Authority of World-Burden in the Middle, Reason and Strife on Either Side?

Bai Yuan walked past her and said, "I call it, Black Calamity Battle Armor."

Leng Yaozhu stared at the black-clad figure, the vertical lines between her brows deepened.

Black Calamity Battle Armor?

She had never heard him mention it.

As his teacher, she didn't even know when he had acquired such a thing.

"Your Battle Armor... Black Calamity?"

Leng Yaozhu's voice carried an unusual hint of solemnity.

"The aura of this Battle Armor... isn't very good."

Leng Yaozhu's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"There is a Will of Destruction at play."

It seems to be Spirit-Refinement level Battle Armor? Doesn't require active wearing?

Bai Yuan turned around, a slight smile curving his lips:

"It's an inherent effect of the Core Flame Martial Soul."

Leng Yaozhu remained silent for a moment.

Such a wondrous Martial Soul, it actually has this effect.

Her gaze lingered on Bai Yuan for a moment before shifting away.

Since it was his secret, she didn't want to ask too much, but she couldn't help but try.

"Put it on, let me see."

Bai Yuan closed his eyes.

Black armor emerged from the void.

It covered his arms, shoulders, chest, waist, abdomen, and legs.

Dark red patterns were faintly visible deep within the folds of the clothing.

The mask fit his face perfectly, obscuring his eyebrows and eyes, revealing only his sharply defined jawline.

He stood there, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Leng Yaozhu's pupils contracted slightly, and then the corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile.

"This aura! Hahaha, not bad, not bad at all."

She was certain that the Soul Power boost provided by this Battle Armor was substantial.

Bai Yuan's aura changed drastically; he was like a drawn sword, its sharpness fully revealed.

This Battle Armor is extremely well-suited to his Martial Soul.

The dark red patterns flowing on it were exactly the same as the golden-black flames in his Core Flame.

The aura emanating from it was of the same origin as the Power of Destruction within him.

It was as if this Battle Armor wasn't worn on his body, but rather grew out of his body, becoming a part of his power.

Bai Yuan opened his eyes, looked down at his black Black Robe, clenched his fists and then relaxed them.

"Teacher, how is it?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at him, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

This Battle Armor is of a high grade; in her opinion, it's at least Battle Armor that can continuously improve.

Very rare!

That child is only level 40, yet he can wield this level of Battle Armor; the quality of his Martial Soul is even higher than she expected.

Moreover, the fit between this Battle Armor and his body was better than any other Battle Armor Master she had ever seen.

It doesn't look like something you wear; it grows out of you.

"Good."

Leng Yaozhu's voice returned to its usual calm, but her eyes held a hint of satisfaction that she couldn't hide.

"This Battle Armor suits you very well."

"With this, your chances of making it onto the Genius Ranking will be much greater."

Bai Yuan retracted his Battle Armor, the black armor slipping off his body to reveal a white training uniform underneath.

He looked at Leng Yaozhu, "Teacher, I'll go train now."

Leng Yaozhu nodded.

Bai Yuan walked past her, his footsteps fading into the distance in the corridor.

Leng Yaozhu stood by the window, looking at the gray skyline of the Spirit Pagoda outside, the light reflected in her amber eyes.

That child always surprised her with new surprises, just when she thought she had seen through him.

Leng Yaozhu withdrew her gaze and turned to walk towards her office.

She still has a lot to deal with, and her old rivals are waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

But she wasn't in a hurry; she waited for the child to reach the top of the Genius Ranking.

Once those who question the Leng Family shut up, and once the Leng Family's status in the Spirit Pagoda rises to another level.

She'll have plenty of time to deal with those clowns later.

She will make people know the consequences of betraying the Leng Family!

After training, I returned to my room.

Bai Yuan then saw that the table was filled with all sorts of delicacies.

Each dish, made with rare ingredients, exudes a warm and profound life force.

He figured that in order to keep up with the physical demands and training...

The teacher must have collected a lot of good stuff during his time at Shrek.

This is hardly dinner; it's as if Leng Yaozhu has brought the treasure trove of the Spirit Pagoda to the dining table!

He recognized several of them.

