Goodbye Mu Ye

Back at the dormitory, Li Ang sat on his bed, took out his manuscript, and began to continue his research on the overall design of Dou Kai.

He had already finished the majority of his current battle armor design, and the designs for the legs and head would be completed soon.

Once the design was finished, he could have Little Butterfly perform a battle armor simulation to see if it could truly replicate the effects of a One-Word Battle Armor.

If it could, that would be very interesting indeed.

Time passed second by second, and two months flew by in the blink of an eye.

During these two months, Li Ang had barely stepped out, spending all his time researching the battle armor design.

He had completed the full design of the entire set of battle armor last month, and this month, he had begun conducting battle armor simulation tests on Little Butterfly.

The results were self-evident.

As a creature possessing autonomous life, Little Butterfly had almost no issues simulating the battle armor, performing even better than the operation of a normal battle armor.

Furthermore, after using the battle armor simulated by Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly could also take control of Li Ang's body.

When Li Ang lost consciousness or suffered mental trauma, it could fight in his stead.

As for the characteristics of Little Butterfly, Li Ang was also conducting further research.

What Little Butterfly could unleash was not merely the existing characteristics of the battle armor, but the ability to add new ones; after all, normal battle armor did not include a helmet.

Yet, what Li Ang had was not just a complete set of battle armor, but a complete suit of armor.

This armor wrapped him completely from head to toe, providing a significant increase in both defensive capabilities and strength across all aspects.

Especially regarding defense, Li Ang prepared to test whether he could have Little Butterfly absorb some special metals to enhance its own mental defense.

Li Ang's current physical strength was off the charts, and his mental strength was actually not bad either.

It was just that compared to his physical strength, there was still a certain gap.

At this moment, Li Ang stood calmly at the school gate in Eastsea City.

He was mainly waiting for Uncle Li today.

Ever since he returned last time and didn't see Uncle Li, Ming Yue had told him that Uncle Li had gone on a trip to Shrek City and would be gone for a long time.

Therefore, he could only contact Uncle Li through a Soul Tool.

Today, Uncle Li told him that he had returned to Eastsea City.

While he was ostensibly meeting Uncle Li today, in reality, he was going to see his other cheap master.

A red vehicle slowly pulled up to the school gate in Eastsea City.

Li Ang glanced at the vehicle and saw Mu Ye sitting calmly in the back seat.

Uncle Li was not in the vehicle.

Mu Ye's gaze scrutinized his newly accepted direct disciple, and he raised his hand, gently tapping Li Ang's body.

A terrifying amount of power condensed at the point of contact.

However, when this tap landed on Li Ang's body, it only caused his skin to recoil slightly; it didn't even pierce a hole.

Seeing this, Mu Ye's eyes twitched, and his calm face carried a hint of surprise.

"Good lad, to think you have mastered the compression of power to such an extent; this is something I did not expect."

Mu Ye said, his face still showing some astonishment.

He raised his hand slightly, and four white jade bottles appeared in his palm.

"Inside these is a medicinal pill called the Bone Tempering Pill, a specialty of my Body Sect."

"They are all refined from a combination of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs, and they have great benefits for tempering the body."

After Mu Ye finished speaking, he handed the pills to Li Ang.

After Li Ang took the pills, Mu Ye placed his hand on his shoulder.

A vast, abyss-like soul power surged into him, beginning to inspect Li Ang's body.

At this moment, Li Ang's entire body was like a monster held in check by restraints.

His muscles were already incredibly massive, yet he did not possess the body of a god to bear such power.

Therefore, if Li Ang were to fully release his physique right now, he would transform into a terrifying monster of unimaginable proportions.

However, because of the restraints, he was forcibly containing his own muscles with his physical body, which was why he appeared exceptionally normal.

Yet, both Uncle Li and Mu Ye understood that this state was not a good thing for Li Ang.

Although Li Ang's current power was terrifying to the extreme, only in his true human form—or rather, by maintaining his original form—could he fully unleash the terrifying explosive power possessed by his muscles.

And this was a state Li Ang could not yet achieve.

However, because of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis template, Li Ang's physical body was also constantly being tempered.

In addition to the secret techniques of the Body Sect, by utilizing the Geo Archon Rex Lapis template, Li Ang's physical body was also progressing toward that of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis.

But, the distance to a physique comparable to a god—one capable of overturning mountains and seas, or even destroying the world—was ultimately too vast; it was simply not in the same league.

Under these circumstances, Li Ang could only slowly improve himself to ensure that his physical body would not collapse.

Then, he continuously restricted his own muscles, forcing them to undergo tempering.

Under these circumstances, the Bone Tempering Pill was far too important for Li Ang, so important that it was beyond imagination.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing the pills."

Li Ang's tone carried a rare hint of respect.

These pills might not mean much to the four great organizations, but for the Body Sect, they were absolute treasures kept at the bottom of the chest.

However, these pills were not enough for Li Ang.

These four bottles of Bone Tempering Pill could at most temper one-third of his body; the other parts still required constant tempering.

Thinking of this, Li Ang slightly raised his hand, and a wooden box appeared in his palm—the very same one Leng Yaozhu had given him before she left two months ago.

Li Ang opened the wooden box to reveal three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs, all intended to boost one's vitality.

Yet, these were of no use to him.

After all, his current soul power and the nourishment he had received were already more than sufficient.

In this situation, it would be better to give these three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs to Mu Ye, let Mu Ye sell them in exchange for the resources he needed, and then help him refine a new batch of Bone Tempering Pill.

Seeing what Li Ang was handing over, Mu Ye was stunned for a moment before slowly opening the box.

Looking at the three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs neatly arranged inside, a hint of shock appeared in Mu Ye's eyes, followed by a moment of silence.

The Body Sect had saved for decades, and he, a Super Douluo, had even emptied his own savings just to scrape together two ten-thousand-year spirit herbs to refine those four bottles of Bone Tempering Pill.

Yet, Leng Yaozhu had casually produced three spirit herbs.

The value of each of these three spirit herbs was higher than the ten-thousand-year spirit herbs they needed to refine the Bone Tempering Pill.

These three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs could easily be traded for four or even five of the ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit herbs they required to refine more Bone Tempering Pill.

Looking at the box in his hands, even though Li Ang said nothing, Mu Ye understood his intention.

He sighed silently.

"Good lad, it was the right choice to let you stay at the Spirit Pagoda."

"The Body Sect simply couldn't produce these kinds of resources; only a top-tier organization like that could casually bring out three ten-thousand-year spirit herbs."

"You should continue your studies here."

"In a month at most, I can refine another eight to ten bottles of Bone Tempering Pill, and I will have your senior brother bring them to you then."

"At that time, your senior brother will stay here to provide you with protection."
