To Counter the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Battle Armor Was Developed

[After successfully obtaining his second soul ring, Ye Tianyun continued to focus his efforts on cultivation, while also beginning to research methods to counter the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his spare time.]

[He had already marked Tang San as an enemy. With that Little Trash being so arrogant, how could Ye Tianyun let him off? He had made up his mind to teach the Little Trash a lesson.]

Feng Xiaotian truly couldn't help but laugh.

The Live Broadcast Room definitely held a grudge against Tang San; calling him "Little Trash" over and over showed it truly didn't hold Tang San in any regard.

Tang San himself grew anxious, pointing at the screen and turning to ask those around him:

"Have I offended the Live Broadcast Room? This place is definitely doing it on purpose. It calls everyone else by their names, but when it comes to me, it's just 'Little Trash'."

Xiao Wu had long been dissatisfied as well, nodding in agreement:

"That's right, how can it say that about Third Brother? What 'Little Trash'?"

The Shrek Seven Devils felt very awkward, unsure if they should help Tang San.

They also felt Tang San had been a bit excessive; he actually looked down on each of them equally, which was quite demoralizing.

Therefore, they didn't really want to help Tang San.

The Live Broadcast Room continued.

[After conducting research, Ye Tianyun ultimately decided to develop Soul Power Armor—abbreviated as Battle Armor—to defend against the attacks of Tang San's Godly Zhuge Crossbow.]

Upon hearing this, Tang San pondered for a moment before finally nodding in spite of himself:

"If it's armor, as long as it's sturdy enough, it might actually be useful."

After all, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow only fired bolts; while they were sharp enough to cut through metal and jade, they weren't invincible.

Tang San felt a strange sense of unease. Could Ye Tianyun have actually succeeded in his research?

Within the crowd, Ning Fengzhi stroked his chin in thought and nodded:

"Armor makes sense. Now that everyone has the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, perhaps anyone could manufacture a Godly Zhuge Crossbow; we need armor."

This was the very reason why ancient times prohibited armor but not blades—armor was far more critical.

[Once Ye Tianyun made up his mind, he began his research. Using the gold coins from the Soul Tools he had scavenged, he purchased a blacksmith shop to serve as his laboratory.]

[During his research, Ye Tianyun first developed a set of armor with extremely high defensive capabilities, but this was definitely not what he needed. He required Battle Armor, not just ordinary armor.]

[Finally, after much effort, Ye Tianyun successfully created the elementary version of the Battle Armor.]

In the footage, Ye Tianyun stood before a suit of armor emitting a flowing light, his eyes gleaming with an unusual brilliance.

He gently stroked the metallic surface, sighing with heartfelt emotion:

"I have finally created the Battle Armor. With its help, even if Tang San were here now, I could trample him beneath my feet."

Don't ask why Tang San is always mentioned; after all, Tang San is the protagonist, the Tang Buddha of the Douluo Continent. Perhaps this Douluo Continent could just as well be surnamed Ye.

After all, it wasn't as if there hadn't been protagonists surnamed Ye before—take Ye Liangchen, for example.

On the arena stage, Tang San, who was watching the broadcast, had his face turn completely black. The man actually wanted to trample him underfoot.

Tang San couldn't help but curse:

"The me in that other world is truly a waste. If it were me, how impressive could a mere Ye Tianyun be? He's only at level twenty. Even with an extra piece of Battle Armor, I could defeat him without even using the Godly Zhuge Crossbow."

In the Parallel Timeline, the Asura God saw the Battle Armor and bowed again to flatter him:

"As expected of the Heavenly Emperor, to have researched Battle Armor at such a young age—wisdom and strength truly coexist."

The God of Destruction inwardly despised the Asura God for sucking up again, but he couldn't deny that Ye Tianyun was an absolute genius.

The Battle Armor and Soul Tools of today had been researched to their absolute limit by Ye Tianyun, to the point where they were even capable of slaying gods.

Of course, that meant defeating the versions of them from the past.

Ye Tianyun gave a hearty laugh:

"It's alright. It took a lot of effort to research it back then, and this is only elementary Battle Armor; it's not that powerful."

Indeed, the elementary Battle Armor was not strong—it couldn't even compare to One-Word Battle Armor—and could only be considered a semi-finished product.

In the footage, Ye Tianyun donned the Battle Armor and activated the Amplification Array Patterns within.

He could feel his soul power increasing, yet he couldn't help but frown, dissatisfied:

"It is only elementary Battle Armor after all. This won't do; it only increases my soul power by ten levels. By that calculation, I'd only be two or three levels higher than Tang San. If I don't have a ninety-eight percent chance of winning, can you even call that a sure victory?"

He needed at least a twenty-level increase to crush Tang San thoroughly.

The future One-Word Battle Armor could increase soul power by twenty levels, but this elementary version fell short.

The voice of the Live Broadcast Room rang out once more.

[Although Ye Tianyun successfully researched the Battle Armor, it was ultimately lacking; it could only amplify soul power by ten levels and improve defense, which did not satisfy him.]

Silence!

The entire Douluo Continent fell deathly quiet.

No, increasing Soul Power by ten levels—this is far superior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's martial soul, yet Ye Tianyun is still unsatisfied.

If they could increase their Soul Power by ten levels, it would be equivalent to crossing a major realm; what could they possibly be dissatisfied with?

Feng Xiaotian sighed with heartfelt emotion:

"If only I had a Battle Armor. An increase of ten levels of Soul Power—even the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda can't compare to that."

Although this was the truth, Ning Rongrong, standing nearby, felt very uncomfortable hearing it.

Pouting, she retorted stubbornly:

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is also very excellent."

Having said that, Ning Rongrong couldn't continue, because the amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda truly couldn't compare to the Battle Armor.

Increasing it by ten levels all at once—even if you gave her a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, she truly couldn't achieve that.

Martial Soul Hall.

Bibi Dong was shocked once again in her heart. An increase of ten levels of Soul Power—if the entire Martial Soul Hall were fully equipped with this, it could significantly increase the combat power of the Martial Soul Hall.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong looked at the people below, her tone resonant and powerful:

"Our Martial Soul Hall needs not only Soul Tools but also Battle Armor. Who among you can research this?"

The Platinum Bishops lowered their heads one after another, and the elders also remained silent.

This was simply too difficult for them; if they had such ability, they would have created it long ago.

But in their hearts, they were thinking that they must spend funds to focus on researching Battle Armor, as Battle Armor was even more excellent than Lotus Justice.

"That's enough, step up the research."

Bibi Dong waved her hand impatiently.

Geniuses are common, but Ye Tianyun is not, so creating Battle Armor is truly not easy.

On the competition grounds.

Xiao Wu could hear the praises from those around her, and she felt very uneasy.

How could her Third Brother possibly lose to Ye Tianyun?

She simply grabbed Tang San's shoulders and smiled:

"Third Brother, I believe that you will definitely be able to research Battle Armor, including those so-called Soul Tools. It's just that you haven't researched them before and lacked direction."

How could Tang San lose face in front of his girl? Naturally, he held his head high and chest out, his tone full of confidence:

"Rest assured, after the competition ends, I will definitely research Battle Armor. I will never let everyone down, and by then, I will gift each of you a set of Battle Armor."
