"Mu Han, you bastard!" Wu Sidu clutched the quilt to cover her exposed skin, her face filled with fury and shame.

Last night, they had climbed to the peak together, yet today he turned around and acted as if he didn't know her!

Wu Sidu had only acted on a whim last night.

But at this moment, she suddenly realized something.

She was different from Gu Yue and the others.

The secondary professions of Gu Yue and the others were Mecha Design, which only required them to produce blueprints.

After all, there wasn't much difference in design between Standardized Battle Armor made of ordinary metal and that made of Spirit Alloy.

However, Wu Sidu was a Cultivator, and her Mecha Manufacturing mostly relied on herself.

A Mecha Repairer could only repair Battle Armor upon reaching level six or higher; it was definitely a profession that required a late bloomer.

Not to mention the Spirit Alloy with one hundred percent compatibility.

Secondary processing of high-compatibility Spirit Alloy was no easy task.

As a result, when Mu Han said "I can't help you," Wu Sidu was instantly incensed.

Yet, she couldn't do anything about Mu Han.

She had thought she could use this opportunity to conquer this guy, but she never expected to be the one manipulated by him instead.

A moment later, she shed her usual cold and arrogant demeanor, tugged at the quilt, and said seductively, "Class monitor."

Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a hint of innocence.

Mu Han stopped teasing her. "I can handle the processing."

"I will process the metal into a semi-finished state, and you can just make a few finishing touches when the time comes."

"Since I am the one doing the forging, my secondary processing won't have any negative impact on the metal."

"At the very least, it won't affect your compatibility."

In reality, the reason one had to participate in the production was not just for personal compatibility.

The most important thing was not to let others help too much.

A Mecha Designer could design the Battle Armor that best suited themselves.

The same applied to Forgers, Manufacturers, and Repairers; they had to infuse their own soul power into the prototype of the Battle Armor during the participation process.

If everything were completed by others, the compatibility of that set of Battle Armor would be ruined.

Because Mu Han had completed both the forging and the repairing alone, the Battle Armor contained only his soul power.

As long as he held back at the end and didn't complete the final step of the Battle Armor, it would remain a semi-finished product.

At such a stage, anyone could actually become that "Mecha Manufacturer."

In fact, Wu Sidu was not the first person to do this.

The test subjects of Mu Han's "Beast Soul Weaponization" opportunities were able to advance from level 29 Soul Grand Master to the seven-ring Soul Saint cultivation within three years for several reasons.

First, it was due to the successive secondary awakenings of their martial souls.

Second, it was because their second soul spirits were life-bound soul spirits.

Third, it was due to the empowerment from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As the Spirit Ascension Platform continuously upgraded their life-bound soul spirits, the soul masters' cultivation also steadily increased.

When a soul spirit reached the ten-thousand-year level, it required the condensation of a Soul Core.

The Soul Core condensed by a life-bound soul spirit could also be used by the soul master.

Therefore, their Soul Cores were actually condensed by their life-bound soul spirits through the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As for the fourth point, it was the Battle Armor.

Mu Han had provided each of them with Battle Armor.

These people had never studied a secondary profession related to Battle Armor.

After all, they were originally just level 29 Soul Grand Masters.

But Mu Han didn't need them to know how.

Mu Han had found someone to design a set of "Standardized Battle Armor."

Simply put, it didn't need to be strengthened according to their own martial souls.

It was enough to just amplify their own strength.

The Battle Armor for all the test subjects was identical.

And after Mu Han crafted the Battle Armor into a semi-finished state, he let these people perform the final finishing touches.

In reality, it was just a matter of finding a carving knife and tracing over all the core arrays on those semi-finished products.

The difference between Battle Armor and mecha is that, ultimately, a mecha is an external object.

While Battle Armor is also an external object, it enhances the self to a certain extent when fused.

Just like how Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu experienced a second Martial Soul awakening after obtaining her four-word Battle Armor.

These test subjects were in the same situation.

First, the Spirit Alloy one-word Battle Armor allowed their strength to increase by a level.

Afterward, Mu Han upgraded their one-word Battle Armor to two-word Battle Armor.

Their strength once again achieved a qualitative leap.

It was precisely because of this multi-pronged approach that their cultivation was able to rise from level 29 to the seven-ring level in a short period.

With so many test subjects, Mu Han's understanding of Battle Armor could reach an even higher level.

That was why he could achieve solidified soul skills even at the one-word Battle Armor stage.

One must know that in the original work, Tang Wulin was already at the two-word Battle Armor stage when he could solidify soul skills.

And at that time, Tang Wulin was already a Saint Craftsman.

It can only be said that Mu Han's understanding of Battle Armor is stronger than that of Tang Wulin in the original work.

Let alone just Wu Sidu, even if it were all the students in the class, Mu Han was confident he could help them complete their one-word Battle Armor within a year.

And that would be one-word Battle Armor forged from Spirit Alloy.

But was it really necessary?

His relationship with Shrek Academy was not particularly good. Why should he do things without any benefit?

Otherwise, if he were truly willing, everyone in the soul master world above the four-ring level could obtain Spirit Alloy one-word Battle Armor.

However, Wu Sidu's situation was a bit troublesome.

She possesses Twin Martial Souls and even has a self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Battle Armor production might be a bit more complicated.

In the original work, Yuan'en Yehui had asked classmates to help with the design, but she was never quite satisfied.

Wu Sidu's situation would only be more troublesome.

However, designers are different from other auxiliary professions.

Forging, crafting, and repairing all require the cultivation gap to be no more than one ring and the age gap to be no more than three years.

But design is not restricted; frankly, there would be no problem even if one invited a level-nine designer to design it.

Shrek Academy does not have a level-nine blacksmith.

But there are quite a few level-nine designers.

Moreover, this is merely a one-word Battle Armor. Where would one need a level-nine designer?

After Wu Sidu joined the team, this group grew even stronger.

Mu Han could not participate in the exchange competition between the first and second years. This team was also missing a good melee fighter.

Wu Sidu could perfectly fill this vacancy.

In the exchange competition with the second years, the first years achieved a total crushing victory.

Without a monster like Yuan'en Yehui, Wu Sidu alone was enough to sweep through the second years.

Not to mention that the four people representing the first year now all possessed Spirit Alloy one-word Battle Armor.

Although it was not a complete set of Battle Armor, the effects were surprisingly good.

Many classmates and even second-year seniors wanted to join this team.

Or they wanted to ask Mu Han to help them forge one.

But what was Mu Han's status? How could he possibly waste time on them?

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the first semester of their arrival at Shrek reached its end.

The final exam was still much the same as in the original work.

But Mu Han was still unable to participate in this assessment.

After all, in this assessment, students needed to issue challenges across various major cities.

Furthermore, because time was tight and they had to solve their own food, clothing, housing, and transportation, it inevitably involved various illegal acts.
