Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 407 "Wordless Battle Armor"

The next moment, Wu Feng subconsciously injected more soul power, then bent his knees and jumped up suddenly.

"Boom——"

In Ning Tian and Chen Ping's view, Wu Feng was like a cannonball, soaring into the air and leaping nearly a hundred meters into the sky.

"Ahhhhh, it's so high!!!"

In mid-air, Wu Feng's panicked voice rang out.

She frantically retrieved her flying soul tool from her storage soul tool, which allowed her to recover from the mid-air and land safely, her face still showing lingering fear.

A height of nearly 100 meters may not sound like much, but it is actually as high as a 30-story building. Furthermore, a Soul Master's tolerance for falling from a height is directly proportional to their cultivation level.

It's obvious that a Soul Master at level 40-something doesn't have the ability to fall from a height of 100 meters unscathed; in fact, there's a good chance they'd be killed instantly.
Now Wu Feng dared not experiment recklessly as soon as he guessed what Chen Ping's new soul tool was for.

If something goes wrong and word gets back to the sect, people will say that Wu Feng, who caused such a ruckus in the sect before, accidentally jumped and died. In that case, his reputation after death will be ruined.

Ning Tian was also startled by Wu Feng's reckless behavior.

Seeing that Wu Feng wasn't injured, but had just sat down on the ground looking cowardly, she walked over and patted Wu Feng's head with a hint of reproach, reminding him not to be so reckless next time.

"What, what is this thing, Chen Ping?"

Wu Feng caught his breath on the ground for a while before recovering, then looked at Chen Ping with a resentful expression.

"Hmph, serves you right for messing around without even hearing what this thing is called. Now you're behaving yourself."

Chen Ping simply stepped forward and flicked Wu Feng's forehead, making Wu Feng grimace in pain before he finally spoke to explain.

"The equipment you are currently equipped with, I call it a soul-guided exoskeleton."

"As the name suggests, this thing is a soul tool. At the same time, this soul tool is an external skeleton that is different from the internal skeleton of us soul masters."

Chen Ping's novel concept immediately attracted Ning Tian and Wu Feng. Unlike the internal skeleton, the external skeleton was a really interesting idea!

"The design inspiration for this soul-guided exoskeleton comes from an image of an insect protected by a hard shell, but filled with deep-fried, delicious insect meat inside."

Chen Ping's words immediately gave the two girls goosebumps. It was obvious that these two girls had never tasted delicious fried insects before.

The inspiration for the exoskeleton design that Chen Ping mentioned actually comes from Blue Star's definition of insect carapaces.

The real motivation that made Chen Ping want to try making an exoskeleton was the Battle Armor that existed in the Douluo Continent III era, and the giant robot that Huo Yuhao brought back.

If we were to rank the difficulty of creating soul-guided mechs, the giant soul-guided robot inside Mingde Hall would undoubtedly be number one.

Yes, even the battle armor from the third era of the Douluo Continent, if we disregard the complex spirit-forged metals, is far less difficult to manufacture than this giant robot that Mingde Hall has been researching for who knows how many years and still hasn't finished.

The one level below this in terms of difficulty is the super mecha from the Douluo Continent III era, which can completely envelop a person, similar to armor—the Douluo Armor.

Is this thing powerful? Of course it is. If you create a four-word battle armor, its combat power can even rival that of a Limit Douluo.

The problem is, let alone a four-word battle armor, Chen Ping can't even create a one-word battle armor right now. It's true that the prototype of the battle armor is the giant soul-guided robot inside the Mingde Hall, but there's a technological gap of over ten thousand years between them. How could Chen Ping possibly figure it out in less than a year?
Therefore, Chen Ping could only continue to lower his requirements. A fully enclosed battle armor mech was not acceptable, but would a semi-enclosed one work?

I can't figure out the semi-enclosed mecha, so I'll just keep a few auxiliary mechanical structures and the soul guide core, and turn it into an exoskeleton, okay?

Following the principle of "if it doesn't work, lower the grade," Chen Ping finally completed the three major components—the lower limb exoskeleton, the shoulder exoskeleton, and the waist exoskeleton—after repeated revisions and with the help of the system's deductions.

He then adjusted the structure of these three main components and reassembled them, thus creating a completely new type of soul-guided exoskeleton.

This thing is far less effective than battle armor. Its only effect is to help the soul master exert force after soul power is injected, and to provide a negligible amount of protection.

In Chen Ping's eyes, this was the starting point for his creation of battle armor.

If the exoskeleton that Wu Feng was currently wearing was entirely made of spirit-forged metal, she could actually store it into her body at will.

It can be retracted and extended at will; such an exoskeleton is worthy of being called a wordless battle armor.

After Chen Ping explained the effects of the battle armor to the two of them, Wu Feng's reaction was not very strong. On the contrary, Ning Tian immediately became excited and asked Chen Ping to help her put on another set of exoskeletons.

After putting on the equipment, Ning Tian then poured his soul power into the exoskeleton and ran back and forth several times.

"Wow, that's fast! I feel that with the support of this exoskeleton, even without using any soul skills, my movement speed is close to that of an ordinary four-ring agility-type soul master."

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng was immediately startled. "Really?"

If the speed is close to that of an ordinary four-ring agility-type Soul Master, then isn't that the same speed as an ordinary four-ring strength-type or control-type Soul Master?
How can a support-type Soul Master who hasn't even acquired his fifth Soul Ring suddenly increase his running speed so drastically by equipping himself with such a bizarre exoskeleton?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Wu Feng jumped up, indicating that it was absolutely impossible for Ning Tian to run that fast.

Since flying soul tools can fly in the sky, it's good if they can move faster.

How could just a few metal frames possibly make a support character run as fast as an agility-based character?
"Oh, Fengmei, you're not convinced?"

Ning Tian sensed the depletion of his soul power after running several laps, and immediately invited Wu Feng to run a match with him and have a contest.

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng immediately took her place; she didn't believe in such nonsense.

Soon, with Chen Ping's command, Wu Feng's long legs immediately exerted force, and after running only fifty meters, he left Ning Tian a body length behind.

"Feng Mei, turn around."

Just then, Ning Tian's voice reached Wu Feng's ears. As soon as Wu Feng turned around, he saw a faint blue light shining from the exoskeleton on Ning Tian's right arm.

Ning Tian's delicate fist, encased in a simple skeletal frame, swung towards her.

"boom----"

Having taken Ning Tian's punch squarely, Wu Feng felt his blood surging, as if he had been punched by a powerful attack-type Soul Master of the same level!
It's obvious that the exoskeleton Chen Ping created not only enhances movement speed but also punching power!
By the time Wu Feng realized that he had been punched by Ning Tian, ​​a support-type Soul Master, and his blood circulation was disrupted, Ning Tian had already crossed the finish line, hands on his hips, looking smug.
