Tang San: Battle Armor Has a 2.0 Version?

[Just as Tang San joined Shrek Academy, Ye Tianyun successfully infiltrated Canghui Academy using forged credentials.]

Canghui Academy?

Tang San was stunned upon hearing this. What a familiar academy; wasn't this the very one they had bullied on two separate occasions?

Dai Mubai also recalled Canghui Academy, his tone dripping with disdain:

"Isn't that the trash academy? From the teachers down to the students, they're all trash."

The Soul Saint Brothers felt displeased hearing this. What kind of attitude was that? What was he acting so arrogant for?

The eldest brother spoke up first:

"Indeed, a trash academy. It's a pity that in another world, Ye Tianyun became the Heavenly Emperor."

This remark left Dai Mubai speechless, not knowing how to respond.

After all, he didn't know much about that other world, but he figured Canghui Academy was likely better off than theirs.

On the other side of the audience stands.

The Dean of Canghui Academy stood up in excitement, turning to ask those around him:

"Ye Tianyun—no, Lord Heavenly Emperor Ye—is he in our academy?"

One couldn't blame him for being so agitated; the seven main students of Canghui Academy had all been crippled by Tang San, reduced to idiots.

They were in desperate need of a genius like Ye Tianyun right now.

The teachers shook their heads helplessly.

"We've never heard of him."

"Indeed, perhaps the Heavenly Emperor Ye of our timeline never joined Canghui Academy."

The Dean felt regret, and even more so, despair.

Within the crowd, Qian Renxue whispered instructions to the person beside her:

"Arrange for people to investigate Canghui Academy. You must find Ye Tianyun."

A talent like the Heavenly Emperor Ye was someone she wanted as well.

The Live Broadcast Room continued.

[After Tang San joined Shrek Academy, relying on the connection between Yu Xiaogang and Flender, he quickly rose to become the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils.]

???

Tang San felt something was off; the Live Broadcast Room was implying something else.

What did it mean by "relying on Yu Xiaogang's status" to become the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils?

He had become the spiritual leader and captain of the Shrek Seven Devils through his own strength and contributions to the team, absolutely not by pulling strings.

Facing the strange looks from those around him, Tang San stood up to explain:

"I was able to become captain through my own unremitting efforts, absolutely not by pulling strings."

Besides, whose strings would he pull? And who could even let him pull strings? People were just letting their imaginations run wild.

"That's right, Brother San really relied on his own hard work."

Xiao Wu took the initiative to stand up for Tang San.

That wasn't entirely wrong; in the later stages, he relied on his strength, but in the early stages, he truly did rely on Yu Xiaogang.

[As for Ye Tianyun, he relied on his own efforts, becoming a level 25 Soul Grand Master at the age of twelve, leaping to become the captain of the second team and a reserve member of the first team.]

"Why do I feel like the Live Broadcast Room really dislikes Brother San? It always belittles Brother San while elevating Ye Tianyun."

Ning Rongrong muttered in a low voice. She had sensed something was wrong for a while now, and it was becoming increasingly bizarre.

It wasn't just Ning Rongrong; everyone else felt it was strange too, but no one dared to say it out loud.

Tang San was moved to the point of tears. Finally, someone understood him. The Live Broadcast Room was deliberately sabotaging him; he was innocent, he was a good person.

The Live Broadcast Room had no time to pay attention to Tang San.

[After Ye Tianyun joined Canghui Academy, aside from cultivation, he spent his time absorbing the knowledge of Canghui Academy and improving the Battle Armor.]

???

Tang San couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help but complain:

"You've got to be kidding me. The Battle Armor is already broken enough, and now he's going to improve it? Is he trying to leave no room for our Hidden Weapons to survive?"

Even the Godly Zhuge Crossbow couldn't break its defense; as for the remaining Hidden Weapons, perhaps only a tiny fraction could.

If Ye Tianyun improved the armor further, he truly didn't intend to let Hidden Weapons survive.

[Through Ye Tianyun's efforts, the Battle Armor was modified. Although it didn't reach Ye Tianyun's initial expectations, it successfully reached version 2.0.]

"No way, he actually researched it? This is version 2.0?"

Tang San truly couldn't accept this. One second he was researching it, and the next, he was told it was finished.

His heart was in turmoil; he couldn't handle such a blow.

In that case, would his hidden weapons still be able to pierce armor in the future?

Within the crowd, the dean of Canghui Academy sighed and said helplessly:

"What a pity that Ye Tianyun isn't at our school. If he were, I would dare to challenge the Martial Soul Team with a full squad equipped with battle armor."

As for the tiny Shrek Academy, he would crush them in minutes without even sparing them a second glance.

Seeing Tang San looking dejected, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to comfort him:

"Little San, don't take it to heart. I know your talent well; as long as you are willing to study it, you can also create battle armor."

Nearby, the Soul Saint Brothers were very curious.

"Xiaogang, what new functions do you think this battle armor has? It wouldn't increase one's soul power by thirty levels, would it?"

"It's possible. Xiaogang, what do you think?"

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

He really wanted to say, are we even that close? Could you please stop calling me Xiaogang every other sentence? We aren't that familiar.

The Live Broadcast Room took the initiative to start the introduction.

[The brand-new battle armor: Ye Tianyun has added a propulsion system. It can use soul power to provide thrust and increase speed. If the propulsion is sufficient, it can even achieve flight, though the soul power consumption is immense.]

The scene shifted.

Wearing the brand-new battle armor, Ye Tianyun conducted a flight test in the pitch-black night.

One could see a thruster added to the back of the battle armor, spewing out a powerful stream of air, sending Ye Tianyun straight up into the sky.

Countless people watched the flying Ye Tianyun, their faces clearly expressing two words:

Envy.

After all, except for Title Douluo and a small number of Spirit Masters capable of flight, the vast majority could not fly.

Being able to fly, combined with the kind of speed Ye Tianyun displayed, meant that most dangers in the future could be easily avoided.

How did that saying go again?

I am an ordinary Spirit Master being hunted by a Soul Douluo, but I am not afraid, because I can fly and he cannot.

In the sky, Ye Tianyun could feel the massive drain on his soul power and had to land, his brows furrowed tightly.

"This won't do. This version of the battle armor is not good enough; it still needs further reinforcement."

Tang San's brows locked together, and he cursed in anger:

"This is absolutely intentional. Who is he trying to fool? This version isn't good enough?"

The flight speed just now was already comparable to his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track; it was just not flexible enough and couldn't turn at will.

But that minor flaw didn't count as a shortcoming at all.

Yu Xiaogang sneered mockingly:

"To be so arrogant after achieving a tiny bit of success—one must always remain low-key, because you never know when an expert might appear."

Tang San felt that these words made a lot of sense and nodded heavily.

"Teacher is right. Even if I become a God King in the future, I will absolutely never be arrogant."

If Ye Tianyun were to hear this, he would definitely mock Tang San.

Once Tang San became a God King, he would no longer be human.

In the footage.

Ye Tianyun retracted his battle armor and sighed again:

"Sigh, I still need to keep working hard to strengthen it, otherwise how will I beat Tang San to a pulp next time? If I don't beat Tang San, wouldn't I have come here for nothing?"

????

Tang San's head was full of question marks.

No, he was researching brand-new battle armor just to beat him to a pulp?

Fine, fine, fine. Ye Tianyun had already invited his own death.
