Four-Character Dou Armor Golden Dragon Saint King, Eight Times Improvement? [Seeking Follow-up]

"Do you think those medicinal herbs are just Chinese cabbage?"

Lu Li shook his head with a smile. He had no idea when he would get the next age enhancement, but for her, twenty thousand years...

It was definitely a sure thing.

"Who knows? I'm not that far off from twenty thousand years now. I'm so, so looking forward to it..."

The figure of Guang Linglong shimmered with radiance on Lu Li's shoulder, her giggling voice drifting over.

That was the possibility of taking human form...

When that time came, she would finally have a human body!

Hehehe, Master never brings her along when he finds something fun, but later she'll stage a coup, turn the tables, and rebel...

"Just keep looking forward to it, then."

Lu Li nodded slightly, though he sighed inwardly, grateful that Lingling wasn't quite that clever...

Where on earth was there such a thing as a fairy herb that could increase a soul beast's age?

Or perhaps this was an inherent flaw of soul beasts in this era; after all, the smart ones had all died out...

"..."

Several dozen minutes later.

"Navigation complete. The destination is below you."

Tiandou City, arrived!

Far outside the city outskirts, Lu Li retracted his mecha and took a vehicle out of his Soul Tool, heading toward the city. Before long, he had arrived at his destination.

This was a massive, towering building with a hammer-shaped structure on the roof. It was striking from a distance, its sheer scale making its status clear at a glance.

This was the headquarters of the Blacksmith's Association, the holy land in the hearts of blacksmiths across the entire continent, and the place where forging flourished most, presided over by the world's only Divine Craftsman, Zhen Hua.

Lu Li didn't linger at the entrance. He walked straight into the Blacksmith's Association, skillfully pulled out an elevator card with top-level clearance, entered the high-speed elevator, and soon arrived at the top floor's president's office, where he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Lu Li knocked on the door and then pushed it open. At this very moment, a tall man was sitting not far away, a bold and heroic smile on his face.

The man was tall and broad with a resolute expression, appearing to be in his forties. His eyes held a depth and weariness far beyond his years. He was the man who stood at the absolute pinnacle of the blacksmithing world...

A level-nine blacksmith, a Divine Craftsman, and a four-word Battle Armor Master, Zhen Hua!

"Uncle Zhen, I'm here."

Looking at the latter, Lu Li said with respect on his face.

"You arrived quite quickly. Sit down, quickly."

Zhen Hua looked at the young man before him, his face filled with unconcealable approval as he spoke with a smile.

Lu Li, what a fine child.

If he himself was one half of the sky for blacksmiths, then Lu Li would be the other half that would eventually surpass him. An eighteen-year-old peak level-eight blacksmith with top-tier martial soul talent...

"Since the senior called for me, how could this junior dare to refuse?"

Lu Li sat down to the side with a beaming smile, his face showing unconcealable respect as he spoke truthfully.

In his eyes, fifty percent was reverence for Zhen Hua, while the remaining ninety-five percent...

Was entirely anticipation for the four-word Battle Armor.

"Dare to refuse?"

"Usually, when I ask if you have time to come to Tiandou City to forge, it's either windy or raining. You don't dare to refuse, huh..."

"You're just here to get this, aren't you?"

Zhen Hua gave him a look of mock annoyance. As the leader of the blacksmithing world, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for most people to even get a meeting with him, but this kid Lu Li...

It was as difficult as ascending to heaven for him to see the boy!

"Uncle Zhen is joking. The four-word Battle Armor is certainly very important, but the main reason for coming this time is to see you and Uncle Mu. Is Uncle Mu not here today?"

Lu Li shook his head and replied with a smile.

"You know how much he loves cooking for you. As soon as he knew you were coming, he went to prepare ingredients."

"He'll be back in a while."

Zhen Hua smiled and said truthfully.

"Before that..."

"Why don't you put it on and try it out?"

As he spoke, he simply raised his hand and waved. A full set of Battle Armor, flowing with soul power and mutually attracting each other, appeared on the table, signaling for Lu Li to try it on quickly.

"Alright!"

Lu Li's face glowed with anticipation. Wasn't this exactly what he had come for?

As he thought this, he immediately picked up the set of Battle Armor that was drawing him in. In that very instant, a strong sense of intimacy already emanated from it.

