Douluo Dalu: The Unrivaled Panlong Zhentian

Chapter 24: Soul Connection, Soul Guide Armor

Nearly twenty days later, Qiangu Tianzong finally completed the soul guide external skeleton armor he designed.

"Level 5 soul guide! I think my speed is fast! After all, this thing is quite troublesome to use."

Qiangu Tianzong looked at the level 5 soul guide he designed and made with satisfaction. He then put away the soul guide's external skeleton armor and drawings and left the soul guide workshop.

After Qiangu Tianzong left the room, he randomly found someone in Mingde Hall and asked, "Is the hall master in Mingde Hall?"

"The master is not here!"

It seems that Qiangu Tianzong is very unlucky.

So he went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to ask. Unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen was not there either.

The only place left is Jing Hongchen's home.

It is very rare that a workaholic like Jing Hongchen would go home during such a busy period.

However, what Qiangu Tianzong was most worried about was not whether Jing Hongchen was at home, but whether Jing Hongchen was practicing in seclusion or researching and making soul guides.

At Jing Hongchen's level, if he wanted to make a soul guide device, unless there were special requirements, he would have to develop a ninth-level soul guide device, and the time and energy required to make it would undoubtedly be enormous.

He hurried to Jing Hongchen's residence and met Jing Hongchen as he wished. In addition to Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were also there.

"Oh? Little fox, how come you have time to come to see me!" Jing Hongchen looked at Qiangu Tianzong with a smile.

"Humph!" Xiao Hongchen snorted naturally. At this point, he could only be a little tough in his words.

"Brother Tianzong!" Meng Hongchen greeted Qiangu Tianzong happily.

"Good afternoon, teacher!" As a student, basic courtesy is ingrained in him.

"Hello!" Then he greeted Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen.

"I ran away for a while, and you are really at home, teacher."

"From what you said, it seems like you really came here specifically to see me."

"Don't I remember that you are still in Mingde Hall?" Jing Hongchen is the head of Mingde Hall, and Qiangu Tianzong is his disciple, so whenever Qiangu Tianzong is in Mingde Hall, the people below will tell Jing Hongchen.

"Looking at you, you should have developed some new soul guide device!" Jing Hongchen was like an old fox.

"Haha, teacher is worthy of being a teacher." Qiangu Tianzong said with a smile.

"Teacher, look." Qiangu Tianzong waved his right hand, and a black shadow emerged from his storage soul guide ring.

"Hmm!?" Jing Hongchen looked at the black shadow that gradually revealed its true form, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his voice suddenly became serious. The black shadow gradually solidified and finally turned into a streamlined black armor full of mechanical beauty.

"This is the soul guide external skeleton armor you designed. You made it?!" Jing Hongchen's voice contained shock, surprise and relief.

"What level of soul guide is it?" he asked.

"A fifth-level soul guide has a built-in milk bottle. The soul master only needs to use soul power to drive it."

"A fifth-level soul guide device with a built-in baby bottle!" Jing Hongchen's voice was full of admiration. The vision of a ninth-level soul guide was extraordinary. He could see through the essence from the phenomenon. He felt that this kind of soul guide with external skeleton armor might become one of the important directions for the development of soul guides in the future.

"The young are truly formidable!" Jing Hongchen exclaimed, turning his gaze towards Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, "Look, this is my disciple. Not only has he made rapid progress in his cultivation, he is also so outstanding in the development of soul guides."

Although Xiao Hongchen was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he was just one year older than him! What was he showing off?
Meng Hongchen looked at Qiangu Tianzong with eyes full of admiration, "Brother Tianzong is so awesome! But what is this for?"

"Stupid! This is obviously a soul guide similar to armor, and I just mentioned its name. This soul guide is an armor that combines attack and defense into one." Xiao Hongchen felt jealous as he saw that his sister had completely become someone else's little fangirl.

Meng Hongchen playfully stuck out her tongue at Xiao Hongchen.

"I knew that you, little fox, could always bring me some surprises." Jing Hongchen had already stood up and came to the skeleton armor attached to the soul guide.

This soul guide external skeleton armor was placed there in a three-dimensional manner, without any external auxiliary support. Jing Hongchen looked it up and down, then spread his hands on it, inputting the soul power in his hand into the external skeleton armor, and immediately the soul guide core array in the armor was activated.

