"Brother Lu Li, where are you going?"

Wu Changkong was waiting to leave with Lu Li, and seeing the other man preparing to depart, he asked with a look of confusion.

"I need to make a trip to Tiandou City. I left my three-word Battle Armor with Master Zhen Hua for some modifications, and it's time to go pick it up. If nothing goes wrong, I'll be back by tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Li chuckled and said calmly.

"Three-word Battle Armor... modifications?"

"Brother Lu Li, don't tell me—"

Wu Changkong's expression tightened. Just hearing those few words, he realized the gravity of the situation, and his voice trembled slightly at that moment.

Since when did Zhen Hua handle three-word Battle Armor modifications?

The man was truly known for producing the Sky-Forged products—the four-word Battle Armor—of which there were barely a dozen sets in the entire continent!

In other words, the Battle Armor of the man before him had already...

"It is exactly as you think."

"Brother Changkong, you will have this day too; I have simply reached it a little earlier than you."

Lu Li naturally saw through Wu Changkong's thoughts, and looking at the other man's shocked expression, he smiled and said.

Four-word Battle Armor—the other man would have it.

It was only a matter of time, much like how in the original story, he seemed to reach level 98 later than Tang Wulin...

That was indeed quite late, but lateness had its benefits. For instance, by the time the man before him became a Title Douluo, he himself would likely be not far from the god-level, and achieving the rank of Divine Craftsman would naturally follow.

And when that time came, he would give this old friend a top-tier set of four-word Battle Armor.

After saying this, he quickly strode away, leaving Wu Changkong standing there alone, stunned.

"It really is like that..."

His tone was anything but calm.

It was one thing for Lu Li to become a Title Douluo at such a young age, but now he had actually become the youngest four-word Battle Armor Master in the world?

What kind of concept was that?

One had to know that with a four-word Battle Armor, even a master at the Title Douluo level could carry the team, and their own combat power would be directly comparable to a quasi-god.

And just how terrifying would Lu Li be, whose martial soul potential was already peerless, causing all the geniuses of the world to bow their heads?

Such a genius was a member of the Spirit Pagoda; he would be the greatest challenge for Shrek in the future!

"To have been an opponent of Lu Li is the honor of my life, but..."

"This is also the lifelong nightmare of all geniuses."

Wu Changkong sighed and muttered to himself.

"It's been a while since I used a mecha. Since I have a task to become a Mecha Master, I might as well get started."

Lu Li flew into the air, golden-red light wings flickering behind him, and finally stopped in the suburbs of Eastsea City.

As his thoughts stirred, the black-grade mecha from his Nian Wo storage ring suddenly appeared in the sky, landing with a boom beside Lu Li.

"Da Hei, deploy."

Lu Li chuckled, patted the mecha's metal body, and the eight-meter-tall mecha instantly opened its cockpit, which he then climbed into.

The cockpit was extremely spacious, easily capable of fitting two people; one could even comfortably practice yoga inside.

"Activate low-altitude navigation, destination..."

"Tiandou City."

He smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

The moment his voice fell, a clear navigation route instantly appeared before his eyes, and the intelligent mecha began to move under his control.

[Congratulations to the host for operating your own black-grade mecha. You have actually become a high-level Mecha Master, my goodness!]

[Long-term task: I Must Become a Mecha Master]

[Task completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Full Mecha Body + Mecha Core upgrade. Would you like to apply it to this mecha?]

[Full Mecha Body Upgrade: Upgrades all metal within the mecha to the strongest metal. For example, if this mecha is made of a small amount of Soul-Forged metal and a large amount of Spirit-Forged metal, all will be replaced with Soul-Forged.]

[Mecha Core Upgrade: All performance stats increased.]

"Hmm?"

"Do not use!"

Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes lit up. So, it was possible to save it for later?

It was well known that the biggest problems with mechas were insufficient power and high material consumption, which prevented most Mecha Masters from ever being able to maintain a god-level mecha in their lifetime.

But these two problems were interrelated; it was precisely because not enough high-quality materials were consumed that the power was insufficient.

So, that brought him back to the point.

A mecha body of top-tier Heaven Forging, combined with the design of a top-tier Level 9 mecha designer, plus a perfect mecha core...

Just how perfect would it be!?

"It seems that in the time to come."

"I will still need to learn some secondary professions related to mecha design. It's fortunate that I obtained a top-tier buff reward from the Blacksmith tasks."

Lu Li chuckled softly, his gaze fixed on his data panel, which displayed...

Supernatural Comprehension!

As for who would be the best instructor, right beside Uncle Zhen, wasn't there already the most suitable candidate?

"This trip to Tiandou City."

"It really makes me look forward to it..."

On the other side, inside Donghai Academy.

After school, except for Gu Yue who had left alone, the other five members of Zero Class were on their way back to the dormitory. Everyone was still immersed in the previous atmosphere, their faces filled with shock.

They were only nine years old, yet they had already come into contact with mechas and Battle Armor, and their homeroom teacher was even a Title Douluo. If this were before, it would have been unthinkable.

And what left the deepest impression...

Was still those four black and five red soul rings belonging to Lu Li!

"Teacher Lu Li is actually a Title Douluo. Tang Wulin, even now, I still find it hard to believe."

Xie Xie's face was filled with emotion as he subconsciously looked at Tang Wulin beside him, as he considered himself to have the closest relationship with him.

However, Tang Wulin didn't even pay him any mind. He was just silently observing the surroundings along the road, his face no longer wearing the calm and kind smile from before, but instead looking grave.

"Tang Wulin?"

Xie Xie stepped forward and poked him, causing the latter to snap out of it, looking completely distracted.

"Ah, what is it?"

Tang Wulin hurriedly put on a calm expression and said with a smile.

"You're asking me what's wrong? It's clearly you. Anyone can tell, alright? Are you okay?"

"I think your state is very off!"

Xie Xie furrowed his brows and spoke anxiously, his tone filled with concern for his friend.

"Yeah."

Zhang Yangzi and the others nodded in agreement. Anyone could see how distracted he had been just now, even Wei Xiaofeng was no exception.

"I'm fine."

"I was just feeling a little sleepy just now, it's nothing."

Tang Wulin shook his head with a smile and said earnestly.

"Is it really just that?"

Xie Xie shook his head, refusing to believe it, and couldn't help but ask.

"Mm!"

"I'm going back to sleep..."

Tang Wulin blinked and said with a smile, yet in his eyes, which were as beautiful as a girl's, a flash of bewilderment and deep fear flickered.

Ever since Teacher Lu Li released his martial soul today, he had felt as if something inside his body had been triggered. Just a moment ago, he even had a feeling...

A feeling that something was about to come out.

He didn't understand...

Why was it like this?

Big Brother Lu Li, is it still in time for me to go find you?

Tang Wulin: It's coming out... it's really about to come out! (Fearful face)
