Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 286 Soul Power Armor Transformation, Incredibly Cool

time flies.

After breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm, Lin Xiao did not rush to hunt for his sixth soul ring. Instead, he stayed at the Ye residence for more than a month, both to accompany Sister Yan Yan and the others and to cultivate.

Last night, he and Bing'er practiced the "Yin Yang Phoenix Nirvana Mystic Chapter," which helped Bing'er break through to level 49.

Before the Soul Master Competition, Shui Bing'er was level 47. Because she absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, her soul power had reached level 48 and was about to break through to level 49.

Lin Xiao gave it a hand, which helped to break through this barrier.

The two agreed to hunt for spirit rings together.

The date for hunting for the soul ring is yet to be determined; it will be after Lin Xiao finishes one more task.

……

The Power Clan, in the back mountains.

Flames swirled around Lin Xiao, with three types of phoenix fire—crimson, black, and golden-white—rising and falling in rapid succession. Each type of phoenix fire had its own unique characteristics, yet they all shared a terrifyingly high temperature, making him appear like a god of fire.

However, Lin Xiao, who was playing with fire, looked troubled.

He sighed and said to the maple leaf on his shoulder:
"Maple Leaf, this soul power armor is way too difficult!"

Soul Power Armor is an advanced skill in Douluo Continent I. It usually requires a Soul Master to collect multiple Soul Bones and achieve a high degree of compatibility to activate. Its function is to transform the Soul Master's Soul Power into armor, enhancing their defense and combat power.

Lin Xiao has already collected five soul bones, with only the head soul bone and torso soul bone missing, but this already meets one of the requirements for soul power armor.

As for the high degree of compatibility between the soul bone and the soul master...

First, Lin Xiao's soul bones are all fire-attribute bird soul bones; second, all of his soul bones have been tempered by his own phoenix fire.

Looking back at the history of Douluo Continent, it's hard to find another Soul Master with such a high degree of compatibility between their Soul Bone and Soul Master's Soul.

However, everyone has their own pursuits.

Using the five soul bones within his body as nodes, Lin Xiao circulated his soul power. In a short while, his soul power arranged and combined in a special structure, floating on his body surface to form a set of close-fitting crimson armor.

It took three seconds!

This astonishing speed also depends on the situation.

Being in such a state on the bed is a complete loss of face; but in battle, Lin Xiao's speed in transforming his soul power into armor is terrifying, and if word got out, it would make others feel inferior.

However, Lin Xiao's goal is to become a man who can kill in seconds!
Send immediately!
After achieving instantaneous delivery, we must strive for truly instantaneous delivery!

"It's not just a matter of the speed of casting spells with soul power armor, but also the level of detail in the armor."

"Soul power armor is a technical skill. If you're bad at it, you'll just need to make it look like armor. It consumes a huge amount of soul power and the defensive effect is also very average."

"But if you want to take it to the extreme..."

"It really tests a Soul Master's precision in controlling Soul Power. The deeper level of requirements actually involves the aspect of mental power."

Lin Xiao is now a quasi-Soul Emperor.

However, in terms of mental strength, he surpasses most Soul Saints.

Even so, it's still impossible to instantly transform soul power into armor.

Furthermore, the level of detail in his armor is lacking.

Lin Xiao looked down at his armor. The armor was crimson as its base color, with intricate patterns on various parts, resembling phoenix feathers. The chest area was decorated with a phoenix pattern outlined in beautiful lines.

On the back of the armor, there is a pair of fiery red wings, which are the armored form of the external soul bone "Crimson Phoenix Wings", which is both gorgeous and flamboyant.

If I had to describe him in one word, it would be "handsome".

If I had to describe it in two words, it would be "pretentious".

However, this cool soul power armor was still a little short of what Lin Xiao had in mind, and this slight difference was a chasm of spiritual power.

Although the patterns on the armor are cool, they are not just for showing off. Lin Xiao engraved the patterns on the armor based on the flame explosion patterns of his second soul skill, "Flame Explosion Phoenix Transformation," and the internal structure is also consistent. Therefore, his soul power armor has the attribute of "flame explosion" by itself.

Maple Leaf was both annoyed and amused:
"Hey, Lin Xiao, do you really have to design your soul power armor exactly like mine?"

"Even just resembling it in appearance is very difficult to achieve."

Maple Leaf said this, but in her ruby-like eyes, joy and pride involuntarily surfaced, along with a touch of arrogance.

The reason is simple. Lin Xiao actually wanted to make matching couple armor like hers.

Just think about how difficult that is!
The Phoenix God-King that Lin Xiao saw in Maple Leaf's memory was at the peak of her power! Trying to imitate her armor would only result in a futile imitation!

Lin Xiao's attitude was very firm.

"No way! I saw Maple Leaf's incredibly cool armor!"

"How can my soul power armor be subpar!"

"Furthermore, the level of detail in the soul power armor is closely related to its enhancement of defense and attack power, making it well worth studying!"

Maple Leaf suddenly felt that Lin Xiao was a bit childish.

But...it's actually quite cute.

She nodded slightly.

"Then go ahead."

"Actually, your pursuit of the finer details of soul power armor is very beneficial."

"Haven't you noticed? In the month you've been studying soul power armor, your mental strength has increased by leaps and bounds. The more complex and intricate the patterns, the better the texture of the armor, the more it proves that your mental strength has been greatly enhanced."

Lin Xiao continued to ponder and painstakingly refine his work until his brain began to ache, at which point he finally stopped to recover.

Another half month passed.

Lin Xiao arrived at the pool and looked at his reflection in the water, where he was wearing a crimson phoenix battle armor and had a pair of phoenix wings on his back that could be extended and retracted at will. He was already satisfied.

"This is my current limit."

He took out the Crimson Sky Sword and twirled it twice.

A fiery phoenix swirled around, and sparks flew everywhere.

He's incredibly handsome.

As for its power... Lin Xiao even felt that he could go toe-to-toe with Contra.

"Let's call it the Flame Dragon Armor... oops, let's call it the Flame Phoenix Armor!"

The weaknesses of the Flame Phoenix Armor lie in its head and torso, where its defenses are relatively weak due to the absence of head and torso spirit bones.

In the future, the remains of the souls from these two places will be complete.

The drawbacks naturally disappear.

"Tsk, it actually looks pretty good."

The maple leaves drifted away and then drew closer, observing Lin Xiao from all angles. They couldn't help but admire the young man's dashing spirit, comparing him to an incomparably noble war god.
"Who wouldn't be confused by this?"

"As expected of a bootleg version of my armor!"

Lin Xiao's lips curled into a smile.

Can the affairs of intellectuals be called piracy?

"This is something we should learn from!"

He admired it for a moment, then silently chanted, "Release!"

But then the phoenix battle armor on his body vanished instantly, transforming into a fire phoenix that rushed into his body, reducing the consumption of soul power by one-third compared to the beginning.

"Alright! There's plenty of time. We can study it slowly later."

"Next, let's go hunt for spirit rings together!"

He's already a Soul Emperor...

almost.

Once Lin Xiao reaches level 70, his strength will experience an explosive increase.

According to Maple Leaf, the rich phoenix bloodline within him will make his phoenix form terrifyingly powerful...
