Back in the dormitory, Li Ang sat on his bed, took out his notes, and continued studying Dou Kai's overall design.
He had already worked through most of the Dou Kai design. The designs for the legs and head would be finished soon.
Once he completed the design, he could have Little Butterfly try simulating the Battle Armor and see whether it could truly reproduce the effects of One-Word Battle Armor.
If it worked, that would be very interesting.
Time passed second by second, and two months flew by in the blink of an eye.
For almost the entire two months, Li Ang barely left his room, focusing on the Battle Armor design.
He had completed the full design for the entire suit last month. This month, he began running Battle Armor simulation tests with Little Butterfly.
The results were obvious.
As a living being with a will of her own, Little Butterfly had almost no trouble simulating the Battle Armor. In fact, she performed even better than a normal suit of Battle Armor.
And once Li Ang used the Battle Armor simulated by Little Butterfly, she could also take control of his body.
If Li Ang lost consciousness or suffered mental trauma, she could fight in his place.
Li Ang was also studying Little Butterfly's abilities in greater depth.
Little Butterfly could do more than reproduce the Battle Armor's existing features; she could add new ones. After all, normal Battle Armor didn't include a helmet.
But Li Ang's was not only a complete suit of Battle Armor; it was a complete suit of armor.
It covered him from head to toe, greatly boosting his defense and strength in every respect.
He was especially interested in its defensive capabilities. Li Ang planned to test whether Little Butterfly could absorb special metals to improve her own mental defenses.
Li Ang's physical strength was already off the charts, and his mental strength wasn't bad either.
But compared with his physical strength, it still fell short.
At that moment, Li Ang stood calmly outside the school in Eastsea City.
He was mainly there to wait for Uncle Li.
The last time he'd gone home, Uncle Li hadn't been there. Ming Yue had told him that Uncle Li had gone to Shrek City and would be away for a long time.
So Li Ang had had to keep in touch with Uncle Li through a Soul Tool.
Today, Uncle Li told him that he'd returned to Eastsea City.
On the surface, Li Ang was there to see Uncle Li. In reality, he was going to meet his other master, the one he'd acquired by sheer luck.
A red car pulled up slowly in front of the school in Eastsea City.
Li Ang glanced at it and saw Mu Ye sitting calmly in the back seat.
Uncle Li wasn't in the car.
Mu Ye studied his newly accepted direct disciple, then raised a hand and lightly poked Li Ang's body.
Power so terrifyingly immense gathered at his fingertip.
Yet when it touched Li Ang, it only made his skin spring back slightly. It didn't even leave a mark.
Seeing this, Mu Ye's eyes lifted in surprise. A trace of astonishment crossed his usually calm face.
"Not bad, kid. I didn't expect you to have mastered the compression of power to this degree."
Mu Ye spoke, still visibly surprised.
He raised his hand slightly, and four white jade bottles appeared in it.
"These contain a medicine called Bone Tempering Pill, a specialty of the Body Sect."
"They're all made from a combination of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year spirit medicines. They're excellent for tempering the body."
After speaking, Mu Ye handed the pills to Li Ang.
Li Ang took them, and Mu Ye placed a hand on his shoulder.
Vast, abyss-like Soul Power surged into him, beginning an examination of his body.
Li Ang's body was like a monster held in chains.
His muscles had grown enormous, yet he didn't possess a divine body capable of bearing such power.
If he were to fully release his body now, he would become a monstrous creature of unimaginable size.
But because his body was restrained, he forcefully held his own muscles in check with his physical strength, which was why he looked so normal.
Both Uncle Li and Mu Ye understood that this state was not good for Li Ang.
His current strength was terrifying, but only in his true, human form—or, rather, if he could keep his original form—could he fully unleash the muscles' frightening explosive power.
At present, Li Ang couldn't do that.
Still, thanks to the Geo Archon Rex Lapis Template, his body was constantly being tempered.
With the Body Sect's secret arts and the Geo Archon Rex Lapis Template, Li Ang's body was also moving toward becoming like the Geo Archon Rex Lapis's.
But he was still far from a body comparable to a god's, capable of moving mountains, overturning seas, or even destroying the world. The difference was simply too vast to compare.
In these circumstances, Li Ang could only improve himself gradually, making sure his body wouldn't collapse.
He also had to keep restraining his muscles so they could be tempered.
That made Bone Tempering Pills incredibly important to Li Ang—almost unimaginably so.
"Thank you for the pills, Master."
There was a rare trace of respect in Li Ang's voice.
These pills might not mean much to the four major organizations, but to the Body Sect, they were unquestionably treasures kept in reserve for the most desperate hour.
Even so, there weren't enough for Li Ang.
These four bottles could temper at most a third of his body. The rest would still need to be tempered over and over.
Thinking this, Li Ang raised his hand slightly. A wooden box appeared in it—the one Leng Yaozhu had given him before she left two months ago.
Li Ang opened the box. Inside were three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs, all of them meant to boost his vitality.
But they were of no use to him.
After all, he already had more than enough Soul Power and nourishment.
In that case, it would be better to give the three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs to Mu Ye. He could sell them, exchange them for the resources Li Ang needed, and then help him refine another batch of Bone Tempering Pills.
Mu Ye paused when Li Ang handed him the box, then slowly opened it.
Seeing the three neatly arranged ten-thousand-year spirit herbs inside, Mu Ye's eyes filled with shock, and he fell silent.
The Body Sect had spent decades saving up. Even Mu Ye, a Super Douluo, had contributed his own private reserves, yet they'd only managed to gather two ten-thousand-year spirit herbs to refine these four bottles of Bone Tempering Pills.
But Leng Yaozhu had casually handed over three spirit herbs.
Each of the three was worth more than the ten-thousand-year spirit herbs they'd used to refine the Bone Tempering Pills.
They could easily be exchanged for four or even five of the ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit herbs the Body Sect needed to make more Bone Tempering Pills.
Looking at the box in his hands, Mu Ye understood what Li Ang meant, even though he hadn't said a word.
He let out a quiet sigh.
"Good kid. Keeping you in the Spirit Pagoda was the right choice."
"The Body Sect could never get its hands on resources like these. Only a top-tier organization could casually produce three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs."
"Study hard here."
"In a month at most, I'll be able to refine another eight to ten bottles of Bone Tempering Pills. I'll have your senior brother bring them to you."
"Your senior brother will stay here and protect you."
