Moreover, once the restrictions were lifted, the high-speed flight could break the sound barrier.
The abilities granted by Vermilion Knight Armor were simply too powerful, making it difficult for Fu Yuan to control them properly. So, he opened Honkai's System Backpack and removed the full set of "Monet" Stigmata he had prepared.
As the five-star Monet Stigmata set was removed, Fu Yuan could clearly feel Shadow Knight: Moon Halo's condition instantly drop to less than half.
It seemed the boost provided by a full Stigmata set was genuinely outrageous.
Judging by this, the stronger the character template Fu Yuan used, the greater the enhancement provided by the Stigmata.
And the Monet set was Shadow Knight: Moon Halo's best-in-slot Stigmata, so the boost it provided was especially ridiculous.
After removing the Monet set, Fu Yuan could barely control Shadow Knight: Moon Halo at full power. Floating in the air, he paced through the sky as he began familiarizing himself with and controlling Shadow Knight: Moon Halo.
Every time Fu Yuan stepped through the void, he left an afterimage in Scáthach's beautiful eyes. Those afterimages only gradually faded from space after two seconds.
This showed just how terrifying Fu Yuan's speed had become after activating Shadow Knight: Moon Halo.
After all, this armor had no long-range attack methods, possessing only unparalleled mobility that no other armor could match.
Fu Yuan turned his head to look at the afterimages he had left in space and muttered, "If I moved at full speed, maybe I could split into copies."
But what would the copies do?
Dance New Treasure Island together? Or dance Love River?
Fu Yuan cast the strange thoughts that had surfaced in his mind aside and began focusing on controlling himself beneath Vermilion Knight Armor.
Before Scáthach's beautiful eyes, Fu Yuan floated in midair, his movements like afterimages and his fists like thunder. Fu Yuan could now easily trigger disturbances in lightning.
And that was not what surprised the Queen of the Land of Shadows most. What astonished her most was that Fu Yuan had caused all this without even going all out.
The afterimages were created merely by him taking a light step.
The thunderclaps were created merely by him slowly throwing a punch.
"If this is the standard for an 'ordinary person,' then doesn't that mean I'm not even as good as an ordinary person?" Scáthach murmured softly as she watched Fu Yuan.
However, with the restrictions lifted, Shadow Knight: Moon Halo consumed an enormous amount of True Qi. Fu Yuan could only maintain it for around five minutes.
Chapter 37: Ten Minutes of Eclipse Form IV
After keeping the restrictions lifted for five minutes, the True Qi within Fu Yuan's body would be completely depleted, forcing him to exit Eclipse Form.
If Fu Yuan equipped the five-star Monet Stigmata set, the duration of Shadow Knight: Moon Halo's restriction release should extend by another five minutes.
So, with the Monet set equipped, Fu Yuan could probably maintain the restriction release of Vermilion Knight Armor for ten minutes.
Ten minutes...
That was already enough. After all, who could withstand Fu Yuan's attacks in this state?
If Fu Yuan's enemy were an ordinary person, they would probably be flattened into a pancake in a single exchange.
'Shadow Knight: Moon Halo, restrictions activated.'
Feeling the remaining True Qi within himself, Fu Yuan willed it and stopped Shadow Knight: Moon Halo's restriction release.
As Fu Yuan actively ended Shadow Knight: Moon Halo's restriction release, the mechanical components equipped on his body changed from orange-red back to dark blue.
The orange light particles radiating from Fu Yuan and his armor also vanished. Still floating in the air, he slowly descended onto the ground of the courtyard.
Even without being in the "Eclipse State with restrictions lifted," Shadow Knight: Moon Halo still allowed Fu Yuan to fly. It was just that his flight speed would not break the sound barrier.
Wouldn't break the sound barrier... and that was merely just?
So now he thought flying was too slow?
"Hah..." Fu Yuan, his feet on solid ground, let out a breath. A satisfied expression appeared on his handsome face.
Clearly, he was extremely satisfied with the power brought by the "Shadow Knight: Moon Halo" character template.
Fu Yuan had just conducted a simple test of Shadow Knight: Moon Halo for nearly ten minutes, and he now roughly understood some of its details.
While in Shadow Knight: Moon Halo, if Fu Yuan cultivated Great Void Sword Qi, it would only cause the True Qi in his body to surge rather than advance his Great Void Sword Qi cultivation.
Although this would not increase his cultivation speed, it could still provide assistance during battle.
That was quite good as well.
Because he had consumed much of the True Qi in his body, Fu Yuan intended to stop testing Shadow Knight: Moon Halo. As he did, the bodysuit and mechanical armor components on him all transformed into light particles and dispersed.
Fu Yuan's clothing then returned to how it had originally been.
As Scáthach watched Fu Yuan revert, she noticed that his face was somewhat pale, though his spirits remained high.
Fu Yuan's pale complexion was merely due to his excessive consumption of True Qi just now. As long as he rested for two or three hours, or cultivated Great Void Sword Qi for half an hour, his True Qi would recover.
"What did you think of the power I just displayed?" Fu Yuan asked the stunning queen sitting on the courtyard platform.
"I can only describe it with four words." Scáthach looked at the handsome man before her. Parting her cherry lips, she slowly said, "Beyond description."
"Huh? What do you mean, beyond description?" Fu Yuan asked with a laugh.
"It means indescribably powerful. With your speed just now, combined with that Inch Force: Heaven Splitter from before, even a god would probably be blasted to death by a single punch." Scáthach said seriously.
Did that mean Fu Yuan now possessed the power to slay gods?
Was that not a little too exaggerated?
However, if someone else had said it, it would be worth doubting.
But the one who had said it was Queen Scáthach of the Land of Shadows. She was a being who had slain countless undead, humans, and gods.
Therefore, since someone who had slain gods said Fu Yuan possessed the power to kill gods, it could not be wrong.
"So, Fu Yuan, if you had a suitable weapon, your combat strength should rise another level. Something like a spear, for example. And I happen to be skilled with spears, so I can teach you for free," Scáthach said to Fu Yuan.
Yes, Scáthach now wanted to teach Fu Yuan the God-Slaying Spear Technique she possessed. She wanted to know just how terrifying this man would become after mastering her god-slaying spear techniques.
Fu Yuan had every reason to feel proud.
After all, the Queen of the Land of Shadows did not teach people so casually.
If others wanted to become her disciples, they had to enter the netherworld kingdom that accepted the dead and departed souls—the Land of Shadows—and then pass her hellish trials before they would qualify to become her disciples and receive her teachings.
Now, Scáthach was taking the initiative to invite Fu Yuan to learn spear techniques from her. If a certain dog knew about it, he would surely be very jealous. After all, he had endured countless hardships to pass Scáthach's trials before receiving her instruction.
