Leave in Three Days, Forge a One-Word Battle Armor Named Light

In his sleep, Ye Ling only felt something poking his face.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Cai'er's little face close to his own. She was leaning over him, occasionally poking his face with her small finger as if she were pondering something.

"What is it, Cai'er?" Ye Ling did not have any morning grumpiness; he merely looked at Cai'er in confusion.

Seeing that Ye Ling had awakened startled Cai'er. Then, remembering her current position, her little face flushed red. She immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Long came looking for you just now. He asked me to have you go see him after you woke up."

"Alright." Ye Ling got up and sensed the time. He had slept for roughly twelve hours, and all his fatigue had vanished.

It was about time to head out.

The moment he stepped outside, Long Xingyu was standing there. When he saw Ye Ling emerge, he walked over to greet him.

He said, "It is about time. Haochen should awaken his Inner Spiritual Power soon as well. In three days, I plan to have him go to the Haoyue Branch Temple for testing. Will you come along?"

"Three days from now? No problem. I'll take Cai'er and Haochen with me then." Ye Ling nodded.

Long Xingyu nodded and left. The message had been delivered, so it was time for everyone to do what they needed to do.

"Since I've rested enough, I can start preparing to forge my Battle Armor. Though it will be rather troublesome, three days will be enough for me to complete the Battle Armor belonging to the Six-Winged Angel."

"Although the Time Dragon Martial Soul and the Golden Dragon King bloodline cannot share one, that can be handled later. Given my current special circumstances, perhaps there is hope that each Martial Soul and bloodline can have its own Battle Armor."

Ye Ling muttered to himself.

Then, he returned to the place where he forged, intending to formally begin forging his Battle Armor.

A Battle Armor generally had eleven components: a Headband, Chest Armor, left shoulder armor plus upper-arm armor, right shoulder armor plus upper-arm armor, left gauntlet plus forearm armor, right gauntlet plus forearm armor, a waist guard plus battle skirt, Left Thigh Armor, Right Thigh Armor, left calf armor plus battle boot, and right calf armor plus battle boot.

That was the equipment of a One-Word Battle Armor. At the Two-Word Battle Armor stage, a left wing and right wing would be added, which happened to suit Ye Ling perfectly, since he could grow wings through the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Of course, that was a matter for later.

By Ye Ling's estimate, he would not consider touching Two-Word Battle Armor until he reached at least the mid-to-late Fifth Rank. For now, it was better to forget about it.

With that in mind, Ye Ling looked toward the Thousand Refined Jade Silver on his Forging Platform. He closed his eyes and communicated with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, searching for the best form for his Battle Armor.

There was no need for any so-called Mecha Designer. His Martial Soul would tell him everything.

Very soon, Ye Ling opened his eyes. Without hesitation, he swung the Spirit Forged Deep Silver Hammer in his hand. The Aura of Light behind him flowed into the hammer, and with a loud shout, his entire aura erupted as he brought the hammer down upon the Jade Silver.

The shaping began.

The first thing Ye Ling made was the Chest Armor, the largest and most troublesome component of the Battle Armor.

Ye Ling used three whole pieces of Thousand Refined Jade Silver, fusing and shaping them. It took nearly three hours before it was perfectly forged.

"The Chest Armor is complete. Everything afterward will be much easier." Ye Ling looked at the completed Chest Armor before him. Without saying much else, he began the next stage of forging.

The Chest Armor was the most complicated component. Once it was done, the pace of everything afterward should speed up.

Finishing one piece per hour should not be a problem.

Even the more complicated pieces could not compare to the Chest Armor. At most, they would take two hours.

Very quickly, Ye Ling began the next stage of forging.

"Brother Ye Ling, what are you making this time?" Cai'er watched everything with slight confusion. She knew that Ye Ling was forging something, but she could not understand what exactly he was making. She could only look toward Long Haochen, waiting for him to explain.

At that moment, Long Haochen was still watching Ye Ling forge with starry eyes, gazing at him with immense admiration and excitement. He wished he could memorize every detail of Ye Ling's forging movements in his mind and reproduce them perfectly in the future.

"Brother Ye is forging armor for himself, and he's using metal of this grade, with so much material too... Hiss, if this continues, could the grade of this armor break through the Spirit Demon Level and reach the Brilliant Grade?" Long Haochen muttered.

He did not answer Cai'er. He had not even heard her question. His eyes held only Ye Ling's forging figure. Ye Ling inspired in him immense reverence and conviction, and he desperately wished he could replace Ye Ling as the one forging there.

What a crazed overachiever.

"Has Brother Ye Ling's forging skill improved again?" Cai'er took Long Haochen's words to heart. At that moment, she only felt that Ye Ling was powerful—truly powerful. As expected of her Brother Ye Ling, he was just that amazing!

And not only was he strong, he was handsome too!

Handsome from head to toe.

At this point, Cai'er gradually fell silent. She merely watched Ye Ling forge in silence. Within it, Cai'er could see the beauty of countless forms of strength.

Whenever she did not feel like watching anymore, she would take out the Sword of Death to practice. Sometimes, she would also use the Reincarnation Spiritual Furnace to enter the Reincarnation Trial and improve herself.

When Long Haochen saw Cai'er practicing, he would sometimes step forward to challenge her. But how could his current strength compare with Cai'er's?

After challenging her several times, he was instantly defeated in a single exchange every time, without any suspense.

Though he possessed talent, his effective improvement had still been far too limited.

Very soon, a day passed.

Ye Ling had forged all of the Battle Armor components.

They were extraordinarily exquisite and flawless. Even in the world of Douluo 3, they would have been the most perfect One-Word Battle Armor. Want to find fault with them? There was simply nothing to criticize.

"Almost done. I can begin the next step now. I'll directly use spiritual power to nurture them and make them fit me. That will let me skip engraving inscriptions and firmly bind them to my body." Ye Ling thought.

Then, an incomparably brilliant light flashed from the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Its aura erupted, and the eleven components were absorbed by Ye Ling at once, entering his Martial Soul and giving off layer upon layer of dazzling, unusual light.

Looking inward, he saw the armor attached to the Six-Winged Angel. As it was being nurtured, he could sense layers of special inscriptions emerging from it. At that moment, Ye Ling could also feel that his One-Word Battle Armor had completely bound itself to him.

And with a single thought, it could be equipped onto his body.

"The Battle Armor I've been longing for is finally complete."

"It is time to give it a name. A One-Word Battle Armor has only one word in its name, so I'll name it after its attribute."

"This One-Word Battle Armor shall be named Light!"
