More than five years have passed since Kong Xuan handed over the information about Battle Armor that he had compiled from Yun Ming to Kong Deming.
After thousands of days and nights of research and overcoming countless difficulties, and with the blacksmith mastering the ability to Thousand Refinement, the first complete set of Battle Armor has finally been created!
Huo Yuhao's gaze was fixed on the armor-like Soul Tool on the shelf next to Kong Deming. Relying solely on the observation of his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, he could not yet determine the function of this armor.
However, for Kong Deming to introduce it so solemnly, it must be something far more powerful than he imagined.
" Xuan'er!"
Kong Deming suddenly looked to the other side, his tone somewhat excited, and said, "Why don't you give it a try!"
The finished Battle Armor displayed here today was designed by Yun Ming with the help of Kong Xuan.
Therefore, in this era, the first Battle Armor born in the Sun Moon Empire will also be Kong Xuan's Battle Armor!
Slowly walking to the shelf, Kong Xuan took down the various parts of the Battle Armor and put them on.
Because it is only Battle Armor made of Thousand Refinement metal, this Battle Armor is only One-Word Battle Armor.
This is also the most inconvenient aspect of the One-Word Battle Armor; it can only be worn manually.
Ten thousand years later, One-Word Battle Armor Master can only be considered a prototype of Battle Armor Master.
Only by possessing Two-Word Battle Armor — Two-Word Battle Armor crafted through Spirit Forging —can it merge with Life, truly becoming a part of the body. Only then can one become a true Battle Armor Master.
After the final headband was placed on Kong Xuan's head, Kong Xuan One-Word Battle Armor was fully donned.
It was clear that Kong Xuan's figure had become much taller and more robust after donning the Battle Armor. With the infusion of Soul Power, the entire Battle Armor suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden-red light.
The armor clung tightly to Kong Xuan's body, many of the armor plates polished smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling crimson-gold light.
The breastplate is engraved with a lifelike coiled dragon pattern, its body winding and coiling, its scales shimmering with a metallic luster, and its mouth wide open, as if roaring at all things in the world.
On each of the left and right shoulder armors is a huge crimson-gold lion's head, its mouth wide open, its sharp teeth clashing, as if it wants to tear any enemy that dares to approach to shreds.
The arm armor extends from the shoulder to the wrist, with an ingenious joint that ensures both arm flexibility and armor sturdiness.
The leg armor on his lower body tightly wrapped around Kong Xuan's legs, with layers of armor plates stacked on top of each other from his thighs to his calves, arranged as closely as fish scales.
He wore a pair of crimson gold combat boots, the uppers of which were inlaid with several sapphires, complementing the crimson gold armor and making him appear even more magnificent and noble.
Under Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes gaze, as the soul guidance patterns on the Battle Armor were illuminated, Kong Xuan's own Soul Power was steadily increasing.
Although the specific Soul Power Level cannot be determined, it has clearly already exceeded the scope of the Soul Ancestor.
Huo Yuhao hadn't expected that this Battle Armor would amplify Soul Power so powerfully. Even Titled Douluo- level Auxiliary System Soul Master probably couldn't provide such a strong boost to others!
This was also the first time Kong Xuan had worn this One-Word Battle Armor that belonged to him. He carefully felt the changes in various parts of his body, and his expression couldn't help but become excited.
"How about it?"
Kong Deming's eyes were filled with anticipation, eager to know if the Battle Armor would achieve its expected results.
Kong Xuan closed his eyes and said while experiencing it, "Because it is made of Thousand Refinement metal, the Battle Armor itself has powerful defensive capabilities."
"Besides that, the most important thing is the boost that the Battle Armor provides to Soul Power. My Soul Power is now no weaker than that of Soul Saint."
"Aside from lacking Martial Soul Avatar and a few Soul Skill, he's practically indistinguishable from Soul Saint."
The requirement for using the One-Word Battle Armor is Soul Power level of at least 50.
Although Kong Xuan's Soul Power is currently only at level 49 and he has not yet broken through to the Soul King, his Soul Power has been constantly tempered and compressed, and its strength is far beyond that of ordinary Soul Ancestor.
