Setting Sail for the East Sea, the Prototype of the Emperor Armor!

Setting off for East Sea, the prototype of the Emperor Armor!

Qiangu Wuji's meditation did not last long, only about a few minutes. By the time he opened his eyes again, the three of them were already sitting back in their original positions, chatting casually as if nothing had just happened.

Seeing this, he didn't think too much about it and returned to his own seat.

Just as he sat down, Yun Ming looked over and spoke indifferently.

"I heard from your mother that you're setting off for East Sea Academy tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, that's correct."

Qiangu Wuji replied politely.

Yun Ming nodded.

"I respect your decision to take things one step at a time. However, given your talent, you will inevitably enter Shrek in three years. I look forward to you bringing me some surprises then."

"Don't worry, Uncle Yun Ming, I won't let you down."

Qiangu Wuji nodded, his eyes filled with confidence.

With his talent, getting into Shrek would be a breeze; he felt no pressure regarding that at all.

Seeing him so confident, Yun Ming didn't say anything more.

And just like that, his part in this meeting was effectively over, and the rest was just standard small talk.

Qiangu Wuji listened, feeling bored; he had no interest in the topics discussed by these older people.

So, after listening for a while longer, he pulled Na'er up and said to the three of them.

"Mom, I'm going to say goodbye to my teacher, so I'll be heading off first."

"Mm, go ahead."

Leng Yaozhu nodded.

With that, Qiangu Wuji took Na'er and left the restaurant.

On the bustling street, as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Na'er couldn't help but pat her small chest and complain.

"I was bored to death; those two were so scary."

"Are they really that scary?"

Qiangu Wuji couldn't help but laugh or cry. Was this girl serious? Yun Ming and Ya Li were genuine good-hearted people, and Ya Li was even known as the kindest woman on the continent. How could she be scary?

"Hmph, of course it's true," Na'er stuck out her little tongue, then grabbed Qiangu Wuji's arm and pouted, saying, "If Na'er feels unhappy in the future, I'll just sneak away from those two and come find Brother Wuji."

When Na'er said this, her tone was very low.

Seeing her like this, Qiangu Wuji knew the little girl was sad about them having to separate. His own mood dipped for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, ruffled her silver hair, and said.

"Don't worry, Na'er. If they make you unhappy, then I'll make them unhappy."

After coaxing Na'er into a better mood, Qiangu Wuji told her to head home first while he went to see Mu Ye.

He was setting off for East Sea tomorrow, so he certainly wouldn't be able to go learn from him every day like before.

Therefore, before leaving, he needed to say goodbye to this teacher.

Over the three years they had spent together, he had long since come to respect this teacher in his heart.

Walking slowly along the way, he arrived at the Seaview Home Hotel by the seaside before he knew it.

The hotel receptionist was already very familiar with this handsome little boy. Seeing him arrive, she smiled and greeted him.

"Wuji, you're dressed so nicely today. Do you have a date with some little girl?"

Qiangu Wuji said as he walked.

"What little girl? How old do you think I am?"

"Haha, being young is the best part. You have no idea, my best friend is always saying she wants to take you home and raise you."

Qiangu Wuji: "..."

He pretended not to hear her and quickened his pace.

Behind him, a burst of giggling laughter echoed.

He quickly made his way to the top floor of the hotel.

At this moment, it was as if Mu Ye had known he was coming; the door was not closed but left wide open.

Seeing this, Qiangu Wuji didn't think much of it and walked straight into the room.

"You're here."

As soon as he entered, a voice came from the side of the room, and immediately after, an object was thrown toward him in a parabolic arc.

Qiangu Wuji was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, catching it in his grasp instantly.

"This is?"

Looking at the object in his hand, a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Teacher, you actually managed to make it!"

This object was nothing else but a rectangular metal box, with a pigeon-egg-sized gemstone embedded on its surface.

That's right, this was the transformation device for the Emperor Armor he had envisioned.

Over these past three years, while learning the techniques of the Body Sect from Mu Ye, he had also shared his idea of creating the Emperor Armor with him.

After three years of exploration and countless attempts, he had finally found a way to bring the Emperor Armor to life.

"It's a pity, but the kind of Battle Armor you're imagining is simply impossible to realize," Mu Ye walked out from the side, glancing at the object in his hand. "Storing all your soul power in a micro-compressed Soul Tool and then releasing it all at once when needed—that is simply impossible to achieve."

Listening to what he said, Qiangu Wuji looked at the transformation device in his hand with confusion.

"Then Teacher, what is this transformation device...?"

"Oh, you mean this? I made it by combining the concepts of Battle Armor and mecha. It's basically a mecha in the shape of a Battle Armor."

"Huh? A mecha in the shape of a Battle Armor?"

Hearing this explanation, Qiangu Wuji was stunned; what was that supposed to mean?

Mu Ye curled the corners of his mouth.

"Just try it yourself and you'll know. Simply put, although it has the appearance of a Battle Armor, it doesn't have the exaggerated amplification of one."

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji nodded. Without overthinking it, he pressed the transformation device directly.

The moment he pressed it, the gemstone setting on the device suddenly lit up with a dazzling light. Immediately after, a crisp sound of mechanical transformation rang out abruptly, and the device in his hand began to change its form.

Countless metal plates emerged from the small device, and like magnets, they rapidly converged onto his body, forming a suit of armor in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!"

There was a floor-to-ceiling window in front of Qiangu Wuji, reflecting his current appearance. Looking at the armor blended with black and yellow in the reflection, he was so excited he almost shouted out loud.

This...

This, this, this, this is the Emperor Armor!

However, he soon discovered something was wrong.

"Wait, why does this feel so strange?"

Qiangu Wuji carefully sensed the changes in his body, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

According to the descriptions in the original work, if it were a Battle Armor, one would be able to feel the terrifying amplification while wearing it.

But now, wearing this armor, he felt nothing other than the weight of the armor itself.

"Does it feel strange? Actually, this is just a mecha that is roughly at the Black Grade."
