" Battle Armor?"
Lin Xingyu said with some surprise.
"Yes, Battle Armor!"
That afternoon after school, Tang Wulin stopped the group and made his request.
Tang Wulin composed himself and spoke about what he had been thinking about for a long time.
"At most six months, the Teacher Wu will definitely take us to participate in the Shrek Academy entrance exam."
"If we can forge a few pieces of Battle Armor in the next six months, we'll be fine when the exam comes."
"Although none of our secondary professions are very high, with your help, Captain, making a few pieces of One-Word Battle Armor shouldn't be a problem."
"I am Rank 4 Forging Master, Gu Yue is Rank 4 Mecha Designer, Xie Xie is a level three Mecha Manufacturer, and Xu Xiaoyan is a level three Mecha Repair."
"I can provide the metal, Gu Yue can provide the blueprints. There are still some flaws that need your help, Captain."
Lin Xingyu thought about it and decided it was fine. If they all applied to the Shrek Academy, their ridiculous rules would probably be a combination of group and individual exams. Making a few Battle Armor parts wouldn't take him too much effort, so he could just teach them a few things.
He glanced at Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan, whose eyes were shining as they stared at him. These two were now his little fans. When he was out in public, it was his little brothers who had to brag about him; that would make him look good.
"Okay, no problem, I can help you."
"Yay! Long live the captain!" Xu Xiaoyan cheered.
"Captain! I have no way to repay your kindness, so I can only offer myself in gratitude," Xie Xie shouted.
Lin Xingyu rolled his eyes. "Go away, just stay away."
If you really intend to repay me with your body, what kind of expression should I make?
Over the past two years, Lin Xingyu has witnessed Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan's hard work. With such a formidable figure as Lin Xingyu around, he can offer insightful opinions on any of their secondary professions.
So they all put a lot of effort into their side jobs.
Gu Yue, who has always been rather laid-back about her side jobs, has also raised her level as Mecha Design to level four.
If Xu Xiaoyan can be described as very hardworking, then Xie Xie can be described as risking his life.
In just over two years Xie Xie raised his secondary profession from zero to level three. When he couldn't make any breakthroughs in other areas, he really worked his hardest, trying his best to improve himself.
With Lin Xingyu's expertise in his secondary profession, he could complete a Battle Armor on his own without needing anyone else. His participation this time was more about helping them.
That's why Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie were so happy.
After calming down, Xie Xie said, "This time we plan to make some ordinary One-Word Battle Armor parts first. After all, according to Teacher Wu, One-Word Battle Armor is a stage for building a foundation and practicing. When it comes to One-Word Battle Armor, it will be completely remade."
"In addition, the secondary profession levels of several of us are not high enough, so the Battle Armor we make is not perfect. Therefore, the main purpose of making a few Battle Armor parts is to improve our skills."
It seems that Tang Wulin and Xie Xie have already discussed this with each other.
The initial standard One-Word Battle Armor was basically used by everyone to practice their skills, and it was virtually impossible to upgrade it to Two-Word Battle Armor.
If preparations are to be made for the future, everyone will rebuild the One-Word Battle Armor.
The matter was settled. After thinking for a moment, Lin Xingyu said, "Since we've already decided to do it, even if it's mainly to improve our skills, we can't be careless. Wulin, you should be able to keep up with the metal, right?"
"No problem! Captain, this bit of metal is nothing to me," Tang Wulin replied confidently.
Because he won the prize money from the Skysea Alliance Competition, he obtained the four kinds of Thousand-Year Spiritual Item even more easily.
As for the spiritual items needed to break the third seal, Tang Wulin said that he would wait until he became Fifth-Grade Forging Master before thinking about it. Otherwise, as Rank 4 Forging Master, it would take him many years to accumulate enough.
By the time he had saved enough, he would probably be dead by now, so Tang Wulin simply stopped worrying about it and let it go.
" Gu Yue, you'll be in charge of the design. You don't need to design the whole set; just design a part first. Start with the right forearm armor."
Gu Yue thought for a moment and said, "No problem, I can finish designing the first few Battle Armor parts for everyone in half a month at most. The Right Hand Armor does indeed provide the greatest boost to everyone's combat power."
"In that case, I'll be in charge of manufacturing. Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, you two will assist me." Lin Xingyu finished assigning the tasks.
"Yes!"
"No problem!"
This is equivalent to Lin Xingyu personally teaching his two apprentices once.
Judging from Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan's performance, after completing several Battle Armor parts with Lin Xingyu this time, there is a high chance that they will both upgrade their secondary professions to level four.
"In that case, tell Wulin what kind of metal you need."
Looking at the final selection of metals, they are all relatively common metals, it seems that they really treated this as a practice project.
They had only asked Lin Xingyu about his needs once and then stopped mentioning them. They all knew that Lin Xingyu was at least Rank 5 Mecha Designer, and the rest, although they didn't know their exact levels, were at least Level 4.
"Then I'll be going now."
Seeing that everything was alright, Gu Yue spoke up.
"That's enough for now. Just get ready for your work as soon as possible."
After saying goodbye to each other, the group returned to their respective dormitories.
After returning to his dormitory, Lin Xingyu carefully examined the suits of armor around him, which stood like guards protecting his main seat.
Lin Xingyu sat on the bed, and his First Soul Ring lit up: Heaven and Earth Furnace!
Yes, his First Soul Skill has changed a lot now.
After Aya's Soul Ring reached the ten-thousand-year level, all three of them underwent a qualitative change, as they carried a portion of Lin Xingyu's inherent high-level status.
It's not obvious when the age is low, but as the age increases, the extraneous aspects become apparent.
The First Soul Skill used to only allow you to refine metals to enhance your special abilities. Now, you only need to refine metals to gain traits, and you can improve those traits through training later, without refining metals anymore.
This greatly expands the range of metals that Lin Xingyu can choose from. After all, some metals are not very common, and even if he refines all the Heavenly Forged Metal, he will not gain much power.
After improving his traits through cultivation, he could choose top-tier rare metals and, at worst, gradually enhance them himself after acquiring them.
Moreover, heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the craftsman, yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper.
Thus, Lin Xingyu's Soul Skill became the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
I'll owe you half a chapter for now. I'm not feeling well today after staying up late last night, so I'm going to bed early.
