Battle Armor Martial Soul Sam

"Teacher Wu, can I enroll now?" Liu Ying asked slowly as she watched Wu Zhangkong examine Tang Wulin's injuries.

"Since you defeated Tang Wulin, I will keep my promise." Tang Wulin was fine; he had merely been knocked unconscious after getting hit in the head by something hard. With his powerful vitality, he would wake up soon enough.

But... he was definitely going to need a huge meal!

Tang Wulin's vitality was incredibly vigorous, but it did not come from nowhere. It relied on his usual cultivation and eating.

The reason he had displayed such tremendous vitality over the past two days was purely because he had recently eaten several good meals. If he had gone hungry, Tang Wulin might not have been nearly this strong.

"However, I want to know—was your Martial Soul that suit of armor from earlier?"

There were many kinds of Martial Souls. From household items to soul beasts, there were all sorts of strange and bizarre forms. Over the years, the most unusual Martial Soul Wu Zhangkong had ever seen was Herta's Nous.

Even now, Wu Zhangkong still did not know what Nous truly was.

But Liu Ying's Martial Soul was easier to guess. It was clear from the previous battle that the armor was her Martial Soul.

To be honest, armor-type Martial Souls had appeared before, but none had possessed Liu Ying's Soul Guidance Technology style. They had merely been ancient armor.

"That would be one way to put it. My Martial Soul can indeed be considered a suit of armor, but... the true body of my Martial Soul is not the armor itself. It is this!"

As she spoke, Liu Ying moved her hand slightly. A speck of silver light flashed in her palm once more, accompanied by the green flames that had spilled forth during the battle.

What was this?

Wu Zhangkong frowned. He remembered the object in Liu Ying's hand perfectly—it was the thing that had knocked Tang Wulin unconscious earlier... Who would have thought it could transform into a suit of armor?

"Firefly Armor 'Sam.' This is my Martial Soul!"

Only when Liu Ying spread her hands did Wu Zhangkong finally see the true form of her Martial Soul. No matter how he looked at it, it was Soul Guidance Technology! Could something like this actually become a Martial Soul? Wu Zhangkong was deeply shaken.

"After releasing my Martial Soul, I can control the armor in battle. At the same time, I can use the power of flames for support and unleash extremely powerful firepower."

After listening to Liu Ying's introduction of her Martial Soul, Wu Zhangkong silently nodded. He had watched the battle earlier, but the flames of this armor Martial Soul were not merely for support!

Although he had been some distance away, Wu Zhangkong could still sense the firepower it had unleashed. It had reached at least the level of rank thirty, while Liu Ying... was only rank twenty. Not everyone possessed the ability to fight above their level.

Not bad. Very good!

Who would have thought that after Herta left, he would encounter another talent like this?

It truly seemed that heaven was blessing him!

"Go run with them first. Tang Wulin too."

As he spoke, Wu Zhangkong glanced down. Tang Wulin still had not gotten up? What a waste of such powerful vitality!

So Wu Zhangkong stretched out his foot and kicked Tang Wulin awake.

"Hurry up and get up. Don't forget what I said earlier—run twenty extra laps!"

Who was Tang Wulin? From now on, I only recognize Liu Ying!

Tang Wulin: So love really can disappear, right?

Before leaving, however, Wu Zhangkong still said, "Liu Ying, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, the three of you come find me after dinner tonight."

Thus, Liu Ying easily enrolled in Eastsea Academy and became Tang Wulin's classmate. In the days to come, she would surely have more opportunities to observe the divine power within Tang Wulin.

That night.

"Starting today, special training begins. We will prepare for the Promotion Tournament three months from now."

In the original first-year Class Five, the only students worth mentioning were Xie Xie and Tang Wulin. Though there were few of them, their strength was genuine.

What Wu Zhangkong had not expected was that another surprise had arrived during the day.

That girl named Liu Ying possessed talent no weaker than Tang Wulin's—perhaps even greater!

Since that was the case, Wu Zhangkong would never waste the talents of the three of them. Just as he had treated Herta back then, once he realized he had little left to teach her, he immediately recommended her to a better place.

Only in this way could their potential truly be brought out.

"So your special training will be to fight me!"

"Over these three months, I will find ways to improve your combat abilities and strive for first place in the Promotion Tournament!"

Wu Zhangkong's words were naturally not empty boasts. One look at his eyes showed how serious he was, and how high his expectations were for the three before him.

So, the three of them got beaten up.

Tang Wulin suffered the worst beating. Wu Zhangkong had discovered at the start of the school year that this child possessed exceptionally tenacious vitality. Not only was he strong and highly durable, but he also recovered quickly after being injured. Thus, Wu Zhangkong deliberately trained him in that direction—the so-called front-line defensive role. Over the next three months, Tang Wulin would surely receive even more beatings.

Xie Xie, on the other hand, was beaten fewer times. As an agility attack-type soul master, his attack speed was high, but his defense was also low. Once Wu Zhangkong caught him, Xie Xie would basically be knocked unconscious in a single blow.

As for Liu Ying... unfortunately, Wu Zhangkong did not hit her even once. Of course, Wu Zhangkong had definitely attacked, but every strike landed on Sam. Liu Ying herself was practically uninjured.

However, under Wu Zhangkong's tempering, the relationship among the three progressed very quickly. They could already be called a "three-person team."

But in the end, Wu Zhangkong still kept Liu Ying behind, because he had an important matter to ask her about.

Naturally, what Wu Zhangkong wanted to ask concerned Herta. Aside from introducing Liu Ying to this place in her letter, Herta had also explained the characteristics of the girl's Martial Soul in detail.

For example... she did not need Battle Armor! Since her Martial Soul could not be compatible with Battle Armor, "Sam" could completely be treated as Battle Armor!

And most importantly, "Sam" could grow stronger!

In order to forge their own Battle Armor, soul masters would either become Forging Masters or purchase high-grade metals elsewhere, then use them to create their Battle Armor.

But Liu Ying would not have this problem, because her Martial Soul could directly absorb those high-grade metals, thereby increasing Sam's strength.

In other words, Sam was a Martial Soul capable of growth!

As long as it absorbed enough metal of sufficiently high quality, Sam could become a top-tier Martial Soul—or even surpass top-tier Martial Souls!

Sorry, I got a little stuck.

Back to grinding.