Therefore, even though Kong Xuan is only Soul Ancestor, he can still wear and use the One-Word Battle Armor.
Listening to Kong Xuan's story, Kong Deming could no longer hide his joy, and he was as excited as a child.
He had dedicated his life to researching Soul Tool, and only this kind of thing could excite him so much.
The successful development of the Battle Armor marked a new stage in the development of Soul Tool. How could Kong Deming not be excited? This was a technology that was born ten thousand years ahead of schedule!
Huo Yuhao was also somewhat dumbfounded. Soul Power increase of more than twenty levels—if he hadn't been able to clearly sense the changes in Kong Xuan, he probably wouldn't have believed it so easily.
Now he understood why Kong Deming had attached so much importance to it; it truly was a groundbreaking product.
If the Sun Moon Empire possessed the capability to mass-produce Battle Armor, it would significantly boost its Sun Moon strength. Battle Armor is a revolutionary Soul Tool Technology capable of changing the course of the continent!
Having adapted to the enhancements provided by the Battle Armor, Kong Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, how's the research on Spirit Forging going?"
Kong Deming's excited expression subsided slightly, and he said in a deep voice, " Xi Yuan is an unprecedented genius in forging, but compared to Thousand Refinement, Spirit Forging is much more difficult. However, Xi Yuan said that he has mastered some of the key points and is confident that he can complete the first Spirit Forging within two years."
Xi Yuan was a blacksmith genius that Kong Deming poached from the Star Luo Empire. At first, he refused to come to Sun Moon, but in the end, he revealed some details of Thousand Refinement and Spirit Forging to him, which finally moved him.
Although he was only shown some theoretical knowledge, Xi Yuan, as a senior blacksmith, was naturally able to judge that it was indeed feasible.
In recent years, it was under Xi Yuan's leadership that the Worship Hall successfully mastered the Thousand Refinement of various rare metals.
"Only Two-Word Battle Armor that has undergone Thousand Refinement can truly demonstrate its Battle Armor."
Kong Xuan nodded; two years wasn't a long time.
Huo Yuhao, standing beside him, widened his eyes even more. Judging from the names "One-Word Battle Armor" and "Two-Word Battle Armor," it was clear that the Two-Word Battle Armor was definitely of a higher rank.
If One-Word Battle Armor already provides such a powerful boost to Soul Master, he couldn't even imagine Two-Word Battle Armor could do.
In that instant, he felt that Soul Tool Technology he had learned over the past few months had been for nothing; compared to this Battle Armor, they were nothing but child's play.
Kong Deming then asked, "So, are you still planning to reveal your Battle Armor at next year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament? Or will you wait until next time?"
Kong Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Now that we can manufacture One-Word Battle Armor, it's time to let other countries and forces witness its Battle Armor. There's no need to wait until next time."
"You'd better think this through. After witnessing the Battle Armor, those Soul Master who looked down on Soul Tool will probably go crazy."
Kong Deming spoke seriously, explaining that the amplification provided by the Battle Armor was targeted at the Martial Soul, a completely different concept from traditional Soul Tool.
Showcasing the power of Battle Armor in a competition across the entire continent would surely make everyone restless.
"Grandpa, the empire wants to unify the continent, but sometimes it doesn't have to be solved by force."
Kong Deming naturally understood Kong Xuan's meaning, and he laughed heartily, "Alright, then Grandpa will go crazy with you this once, but I'm afraid the Worship Hall will be visited by quite a few people!"
"However, if anyone dares to harbor any ill intentions, even Grandpa Super Douluo will ensure they don't leave alive!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart trembled slightly. Could such a secret truly be overheard by someone from the Star Luo Empire?
As the son of the White Tiger Duke, Kong Deming was well aware of his identity.
At this moment, Kong Deming looked at his somewhat dazed disciple and smiled, " Yuhao, from now on, you'll have to add one more thing to your curriculum: learning how to make Battle Armor from your master."
Huo Yuhao, his heart trembling, immediately replied, "Yes, teacher!"
