Standardized One-Word Battle Armor

Even among Standardized One-Word Battle Armor, those crafted from Spirit Alloy are on an entirely different level than the ordinary variety.

On the Douluo Continent, many hierarchical evaluations for soul masters utilize the same color-coded system as soul rings.

From lowest to highest, these are white, yellow, purple, black, and red, with gold occasionally added at the very top.

Most people prioritize accumulating experience when crafting their first set of battle armor.

After all, under normal circumstances, Two-Word Battle Armor must be crafted from scratch.

Consequently, most One-Word Battle Armor is rated at the white or yellow level, with purple being exceptionally rare.

Purple is also considered the absolute limit for One-Word Battle Armor.

This is because the metal used for One-Word Battle Armor is typically limited to Thousand Refinement quality.

Only by successfully crafting One-Word Battle Armor with Spirit Alloy is it possible to reach a higher tier.

In the original work, the One-Word Battle Armor of Tang Wulin was forged entirely from Spirit Alloy achieved through over eighty-five percent Fusion Forging.

That was how the rare black-level evaluation for One-Word Battle Armor came to be.

Yet, the battle armor of Mu Han was even more impressive, boasting a red-level evaluation.

It is difficult to imagine what standard he will reach when he eventually crafts his Two-Word or even Three-Word Battle Armor.

Mu Han is not the type of person who enjoys flaunting his strength.

However, he still went to the Spirit Pagoda for testing and even paid to have the results broadcast throughout the entire soul master world.

Because this was, in essence, an advertisement.

Mu Han's One-Word Battle Armor is, without a doubt, the strongest in history.

The product he intends to launch on behalf of the Fatui is the "Mass-Produced Spirit Alloy One-Word Battle Armor."

This item is effectively a simplified version of the battle armor used by the test subjects of the Fatui.

While its raw power is slightly lower, it remains a genuine One-Word Battle Armor crafted from Spirit Alloy.

Any soul master with the cultivation of a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor and an instrument-type martial soul can utilize it.

Since Mu Han founded the Fatui, there had been virtually no movement from the organization.

At the very least, the Fatui had taken no overt actions.

The last time Mu Han nearly blew up Shrek City, that was a personal matter and had nothing to do with the Fatui.

But they remained silent only to stun the world; the Fatui's first product is a revolutionary, era-defining creation.

Everyone knows that a Battle Armor Master is the strongest, yet very few choose to walk that path.

As long as one has the money, they can hire the best people to design, forge, and craft their gear.

However, battle armor requires the user to participate in the crafting process themselves.

One must find the path that suits them best to create armor that feels like an extension of their own body.

Simply put, every Battle Armor Master must delve into a secondary profession.

Yet, if one spends too much effort on a secondary profession, it inevitably hinders the cultivation of their martial soul.

In that regard, it is often better to become a Mecha Master.

After all, mechas can be incredibly powerful, and their massive size allows for a greater variety of options.

But if given the choice, wouldn't being a Battle Armor Master be more advantageous?

However, the "Standardized One-Word Battle Armor" launched by the Fatui can be purchased directly with money, just like a mecha.

Furthermore, it is crafted from Spirit Alloy.

One must realize that Spirit Alloy One-Word Battle Armor can be upgraded directly.

It does not need to be remade; one only needs to add new metal to reach a higher-grade alloy, then redesign and refine it.

Compared to crafting a set of Two-Word Battle Armor from scratch, this is much easier and possesses greater potential.

Therefore, Spirit Alloy One-Word Battle Armor is practically the future.

Moreover, because the user does not participate in the crafting of the Fatui's standardized armor, they are not required to participate in the crafting process during future upgrades either.

And because the One-Word Battle Armor is forged from Spirit Alloy, it has already achieved a level of fusion with the soul master.

When the time comes to upgrade to Two-Word Battle Armor, many of the usual restrictions are bypassed.

Normally, when crafting Two-Word Battle Armor, the person performing the other steps cannot have a cultivation level exceeding the Battle Armor Master by more than one ring.

They cannot even be more than three years older than the Battle Armor Master!

But for the standardized One-Word Battle Armor, none of these troubles exist.

In other words, as long as there is sufficient funding, one can theoretically reach the level of Two-Word, Three-Word, or even Four-Word Battle Armor!

Mu Han does not like to show off his strength, but he is quite happy to change the soul master world.

Just as the Beast Soul Weaponization Project changed the landscape of the soul master world, so too will this.

The Standardized One-Word Battle Armor he introduced this time had likewise altered the landscape of the soul master world.

Ten thousand years ago, Soul Tools shook the status of soul masters.

Especially after entering the era of mecha, the status of soul masters slid even further.

It was not until the emergence of the Battle Armor Master that soul masters were able to remain at the pinnacle.

This was because Soul Tools could be used by ordinary people.

Mecha could also be operated by ordinary people.

Yet, Battle Armor Masters were all powerhouses, the elite among soul masters.

But now, Mu Han had dragged the Battle Armor Master down from their pedestal.

Although he could not enable ordinary people to become Battle Armor Masters, he could allow many who had never studied a secondary profession to become one.

This directly led to a significant decline in the status of Battle Armor Masters.

In particular, many soul masters who had relied on hard work to become One-Word Battle Armor Masters were completely dumbfounded at this moment.

They had painstakingly crafted their One-Word Battle Armor.

Yet Mu Han had simply opened a shortcut, allowing battle armor to be bought with money just like mecha?

Three-Word or even Four-Word armor might not be possible.

After all, the number of Saint Craftsmen and Divine Craftsmen was simply too small.

There was only one Divine Craftsman in total.

And there were only so many Saint Craftsmen.

But finding enough Grandmaster level blacksmiths was still very easy.

Moreover, those capable of Spirit Forging were not necessarily just Grandmasters; Saint Craftsmen could also perform Spirit Forging.

After all, many Saint Craftsmen were not particularly willing to perform Soul Forging for others.

Because every piece of Soul Forging metal was like their own child.

Even if those Saint Craftsmen were truly short on money, they would usually obtain profits through Spirit Forging.

Saint Craftsmen usually only performed Soul Forging when they needed specific items.

If they wanted to make money, Spirit Forging was sufficient.

Although it was said that the Spirit Forging metal used for ordinary Two-Word Battle Armor required that the gap between the blacksmith and the Battle Armor Master not be too large, they were not the only ones who wanted Spirit Forging metal.

For high-level Mecha Masters, their mecha were their second lives.

To become a high-level Mecha Master, one needed not only sufficient personal strength but also wealth.

Even Purple-Grade Mecha rarely used Thousand Refinement metal in their construction.

Many Black-Grade Mecha were merely crafted using Thousand Refinement metal.

The goal of many Mecha Masters was to one day be able to replace all their mecha components with the Spirit Forging level.

Therefore, there was no shortage of a market for Spirit Forging metal.

Even if those Saint Craftsmen entered the fray, they still could not satisfy the market demand, so naturally, the prices would not be driven down.

What's more, the Standardized One-Word Battle Armor launched by the Fatui would inevitably cause the price of Spirit Forging metal to skyrocket.

Mu Han had hoarded a massive amount of Spirit Forging metal over the past few years, and now he was gradually releasing it all into the market.

In his previous life, someone once said that selling products didn't make much money, but the stock of the company selling the products could appreciate in value.

Mu Han was doing much the same now.

There wasn't much profit in the Standardized One-Word Battle Armor; he was relying on thin margins and high volume.

But by taking the opportunity to dump a large amount of Spirit Forging metal, he could be said to have made a fortune.

This was true "profiteering" and "wealth accumulation"!
