Battle Armor Can Increase Combat Strength by Twenty Levels!

Everyone felt the aura emanating from Wu Zhangkong and stood frozen in place. The pressure was simply too overwhelming; they could not move at all.

Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at the thing called Battle Armor on Wu Zhangkong's body, wondering if it was also a type of Soul Tool.

Moreover, unlike something like a Soul Cannon, although Soul Cannons could increase one's combat strength, they could not enhance one's aura, let alone by such an enormous amount. Zhu Zhuqing did not know exactly how great the increase was, but she could tell it was formidable.

The others in the class felt the same way. They all felt that the armor Wu Zhangkong had put on did not seem like an external object at all, but something that had fused with him.

Still, none of them had seen Wu Zhangkong take the Battle Armor out of a storage Soul Tool and put it on. It had to be said that Battle Armor emerging directly from one's body looked far cooler than taking it out of a storage Soul Tool and then putting it on.

And... in an actual battle, an opponent would not let you leisurely change into Battle Armor.

Everyone's gazes fell upon Wu Zhangkong's Battle Armor, their eyes gleaming with longing. They wanted one too. If they had something like this, their strength would surely rise tremendously.

At that moment, Wu Zhangkong withdrew his pressure and began his introduction.

"A Battle Armor Master is a top-tier profession that perfectly fuses special armor with a Soul Master's own Martial Soul. Unlike your secondary professions, this is not something you can choose whether or not to pursue. It is something every one of you must possess."

"A Soul Master with Battle Armor will see a massive increase in strength. This increase is not a simple equipment bonus, but a resonance and amplification between the Martial Soul and the armor."

"Generally speaking, any Battle Armor Master wearing a complete set of Battle Armor is a full twenty levels stronger than an ordinary Soul Master of the same rank."

After hearing Wu Zhangkong's words, everyone in the classroom froze, their minds going blank. They wondered whether he had misspoken.

Perhaps he had not meant twenty levels, but two.

To them, fighting across two levels was already incredibly impressive. After all, on the Douluo Continent, every level was stronger than the last.

Only a small number of people could challenge opponents above their level. Most people were the ones challenged by those above their level, all while following the rule that every level was stronger than the last.

But... what if Wu Zhangkong was not exaggerating?

What if a single set of Battle Armor truly could provide a twenty-level increase? No one dared to think further.

Even Ning Rongrong, who came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, did not dare imagine it. This thing simply overturned everything she knew. How could something like this truly exist in the world?

"I know some of you find this difficult to believe, but wait until I have finished explaining."

"One-Word Battle Armor requires at least a Five-Ring Soul King to wear. A Five-Ring Soul King wearing a complete set of One-Word Battle Armor can contend with, and even defeat, a Seven-Ring Soul Sage."

"Two-Word Battle Armor requires a Six-Ring Soul Emperor to wear. A Six-Ring Soul Emperor wearing Two-Word Battle Armor can likewise rival an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo."

"Of course, if a Seven-Ring Soul Sage wears One-Word Battle Armor, the amplification will not be significant. Still, wearing it can improve one's defense somewhat."

Ning Rongrong's mind raced.

A Five-Ring Soul King wearing One-Word Battle Armor could fight a Seven-Ring Soul Saint, while a Six-Ring Soul Emperor wearing Two-Word Battle Armor could fight an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.

Then by that logic, could a Seven-Ring Soul Saint wearing Three-Word Battle Armor fight a Nine-Ring Title Douluo?

What about an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo wearing Four-Word Battle Armor?

As she thought about it, she suddenly realized a problem. If every level of Battle Armor had a corresponding minimum requirement, then Wu Zhangkong was a Seven-Ring Soul Sage wearing Two-Word Battle Armor. How was his amplification calculated?

Wu Zhangkong had just said that a Five-Ring Soul King could fight a Seven-Ring Soul Saint after wearing it, but that the amplification for a Seven-Ring Soul Saint was not great. Then how powerful an opponent could a Seven-Ring Soul Saint fight after wearing it?

Ning Rongrong raised her hand.

"Teacher, you are currently a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, and you are wearing Two-Word Battle Armor... how much does it amplify you? A Six-Ring Soul Emperor wearing Two-Word Battle Armor can fight an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo. How great is the increase when you, a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, wear Two-Word Battle Armor?"

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Ning Rongrong and nodded slightly.

"Good question."

"I am currently at the Seven-Ring level. After putting on Two-Word Battle Armor, my strength can rival that of a Title Douluo."

"Of course, although my combat strength can rival a Title Douluo's, I am still short two Soul Rings. If we were to fight, it would still depend on both sides' combat experience and mastery over Soul Power."

A chorus of sharp breaths echoed through the classroom.

Luo Ziyan was utterly stunned. Even so, this level of amplification was terrifying. It was only short by one or two Soul Rings.

On the Douluo Continent, all below Title Douluo were ants. Title Douluos could receive titles, and people addressed them as "Your Eminence," which was enough to show their transcendent status.

Yet now, a Seven-Ring Soul Sage could exchange blows with a Title Douluo after equipping Two-Word Battle Armor. How could everyone not be shocked?

Not everyone had the ability to fight a Title Douluo.

Ning Rongrong swallowed.

"No wonder Teacher said Blacksmiths and Soul Engineers are the two most profitable professions..."

She thought to herself.

The enhancement this provides to Soul Masters is immeasurable. If anyone on the Douluo Continent knew about this, they would be willing to pay any price for it, wouldn't they?

Father and the others would certainly spare no expense to obtain it. Unfortunately... the force that possesses this must surely look down on something as material as money.

For the first time, Ning Rongrong felt as though her money was useless. In a place like this, most of the good things she encountered could not be measured in money at all.

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head slightly, a glint flashing through her eyes. She had to become a Battle Armor Master, and before that, a blacksmith.

It was just... she did not know whether she was suited to becoming a blacksmith. After all, her Martial Soul was the Hell Spirit Cat, and she was an Agility Attack System Soul Master. A blacksmith sounded like someone who hammered iron, clearly work for a Strength Type Soul Master. She might not actually be able to do it.

But... she still had to give it a try, for her future.
