A Divine Craftsman Who Couldn't Forge

"Did it work?"

Tian Ling'er asked curiously.

As the Life Core, she had not released much power to sense everything in the Human Realm, worried that the lingering remnants of her consciousness would be exposed and bring trouble upon herself.

However, Tian Ling'er could still perceive everything within the Sea God Pavilion's range.

From the Sea God Pavilion meetings held throughout the generations, Tian Ling'er had roughly learned the basics of Battle Armor in the human world.

Ling Luo's Battle Armor had previously been a Two-word Battle Armor by the standards of the Soul Master World.

She also knew that what he was doing was embarking on an entirely new path of Battle Armor evolution, one that had never existed in the Soul Master World before.

"Mm." Ling Luo nodded, the satisfaction in his eyes still lingering.

No matter how thorough the theoretical basis had been, before actually accomplishing it, Ling Luo honestly had not possessed much confidence.

But things had progressed very smoothly, and his idea had been proven correct.

"Although Holy Judgment has not entered the Three-Word Battle Armor level, this breastplate alone has already reached the material standard of a Three-Word Battle Armor."

After a brief pause, Ling Luo added:

"Without relying on forging."

"As long as I follow the standards of a Three-Word Battle Armor for the subsequent design and inscribe the core formation, Holy Judgment will naturally and completely enter the Three-Word Battle Armor level."

"Even Four-word Battle Armor can be made this way in the future."

His voice gradually became fervent.

"Moreover, with this method, if I become a god in the future, Holy Judgment can also undergo a god-level transformation and become true Divine Armor!"

Listening to Ling Luo's words, Tian Ling'er finally realized just what kind of step he had taken.

Humanity's research into Battle Armor had lasted for over a thousand years and had become increasingly refined, yet it had always remained bound within the realm of mortals.

But Ling Luo had found a way to completely transform Battle Armor from mortal to divine!

Though the requirements of this method were indeed excessively harsh.

Across the entire continent, Ling Luo was likely the only one capable of doing it. It could not be replicated by everyone like the current Battle Armor system of the Soul Master World.

Even so, its significance and the shock it brought could not be denied.

"Then will you be able to become a Three-word Battle Armor Master soon?" Tian Ling'er asked curiously.

"No." Ling Luo shook his head.

"Although I can indeed use this method to raise Holy Judgment's materials to the Three-Word Battle Armor standard and design a suitable Three-Word Battle Armor upgrade plan, my own limitations still exist."

"Ordinary Three-word Battle Armor Masters are Titled Douluo. Although my situation is somewhat special, I will probably still need to reach Soul Saint before I can become a true Three-word Battle Armor Master."

Ling Luo's voice was filled with regret.

If ordinary people heard that, they would surely turn green with envy.

After all, becoming a Three-word Battle Armor Master was already the ultimate goal of ninety-nine percent of Soul Masters.

Ling Luo would likely achieve it before turning fifteen.

How could those Soul Masters who had wandered aimlessly for a lifetime without ever touching the threshold of Three-Word Battle Armor possibly endure that?

"Although I can't completely let Holy Judgment break through to the Three-Word Battle Armor level yet, raising its overall materials to the Three-Word Battle Armor level beforehand won't be a problem."

"Ling'er, I'll need to trouble you again in a moment."

"No problem," Tian Ling'er readily agreed.

Her freedom was closely tied to Ling Luo's strength.

The more proactive Ling Luo was about becoming stronger, the more Tian Ling'er naturally wanted to see it.

The sky gradually darkened.

Dusk tore down the day, baring its fangs and claws across the horizon.

Na'er sat on the sofa in the first-floor hall with her little face propped up, her slender legs tucked beneath her as she lazily ate spirit fruit and read the latest chapter of a novel.

Yun Ming sat at the table, handling the documents that had been reported to him.

Ya Li stood behind him, gently pressing his shoulders with her snow-white hands.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Footsteps descended from above.

Ling Luo walked down from the secret room in the loft upstairs.

Pulling his gaze away from the documents on the table, Yun Ming looked up at Ling Luo.

How powerful was his cultivation?

With just one glance, Yun Ming had already noticed that Ling Luo's strength seemed to have improved again compared to before he entered the secret room.

"Brother-in-law, I succeeded."

Ling Luo's next words answered Yun Ming's doubts.

His pupils rapidly contracted.

The strongest person in the Soul Master World revealed an astonishment that was rarely seen on his face.

"Xiao Luo, are you saying that your method worked?!"

Ling Luo had told Yun Ming about his idea before this.

Yun Ming had also believed it was feasible, but he had not held much hope.

After all, the method sounded simple, but as the owner of Four-word Battle Armor, Yun Ming understood better than anyone how difficult it would be to put into practice.

Na'er, who had already put down her novel, tilted her little head. Her purple eyes were filled with innocent confusion.

"Mm!"

Ling Luo nodded.

He activated his Soul Power, and Holy Judgment slowly emerged around his body.

The three people present were not seeing Ling Luo's Two-word Battle Armor, unknown to outsiders, for the first time.

However, after being tempered by destruction and the Power of Life, Holy Judgment's appearance had changed considerably from before.

The two experts, Ya Li and Yun Ming, had already sensed that Holy Judgment's material strength had astonishingly reached the level of Three-Word Battle Armor!

Compared to a true Three-Word Battle Armor, it was only lacking further design and inscription.

But that was already enough to prove that Ling Luo had truly succeeded!

If this news got out, it would definitely cause an enormous uproar in the Soul Master World.

After all, this had completely shattered the conventional Battle Armor manufacturing system of the Soul Master World!

There were quite a few Mecha Designers and Mecha Manufacturers capable of creating Four-word Battle Armor.

But there was only one Divine Craftsman whose forging skills could meet the required standard.

That was why Four-word Battle Armor was so rare.

Yet Ling Luo had directly bypassed the forging stage and replaced it with another method.

Without a doubt, this was a revolution against traditional Battle Armor!

"Xiao Luo, can you tell us what you gained this time?"

Ling Luo nodded.

"I have mastered a method that can raise Battle Armor materials to the next required level without forging."

"And I originally thought that only I could use this method, but it seems that may not be the case."

"Through this method, I can probably upgrade other people's Battle Armor as well."

Ling Luo had previously believed that this method relied on his own power. If it were used on another person's Battle Armor, it might produce a reaction similar to rejection.

But during Holy Judgment's upgrade, he discovered that this was not the case.

His Life Power was too pure. He could completely ensure that no trace of his own influence remained while upgrading Battle Armor.

In other words, he could use this method to upgrade the materials of other people's Battle Armor as well.

"With my current ability, I can probably raise them to the Three-Word Battle Armor level."

"If I want to raise them to Four-word Battle Armor, I will probably need some more time."

"It's just a pity that this method's requirements are too harsh. In the end, only I can do it."

Ling Luo shook his head with slight regret.

Yun Ming and Ya Li exchanged a glance, but rather than disappointment, there was only shock in their eyes.

What did this mean?

As long as Ling Luo's cultivation continued to rise, even without learning forging, he would be fully capable of doing what only a Divine Craftsman could do!

Other than the fact that he could not forge at all, how was he any different from another Divine Craftsman?

There was only one Divine Craftsman on the entire continent!

The continent's sole Divine Craftsman, Zhen Hua, stated:

Six six six—this wasn't even salty anymore!