As an enhanced version of his former three-word Battle Armor "Holy Dragon King," even though it had now achieved the status of a top-tier four-word Battle Armor, its bond with him still created an incredibly high level of affinity in an intangible way.

Regarding this, Lu Li naturally did not hesitate in the slightest; after guiding the Battle Armor into his body, he instantly released his Martial Soul to achieve fusion with it.

"Golden Holy Dragon King!"

Beneath Lu Li's feet, nine soul rings—four black and five red—echoed each other, and the noble figure of the Dragon King instantly loomed high behind him. Countless golden-patterned scales lit up on his body, and at this very moment...

The light of various elements flashed and vanished; in just an instant, the powerful Battle Armor completed its perfect deployment.

On Lu Li at this moment, a set of armor with an extremely high aesthetic appeal was already attached—

It was a sleek, form-fitting four-word Battle Armor with no sense of encumbrance. The entire set featured a brilliant gold base color with crimson gold patterns traced across it. While various lights flowed over its surface, fine Holy Dragon scale patterns were hidden within the texture of the armor, as if the life-bound scales shed by an ancient Holy Dragon were covering his body.

The headpiece was a semi-covered Holy Dragon helmet, with curved Kinkaku piercing the sky at an angle. Bright golden holy patterns meandered from the center of his forehead to the edge of the helmet, and the eyes revealed beneath it possessed a monstrous aura, with the brilliant golden light of the Golden Holy Dragon King Martial Soul quietly overflowing from the gaps in the helmet.

Four-word Battle Armor, Golden Dragon Holy King!

"How is it? How does it feel!"

At this moment, Zhen Hua's eyes were shining, his gaze fixed on the Lu Li before him, his eyes burning as if he were looking at a beautiful woman stripped of her clothes.

It looked...

Pretty good!

No one would dislike their own work, especially since the level of care he had put into Lu Li's Battle Armor almost surpassed that of all the Super Douluo and Limit Douluo he had worked with in the past...

Including Yun Ming.

Not only did he use seven-element metals to forge a Heaven-forged fusion, but he had also spent a great deal of effort. It was no exaggeration to say that, apart from a Limit Douluo, no one was worth this kind of treatment from him, and besides...

This time, he didn't charge any money.

"I only feel..."

"That I am terrifyingly strong!"

Lu Li took a deep breath, looked at the person before him, and spoke truthfully.

He only felt that he was terrifyingly strong.

He had known how strong the amplification of a four-word Battle Armor was, but at the moment he truly experienced it, he realized his previous understanding had been too small...

Too small, his perspective had been too narrow.

This was simply explosive, wasn't it!

No wonder it was said that a Title Douluo wearing a four-word Battle Armor could erupt with strength comparable to a Limit Douluo. The experience brought by a four-word Battle Armor was indeed powerful; this was a percentage-based bonus right from the start.

Roughly calculated, this set, which had an extremely high compatibility, probably had a bonus effect of over 400%, plus the effects of amplification-type soul skills, domain soul skill enhancements, the Martial Soul Avatar, and so on...

Could this be the pure power of numerical values?

[Long-term Task: I Must Become a Battle Armor Master (Completed)]

[Host, you have actually become a glorious Battle Armor Master, experienced the small percentage-based amplification for the first time, and obtained the pleasure of a pure numerical increase.]

[Are you truly a genius?]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Reward: Current Battle Armor effects increased by 100% overall, with each part improved by 50%.]

"..."

Lu Li's expression faltered, his words stuck in his throat.

A 400% bonus was already at the near-upper limit level among four-word Battle Armors, requiring extremely high compatibility and fusion. His own set of armor had only achieved this effect after years of nourishment...

And now, an increase of 100% meant...

800%?

ps: Golden Dragon Holy King seems to sound a bit better than God King, though of course, I'm still terrible at naming things.

"..."

Years later, looking at Lu Li's four-word Battle Armor which had received four rounds of effect enhancements, the God King Tang San frowned deeply: "Impossible, where did you get the Dragon God Set...?"

"Oh?"

"Then take a look at this."

Lu Li unhurriedly released the Dragon God Set, re-equipping his god-level Battle Armor...

Tang San: Is he hacking?
