back to the entrance.
"Beep~!"
A piercing screeching sound rang out.
The high-speed bicycle came to a steady stop just before it was about to hit the threshold.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Blacksmith Yuan asked with concern.
Quan Yi waved his hand, then replied easily, "I'm fine, I'm used to this speed."
He got off the bicycle, put down the kickstand, and praised excitedly, "Blacksmith Yuan, as expected of you, both the brakes and the quality are impeccable."
According to his initial tests, this bicycle could easily withstand the power of a Soul Emperor.
Moreover, this was not the limit of the bicycle. Due to space limitations, Quan Yi could not exert his full strength.
But according to his feeling, even if he used the power of a Soul Douluo, this bicycle could withstand it perfectly.
After all, the bones of the Fire Spirit Holy Beast were extremely difficult to shake even with his power.
Blacksmith Yuan said modestly, "I just replicated it according to the Young Master's design drawings. Without the Young Master's whimsical ideas and materials, I would never have been able to create such a magical means of transportation in my life."
Quan Yi scratched his cheek with a slightly embarrassed expression, and quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this. Is the bicycle production line ready?"
Blacksmith Yuan said with a serious expression, "It's ready. As long as you give the order, the production line can be put into operation immediately. According to the test, as long as the materials are sufficient, we can produce a hundred Refined Iron bicycles a day."
"That's good, you guys get ready, soon our Blacksmith Shop will be busy."
Quan Yi put the bicycle back into his Blazing Sun Heart, and then said goodbye to Blacksmith Yuan.
...
A week later.
The Academy officially entered the holiday.
The Blazing Fire Team's practical training also came to an end.
Huo Wu also had a rare opportunity to rest.
More than two months of practical training had made Huo Wu's name completely resound throughout Saus City.
The Blazing Fire Team, led by Huo Wu, had won consecutive battles in two months, and won the Gold Soul Arena badge of the Blazing Fire Team in one fell swoop.
This was still an achievement obtained on the premise that the average Soul Power level in the team was less than thirty-five, and its gold content was self-evident.
If it weren't for the need to cooperate with Ling Yun and Wang Xing, who were still in the Soul Greatmaster realm, they could have obtained the Gold badge of the Soul Fight Arena in less than a month.
The biggest reason for being able to achieve the current achievements lies in Huo Wu's strength.
You should know that in the practical battles of the Soul Fight Arena, Huo Wu didn't even use her freakish Third Soul Skill.
Relying only on her powerful Fire Control ability and the team's cooperation, she could win repeatedly in battles.
The Academy's holiday had little to do with the Team, but after experiencing high-intensity practical training, the two Support System members in the team successfully broke through level 30.
When the two members of the team went to obtain Soul Rings, the Team Battle training could not continue.
Therefore, the Academy provided the Team with rest time, but it happened to coincide with the Academy's holiday date.
Taking advantage of this rest time, Quan Yi happened to have something to do, so he took Huo Wu to the city.
"Xiao Yi, is this the place you said you wanted to take me to?"
Huo Wu and Quan Yi stood in front of a domed building. There was no sign at the entrance of the building, only a hammer pattern.
The appearance of this hammer was not the appearance of a forging hammer, but a special Auction Hammer.