First course: Red Blood Fish

Red Blood Fish only live in the Far North Ice Sea.

Legend has it that this fish takes a hundred years to grow to the size of a palm.

The meat contains extremely pure life energy.

It can nourish the body and repair injuries and illnesses.

The price of a Red Blood Fish on the market.

That's enough to bankrupt an ordinary Soul Master.

Second dish: Stewed Snow Toad with Purple Jade Marrow

Purple Jade Marrow is produced from mineral veins deep underground in the Star Dou Forest.

It contains a rich earth element and life energy.

Snow Toad are spiritual creatures that grow in icy pools.

Legend has it that long-term consumption can elevate Soul Master's physique to a higher level.

Finally, there was a pot of spiritual liquid.

The elixir was ice-blue in color.

If you bring it close, you'll smell a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.

Ten-Thousand Year Cold Spring Brew, using the Ice Marrow from the depths of the Ten-Thousand Year Cold Spring in the Far North as its base.

It is brewed with dozens of unique spiritual fruits.

This spiritual liquid can greatly enhance Soul Master's spiritual power ceiling.

Most importantly, it can make the Sea of Consciousness more stable when Soul Master breaks through a bottleneck.

He took a deep breath, said nothing, and sat down to eat.

These ingredients melt in your mouth, and a warm current slides down your throat into your stomach.

He didn't feel full, not even a little bit.

Bai Yuan frowned slightly, calmed his mind, and focused his consciousness inward to examine his own body.

Deep within, the emerald green sapling was swaying gently.

It is slowly absorbing that warm energy.

With each bite, a faint golden halo appears on the leaf.

His Soul Power began to rise under the nourishment of this energy.

Two levels.

Bai Yuan exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling as if he had been soaked in warm water.

Every muscle and every bone felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

I feel my skills are steadily improving!

Bai Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his body.

The Core Flame burned quietly in the darkness, its golden and black flames intertwining and dancing like two eternally burning stars.

He took a deep breath, his mind reaching the two long-dormant powers deep within the Core Flame.

Reason, and Strife.

Golden specks of light coalesced in the void, transforming into intricate runes, each one articulating truth, logic, and reasoning.

They are the foundation of Reason.

On the other side, dark golden light surged from the void, transforming into sharp battle marks.

The Law of Strife slowly rose from the light, and two diametrically opposed forces unfolded in his consciousness.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Bai Yuan's forehead.

Reason and Strife clashed wildly within him, repelling, tearing, and devouring each other.

At this moment, the Sea of Consciousness was stirred up by turbulent waves.

He gritted his teeth and released the Life Force of the Emerald Sapling within his body.

The sapling's leaves swayed gently, and a vibrant green light emanated from within.

It gently enveloped those two violent forces.

The Reason golden runes gradually stabilized under the soothing influence of the Life Force.

The dark gold battle scars of Strife no longer throbbed violently.

Bai Yuan let out a long breath.

They can coexist, but they cannot merge, at least not now.

His thoughts once again penetrated the Core Flame, touching that most core power.

To Authority of World-Burden.

He inherited it from this Core Flame.

The power belonged to Xiao Bai, and also to him.

Reason is on the left, Strife is on the right, World Burden is in the middle.

The three beams of light each occupied a corner of his consciousness space, neither invading nor merging with each other.

Bai Yuan looked at the three beams of light, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

Although they cannot merge, they can at least coexist peacefully.

That's enough; he has plenty of time to figure out how to make them work better for him.

Bai Yuan opened his eyes, put away the Core Flame, got up from the bed, and opened the window.

He gazed at the myriad lights of homes and took a deep breath.

His strength is steadily increasing; he holds the three powers of Reason, Strife, and World Burden; the Tree of Life is rooted within him; and four Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring rotate beneath his feet.

He's got the top spot on the Genius Ranking.

As for that "Plane Spirit," he wanted to see if he could squeeze some wool out of it.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and closed the window.

One day, he will make the Tree of Life grow into a towering tree.

Let the Core Flame ignite the Twelve Law Patterns.

By then, let alone being number one on the Genius Ranking.

Even the entire Douluo Plane couldn't stop him.
