Azure Wood Battle Armor
One month later, on the fifth floor of the Blacksmith Association, in foundry room number three.
On Ling Yi's workbench, there are pieces of bluish-green parts, which are gradually being assembled into shape by his skillful hands.
Three or four meters away, unlike the anticipation and curiosity of Tie Futu, Yang Shelly, and Ah Yin, Lou Gao's eyes were filled with reminiscence.
It seems that this was the same scene when Ling Yi first created the "Thousand Scale Armor" five years ago.
Soon, a set of azure full-body armor, similar in overall appearance to the "Thousand Scale Armor" but with significantly different details, was placed in front of them.
Putting aside the appearance, aside from the amazement in Yang Shelly and Ah Yin's eyes, what Tie Futu and Lou Gao were most concerned about was the effects and attributes of this armor, which Ling Yi named "Azure Wood Battle Armor".
The blueprints for the entire suit of armor were designed by Ling Yi, and all the parts were made by the master and apprentice together with Ling Yi, strictly replicating the design according to the specifications on the blueprints.
With Ling Yi's current forging skills, he is in no way inferior to Lou Gao and the other two. It can be said that this "Azure Wood Battle Armor" is a masterpiece that brings together the efforts of the three Divine Craftsman of the world!
Each component is forged from spiritual metal, and engraved with Ling Yi's "Azure Wood Essence-Gathering Soul Guidance Array Patterns." When all the components are assembled, they form a Soul Guidance Array array that gathers external energy, converts it into wood-attribute elemental energy, and can then activate the various attributes of the battle armor.
As Ling Yi once told Lou Gao, in the current era where Martial Soul and Soul Master dominate, the market prospects for weapon-related works are not broad. Therefore, Ling Yi gave up the impulse to manually craft powerful weapons such as the M134 and instead developed a full-body suit of armor similar to Iron Man, Kamen Rider, and Armor Hero.
In Ling Yi's design, this "Azure Wood Battle Armor" is primarily based on an amplification system, which can greatly enhance the user's strength and speed. As a secondary energy system, it can redirect more than half of the amplification effect's consumption from the user's Soul Power to the external energy of heaven and earth. Furthermore, the armor's material strength is sufficient to withstand attacks from Power Attack System Fifth Soul Skill. The Soul Guidance Array Patterns's built-in Defense System can also disperse and absorb impact kinetic energy, protecting the user inside.
Azure Soul Power emanated from Ling Yi's hand, covering the "Azure Wood Battle Armor" lying quietly on the workbench.
"Buzz—"
With a soft hum, pale golden patterns appeared on the azure armor, and the array patterns on each component began to connect.
In less than three breaths, a complete array diagram appeared before Ling Yi and the others. It flashed twice and then disappeared into the armor.
At this moment, the original metallic texture of the armor also disappeared, giving the impression that it was a model armor carved from wood.
Ling Yi's palm remained pressed against the armor, and he continued to pour his Soul Power into it without reservation. The next moment, the armor suddenly split into thirty-two parts, which, guided by the Soul Power, enveloped Ling Yi Ling Yi and instantly reassembled on his body.
Seeing this amazing scene, Lou Gao could no longer contain his excitement and stepped forward, asking urgently:
"How is it? How is it? How effective is the ' Azure Wood Battle Armor '?"
Feeling the light and airy armor on his body, Ling Yi couldn't help but smile slightly, "Perfect!"
As soon as the sound faded, Ling Yi strode to the other end of the workbench, grabbed the handle of the super-heavy claw hammer, and easily lifted it up.
"Strength."
After uttering two words, Ling Yi stomped his foot and instantly leaped out, running around in the 500-square-meter foundry room. Workbenches, furnaces, shelves, piles of metal raw materials... none of the obstacles could slow down his agile body.
"Speed."
Finally, Ling Yi arrived at a huge metal cylinder in the corner, took out five gray-black iron balls from his Storage Soul Tool, grabbed them in his hand, and detonated them.
"BOOM—!!!" *5
Five violent explosions rang out simultaneously, and sparks and broken iron nails struck the metal cylinder and Ling Yi's armor, producing a dense metallic sound like raindrops hitting banana leaves.
A dozen meters away, Lou Gao and the others, still reeling from Ling Yi's almost insane actions, saw Ling Yi glance at the armor covering his hands and chest, nod, and say:
"Defense."
Tie Futu, Lou Gao, Yang Shelly, Ah Yin: "..."
"Has he... always been this crazy?"
Tie Futu glanced at the "armored man" who was continuing to conduct various tests, and quietly asked Lou Gao beside him.
Upon hearing this, Lou Gao subconsciously turned his gaze to Yang Shelly and Ah Yin, and asked, "Did you two provoke him these past two days?"
Yang Shelly and Ah Yin: "..."
After receiving two eye rolls, Lou Gao chuckled sheepishly, subtly moving closer to his master, and said softly, "Ah Yi wasn't like this before. I remember that although he was extremely dedicated to forging and cultivating, even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, this... this... um, wild experimental style is something I've never seen before..."
"Master, you saw him over the past month or so. This kid has always been so gentle and mild-mannered, like a little lamb. Who knew he would be so fierce now..."
"But you know what, judging from the situation, we've succeeded with the ' Azure Wood Battle Armor '!"
It was indeed a success. Ling Yi took off his armor and had Lou Gao and the other three try it on. The results were quite gratifying.
Yang Shelly, Soul Elder follows the Extreme School Power Attack System, immediately transformed into Soul Ancestor with no weaknesses in six aspects, and her defensive power even reached the level of a half-step Soul Emperor.
Ah Yin, the Soul Elder of the Control System, also leaped a major realm in strength, reaching the Soul Ancestor level. Her endurance was the same as Yang Shelly's, and was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Soul Ancestor.
As for Lou Gao, who has now become Soul Emperor, and Tie Futu, who is at the Soul Saint level, after putting on the "Azure Wood Battle Armor", they directly possessed the combat power that they should have at their respective realm levels!
What does this mean?
With a set of "Azure Wood Battle Armor," even a blacksmith who is not good at fighting will become a qualified combat-type Soul Master!
Not to mention, Soul Master who originally followed the combat route can gain actual combat power that is more than a whole realm higher with the amplification of the "Azure Wood Battle Armor"!
The Weiyi pity is that when the Tie Futu unleashed its Martial Soul Avatar, more than 90% of the "Azure Wood Battle Armor" effect was immediately overridden.
In other words, when not using the Martial Soul Avatar, the "Azure Wood Battle Armor" can provide a normalized boost to the combat power of Soul Saint. However, when Soul Saint uses the Martial Soul Avatar, the effect of the "Azure Wood Battle Armor" becomes negligible.
Even so, just by looking at Lou Gao Gao's grinning face with his big white teeth, you can tell how satisfied he is with the "Azure Wood Battle Armor".
