"That's impossible!"
At the sight, Jing Hongchen instantly lost his composure and cried out in shock.
Compared with the full-body armor their Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had once brought out, which could only help charge the Thunderclap Colossal Sword, the equipment Shrek had produced was clearly Soul-Guide Battle Armor with genuine combat capabilities.
Simply put, this was true Battle Armor: Soul-Guide Battle Armor that could greatly amplify its Soul Master user's strength, speed, and even other abilities.

At that moment, Jing Hongchen was utterly consumed by suspicion, even wondering whether the Body Sect really had sold Experiment Subject One to Shrek, lock, stock, and barrel.
But even if Experiment Subject One really had fallen into Shrek's hands, how could Shrek's people possibly have developed such powerful battle armor in just a few short years? That defied all logic, didn't it?
In reality, did it truly defy logic? Not necessarily. The people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had simply gone down a dead end.
From the moment they created Experiment Subject One, using over a hundred tons of rare metals for its basic framework, the Sun Moon Empire's research into Humanoid Soul Tools over the next several thousand years could already have been declared a failure.

And what about the Sun Moon Empire's rare-metal giant, which weighed over
