The Military School's Profound Armor

Knowing that this was the most crucial moment, if he could kill the Demon Race commander in one fell swoop, the demon tide might not subside, but at least the people on Smokeless Island could break through with ease. So Si Ming no longer held back, his whole body was enveloped in golden light, and he instantly entered the state of Solar Prominence Eruption, his speed increased again, and he dodged the attacks of those Demon General in an instant.

At the same time, he closed his five fingers, without stirring up even the slightest bit of wind, only a vast aura that encompassed the heavens and the earth, covering all directions. Then, he threw a punch, and within a ten-zhang radius, ripples instantly appeared. The energy condensed into a towering mountain shadow that smashed towards him. The punch was domineering and fierce, with the momentum to break through the vast universe.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Two equally domineering and ferocious moves collided, and as the airflow exploded and surged, it created a stretched and distorted state, presenting countless overlapping phantoms. Si Ming's power was undoubtedly superior. The giant whale had been shattered, but the mountain still had remnants. Thus, the domineering fist force enveloped the Demon Marshal's body, causing him to catch his breath. It was as if all the Qi and Blood in his body were being pressed to his back, making it difficult for him to move.

Si Ming still had some strength left, and he threw a second punch, intending to smash his opponent in mid-air.

In a split second between life and death, the fine lines on the Demon Marshal's forehead all opened, revealing a series of blood-red eyes, shimmering with golden light, from which invisible divine needles shot out.

If Si Ming were on the ground at this moment, he could easily dodge with a single step of the Dunjia Heavenly Movement. However, since he was in the air, it was not easy for him to move around. He could only suffer the opponent's superpower. He suddenly felt a pain in his head and his spirit was turbulent, as if he had been pricked by countless fine needles. The strength in his hand involuntarily dissipated by five points, and he could no longer lock onto the target.

The Demon Marshal twisted his body, dodging Si Ming's punch. He didn't dare to retaliate, but instead leaped into the air to create distance between them.

Si Ming had cultivated the Divine Firmament Soul Body, making his soul far more resilient than that of ordinary people. He regained his composure in a few breaths, but he knew that he had missed the best murderous intent. Now that his opponent was on guard, he would have no chance of succeeding. After all, his opponent could fly, and even if he couldn't beat him, escaping would not be a problem.

"I'll have to wait until next time..."

With his mind racing, knowing that he was destined to fail this time anyway, Si Ming simply put his hands on his head, pretending to have a splitting headache, as if his soul was injured. He trembled all over and plummeted straight down from the sky, landing with a splash in the sea.

"He has been struck by my Hundred-Eyed Divine Light, his soul is injured, and his will is unable to concentrate. Now is the best time to kill him. All demons, quickly pursue and kill him! Do not let this powerful enemy escape."

The Demon General looked at each other for a while, not daring to disobey the order, and rushed down, but they did not dare to sink to the bottom of the sea. They only used their energy to attack the nearby seawater. They were insect-type Demon Beast and were not good at swimming. Who knew if they would be torn to pieces if they rushed down? After all, judging from their previous performance, this Human Race powerhouse was incredibly strong. A single punch could probably kill them half to death. They dared not take such a risk.

Under the sea, Si Ming used his Turtle Breath Technique to wait for a while. Seeing that the group of Demon Race was very cautious and none of them sank, he had no choice but to give up the idea of making one last grab before leaving and decided to return to the island first.

Chapter 670 Military School's Profound Armor

When Si Ming returned to the temporary base, he found the scene covered with signs of a fight, but all the bodies lying on the ground were the corpses of Demon Beast, and there were no humans among them.

This is not surprising. The contestants who remain on the island are all experts, including martial artists like Gu Xinglie who possess the combat power of a Spirit Transformation cultivator. As long as the Demon Marshal does not make a move, they can normally protect themselves without worry. The Demon Marshal is Divine Rank Demon Race has transformed into a human martial arts Dao Body, equivalent to a beginner to intermediate Nascent Spirit Transformation. Their numbers are also not too many. Usually, one Demon Marshal leads one Demon Beast army.

Following the traces of the fight, Si Ming quickly found the location where everyone was hiding. It was a dark cave with its entrance in a low-lying valley, covered by a clump of moss and vegetation. At a cursory glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Upon seeing Si Ming, many people breathed a sigh of relief, while others eagerly asked, "Brother Si Ming, did the decapitation strike succeed?"

Si Ming shook his head and said, "Sorry, the opponent can fly. The first sneak attack failed, and I don't see another chance. I can only come back now."

Although no one believed that Si Ming could kill the enemy commander in the midst of the Demon Beast army, they still couldn't help but show their regret upon hearing the result. However, everyone present chose to unconditionally believe in Si Ming, and no one said anything sarcastic like "I knew it wouldn't work," "I thought he was so amazing," or "You didn't use your full strength."

Si Ming added, "Everyone, get ready. We'll break through before dawn tomorrow."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"

"Speed is key to catching the enemy off guard. The Demon Race won't guess that I assassinated their commander during the day and launched a breakout tonight. If it weren't for everyone being injured and exhausted, I would have preferred to launch the breakout tonight. With our small numbers and the cover of darkness, our chances of success are high. Alright, everyone, hurry up and rest. Every minute and every second is precious now. When it's time to act, we won't stop and wait for you just because you haven't rested enough."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped asking questions and focused on circulating their internal energy to accelerate their recovery.

