Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 45 Battle Armor is Completed
The reason for the sigh was not because the start of school had delayed Tong Rui's schedule.

According to Tong Rui's current soul power level, even if he wanted to graduate, the three education committee members would have to earnestly plead with Tong Rui to stay. Therefore, even if Tong Rui did not go to school, as long as he stayed in the academy and waited for the soul master competition to end, no one would care what he wanted to do.

The reason why Tong Rui sighed was also related to the start of school. This was already the second semester of this school year, which meant that in only half a year, his own Qunxing Academy would officially start.

But now it seems that both the selection of teachers and the enrollment of students in the academy require a large amount of capital flow. Otherwise, with only a few families and dozens of people sent by the sects, this academy might as well be renamed a training camp.

Moreover, it is impossible for Tong Rui to completely ignore his partners in the academy. Whether they want to join a sect, engage in business cooperation, or maintain social relationships, they still have to stay in the academy for a period of time every semester.

"Time, time, and more time. Without an established sect, nothing can go smoothly. Why don't I have a vassal of destiny like the four single-attribute clans?" Tong Rui complained to himself.

Whether it was the Xingrui City he had created, the auction, or even the research on soul guides and the development of the academy, they were all meant to speed up the development of the sect. But without a sect, it would be difficult for all of this to develop.

"The most urgent task is to forge the battle armor first, and then go visit the two major families. Only with more manpower can we develop the sect, expand the business, and escape from this vicious cycle."

After deciding on the itinerary, Tong Rui sent someone to inform Dugu Bo to return to the sect, while he went to find his father Tong Qingtian to prepare to make his battle armor first.

Fortunately, the sect had been built and Tong Qingtian still needed to stay in the sect, so it was easy to find him.

Tong Rui kicked open the door of Tong Qingtian's study and shouted, "Father, come quickly, let's make the battle armor you designed together."

Tong Qingtian immediately appeared behind Tong Rui and tapped the back of Tong Rui's head with two fingers together: "Be gentle, this door is very expensive. Huh? You have broken through to the Soul King!"

"Well, after I forged all the metals, I broke through level 50, and my fourth soul ring condensed into the fifth soul ring for me." Tong Rui nodded and said.

"My fifth soul skill is called Star Barrier. It uses soul power to condense an indestructible protective shield. And my astrological attribute can further enhance his protective ability, reaching an absolute defense below the god level in an instant."

Tong Qingtian's eyes widened: "Absolute defense? The astrological attribute is indeed abnormal, absolute defense below the god level! I didn't expect that the naturally condensed soul skills can be so suitable for your martial soul."

Tong Rui smiled and continued, "But the most urgent task is to forge your battle armor first. After all, this may be the highest-level armor I can forge for you in the past ten years. It would be better for you to have some sense of participation."

"Hahaha, okay, make the armor for Wuhun to wear, so that I can see its power." Tong Qingtian laughed.

"The alloys I forged for your armor are all made of meteorite iron, water crystals, and deep-sea silver. First, these three metals are not difficult to find, and I am more familiar with them. Second, the astrological martial spirit has a higher degree of compatibility with meteorite iron, and the deep-sea silver has a higher ductility, so it is more convenient to add more metals to forge later. The water crystals can also neutralize them."

"Add more metal?" Tong Qingtian asked puzzledly.

"Because spiritual alloys need to decide how many metals to add based on the degree of fusion. It seems that at most nine metals can be forged into one alloy, but I can't accurately measure the degree of fusion, so I can only look for the metal with better ductility and that I am most familiar with to forge." Tong Rui replied.

"I understand. But regarding the measurement of fusion degree, maybe you can develop a soul guide specifically for measuring fusion degree? After all, you should be planning to promote forging, so the instrument for measuring fusion degree will not have trouble selling, and it can also earn you a good reputation among blacksmiths." Tong Qingtian couldn't help but analyze.

"I do have this idea. In the future, I also plan to produce physical examination soul guides, forging platform soul guides, and energy storage soul guides. However, my current level of soul guide research is not yet up to par. It will probably take decades for me to study these by myself." Tong Rui said helplessly. Tong Qingtian changed the style of the alloy according to the design and said, "Is this why you want to start teaching soul guides in the academy? It can not only add core talents to the sect, but also gather ideas to help you produce a series of soul guide equipment."

"That's right. Soul Guidance Devices need to be promoted. The more people pay attention to Soul Guidance Devices, the more precious our sect's innate advantages and resources will become."

After getting the shell designed by Tong Qingtian, Tong Rui began to concentrate on carving the core magic circle without further discussion.

Seeing that Tong Rui was concentrating on his work, Tong Qingtian also silently transformed the shape of the metal and observed and learned the magic circle carved by Tong Rui.

The carving of the core magic circle is extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming, so even if Tong Rui's mental strength, soul power and physical strength can support the complete design, the passage of time cannot be stopped.

It was not until the evening, when all the formations were carved on the battle armor, that the connected formations echoed with the stars in the sky.

"Right now, blood sacrifice armor."

As soon as Tong Rui finished speaking, Tong Qingtian on the other side was already prepared to leave a wound on various parts of his body, and use the blood to guide the armor to fuse.

At this time, Dugu Bo had already arrived. Tong Rui was too focused before and did not notice his arrival.

After the production was completed, Dugu Bo looked at the changes in Tong Qingtian and asked without hesitation: "Xiao Rui, is this also the surprise you want to prepare for me?"

"That's right. You will have a sparring match with my father later. It will also be a good opportunity for you to see the power of this armor."

Dugu Bo said with interest: "Oh? So confident? You want your father to defeat the title with the strength of Soul Douluo with just a set of armor?"

Tong Rui smiled mysteriously and said, "Then I hope Senior won't make a mistake later."

Soon, the battle armor had completely merged with Tong Qingtian. Seeing Tong Qingtian walking out in his original form, Dugu Bo asked curiously, "Where's the armor?"

Tong Rui explained: "This is the difference between battle armor and ordinary armor. This is armor for martial souls, so it can be integrated into the body together with martial souls."

Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows and said, "The armor for the spirit is interesting. Boy, are you interested in fighting with me for a few moves? Let me see what the armor that Xiaorui has been praising is capable of."

Tong Qingtian also replied confidently: "Then I would like to ask Senior Dugu to give me some advice."
