"Make Battle Armor directly?" Gu Yue's words made Zheng Yiran's expression shift slightly.
Mu Han's words made her even more surprised. "Ordinary One-Word Battle Armor is useless."
"We'll use Spirit Alloy to make One-Word Battle Armor directly."
With their current cultivation, becoming One-Word Battle Armor Masters was already their limit, so Thousand Refinement would be enough.
They could use Thousand-Refined Spirit Alloy to forge their One-Word Battle Armor,
then fuse other metals with the Spirit Alloy in the future and continue advancing it through Spirit Forging.
This was an absolutely extravagant approach, but it was clear that it was the right path.
Two-Word Battle Armor could fuse with its wearer's body.
One-Word Battle Armor that had been nurtured over time would surely advance better than a newly forged set of Two-Word Battle Armor.
"Spirit Alloy? What's the fusion rate? What's the success rate?" Zheng Yiran asked, deliberately lowering her voice.
The three of them were all Mecha Designers as their secondary profession.
So all they had to do was piece together their designs.
They could even work together, so there wouldn't be much of a problem with the designs.
But Mu Han would have to handle the forging and crafting.
The crafting alone was already very difficult.
Processing Spirit Alloy was completely different from processing ordinary Thousand-Refined metal.
Mechas could be made roughly, as long as their internal Core Arrays worked properly.
But Battle Armor was divided into many parts, and each part had its own Core Array.
Carving Spirit Alloy was much harder than carving ordinary Thousand-Refined metal.
Yet the hardest part was fusing Spirit Alloy.
Even if Mu Han could forge Spirit Alloy, could he guarantee the fusion rate? Could he guarantee the success rate?
That would probably require a large amount of rare metals.
Mu Han glanced at her and smiled. "One hundred percent."
"The fusion rate?" Zheng Yiran thought he meant the success rate of Fusion Forging.
"That's one hundred percent too." Mu Han smiled faintly. "My Martial Soul is special."
"The success rate and fusion rate of Fusion Forging are both one hundred percent."
Even if the formula was wrong, he could still fuse several kinds of rare metals together.
He just couldn't guarantee the result.
But he could still guarantee a one-hundred-percent fusion rate.
That was the overbearing power of his Martial Soul, Gold-Water Mutual Containment!
"Processing won't be a problem either. Give me your designs, and I can finish them that same day."
If this had been three years ago, he wouldn't have dared to make such a promise.
Although his forging skills hadn't improved at all over the past three years,
he had taken part in making Three-Word Battle Armor.
He still couldn't make a complete set of Three-Word Battle Armor by himself.
But making Two-Word Battle Armor was already no problem.
As for One-Word Battle Armor, it was child's play. So what if it used Spirit Alloy?
Besides, he had forged that Spirit Alloy himself. Reworking it would be easy.
Xu Xiaoyan gasped. "Good heavens! Does that mean you can even forge Two-Word Battle Armor for us?"
Mu Han shook his head. "We're still lacking something. The main problem is that your cultivation isn't high enough."
"Normally, a complete set of One-Word Battle Armor requires the cultivation of a Five-Ring Soul King."
"One-Word Battle Armor made with Spirit Alloy places less strain on the body, but it still requires a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor."
"As for Two-Word Battle Armor, that goes without saying. It requires the cultivation of a Six-Ring Soul Emperor."
"Besides, Two-Word Battle Armor is supposed to be fused with its wearer, so making it with Spirit Alloy won't help."
"Unless you do what we're doing and improve your One-Word Battle Armor bit by bit, making it more and more compatible with you."
"Even so, you'd still need the cultivation of a Five-Ring Soul King."
"So we shouldn't aim too high. We should focus on making our One-Word Battle Armor well."
"But I plan to fuse four kinds of metal for our One-Word Battle Armor, making it far superior to armor at the same level."
"On top of that, we can solidify a Soul Skill that isn't restricted by our Martial Souls."
Solidifying a Soul Skill meant using a special Core Array in Battle Armor to solidify any Soul Skill within it.
The power of a Soul Skill depended on the Soul Master's cultivation and the Battle Armor itself.
In the original story, Tang Wulin had successfully solidified a Soul Skill when he wore Two-Word Battle Armor.
But now Mu Han was already trying to do the same with One-Word Battle Armor.
"I want to solidify that Self-Destruct Truck ability you just used!" Zheng Yiran said immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
Mu Han couldn't help laughing. "In your dreams. That's a Self-Created Soul Skill. How can it be solidified without a Soul Ring to support it?"
"The more kinds of metal in Spirit Alloy, the greater its carrying capacity."
"Spirit Alloy made by fusing four kinds of metal should be able to solidify Soul Skills below the hundred-thousand-year level."
"But it's best to choose a Soul Skill that meshes with your own abilities. That way, the enhancement will be the greatest."
"There's no need to blindly chase after the eighth or ninth Soul Skill. In fact, a lot of the time, the first Soul Skill is the most practical."
For most Titled Douluo, the ninth Soul Skill might be their strongest.
But it also consumed the most energy.
By contrast, the first Soul Skill might seem ordinary, yet it was often the most frequently used and the most practical.
Besides, Mu Han knew from reading the original story that some top experts had powerful first Soul Skills too.
He currently had several Soul Skills in mind for solidification.
His first choice was Affectionate Douluo Zang Xin of the Tang Sect and his first Soul Skill, "Once."
It stirred the purest feelings deep within the heart, bringing the emotional shock of a first love, and returned all actions to one second earlier.
Back then, he had relied on this Soul Skill to enter the Tang Sect's inner court and receive careful cultivation at Douluo Hall.
His second choice was the first Soul Skill of Purgatory Douluo Qiangu Qingfeng of the Spirit Pagoda: Dark Night Assassin Strike!
This Soul Skill briefly blinded an opponent's senses.
Not their vision, but their mind: it made them feel as if everything around them had fallen into darkness.
These were the two Soul Skills Mu Han had set his sights on.
But because of the Beast Soul Weaponization Project, his relationship with both major forces had been strained lately.
It wouldn't be easy to get their help.
The technique for solidifying Soul Skills was excellent, but it required the Soul Master who possessed the skill to cooperate fully.
With Mu Han's forging skills, even inner-court disciples had to beg him for help.
After all, he was arguably the strongest blacksmith below level seven.
The strongest Grandmaster, in other words.
A Saint Craftsman was someone who could forge Three-Word Battle Armor.
Two-Word Battle Armor used Spirit-Forged Metal.
And most of it was ordinary Spirit Forging. Only a very few people could use Spirit-Forged Spirit Alloy.
Mu Han could not only forge Spirit Alloy, but also achieve a fusion rate of one hundred percent.
If he hadn't already made that offer, never mind the One-Word Battle Armor Masters hoping to advance to Two-Word Battle Armor Masters—
even those who already had Two-Word Battle Armor would want Mu Han to help upgrade theirs.
What was the big deal about imprinting a Soul Skill?
It was just a pity that Mu Han didn't think much of their Soul Skills.