Si Ming wanted to discuss the next course of action with Yu Shuying. After searching through the crowd for a while, he found her treating the wounds of a poisoned patient.

Yu Shuying slowly pulled a three-inch-long gold needle from the Ghost Suspension acupoint on the man's arm. A thin, blood-red worm was stuck at the tip of the needle, wriggling even after it was pulled out, trying to break free and burrow back into the man's body. The man who had been parasitized looked extremely pale when he saw this. He was used to seeing life and death and killing, but he still felt a chill run down his spine.

"Once these Blood Marrow Worm burrow into the human body, they attach themselves to the bone marrow and continuously suck blood, while releasing narcotic toxins that are difficult for the parasitized person to detect. Be careful in the future. Don't use your fists or palms when dealing with those large worms; try to use weapons instead. Also, be wary of the blood they splatter," Yu Shuying warned.

The man nodded hurriedly. "I'll go find a suitable weapon right away, I won't be so careless again. May I ask, doctor, will there be any aftereffects after catching this insect?"

"What kind of aftereffects are these? Hurry up and heal your wounds and replenish your energy, so you don't hold everyone back."

Yu Shuying cursed irritably, threw down a pill, and went to find the next patient. She continued until she had examined everyone and confirmed that no one was infected with the Gu worms before she came to find Si Ming.

"So you can heal people too."

"Poison and medicine are inseparable; if you can use poison, you can certainly cure diseases. Besides, Gu poison is one of my strengths."

"I've rarely seen you rescue people before."

"It's all to replace my junior brother; I can't let him treat patients while suffering from anemia."

Si Ming looked around and found Murong Wu, who was circulating his internal energy to regulate his breathing. He could sense Murong Wu's weakness from his breathing and said, "It seems we'll have to take care of him during the breakout. Although I don't agree with his actions, we can't let good people go unpunished."

Yu Shuying said, "The task of taking care of people is left to that scoundrel. Your task is to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Demon Beast leader."

Si Ming said helplessly, "I tried it today and found that without the Profound Armor, I can't deal with this flying guy. If he wants to escape, I can't catch him at all. It would be fine if he were on land, I could try to catch him by summoning the Asura Dharma Form, but the opponent is at sea. The Dharma Image has weight and will sink to the bottom of the sea. Moreover, after today's assassination attempt, the opponent will definitely be on guard."

"So, as long as you have the Profound Armor, you're confident you can kill him, right?"

"Sixty percent, I guess. Spirit Transformation expert isn't so easy to kill, and the assisted flight of the Profound Armor is different from true flight..." Si Ming paused, then immediately realized the crucial point, "Could it be that you found that Military School Profound Armor?"

"Of course, with such obvious clues and so many people at our disposal, finding a Profound Armor is a piece of cake."

Yu Shuying led Si Ming deeper into the cave, eventually arriving at a three-meter-tall iron cabinet filled with various parts of the Profound Armor.

"Wow, it's huge!" Comparing it to the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor he had worn, Si Ming's first impression was that this Military School Profound Armor was exceptionally heavy and massive. "Is this really a special Profound Armor developed by the Military School? Are you sure it's not a mass-produced Profound Armor?"

In my memory, the Mohist School's mass-produced Profound Armor was made to be extremely large, resembling a miniature Transformer when worn. Its characteristics were clumsy movement but immense firepower. In comparison, special armors like the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor were just a thin layer of armor. Even the Black Tortoise Profound Armor, which emphasized defense, was at most equivalent to heavy armor. This difference can be seen from the height. When Si Ming wore the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor, his height, including the helmet, was less than two meters, while most mass-produced Profound Armor were over three meters tall.

Yu Shuying said, "Whether it's a mass-produced Profound Armor or not, you'll know once you put it on. Here's the instruction manual." As she spoke, she handed a thick booklet to Si Ming.

"They even have instruction manuals; the service in the Nation of Valor is truly comprehensive."

Yu Shuying snorted twice and said, "This is to avoid giving you any leverage. I asked those Nation of Valor martial artists, and even though they haven't worn the special Profound Armor, they can guess where the activation switch is. That's their advantage. If contestants from other countries get the Military School Profound Armor during the competition, they'll waste a lot of time just looking for the switch. In the heat of the competition, who has time to sit down and read the instructions properly? They'll probably have it snatched away by their opponents as soon as they put it on. But the Nation of Valor martial artists don't have that worry. They can use it as soon as they put it on. That's a disguised advantage for the home team."

Si Ming flipped through the instruction manual, looking at the words crammed into every nook and cranny of each page, and felt dizzy. He couldn't help but agree, "You're right, the instruction manual is a Nation of Valor conspiracy. This thing is a headache just to look at."

In his past life, after buying all sorts of machines, he always figured them out on his own without ever looking at the instruction manual. After all, all kinds of electrical appliances were made by Merchant School to be user-friendly; you could easily master the basic functions by simply pressing a few buttons.

However, as a high-tech product, Profound Armor obviously cannot be made into a type that even a fool can use. It is a product aimed at a small elite group, and the research and development team does not need to take the intelligence of the general public into account.

Under Yu Shuying's instructions, it took Si Ming quite a while to master the technique of wearing it. The Military School Profound Armor is divided into five parts. The core part is the same as the special Profound Armor made by the Mohist School. It is a thin layer of armor, and even the accessories of each part are more scarce. Many places are not protected. Only the gauntlet part is relatively large. In addition, there is a pair of leg armor that is half a person tall and as big as a stone lion, and a pair of shoulder armor of the same size.
