The Second Second Profession

Having said that, Li Ang didn't dawdle; he was a man of action through and through.

After leaving with the Little Butterfly, Li Ang returned directly to his own room.

After conducting a further examination of the Little Butterfly and confirming that it could also unlock the ability for unlimited evolution by devouring metal, Li Ang let out a long sigh of relief.

"You should also have a keyword. From now on, when I say 'Armor Integration', you are to fuse with me immediately. Do not hesitate, and do not think about anything else."

"After the words 'Armor' appear, if I have the intention to continue speaking or communicate with you via thought, you are to charge at me and initiate fusion."

Li Ang looked at the Little Butterfly before him, speaking very directly. He hadn't settled on a name for it yet, or perhaps Little Butterfly was already its name.

As for its scientific name, Crystal Butterfly, it was a bit troublesome to say.

As Li Ang spoke, he looked at the Little Butterfly flapping its wings. The wings of the Crystal Butterfly fluttered gently, seemingly in affirmation, before it landed slowly on Li Ang's shoulder.

Watching the butterfly, Li Ang's eyes flickered. He raised his hand, took out his Soul Guidance Communicator, and dialed Ming Yue directly.

"Young Pagoda Master, greetings. Is there something you need? Or perhaps a request?"

"Sister Ming Yue, I hope you can help me obtain the design technology for Battle Armor, specifically the assembly modes and assembly types for a complete One-Word Battle Armor."

Li Ang spoke very directly. After finishing, he ended the call, stood up in silence, and examined the entire physical structure of the Crystal Butterfly.

As pieces of forged metal were handed to the Little Butterfly, its size did not increase, but its weight began to change quietly.

Looking at this creature born from his own blood, Li Ang's expression was calm.

"Although it didn't inherit the Geo Archon Rex Lapis's ability for Elemental Mastery, this ability to grow stronger by devouring metal is also quite good."

As he spoke, Li Ang began to take out his own collection from his vault. He had a great deal of Hundred-Refined Metal and Thousand-Refined Metal forged over the past three years.

Especially after mastering the ability to purify metal, although he hadn't yet mastered Spirit Refinement, he had more than enough Hundred-Refined and Thousand-Refined metal.

As a large amount of metal was devoured, the Little Butterfly's body trembled slightly. Li Ang could feel that the Crystal Butterfly seemed to be beginning to fuse the characteristics of these metals.

This performance was not like the Blue Pregnancy Metal, which only carried the characteristics of defense and vitality, but rather an ultimate characteristic formed by fusing the traits of various metals—a characteristic with a high degree of uncertainty.

But for Li Ang, that wasn't very important at the moment. After all, his current strength was where it was, and since he existed within the Spirit Pagoda, no one would plot against him or scheme against him.

It could also be said that he hadn't stepped onto the main stage yet; those true geniuses had nothing to do with him, even though his talent and methods had already reached a terrifying level.

But whether in the eyes of the world or in the eyes of that Plane Lord currently in deep slumber, Li Ang was just a very ordinary existence. In fact, no one would even notice someone like him.

This was what Li Ang wanted, and it was also what he needed to do most right now: developing in secret was the right path.

As the saying goes, caution comes first. Only when his strength grows can he seize the complete authority of Douluo Planet and become its new master.

As Li Ang was thinking, the door opened and Ming Yue walked in. She held a paper document in her hand; such documents were rare at this stage, as most were information-stream types.

Looking at the paper document, Li Ang took it calmly and opened it. Most of the content was about the construction and forging methods of Battle Armor.

The forging methods were not difficult to learn, as Li Ang was a blacksmith himself, but he was completely unskilled in mecha design; one could even say he had no foundation in it at all.

At this moment, asking him to modify the Little Butterfly so that it could master the characteristics of Battle Armor and perfectly simulate its capabilities was a great challenge not only for the Little Butterfly but also for Li Ang.

"I was a bit whimsical, but this plan is indeed feasible. As long as I can bring my mecha design level up to the standard of a One-Word Battle Armor, I should be able to complete the design directly."

Li Ang muttered to himself, his brows slightly furrowed. This was equivalent to adding another field, wasting his time and energy.

With two secondary professions, he would be much more tired than others.

But the benefit was that he wouldn't have to worry about Battle Armor in the future; he could even develop his own Four-Word Battle Armor.

As for the Five-Word and Six-Word Battle Armor that wouldn't appear until ten thousand years later, he also had a way.

After all, the Little Butterfly could grow infinitely. Although these metals couldn't grant the Little Butterfly the more powerful characteristics of Heavenly Refinement metal, once he mastered Heavenly Refinement forging and fed it a large amount of such metal, the Little Butterfly might very well become even stronger.

As Li Ang envisioned this, he began to lean down and practice metal forging and Battle Armor design. Seeing Li Ang's serious expression, a rare trace of surprise appeared on Ming Yue's face.

However, she didn't say anything to her Young Pagoda Master. His ideas were sometimes so novel that even she found them hard to grasp.

But having known him for three years, she no longer looked at him as if he were a monster. Or perhaps, because of Shen Ming, Ming Yue had never held any ill will toward Li Ang.

"Young Pagoda Master, please don't forget that tomorrow is the opening ceremony of Eastsea Academy. You are required to go to Eastsea Academy to report."

After Ming Yue said this, she repeated it again. It wasn't until she finished the second time that Li Ang looked up at her before continuing his design.

Seeing Li Ang look at her, Ming Yue exited the room helplessly and closed the door slowly.

Li Ang didn't sleep at all that night, but because of his brain—or rather, his inherent intelligence and his connection to Douluo Planet—his mental processing power and his personality, while unique, were not low in terms of wisdom.

Under the condition of discarding all cumulative and digital models, and by coordinating with his current design, researching a set of Battle Armor that belonged to him—or rather, suited him—was not a difficult task.

He couldn't complete a full set of Battle Armor in a short time, but completing a single component posed no difficulty for him.

Furthermore, the Little Butterfly had a powerful characteristic: it could be disassembled without limitation.

It could use its own body as a structural blueprint to construct a set of Battle Armor that was 100% compatible with Li Ang's own body.
