Asura Armor Fusion

When Qin Heng heard Qian Daoliu's question, he answered without hesitation, "Grandpa Qian, I want Strength Amplification for my First Soul Ring, and either Speed or Agility Amplification for my Second Soul Ring."

"Both of your first two Soul Rings will be enhancement-type Soul Skills? Are you sure, Xiao Heng? Choosing this kind of Soul Ring means you'll lack offensive methods in the early stages."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Qian. My Martial Soul won't lack ways to attack."

After saying that, Qin Heng's thoughts rang in Qian Daoliu's ears: In my previous life, I didn't understand the Asura Armor well enough. For my First Soul Ring, I followed my father's example and added the Soul Ring of an Iron-Armored Violent Ape, obtaining a Soul Skill called Armor Guard. After fusing with the armor, I discovered that the Asura Armor had no need for defensive Soul Skills at all. Its defense far surpassed that of Soul Masters of the same rank, so that Soul Skill was completely useless. The armor itself also came with many offensive Soul Skills, and they would automatically unlock as my level increased. I didn't know that in my previous life, which resulted in none of my first four Soul Rings being useful. I absolutely can't make the same mistake in this life!

Upon hearing Qin Heng's thoughts, Qian Daoliu understood immediately. He grabbed Qin Heng and took him to a forest where the Angel Clan raised Soul Beasts.

Qian Daoliu set Qin Heng down, summoned his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and left a strand of Soul Power on Qin Heng as protection before disappearing.

When Qian Daoliu reappeared, he held an ape whose entire body was covered in brilliant golden fur.

"This Soul Beast is called a Holy Light Ape. It is around 2,200 years old. According to the records passed down through generations of the Angel Clan, killing a Holy Light Ape and obtaining its Soul Ring gives roughly a ninety percent chance of gaining a Strength Amplification-type Soul Skill. There is less than a ten percent chance of gaining a purification-type Soul Skill, while the possibility of obtaining any other Soul Skill can be ignored."

After speaking, Qian Daoliu tossed the Holy Light Ape in front of Qin Heng and handed him a sharp dagger.

This was Qin Heng's first time killing a Soul Beast. It would have been a lie to say he was not nervous. To keep his persona from falling apart, Qin Heng's thoughts rang out again: Sigh, in my previous life, I made an agreement with the Silver Dragon King. Once I became a god, I would use Spirit Hall to promote the Soul Spirit Method and stop killing Soul Beasts indiscriminately. I never expected that, upon starting over, I would have to break my own promise.

Qian Daoliu froze upon hearing Qin Heng's thoughts. What was the Soul Spirit Method? And who was the Silver Dragon King?

For Qin Heng to hesitate even over killing a Millennium Soul Beast, that being's identity had to be extraordinary. Was it a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast?

Suddenly, Qian Daoliu seemed to remember something. Records passed down through the Qian Family stated that within the Star Dou Great Forest, there were existences even more ancient than hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts. Could the Silver Dragon King be one of those ancient beings described in the records?

While Qian Daoliu's thoughts raced, Qin Heng finally steeled himself. With one slash, he killed the Holy Light Ape, and a deep purple Soul Ring condensed above the ape's corpse.

Qin Heng sat cross-legged and summoned the Asura Armor Summoner. He then used his Martial Soul to draw in the Soul Ring, and the purple Millennium Soul Ring immediately settled around the Summoner.

It was Qian Daoliu's first time seeing someone absorb a Millennium Soul Ring as their First Soul Ring. Although he knew Qin Heng's physical condition could withstand it without issue, he still found himself inexplicably nervous.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Qin Heng absorbed the Soul Ring with ease, showing not the slightest sign of discomfort throughout the process.

"The 2,200-year Soul Ring is still too weak." The same thought surfaced in Qin Heng and Qian Daoliu's minds at the same time.

After Qin Heng rose to his feet, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell upon the Asura Armor Summoner in his hand. He clearly wanted to witness the Asura Armor for himself.

Qin Heng did not waste words. He directly flipped open the Summoner's cover and pressed Fire → Wind → Thunder → Activate.

A gauntlet slot then appeared on Qin Heng's arm. He embedded the Summoner into it, and the armor's energy fused with the Soul Power within his body as the armor immediately fused with him.

Qian Daoliu only saw a blur before a domineering and noble figure appeared, its main colors silver, purple, gold, and black.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Qian Daoliu could not help marveling at the Asura Armor's magnificence and imposing presence.

The first thing Qian Daoliu noticed was the diamond-shaped heavenly eye in the center of the Asura Armor's forehead. Merely looking at that eye gave even him, a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, an oppressive feeling.

Qian Daoliu shifted his gaze and examined the armor's other parts. Its face had red compound eyes and sharp lines, while the facial armor plates were distinctly angular, carrying both majesty and a sinister charm.

At the center of its chest plate was an energy core interwoven in black and white. He did not recognize the patterns around it; they were likely a variant of some kind of script, spreading outward in radial lines.

The shoulder plates were enormous, heavy, and sharply angular, radiating intense pressure. The purple cloak behind it was exceptionally eye-catching.

At that moment, Qin Heng was also immersed in the immense power granted by the Asura Armor. According to the setting of Armor Hero Xing Tian, the Asura Armor's attribute was law, representing the power to judge all things. It could control the four elements of wind, fire, thunder, and darkness, and it also possessed the power of time and space.

After fusing with the armor, Qin Heng could clearly sense that he possessed the ability to teleport instantly. He could blink freely anywhere within a five-hundred-meter range, though the Soul Power consumption was rather high. Every teleport used up five percent of his Soul Power.

At the same time, the Asura Armor granted him extraordinary defensive power, allowing him to ignore the vast majority of attacks from anyone below the Soul Elder rank.

Once he reached level fifty, the Asura Armor would be able to use Shift Scene Technique and Telekinesis. It could also be controlled with thought, suppressing an opponent's movements.

At level seventy, after awakening his Martial Soul Avatar, the Asura Armor would be able to travel through time and space. At its furthest, it could return ten thousand years into the past or travel ten thousand years into the future.

Originally, the Asura Armor had a weakness: its power depended entirely on the strength of its summoner's will. If the summoner's state of mind wavered, its strength would diminish greatly.

At the same time, the Geng-Wu Vajra Pestle forged from M Crystal on Ares Planet could also restrain the Asura Armor's power.

However, Qin Heng's Asura Armor had evolved through the Martial Soul Evolution Card given by the Runaway System, which had also removed all negative effects. In other words, those weaknesses no longer existed for Qin Heng.

The Asura Armor could unleash its greatest might in his hands.

However, the Asura Armor's abilities had to be unlocked step by step. The First Soul Ring unlocked the Asura Armor; the Second Soul Ring unlocked the Asura Wind-Cleaving Claw; the Third Soul Ring unlocked the Asura Magic Dagger; the Fourth Soul Ring unlocked the Asura Purgatory Blade; the Fifth Soul Ring unlocked Shift Shadow and Telekinesis; the Sixth Soul Ring unlocked the Asura Purgatory Halberd; and once he reached level seventy and possessed a Martial Soul Avatar, he could travel between the past and future.

Previously, Qin Heng had only possessed a vague sense of the Asura Armor's abilities. Now that the armor had fused with him, he finally fully understood its miraculous nature, and even more ideas immediately surfaced in his mind.
