But after all, he was a Body Douluo from ten thousand years in the future. With the Body Sect's secret techniques and four hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings,

he was no ordinary Super Douluo's match.

"Etiquette must not be neglected. I shall address you as Your Highness."

The system had been quite considerate, already implanting Xu Tianming's identity into Mu Ye's mind.

"Th... that works too."

After hesitating slightly, Xu Tianming nodded.

After all, he was a legitimate direct descendant of the Sun Moon Empire's imperial family, the son of Dongyang City's lord.

There was nothing wrong with calling him Your Highness.

"Elder Mu, when it comes to understanding mechas, even ten thousand years from now, few could compare to you."

As if recalling something, Xu Tianming raised his brows slightly and asked somewhat cautiously,

"Especially since you are a God-rank Mecha Master... may I ask whether your mecha came to this era with you?"

At those words, a trace of despondency finally appeared on Mu Ye's face.

"Xiao Hong... my Xiao Hong did not come to this era with me."

Xiao Hong was the name of Mu Ye's mecha, and the work of his entire life.

Now that Xiao Hong had not accompanied him to this era, his sense of loss was easy to imagine.

"So that was what the Title Douluo Summoning Card meant when it said it only summoned the Title Douluo..."

With a bitter smile, Xu Tianming shook his head and could only step forward to grasp Mu Ye's hands, which were noticeably larger than an ordinary person's.

"Rest assured, Elder Mu. One day, I will summon your mecha, Xiao Hong, to this era as well."

"Then I shall thank Your Highness in advance!"

Seeing how sincere Xu Tianming was, Mu Ye felt a flicker of gratitude in his heart.

"However, even if Xiao Hong did not come to this era with me, my strength as a Four-Word Battle Armor Master is still no weaker than any Limit Douluo of this era!"

"You mean your Four-Word Battle Armor came to this era with you too?"

A look of delight immediately flashed across Xu Tianming's face.

Battle Armor and mechas were both technologies from ten thousand years in the future.

Though both had gradually developed as two branches originating from Humanoid Soul Tools,

mechas were external equipment worn on the body, whereas Battle Armor was more akin to Spirit Bones.

In fact, Four-Word Battle Armor could indeed fuse with Spirit Bones and remain hidden beneath a Spirit Master's skin.

"For a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, their Four-Word Battle Armor has already completely fused with their body."

Mu Ye scratched his head as he spoke.

"I imagine that is why I was able to bring my Battle Armor to this era?"

"Elder Mu, since you are a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, can you create Battle Armor?"

Xu Tianming looked at Mu Ye with anticipation.

Given the Sun Moon Empire's lead in Soul Tools over the former Three Douluo Kingdoms, if they could develop Battle Armor,

then crushing Shrek and unifying the continent would be almost effortless.

"Although I am a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, creating a set of Battle Armor is no easy task."

Mu Ye shook his head, his expression turning serious.

"Every set of Battle Armor is custom-made according to a Spirit Master's traits. It requires the joint involvement of a Designer, a Blacksmith, a Manufacturer, and the Spirit Master themself."

"The most important among them is the Blacksmith. Only a Blacksmith can purify and forge metal to the quality suitable for making Battle Armor."

Xu Tianming pursed his lips. He had still been thinking of things too simply.

Ten thousand years of accumulated technology could not be surpassed merely by the appearance of one or two people.

Take the current Sun Moon Empire, for example. Soul Tool manufacturing was essentially still limited to directly engraving Core Arrays onto rare metals.

There was simply no foundation for Blacksmiths to exist in the Sun Moon Empire.

"Let us not talk about Battle Armor or mechas for now."

Xu Tianming rubbed his brow.

"Elder Mu, my Martial Soul is also a Body Martial Soul."

He pointed to his eyes. The phenomena of Solar Corona and Crescent Moon flickered faintly in the depths of his pupils.

"My Martial Soul is the Sun Moon Twin Pupils. It possesses both the attributes and forms of the sun and moon, and I also have Innate Full Soul Power."

The moment those words came out, Mu Ye's eyes widened like copper bells.

Body Martial Souls were themselves a type of mutated Martial Soul, usually some organ on a Spirit Master's body.

Innate Soul Power generally had a direct relationship with the quality of one's Martial Soul, so Spirit Masters with Body Martial Souls typically did not possess high Innate Soul Power.

Even ten thousand years in the future, Mu Ye had never heard of a Spirit Master with a Body Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power.

Even he himself had possessed only rank five Innate Soul Power when he awakened his Martial Soul.

"Your Highness truly is a peerless genius. I have never heard of a Body Martial Soul being born with attributes, nor have I ever heard of a Body Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power."

Mu Ye's horizons surpassed those of people in this era by ten thousand years, yet Xu Tianming's talent still astonished him.

"You flatter me, Elder Mu."

Xu Tianming waved his hand and said seriously,

"When it comes to guiding Spirit Masters with Body Martial Souls, no one in this world can surpass Elder Mu."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Elder Mu to teach me the secret techniques of Body Martial Souls!"

It had to be said that the Title Douluo Summoning Card's summoning of Mu Ye, the Sect Master of the Body Sect from ten thousand years in the future, was truly an immense stroke of fortune.

Although Mu Ye's Soul Power Level was only ninety-four, and his God-rank mecha Xiao Hong had not come to this era with him,

he could guide Xu Tianming, who also possessed a Body Martial Soul, in cultivation, just as he had nurtured Tang Wulin in the era of Legend of the Dragon King.

"Rest assured, Your Highness. I will certainly train you well."

For some reason, seeing the smile on Mu Ye's face, Xu Tianming inexplicably felt a chill.

"In that case, Elder Mu, please accompany me as my teacher to meet my parents."

Xu Tianming was not an orphan. If he wanted to cultivate in peace from now on, he had to introduce Mu Ye to his parents.

After changing into clean clothes, Xu Tianming led Mu Ye toward the rear hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The servants of the City Lord's Mansion had long prepared that evening's banquet, and the table was filled with delicacies.

Xu Xiang sat in the seat of honor, chatting and laughing with Kong Yue.

"Tianming is here..."

Upon seeing Xu Tianming, Kong Yue called out instinctively, but she soon noticed the middle-aged man following behind him.

"Tianming, who is this?"

Xu Xiang frowned and asked in confusion.

This was supposed to be a family banquet, yet Xu Tianming had brought a stranger into the rear hall of the City Lord's Mansion, which displeased him somewhat.

"All of you, leave."

Xu Tianming did not answer his father's question. Instead, he swept his gaze around the rear hall and spoke to the servants attending them.

They did not leave immediately, instead turning their gazes toward Xu Xiang.

After all, Xu Xiang was the true master of the City Lord's Mansion.

"All of you, leave."

Although he did not know what his son intended to do, Xu Xiang still waved his hand.

In just a moment, only Xu Tianming's family of three and Mu Ye remained in the entire rear hall.

"Tianming, everyone has left. You should introduce this person to me now, shouldn't you?"