"It has indeed reached the level of a fifth-grade soul guide device, with nearly sixty soul guide core arrays engraved on it." The expert sensed it clearly as soon as he made a move.

In fact, he could also make the soul guide of Qiangu Tianzong, but he felt that such a soul guide was still much inferior to the humanoid soul guide that their Mingdetang was privately researching.

He thought that the set in front of him could only provide some attack power and enhance defense. However, the humanoid soul guide they imagined was the ultimate weapon, a killer on the battlefield. Strong defense was only the basics. The most important thing was the various soul guide attacks equipped on it, and the excessive amount of milk bottles could last for a long time.

Mingdetang’s humanoid soul guide is the prototype of mecha.

However, he was also very satisfied that Qiangu Tianzong could do it. This proved that his disciple's vision was comparable to the research results of the senior soul instructors of their Mingde Hall over hundreds of years.

"What is the specific effect of this soul guide attached to the skeleton armor?"

"Teacher, I actually kept you in suspense before."

"Oh?"

"My soul guide skeleton armor is ideally designed to be worn by martial spirits."

"To wear on the martial soul?" Jing Hongchen had indeed not expected this.

"Teacher, the soul guide core array engraved on my soul guide skeleton armor is different from the soul guide core array you gave me."

"The soul guide core array that I carved was created by myself in the past few years. The core array in this soul guide external skeleton armor can guide soul masters to establish a deeper connection with their martial souls, which greatly enhances the martial soul's attack power, defense power, speed and other attributes. Not only that, this soul guide external skeleton armor also has a certain degree of adaptability, and can adjust itself according to the different characteristics of the martial soul to achieve the best use effect." Qiangu Tianzong explained in detail.

After Jing Hongchen heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into deep admiration. He knew that such a design concept not only required a deep knowledge of soul guides, but also a deep understanding of martial souls.

It is truly rare for a person like Qiangu Tianzong to have such ideas and creativity.

"We have never thought about giving martial souls armor before. Little guy, your idea is very good." Jing Hongchen smiled and patted Qiangu Tianzong's shoulder.

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher." Qiangu Tianzong smiled modestly.

“However, this soul guide external skeleton armor still needs to be tested in actual combat to determine its true effect.” Jing Hongchen reminded.

"Hmph, isn't it just a test? Let me do it!" Just as Jing Hongchen had just raised his hand, Xiao Hongchen stood up.

"I don't believe you really made this kind of thing. I want to see how you will end up if it doesn't have this effect." Xiao Hongchen thought to himself.

Jing Hongchen looked at his proud grandson and felt a little helpless. He had been trained by Qiangu Tianzong for such a long time, but his arrogant personality was still like this!
"Okay, since you are interested, Xiao Hongchen, you can try the effect of this soul guide attached skeleton armor." Jing Hongchen nodded and agreed to Xiao Hongchen's request.

This time he stopped shouting. He walked to the soul guide external skeleton armor and began to put on the soul guide external skeleton armor on himself according to Qiangu Tianzong's instructions.

"Is this the soul guide skeleton armor? After wearing it, I can really feel the spiritual connection."

"Activate your martial spirit!" said Qiangu Tianzong.

Xiao Hongchen glanced at Qiangu Tianzong, and then his martial spirit possessed him.

Xiao Hongchen's martial soul is the three-legged golden toad. As an extremely rare beast martial soul, the three-legged golden toad has a very special ability, which is to control metal. No matter what type of metal it is, it can be controlled by him. He can even assist his own cultivation by absorbing the energy from some rare metals.

Today, Xiao Hongchen's soul power has reached the peak of level 39 and is about to break through level 40. Moreover, his soul power is very solid and not at all empty.

He injected his soul power into the armor.

As soul power was injected, the soul guide skeleton armor began to emit a faint light, and soul guide core arrays lit up on the surface of the armor, emitting a strange aura. Xiao Hongchen felt that a wonderful connection had been established between his martial soul and the armor, as if his martial soul had been greatly enhanced at this moment.

"I have one more soul ring than you, so you can use the rest of your soul guides to attack me."

"I hope you won't let me down!" Qiangu Tianzong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Xiao Hongchen.
